Library Tuesday,
Songs To Be Led
By Men's Glee Club
Revival Draws Approval
From Dean Bursley And
T. HawleyTapping
Senior Sing, the traditional event
of the close of the school year, which
was discontinued in 1931, will be re-
vived at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in front of
the General Library, according to
Bernard E. Konopka, '34, in charge
of arrangements.
The Varsity Glee Club will lead
the' songs which will include most
of Michigan's favorites, both old and
new. An attempt will be made to re-
vive some of the Senior Sing favor-
ites which were popular in the '90's.
Programs, which will contain the
words of all the songs that will be
rendered, will be distributed before
the opening number. The purpose
of the Sing is to allow the audience to
participate in the singing.
The committee in charge of ar-
rangements of the Sing is made up
of Bernard E. Konopka, '34, chair-
man, Gilbert E. Bursley, '34, and
Warren H. Mayo, '34.
Konopka, who participated in the
last sing of 1931 as a member of the
gle club, said that the event three
years ago attracted a very large
crowd, which he hoped would be
equaled this year. 'He added that the
entire audience, seated on the library
steps, joined in the choruses "with
gusto," and that "everyone had a
swell time."
The idea for the revival of the
Sing after a lapse of two years, he
declared, was discussed a number of
weeks ago by a few students and
members of the faculty. The Varsity
Glee Club and the Undergraduate
Council were asked to co-operate, and
plans for the rejuvination took form,
Konopka declared.
Dean Joseph E. Bursley and T.
Hawley Tapping, general secretary of
the Alumni Association, were present
when the idea was first brought up,
and both declared themselves hearti-
ly in favor of a revival of the Sing,
Konopka declared. Dean Bursley de-
clared that the Sing once had a defi-
nite place in the events of the cani-
pus, and there was no reason why
it should not be restored, Konopka
said..
Selections that are included on
the program for Tuesday night's Sing
include: "Goddess of the Inland Sea,"
which was at the height of its popu-
larity in 1900, "Yellow and Blue,"
and "Varsity."

Continue Talks
For Students
Rev. Orr Of Albany Will
Speak At St. Andrews
- EpiscopalChurch
The Rev. Frederick B. Fisher will
deliver the third of his series of talks
on modern mn and their philoso-
phies at the 10:45 a.m. service of the
First Methodist Episcopal church to-
day. His subject will be, "Nietzsche
Reproaches Christ." Capacity audi-
ences for the past services indicate
that there is a lively interest in these
addresses which are prepared es-
pecially for students.
Prof. Arthur E. Wood will speak
at 6 p.m. at Stalker hall on "Sociol-
ogy's Function in Religion." There
will be a general discussion follow-
ing the talk in which students are

invited to take part.
The Baptist Church of Ann Arbor
will have Mr. Kermit Eby speak at
6 p.m. on "Japan." Mr. Eby is a
teacher of history at Ann Arbor High
School. Those who will attend are
asked to bring questions. At the
10:45 a.m. service Mr. Sayles will
speak on "The Lord is My Shepherd."
The Rev. William D. Orr will give
the 10:45 a.m. address at St. An-
drews Episcopal church today. Rev.
Orr is from St. Paul's church in Al-

sented to the outstanding member
of senior rating in Sigma Rho Tau,
engineer stump speakers' society, at
the Tung Oil Banquet to be held
Thursday evening, May 24,bat the
Union .
Few trophies on the Michigan cam-
pus can boast so rich a background
of history and tradition as that of
the rare old cape which Dean-Emeri-
tus Mortimer E. Cooley presented to
the stump speaker's society of Sigma
Rho Tau. The cane dates back from
the very early days of the college
when an old picket fence with a cow-
proof gate-way of staggered posts
guarded the sacred grounds of learn-
ing from wandering cattle.
As the University grew and the en-
rollment increased the cattle receded.
The pioneers of the buildings and
grounds department removed the
picket fence. Some discerning soul!
with a keen sense of values had two
or three choice bits of the fence made
up into canes. In 1887 one of the
favored few to receive one of these
canes was Mortimer E. Cooley, then
professor of mechanical engineering.

favorite and trusty companion on his
walks and shared his closest confi-
dences. It always accompanied him
on his speaking tours throughout the
United States. Dean Cooley made
over 800 speeches in one campaign,
and who knows what secrets of grave
political importance, of naval war-
fare, and of student life, this old cane
may share?
When Dean Cooley became a mem-
ber of Sigma Rho Tau he presented
the cane to the society. Every spring
at the Tung Oil Banquet the cane is
presented to the outstanding junior
to be carried by him throughout his
senior year. This member of senior
standing must have accomplished the
most noteworthy achievement in the
work of the stump speaker's society.
To be noteworthy the member must
excell in story telling, speeches in en-
gineering projects, writing briefs and
arguments on subjects of interest to
engineers and architects, and prepare
and deliver eulogistic speeches on
great architects and engineers or
great achievements in their fields.

