MICHIGAN KNOCKS AT DOOR
Seeks Readmission to Confer
ence if Rule Is Changed.

Ann Arbor. Mich. March 23-The Uni
versity OF Michigan board in control OF
athletics late yesterday voted in favor
Of returning To the Western Conference
on condition that the so-called boycott
rule is abolished and the rule concerning
the university boards Of control OF ath-
letics is amended. Ii is expected that a
Michigan petition for admission will be
considered at the next spring meeting of
the conference.
The so-called boycott rule provides that
no conference college can compete with a
school which has been IA member of the
conference but has withdrawn. Among
the students tonight il was generally
believed that there is little hope OF the
conference giving up the rule.
Michigan would amend the regulations
which require each board in control OF
athletics to have faculty majority, so
that t VIII be subject To veto by the
president of the school.

TO lay most OF the blame on the literary

A Broadside to Teachers.

State Supt. T. H. Harris, I'M a
circular letter to the teachers of
Louisiana, which we publish in
this issue, makes a timely sug-
gestion to the teachers, WHICH
the school boards of the parishes
and localities should require ito
be followed.
After noting the lack of prog
ress in schools, Mr.. Harris says
he thinks the teachers should
really teach" the children. The
system of expecting the children
to do most of their studying at
home, is an injustice to parents
and children, and in many cases
it is a great nuisance. as the chill
dren have, or should have help
full work to do at home.

Shreveport, Dec. 2. Federal
Judge Aleck Boarman yesterday
ordered the United States mar
shall to seize the property of the
Clear Creek Lumber Company,
located in the parish of Grant.
This was in pursuance of invol-
untary bankruptcy proceedings
brought against the concern, and
of the claim that a confession OF
Judgment in behalf of a creditor
named j. S. ellis was in the ma
ture of a preference. Out OF
this confession of judgment grew
a seizure, on an order of the dis
trict court made by the sheriff of
Grant parish. Hence, there will
be two writs of seizure covering
the same property.
1t is claimed that the Clear
Creek Lumber Company got into
difficulties several weeks ago,
closing down its mill, near Pol
lock, on September l. Between
so, 600 and 80, 900 feet of lumber
was left in the yards when the
plant ceased operating, and the
understanding was that the pro-
ceeds of the sale of this lumber
would be proportionately divided
among the creditors.
The plaintiffs in the bankrupt
cy case in the Federal court, in
Guiding H. l. Brian. former book
keeper, the Union Cash Store, of
Pollock, and about twenty labor
ers, claim that self styled" Off
GERS of the concern gave ellis an
illegal preference when they con-
fessed judgment in his favor.
These officers are j. T. Tracy,
