Beer East Of Division Street
Tomorrow night the Ann Arbor Common Council will
receive the long-awaited report of the bond and license com-
mittee on the beer applications of East Side merchants.
In arguing against East Side beer it has been held that
the people do not want it. The people may be divided into
three groups:
1. The Merchants-They are faced with a drastic
loss in business unless granted licenses.
2. The Students-A majority of this body want
beer. Although they are not legal residents of the city,
they live here nine months of the year and their wishes
should be considered in city actions. The University, in.
cidentally, exists chiefly for them, and they may surely
be expected to have its best interests at heart.
3. The Residents of the East Side-No resident of
this section has appeared before the council to protest the
sale of beer east of Division Street, excepting members of
the council, and no resident has made any public state-
ment opposing such sale. Influential faculty members
have expressed themselves in favor of beer.
The councilmen who oppose beer at first bolstered their
arguments with the contention that East Side beer would be
unconstitutional. There is no reason to believe they were in-
sincere in advancing this argument, but it now appears they
were misguided. For there seems to be adequate guarantee
that the licenses may legally be granted.
With these considerations in mind, we ask the council to
pass favorably upon the applications of the East Side estab-
lishments which conform to the State law.

The fortieth annual May Festival
came to a close last night as a ca-
pacity crowd of 5,000 music patrons
thronged Hill Auditorium to witness
the world premiere of Howard Han-
son's opera "Merry Mount."
The liberal support of the festival,
which is famous throughout the
United States, succeeded in main-
taining the high standard which has
been created in the past. The festival
is one of the few outstanding musical
events that has weathered the storm
of the depression without drastic cur-
tailment of musical offerings.
Critics Well Pleased
Music critics in the audience were
well pleased with the native opera. It
is unique in being entirely American
in text as well as in its music forms.
"Merry Mount," which was allowed
to have its premiere here by the Met-
ropolitan Opera Company, will re-
ceve.its New York showing next sea-
son. No announcement of cast has
yet been made but John Charles
Thomas, who starred in the opening
last night, may possibly sing the
same role in New York.
Opera stars of the first rank sang
the ,principal parts and the Univer-
sity Choral Union and the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra participated
last night under the direction of the
composer. Thomas, in the role of
Wrestling Bradford, the young pastor
of the village, and Leonora Corona,
as Lady Marigold Sandys sang the
leading roles.
Rose Bampton in the roles of D-
sire Annable and of Plentiful Tewke,
the girl to whom Bradford was en-
gaged to niarry, was a favorite of the
audience. Chase Baromeo as Plen-
tiful's father gave his characteristic-
ally good performance.
Frederick Jagel's striking tenor
part of Sir Gower Lackland, lover of
Lady Marigold, was enthusiastically
received by the audience. George
Galvani, well' known in Detroit,
gained hearty applause as Jewel
Scrooby, a parson.
Scene Is New England
The scene of the opera is laid in a
Puritan village in New England in
May, 1625. The young pastor, Wres-
tling Bradford, sells his soul to Lu-
cifer to gain the love of a beautiful
woman, Lady Marigold. He kills her
lover and then calls down "tempest,
thunderstorm,pestilential f e v er s,
earthquakes and war" upon New
England in a terrible curse.
He awakes as from a horrible
dream to find the village in flames
as a result of an Indian attack. He
leads the villagers in beating back
the Indians but realizes the horrible
curse he has brought upon them. In
a wild frenzy Bradford admits he is
an agent of the Devil. He summons
the flames from the ashes of the
church and stalks into them.

Observers Believe That

Part Payments Of All
PARIS, May 20.-()-Default in
the French debt payment to the
United States due June 15 was con-
sidered certain today in quarters
close to the Government, where it
was expected that the other debtor
nations would do likewise.
Premier Edouard Daladier, it was
understood, is convinced that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will continue to insist
that France must take the first step
to pay the defaulted interest due last
December, while the Premier is sat-
isfied that Parliament will refuse to
pay either interest or principle, since
hope of a moratorium has been aban-
doned.
There was much discussion and
concern in the parliamentary lobbies,
as the payment date for $4,738,999 is
drawing near. Informed quarters pre-
dicted that Mr. Roosevelt would make
a general statement in the event of
default in an- attempt to prevent it
from seriously affecting the World
Economic Conference.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-UP)-
Predictions from Paris of a default
by France on its June 15 war debts
installment brought no response
today from President Roosevelt, who
is understood to be standing pat for
some kind of payments by the debtors
on that date.
Mr. Roosevelt is dealing separately
and individually with the European
debtors. There is every indication
that he is insisting upon payments
on June 15, at least partially.
Some relief for the debtors has
been provided by the allowance for
payments in silver.
At least these payments are ex-
pected, and they will afford a con-
siderable discount to the debtors in
their June 15 installments.
Meanwhile, it is apparent that ne-
gotiations are still in process between:
the President and the representatives
of the European nations on the sub-
ject of a debts settlement.
Mr. Roosevelt and C. M. W.
Sprague, financial advisor to the
Bank of England, today held a con-
ference to which significance was at-
tached in view of international ef-
forts underway toward currency
stabilization.

