. Violet H e m i n g, distinguished,
New York star, arrived here early
yesterday afternoon from Chicago,
where she has been rehearsing for
the dramatic season, in which she
is to co-star with Tom Powers, now
playing in the Theatre guild pro-
duction of "He." She remained a
short time before going on to De-
troit for the week-end.
"For' the last week," Miss Heming
said, "Ihave been working with Mr.
Powers, where he is concluding his
season with the Theatre guild at
the, Blackstone theatre., We areI
both tremendously keen on the two
plays we are doing together as the
final bills of the dramatic season
here. 'Arms and the Man,' of course
is an old play for Tom Powers, as
he played Catain Bluntschli for
four months with the Theatre
guild. My part of Raina, however,
is new for me. 'Private Lives,' na-
turally, is new for both of us..
"4f course, no one in New York
can understand how Mr. Hender-
son secured the rights to do 'Pri-
vate Lives," which has been pre-
sented only in London and New
York. Miss Heming continued. "It!
is rather staggering to think that3
Ann Arbor will be the third city
in the world to see the Noel Cow-
ard comedy.
"As Mr. Powers and I have been
rehearsing the play in my hotel

suite in Chicago, it seems one of
the most delightful comedies I
have ever played. Next to Mr.
Coward himself, I can imagine no
one betters suited to the role of
Eloyt Chase int PrivateLives' than
Mr. Powers. His dry and brilliant
wit is really priceless in the part."
Miss Heming expressed the in-
bention of attending the Thursday,
night performance of "The Way of
the World," which opens tomorrow
night as the third play of the sea-
son.
"I am told," she said, "that
Blanche Yurka gave a superb per-
formance in the 'Electra.' She is,
of course, supreme in emotional
roles, but she is also extraordinary
as a comedienne. I mean it very
sincerely when I say that I regard
her as one of the most charming
friends that I have and one of the
few really great actresses on the
stage.

of the School of Music, will give its
final concert of the year at 4:15'
o'clock this afternoon in Hill audi-

He posted a $50,000 bond and was
released. There were two indict-
ments; one was returned Friday.
Another was voted March 16, but
was suppressed, They contained six
felony and two counts, of misde--
meanor, and 'alleged a Government
tax claim of $215,080.45.
The indictments marked the cul-
mination of two years of investiga-
tion under the direction of A. P.
Madden, chief of the special intelli-
gence department of the Internal
Revenue Department, during which
Madden said that more than 1,0001
persons were interviewed.
A total income of ,$1,038,654.84
during the years of 1924 to 1929,
inclusive, was charged. The Federal
agents, however, said this did not
represent Capone's income but only
the sums which could be definitely
traced.
There was no indication as to
the exact date of the gang leader's
trial, but United States Attorney
George E. Q, Johnson, who has won
a conviction against every gangster
he has tried for income tax frauds,
announced that he was ready for
the supreme test against Capone.
The indictments constituted but
one of a series of blows the Gov-
ernment has struck at Al Capone,
whose income from his liquor, vice
and gambling interests is reputed
to have reached an enormous sum.
Within a few hours after the news
of Capone's indictment became pub-
lic, Sam Guzik, one of his lieuten-
ants, was on his way to the Federal
Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan.,
to serve a sentence of a year and
a day for an income tax violation,

Beginning with a few fortunates

gradually widening into a solid ex-
odus of sad seniors, all roads, rails,
and airways out of Ann Arbor will
soon be burdened by the persons
and baggages of students bound
for all torty-eight states.
. Airplanes will carry a larger pro-
portion of those home-ward bound
than ever before, it was reported
yesterday by several lines. Low
fares, a number of which have just
been reduced, to Cleveland, Chi-
cago, and St. Louis are mainly re-
sponsible for the increased number

reau at the Union stated.

in effect on a new co-ordinated

ligious philosophy and which was
signed by 19 professors in 19 differ-
ent departments of the University.

SPAE S HIP F UEL
STAIVTION PR81OOSE
Refueling of Rocket Planes Will
Take Place 600 Miles Up
in Stratosphere.
BERLIN, June 6-(/P)-How rocket
planes, propelled beyond the strA-
osphere, or outer layer of the at-
mosphere, Could be rescued from
circling the earth indefinitely has
been worked out by enthusiastic
theorists of the propulsion motor
school.
The Verein fuer Raumschiffahrt,
or Society for Space Ship Travel, is
a natural center for such calcula-
tions and its enthusiasts contend
that to get the full effect of recoil
motors the missile or shipwould be
sent 600 miles from the earth.

At that distance centrifugal force
would balance the pull of gravity
and a machine would become, in
effect, an asteroid, going round and
round the world until kingdom
come.
It is proposed that use should be
made of this fact by establishing a
super-terrestrial fueling station,
built up of rockets separately
launched from the earth and
"hooked up" after arriving at the
asteroid level.
Each rocket unit would be shot
upward with a load of fuel, oxygen
and other service supplies, but with
just enough power to reach the
00-mile level.
