WANTS WILSON'S SALARY
FOR WALL ST. LOSERS
OVER 200 MEN COMPETE
FOR PLACES IN OPERA
Chayles Morgan, Jr., Directs Chorus
Tryouts Last Night at
°Union
Over 200 men tried out for places
in the chorus of the 1917 Michigan
Union opera at the Union last night.
This is the largest turnout that ever
has been present at any chorus tryout
since the Mimes started presenting an
annual opera. The first cut reduced
this number to 115, but Charles Mor-
gan, Jr., who personally conducted the
tryouts, acting as judge, considered
this number much too large, so a sec-
ond elimination was held, cutting the
total down to approximately 85.
Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the
cast was held at which time the book
was read and discussed. Mr. Morgan
had several minor corrections to make,
but expressed himself as being very
well pleased with it as it stood.
On Wednesday afternoon, the first
real cast rehearsal will be held at the
Union and on Wednesday night the
chorus will meet for its first practice.
Practically all those who survived the
cut last night will be carried on the
chorus till after the start of the new
semester when the final cut will be
made.
The list or chorus men will be posted
in the Union this afternoon and will
also appear in tomorrow's Daily.

alks,
Prof. Samuel de Martonne, profess-
of of geography in the Sorbonne,
Paris, will lecture We'dnesday and
Thursday afternoons in the auditor-j
ium of the Natural Science building,
speaking on the subjects of "The Bat-
tle Fields of France" and "Roumania."
Professor, de Martonne has been giv-
ing lectures at Columbia University
and Cornell University and is on his
way to the University of Chicago to lec-
ture. The lectures are given under

Dr. de Martonne, though only about
40 years of age, is one of the most dis-
tinguished geographers living, and the
best authority upon the areas which
he is to discuss. The predicament in
which Roumania finds itself today,
lends special interest to the second
lecture.
Owing to the ceremony in connec-
tion with the formal enrollment of
men of the naval reserves on Wednes-
day, the time of the first lecture which
had been set for 8 o'clock .in the even-
ing, has been made 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, so that both lectures will
be given at the same hour on succes-
sive days. Admission is free.

RECRUITING FOR NATAL
RESERVES__COMPLETED
Twenty-Five Percent of Candidates
Rejected in Physical Ex-
amination
With the divisions already over-
crowded, recruiting for the University
naval reserves closed last night, two
full days before the mustering cere-
mony. This, in view of the fact that
25 percent of those examined were
rejected. Under the efficient system
organized by J. P. Poppen, '17M, as-
sistant medical officer of the battalion,
forty-three men were looked over in
four days of examinations, giving an'
average of better than ten a day.
Final plans for the ceremonies to-
marrow night have practically been
completed. Permission has been .se-
cured for the attendance of the Var-
sity band, which is to lead the divis-
ions on the floor and play the national
anthem. It will also sound the bugle
calls necessary for the proper per-
formance of the mustering. On ac-
count of the inexperience of the stand-
ard-bearers in matters of flag-salutes,
the battalion flags will not be raised
at the mustering, as was heretofore
stated, but will be hung in a promin-
ent place in the gymnasium.
Definite word has not yet been re-
ceived from Governor Sleeper as to
the possibility of his attending to-
morrow's ceremonies but it is thought
that he will be unable to do so. Ad-
jutant-general Bersey, Captain Lewis,
and Lieut. Richardson and their
staffs will, however, be present, ar-
riving from Detroit on the Michigan
Central late Wednesday afternoon. It
has been decided to hold a reception
for the officers in the trophy room of
the gymnasium immediately after the
conclusion of the mustering.
President Harry B. Hutchins has ap-
pointed Dean Mortimer E. Cooley, of
the College of Engineering, to speak
for the University at tomorrow night's
formalities. Dean Cooley has had
wide experience in naval affairs him-
self, being a graduate of the Naval
academy and a former officer in the
United States navy. He was at one
time assistant engineer of the Mich-
igan naval brigade, the same organi-
zation with which the local divisions
will be affiliated.
NO PLACE FOR HYPHENS AT
MEETING OF S. A. R. TONIGHT
An "Americanization meeting," un-
der the auspices of the Washtenaw
chapter of the Sons of the American
revolution, will be given at 8 o'clock
tonight in the high school auditorium..
Mr. Milton E. Osbornwill act as pre-
siding officer of the meeting and the
main address will be given by Merton
A. Sturges of Chicago, chief natural-
ization examiner, Honorable J. E. Beal,
regent of the University, will give the
address of welcome. The musical pro-
gram is under the direction of Mr. T.
H. Trost.
DECLARES NEWS COMES

