soon as news was received from
Philadelphia that he had announced
his intention to resign.
The resignation had not been re-

ing for it, Major General John A.
Iajeune. commandant of the corps,
got in touch with him by telephone
and asked him to come here for a
conference.
The commandant intends to urge
General Butler to remain in the serv-
ice. The latter did not indicate
whether he would recall his resig-
nation but agreed to come here in
a day or two to discuss the matter.
General Lejeune said he could not
consider with equanimity the
thought of General Butler leaving
the corps because of his long friend
ship for him and the value of his
services.
The resignation. if insisted upon,
will be transmitted to Secretary Will
bur with a recommendation by Gen.
era1 Lejeune, and in turn sent to the
White House by the secretary with
a recommendation. The presiden-
tial custom has been to accept resig-
nations of marine corps or navy off,

the chief officers of the department.

HOPES DW|NDLE
FOR DEMPSEY-W|LLS
BOUT IN MICHIGAN

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 22.-(AP) -
Prospects for championship fight in
Michigan between Jack Dempsey and
Harry Wills f1ared up brightly few
minutes today and then ffzzled into
complete dud.
A Mackinac Island hotel owner
wrote the attorney general request
ing an opinion as to whether the pro,
posed ten round bout could be helo
there, presumably next summer. c.
cording to his letter, the match was
to be promoted by Floyd Fltzsih,
mons. and about all that was neeoeo
to make the affair certain was tne
sites approval. Governor GroesbecR
took a hand in the matter by statlng
that the fight will not be countenahc-
ed in this state.
s"rhese championship fights are
lust auctioned around among the
states to shake down the pupnc, ne
said. He wondered whether Macklnac
island would do any better TOWARD
making expenses than Shelby, MONT.
Some time ago, the governor an
nounced that no championship OF
outdoor arena fights would be allow.
ed in Michigan. In fact he intlmated
that with very few exceptions. match
nermits would be granted only 10
American Legion posts or similar or
carnations. This rule still STANDS,
the governor said.

Opposition Grows
To Appointees to
Int. Com. Commission

Washington, Dec. 22-(AP)-While
the White House day was explain
ing President Coolidge's course in
making his appointments to the in
terstate commerce commission, OPP
position to his appointees continued
to grow in the senate.
The White House described as a
mistake the supposition that the. ap-
pointment of Richard V. Taylor of
Alabama, was in exchange for SOU
thern emocratic support for Thomas
F. Woodlock of New York, now serv-
ing under a recess appointment after
his nomination had been opposed
successfully at the last session by
the senators from the south.
The nomination of Mr.. Taylor, sent
to the senate yesterday along with
that of Mr.. Woodlock, was said at
the White House to have been made
with the endorsement of Senators
Underwood and Heflin of Alabama.
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
former Democratic chairman of the
senate interstate commerce commit.
tee, was not consulted, it was added,
because he was absent from the city.
The Taylor and Woodlock nomina-
tons have been referred to a senate
committee which will defer action
until after the Christmas holidays.
They will be opposed both in the
committee and on the senate floor.
Administration leaders are hopeful
but not oversanguine that confirma-
ton could be obtained.

Ulrich Zwingli Bible
Found in Library

Lancaster, Pa. Dec. 22.-(AP)-A
copy of one of the rarest Bibles in
the world-the Ulrich Zwingli Bible
the printing of which is said to have
taken four years. has been discovered
in the library of the Reformed Theo-
logical Seminary here.
The Bible, according to its title
page. was printed by Christopher
fore that time the first section of the
volume. which is in six sections, was
printed. The text was compiled by
Zwingli and several other preachers of
Zurich who were associated with him,
and a greater part of the German
text was translated from the Latin
by Martin Luther. The Bible, ac-
cording to historians, at the time of
its publication corresponded to the
popular-priced editions of today.
Two of the features of the book are
the illustrations and the arrangement
of the text. For example the Book
of Acts is placed after the Epistle of
ST. Paul, instead of before as is the
Bibles. The majority of the illustra-
tions are wood cuts and the charac-
ters are depicted in the dress of
knights and monks of the 18th CEN
fury. In but a few places are the
characters pictured in Biblical dress,
as is the case in illustrating the mod
ern editions.
A copy of the second edition, pub
lished in 1851, also was found in the
library.
