WASHINGTON, July 15. -Advo-
cates of the London naval treaty!
closed their case before the Senate
today with an exposition of the
agreement by Senator Reed, Rep.,
Pa., one of the delegates and to-
night leaders were looking forward
confidently to a final vote on the
pact.
Next Tuesday as has been tenta-
tively suggested for the date to
vote and there were no understand-
ings tonight and a determined
band of opponents were cracking
away at the treaty with consider-
able amunition in store.
Senator Robinson, Rep., Ind., led
the attack today in a speech of
three hours.
Johnson Asks for First Proposal.
The Reed speech was heard by
the largest attendance thus far
during the special session. The
opening roll call showed 60 mem-
bers present. Others arrived dur-
ing the day, virtually eliminating
the fears of treaty advocatesrthat
the lack of a quorum might break
up the session.
Senator Johnson, Rep., Cal., the
leader of the opposition, at the con-
clusion- of Reed's address, engaged
him in one of the most spirited of
their many exchanges. Johnison

With more than two weeks of the
Summer Session past, classes at the
Douglas Lake Biological station
have settled into regular progress.
There are now 224 students regis-
tered there, of which 152 are grad-
uates, 70 are from the literary col-
lege, and two are members of the
education school.
Several classes have shown a
marked increase over former regis-
trations. Elementary ornithology
with 31 students and entomology
with 30 are larger than any previ-
ous classes. Enrollments in limnol-

Considerable changes have been
made in the camp this season. Con-
crete floors have been constructed
in all but eight of the houses. All of
the other buildings have concrete
floors. Steel sash windows have
been installed in many of the struc-
tures. The clubhouse has been im-
proved with a new foundation of
- concrete and cobblestone.
A new dining room and a new
kitchen, both well lighted and well
ventilated, are now in use. The din-

one,.and the kitchen has many new
conveniences.
The store, the offices, the chemi-

TO PRESENT NOTED
PRISON LIFE PLAY
Criminal Code', Unusual Success
in New York, Secured for
Production Here.
I WALLACE DIRECTS, ACTS
Performance This Evening to be
Followed by Inspection of
Theatre by Audience.
"The Criminal Code," the melo-
drama of prison life which, in New
York in October, 1929, brought a
discriminating first-night audience
to its feet, cheering, will be pre-
sented at 8:15 o'clock tonight by
Play Production's Michigan Reper-
tory players in the Lydia Mendel-
ssohn theatre. Prof. Chester M.
Wallace, guest director and head
of the drama department at the
Carnegie Institute of Technology,
will have the role of the warden.
He is also in charge of the produc-
tion of this play.
Tonight will be the first time
that Martin Flavin's greatest play
has been seen outside of New York
city where it met with instant suc-
cess. "The Criminal Code" was be-
lieved by many to be the logical
recipient of the Pulitzer prize in
drama for 1930.
Special Rights Secured
Through personal acquaintance
with the author, Professor Wallace
has been able to secure rights to
the play for Ann Arbor production.
~"The Criminal Code" is the most
ambitious production yet attempt-
ed by the department, requiring 23
persons in the cast and nine differ-
ent sets.
Through the large variety of
stage "types" enrolled in the Play
Production courses, it has been pos-
sible to cast every part accurately.
Aided by the complete facilities of
the Mendelssohn theatre, scenic and
lighting effects have been arranged
which could not possibly be attain-
ed in a less adequate plant.
Wallace Plays Lead
In the original company directed
by William Harris, Jr., the role of
Martin Brady, the warden of the
prison, was taken by Arthur Byron.
Professor Wallace will appear in
this part tonight. Before taking a
f position of the faculty of Carnegie
Tech, Professor Wallace attained
notable success on the professional
stage.
A group of more than 300 per-
sons, composing a theatre party of
the Ypsilanti Women's Study club,
will attend the performance tonight
in a body. Following the show, a
reception is to be given for them in
the League building and they will
be conducted through back-stage
for inspection of the theatre.
This play will be given for four
nights, closing Saturday. There will
be no matinee this week. Seats are
priced at 75 cents.

Prof. Ray Immel, dean of the
school of speech at the University
of Southern California, will speak
on "Some Experiments in Talking
Pictures" at 5 o'clock this afternoon
in the Natural Science auditorium.
Two years ago Warner Brothers
introduced the Vitaphone, but it
was recognised that the highly-paid
silent picture artists could not ap-
pear in the talking pictures at once.
In order to develop their speaking
voices, Professor Immel was called
in to make tests of the different
stars. To aid in this test Professor
Immel invented the telegraphone
which somewhat resembles the dic-
taphone.
Such stars as Norma Shearer,
Anita Page, and Lon Chaney have
been personally tested by Professor
Immel. In many cases the result
proved valuable in the discovery of
voices for the talkies.
Professor Immel graduated from
Michigan in 1910, and was a mem-
ber of the faculty until 1924 when
he went to the University of South-
