No. 31 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1924 PRICE, FIVE CENTS DAWES CONFERENCE STILL DEADLOCKED ONLONSECURITY DELEGATES OBJECT TO SUBMITT- ING TO DICTATION OF BANKERS ALL MAKING EFFORT TO SETTLE DIFFICULTIES Kellogg Says Question of Securtly Need Not be Settled at Lon- don Conference London, July 25.-(By A.P.)-Al- though the inter-allied conference marked time today, there was observ- able tonight an unmistakable hard- ening in the attitudes of all the dele- gates against submitting to the dicta- tion of the international financiers in formulating a protocol to launch the Dawes plan. The French spokesman in express- ing the views of Premier Herriot, were more unyielding than ever to- ward the surrendering of any of the rights whicl France enjoyed under the treaty of Versailles. In American circles, it was stated that the Dawes plan was of such importance that it could not be jeopardized by the rela- tively unimportant disputes between the bankers and the delegates. The British continued confident that a compromise would be reached on the question of security for a Ger- man loan that will satisfy both the bankers and the French politicians. Among all the experts-observers, advisors, and delegates, there is a concerted effort to settle the difficul- ties which have beset the parleys for weeks and which at times have seemed to threaten the very existence of the conference. This afternoon, Frank D. Kellogg, the American am- bassador went so far as to say that the problem of defaults and sanctions under the Dawes plan and their rela- tion to security for the German loan would not necessarily have to be set- tled in London. This view, however, is not shared by the other delegations, where it is was said the issue the bankers have injected into the pro- ceedings is paramount, and that as soon as this is settled, the conference can consider its work completed. Despite the delays which have oc- curred, the atmosphere of the ne- gotiations is described as not pessim- istic, but as "cautious confidence" and "restrained confidence." British of- ficials tonight said the technical work of the conference had been completed and that the conferees were ready for their next pleniary session Mon- day afternoon at 4 o'clock. BURTONS RETURN FROM ESTERN MOTOR TRIP President Marion L. Burton, Mrs. Burton and their son and daughter, Paul and Jane, returned to Ann Arbor yesterday after a motoring trip through the east. They plan to remain in the city until Tuesday when they will leave for their summer home on Cass Lake, Minnesota, where the President will work on his annual re- port. The money provided for the fellow- ship in creative arts has been renewed, President Burton stated, and it is hoped that it will be filled for the next year before the opening of school in the fall. There is some probability that the holder of the fellowship next year will be a dramatist, President Burton said. The donor of the fellow- ship fund is a Detroit man who pre- fers to remain anonymous. Few Cases of Contagious Disease Records of the Health Service for last year show that among the com- municable diseases treated, there were 20 cases of chicken pox and mumps, 14 cases of scarlet fever, 11 cases of diphtheria, 7 cases of measles, 4 cases of small pox, and 1 case of typhoid fever. This percentage is very small con- sidering the number of students that are enrolled in the University. Park Row is wrangling about who coined the term "sob-squad." KELLOGG IS MEDIA TOR i t t 3. * . . An American, Frank B. Kellogg, of Minnesota, ambassador to Great Britain, has been called upon to play the delicate role of mediator in the allied conference on the Dawes reparations plan. Control Of Press Necessary To Democracy Declares Reed 250 MAKE TRIP TO- PUTI-AY ISLAND Largest Group to Make Excursion Leaves This Morning at 7 O'clock PROF. WILLIAM H. HOBBS IS LEADER OF LARGE PARTY Two hundred fifty students were scheduled to leave Ann Arbor at 7 o'clock this morning to ipake the an- nual summer session excursion to Put- in-Bay on Lake Erie. Prof. William H. Hobbs, head of the geology depart- ment, is in charge of the group which is by far the largest which has ever made the trip from the University. There were many more applicants than tickets, Prof. Hobbs said, and five spo- cial cars were required to take the group to Detroit. Students of the course in geology 3s will' be given an opportunity to study the caves on the island, and the wave action which is studied in connection with the course. Chief among the aves to be visited are Perry's Crystal, and the Mammoth caves, the second f which is particularly interesting in view of its peculiar crystaline struc- ture. The party will return to Ann Arbor tonight, reaching the city about 10 o'clock. WILL OFFR NEW 'COURSE IN DESIGN Four Year Curriculum in Decorative Design Recently Authorized by Regents SUBJECT FORMERLY GIVEN IN COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE A complete curriculum in decorative design leading after a four year course of study to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Design was authorized by the Board of Regents at their last meeting. For a number of years decorative de- sign has been taught in the college of architecture, but no opportunity to de- velop detailed and special work has viously been presented. Courses on i design and allied arts will be combined and extended, and so organized as to afford continuity, according to plans being made br Prof. Emil Lorch of the architectural faculty. Work for the new degree will