PACIFIST RESOLUTION
DENIED BY STUDENTS
Sponsor of Meeting Admits Anti
War Gathering Was Not Called
Officially.
ONE ANGER EXPRESSED
Second Session Fails to Take ANY
Action.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, January l.
Denial that the student volunteer
movement convention was in any way
connected with or responsible for a
student mass meeting here Sunday
which adopted ''non-resistance res
olution" was made in signed state
ment issued by leaders in the gather
ing.
THE meeting was purely individ-
ual and had nothing to do with the
student volunteer movement conven-
tion," it was asserted. The statement
was signed by Howard p. Becker, a
student at Northwestern University.
The mass meeting, which was at
tended by many convention delegates
who had misinterpreted it's purposes,
adopted a resolution calling upon the
students of America" to pledge them
selves on Armistice day, 1924, to
prosecution of war. either directly or
indirectly"
Regret for Meeting.
Becker who is an accredited dele
gate to the volunteer convention, de-
clared in his statement that the ir-
regular announcement of the mass
meeting from the convention floor is
deeply regretted"
Eight of those in charge of the
informal meeting regret there has
been misunderstanding concerning its
scope, and take this means of setting
the matter straight" Becker declared.
The meeting, Becker'S statement
continued, was not representative of
any particular group or section of the
convention but was gathering of
those interested in discussing war
from the viewpoint of non-resistance.
The actions taken are not to be con-
sidered as rejecting the sentiment of
the convention but only of the in
dividuals attending this particular
gathering.
The wording of the resolution re-
garding non-resistance is unfortu-
nate in that it might create the i'm
preston that 1T was passed by their
student body.
The meeting was not held in de-
fiance of the wishes of the business
committee of the convention, it was
declared, but was announced on the
convention floor, owing to ignorance
of the rules
"There was no effort made by the
convention to suppress the meeting
or the discussion. An announcement
of another meeting for a discussion
through regular channels, in accord
ance with the rules of the conyen-
tion adopted by the students them
selves and was granted"
The call for the second meetin q
was announced from the convention
platform this morning by the presil-
ing officer. Only a fed attended the
meeting held this afternoon and no
action was taken. Resentment of the
Sunday action was vigorously ay-
pressed by student delegates in their
formal discussion groups this after
noon.
Becker signed his statement az a
member of the National Student
Forum.

BERKELEY, Calf, December 81
VIII the population Of the world ever
increase to such numbers that the food
suppy will run out? mo" predicts
Prof. c. c. Plehn of the department of
economics in the University of CaIifor-
mia.
But the professor qualities his mega
tive by saying that If the population Of
the world ever increases as fully as it
has the power to. there certainly will
be a shortage of food. He explains
that, as a matter Of statistics, this
probably never can happen, since events
and conditions always intervene to pre-
vent overpopuiation.
Yet, he comedies, in certain coun-
tries this economic overpopulation has
occurred. He cites the annual famines
in China and India, which, he contends,
are due to the fact that the birth rate
never has been kept down in those
countries and consequently the food
supply proves inadequate.

SAYS World WILL NEVER ST4RVE.
DESPITE POPULATION INCREASE

dread diseases always follow
famine in the train of excessive popula-
tion and shortage of food" the pro-
fessor points out, and he states fur
ther that as population increases the
land is proportionateiy overworked.
I'm America, especially, population
has always been held in check. People
are made to realize the Importance of
keeping balance between the popula-
tion and the food supply. Farmers
manage to produce, enough food to
satisfy everybody, even though agri-
cultural methods improve more slowly
than the population increases. The
machinery for getting food is increas
ing steadily, so that, although popula-
tion tends to increase more rapidly
than food. there never will be danger
of food giving out"

ROMERO ROJAS
 KAYOES SHARKEY

BOSTON, August 29.-Quintin Ro- mero-Rojas, Chilean heavyweight, turn ed battle that was gonig against him into victory tonight by knocking out Jack Sharkey of this city, until few months ago the heavyweight pride of the United States navy. The blow that sent Sharkey down was a swinging right hook to the jaw in the closing seconds of the eighth round. The bell rung with Sharkey sprawled on the floor. He came up for the ninth round, but fell across the ring in a futile at tempt to stand up.
 Sharkey, although lacking seven pounds of the giant Chilean's 195, sent in some stiff punches during the bout and outscored Romero in at least five of the eight rounds.
 Romero came up for the eighth round with a right hook that opened Shar- keys nose. The Bostonian jabbed away at him but obviously was tiring. Romero rushed in with hook and straight-arm, pressing Sharkey against the ropes. A letf to Sharkey's ear, right to the body, and another left to the shoulder preceded the right hook to the sailors jaw.
 Sharkey was down for a count of seven when the bell saved him tenn porarily. His seconds worked over him frantically and lifted him to is feet for the start of the next round Jnly to see him fall flat.

