ON OW I PRESIDENT ATTACHES SIGNATURE TO FLOOD CONTROLLEGISLATION COOLIDGE'S AiPPROVAL 3 A R K S END OF BITTER FIGHT IN BOTH HOUSES SENATE SPENDS BUSY DAY Protection In Mississippi Flood Area Will Be Assured As Bill Goes Into Immediate Effect (By Associated Press WASHINGTON, May 15.-The first constructive achievement of the 70th Congress, the Mississippi flood con- rol bill, became a law today when President Coolidge attached his sig- nature. Just a short week ago, both Senate and House were reverberating with the struggle that marked the birth of the gigantic engineering pro- ject; yet neither branch paused today ong enough to accord a passing salute to the final act of the flood control drama. On the contrary, both houses rudged along with elements of the legislative program to be completed before the interruption of the con- vention. The Senate dealt with taxes, third of the trio of big law making obs that were on the slate when Con- gress met last December. The House put through the prison-made goods enabling act designed to permit states to .act for themselves in excluding such goods from other state's. There was little sign of haste about tax debate today. For the most part it dealt with the plight of American corporations In the Philippines which were denied any relief ultimately, but t took two hours talking to reach that point. The Senate then took up the con- ference report on the merchant mar- ine policy bill. Amonk the commit- tees only the House rules body, which got out an eigt-hour debate limit for the Boulder dam limit, assured vir- tually a vote in the House on that subject before adjournment; and the mnate,' campbign funds committee in- qtiiry .did mnuch of Interest. They learned more about the efforts of Hoover's foes and friends in the pre- cohvention fight. The Senate committee investiga~ting conditions in the soft coal regions heard representatives of the Pen- nsylvania railroad deny that they had tried to influence downward the price of coals from union mines and pro- posed remedial legislation from the United Mine workers. In several of . the big committees during the da other pending projects were mentioned, but with agreement by their, authors in most cases that they. be conferred until the winter session. A host of small bills are waiting on the calendar and the Sen- ate will stick tight next week to hurry them through; but practically, the first session of the 70th Congress is clearing its deck for the convention adjournment with the general outline of Its accomplishments fairly well de- fined. WASHINGGTON, May 15. - The United States Mine workers' sugges- tion for legislation to bolster the sofi coal industry has been embodied ir bill form, and were distributed in exe- cutive meeting of the Senate inter state commerce committee today b Chairman Watson. . The bill seeks "to regulate Inter- state and foreign commerce in bitum inous coal; provides for consolidation mergers, and cooperative marketing regulates the fuel supply of inter state carriers; requires the licensin of corporations producing and 'ship ping coal in interstate commerce; any to create a bituminous coal commis sion." Watson, said he probably would in troduce the measure in the Senate to morrow, after which it will be re ferred to the sub-committee. PAINTED DEMONS SEIZE CAPTIVES BY MIGHTY OAK Listen to this tale of romance, Tale of Indian warriors bold- In the early moon of green leaves Came they forth, the stoics val- iant; Forth they romped to paleface wigwam, Wigwam once of friend Great Chief, Palefaces mighty among his kind; Camehesforth to takentheir token Of the warpath they would tread. Then to the mighty oak of Tap- pan Dashed the screaming, yelling redmen; To the tree of Indian legend Whence the white men pale and trembling Stood around the mighty oak; Warriors choice of paleface na- tion, Choice of Tribe to run the gaunt- let.

Chief Justice Brothers of the criminal court decided Monday to re- fer the whole series of political mur- ders, bombings, intimidations and kidnappings to a jury to be called to-I gether June 4. Oscar Carlstrom, attorney general 'of Illinois with the assistance of two representatives of the Chicago Bar association, which he has been ac- tive in demanding a thorough inves- tigation. The grand jury will be empowered to go back as far as the 1926 elec- tions in its ingiry into charges of terrorism and fraud. It will be asked to look into all the circumstances sur- rounding the bombing of Senator Deneen's and Judge Swanson's homes. as well as the slaying of "Diamond Joe" Esposito and Octavius Granady, each of whom was a candidate for ward committeeman on the Deneen ticket at the April 10, last, primary election. Crowe Requests Jury State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe, under whose regime the politico- crime conditions are alleged to have, existed, joined in the request for the special grand jury. He suggested to Judge Brothers that the prosecution be placed in the hands of Judges Swanson and Lindsay, 'Republican and Democratic candidates, respect- ively, for state's attorney next Novem- ber. Judge Swanson won the nomination from Crowe at the primary election. "One of these men will be the next state's attorney," Crowe told the t court, "and they might4 as well learn what they are up against now."' This suggestion brought objection- I from Carl R. Latham, president of the bar association, who said two riva' candidates for the same office could anot be expected to work in harmony. Theer was some objection made to e the designation of Attorney General Carlstrom as prosecutor, it being n pointed out that he was a candidate for re-election on the Deneen Repub- -lican state, which opposed the fac- >- IHn" hn1Zrlnrl )tr CLo aLA+Uleyt' HUFF, 28D, DIES OF BRAIN TUMOR Henry Roach Huff, '28D, who was to have graduated this June with a D.

