Theater Party and Ball to
Feature Closing Days of the
National Convention.

John Alexander Howard, of Tallahas-
see, Fla, the oldest Sigma M in at
tendance at the fraternity's convention
in Atlanta, is a firm believer in the fra
ternity as it exists in the American
college. He deplores the anti-frater-
nifty fights instigated by disgruntled in
dividuals and declares that if the true
meaning of the fraternity were under
stood by all there would be little cause
for friction.
The fraternity is a great institution
in it's influence on the average sAmeri-
can undergraduate declared Mr.. How
ard today. 1T fills a need in the life
Of the college student which never
could be filled in any other way Boys
naturally seek others of their kind, and
it is inevitable that this tendency
should find expression in the student
organizations which we know as fra
ternities. Wherever man is thrust he
casts about for congenial spirits He
will find them sooner or later
Fraternity life, properly lived, brings
out manly qualities that otherwise
would lie dormant or undeveloped.
Pride in the various groups of men and
the name of the orders stimulates men
to do their best in appearance and in
action.
Good For Colleges"
"Only good to the college can result,
with members anxious to go out and
bring in prospects who are of like high
character and standing. Thus does the
college renew it's youth, and the growth
is healthy one"
Yesterday was one of the pleasantest
days of the Sigma Nus young lives.
Starting with the opening business ses-
sion at II q. M and ending with a big
banquet at the Piedmont at p. m, the
day was brimful of joy.
Especially joyful were the pre-" and
post" trimmings Of the banquet, the
main affair being most too dry to wet

California delegates were the first to

ATTORNEY WHITMAN IN WEST.
Arrives In Hot Springs and Confers
With Alderman Pratt.

Hot Springs, Ark, Sept. 16.-Distriet
Attorney Whitman and Assistant Rubin
of New York arrived here, shortly before
II O'Clock. today Mr.. Rubin immediate
ly went into conference with Alderman
Petit, who was acting mayor of Hot
Springs at the time of the arrest of Sam
Sehepps.
Efforts will be made by Mr.. Whitman
while here to secure statements, it is
understood, with view to strengthening
the case against Police Lieutenant Beck
er. charged with instigating the murder
of the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, In
New York City in July last For this
purpose the district attorney will exam
inc citizens of Hot Springs, who talked
with Sam Schepps after his arrest here,
Ia month ago, and before Schepps was
taken back to New York An inyestga7
ton will be made of the assertion on the
part of the defence that Schepps while
in Hot Springs said or limited to certain
persons that in his opinion Becker was
the victim of a plot the result of which
was to fasten upon the policeman a
crime planned and executed by the gam
blers. Those TO whom Schepps talked
most while in Hot Springs declare that
he made no such statements, directly or
indirectly Schepps, however, is believ-
ed to have talked to great many other
persons, as he had been here three
weeks before he was arrested
Interest in the possible developments
here will be augmented by the arrival
of John F. Mcintyre of counsel for Lieu
tenant Becker. who, it is reported here.
will come to Hot Springs from New
York, remaining here indefinitely.
District Attorney Whitman after talk
ing to Douglas Hotchkiss and j. l..
Wadley, Jr., local newspaper editors, ex-
pressed the opinion, tonight, that efforts
to discredit the testimony of Schepps as
a witness for the state in the prosecu-
ton of Police Lieutenant Becker would
fail. II am perfectly satisfied" he de-
clared, that Schepps. while here made
no intimation that he could excuipate
Becker"

Pres. Madero Says Little of lnterna
tional Relations, In Message.

Mexico City, Sept. 1G.-But one
reference to relations between the
United States and Mexico was made
by President Madero in his message,
tonight, to Congress, and that was
in connection with the American
claims for indemnity, growing out Of
the battle of Juarez in 1911. The rea-
son for their remaining unsettled, he
informed Congress, lay in the exag
gerated demands. Eleven claimants,
he added appeared at Douglas and
six at E Paso, seeking indemnity for
wounds they had received at Juarez,
Due in some eases to their negl-
genee. and in others TO curiosity t.
witness the battle" Indemnities
granted, he said, We're based. on
judgements rendered in similar in
stances in American courts.
The message contained assurances
that the revolution practically was
ended and peace speedily would be re-
stored.
After stating that almost all of
the $40 100000 war loan made in
June, already had been expended, the
President said it would be necessary
to authorize another loan.
