Oregon Sunday Emepajld VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SUNDAY, JANUARY 14, 1923 NUMBER 65 This Week FRANCE INVADES GERMANY * * * U. S. TROOP CALLED HOME * * * REPARATIONS PLAN OFFERED * * * BRITISH DEBT TO BE PAID * * * STATE LEGISLATURE MEETS • • • KU KLUX KLAN ON TRIAL HERRIN CASE IS COMPLICATEI * * * FLOODS DAMAGE VALLEY The whole world is keenly interested in the latest development in the Euro pean entanglement, the occupation ol Germany by France for failure to pay war indemnities. Premier Poincare, flinging aside the disapproval of Great Britain, and the displeasure of the Uni ted States, have invaded the rich Ruhr district, and troops now control opera tion of the iron and coal minas, with their attendant industries, at that place. The entry was peaceful, but fur ther interesting developments in the case can be predicted only- with un certainty. Germany is peacefully pro testing at present. Following the French action, the Uni ted States called home the last of the Army of Occupation on the Rhine. The United States troops there, about 1200 in all will start for home about the end of this month. Proposals for American aid toward settlement of European economic prob lems were endorsed in the senate today by Senator Capper, Republican, Kansas, chairman of the farm bloc, who said American farming interests require sta bility in Europe to afford a market for American agricultural products. Secretary Hughes’ plan for an inves tigating commission would “prepare the way for a world economic confer ence,” declared Senator Capper, who also declared himself in favor of Sena tor Borah’s recent conference proposal. The plan calls for a settlement of European difficulties by a commission composed of business men and financial experts, and really seems a feasible scheme. • * * The British debt to the United States will be payed to the last cent, accord ing to the commission sent over here last week to confer with a like commis sion of this country. The two bodies are now at work figuring out some me thod of settlement that will be finan cially possible for Great Britain to meet. An agreement is expected by the middle of the week. • • • State legislative bodies, under the di rection of Governor Walter M. Pierce, bave been in session since Monday and an unusually busy session is on. Re duction of taxes will be the chief aim of the present administration—but just how to do it is a problem. Measures so far brought to the light are an in come tax, a tax on timber sales, and reduction in appropriations. The organizations of the house and senate are now complete, with Jay Up ton heading the senate after a bittei fight, and K. K. Kubli holding the speakership of the house. Appointment of committees has been completed, and all is ready for a session of hard work. No measures of major importance have come to the fore as yet. • • • One of the most interesting murder cases in the history of the country is now on at Bastrop, Louisiana. The Ku Klux Klan is charged with the death by torture of two men, Watt Daniels and Thomas RichaTd, and six have men been named in connection with the slaying. A prominent doctor, B. F. McKoin, Jeff Burnett, J. K. Skip worth, recognized leader of the Klan; Jim Tisdale; A. B. Campbell and a man named Jones have been prominently mentioned by witnesses. Dr. McKoin is under arrest, charged with murder. The horrible details brought out make interesting reading at least, but it is very doubtful if any definite results will be accomplished at the trial. • * • The Herrin murder trial is daily be coming more hopelessly complicated. Witnesses directly contradict each oth er, and impeachment proceedings have already been started. Whether any convictions can be obtained for the slaying of several non-union miners during the riots there at the time of the great mine strike is doubtful. • • • Water was more than plentiful dur ing the last week, and the resultant floods in the Willamette valley caused damage estimated at millions of dol lars. A warm chinook wind, which'pelt ed the snow in the hills, started things, and aided by a heavy rainfall, the Willamette, McKenzie and other rivers rose rapidly and spilled all over the adjacent country. Many bridges anc roads were destroyed, and train service was seriously interfered with betweer here and Portland. The water is dowr now, however, and train service has been resumed on regular schedules. 1DIGAL BUILDING FORMALLY OPENED i University Structure Named after Kenneth Mackenzie, Late Dean of the School COST MORE THAN $226,000 Latest and Best Equipment Housed in Modern Labora tories; Research Is Aim — Portland, Jan. 14.—Named in honor of the late Dr. Kenneth A.

