HUGHES SUPPORTS
RIGHT TO TRAVEL
AGAINST HECKLER
TELLS QUESTIONER HE FAVORS
MAINTENANCE OF ALL
RIGHTS
URGES FIRMNESS OF POLICY
Wants America "Standing for Its Own
Rights," Asking Only
for Justice
By rercy Arnold
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Columbus, Ind., Oct. 31.-Heckled
by a spectator who said he was a
"personal admirer," Governor Hughes
today declared, in answer to a qu'es-
tion of whether he would favor or op-
pose an embargo against shipment of
munitions, or the passage of the Mc-
Lemore ,resolution:
"I am in favor of the maintenance
of every right, including the right to
travel and the right of shipment. It
is a very important right that we have
as-a neutral nation, and it is very im-
portant at this time. When the great
war is raging we should vindicate
neutral rights and maintain the in-
tegrity of international law.
"To my mind it is a very thoughtless
policy that would surrender any of
these important rights because of any
sentimental consideration, when we
have the vast necessity of neutral com-
merce, and the importance of the
rights of neutralsrto consider, with re-
spect to the future of the United
States.
"What we want is an America stand-
ing for its own rights, facing the
world with a sense of justice, asking
naught but that to which it is entitled.
We need an America four squared to
the world, commending itself by the
firmness and consistency of its policy,
vindicating the principles of interna-
tional law, and showing itself to all as
the champion of the rights of neu-
tras.
DISCOVER COAL IN ARGENTINA
Extensive 1)eposits Found in Province
of San Juan; Quality Good
(By United Press.)
Buenos Aires, Oct. 31.-(Special.)-
The discovery is reported of extensive
coal deposits in the Argentine prov-
ince of San Juan. The statement is
made that it is nearly as good as the
best quality of Welsh coal. Experts
have not yet had a chance, however,
to make a test as to quality or to de-
termine the extent of the fields. 'Coal
would prove of immense importance to
Argentina, which is prevented from
becoming a great industrial country by
lack of cheap fuel.

Figures Dance
at Band Boost
That most astute lexicographer,.Mr.
Noah Webster, has painstakingly set
forth 17 definitions of the word "fig-
ure," everyone of which can be made
to apply to the act of Helen Champion
and company, "Algebraic Antics,"
which. holds one of the leading posi-
tions on the program of the Band
Boost.M
Thirteen women, attired in appro-
priate costumes and bearing huge fig-
ures go through .the mazes of an
aesthetic dance and in so doing solve
a problem in simultaneous equation.
The slender plot is woven about the
dreams that haunt a tired professor of
mathematics who has fallen asleep
while marking his bluebooks.
Those who will figure in the present-
ation are: Genevieve O'Leary, '17,
Helen McAndrew, '19, Lavinia Mc-
Bride, '18, Mildred Crissey, '17, Clara
Jones, '17, Harriet Walker, '17, Kath-
ryn Shay, '17, Amy Nelson, '17, Julia
van Leeuvwen, '17, Kathryn Grant, '19,
Phyllis Egglestone, '19, Mary Rosevelt,
'17, Emily Mack, '19, and Helen Cham-
pion, '17.

posing of the admittance cards report
a steady sale. The tickets may be
had at the Union, Busy Bee, Huston's,

BOLIVAR STATE TURNS DOWN
PLAN FOR HEALTH STATION
(By United Press.)
Bogota, Oct. 31.-Newspaper com-
ment from the whole of Colombia
shows the entire country agreed on
approval of the Cartagena chamber of
commerce's rejection of the United
Fruit gompany's request for permis-
sion to establish a health station on
the coast of Bolivar province, inde-
pendently of those maintained by the
Colombian government.
The company, in a diplomatic note
to Bolivar state, represented that the
Panama health authorities persist in
quarantining United Fruit steamships
from Colombian ports, regardless of
the clean bills granted by the Colom-
bian officials. It was for this reason
that the concern professed to want a
Colombian station presided over by
medical experts from the United
States.
The Colombian view is that the re-
quest was part of a "pin prick" policy
by the United Fruit company, due to
the fact that Colombian capital has re-
cently put two steamships in commis-
sion on the Atlantic and one on the
Pacific coast in competition with the
United Fruit liners. It is stated also
that the United Fruit company has
made a 40 per cent reduction in rates
to meet this competition.
Wisconsin Plans Union Building
Madison, Wis., Oct. 31.-A movement

