anger of Congestion Lies in Attempt

To Detain Immigrants at

Station

New York, July 3.-(By A. P.)-

ith the immigration quota of seven

.tions filled and four thousand ad-.

tional aliens expected to'arrived on

aers today, the Ellis island immi-

ation station is clogged as never

fore in its history.

It is indicated that if relief to ex-

dite the passing on appealed cases

not received from Washington, and

the unprecedented flow of'immi-

ants continues, the station faces a

raporary shut-down.

Four thousand more Europeans

me yesterday on 12 liners. Only

08 immigrants who had previously

rived were examined and of this

imber 1,500 were permitted to land.

Is in 'the task of caring for the

tained immigrants that the danger

clogging thet station lies. The ina-

lity of R. C. White, assistant secre-

ry of labor, who is ill to come to

e island to act on appeals, has held

P such cases.

Henry H. Curran, new commission-

of immigration, is optimistic over

e situation.

IMELE IANTI-SALOON

HEAD, FLAYS 1CaZENS

(By Special Correspondent)

Alma, June 3.-iWayne B. Wheeler,

neral counsel of the Anti-Saloon

ague of America, from Washing-

n, vigorously denounced Senator

uzens' a per cent beer proposal at

e State Synod pof the Presbyterian

Lurch held here yesterday, That

e average alcoholic content of beer

fore prohibition was only three or

ur per cent and that men became

toxicated on such liquor was the

gument upheld by Mr. Wheeler. He

ated that it is possible for a man

become intoxicated on 2.75 per cent

er and even 2 per cent beer.

"In the enactment of prohibition

forcement codes it °is not a ques-

n as to whether liquor is actually

toxicating, but what is necessary in

-der to bring about an honest en-

rcement of the law. This is the

ason why practically every state

>ids the alcoholic standard to about

Ie-half of one per cent. The evident

tent of the 5 per cent beer chain-

ons is to try and enact a law pro-

biting beer of a certain alcoholic

intent and then leave the govern-

ent with no machinery for dealing

ith certain liquors of lower alco-

>ie contpnt, which clearly are in-

xicating," Mr, Wheeler declared

at if the 5 per cent berer proposal

are accepted it is estimated that 90

r cent of the political corruptions

id evils of the former wet regime

ould be prevalent.

Weddings Announced

On June 23 Mr. Gilbert H. Doane,

ty, was married at Elliot, Connecti-

tt, to Miss Susan H. Sherman, of

. E

INDEPENDENCE DAY

Today we celebrate the 147th an-

niversary of the signing of the Declar-

ation of Independence in which the

struggling colonies banded together

against the autocratic policies of

George III and set up a single ideal of

equality for all mankind in "life, lib-

erty, and the pursuit of happiness."

When the thirteen colonies set forth

their intentions in 1776 it was an act

of seltf-preservaltion against British

oppression that held them together.

When the Revolutionary war had ceas-

ed a unified ideal was formulated and

served to hold the provinces togeth-

er. Finally in the Constitution a defin-

ite program of government for the

child-nation was set forth and it is

this which has since maintained the

strength of our Union.

No longer held together in self

defense, apparently ,without one com-

mon ideal, and challenging the valid-

ity of the definite system of govern-

ment which has evolved through al-

most a century and a half, the United

States while still able to maintain its

independence, 0s apparently losing Its

unity. Our system of governmental

organization has been perfected, that

is true. It has almost overstepped

its limit in the way of regulations but

still goes on.

_ In maintaining national Independ-

ence, this country has held the policy

of avoiding all European alliances of

a permanent nature inviolate. To-

day when Europe is in such deep dis-

tress, when international peace as an

ideal seems doomed to failure unless

the United States accepts either a

World Courttplansorjoinstthe League

of Nations, our natural and uninter-

fered independence must not give way

to sentimental feelings of pity for

poor little Europe.

We should do all within our power

to 'help establish the world on a

basis of arbitrary settlements, of mu-

tual understanding. We should not,

however, sacrifice our independence

to the detriment of our own prin-

ciples.