cover subjects related to textiles, costume, furniture, glass and metal, and inter- ior decoration. With this technical training will be offered a maximum amount of cultural study, including drawing, painting and modeling, and architectural design and history. There has always been a consider- able demand for such instruction in the University and indications are that .the course will be highly favored this fall by students who are interested in "The field of politics is peculiarly woman's game and she has the facil- ities to play it well," declared Prof. T. H. Reed in speaking to the Insti- tute of Politics at- 2 o'clock yester- day in the University High School auditorium. She introduces a new element of gentleness into the game but she gets her own desired end in, her own way, the speaker contin- ued. A man will run from a fracas with a woman any time-unless it is with his wife. There are four popular ways of teaching government, of which the newspaper is by far the most im- portant, said Professor Reed. This is due to the fact that the paper reach- es almost everyone in the community, and that it moulds their opinion whether or not they are themselves aware of it, because it uses the most effective form of emphasis which is iteration. That is the secret of its power with the politicians, according{ to . Professor Reed. To be entirely satisfactory the newspaper must be financially successful, or it will oth- erwise engender public distrust. "If democracy is to survive in America we must control this Frankenstein of a press," said Professor Reed. This may be best illustrated by the papers! controlled by W. R. Hearst, whose attitude towards a public speaker al- most determines his standing in the community. Such a situation may be corrected in small communities by sending to th6 paper a report of the speech. This will be accepted because reporters are scarce. The other papers must{ be handled by bringing. pressure tof bear on the editor, or the owner. This is the place where the women may 1I most effective because she has weap- ons the man does not have. She may approach an irritated editor and with her sweetest smile insist that an ob jectionable article be corrected and, according to Professor Reed, although1 he may feel like throwing her down stairs as he would certainly do with an equally irasciibe male, he will not accord her that treatment. The leaflet, containing the facts; the personal call; and the school of citizenship are the other three forms of popular adult education. Player Classes To Give Dramas For F~estival Four one-act plays have been pro- duced this summer by the classes in play presentation, play direction and stage-craft, under the superivision of Earl Emery Fleischman, and several others are scheduled for production. "The Box," and "For God's' Sake," the latter written by Professor Ever- 'ett of the rhetoric, department, will be staged Monday, "The.Wonder Hat" on Tuesday, and others will be an- nounced later. These plays will be given at 1 o'clock in University Hall and are free. Outdoor performances are planned for Aug. 12, when the classes in play production are holding a Play Fes- tival. The party will start at 4 o'- clock, carrying their audience with them and stop at selected points to present the plays ecpecially adapted to outdoor presentation. A picinic at Riverside Park is planned as a grand finale for the day. HAYDEN AND LOET I ADDRESS INSTITUTEI "Far Eastern Relations" and "Law Making Bodies" Are Subjects of Discussion REPRESENTATIVES OF FIVE STATES ATTENDING SESSIONSr Let the United States and the Philip- pines agree on a course of action and then carry it out faithfully, is the so-l lution of the problem of the Philip-z pines, as presented by Prof. Joseph R.j Hayden of the political science depart-1 ment at the round table discussion of Far Eastern Relations held by the In-} stitute of Government and Politicsf yesterday. Tile discussion was oft especial interest as Professor Haydent gave the American viewpoint as con- trasted to that of Dean Kalaw, of the University of the Philippines, who spoke on the same subject Wednesday. The present restlessness in the Philippines is due, stated Professor Hayden, to trouble stirred up by polit- ical leaders, who turn the inhabitants against the United States to further their own interests. If the American and Philippino leaders would get to- gether and agree on a definite course of action this would be avoided and the independence of the Philippines hastened. Continuing his talk on "Law Making Bodies" before the Institute at 3:00 o'clock Friday, Mr. William P. Lovett, director of the Detroit Citizens League,' discussed the relationship of the exec- utive to the legislature, compensation f representatives, the relation between the press and the lobby, corruption in the legislature, and need of executive leadership. Mr. Lovett suggested the following improvements: abolishment of the two chamber system of government, re-I duced *size in the national congress, law requiring executives to sit in with the legislative body to give information and to debate questions, a raised level of compensation by increase of pay and recognition of public services, and abolishment of representation of small units and consequently by small men. Sixty-four women, representing five states in the Union, namely Illinois, Indiana, West Virginia, Missouri, and. Michigan, are registered in the Insti- tute, which closes here today. In ad- dition to those registered for the en- tire course, a large number have been attending single lectures.