MICHGANWOMEN
POSSESSFREEDOM
National Y. W. C. A. Student Secretary
Believes Independent Spirit
Is Striking Quality
UNIVERSITY IS SELF-CENTERED
"Intellectual freedom is a marked
characteristic of the women of this
University," said Miss Leslie Blanch-
ard, the national student secretary of
the Y. W. C. A., to a representative
of The Daily yesterday. "It- is a free-
dom which might easily develop into
an excess of self-assertiveness in some!
cases. The independent spirit is cer-
tainly the most striking squality of!
Michigan women as a whole."
In speaking of her investigation of
the problems of student associations in
state universities, Miss Blanchard fur-
ther observed, "Michigan is an ex-
tremely self-centered school, almost
oblivious of the existence of the other
middle western colleges. This state
of affairs may probably be attributed
to the venerable position which Michi-
gan enjoys, to her inability to forget
that she was once the only great uni-
versity west of the Alleghanies, and
also, perhaps, to her lack of inter-
course, athletic and otherwise, with her
neighbors to the west."
Miss Blanchard, who is visiting Ann
Arbor for the purpose of studying the
Y. W. C. A. here as compared with
those of other state universities, rep-
resents the national board of the as-
sociation with headquarters in New
York. As a graduate of Leland Stan-
ford Jr. University, she is familiar
with conditions in the far west and is
now investigating the group of col-
leges to which Michigan belongs.

versity Hall. Mr. LeGallienne is ap-
pearing under the auspices of the
Oratorical association, this being his

Gallienne is recognized all over the

book similar to "Treasure Island,"
using a house boat on the Connecticut
river for that purpose.

VACCINATION REQUIRED
OF YPSILNTI STUDENTS
City Health Officer Warns Ann Arbor
Residents Attending Normal
to Be Cautious
Every student of the Michigan State
Normal School of Ypsilanti who is a
resident of Ann Arbor has been
warned by Dr. J. A. Wessinger, city
health officer, to be vaccinated at once.
"We have a list of the names and
addresses of every one of these stu-
dents," said Dr. Wessinger yesterday,
"and we will keep close tab on them
in order to check any outbreak of
smallpox, of which there are four
cases among the normal school stu-
dents.
"Ann Arbor is at the present time
remarkably free from contagious dis-
eases," continued Dr. Wessinger.
There is one case of diphtheria at the
University hospital's contagious ward,
and also one case of poliomyelitis or
infantile paralysis. No cases of ty-
phoid fever are known to be outside
of the hospitals. Of the latter, the
University hospital has four, the
Homeopathic hospital one, and St.
Joseph's sanitorium one. The last
outside case of t'yphoid fever, that of
the daughter of Prof. E. W. Dow, of
the history department, was dismissed
Monday.
"The city health survey is now
practically finished. We have found
a great deal of value from the stand-
point of public health and much that
will be useful toward amending and
drafting ordinances to meet the new
conditions. Charts of all sanitary ar-
rangements in the city have been pre-
pared and are accessible at any time
for reference."
NEWBERRY RESIDENCE GIVES
UNIQUE HALLOWE'EN PARTY
Guests Carry Out Program With
Everything Reversed; Put Cart
Before Horse
The girls of Newberry residence in-
troduced something new in the way
of Hallowe'en festivities Monday even-
ing when they gave a "backward
party." Everyone appeared in gar-
ments strangely familiar, but neatly
adjusted hind side before, good old
songs were sung backward, partners
one-stepped back to back, and the cart
was put before the horse in every pos-
sible manner. Dean Myra B. Jordan
bowed her acknowledgement of the ap-
plause which greeted her appearance
by leaning over backward.
Fortunes were told with cards by
Miss Agnes Wells, social director, and
with the less occult art of palmistry
by Margaret Barlow, '20, which indi-
cated fertile imaginations at work
somewhere. The freshmen of different
floors strove with tooth, and some-
times contrary to the rules, with nail,
for the possession of apples hung on
strings, to the vast amusement of their
elders. And when the contestants and
the apples were exhausted, the party
concluded with a dance in the dining
room.
