a certain extent, the outline of

Participants in Fraud
Known, Council States
Definite proof that the investi-
gation of the Student Council
into its recent elections fraud will
turn into concrete action came
last night with the announce-
ment that several men at the
polling places were known as
those who distributed more than
25 ballots sub rosa to candidates
and other non-council members
during the elections Wednesday.-
Evidence has been substantiated
by partial confession on the part
of a few of those involved, and
their names will be reported to
the Council at itsbnext neeting,
to be held early next week, it was
stated last night.
It was also intimatel that
those confessing parts in she bal-
lot stuffing would be pheed on
"political probation," and in the
case of candidates, would neces-
sarily be withdrawn fr'm the
run-off election to be hdd next,

Report That Curtis Will Be

WASHINGTON, March 18.-(P)- -
Prohibition continued to stir on
capitol hill today in the wake of
quotations attributed to Secretary
Hurley in Chicago last night that
the Republican national convention
in June would adopt a "more lib-
eral" attitude tov/ard the liquor
question.
HUDSON AND BRIDE OF A YEAR
Taking cognizance of this, the
secretary of war tonight issued the
following statement:
"When I want to speak in quo-
tations, the words will be mine and
not what someone else supposes I
have said. I did not mention pro-
hibition in my address in Chicago
nor did I mention it anywhere else
for publication."
Cite Interview.I
Hurley was quoted as telling an
interviewer, "A great many people
are going to look for the wet can-
didates on the ballots next Novem-
ber" and "eventually I think the
prohibition question will be settledI
on the basis of states' rights."
Republican dry leaders at the
capitol e x p e c t anti-prohibition
delegations to make a fight at Chi-
cago for a wet plank in the na-
tional platform, probably with
greater vigor than ever before, but
they doubt it will succeed.
Sen. Borah today stood by his
previous prophecy that this plank
would be similar to the rigid en-
forcement party declaration of four.
years ago.
Sen. Smoot of Utah elected to.
stay out of the pre-convention pro-
hibition dispute, but he and Borah,
both strict drys, will have consider-
able influence in the convention's
resolutions committee if they go to
Chicago in the same capacities
they held in 1928.
Drys Are Confident.
Generally, the dry party leaders
said they would dominate the sit-
uation unless something unforeseen
happens meantime.
With the revival of the wet talk
has come a report that some mem-
bers of the national committee feel
Vice-President Curtis should be
supplanted as a running mate for
President Hoover by a man with
more "liberal" views on prohibition
to attract the eastern vote. Admin-
istration leaders took no stock in
this report.

'31 Football Captain Busse Orchestra
Married Since Entertains Co-ed
Feb. 1931.
Martin Roy Hudson, last year's
Michigan football captain, and
Mary Niffenegger were secretly
married February 14, 1931, at Bowl-
ing Green, Ohio, The Daily learn-
ed yesterday.
Probate Judge B. O. Bistline, of
Bowling Green, told The Daily that
he had issued a license to Martin
Hudson and Mary Niffenegger, and
that the couple had then been mar-
ried by Squire Charles R. Nearing
the day following the J-Hop.
Hudson registered as a student
from McDonald, Pa., while Miss
Niffenegger registered as a student
from Des Moines, Ia., probably to
avoid publicity. Hudson was also
better known as "Roy" to newspa-
permen. He used only his first
name in applying for the license,
probably to avoid publicity.
The engagement of the couple
was announced shortly after the
close of the football season last fall,
but several close friends knew
about the previous marriage cere-
mony.
Hudson, who was a senior, left
school at the close of the first se-
mester this year to play baseball
with the Cleveland Indians. A t
present he has been sent to the To-
ledo Mudhens in the American As-
sociation, a team owned by the In-
dians.
Hudson, while in school, wasj
prominent in athletics. During his
freshman year, he was awarded the
Chicago trophy as the freshman
making the most progress in spring
practice. He won three letters in
football, two in baseball, and was
elected captain for this year. Dur-
ing his sophomore and junior years
he was awarded reserve letters in
basketball but left the squad in the
middle of this season.

HINSOALE. IIN TALK

PRASESTECUMSEH,
Archaeologist Says Indian Chief
Deserves Place With Joan
of Arc and Gandhi.
HAD GREAT AMBITIONS
Chief Agreed to British Alliance
as Last Resort, Slain at
Battle of Thames.
Tecumseh, Shawnee chief who
organized Indians in the North-
west Territory in the last forlorn
effort to stem the conquest of this
egion by white men, should be ac-
,orded equal veneration with Joan
>f Arc, Ghandi, and other inspired
eaders of oppressed peoples, in the
apinion of Dr. Wilbert B. Hinsdale,
custodian of Michigan archaeology
at the University.
In the presidential address last
night at the annual banquet of the
Michigan Academy of Science, Arts
and Letters, which was held in the
Union, Dr. H i n s d a le declared
that although Tecumseh failed to
accomplish his aims, "to him who
contemplates humanity i n i t s
wholeness from Cro-Magnon to
people of today, and discerns the
marks of ability though hampered
'y the shadows of stone-age cul-
ture, there is a serious interest at-
,ached to his career."
Described as Man of 'Energy'.
Dr. Hinsdale described Tecumseh
is a man of great energy and elo-
quence who "fought to vindicate
she powers of life made manifest in
ill things, and to drive a foreign
.lost, of a different race, from the
lomain of his people." Tecumseh,
oelieving *that there still remained
i last opportunity to, defeat the
xhites and drive them back across
,.he Alleghanies, began to gather
he tribes at Tippecanoe. But while
Iecumseh was absent in the south,

sions scheduled in the various
divisions. Officers for the en-
suing year will also be elected

.is brother, Tenskwatwa, "t h e
Shawnee prophet," allowed the In-
fians to be drawn into a battle
with troops under Gen. William
Henry Harrison. The Indians were
defeated at the battle of Tippeca-
noe, Nov. 7, 1811.
As a last resort, Tecumeh agreed
to an alliance with the English and
was slain at the battle of the
Thames.
"His human resources were very
feeble," said Dr. Hinsdale. "He
could make no alliances with any
one whom he could trust. He knew
full well, after casting his lot with
Proctor, that should they be suc-
cessful, eventually, h i s English
friends would turn and rend him."
"Tecumseh," Dr. Hinsdale said,
Successes Encouraged Him.
"had been through the turmoils of
the frontier all his life with vary-
ing successes and failures, but there
had been enough successes among
them all to encourage him in per-
sistent effort until the last act of
his life's drama closed with his
death.
"Like many another hero, he fail
ed to see that the Master of Life of
the white people and the powers of
the unseen world of his own peo-
ple always fought upon the side of
the better soldiers, the more skil-
ful leader, and the superior mili-
tary strategy.
"Whether Tecumseh regarded
himself a chosen messenger direct
from the spirit realm is questioned
y some," Dr. Hinsdale said, "but
it is no doubt true he was in sym-

HOPEWELL, N. J., March 18.-(P)
-While state police and city detec-
tives were wearily tracking down
every vague tip that cropped up in
the seventeen-day-old Lindbergh
kidnapping case, there were indi-
cations tonight that Col. Lindbergh
himself is still pinning a hope on
the activity of his confidential
agents.
In his closely-guarded home fre-
quent conferences have been held
this week between Col. Henry
Lance from the estate, but he re-
curns at least daily to make re-
ports.
These facts were learned tonight
as a fresh batch of clews seemed to
be leading the official investigators
where all others have led - into
blind alleys.
After police in Pocatella, Idaho.,
had quoted a burglary suspect as
saying he drove the kidnapping car,
and after a Newark, N. J., police
official had questioned the man by