Harriman Tries
To End Life In
New York Inn
Aged Banker Discovered
After 24-Hour Search;
Believe He Will Live
MINEOLA, L. I., May 20.-(A')--
Joseph Harriman, indicted banker
who was found at Roslyn after a 24
hours disappearance, stabbed himself
above the heart today when police
left him alone in his room for a few
moments. He was removed to a hos-
pital here.
Police said the wound was deep,
but it was believed the aged banker
would recover.
ROSLYN, N. Y., May 20.-OP)-
Joseph W. Harriman, indicted banker
who disappeared from a New York
City private hospital yesterday, was
located here today in a hotel where
indications Were found that he had
intended to commit suicide.
Harriman, former chairman of the
Harriman National Bank & Trust
Co. who is scheduled for trial on
Monday for alleged large falsifica-
tions of the accounts of his bank,
was found in the Old Orchard Inn,
where he was registered as "Mr.
Thomas, of New York."
He was in bed when Inspector
Harold King, of the Nassau County
Police entered. He denied that he'
was Harriman, but identification was
made by initials on his clothes and
in his hat band and by a note found
on the floor listing the names of his
relatives and his lawyer and asking
that they "be informed."j
Harriman's only son, Alan, was
killed near here in 1928 in an auto-
mobile accident and is buried at the
nearby Long Island village of Locust
Valley.
Inspector King learned from hotel
employees that Harriman arrived
here in a New York taxicab last eve-
ning after making a stop first in
Locust Valley.

Detroit Cops 1Iiay
Not Drink On Dity,
IChief's (order Says
DETROIT, May 20.-P)--Because
policemen in less than one week re-
lapsed into the quaint old-fashioned
habit of dropping in to see the bar-
maids on the beat an order is going
to go through prohibition "cops"
from drinking beer while in uniform.
"It is like being between the devil
and the deep," James E. McCarty,
deputy superintendent, said Satur-
day. "But the officers weren't dis-
creet. It has to be done." He dele-
gated Inspector Charles Rhodes to
draft a change in the regulations
forbidding policemen to drink while
on duty.
"Of course," he explained, "this is
going to make it difficult. When can
a policeman go to eat where they
don't serve beer? They can eat in
restaurants all right, but they
mustn't drink beer."
It appears that several complaints
were made to police officials that the
policemen were clustered so thick in
some beer places that Joseph Aver-
age Citizen could not get much serv-
ice. Several people called up and
said "it didn't look nice to see a
policeman coming out of a place
wiping foam off his mouth."

Michigan scored 60%/2 points in re-

history of the meet, but without the

landed second with 47. He con

yard high hurdles and the broad
jump, for the greatest individual pe=
formance since Carl Johnson scorel
20 points for Michigan in 1918.
Indiana's brilliant individuals per-
formed heroically, winning eight of
the 16 championships. The Hoosiers
placed in all events, while Michigan,
which won but two individual trips
to the stand, where Miss Jean Hock,
Northwestern U n i ve r s i t y ' s May
Queen, gave the winners their
awards, took points in 13 numbers'
Illinois Ends Third
Illinois was third with 42/ points,
and Ohio State had 34 for fourth.
Purdue collected 19 points and North-
westernhad 161/, Chicago amd I wa
scored six points each. Wisconsin
had five and Minnesota four.
Jack Keller, brilliant hurdler from,
Ohio State, accomplished the only
serious record attempt of the meetl
Urged to the limit by Ward in the
120-yard highs, Keller sped over the
distance in :14.1, bettering the ac-
cepted world record of 14.2 seconds,
and equalling the national collegiate
mark set a year ago by the lat6
George Sahling, of Iowa. Sahling's
mark will be offered for approval
and the officials announced that Kel-
ler's performance merited consider-
ation as a world record.
Four other records were altered,
all of them of somewhat synthetic
nature. Ivan Fuqua, Indiana's speed,
ster, bettered the Conference mark
for a quarter-mile around two turns,
and came right back to nick a tenth;
of a second off the mark for 220-
yards around one turn. He raced the
quarter in :48.6, a tenth of a second
better than the 48.7 made by Edwin
Russell of Michigan, in 1931, and
shaded Archie Hahn's 1903 record
in the furlong.
Keller Lowers Record
Keller also lowered the 220-yard
low hurdles mark- again, with the
"around one turn" clause. He easily
outfooted and outpointed Hawley
Egleston of Michigan in :23.5 sec-
onds, three-tenths of a second better
than the record set by Charles
Brookins, of Iowa, in 1924.
Duane Purvis, one of Purdue's foot-
ball stars,, set the other new Confer-
ence record in yesterday's trials. He
heaved the javelin 208 feet 5 1-4
inches, to erase the 207 feet, 7 3-4
inches set by Phil Northrup of Michi-
gan. Purvis was over 200 feet today,
but failed to' improve his earlier ef-
fort.
Ward's magnificent work almost
smothered grand individual perfor-
mances by three other stars. Keller
took both hurdles, and Fuqua gave

Indiana victories in the 220-ygrd
dash and the 440-yard run. Fuqua's
equally talented teammate, Charles
Hornbostel, won the half-mile in 1:
54.4, setting up something like a rec-
ord for double winners in the meet.
Indiana won some consolation in
dethroning Michigan as mile relay
champion. The Michigan team led for
2 legs, but Hornbostel gave the lead
to the Hoosiers on the third lap, and
they relinquished it only for a sec-
ond, when Fuqua was fouled on the
anchor trick.