NRA Violation
Charge Denied
By Livernois
Charges that the NRA code is be-
ing violated in his market were de-
nied yesterday by Frank Livernois,
manager of the Weber and Steeb
meat market, when he declared that
in general wages were much higher'
and hours much shorter than is re-
quired under the code. He also said
that none of the men who have been
picketing the store for the past two
days were employees of the market,
and that none of his employees had!
gone on strike.
Mr. Livernois added that he is
gathering data on the situation and
will probably issue a complete state-
ment early this week.
Meanwhile members of the Amal-
gamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workers of America took turns in
marching up and down before the
store yesterday bearing a poster that
charged the market with unfairness
to organized labor and violation of
the NRA.
Strikes will be called shortly in sev-
eral other meat markets in the city
unless union demands for a $25 wage
are met, Harry A. Reifin, secretary of

Friendship Brings
ProminentI Germa n
Dermatologist Here
Dr. Franz Blumenthal, noted Euro-
pean dermatologist who will arrive
here June 2 from the University of
Berlin to take the post of professor
of dermatology, comes as a result of
his friendship of 30 years with Dr.
Udo Wile, head of the department
of dermatology.
Dr. Wile, who is also executive for
clinical departments in the Medical
School, first met Dr. Blumenthal in
1904 when they were both students in
Berlin. Throughout their years of
study at the German university, and
afterwards as members of its medical
faculty, their friendship continued.
Even when Dr. Wile came to the
University, he kept in touch with his
friend and colleague. Now, after 30
years, these widely known medical
men,,each havingrwon outstanding
recognition in their chosen field of
dermatology, are to be united here
in Ann Arbor.
Dr. Blumenthal comes by his medi-
cal ability naturally. His father was
a great German doctor before him,
and his brother, Dr. Ferdinand Blu-
menthal, now at Belgrade, is termed
by members of the medical faculty
here "the greatest cancer specialist
in the world."

CHICAGO, May 19. -() - The
city's most disastrous fire since the
conflagration of 1871 was brought
under control tonight after damage
officials estimated would run above
$10,000,000.
At 7:30 central standard time, four
and one-half hours after the fire
started, fire marshal Michael Corri-
gan said:
"The fire is definitely under control.
It was the worst one in my memory
but our battle is won now, I am con-
vinced, and some of the fire equip-
ment is being recalled to the station."
Starting, apparently, from a care-
I~ssly tossed cigarette in the pen of
the Union Stock Yard, the blaze cas-
caded through drouth-dried struc-
tures with such rapidity that within
an hour after the first alarm flames
raged uncontrolled over a territory a
mile square. The main packing plants,
however, were not damaged, the loss
being confined to other buildings in
and outside the yards proper.
Practically all the city's fire equip-
ment was rushed to the area. Fire
departments from suburbs were called
as building after building caught fire
and was consumed.
Initial surveys showed that at least
20 persons were injured, a few seri-
ously, and that one man - a fire-
man - was missing. About 15 major
buildings were destroyed and dozens
of small homes.

Bulgarian King
Gives Approval
To Revolution
Balkan Crisis Is Feared As
Armies Mobilize; Set Up
Dictatorship
SOFIA, May 19. - (/P) - The army
of Bulgaria today overthrew the Na-
tion's government, and King Boris,
approving the radical change, dis-
solved Parliament.
Whether King Boris, one of the last
of rugged individualist sovereigns,
engineered the military coup d'etat
was not immediately apparent on
the streets of the capital.
Certain it was, however, that the
Army had complete charge of the
situation.
Soldiers were everywhere. They
had rushed the barracks at the crack
of dawn, stationed themselves at ev-
ery strategic point, and 'had occu-
pied all Government buildings..
Cabinet Arrested
The public was quiet. The citizens
stayed close indoors by orders of the
Army. No rioting was reported.
The former cabinet, ousted by the
Army, was arrested and placed under
guard. A new cabinet, headed by
Kimon Gueorguieff as premier, took
office at once with the Sovereign's
approval.
It was rumored that the King had
demurred for a time at dissolving
Parliament and establishing the new
form of Government which was de-
scribed as dictatorial.
If that rumor is true, his hesita-
tion lasted only a short time, for by
noon he had signed 30 decrees of re-
organization.
It was said that he was not even
aware of the military movement un-
til troops surrounded his palace, but
there was no official indicationas t
what his knowledge of the situation
really was.
Move With Precision
The whole operation of the coup
d'etat went like clockwork. Not only
did the military move with precision
in Sofia, but it operated equally
smoothly throughout the provincial
cities.
A manifesto addressed to the Na-
tion attributed the change in gov-
ernment to a complete failure of the
system of party government.
The announcement said this situ-
ation sowed the seeds of trouble, de-
moralized the masses of the people
and hampered the normal 'function-
ing of the institution of the state.
It added that in the face of the im-
possibility of creating a stable gov-
ernment able to face the grave eco-
nomic problems, the creation of a
non-party National Government was
necessary.
BELGRADE, May 19.--(P)-Un-
confirmed rumors today said Jugoslav
troops of the Vardar and Morava di-
visions were concentrating as a re-
sult of the coup d'etat in Bulgaria.
A general mobilization of armed
forces was considered possible since
the new .Bulgarian dictatorship was
interpreted here as directed against
the anti-Jugoslav-Macedonian Revo-
lutionary Committee.
One Killed, Two
Hurt In Accidents
Three men, all more than 60 years
old, were the victims in two automo-
bile accidents last night in Wash-
tenaw Country, in which one man
was instantly killed and the other
two seriously injured.
Ernest White, 65, 1433 Harpst St.,
Pittsfield Township constable was
killed and George D. Mowerson, 72,

