Comes to Get Clothes
for Starving People
in Near East States

J. G.. McNeal, who has been sen,
to this city by the American COM
mittee for relief in the near east to
collect a car load of clothing for
destitute Armenians, stated Sunday
that but little progress had been
made in gathering the clothes up to
date.
"If the residents of this city could
only realize the conditions in Ar
menia. the clothing asked for could
be easily gathered" he stated.
More than half million orphans
under 10 years of age look to this
country for aid. Unless it is quick
ly forthcoming, they too will per-
ish. Already only 100000 Armeni-
ans of all sexes and ages remain of
the former 100000. The brutal
Turk, aided by pestilence and star
walton. has accounted for the diff
ference. The population has been
deported and slaughtered and the
industries of the country destroyed
as far as possible.
american relief committees have
been organized. Food is INSULT
cient in that unfortunate country,
and this country is trying to make
good that want. The need for
clothing is imperative. In fact, it is
almost unobtainable there at any
price. Anything is worn for cloth
ing"
Mr.. McNeal stated that any Kind
of clothing, if it can be worn at all,
will be acceptable. The Gordon
Van and Storage company has
agreed to freely send its trucks and
wagons for any old clothing which
the people of this city may desire
to give.
Blankets, quilts and sheets, also
old shoes are very much desired by
the committee.

of its members, that contracts for
the sale and delivery of grain sold
to its members do not expire until
cancelled by one party OF the con-
tract, cannot bind a seller of grain
who has no knowledge of such rule,
according to the opinion of the
state supreme court.
On July II, 1916, he Vincent Grain

English of Cheney was to sell the
company two cars of No. 2 wheat,

imately 5000. Defendant was un-
able to get his wheat threshed until
late in July. On August S he or
dered two cars, but the cars did not
arrive until August II. English
wrote the grain Company that ,he
had ordered the cars, and asked
them to do likewise. but that he had
only 1908 bushels of wheat. On the
2lst they wrote English that they
were still looking for the grain and
had extended the contract. The next
day they received word from the
railway company that English had
cancelled his order for cars and the
company purchased enough grain to
fill the contract. paying $1,4l2.69 in
excess for the same.

fact that the democratic party was

they recognized that if legislation
of the late republican legislature
was ever allowed to be put in force,
there would be little chance for the
democrats for controlling the state

as a purely self-preservation propo-

EXPECT INQUEST
IN DROWNING OF
3 iowa YOUTHS
Accident on Saturday Was
First Since Building Of
Reservoir Nearly 40
Years Ago.

Coroner Cutler is expected to or
der an inquest to place the respop-
sibility for the death of Frank
Bishop, Tracy Rex Boot and Willie
Kilibardo, the three boys who Sat-
urday evening drowned in the Fair
mount park reservoir.
1t was the first accident that has
occurred at the reservoir since it
was built nearly 40 years ago. The
big basin is protected by stout
wire fence that rises four feet above
the stone coping that forms the rim
of the reservoir, making it more
than six feet high. For years there
was no fence at all around the basin
and then only small frail protec-
ton was provided. When the
reservoir was rebuilt*and enlarged
by the city the substantial protec-
ton now there was installed.
The draining of the big basin was
not completed until after 4 o'clock
Sunday morning and the work of
refilling it did not commence until
last evening. 1t will not be filled
until this afternoon.
Chairman Jensen and Superin-
tendent Etnyre took advantage of
the opportunity to install the fine
central fountain that had been pur-
chased. 1t is burst of water that
rises to- a height of 80 feet in the
center of the basin and covers a
surface area of nearly 90 feet. 1t
has IS jets, one central perpendicu-
lar and II radials, six spraying at
an angle of IS degrees and six hor-
izontal. The pressure is secured
from the Charles street tower. In
addition to adding greatly to the
beauty the big spray helps to aerate
the water in the main basin. 81

Editor OF Tho Diamon Drill
In your issue OF last week read Mr.
Moriarty's suggestion that Mr.. Chase
-. Osborn be appointed president Of
the University. wish that you
would give me a little space for com
ment on that suggestion, az l have
strong conviction concerning 1t.
some weeks ago there appeared In
one OF the Detroit papers a column
or 80 OF opinions and views ascribed
to Mr. Osborn They were directed
chiefly against the regents, about
whose qualifications ! knew nothing,
but the remarks also condemned the
professors, who because OF salaries
more attractive. have left Michigan
for other universities, and who, In
Mr. Osborn's opinion. proved them
selves moro or less venal by 30 doing.
To paraphrase the oppression en-
ployed by Mr. Osborn. such profess
sors are unworthy OF their calling.
II is extremely difficult 70 under

worthiness. When over all the coun-
try salaries are being increased In
practically every calling. should Uni
versity OF Michigan professors alone

costs OF living by remaining in Ann

him to employ additional teachers
offer only the salaries paid by the
smaller colleges at which the teach
ers are az the time employed. or win
! attempt 20 corrupt the professors
BY Offering them salaries higher than
those which the smaller schools are

Any person who will devote TO the
subject the time necessary for a
clear understanding OF the past and
present financial status OF our Uni
versIty OF Michigan professors, will
reach the inevitable conclusion that
they have too long -shamefully too
long-been compelled TO struggle a.
long on salaries that are disgraceful
reflections, not only on the governing
authorities of the University. but also
on the State OF Michigan.
Mr.. Moriarty, in twenty words, has
prescribed an excellent specific for
the chief ailment from which the Uni
versity Is now suffering He says.
"The University must attract back to
It's faculty the great thinkers and in
structors that it has been losing OF

whole case. however. for only by i'm

the comforts which other universities
are willing 20 give them.
Mr.. Moriarty also says that there
have been times when no has OPP
posed Mr.. Osborn for public positions,
because OF the latter's tempermental
unntness for the Offices. In view of
Mr.. Osborn's erprcsaed opinion,
namely. that professors OF Michigan
ought to be paid less than other in
stitutions are willing TO pay them,
how can Mr. Moriarty propose for the
OF the University man
whose declared policy will make
deeper and moro unacceptable the
present rut from which Mr.. Moriarty
wants 10 sec the University with

Is not the product OF logic; therefore,
