THE VARSITY TIMES


American flag should be flown from
the flagpole on the campus. Both
freshmen and sophomores agreed
that the fagpole would not be used
TO carry class colors.
A favorite stunt in the past has
been to run up a class flag, cut the
ropes and smear the pole with
grease. These pranks made it I'M
possible to allow the American flag
to be displayed, causing quite a lit

LYNCH NEGRO
AFTER ATTACK

ROCKFORD, Ga, March 3.-An 'un-
identified negro who confessed to
attacking IA year old girl near
here was lynched late yesterday
about 1-2 miles from ROCKFORD.
He was captured after chase last
ing nearly the entire day and was
wounded in the back with a rifle
shot.
The negro was burned at the stake.
He was brought back to the scene
of his crime and identified by his
victim. He was then carried to a
field where brush and wood were
piled about his manacled form and
after gasoline had been applied to
his clothing, the wood was set on
fire.
The victim uttered but faint out
cries and was stoical throughout the
experience. There was little dis
order.

Appropriations Committee
Hears Requests From De-

BEFORE THE HOUSE

The state departmental budget bill,
fixing salaries and expenditures in
the state capitol, was before the
House appropriations committee last
night. and a lengthy hearing was
conducted. Heads Of departments
appeared to explain budget requests.
The appropriations for the state
departments must run long gaunt-
let. First, the Budget Board, which
met for two months prior to the op-
ening of the legislature, went over
requests for appropriations and
agreed upon a report.
The budget recommendations in
the form of bills, have since gone
through the Senate appropriations
committee and fight on the floor
Of the Senate. The measure now
comes out of the House committee
and must pass on the floor of the
House. If there is difference be-
tween the House and Senate a final
settlement must come in the appro-
priations committees of the two
bodies.

DON'T WORRY
Mr.. COOLIDGE
Washington Is Quiet on the
Eve of Inauguration of
Executive
DAWES IS CALLER

Washington, March 3.-In a set
ting that reflected but dimly the
snowy splendor that has shown upon
inaugural history for century and
more the American government
brought to completion today it's plan
to install a new national administra-
tion at noon tomorrow.
Everything considered, it was the
quietest March 3 Of any Inaugural
tion year that Washington has seen in
many a decade. The ceremonies to-
morrow will be somewhat more ex-
tended than those of four years ago
when President Harding ordered that
the whole inauguration be attended
by utmost simplicity but on that oc-
casion the impending change of gov
ernment stirred the capitol to high
pitch of expectation and brought here
a tremendous crowd of spectators.
Avenue Barren
Today the wide avenue of the cap
itol was almost barren of pre-inaug-
ural crowds and only few scattered
reviewing stands and profusion of
red, white and blue which draped
almost every building along the line
Of tomorrow's abbreviated parade ev-
idenced the near approach of an
other Inauguration day.

Coolidge was little buster than or

ors and keeping pace with the fever

but he went about "doing the days
work" according to the motto he
long ago adopted as his watchword
Of public service, without apparent
thought of the morrow.
Dawes Comes
One of those who called OH the
president was Charles G. Dawes of
Chicago, the soldier statesman who
in another % hours will become the
nations second in command. Fol-
lowing his celebrated dipper pipe on
a trip about the capitol to renew old

BY NEA Service
Paris, March 3.-Montmartrc isn't
exactly church community, but
there is one Biblical passage with
which it is intimately familiar. The
recent notice paid to Lieutenant Os-
borne c. Wood, son of Governor Cen
eral Leonard Wood of the Philip
pines, reminded the Quarter again,
and it reads:
"The younger son, gathered all to-
gcther and took his, journey into a
far country and there wasted his
substance with riotous living. And
/; when he had spent all, he began
to be in want
There is variation in the wording
as the, story proceeds, for the Bible
reports that the prodigal son says
|'I will arise and go to my father"
Lieutenant Woods comment is:
swell, put me in, Jail. Maybe then
the old man will come through"
Paris has been the far country for
thousands of young sons of America,
and none of them has wasted his
substance on living more riotous
than Lieutenant Wood. While il
lasted he was the talk of the town.,
from Ciro's and the New York Bar
to the lesser known, more cozy and
equally expensive haunts of the fes
tive elect.
Flushed with stock market win
nings, the young officer got out of
the army q. year ago. Following
tips cabled from Wall Street he had
run up q fortune estimated as high
as $2.OO0,OoO. A little later he was
said to have made killing" in u.

100000. These reports of specula-
tions were no political asset to the

The State Senate was expected this
afternoon to reconsider the vote by
which appropriation bills providing
state aid for bridges at Sanish and
Williston we're indefinitely postpon-
ed, and the bills were expected to
be laid on the table for future ac-
ton, as were the Fargo and Des
Lacs bridge bills yesterday.
With this action taken, the Sen
ate was expected to await action of
the House on several measures, par
ticularly bills appropriating money
for the University of North Dakota
and North Dakota Agricultural Col
lege. The action of the House on the
gasoline tax bill, appropriations for
agricultural fairs and the state bud
get also may somewhat guide the
final action of the Senate with re-
ference to the bridge bills. The two
educational institution appropriation
bills still are in committee:
The Senate position is, it is under
stood, that if the House is "fair"
with the educational institutions in
appropriation measures, it is ready
to pass bridge bills, but if there is
to be an attempt at economy by
slashing the educational institutions,
the Senate will take the position that
the economy should extend to cut
ting out of bridge appropriations.
The House leaders take the posi-
tion that the Senate action can make
no difference with appropriations, al
though it has been limited that the
educational institution bills may be
treated in accordance with the way
the Senate treats the bridge bills.
A deadlock and settlement Of the
matter by conference is probable.
The biennial attempt to empower
cities and villages to levy a tax for
band concerts, upon majority vote,
failed in the House of Representa-
tives today. The bill, which had
passed the Senate. failed in the
House, receiving 4s ayes to Sc noes.
The Senate appropriations commit
tee had restored an item of $4,000
for new Auditorium at the Minot
Normal, and hot fight was expected
on this in the Senate.
The House, during its morning
session today, cleaned up several
bills of minor Importance. The Sen
ate bill providing tax on dogs was
indefinitely postponed, IS to AZ, and
may possibly be revived.
A bill was passed providing that
when a deposit has been made in
bank in the name of two persons,
and one dies, it may be withdrawn
by the other; bill was passed
amending the statute governing the
state training school at Mandan to
bring the parole practice up to pre-
sent-day methods, and measure
was enacted providing that a for
