(By Associated Preis)
HARRISBURG, Penn., June 4 --
Pennsylvania's election for a United
States senator and governor was
transformed today into an inform-
al referendum on the wet and dry
issue with the adoption by the
Democratic state committee of a
prohibition appeal platform.?
The committee without a dissent-
ing vote and amid cheers and ap-
plause, instructed the party's can-
didate's for the two offices to ad-
vocate repeal of the eighteenth
amendment, the Volstead Act, and
the Snyder-Armstrong state en-
forcement act. Nominees, Sedg-
wick Kistler, of Lockhaven, and
John H. Hemphill, Westchester, for
senator and governor respectively,
pledged themselves to the plat-
form.[
Both Republican nominees, Jam-
es Davis and Gifford Pinchot, are
committed to dry enforcement.

The three men who are still at,

believe they may have stolen an

Three of the fugitives were cap-

night, three others were found in
a nearby field this morning, an-
other was taken from a freight
train at Owosso and the tenth was,

Montcalm county. The recaptured
inmates included Joseph Badajak,
the ring leader of the escape plot.
The armies in Ionia county con-
tinued to keep a lookout for the
fugitives today. Deputy Sherif Ed-
ward Jood narrowly escaped being
the victim of one alert farmer's
wife who fired on him when she
took his party to be a group of the
escaped inmates.

ant told the sheriff that the car
was driven by a friend of the lead-

Yaden, one of the uncaptured
fugitives, is a slayer. He istbelieved
to have been the man who assisted
Badajak in the escape plot. Wyn-

(By Associatrd Pess)
BATON ROUGE, La., June 4.--

Not so long ago, he got notoriety!
by receiving the commander of the
German cruiser, Emden, in green

Martha Cook dormitory for wo-
men students, erected in memory
of his mother. Martha. Wolford
Cook, was another of the many
generous gifts which were present-
ed to the Board of Regents by Mr.
Cook. Aside from the donations. for
buildings, the deceased included a
$200,000 fund as a basis for securing
prominent men in the law profes-
slon as speakers during the winter
months in Ann Arbor. Chief Jus-
tice Charles Evans Hughes was
scheduled to appear at Hill auditor-
ium last fall under this fund but
was unable to. keep the engage-
ment because of his elevation to
the supreme court. Further lec-
tures on American institutions are
being contemplated, however, for
the next scholastic year.
Mr. Cook's nationally known law
book on "Corporations" which has
gone into eight editions, was the
basis for another gift to the Uni-
versity in the form of royalties
from which are now being used to
secure expert opinions and stories
for the "Michigan Law Review."
William Wilson Cook was born
at Hillsdale, Mich., on April 16,
1858. He was the son of John Pot-
ter Cook and Martha Wolford Cook,
and was a descendent by the ninth
generation of 'Governor William
Bradford of the Massachusetts
colony in 1620. Cook was graduated
from the University in 1880 and
received his degree in law two
years later. In 1883 he Was admit-
ted to the bar in the state of New
York and practised as a corpora-
tion lawyer in New York City until
1921. He was a member of the Un-
ion and Lawyers' leagues in the
eastern city.
Wrote Several Books.
In addition to his teatise on
"Corporations" Mr. Cook was also
the author of "The Power and Re-
sponsibility of the American Bar,"
published in 1922, "Principles of
Corporation Law," published in
1924, and "American Institutions
and Their Preservation," issued in
1927.
Although he had been ill for sev-
eral years, Mr. Cook was not
thought to be in danger until sev-
eral days ago.
One of the most interesting side-
lights on the life of the deceased
was the fact that he never saw
either of his two building dona-.
tions on the campus, the Lawyers'
I club and Martha Cook dormitory.
According to Dr. Frank E. Robbins,
Assistant to the President, Mr.
Cook had not been a visitor in
Ann Arbor in several decades, al-
though he was constantly in com-
munication with the officials of
the University through his num-
erous donations.
