ALBION PRESIDENT Y
 RESIGNS POSITION
Complaint of Co-Ed About Min
 ister's Actions Supported

DETROIT, Jan. 21.-Dr. John V. Laird, who fled from chapel at Albion college Friday before barrage of stu dents hymnbooks and misses, resigned as president of the college late Monday. His resignation was accepted by the board of trustees after an investigation of charges against Laird brought by the student body.
 Albion students indorsed the charges Monday and the document was rushed to the trustees investigation here. These charges included indiscreet con- duet, misrepresentation of his college degrees, indiscretion in condolences with students, lack of academic cour- tesy, incompetency in handling student problems and in understanding student psychology.
 The report also found "a sentiment on the campus that there is a lack of sincerity in President Laird's religious leadership"
 The report supported the complaint of Vera TOmlinson, q student, who claims she was expelled from college because she told Bishop Henderson of the presidents alleged advances to- ward her and not the fact that she was said to have drank and smoked at student party.

ters for Sinclair, and his loyalty to his employer had caused him uneasiness when he thought that he might be called upon by the committee to dis close some of the information. He had first learned of Sinclair's intention to go to Europe on January 4, he ex- plained, and it was at that time, he asserted, that he decided to talk mat ters over with Archie Roosevelt. Dur ing their conversation the witness de- clared he had made some reference to the foreman of the Fall ranch having paid him $1 400 for cattle.
 Mir. Roosevelt indicated to me that he felt there was something wrong about the Teapot Dome deal,' Wahl- berg said, "and that he thought could prove it. It was after l had given the r attersthought 1 called Mir. Roosevelt on the telephone to tell him that could not prove it and that was the reason for my second telephone talk with him."
