Of prime importance in this regard has been a series of air pho- tographs, fitted together in a mo- saic to include the area of the whole complex. The camera has been able to distinguish and record the main features of the structure of the city, especially its upper-or later, phases. "These features comprise the outline of the city walls, the sys- tem of streets and blocks, and, to a certain extent, the outline of monumental structures. The out- lines are for the most part invisible to the naked eye." Seleucia was founded between 310 and 300 B. C., by Seleucus Nic- ator, officer and favorite of Alex-! ander the Great, on the site of the' more ancient city of Opis. Seleucia was the first capital of the empire bequeathed to Seleucus at Alex-. ander's death. The city flourished for some 500 (Continued on Page 6.)

EXPECT FIGHT BY WETS Administration Leaders Scoff at Report That Curtis Will Be Replaced by 'liberal.' 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. Run' Made on Play AssociatdS Press Paoto '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. Basketball Championship Semi-Finals CLASS A.

IIN TALK BEFOR ESEMBLY, 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, Meetings of the Academy will conclude today, with discus- sions scheduled in the various divisions. Officers for the en- suing year will also be elected today. .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- (Continued on ]Page 6.) gravest concern."

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.
