ganized in County.

There has been considerable
sentiment oppressed in this county

imais.

thusiastic meeting March 10 at Mt.
Pleasant where 300 school children
were present and heard the PROPOSE
tion discussed.
A number Of business men and
bankers Of this county realize the
value Of this work and have volun-
teered to cooperate with the Y. NJ
c. A., schools and Gratiot County
Farm Bureau in this work.
The farm boys and girls under
twenty years Of age who are inter
ested should come to Ithaca 10 q
county mass meeting to be held OF
March % at 100 o'clock at the ar
mory. Mr.. K. A Turner, State
leader Of boys and girls club work

through life. Mr.. McFadden Of tho
First State Bank is making arrange
ments for a meeting at Alma the
same night to organize club.
Any boy or girl who desires t.

COLLINS HEARING
TO Be CONTINUED
Prosecutor Has Rested and the
Defense VIII Call Witnesses
Saturday.

Following an all day session Sat
urday in which the prosecution pre-
sented evidence which it believes to
be sufficient 20 warrant the holding
Of Oscar Collins for trial on a charge
Of murder, the examination was con
tinued until Saturday morning,
March %, at $500 a. m. by John
Myers, Ithaca justice who is hearing
the examination, on the plea of Ro-
maine Clark, representing Collins.
Clark stated that he had some wit
nesses that he desired to call.
That the prosecution does not in
tend to tip it's hand any more than is
absolutely necessary in getting Col
lins bound over to circuit court TO
stand trial, has been made evident,
as the prosecution completed its case
by the use Of only four witnesses.
Evidently fearing that the defense
which has not yet given the slightest
.nkling of what methods it will take
in the attempt to keep Collins from
being bound over for trial. might at
tempt 90 show an alibi. the prosecu-
tion Saturday concentrated its ef-
forts TO prove that Oscar Collins,
was near the scene of the crime at
about the time that it is believed to
have taken place on Saturday night,
February 3, that he had the 6ppor-
tunity TO commit the crime, and that
he had made threats against Mrs.
Ellen Grove, the 28-year-old Alma
woman with whose death he is
charged.
The county authorities are conf
dent that they have already estab-
lished case strong enough 70 war
rant the binding Of Oscar Collins ov-
or to circuit court to stand trial, re-
gardless OF what steps the defense
may take this coming Saturday,
when the examination will be re-
sumed. It is believed that the de-
fense may attempt to prove an alibi
/ for Collins, but Prosecuting Attorney
/ Smith feels confident that if such
an attempt had been planned that il
/ has been blocked because Of the ma
ture of the evidence that was sub.

CAMPA|GNERS
GET RESULTS
College Drive for $4,000 Nets
S14,232.50 TO the En-
dOwment Fund.

II IS doubtful if Alma ever saw
better campaign than the student
faculty campaign at Alma College
last week in which the goal of
$4,000, set as the college share of
the endowment campaign, was passed
at the end Of the second day, and
left far behind before the campaign
was brought to an end with a total
of S14,232.5O subscribed to the fund,
every student and faculty member
joining hands in putting over the
campaign that yielded such wonder
full results, and established a new
national record for such campaigns
in colleges and universities.
The final tabulation Of the cam
paign shows that the students of the
college subscribed SS,1575O, and that
the members of the faculty pledged
SG,075.00. The Ss,157.50 was divided
among the four classes as follows
Seniors S1,425, Juniors 1885, Sopho-
mores S2,460 and Freshman class
S3,3775O.
1t had been considered as very
doubtful if the student-faculty cam
paign would reach the high quota
that had been set for them, and the
fact that it was so easily topped is
leading to the belief that the cam.
paign in Alma and Gratiot county
will also be received very enthusiast.
ically. and that it will be given won
derful support. Another reason why
this belief is entertained is the fac
that the success Of the campaign vii
not only supply the college with 1
gymnasium, and the college, city an
county, with a large auditorium, bu
that il will also furnish a living
useful memorial to the men who wen
from Gratiot county to serve thei
country in the late World War.

Texas democrat, was publicly rep

Then a moment later, as he
walked out of the chamber with
all eyes on him, he toppled over
in a heap. Some of his colleagues
who had voted to expel him,
picked him up and placed him on
a lounge. But he did not stay
there long. Rousing himself, he
stumbled out, tears streaming
down his cheeks. He was heard to
express the hope that he might
never see the house again.
There was no doubt, however, rs

experience of the day, an experi-

life of a man in congress. For an

fend himself from the charge that
he had transgressed the law by
putting into the Congressional

"unspeakably vile"
