GEN. STEPHAN NAMED
CITY CLUB PRESIDENT
Eight Members Also Elected to
Board of Governors in
Keen Competition.

Maj Gen. Anton Stephan was elect.
ed president of the City Club at the
annual election, held at the clubhouse,
on G street, last night.
Although the nominees for officers
were unopposed, election of the eight
members of the board of governors
was held in doubt until a late hour
through failure of the tally clerk to
include the name of one of the can
didates, and a recount was necessary
to determine the successful nominee.
Plenty of rivalry existed for places on
the board.
Those elected besides Gen. Stephan
were: First vice president, Edward A.
Brashears; second vice president, Ru-
dolph Jose; treasurer. T. Lincoln

er, Harry S. Carroll, George T. Clag-

With Students.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 24.-Dr. Fayette
A. Mckenzie, president of Fisk Uni
Versity Nashville, who recently
clashed with the negro student body
and alumni over his administration
policies, has rendered his resignation
to the board of trustees to take effect
at the close of the fiscal school year
August 81. it was announced yester-
day.
The resignation was accepted at a
meeting here of the board of trustees.
DIR. Mckenzie was voted an extra
years salary to permit him to take
a vacation.
No successor is being considered,
but the opinion is general he will be
another white man. No expressed
sentiment exists among the students
or alumni for the selection of negro
president, it was said.
Follows Bitter Row.
DR.. McKenzies resignation was the
elimination of a bitter controversy.
Last February the male students
started demonstration on the
campus in protest against disciplinary
measures invoked by the president.
Members of the senior class were ar
rested and imprisoned, charged with
melting a riot.
They were given suspended hneS In
the police court the next day and a
few hours later We're expelled from
the university.
The student body showed its dis
approval of the suspension by going
on strike. While some returned, the
enrolment has been comparatively
small since the incident.

yesterdays disaster at the Merle
bach mine, in Lorraine, were

new YORK WOMAN

New York, March 27.-In a tiny
apartment in the Little Ghetto of
Greenwich Village, detectives today
found the mutilated body Of Amelia
Cassenlia, 25, . maker Of artificial
flowers.
She lay amid a profusion Of the
waxen blossoms, her body extended
beside a cradle where her baby gurgled
as it clutched a make-believe lily.
A terrific struggle had preceded the
young woman's death. Scarcely IS
minutes after neighbors heard screams
issuing from the tiny apartment into
the din of the Village, detectives
crowded into the place.
In that brief time Mrs. Cassenlia
had been nearly decapitated, as though
with an axe. Seven ugly knife
wounds had been inflicted in her back
and her slayer had escaped without
leaving any Immediately apparent
clues.
Neighbors had seen her at a nearby
shop only a half hour earlier. light
heartedly gossiping as she bought sup
per for her husband, Daniel, who had
not yet returned from the Bronx piano
factory where he worked.
She told how many roses, lilies and
carnations she had made that day, to
exc out the income her husband earn
ed. She became enthusiastic over the
fact that her baby had taken it's first
toddling steps this very morning. She
could hardly wait for Daniel to reach
home to tell him the news, she said.
Detectives took nearly a score of
the slain woman's friends to headquar-
ters for questioning, but without gain
ing a single clue to the identity Of the
murderer.
All knew Of her as a supremely hap
py wife. None knew on any clandes-
tine love affair that might have Gull
minated SO tragically.
A brightly polished hatchet found
in the Cassenlia kitchen was taken to
be photographed for possible finger
prints that might betray the slayer.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Burton X. Wheeler of Montana, In
dependent vice presidential candi-
date last fall; Edwin S. Booth, for
mer solicitor for the interior de =
partment, and Gorden Campbell, a
Montana oil operator, were charged
in an indictment returned by a
grand jury here today with conspir-
acy to obtain illegal use and possess
sion of government oil land.
The grand jury which has had be-
fore it for two months an investiga-
tion of the granting of oil land leases
to Campbell and his associates, ter
minated its proceedings today. SEN
ator Walsh of Montana, Attorney for
Mr.. Wheeler, arranged for arraign-
ment and placing of a 81 900 bond
for his client. The defendant sena-
tor issued a statement expressing
surprise that an indictment had been
found and predicting that when
the case comes to trial the public
will be convinced of my complete
innocence. Neither of the other de-
PENDANTS was in the city. Mr.. Booth.
like Senator Wheeler, appeared as q
witness before the grand jury in it's
proceedings, and waived Immunity.
Senator Wheeler's statement said
the only evidence brought to his at
tention when he went before the
grand jury as a witness was the
same as the evidence presented to
the Borah committee, which investi-
gated the charges against me-" The
committees report to the senate on
this investigation cxonerated Sena-
tor Wheeler.
The full charge on which the in
dictment was based was set forth in
a 20 page document presented by
the jury. Campbell, it said. induced
various persons to enter claims for
lease of government land, the leases
of which were to be assigned for the
benefit of the three men charged
with conspiracy. The conspiracy
was said to have existed between
April, 1920. and January, 1924.
A time for trial was not fixed dur
ing proceedings today, but govern
ment counsel do not expect the cases
to be taken up Immediately. Sena-
tor Wheeler indicted in Montana, a
year ago, on the charge of represent
ing Campbell before the department
of interior, for a fee in oil lease
matters after his election to the sem
ate, is scheduled to go to trial April
IL in that state.

Publishers Protest
U. S. Regulation on
NeWsprint Paper

Washington, March 27.-Renewed
protests by publishers against a
treasury regulation defining standard
newsprint paper were presented at a
two-hour hearing today before Assist
ant Secretary Moss. The publishers
argument failed to settle the. long
standing question today, however, and
another hearing was arranged for
April II.
In a decision handed down in Au-
gust, 1923, Secretary Mellon prescrib-
ed the standard newsprint paper as
consisting of mechanically ground
pulp and chemical wood pulp or sui
phite containing not in excess Of 30
per cent. sulphite. and varying In
weight not more than 10 per cent.
from 80 pounds for 500 sheets of "a
by SO inches" This. it was thought
at that time, would permit free entry
under the tariff act for all paper act
ually used in the publication of news
papers and compel assessment of du-
ties against various other forms.
The publishers representatives de-
clared today that the 10 per cent. toll
erance from the 32-pdund average
was too great and suggested 4 limi-
tation Of per cent