TRAINING VIA HIJMILIATION

Young fellows leave their homes to

spend four years or more at college

and expect to return to their moth-

ers' loving arms, well rounded and

worldly men. They spend half of

their time at a university like Mich-

igan before finding out just what an

education means, and the latter pr-

tion of their intellectual sojourn is

then necessarily occupied with the

task of finding out how to make the

best of that education,

There are many worn-out reasons

given for the failure of colleges to

accomplish their purpose but one In

particllar is responsible for more In-

nocent disappointments than any oth-

er. Self-assurance, confidence in word

aifd act, are uncultivated in almost

every boy who comes to college. Even

after several years of academic train-

ing many lack that self-reliance which

Emerson puts as a keystone to suc-

cess.

It is not a difficult thing to impress

the student with the value of. this

trait. In fact with the present sys-

em of class recitations he would be

forced to cultivate his confidence if

failure in quizzes was made sufficient-

ly humiliating. We do not want to

force students to their work but they

toUld none the less be made to feel

their lack of self-reliance through em-

barrassment,

The man who goes out into the

world, knowing what he can do and

confident in himself through all of

his trials has the advantage on the

uncertain fellow who never quite

catches up to him.



To those who were not here during

the past year, the black coffin in the

entrance to 207 U. H. is a mysterious

object. Its somber appearance sug-

gests black thoughts and sensational

tales. To the uninitiated who gaze

upon that coffin could come only won-

der and conjectures as to its pur-

pose. However it has had its use,

even if for the time being it is dead.

That black box, hung papoose like on

the wall, contrary to most coffins has

held not the dead but the living, real

live stories of the most secret and sen-

sational type. This coffin differs in

another way from other coffins. Its

contents are en route for the morgue

instead of vice versa.

Journalists, and would-be journal-

ists, and those interested had last year

a student publication called "The

Morgue." Contributions to this were

made through the "coffin" and the pa-

per was read at the lunches which the

Press club held every two weeks.

Editor and contributors exercised

all freedom of speech when writing/

for the paper; it was for the consump-

STAGE COACH ROBBERY IS

a "THRILL" OF CELEBRATION

Daniel L. Quirl, ,r. and his cast of

more than 1,000 people presented the

"Pageant of Ypsilanti" at 8:30 o'clock

last night, bringing the centennial

elebration to a climax in Ypsilanti.

Monday's activities included a "hold-

up" of ian old stage coach which was

carrying letters from officials of De-

troit, The coach was first attacked

by banditti under the leadership of R.

Clyde Ford, president of the Ypsilanti

Rotary club, at Dearborn, who forced

the occupants to remain to lunch.

The coach was again held up at Ypsi-

lanti by masked ruffians, who looted

the mail sack and all valuables be-

longing to the occupants of the coach.

All then proceeded to Gilbert Park

where all were officially received by

Dr. E. S. George, president of the

Kiwanis club.

The day's activities concluded with

a costume ball. The dancers were at-

tired in costumes of 100 years ago,

presenting a brilliant spectacle. There

were old Southern gentlemen, stately

dowagers, dashing young cavaliers

and others in powdered wigs and satin

coats and breeches,

UNCERTAINTY OF BOUT ENDS AS

PROMOTERS REACH SETTLE-

KEARNS REACHES TERMS

WITH FIGHT PROMOTERS

Dempsey's Manager Agrees to Gamble

On Last $100,000; Will Take

First Receipts

Great Falls, July 3.-The Jack

Dempsey-Tom Gibbons heavyweight

chapipionship fight suddenly called off

at midnight last night, was put back

on its feet again and will be decided

in the big pine bowl at Shelby to-

morrow as scheduled. Jack Kearns,

manager of the world heavyweight

champion, at a conference which

broke up at 2:45 a. m., today agreed

to send Dempsey into the ring against

the St. Paul challenger tomorrow and

gamble for the final $100,000 install-

ment due Dempsey on his $300,000

guarantee.

The promoters guaranteed the pre-

liminary expenses of the show which

includes the payment of the boxers

of the preliminary bouts, $5,000 to

Jimmy Dougherty, the referee and

other incidental expenses, which pro-

bably will amount to $30,000.

