Bulletin
Determined opposition to the
University Council plan in its
present form was expressed at
a meeting i of the literary col-
lege faculty yesterday after-
noon, according to a dispatch
in the Detroit Free Press this
morning.
The stand, it said, was based
on the proposal to curb the
legislative powers of the Uni-
versity Senate and on the pro-
posal to give administrative
officers, of the University equal
representation with the facul-
ty. The Senate will take up the
question at its meeting Mon-
day.
The Free Press states that
the meeting had expressed op-
position to curbing the Senate's
powers, but that those opposed
might accept the new plan if
considered desirable that the
literary college be given an
even larger plurality of votes
over the other schools than had
been proposed, the story says.
Under the present plan, the
Wooten Testifies.
E. A. Wooten, vice-president and
treasurer of the Michigan Broad-
tasting company operating the sta-
tion, testified that approximately
$30,000 was contributed to an un-
employment fund prior to the death
of Buckley, who inspired the cam-
paign. He was not certain as to the
disposition of the money. Wooten
said Buckley's receipts from the
station were small.
He testified that Robert Oakman
was to have paid $2,600 for the
time he took for a bitter debate
with the then Commissioner of
Public works, John Gillespie, dur-
ing the mayoralty recall campaign
last summer, but that $1,950 re-
mains unpaid. Gillespie, he said,
paid $2,707.50 for the time he took
during the campaign, with an un-
paid balance of $3,052.50.
hunt Questioned.
E. J. Hunt, president of the com-
pany, testified that he is the Detroit
representative of the Railways Util-
ities corporation. He was questioned
at length about speeches made by
Buckley attacking the municipally-
owned Detroit Street Railways.
Among the witnesses to testify
tomorow are Former Police Com-
missioner Thomas C. Wilcox, Former
Mayor Charles Bowles, Gillespie,
Oakman, and Christopher F. Coda,
foreman of the 22-man Wayne
county grand jury which investi-
gated the Buckley slaying.

FRANKFORT, Ky., May 5.-(P)-
The first detachments of approxi-
mately 325 K e n t u c k y national
guardsmen began moving into the
Harlem coal fields today, after
sheriff J. H. Blair and other county
officials asserted they could not
control disorders there.
After ordering out the troops,
Governor Flem D. Sampson de-
clared "a reign of terror has been
precipitated by some interlopers,
communists from outside the state
who have taken advantage of the
discontent resulting from unem-
ployment."
Clashes between deputies and
mine guards and opposing forces
have resulted in five deaths near
Evarts, the center of the distur-
bance. Four were killed yesterday
in a fight in which rifles and ma-
chine guns were used. Commis-
saries and stores have been robbed
and 16 unoccupied miners' houses
