LANSING, April 6,.-(/P)-Governor

for the so-called Michigan plan of

partly in negotiable certificates and
partly in preferred stock, when liquid
assets are insufficient to meet de-

"Unless we can do this, many

For Same Day
Samuel Seabury, former judge of
the New York State Court of Ap-
peals and special investigator of the
Hofstadter Legislative Committee,
will speak at 11 a. m. Friday, April
21, in Hill Auditorium at a special
University Convocation, it was an-
nounced yesterday by Dean Henry
M. Bates of the Law School. Mr.
Seabury's topic will be "Some Con-
ditions Prevailing in Our Munici-
palities."
Another address, "The Public Pro-
fession of the Law," will be delivered
by Mr. Seabury at the Founders Day
Banquet to be held at 7 p. m. the
same day in the Lawyers Club, Dean
Bates said. A third attraction of the
day will be the finals in the Law
School Case Club competition for
the Henry M. Campbell Award, to
be held at 2 p. m. in Hill Auditorium.
The several members of the Supreme
Court of Michigan have been invited
to attend the finals and decide the
outcome, Dean Bates added.
Practiced Law In New York
Long known as one of the most
distinguished members of the Ameri-
can bar, Mr. Seabury has, in the
estimation of Dean Bates, "rendered
what is probably the greatest serv-
ice of this generation to the cause
of good municipal government."
Mr. Seabury practiced law in New
York until elected justice of the City
Court in 1901. He became justice of
the New York Supreme Court in
'1907 for the term 1907-1920, but re-
signed in 1914 to be elected associate
judge of the Court of Appeals. He
was Democratic candidate for the
governorship of New York in 1916,
but since then has devoted the bulk
of his time to private practice.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-(/P)-The

House the Black bill providing a 30-

The measure, one of the mos?

'Dry Spell'
Of
NEW YORK, April 6.-(/P)-It was
"New Beer's Eve" tonight for more
than half the population of the
United States.
In 19 states, scattered across the
map, and in the District of Columbia
-with a combined population of
about 70,000,000-the moment after
midnight was the hour when 3.2 per
cent brew could legally be trans-
ported and sold.
Long before the hands of clocks
turned toward that position revelers
in cities from New York to faraway
Washington began gathering for
"beer balls" and "watch night
partiCs."
On all sides, as the festivities be-
gan, the note of "No untoward cele-
brations," "No rowdyism," was
sounded.
Admonition Sounded
The admonition came from offi-,
cials, from organizations, and from
the brewers themselves.
In every one of the 19 states it was
a day and night of feverish activity
for many. Brewery forces were
working at top speed, and from all
sections came reports that they
would be unable to supply the im-
mediate demand.
Licensing clerks here and in many
other cities found long lines at their
windows when they came to work-
and they grew in length throughout
the day.
Trucks and freight cars were lined
up in brewery yards, waiting the sig-
nal that would start them off with
their liquid cargoes.

Without a record vote the Senate
then rejected an amendment by Sen.

exclude skilled labor employed on a
piecemeal basis.
Black Defends His Bill
Black replied that the amendment
would make the bill inoperative, as
all labor would quickly be employed
on the piecemeal basis.
The Senate also rejected an
amendment which would have ex-
cluded all products manufactured
from farm articles of a perishable
nature.

VATICAN CITY, April 6.-(/P)-On
his knees in St. Peter's Cathedral this
afternoon, Pope Pius commemorated
the anguish of Christ 1900 years ago
in the Garden of Gethsemani.
As he knelt i~n silence, Cardinal Pa-

estry, in an interview yesterday.
As the bill stands now, it was said,
the first quota of men will be takenj
from the industrial centers of Mich-
igan, principally from Detroit. Since,
however, there are approximately
60,000 unemployed in the northern
part of the State, the section which
the bill primarily affects, the alloca-
tion of a larger proportion of men'
from the northern territory is being
advocated.
Three types of land in Michigan
will benefit by this relief measure,
according to Professor Ramsdell:I
643,000 acres of national forest lands,
1,000,000 acres of State lands or-
ganized into units such as State for-
ests, anc approximately 15,000,000

The measure further provides for
disease control, particularly, as far
as Michigan is concerned, for pre-
vention of the spread of white pine;
blister rust by the eradication of allj
species of ribes, especially wild cur-
rants and goose-berries. The bill also
provides for preventative measures
against floods; but this applies, at
present, to the Ohio valley basin and
other tributaries of the Mississippi,
rather than to any section of Mich-
igan.I