Representative Chiperfield and Witness
Threaten Personal Clash
Over Question
By J. P. YODER
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Jan. 8.-Thomas W.
Lawson declared this afternoon he had
been told by a member of congress
that a member of President Wilson's
cabinet had speculated in stocks on
advance information of the president's
note to belligerents. The Boston fi-
nancier made the charge at this after-
noon's session of the house rules com-
mittee probing the note leak to Wall
street.
A near personal clash between Law-
son and Representative Chiperfield fol-
lowed when Lawson refused to divulge
names. Chiperfield demanded that
Lawson be reported to the house that
"he might be dealt with for contempt."
Lawson declined to give the names, he

Supreme Court Upholds Decision of
Maryland with Reference to
West Virginia
Washington, Jan. 8.-Construing the
Webb-Kenyon act, the supreme court
today affirmed a Maryland court's de-
cision refusing to penalize the West-
ern Maryland railroad and the Adams
Express company for refusing to ship
liquor into "dry" West Virginia.
Attorney for the distillers argued
that soliciting by mail and delivery
by an express company did not con-
stitute a sale within the dry state,
which is forbidden by the Webb-Ken-
yon act. The lower court reversed
itself after reopening the case and de-
cided that it did.
The Kenyon law by the court's de-
cision was held constitutional. The
decree is of nation-wide importance,
affecting every prohibition state. Chief
Justice White, who read the opinion,
upheld the Kenyon law in its broadest
sense.
"Congress," he said, "has the. un-
doubted power to prevent interstate
commerce being used, to violate state
laws."
The structure of government, he
said, rests on co-operation of state and
nation. The decision is a severe blow
at distillers who had contended inter-
state commerce laws did not have any-
thing to do with state laws.
said, because he learned them in
confidentialftalk. The Chiperfield me
tion came after numerous brushes wit
Lawson; who seemed to take the greal
est delight in baiting the represents
tive. Lawson wanted to stop th
"hideousness" of the system by whic
"widows are robbed through leaks,
he said.
"Well, help us out by naming thi
congressman who named a cabine
member," Campbell pressed.
Lawson Refuses to Give Name.
Lawson replied: "I am anxious t
have this situation cleared up, bu
that is one fact that you won't ge
from me."
Lawson claimed to have corrobor
ated the congressman's statemen
about the cabinet members through
banker friend.
"And the banker said that matter
were such that the party with whoa
the cabinet member dealt wgs so clos
to the cabinet member that he coul(
get the latter out of bed at 5 o'clocl
in the morning to talk with him,
Lawson went on.
"Was the cabinet member suppose
to have speculated himself?" aske
Garrett.
"He was as closely connected wit
the leak as if he had speculated," sai
Lawson. Lawson again questioned th,
authority of the committee to investi
gate.
"I think it is the height of imprc
priety for the witness to question th
authority of the committee," inter
rupted Chiperfield.
Flouts Committee's Authority.
"I don't care what the committee'
authority is or what the committe
does or thinks," Lawson replied, "
only know you have me here and
wish you would let me go home."
Lawson brought in the name c
Barry Baruch, but an attempted eulog
of him was halted.
"Baruch will talk for himself," th
committee men said.
"Well, it seems to me there has bee
an attempt to make somebody the goa
maybe me," said Lawson.
"I don't give a damn," said Lawso
when Chairman Henry ruled the wil
ness must not make side remarks. "
will make them if they are made t
me."
"The break in the market would hav
come without a leak," added Lawson
Washington, Jan. 8.-Assessment of
one month's pay of the "president,
each And every representative, senator,
cabinet officer, stenographer and clerk"
to-help pay losses of Wall street specu-
lators on the leak on the presidential
note was proposed today in a resolu-
tion by Representative Kent of Cali-
fornia.
The resolution provides that all
losses of speculators from Dec. 18 to 24
be paid, and that the contingent fund
of the house be drawn on, if neces-
sary, to help the officials pay it.
Kent declared there had been fric-
tion between the "correlative branches
of the government" located respective-
ly in Wall street and Washington, D.
C., and while the Washington branch
thought peace advisable, Wall street
believed in war.
