TEN MILLION FUND IS
 SOUGHT BY UNIV. OF PENN.
Campaign is Planned to Provide For Future Expansion of Great
 University

Philadelphia, Feb. 22.-Plans for the future development of the Uni- vcrsity of Pennsylvania, which call for an endowment campaign of at least $l0,000, 1000, were outlined last night by President Josiah H. Penni- man in an address before the annual meeting of the general alumni society of the university.
 The program, which has been ap- proved by the board of trustees. pro- Nides for the expansion of the gradu- ate schools and departments of re- search; limitation of the number of students in the undergraduate schools and adequate teaching facilities for those admitted; curtailment of ele- mentary teaching so as to enable the best scholars and investigators to devote more time sto research and writing, and the erection of separate building for women students, thus eliminating cocducation in the under graduate schools.
 Dr. Penniman announced that the university was ready to proceed at once with the construction of the building for women under the terms of the will of the late Col. Joseph Bennett which bequeathed funds for q women's college.

 The revolutionists have prepared a decree inviting all residents of Mexico join them in opposing President Obre- gon.

 The motto of the reyolutionists has been changed from revolution and republic" to national sovereignty and constitution"
 Bulletins from the De La Huerta headquarters at Frontera say that an attack on Mexico City is planned some time in the ensuing week.

SORCERER'S DEATH ECHO
 OF EARLY PANATICISM
kal,una Had Two Purposes, First of Healing Sick and Second q De.
 stroying His Enemies

Honolulu, Feb. 22.-The ranks of the kahunas, or medicine men of old Hawaii, which have thinned steadily with the passing of the years since the white mans invasion of the islands with his accompanying civilization, have been depleted further by the re- cent death of Keenoowai, aged Ha- waiian, and one of the last of the ka- lunas at his home on the island of Molokai.
 In olden times the. purpose Of the kahuna was two-fold. Primarily his duty was to heal the sick. Secondarily, he would, for a consideration, pray to death the enemy of any of his pa- tients or patrons. To perform this feat successfully it was necessary that the kahuna have some portion of the body, or some article that had been next to the body of the person who was to be prayed to death. Usually this was a lock of hair. With this in his possession the kahuna. according to legend, would perform rites intend cd to result in the death of the enemy. The residents of the islands were so supersiitious that the work of the ka-

TWO VICTORIES ARE
 WON BY POINCARE
Match Monopoly Ended--E --ElectiOn
 Bill Test Vote
By Tine Associated Press.


 Paris, Feb. 22,-Pre micr Poincare won two victories yesterday in parlia- nient.
 By making every vote one Of confi- dence, the government succeeded in carrying Article 56 Of it's fiscal bill proposing 10 suppress the government monopoly in matches in the chamber by 565 to lSS. One-third Of the total humber Of articles in the bill now have been disposed Of, and il is not expected that those remaining will give much opportunity for long dis ,uSsion.
 In q test vote in the senate on the government election bill the cabinet was sustained by 50 against l34.
 The attack against the cabinet was the most. determined il had ever VN- rerienced. Its position is regarded as strengthened by the test vote, in spite of thes mall majority. There were eight abstentioas from voting. all the absentees being generally T. egarded us against the government.
 Determined to stand upon the cleo toral measure IS il was passed by the chamb of deputies and absolute m his refusal to entertain any compro- mise. the premier placed squarely be- fore the senate the responsibility of oyrthrowing him. He imposed his will upon the upper house and de- feated the most tremendous odds he has faced in parliament since he as sumed power.
 His supporters and opponents alike now say his battle is won, and there is little probability that he will fall before the next elections.
 The fight turned upon an amend ment providing that no deputy can be elected unless he has obtained q larger number of votes than his op- poncnt." Senator Peytral produced figures showing that according 10 the proportional representation plan as sponsored by the government, deputies were elected 70 the last lcgis- laturc who boiled thousands of votes loss than candidates on other lists.
 NJ. Poincare refused any compro- mise.
 We love and admire you" said Senator Rcne- Renouh, but don't force us tn vote against our con science and yoe."
 T ask tho senate to reject the amendment of NJ. reytrah" Mir. Poin- | care replied. There were times when the senate verbally showed it's disap- proral of the prcmicr's stand, but when it came To depositing tho bal ! lots tho majority fell into line behind 1 the man who enjoys perhaps greater i prestige in the country than any man 1 since the third republic was created. |

 Keekoowai was approximately 65a years old. He was one of the most, noted of the large band of kahunas who lived on Molokai and his infiu7. ence and reputation had extended tor the island of Oahu which he visited often. He was believed to be one of the last of his profession in the islands. f

man Adams apparently voiced ;he sentiment Of other officials of the na- tional committee. who have had sew cral conferences on the subject. It was indicated also that their views had been communicated to President Coolidge.
 We feel that the demand now for the resignation Of MT. DaDghSrty," said the chairman. without near ing or trial and in face only of fun supported charges, is absurd
 The sudden return of Senator Walsh caused much speculation at the capitol. He had planned 10 remain at Pinehurst until the end of this week. He denied that any Specific matter had occasioned q change in his plans. but said he had felt some anxiety over the trend the oil investi- gation had seemed to take in the past few days"
 Senator Walsh added, however, that the procedure followed by the com mittea during his absence was in ac- cord with program which he had approved before he left Washington last Sunday night.
 Immediately upon his return, he conferred with other members Of the committee and with Senator Wheeler to acquaint himself with the intimate details of events transpiring in his absence.
 4 subpoena will be issued for Harry r. Sinclair, Senator Walsh said, add ing that the possibility of the oil mag nate refusing to testify on the same ground as did Albert 5. Fall, had been given consideration. He said that if MT. Sinclair took that position, no attempt would be made to influence a change in his attitude.
 Discussing the public statement of Senator Elkins. republican, West Sir- ginia, that he had traded in Sinclair Cil stocks, Senator Walsh said the committees decision to await com plete examination of the brokers looks before following any individual "Icads," was q wise one.
 Tho Elkins Deal.
 It will be interesting to know. Sen ator Walsh said, not only the amount cf the oil shares purchased by Sena- tor Elkins, but also the proportion these bear to total orders handled from Washington at the same time and the dates of these transactions in relation to the dates of the oil leases. He took the position that the oil com mittee should not take the Daugherty inquiry into it's province unless exam ination of the brokers books showed definite transactions by the attorney general in the oil stocks which might indicate connection in point Of time with the oil lease negotiations.
