MOST OF FATALITIES RESULT ED FROM SUFFOCATTON
 MANY JUMPED

DETROIT, Sept, 20, (Pl-Six- teen persons were killed and more than 50 are in the hospi- tals from injuries suffered in a 3 fire which destroyed the Study Club, night club on the edge of the downtown theater district.
 One hundred and 30 patrons and 40 employees were in the club when flames broke thru the wall on the first floor and swept up the main stairway cutting of the only means of egress.
 Before the inmates were aware ot the real danger smoke and flames were upon them; a cig- arette girl was suffocated by the hot fumes as she stood in the center of the dance floor and dropped down over her tray.
 Many of the patrons rushed for safety to small dressing rooms seven by Is feet in the rear of the building. Thirty of them were found piled unconscious when firemen broke into the rooms; several were dead and others badly injured.
 The interior of the building were ruined but, except for brok- en windows and the fire escape which hangs useless and a mock cry to those who ventured to trust it. the exterior was undamaged
 Owners of the place blamed rivals in business for the blaze The Study Club has been run ming for about a year and was prospering. A fireman who tried to enter through windows found that they had been boarded ur on the inside.
 Seven women, five unidentified were killed and nine men. one unidentified. The victims of most of the fatalities resulted from suffocation Identification is hard because of the charred condition of the bodies and the disfigure- naent which follows suffocation
 Some of the patrons founo their way to the fourth flool and were rescued; others bel coming panicky jumped suffer ing broken limbs. The fire came at the peak of the night busi- ness after the theaters had clos ed.

 HITS ARDENT DRYS
Tarr Says Wilson Does Cause
 More Harm Than Good

Lynn. Mass. April 24 CP)- Ardent drys frequently do the cause of prohibition more harm than good. '. s. Attorney Frederick H. Tarr told the inter-county institute Of the W. C. T. U. here yesterday.
 Tn his address, Tarr attacked Rev. Clarence True Wilson. general secre- tary of the Methodist board Of tenn perance, prohibition and public morals.
 There are many prominent advo- cates of pronibition who do the cause no good" he said. they are prompted by desire for the front page rather than for service. One of the most striking examples of this class is the reverend gentleman who spoke 10 days ago near Boston a. the New England conference of a certain church.
 This speech and other speeches like 1t hinder substantial progress toward law enforcement more than countless violations of the law
 III HIS IsLtill dl4iS AN'F' W Ai-oA' criticized judges who did not tm- pose maximum penalties on liquor law violators. Tarr. in attacking VII son for his st1tement, said 1t was not necessary for him to come 10 the defense of the judges but such statements will tend to break down all respect for law
 If there is to be respect for laW and order can it be maintained by such wholesale and vicious attacks on the courts and constituted au- thority? The courts are under at' tack by the criminals who suffer bJ their Judgments.
 'Ls it wise for clergymen 10 joi' the cry and SOW seeds of suspicion and distrust and contempt in order to overthrow the very structure or which We depend for safety9' Such attacks. he said. give colo to the claim that the forces benin the prohibition law are intemperate rarrow-minde1 fanatics who hay no judgment, no vision. no heart, nt intelligence. and whose main pur pose n life is to condemn, to de :, stroy and to punish"

Interstate Commission to Rule
 On Gasoline Freight Rates

Hartford. April 24 (UP)-Wheth CT or not Connecticut motorists will enjoy lower gasoline and oil prices rested today with the interstate commerce commission.
 Counsel for the state argued for lower freight rates for transporsa- ton of petroleum products from the Philadelphia and Bayonne, N. J.. districts before a representative of the I. C. C. yesterday.
 I feel that we have presented an excellent case and we will be sue cessful in procuring a lower rate on fuel oil transported into the state" State Senator Edward w. Goss Of Waterbury remarked after the all day hearing Goss was appointed by Governor John H. Trumbull to su- pervise efforts toward rate reduc ton.
 The states case was prosecuted by Attorney J. J. Hickey of Wash incton, who called Goss and Hugo Oberg, said to be a freight rate ex- pert. to testify.
 The reduction move was opposed by counsel for the New York. New Haven and Hartford. Reading, Le- high, and Central New Jersey rail- roads, Representatives of several oil companies were present. Oherg testified rates from refining points to Connecticut were higher than rates on the same products to such points at Buffalo, N. Y, o- Pittsburgh, which are no greater distance away.
 The present efforts to reduce rates on petroleum products are a con- tinuation of the campaign author- ized by the 1927 state leg.slatur' which has already obtained lower freight rates on coal.