COMMITTEE RECEIVS CAMPAIGNSTATEMENTI Magazine "Politics" Is Antagonistic To Candidacy Of. Secretary, Evidence Shows 3 GROUPS GIVE SUPPORT (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 15.-- Details and interesting ,accounts of the forces at work for and against the candi- dacy of Herbert Hoover for the Re- publican presidential nomination were given today to the Senate campaign expenditures committee in two long sessions. The testimony disclosed that while three Hoover organizations, national in scope but acting independently, are doing their utmost for the commerce secretary, the magazine Politics pub- lished here is fighting Hoover and en- couraging the field against him. The statement that Hoover 'support- ers in California, New York and Wash- :ngton are following separate courses in an effort to win the nomination for the cabinet member came from George T. Lockwood, one of generalissimos of his office here, and drew from Sen- ator McMaster, Republican, South Da- kota, a rapid-fire of questions. The senator told the witness that Jame's W. Wood, another Hoover counsul had "led the committee to believe" that the local office was the national headquarters, directing operations of those in California and New York. Richie and George C. Akerson, seretaries to Hoover, had told him that unless he changed the policy this country would be made too hot for him in the event of Hoover's election to the presidency. From former Gov. Samuel R. Mc- Kelvie, of Nebraska, the inquisitors received a voluntary statement as to his views on expenditures and circum- stances surrounding the recent con- test for Republican delegates in his state. McKelvie said that it was his understanding that the nine delegate's elected for Senator Norris, Republi- can independent, had been chosen through a coalition between the Nor-. ris, Lowden and Dawes forcestin hae tstate, a coalition which is said to have come about after Lowden's manager had stated he would enter the name of the Illinois governor in the primaries. DETROITER GIVES TROPHY AT MEE FESTIVAL WILL OPE WITH APPEARANCE 0 TONIGH I CHICAGO SYMPHONY ALSO TO APPEAR TONIGHT IN FIRST CONCERT ORGAN TO BE DEDICATED Christian, Accompanied By Orchestra, Will Play Number Composed By Delemarter Tonight at 8:15 in Hill auditorium, Margaret Matzanauer, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Mabel Ross Rhead, Palmer Christian, Frederick Stock, ad Eric Delamarter will all combine in the opening concert of the thirty-fifth annual May Festival. . The program for tonight includes seven solos by Miss Matzenauer, sev- eral numbers by the Chicago Sym- phony orchestra as well as the for- mal dedicatory organ selection by Mr. Christian. The symphony brehestra will accompany Mr. Christian in the presentation of the special number. Mr. Delamarter, who composed the work to be played will conduct the orchestra when it accompanies Mr. Christian's music. Participants Are Famous All those participating in tonight's galaj opening have reached high pin- acles of fame in their respective fields. Miss Matzenauer has long been an Ann Arbor favorite. She has been heard in Hill auditorium on many oc- casions,' both in concerts and in choral work. In the several years since she has been here, critics have acclaimed that her voice has "rip- ened to a full maturity." She h said to have an unusually large re- portorie and to be able to do any ol the great roles almost at sight. Al- though known primarily as a great contralto, Miss Matzenauer's voice range isssaid to be so great that she .can be called upon to sing practically any soprano part. The fame of the Chicago Symphony orchestra is known to music lovers all over the country. It has long stood out as one of America's most remarkable musical bodies.

The Weather (By Associated Press) Mostly cloudy with shmivers The University of Michigan club of Schenectady, New York, has just been announced as winner of the Rumney plaque for this year's alum- ni Triennial meeting, according to T.E Hawley Tapping, Field secretary off the Alumni Association. The plaque was donated by Mason P. Rumney, '07 E, of Detroit, past president of the organization, and is awarded to the chapter which, at the Triennial, has the best record with regard to total miles traveled by the delegates, total membership of the club, end per cent of representation at the meet- ing. Robert S. Peare, '22, and C. W. Stuart, '22, were the delegates for the Schenectady club. Mr. Stuart is President of his group and Secretary Treasurer of the First district which covers New York and New England. Nineteen delegates from Detroit traveled 10,000 miles to rank first in the total miles traveled while the New York delegation of six ranked second with a total of 9,600 miles. Arbor May Festival has been able to profit by the friendly relationship which has existed between the Uni- versity Musical Society and this or- chestra of 70 pieces in that it has been possible to bring the group here for each year during the last quarter of a century. Miss Rhead has gained an enviable reputation as an accompanist and will assist Miss latzenauer during her seven numbers tonight through her accompaniement on the piano. Christian Toured Country As official University organist, Pal- mer Christian has been recognized for his ability as an organist by be- ing selected recently to be America's representative at a concert given in New York by four great organists from Italy, Belgium, France, and Am- erica. His services are in continual demand from coast to coast. While the work was being done on the in- stallation of the new organ, he tour- ed the country, playing in many of the large cities, including Kansas City, Denver, Los Angeles, Portland and S'an Francisco. Frederick Stock and Eric Delamar- ter have both been actively identified with the work of the Chicago Sym- phony Orchestra, Mr. Stock as con- ductor, Mr. Delamarter as associate conductor. Many critics look to Mr. Stock as the outstanding orchestral conductor of the country. Ever since his early youth he has been identi- fied with orchestral work and attract- ed attention soon after his first pub- lic appearances. His rise to fame was rapid and in 1904 he became the con- ductor. Mr. Delamarter has conducted the orchestra on many notable occa- sions and his work tonight when he will have the distinct honor of wield- ing the baton over the dedicatory ex- ercises for the new Frieze memorial organ will be a tribute to his work.

FIRST FREE SHOW FOR MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARS AS BASEBALL NINE CLiNGS TO BIG TEN LEADERSHIP By Red Eds It has now been more than a year since Michigan students were defin- itely promised a free movie in Hill audtorium following the winning of a major Western conference champion- ship.