HOLLTNGSWORTH '
 JOINS BROOKLYN

NEW ORLEANS, August a. John Hollingswor New Orleans star pitcher, and one of the 'aces,' of the Southern association; this season, whose sale to the Brooklyn Nationals was an. nornced several weeks ago, left here today to join tIie Robins.
 Decision to deliver the pitcher at this time was in response to the virtual declaration of the Brooklyn club that it would have an excellent chance of winning the National league pennant if his services were available immediately. Tie Robins gave New Orleans $15,00O cash and it is understood will send her Nelson Greene, a pitcher recently, pIlr- chased from Little Rock. Greene would be loaned to the Pelicans for the bal ance of this season. Pitcher Frank Henry had already been sent to New Orleans in part payment for Hollings- worth.
 Hoilingsworth has won % and lost H. games this season for the Pelicans and is the leading pitcher of the circuit. He has 129 strikes to his credit in 25S innings. His passes to first numbered 1O5 and he allowed 204 hits, Opposing teans scored S2 runs. Hollingsworth had this season one string of nine games games won in a row. He came to New Orleans from Washington in a trade which sent Pitcher Joe Martina from the Pelicans to the Senator's.

WOMAN HOLDS ARCTIC
 WEATHER POST

Uncle Sam's farthest north
 weather station, at Point Bar row, on the shores of the Arctic
 Ocean, is in charge of a wom-
 an, Mrs. Mollie Ward Greist,
 who makes daily observations and four or five times a year sends reports to the outside world by dog team, Coast Guard cutter or trading steam CT.
 Mrs. Greist is the wife of Dr. Greist of the Presbyterian Mis- sion Hospital at Point Barrow. Since 1920 she has been Uncle Sam's top-of-the-world weath- CT observer where she makes reports on the aurora borealis and sun dogs, technically known as parbeila, seen in Arc tic skies following extreme re- fraction of the air. From three to five suns may frequently be seen, explorers report.
 Mrs. Greist makes daily ob- servations and complies month ly reports which are sent out of the Far North three times in winter and once or twice in summer. The Weather Bureau hopes to have a government radio station established at Point Barrow which would en- able Mrs. Greist to make daily of conditions near the top of the world. The next station south of Point Barrow is at Noorvik, on the lower Kobuk river. There is a signal corps radio station at Noorvik which sends weather observations to the outside word twice a day.

THIRD FAIRBANKS
 MCGRATH AIR MAIL
 FLIGHT SUCCESSFUL

The third of the series of trial airmail flights between Fair banks and McGrath was sue cessfully negotiated by A ATiator Eielson a few days ago. Leav- ing Fairbanks at $50 in the morning, Eielson arrived at Me Grath at II: 80, meanwhile stopping for fifteen minutes at Nenana, leaving his actual flying time on the outbound trip 2 hours, 35 minutes, the fastest yet achieved. The wind being in his favor, Eielson av- eraged 120 miles an hour be- tween Fairbanks and Nenana. From Nenana to McGrath his average was about 112 miles per hour. On the return trip Eielson left McGrath at l 80 D. m. with fine weather, but on reaching the flats below Ne mana he encountered 9 wind and had rather bumpy ride for a half hour or so before coming in sight of Nenana, which he passed at 4:47 and arrived at Fairbanks landing field at 5:20. His time on the return trip was 3 hours, 50 minutes.

 standing n readiness for ex-
 traction at any time. Samples from the richest section of the
 vein show generous quantities of gold and native silver. Re. cent assays are said to have given returns of more than
 $500 per ton. It is currently re- porte1 that the mine can be sold for large figures any time the owners say the word, sever- al tentative offers having been made by interested parties dur ing recent days. The manage ment, however, has decided to work the property and has flat ly refused all attempts at pur- chase, according to the reports.
