CHEER YOST, But
NOT HIS POLICY
Michigan Alumni Are Strong for
Their Football Coach and and
Also Summer Baseball

Judging from the way the Michigan
alumni received the speech OF Coach
Yost Of the Michigan football team at
their weekly luncheon at the Edel.
weiss cafe, Wednesday noon, they are
strong for Yost but not strong for his
policy OF stunning summer baseball. -
Yost defended the present policy OF
Michigan in barring from it's teens
baseball players who play for/money
in the summer
"AbOlishing the rule preventing
summer baseball is athletic suicide
for Michigan, said Coach Yost. at
means the harming OF our relations
with all other prominent universities.
II means that We set ourselves up "a
knowing more than all other universi.

athlete and that professional athletes
should be barred from participation
I'm university sports is an axiom sup
ported by years OF use and trial. I
feel strongly on this subje9 be.

Mans Corpse Badly Battered
and Pockets of Clothing Are
Turned Inside Out
VICTIM DRESSED
LIKE "LUMBERJACK''
Slugged, Robber and Thrown In
to Water, Is Coroner Roth
acher's Theory

The body OF man about 40 years
old, believed 10 be a German, was
found floating in the river of the
foot OF Chene-st.. shortly before 8
O'Clock. Wednesday morning, and Cor
oner Rothacher believes that the
man was slugged, robbed, and thrown
into the river, as the left arm was
broken, there was confusion over
the left eye, and all OF the pockets
In the mans clothing were turned In
side out.
The body had been In the river
about a week, the coroner thinks.
The crew OF a passing freighter dis
covered the body, and notified per.
sons on shore, through a megaphone
Grant King, who frequents the De
troit Lumber Co. docks, rowed out
and towed the body ashore
That the man may have been a
lumber jack who came TO town
with his pockets lined with his win
ter earnings, and fell In with thugs
is indicated by his clothing. he
wore corduroy trousers, tucked into
high laced boots, such as are worI
by the lumbermen, and a black shirt
and blue sweater. He had brown
hair. and was smooth-shaven,
THE fact that the pockets were al
turned inside out, and that the mar
had apparently been injured in 8
struggle indicates that he fell In with
a gang OF thugs and was robbed and
thrown into the river" says Coroner
Rothacher.
Police reports OF missing men show
no description tallying with that o.
the body, which was removed TO ths
county morgue.

Historic Fort McHenry.

The Linthicum Bill authorizing the
Secretary OF War to transfer the Historic
Fort McHenry, subject TO certain reser-
vations, 10 the City of Baltimore, passed
the House of Congress. No opposition
to the bill is expected in the Senate.
1t now goes to the Senate for consider
alton and passage. 1t provides that a
plot in the reservation 20 feet square may
be used by the Secretary of Commerce
for light and fog signal station this be-
ing an amendment added by the House
in response to request from Secretary
Redfeld, of the Department of Com
merce. The bill has the approval of
Secretary Garrison, of the War Depart
ment
The bill authorizes the Secretary of
War to grant permission to the Mayor
and City Council Of Baltimore to occupy
and use the Fort McHenry reservation as
a public park on agreement of the city to
repair, maintain and protect the reserva-
tion and public property there during the
city's occupancy at its own expense.
This permission is to be subject to such
conditions as the Secretary OF War may
prescribe
The Secretary may terminate the city's
use OF the park any time ne thinKS IL eX-
pedient All repairs and Improvements
to the reservation made by Baltimore City
must be approved by the Secretary. The
bill allows the Secretary of the Treasury
to use strip of land 90 feet wide belong
ing to the fort grounds, beginning at the
north corner OF the present grounds of
the fort and extending southeast of the
site set apart for the new Baltimore i'm
migration station.
This strip of land is located along the
northwest boundary of the land ceded to
the Baltimore Dry Dock Company and
the laud OF the immigration station. The
object of setting aside the strip of land is
to allow it to be used in connection with
land to be acquired from the Baltimore
and OHIO Railroad Company in giving
access by railroad tracks to the immigra-
ton station.

Helping States With Conserva-
ton.

President Wilson, 1t Is reported, takes
position with reference to the conserva-
ton of water power rights that will per-
nit the federal government and the states
10 work in concert and not in conflict
Without relinqushing any of the fed
eral control over navIgable interstate
streams that may be devoted to CONNER
clal power purposes, the President pro-
poses that the government assist the
states TO better control and more ade-
quate revenue by specifying the terms Of
power grants, mnking the most liberal
concessions in those states best equipped
with public utility laws to hold In check
any unjust extension of private enter
prise.
The tendency of such provision, it is
pointed out, will be to require states with
insufficient regulatlve laws to pass them.
One merit of the Presidents plan lies
in IFS retention OF national control while
permitting fair latitude to the states.
There may be some worshippers of the
states right fetish who will not be con-
tent with such compromise. but the
President understands what they wilfuIly
ignore. that continued national control is
indispensable in any organic program of

instances, is being done by the various

included in this budget amount to about
