Detroit, April 9-Henry Ford de-
clared the result Of the presidential
preference primary in which he de-
feated United States Senator Smith
by more than 5000 was a victory for
peace, rather than for himself.
He interpreted it as meaning that a

Ames, May "a. The controversy
over the establishment Of moving

and it appears that the amusement
house will be opened despite the pro-
tests Of the faculty of the college. The
business and residential sections of the
Fourth ward are growing and the
move to open a theater brought vigor-
Gus opposition from the college au-
thorities. .. ,@.- = y
Residents of the Fourth ward at a
mass melting in ChampIins hall named
committee to draw up resolution
favoring the establishment of moving
picture houses in that ward. This ac-
ton came at 1880 following over three
hours of debate and argument in
which college deans and faculty menu
bers went on record as opposed to the
picture houses in the Fourth ward. be-
cause they believed they would prove
a distraction to the students, and BUSH
ness men and property owners of the
Fourth ward went on record as favor
ing moving picture houses because
they did not believe they would be
any more Of a distraction from studies
than they now are and because they
believed the Fourth ward should have
amusement and recreation privileges
equal to those enjoyed by other wards
OF the city. When vote was taken on