In the singles, Greiner will meet the winner of the Jerome-Moore match for the DAVIS OPPOSED TO TWO-THRS RULE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE MAKES FIRST STATEMENT OF POLICY SAYS MAJORITY RULE BESTFOR BOTH HOUSES Refuses to State Whether Aceptance Address Will Differ From Party Platform Stark Harbor, Islesboro, Me., July 25. -(By A. P.)-Treaties should be rti- led by a majority of both houses of Congress instead of by a two thirds majority of the senate, as the consti- ution now requires, is the view of John W. Davis, democratic president- al nominee. In giving notice to this belief, here today, Mr. Davis made his first declara- tion of policy since his nomination, but he was. only reiterating a statement to he American bar association made more than a year ago at the time he was president of that organization. Mr. Davis declared in replies to questions as to whether he had made such a statement, "I believe with John Hay, the forefathers in their wisdom 'ixed it so that the kickers could rule. If -I had my way, the kickers would not be able to rule. "Treaties have been ratified in the same way that laws are made. One strikes at the vitals of the government no more than the other. I do not know of any other civilized govern- ment that requires more than a ma- jority and I do not see why it should be required in this country." Asked if his acceptance address would disagree with the party plat- form especially with the reference to the plank proposing a referendum on the league of nations, Mr.-Davis said it would not "dissent from it." Pressed on this point, the nominee said, "Wait until my address is com- plete. We then can lay it and the plat- form down together and see how they compare." Lorch Presents Development Of A rchitecture Regarding the works of outstanding American architects as representative of the period in which they lived, Prof. Emil Lorch, of the School of Architec- ture, outlined and illustrated, by means of slides, the history of American arch- itecture, last night, in Natural Science auditorium. Thetspeaker began with the civil war and traced the development to the present day. The first influence was the classical. The sub-treasury build- ing in Washington is a good example of the Greek treatment. Professor Lorch stated, "Architec- turally, as well as socially, we are a nation of borrowers." In proof of this, America next bor- rowed the Gothic style. The great christian style, manifested in churches is Gothic. Then the Centenqial exposition pro- duced a great change. It was, mainly, another instance of borrowing. It was a great "dream picture" of adaptations of former architectural attempts. However, terra cotta was introduced as a new decorative scheme. Former- ly, it had been used' only in construe- tion though it is, structurally, not suit- able. With the advent of steel as a build- ing material, there was a long period of experimentation. This resulted in a new type of architecture. The ma- sonry was "hung" on the steel. Per- haps the most successful treatment of the steel building, with the tower, is the Woolworth building in New York city. "The essential thing of a high build- ing is its height, and the thing to do is to emphasize this feature," affirmed the professor. "Architecture tells its own story in its own language, which all may learn." Bucharest, July 25.-A treaty of ex- tradition between Rumania and the United States was signed Wednesday.
