WOULD AROUSE INTEREST
IN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Graduates of Mckinley Man.
uaI Training School Hold
Spirited Meeting.

At spirited meeting at the Mckinley
Manual Training School the Mckinley
Manual Training Alumni Association
adopted several measures looking forward
to the cultivation Of a greater schoo
spirit and greater interest in the alumni
association. last night Among other
things 1t was decided that the association
should make an effort to give some books
to the library OF the school, and also to
have school song written. The school is
at present without song which the mem
bers Of the association deem suited for
school activities.
]. Bond Smith. president Of the asso-
citation. announced that beginning with
the next school year addresses would be
made to the students of the school from
time to time to interest them In the
alumni association and its work. It IL
believed that by this plan a greater mum
Der and more interested members may
be secured. It was said that in many
instances in former years students had
been graduated from the school with.
out knowing OF the existence Of the
alumni association.
THE trouble is said President Smith
that the graduates forget the schoo
just when they can make their influence
felt. We want to stir the school up, and
get good school spirit here.
Committee to Prepare Song.
A committee to compose a school song
or have one composed, will be appointed
in the near future by Mr.. Smith. This
started a discussion between the mem.
bers of the association as to what was
the best method of showing school spirit
by singing and yelling, or by acting.
1t was decided that the association
should meet five times a year in the fu.
ture instead Of twice year, as in the
past. The time set for the meetings
though not set for certain days, will be
Immediately after the opening OF schoo
in the fall, again during the Thanksgiving
holidays. during the Christmas holidays
during the Easter holidays and shortly
after the close Of the scholastic year.

AFRAID OF FLYING MACHINES
Germans Demand Law Giving Right
to Shoot Aviators.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN. June PA demand has been
put forward by the Taegliche Rundschau
for new law authorizing the military
authorities in Germany to shoot down at
sight any flying machines or airships that
pass over Notifications in order to pre-
vent espionage In the clouds
It is argued that French or other spies
can now easily sail over fortified places
and photograph or sketch them from
above, whereby Germany's military de-
lenses might be betrayed to possible enc
mics.
Approximation Of flight over Notifications
would be futile owing to the difficulty of
arresting a flying spy. hence the demand
for the statutory right to shoot down
without discrimination all airships or fly
ing machines observed above fortified
places.

COURT WILL NOT STOP
COPPER MINE MERGER
Judge Swan Refuses Injunc-
ton in Calumet and HecIa
Company Case.

DETROIT, June 24-United States Dis
trict Judge Henry H. Swan today issued
an order denying all injunctive relief in
the case Of G. NJ. Hyams. Of New York,
who asked an injunction to prevent the
merger Of the Calumet and Hecla, Osce-
ola and eight other copper mining COM
panies.
Judge Swan vacated the restraining
order that has been In effect since Feb
ruary %, and an extended opinion in the
matter will be handed down in course Of
a week. While the case arose in the
court of the northern division Of the
western district Of Michigan, which is at
Marquette. hearings were held before
Judge Swan here at Detroit.
Litigation Was Lengthy.
The merger Of the Calumet and Hecla
with the other companies, which has been
approved by the majority interests in the
mining companies involved, but opposed
by certain minority interests, has been
the subject Of litigation for years and
the fight was several times taken into the
state legislature
Four years ago the legislature amended
the state laws SO as to revoke the per-
mission that had been given for one min
ing company to own stock in another.
But while the amendment was awaiting
Gov. Warmers signature, hearings were
held by the governor at Detroit, with
the result that the matter was recon-
sidered by the legislature and the amend
ment failed.
The plan Of consolidation that is In
volved In the case decided by Judge
Swan embraces the following companies:
Calumet and Hecla, Osceola, Tamarack,
Ahmeek, Seneca, Centennial, La Sale,
Allouez, Superior and Laurium.

er that fell this afternoon had been

ton that a good old fashioned rain
was in store for this section. Local

had fallen.
The shower will do corn and cot
ton much good and has broken the
