AUTHOR TRIED FOR DOTS AND DASHES “Students’ Court in Jest Places Sentence on Noted English Author T.ondon, April 13.—Rags, parlance of Knglish unive re not rags at all In the ordi- nary sense, If there were a glossary of English and American slang, the American equivalent of rag probably would be razz, To {llustrate: When the students of Edinburgh University recently re- fused to allow former Prime Minister Lloyd George to make his specch on polities, that was a rag. When somebody threw a llve hen from the balcony, sending the audience below into an uproar, it was decidedly a Tag, . Recent Demonstration, ‘The most recent concrete demon- stration of the word occurred lately at Leeds when H, G. Wells, the au- thor, was subjected to a severe rag- ging by the students of the City of leeds Training College. Mr., Wells went to the institution to deliver a| lecture, and the first thing he knew one of the students, carrying a broom representing the wand of justice, ac- costed the author and declared: “I arrest you iii the name of the Crown and Anchor.” The technical charge against the | suspect was “using an excessive num-« ber of dots with felonious intent” in his various books. Without a chance to protest, Mr. Wells was dragged to the students’ court tried and sum- marily sentenced. Sentence Imposed. This was the sentence: “You must cither transcribe your Outline of His- tory from Morse to Semaphore or work {t out in cunieform writing without the assistance of the Moabite stone and the Tel-el-amarna tablets. | Although Mr. Wells' counsel, in- dulging in the copious puns for which English barristers are famous, put up a strong plea that the use of dots was a- professional privilege and that the use of so many dots tended to prove that the prisoner was in his dotage, thus constituting extenuating! circumstances, there was no appeal frora the judge's sentence. It was| dectded by the ‘“court” that this ex- cessive use of dots was a peril to phonetics and dominoes, and Mr, Wells had to take the consequences. Mr. Wells, however, submitted to the ragging like a good sport, and in perfect cockney accent declared to the court that he could do the sen- tence ‘“on me 'ead.” AMBASSADOR MAY RESIGN Hi POST (Continued from First Page) ihie now is coming to the United Lflule!. but it would cause no surprise {‘here if he resigned sometime during | the coming winter to take an active v part in the campaign. 2 Court Is Important Item So far as policies are concerned the wadministration proposal for American | smembership in the international |jcourt of justice now hold front ranks | n the discussion of 1924. Secretary | |, Hughes recently discussed the pro- l“posal at great length with Senator| | ‘Watson of Indiana who pointed out in | |;some detail the attitude of a group of anti-court repnblican senators. The Indiana senator made his call at the State depariment after he had | gone over the whole subject with| ! Benator Lodge and at about the same [*time the court’ was discussed at a long conference between President |"Harding Secretary Hughes and Sec- | retary Hoover. | The president also has conferred | twice with Treasurer Upham but the subjects they discussed have not been TEACHER T0 MARRY AND GO T0 CHINA AS MISSIONARY Miss Dorothy Sibley in Charge of Physical Culture At High School To BRecome Bride Miss Dorothy Sibley, instructor of physical education in the girls' depart- ment of the Senior High school will be marrled to Gordon Curtls, who 18 completing a post-graduate course at Cornell university, Ithaca, N, J., in June, The ceremony will be perform- ed at the home of the bride-to-be in Utlea, N, Y, and‘on August 9, the couple’ will set eall from San I'ran- cisco, Cal, for China to take up mis- slonary work under the Presbyterian board, Both Miss Sibley and Mr, Curtis are children of missionaries, Mr, Curtls' parents are in Japan and those of Miss Sibley are actively engaged in the United States, Miss Sibley was born and recelved her early education in China but she has not been there for the past 11 {years, Mr, Curtis visited the country for a short time and has secured a position In charge of the agricultural work in the Boys' schools in the Hu- nan province.

POLICE (Continued from First Page) escapades of the police to Police Com- missioner Enright and Mayor Hylnni without result. ‘“@bservance of testimony and what I have heard,” Mr. Corrigan added, | “leads me to belleve that the presen- | tation of evidence by policemen re- garding violations of the Mullan-Gage | law has not always been honest and there has not always been an honest attempt to enforce the law. [ “From April, 1921, when the Mul- len-Gage law went into effect, to De- cember 31, 1922, there were arrested in Manhattan and the Bronx for li- quor violations 14,263. About 13,000 of these were in Manhattan. Of these there were held in Manhattan for the grand jury 5,597 or 43 per cent. Of these held 658, or about 11 per cent, were indicted and 18, or about .032 per cent were convicted. “If a police force cannot get more [than 658 indictments and 18 convie- | tions out of 13,000 cases it is either absolutely inefficient or criminally corrupt.” “In 1921 53 per cent of those ar- rested were held; in 1922 only 42 per cent of those arrested were held for the grand jury a decrease of nearly a fifth” said the magistrate. “Either these arrests were justified or not. These figures do not lle. Not even the most astute accountant of the ‘plunderbund’ could list them to show a decent administration of the law.” “You are living up to your reputa- tion,” exclaimed the commissioner. “Your statements are heresay and fust a tlrade against the police. The fact that Magistrates discharge, grand juries do not indict and petit jurors do not convict does not show that the police are no making an honest ef- NEAR EAST DRIVE Committee Today Decides to Launch Campafgn for $6,000 Some Time Next Month.

DAVID IS BUT POLITICS So Declares Retained by Michigan Religious Cult Under Fire, Benton Harbar, Mich,, April 13.— (By Associated Press) —In the first public statement issued by the or- ganization H. G. Dewhirst, member of for the organization, ridiculed the proposal that a receciver be appointed for the organization, /The state legislature now is con- sidering a bill that would permit the naming of a receiver for the colony. Mr. Dewhirst charged legislators interested in bills unfavorable to the colony were ‘playing politics.” ““The colony has no creditors, pays its own bills, attends to its own busi- ness and is not trying to run anyone elsels business,” the statement said. “And where does all this talk and slander about Benjamin Purnell come from? Not’/a word of it from the thousand contented members of the House of David. Does any sensible person belleve Benjamin and Mary would command the love and respect of these thousand members if one- tenth of what has been published were true? We all know the charges are faise and that is why there is no commotion in the House of David.” ALL NIGHT SESSION British House of Commons Adjourns Today After Being on 'Job Since 2:456 P. M.

The proceedings were uneventful for the members had been somewhat subdued by the more strenuous meet- ings of the past few days. Even the fatigue of a long sitting which or- dinarily tends to make the common- ers irritable seemed powerless on this occasion to upset their resolution ‘to be good.” The lesson of recent events evi- dently had its effect on the govern- ment supporters who were present in Tol u v u Liberal members of both sides were absent but it was understood they were within call in case of an emer- gency.
