EXPECTED OPPOSITION
Capital Thinks Chief Executive
May Take Hand in Contest
Tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, May 28. -- (/P) -
The Senate today swept nearer a
vote on the explosive sales tax issue
with the result admittedly doubtful.
While both opponents and pro-
ponents claimed to hold a slight
majority, those opposing centered
their arguments upon a demand
for President Hoover to show his
position toward the tax.
The capital heard reoprts that
the chief executive would take a
hand in the contest with a state-
m ent Monday.
The House idled over the week-
end as it will on Monday, Memorial
day, while the Senate meets, but
Speaker Garner pressed forward
witi his unemploymentrelief plan.
Texan Prepared.
Snapping back with a biting
statement at President Hoover's
denunciation of his proposal in-
volving a bond issue for public
works construction, the Texas dem-
ocrat whipped details into shape
before his appearance today before
the Ways and Means committee.
In a vigorous reply to the Presi-
dent's charge that the public works
part of the Speaker's two-billion-
dollar bill was "pork barrel" legis-
lation, Gamer asserted that the
same appelation might be applied
to the Reconstruction Corporation
for which non-partisan support
was elected by Mr. Hoover.
The Texan said the tax he pro-
posed on gasoline would prevent
the work from interfering with
balancing the budget.
Opposition Expected.
"President- oover's opposition to
the bill to relieve destitution, to
broaden the lending powers of the
Reconstruction Finane corpora-
tion and to create employment by
authorizing an dexpediting a public
works program was not unexpect-
ed,".Garner said.
"The Democrats did not expect to
receive real co-operation from the
President in any matter benefiting
the masses and those who might be
termed the middle class of Amer-
ican people."
Garner said the Reconstruction
Finance corporation act, sponsored
by the President, could logically be
referred to as a "pork barrel" for
the banks, insurance companies,
railroads and financial institutions,
if the appelation were applied to
his public works program.

Reduced Account in Preparation;
Regents to Act on Matter
at June Meeting.
A budget adjustment for the Uni-
versity hospital, comparable to the
adjustment already effected by the
Tniversity in general, exclusive of
the hospital, is now in preparation.
according to Dr. Frank E. Robbins,
assistant to the president of the
University.
"The hospital budget has not yet
been considered by the regents,"
stated Dr. Robbins. "It is still in the
process of preparation and in all
likelihood will be presented to the
Regents for adoption on June 17,
after it has been adjusted in a
manner comparable to the adjust-
ment already effected by the budget
adopted F riday.
The budget approved by the re-
gents on Friday provided a total
cut of approximately 11 per cent,
and reductions in salaries of the I
faculty men ranging from six to ten
per cent, depending on the amount
of the individual's salary.

CHICAGO GETS IVE

BEATS WLVES, -3'
Maroon Nine Scores Four Runs
in First Eight Innings
Without a Hit.
WISTERT LOSES FORM
Five Michigan Errors Prominent
in Scoring; Petoskey !
Stars at Bat.r
by Roland L. Martin
Michigan's southpaw jinx, which
was temporarily lifted on Wednes-
day, again descended on the Wolv-
erines yesterday in the person of
Lefty Henshaw, star hurler of Uni-
versity of Chica'go, and the Maize
and Blue nine were forced to ac-
cept defeat, 5 to 3.
Although the Michigan hitters
were able to gather eight hits o
the delivery of the Maroon left-
hander, the hoodoo infected the
fielders with the result that five
misplays were committed, allowing
four of the five Chicago runs, just
one more than the entire total of
the Wolves. None of the four runs
were aided by hits, as Chicago did
not connect with a safe blow until
the ninth, when Tompkins allowed
two singles and one run.
Whitey Wistert, the giant right-
hander, started on the mound for
Michigan. After an auspicious start
in the first inning, in which he
struck out Buzzell, the first batter

will be found o page 3.
to face him, and forced Lynch and
Page to ground out to Waterbor,
Wistert ran into considerable trou-
ble in the second, which was in
no way aided by Waterbor's two
errors.
Temple started the inning by lay-
ing down a roller to Wistert, the
pitcher tossing him out easily.
Offill hit to Waterbor and was safe
on first when Waterbor messed up
the grounder. Mahoney struck out,
but Wistert walked Johnson and
then proceded to hit Howard with
a pitched ball. With bases loaded,
Henshaw rapped to Waterbor who
again fumbled, allowing both run-
ners to score. Buzzell struck out
ending the inning.
In the next inning, Page walked
and promptly stole second. With
Lynch up, Wistert threw to second
to trap Page, but his throw was
wide and Page took third. Lynch
hit to Daniels, who threw him out
at first, Page holding third. Temple
was safe at first when Manuel
elected to try for the plate at home
on his roller, but the throw was in
the dirt at the left of the plate,
Page bringing in the third Maroon
run without a hit.
After this misplay, Wistert blew
up, walking the next two batters
before being lifted in favor of Har-
ley McNeal. Wistert took right field
for Michigan, Petoskey moving to
center, and Ferguson going to the
bench.
Temple Ends Scoring.
Johnson, the first man to face
McNeal, slapped a hard one at
Daniels, who threw him out at first,
Temple scoring the fourth Chicago
run without a single safe blow.
Howard ended the spree by rolling
out, Waterbor. to Manuel.
Michigan's scoring came in the
first and sixth innings. In the open-
ing frame, after Superko had been
struck out, Henshaw winged Water-
bor with a fast one. Braendle then
walked, after which Petoskey hit
a long triple to left center, scoring
both of the runners. Petoskey was
left when Diffley flied to left and
Daniels popped to Mahoney at
second.
In the sixth after Daniels had
again popped to Mahoney, Wistert
slapped out a double, went to third
on a wild pitch, and scored on
Manuel's second single of the game.
McNeal sacrificed the first baseman
to second, but he was left along
with Superko who had walked,
when Waterbor rolled out to the
box.
Maroons Hit Two.
Chicago got its only hits in the
ninth and made the fifth run
against the hurling of Tompkins,
who relieved McNeal at the start
of the eighth. Mahoney singled,
went to second on a sacrifice by
Johnson, and scored on Howard's]
single through Daniels.
Michigan had a chance to score
in its half of the ninth when Braen-
dle walked after both Superko and1
Waterbor had flied out. Petoskey
was un. but the best he could doI

