Simultaneously Premier Andre Tardieuwill present the resignation of his government with a request that it be accepted immediately. Unless unforseen political con- tingencies should arise, M. Lebrun will be formally placed in the Elysee palace to succeed the assassinated Paul Doumer.

One man was killed and about 300 firemen suffered injuries while battling the blaze. ent, Paul Painleve, former premier, withdrew his candidacy late to- night, leaving the field clear. This was in line with the stigges- tion from. the senate, where it was held that in view of the sadness of the occassion, it would be fitting that one candidate be named on a single ballot, The president of France is elected at a meeting of the senators and deputies at Versailles. It was intimated today that Pre- mier Tardieu's cabinet would re- main in office until a new Chamber of Deputies is organized on June 1, but the ministers' duties will be perfunctory only. This step of formal resignation, and yet continuance in' office, is somewhat unusual in French par- liamentary history. ST R WIL BEGIN PLAV 'flEHEARSALS1 Dean Henry M.

Bates of the Law school has been chosen in a nation wide selection as the recipient of the California Bar association's annual trust fund award which is granted for the purpose of bringing to the association's yearly meeting some outstanding student of the law to deliver the principal address.

The invitation to receive this recognition, which Dean Bates intends to accept, involves an extended trip to California next summer with all expenses paid and the delivery of a paper on some legal subject at the association's annual meeting to be held Septem- ber 29 to October 1, at San Diego. Dean Roscoe Pound of the Harv- ard Law school was the recipiest of this recognition in 1930 and Hon. James Grafton Rogers the recipient in 1931.

I Last year the University of Mich- igan acted as host at the Univer- sity Fresh Air camp at Patterson lake. Ayers. who was in charge last year, said that there were some very'tangible results. One of the most advantageous results of this conference was the arangement for exchange of pro- fessors from the colleges represent- ed to speak at discussion meetings. Two men visited the Michigan cam- pus this year, Professors S. M. Har- rison and R. G. Hall of Albion. At the conference at Ohiyesa the Michigan S.C.A. is _planning to pre-I sent a special report of the Big Ten S.C.A. conference held in Chi- cago in early April, which Ayers, Kearns, and Passmore attended.

The Council will elect the presi- dent from two men that have been nominated by the Judiciary Com- mittee of the interfraternity Coun- nil.

Charles Wood Jewett, '34, newly appointed secretary - treasurer of The Council will officially replace TT'oward Gould, '32, in this capacity at the meeting. To Vote on Deferred Rushing. The new plan o deferred rush- ing, presented at the last meeting to the representatives of the gener- al fraternities, will be voted upon for the first inme. The constitu- tion of the body provides that a change of this nature be proposed at one meeting and then passed in two consecutive mpptings by at least three-fifths of the total num- ber of houses. The proposal has been drawn up by a committee appointed from the Council by Howard T. Worden, '32, president. The committee has been co-operating with several promin- ent alumni and faculty men in composing the new system. Propose Pledging in Third Week. Economic strain would be lessen- ed, it is believed, as the plan pro- vides for deferred rushing .during orientation week, followed by only two weeks of intensive rushing. At the beginning of the third week, men will be pledge through the of- fice of the dean of students in the same manner that they were pledg- ed under the present system. If the plan is passed two times by the Council, it will go to the Ju- diciary committee for approval and will then be sent to the Senate Committee on Student Affairs. It was announced at the last meeting of the Council that a group of alumni were at present work- ing on a plan of deferred rushing and committee men stated that they believed that this group would co- operate with them in obtaining the approval of the plan.

Grover Grismore of the law school, by the Cook law foundation, t was learned last week. This task involves reading almost Al thg important cases on con- tracts that have taken place in Michigan, professor Grismore said. The American Law Institute, it was brought out, restates the law in all its branches from time to time in a way applicable to the country as a whole. Professor Grismore's work will involve taking this re- 3tatement of the Law Institute and writing a similar one for the Mich- igan courts. There is no official authority' which requires this work, nor does the legislature recognize this rein- terperation as being the official law, however, the results of such work are commonly used by lawyers as authority and carry considerable weight with judges. That the "good faith of the pros- ccution was doubtful," that evi- dence was changed and witnesses questionable, and that there was a tendency to subordinate impa'r- tial justice to political or economic ends, were the major points brought by Prof. Lowell J. Carr, sociology department, in his lecture yester- day reviewing the facts of the Tom Mooney case, which resulted in the conviction of Mooney for his part in the Preparedness Day bombing in San Francisco in 1916. Professor Carr terms the case a paradoxical one. The judge himself, two federal commissions, the ten surviving jurors, practically all the witnesses except one who has been discredited by his own letters, an assistant to th¢ dmstrtAt npv anI up charges, many of them proven to be faked and to involve bribery, to imprison Mooney for his labor agitating. After the bombing, Mooney's de- fense claims that Fickert failed to make an exhaustive inquiry, that he enlarged with crowbars the holes made by the explosion and used photographs of this as evidence, and that a detective involved in the case had sworn "to get" Mooney. The prosecution denied these.' The only witness produced by the prosecution Prof. Car pointed out, "who could swear that he had seen Billings and Mooney actually at Stewart and Market streets with a suitcase just before the explosion was John MacDonald. He is the on- in win~ienr- na- -in c -v f s I , , f s It !S A t j I L PROF. REEVES PRAISES CARDOZA IN HILLEL FOUNDATION SPEECH Box for Office Sale Opens Comic Milne Play Box office seat sale opened yes- terday at the Mendelssohn theatre for "Meet the Prince" which the Comedy club will offer starting on Thursday. According to announce- m an+m R n 1i.,. ,1 Justice Benjamin N. Cardoza was described yesterday by Prof. Jesse S. Reeves, of the political science department, as being abreast of the j ursprudential thought-of the world to a degree unparralleled by any other Supreme court justice in the history of the United States. Pro- fessor Reeves addressed an open forum in the Union conducted un- der the auspices of Hillel founda- tion on "Cardoza-The Man and the Law." The chief difference between Car- doza and Holmes, whom he has suc- ceeded, lies, according to Profes- sor Reeves, in the fact that the lat- ter's approach to law was primar- ily historical, while Cardoza's is esting to know to what extent Jus- tice Cardoza has been influenced by the manner in which he acquired his legal education, which was in- formal, he never having attended a law school. In appointing Justice Cardoza, it was pointed out, President Hoover canvassed Southwestern and North- western opinion f or suggestions, fearing that , those districts, being unrepresented on the Supreme court bench, might feel slighted if an- other Eastern appointment were made. The fact that the almost universal opinion of these regions was in favor of Cardoza was declar- ed by Professor Reeves, "certainly to eliminate all questions of par- tisanship."