Lane Still In

Maj. J. E. Lane, of Lewistown,

Mont., who resigned as trustee for

the promoters yesterday, after fail-

ing to raise Dempsey's $100,000 de-

cided to continue as trustee and as-

sist the promoters in untangling the

muddled finances. Kearns will have

jurisdiction over all gate receipts un-

til the champion's $100,000 is obtain-

ed. The gate receipts will then revert

to the promoters.

The fight was actually called off at

12:30 o'clock this morning after an

angry argument between Jack Kearns

the champion's manager, and Stan-

ton in a room crowded with newspa-

per correspondents . Stanton appear-

ed to tell Kearns that the $100,000

which the champion's manager had

demanded was not available and he

saw no prospect of raising it.

Kearns offered to agree to a post-

ponement to July 25 to 'enable the

finances to be completely reorganized

and a new drive started for the sale

of tickets. This, however, did not

meet with the approval of the promot-

ers and Kearns went into a room with'

the newspaper correspondents for .a

discussion of the situation.

Asks Newspapermen

Kearns asked the newspapermen

just what they thought of the situa-

tion and they unanimously were of

the opinion that the fight should be

held. They counseled with the man-

ager to go back and make the "pro-

posal to "gamble" with the- gate re-

ceipts for his final $100,000 guaran-

tee provided the preliminary ex-

penses of the show were absolutely

assured,

The champion's manager hesitated,

studied for a few moments ,and then

hurriedly left the room. He proceed-

ed immediately to the room where

the promoters were conferring and

made the "gambling" proposition. The

proposal was not immediately ac-'

cepted, however and Lane, Molum-

by and former Judge Roy E. Ayers

asked for a few minutes by them-

selves to talk it over. They discussed

the proposition and came back in 20

minutes with the announcement that

they would accept.

The first announcement-or the last

-to the newspapermen came from

Lane, who opened the door of the

conference room and shouted:

"Boys the fight is on."

Anything May Happen to

Great Falls, Mont., July 3.-(By A

P.)-Jack Dempsey rolled into 'bed al

his training camp here tonight for .hi

lIst sleep before he crawls into the

ring to defend his world's heav

weight championship against Tomm

Gibbons. Dempsey declared that h

expected Gibbons to prove to be out

of the toughest opponents he has eve

met.

Challenger Dangerous

"I am not one who regards him

fightly," said Dempsey. "I regard ev-

ery challenger as dangerous; they art

all dangerous until they are on tht

floor. I am not going to take an

chances with Gibbons. I will mak

every effort to beat him in the flrst

round if possible.

"Anything is liable to happen to a

champion any time he goes into th

ring. So I am going to do my best

and should I fail, I shall be among

the first to welcome Gibbons as the

new °champion.

Dempsey Feel, Fine

"It is my coifident feeling that I

never was in better shape. I feel

better than I have in many years o

the day before a fight. My training

period has been handled with suc

perfection that I have greatly benefited

by, it."

®Dempsey looks to be everything that

his manager, Jack Kearns, has said

about him.

Rowe Lectures On

F a its Formation

Prof. J. P. Rowe, of the University

of Montana, who is instructor in the

geology department during the sum-

mer, d elivered an exceedingly inter+

esting illustrated lecture to a large

audience at the Natural Science audi-,

torium yesterday afternoon on "The

Geology of Niagara Falls.

Professor Rowe began with the

earliest formations of the Falls and

the Niagara river and traced their de-

velopment to the present day. He stat-

ed that the sea at one time covered

all this region and that the river was

eventually made by the rains form-

ing streams which in turn cut the

deep gorges.

Professor Rowe traced the develop.

ment of the Great Lakes and of the

great gorge of the Niagara rive

which he said were developed at the

same time. The most recent change

in the gorge is believed to have oc

curred before the birth of Christ. Ev-

ery year the Falls recede a little, the

Canadian Falls receding two and a

half feet annually while the Americar

Falls recede only two inches. The

river can not cut through the har

limestone so that it wears the earth

away under it and the big rocks breal

off.