Those who believ in the super-
natural avoid pro ing about the
Marion Cemetery at night. Those
of a scientific turn of mind scoff
but differ in their explanations.
A 5,200-pound polished granite
ball which revolves on its base of
its own accord is the cause of spec-
ulation. The sphere, part of a mon-
ument erected in 1896, is a yard in
diameter and never was fixed firm-
ly in its stone base.
Sometimes the ball rotates as
much as a1 inch in a month.
A geologist has suggested that
the ball becoines more heated dur-
ing the day than its base and that
expansion and contraction result in
"creeping."
Builders of the monument say
mineral deposits within the ball
have so displaced its center of
gravity that it moves.
Another suggestion is that the
sphere may be lengthening its cir-
c(umerence on one side, resulting in.
pull between ball and base.

Prosecutor Postpones Hearing
on Plea of W. C. Pender,
Defense Counsel.
FLEMINGTON, N.J., May 28.---(/P)
-John Hughes Curtis, of Norfolk,
will go on trial the week of June
27 for hoaxing the Lindbergis and
police seeking the kidnappers-mur-
derers of their baby son.
Prosecutor Anthony Hauck made
this announcement aLfter indict-
ments were handed down today by
the grand jury which heard the
Curtis case Thursday.
Indictments Made-
Three indictments were present-
ed to Justice Thomas Prenchard by
the foreman of the grand jury.
Because only three cases had been
considered by the jury and be-
cause of Hauck's statement as to
the trial date and further an-
nouncement by him that Curtis
would be arraigned for pleading
next Saturday, it was taken for
granted that one of the indict-
fuents named Curtis.
Hauck had planned to begin the
Curtis trial on June 13 but he post-
poned it today on receipt of a tele-
gram from W. C. Pender, who will
defend Curtis, saying he could not
be ready to proceed so early.
Curtis Begins March 1.
Curtis began imaginary negotia-
tions with the kidnappers of the
baby soon after the child was stol-
en on March 1. He obtained Col.
Lindbergh's authority to proc'eed
with his activities only after he was
vouched for by the Very Rev. H.
Sobson-Peacock and Rear Admiral
Guy Burrage, retired, prominent
Norfolk citizens long acquainted
with the Lindberghs.
When the baby's body was found
on May 12 the Colonel was at sea
following a fake clue furnished by
Curtis.

Friday night in an attempt to end
her life, Dorothy Swaffer, 19 Vas-
sar, Mich., was in a serious condi-

West. Recovering for a short time,
she told police that she had taken
poison on Friday night and had
been lying in the field for 12 hours
when she was discovered.
Although she gave the officers
her name and address, Miss Swaf-
fer refused to explain her attempt-
ed suicide. Police have been unable
to locate her parents in Vassar
Hospital authorities said the girl's
condition was grave, but that she
was resting easily.

MEAT PACK!NG I C
Edward F. Swift Falls to Death
From Window in Gold
Coast Home.
CHICAGO, May 28.- -(P)-Edward
F. Swift, head of one of the first
families of Chicago and chairman
of the great packing house his
father built, dropped six stories to
instant death today from a window
of his Gold Coast apartment home.
A coroner's jury late today de-
cided that the fall was accidental.
He was 68 years old, second son
of the late Gustavus Franklin Swift,
Massachusetts packer who came
west to make Chicago the capital
of the meat packing industry.
Only the family chauffeur, seated
at the rear of the North State street
apartment building, where a num-
ber of the leading families of the
city reside, witnessed the headlong
plunge.
Only a wide-open window in the
living room, the curtains thrown up
and ruffled, told whence he had
fallen.
S"He was always insisting on fresh
air," said Philip, a son. "None of
the windows in the room had been
opened." He thought his father,
thrusting up the sash, had leaned
over the eight-inch brass guard
rail and fallen. There was no screen
on the window.

Fied W. Luehring, chairman of
the swimming rules committee
of the association.
The championships will be

With the Conference baseball
championship already won by In-
diana, Michigan has no chance to

cenotes on the Yucatan peninsula.)
Members of the expedition are
Dr. Edwin P. Creaser, zologist, and

the University faculty, and Prof.
A. S. Pearse and F. G. Hall, Duke

sphere, obtained their water supply,
since there is no surface drainage
in Yucatan.
Comparisons of plants and ani-

probably be used to determine the
extent of underground circulation.
Studies will be made concerning
the adaptations in species trapped
in isolated cenotes for long periods
of time which should have imnort-
-enotes, and many which still have
their limestone roofs.
Studies will be made to determine
whether there are plants and ani-
mals in the cenotes found nowhere
else; concerning similarities and
Jifferences between living things
found in different cenotes how ani-
mals reached their present abodes
in the great wells, and how they