Won Luckner Tonight
Famous German Sea Raider Win APP
pear in Memorial Hall

Count Felix Won Luckner,
the Countess, and their secre-
tary will arrive at the Carolina
Inn this (Friday) afternoon
and at 8 o'clock this evening, in
Memorial hall, the Count will
tell the story of his career as
sea raider for Germany in the
World War. He comes here UNI
der the auspices of the Univer-
sity Entertainment Committee.
In command of a ship which,
by modern standards, would be
contemptuously called a tub,
Count Won Luckner cruised the
seas for 16 months in the early
part of the war. He sank
J00,060 tOIIS or ATIIeu snIpplnB
without tne loss or a llfe on any
of the vessels attacked.
Even before the war began
his life was rich in adventure.
He was a deck hand, a kitchen
boy, a deck-swabber, a Mexican
soldier, cowboy, a porter in
American hotels, Salvation
Army recruit, and a prize fight
er. He is the only man who
ever rose from menial tasks on
the deck to a high position in
German navy.
He has won a remarkable
success as a lecturer in this
country in the last year or so.
Now on a tour of the South, he
appeared last night in Atlanta.

Student Daily Proposed
Suggested Abolition of Magazine Is
the Point of Contention

A plan for a daily Tar Heel
to appear six times a week, ev-
cry morning but Monday = was
laid before the University Stu
dent Activities Committee Tues
day evening.
An essential feature of the
plan was the abolition of the
Carolina Magazine in its pre-
sent form and the incorporation,
in the newspaper, of a twice-a-
month magazine supplement.
This was opposed by some of
those present, among them w.
S. Bernard, r. B. House and
John Marshall, who feared it
would impair the literary char
acter of the magazine. Among
those who favored the consOli-
dation were Addison Hibbard,
John M. Booker, and Taylor
Bledsoe.
The proposal was approved by
a vote of IL to 10. When Mr..
Marshall made the objection
that the Magazine had not been
represented on the committee
which had drawn up the plan,
it was decided to refer the ques-
tion to a new committee, made
up of Glenn Holder, Walter
Spearman, John Marshall, Jerry
Slade, Joe Mitchell, George
Ehrhart, Marion Alexander,
and John Mebane. J.. M. Lear,
q. J. Coffin, June Adams, and
Bill Perry have been asked to
sit with the committee.
Another meeting Of the Stu
dent Activities group is called
for Sunday evening.

The $264,000 recommended
for permanent improvements at
the University is for renovation
of old library, expansion of
water and heating facilities, inn
provement of grounds, compile
tion of attic in woman's build
ing, and needed equipment. "
The request for a new physical
education building was disallow-
ed, as well as the request for the
beginning of a plant for an ex-
panded school of education.
The cut in the maintenance
fund is-or so it appears to the
present writer-a more serious
matter than the cut in the i'm
provements budget. The Uni
versity will be unable to main
tain its standards of perfor-
nance, in teaching, in research,
in all its activities, if the ap-
preparation stands at the figure
set by the commission. 1t can
exist, of course; it can function
in a fashion which may seem
satisfactory to most people in
the state; but it cannot maintain
the high place which it has won
among the country's institutions
of learning. If the determina-
ton to save is not unshakable, if
the legislature is at all open to
persuasion, then President
Chase, Business Manager Wool
len, and the other University
representatives who appear at
the committee hearings will
surely be able to obtain a larger
maintenance fund than is recon-
mended by the commission.

ride BUMMERS"
Hailed TO COURT
Students Who Stand in Street
to AccOst Motorists Are
Punished by Mayor
HIS ACTION COMMENDED

Stimulated by his own obser-
vations and by many complaints
from citizens, Mayor Zeb Coun-
Gil has brought the heavy hand
of the law down upon young
men who stood out in the middle
of the street to beg rides from
passing motorists.
Fifteen were arrested Friday
and Saturday and were brought
before the mayor for trial Mon
day morning. He imposed on
each the minimum fine of 81,
plus costs amounting to about
So. He remitted the 81 fine, but
told each offender that the fine
on a second offense would be
$40.
News of the arrests and the
subsequent punishment spread
rapidly over the village and the
campus, and the result is that
the ride bummers" are stand
ing back on the curb instead of
out in the path of cars. The
mayor, the town manager. and
the police have received COM
mendation for their action in
enforcing the law.
Students who posted them
selves in the street, to beg rides,
were becoming a serious nuis-
ance, especially at the post-of-
flee corner. Frequently they
stood directly in the way of a
car until it was close upon them,
and stepped aside only just in
time to avoid being struck. This
was hard on the nerves of the
driver, and the "bummers" were
made all the more annoying by
the far from gentle manners
with which they made their ap-
peals for free transportation.
The aldermen passed an or
dinance several months ago
against the soliciting of rides ex-
CUpt fTOm rnG CUTD. For q While
it was sought to end the nuis-
ance through public appeals to
the students. Probably a great
majority of the students obeyed
the ordinance, but there was a
considerable number upon whom
the appeals had no effect.
