"Yost pep talks," Fielding H. Yost,
director of athletics, worked up the

DEA TH OF EDISON
IS EXPECTED SOON
WEST ORANGE, N. J., Oct. 16 .-
(P)-Every member of his immedi-
ate family and his personal physi-
cian were grouped about Thomas
A. Edison tonight as the end ap-
proached for the snowy-haired cre-
ative genius. .
In the red brick residence in the
shrubbery-studded lewelyn Park
the 84-year-old inventor lay in a
coma. His circulation was showing
signs of the strain, but Dr. Hubert
S. Howe said the quality of his pulse
was better at 8:30 p. m., than it had
been in the morning.
"I am afraid the end is near,"
said Charles Edison, a son, who
added that Dr. Howe's presence was
as "much for mother as for any
emergency" that might arise from
.his father'scondition.

the Ypsilanti torch murders.
The jury took a lite less than
one and a quarter hours to bring
in its decision. "Guilty with len-
iency" was the recommendation
made by foreman Foster. Smith,
speaking for the 11 men and one
woman who deliberated on the fate
of the reputed sweetheart of Fred
Smith.
The sentence fixed by law for the
offense is one to five years. Judge
George W. Sanple, if he pleases,
may disregard the jury's recom-
mendation. Sentence may be pass-,
ed at 9 o'clock this morning, but it
seems more likely it will be with-'
held until a report is made on the'
cause of Judge Darwin Z. Curtiss'
death.
Possibility of an appeal was fore-
seen because of the attitude of W.
D. rommon, defense attorney,
throughout the trial. Many .f his
objections were overruled, and at
one point he had testimony read
into the record, in the absence of
the. jury, which he had been for-;
bidden to introduce as testimony.
Though most of his objections
were perfunctory, they were of a
nature that an appeal might be
based upon. He has 20 days in
which too file it.
Howard Forwalder, intimate of
the torch murderers, who has been
awaiting sentence on a liquor
charge pending the completion of
the Keller trial, in which he was
a witness, was sentenced yester-
day morning while the jury was
out, to two to four years at Jack-
son prison. .
JAMES CANNON JR
W ILL STANDTRA
Grand Jury Returns Ten Counts
Carrying Possible Jail
Term and Fine.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-(/)-
Bishop James Canion, Jr., must
stand trial on charges arising from
his management of thousands of
dollars contributed to his anti-
Smith campaign of 1928.
With Miss Ada L. Burroughs
treasurer of h is "Headquarters
C o m m i t t e e, Anti-Smith Demo-
crats," in Virginia, the Southern
Methodist prelate was indicted be-
fore the District of Columbia Su-
preme Court today for conspiring
to violate the Federal Corrupt
Practices Law.
The Grand Jury returned 10
counts carrying a possible maxi-
mum penalty upon conviction of 10
years imprisonment and $50,000
fine for each defendant.
Failure to report contributions of
$65,300 from E. C. Jamesori, New
York capitalist, as required by law,
was the basis of the indictment.
Bond was fixed at $1,000 for each.
Assistant District Attorney John
Wilson said he would seek an early
trial.
From Atlanta, where he is at-
tending a meeting of bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
the churchman said:
"I am not surprised at anything
that the Roman Catholic district
attorney might do."

whom Bishop Cannon charged with
ignoring an offer to testify, de-

Prof. Jean Escarra. international+
authority on commercial law, will
deliver a lecture on "The Law of
Unfair Competition in Trade" at 4,
o'clock Monday afternoon in Room1
C of the Law building.
The lecturer comes to Ann Arbor1
from an extended engagement at
Northwestern university, where he.
has been the Julius Rosenthal
foundation lecturer for 1931. At
present he is devoting a month to'
a series of addresses before United
States and Canadian law schools+
and bar association, prior to re-"
turning to France to take up his
duties on the law faculty of the
University of Paris.
As a legal scholar of internation-
al reputation, Professor Escarra
was called to China' in 1921 to ad-'
vise that government in the codi-.
fication of the various German,
French, and native elements in
Chinese law, and also to sit on the
E x t r a-territoriality Commission
which considered the problems in
international law raised by the
foreign concessions in China. Pro-
fessor lmscarra has likewise identi-
fied himself prominently with tlti
International Conference on Com-

year in Geneva.

which he is to lecture Monday, has
b e e n Professor Escarra's special
field of research since he received
his doctorate of law from the Uni-
versity of Paris in 1907. He is the
author of numerous legal pubica-
tions in French which treat of com-
mercial usages on the continent of
Europe from the standpoint of
eomparative law, and since his ap-
pointment as legal adviser to the
Chinese government, he had added
to the list of his authorship im-
portant monographs on the Chin-
ese law of commercial goodshin-
surance, copyright, admiralty, and
family and inheritance.
Y'orktown Celebration
Opens With Dedication
YORKTOWN, Va., Oct. 16.-(P)-
The nation's four-day observance
of the battle which made its exist-
ence possible opened here today
with dedication of a monument to
the defeated British commander,
Lord Cornwallis, and the reception
of Marshall Henri Petain of France,
as high watermarks in a day of
historical events and pageantry.

was agreed.
The theme of Mr. Yost's talk was,
the keen rivalry and close friend-
ship of Michigan and Ohio State.
"Because of the 'closeness of the
schools," Mr. Yost said, "there are
nowhere in America, especially in
the Middle West, two teams so
closely allied. Nowhere are there
so many students, alumni, and
friends in the s a m e cheering
crowd."
The keenest competition between.
the old rivals has been during the
last 10 years," Mr. Yost said, "no
one can forget the dedication game
of '22, or the 17-16 game at Colum-
bus in '26. Tomorrow's game should
be one of the hardest fought games
of the Michigan-Ohio history, for
Ohio has won two out of the last
three games played."
"Wonderful pep meeting" is what
Yost said of the rally in Hill audi-
torium in an interview after the
meeting was over. "It is a great
thing to see such a large group of
students so enthusiastic over to-
morrow's football game," he stated,
"the mingling of the groups lends.
color to the picture of team rival-
ry. Ohio State has nearly as large
a school as Michigan and the loy-
alty that these two good teams in-
spire in the hearts of Michigan and
Ohio men is as helpful and as
worthy as the game its5f.''

American Liner Fails to Find-
Trace of Freighter That,
Wired 5. 0. S.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-('}-
The liner President Jefferson, an-
swering an SOS from the Japanese
freighter Yonan Maru, today wire-
lessed that no trace of the freigh-
ter had been found at the last re-
ported poisition of the Japanese
ship..
Early today the Yonan Maru,
carrying a crew of 40 to 50, report-
ed she was sinking in the stormy
north Pacific. The President Jef-
ferson reached the position the
Yonan had given at 1 p. m. (Paci-
fic Coast Time). Visibility was
poor due to rain, and high seas
were running.
Another message from the Jef-
ferson at 2:30 p. m. said the search
was still on.
. The.,Jefferson, whose passengers
included Col. and Mrs. CharlesA.
Lindbergh, radioed she would con-
tinue her search for the Japanese
ship and any lifeboats her men
may have launched.
The Maru didnot reveal the
cause of her difficulties. She was
carrying a lumber cargo to Shag-
hai, having left Portland, Ore.,
Sept. 30. She indicated she had
lost her dead load.
"We are now sinking. Come
quickly," the 7,154-ton liner radio-
ed shortly before 6 a. m. No fru-
ther message were intercepted as
far as coast radio stations could
learn late today.-