216 N. Fifth Ave., received- serious
hip injuries when the car in which
they were riding struck loose gravel
and overturned. The accident oc-
curred on Territorial Road, about one
mile east of Whitmore Lake Road.
The two men had been to serve legal
papers for Justice Harry Reading and
were said to have been driving at a
moderate rate of speed.
Gustave Lutz, 68, 120 W. Williams
St., became the third victim when he
was struck by an automobile driven

Nine Third Consecutive
Defeat, 7 To 6
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., May 19.-(Spe-
cial) - The University of Illinois
baseball team advanced to within a
game of the Big Ten championship
when a home run by Redy Duffner in
the last half of the ninth gave the
Illini a 7-6 victory over the Michigan
nine today. A win for Illinois in the
Northwestern game Tuesday will
clinch the title.
The loss was Michigan's third on
successive days, the Wolverines hav-
ing lost to Indiana, 10 to 9, Thurs-
day, and to Purdue, 10 to 7, yesterday.
Michigan took an early 5-2 lead
over Illinois, and Wistert seemed on
the way to duplicating his brilliant
win over the Indians of two weeks ago,
but the Illini tied the score in the
fifth, and won on Duffner's homer.
For the second straight game Mich-
igan out-hit its opponents, but lost
because of errors. In the last three
games, Michigan. has committed 16
errors.

DYCHE STADIUM, EVANSTON,
Ill., May 19. - (AP) - Packing a ter-
rific punch in the dashes and shot-
put, Illinois came back today after
five years to recapture the Western
Conference track and field champion-
ship.
In a rousing battle with Indiana's
gallant Hoosiers, the Illini gathered
45 points, 29 of them in the 100 and
220-yard dashes and the shot put.
Indiana with sparkling performances
by Charles Hornbostel and Ivan Fu-
qua, its great middle distance pair,
won second rank with 40 3-5 points,
and Michigan, the defending cham-
pion, just managed to nudge out
Northwestern for third with 28 3-5.
Northwestern had 27 1-10.
Michigan's bid for a third consecu-
tive title collapsed in a heap when
Willis Ward, the backbone of its
hopes, pulled a muscl in his left leg
in the 100-yard dash. The tall negro
star managed to stagger into fifth
place, and made a courageous ef-
fort to carry out his assignment in
the high hurdles and high jump. He
failed to clear the first hurdle in
the obstacle event, and finished in a
tie for fourth and fifth in the high
jump. His mark of 23 feet, 2% inches
in the broad jump, accomplished in
the trials yesterday, stood up for his
only victory of the meet.
Illinois' victory was its first since
1929, and its twelfth in the history of
the meet, the latter equalled Michi-
gan's record and was gained with
the lowest point total since 1920 when
another Illinois team won with 40
points.

Large Storm Area Over Planet.
Is Discovered By Astronomer,

(By Intercollegiate Press)
CLEVELAND, O., May 19.-A storm
disturbance on the planet, Jupiter,
which, it was calculated, covers an
area 20,000 miles long and 2,000 miles
wide, has been discovered by Prof.
J. J. Nassau of Case School of Ap-
plied Science.
After notifying the Harvard Uni-
versity Observatory, clearing house in
this country for astronomical infor-
mation, Prof. Nassau was informed
that the disturbance is a phenomenon
which has not occurred within the
memory of Harvard's veteran star
gazers.
The planet is only 400,000,000 miles
away, so the storm will have little

"The other night, while studying
this black spot, I noted a large white
spot on the south equatorial belt. My
assistant, Sidney McCuskey, con-
firmed what I saw. We calculated
it to be 20,000 miles long and 2,000
miles wide, a storm of uncommon size.
"There is no explanation to be ad-
vanced for the disturbance, although
it is probably related. to the black spot
phenomenon."
The professor said that a large red
spot which appeared on Jupiter in
1878 and remained for several years,
never had been explained.
Previous observation of such spots
has resulted in the computation of