MS. 1TSUH HIGH IN POLITICS Oregon Law School Graduate Is Slated for Position of Vatican Diplomatic Envoy ABILITY IS RECONIZED Advancement in Japan Rapid South Manchurian Rail Di rectorate Is Present Post i Yori S, Matsuoka, graduate of the , , university law school, may be sent as Japanese diplomatic envoy to the Vatican, according to news reports. The law school was at that time in Portland. Since his graduation,11 Mr. Matsuoka has been in the Jap- ' anese diplomatic service. He was , consul general, embassy attache of the Versailles peace delegation, head of the newspaper section of the Jap-' anese foreign office in Tokio, and at'1 present he is on the Directorate of 1 ' the South Manchurian railroad. , Tokio, Jan. 13.—Japan’s plans to end an accredited diplomatic envoy t> the Vatican have reached the stage, ccording to a cable to the Chicago )aily News, where the Japanese for ign office is cabling to Rome the ame of Yori Matsuoka in an effort to] scertain whether he is acceptable as; he head of the new legation. Matsuoka, who is an extremely cap- i ble member of the younger group of j apanese officials, is 42 years old, an lumnus of the University of Oregon I nd for a time studied law at the Uni ersity of Michigan. After his return 1 3 Japan from his American studies ■ e entered ^the diplomatic service in 904. He was later advanced from the \ ost of consul general to that of ein-1 assy attache of the Versailles peace elegation and subsequently was made i ead of the newspaper section of the ! apauesc foreign office here. Displeased Superiors Matsuoka’s frankness in discussing overnment policies with newspaper ^respondents was not altogether leasing to his superior officers in the apanese diplomatic service and he was iter transferred to the directorate of . le South Manchurian railroad, a po- ] tion which he now holds. While Japanese government officials j re decided in establishing diplomatic ilations with the Vatican those op osing the political innovation insist lat it is unnecessary for Japan, 98 er cent of whose population is Budd ists and Shiutoists, to send an dlivoy ) the head of a Christian denomina on. However, public criticisms of the laa emanate from politicians instead f either the Protestant or Buddhist ircles. To Aid Pacifism “Authorities explain that the mbve dll serve to propagate the idea that apan stands for pacifism,” says the j Lsahi, Tokio's leading newspaper. Many consider the Vatican to be the ountaiiihead of international amity nd the incarceration of pacifism, which re doubt. When an influenced church rows into power a struggle for su remacy will start between the Vatican nd other powers. Japan’s best pacifist ropaganda will be the abandonment f military disloyalty, regulation of rmaments and the adoption of univer al suffrage.” *ACE DECAY IS DECRIED larvard and Bryn Mawr Students 1 Flayed for Shirking Duty _ 3 Chicago, Jan. 13.—Evidence of race , c eterioration was declared by the Rev.1 J.

Baltimore, Md., Jan. 13.—At a meet- ' ing here of college presidents and re i serve officers’ training corps inspectors at which an association was formed for the promotion of military training, Dr. Samuel H. McCormick, chancellor of the University of Pittsburg, declared that America “is rapidly becoming fem inized.” The United States, he added, would soon become a nation of women if it listened to those who are now crying their opposition to war for any cause whatever. “We need compulsory mil itary training in the colleges and uni versities if we are to be properly pre pared in case of war.” Dr. McCormick insisted.

COLLEGE GIRL BEATS WAY TO GAME IN ZERO WEATHER Unknown Co-ed Successfully Overcomes Weather, Police, Trainmen and . Sees Team Victorious U. of Michigan, Jan. 12.—Biding the “blinds” in zero weather, going with out food and sleep for thirty-five hours, and at last being apprehended as a common “bum” tells the story of a loyal Michigan co-ed’s trip to .see her team battle the Gophers. With a determination to see the Go pher-Wolvertou game spurring her on, ! this Michigan co-ed whose name is a ' mystery, clothed herself in a sheepskin slicker, a pair of knickers, and a pair j of bearskin mittens, boarded a “side door” pullman and set out for Minne apolis. She was taken from the train by railway detectives at a small town in Wisconsin, but through her per sonality she won over the conductor of the freight train and was allowed to complete the trip in the caboose. Affected not the slightest by her journey, she gaily tripped onto the cen ter of the Wolverine rooter section, and saw her team defeat the Minnesotans i to the tune of 16 to 7. I Michigan alumni in the Twin Cities I banded together and purchased a re turn ticket for the daring girl. The young lady would not divulge the name of her sorority.

OREGON WINS GAME EROM CEUB 40 TO 21 Zimmerman and Latham Work Great; Latter Makes 21 Markers by Stellar Play GOWANS SHOWS UP WELL Game on Ice for Varsity in Most of Contest; Clubmen Did Not Have Best Style By Ed Fraser The Oregon basket eagers pulled one if the nicest little dope upsetting tunts of the year last night against he strong Multnomah Club quintet, md left the floor on the long end of 1 45 to 20 score. Incidentally Hunk liathani played one of the prettiest ;anies of basketball seen in a long time nd gathered in a total of 21 points, be ides holding his opponent scoreless. It must be admitted though that the Vinged “M” squad did not put its trongest combination on the floor hough, for both Bobby Palouze and 'ink Melvor were unable to make the rip, and this necessitated the using of ubstitute guards in their places. The Oregon squau started right off he bat by gathering in a couple of bas ets before the Portland team could get et to the floor and was never headed, rowans and Zimmerman started at for 'ards and they certainly worked to ether well. This boy Uowans seems to e the missing link in the Latham, Zim lerman. Chapman, Schafer combiua_ ion, for he certainly produced the oods in the game last night. Zimmerman Aggressive Zimmerman made seven baskets dur ig the game and played the most ag ressive game of any of the Oregon ion. He has improved so much over is playing of last year that there is 0 comparison. Zimmerman and Hunk ted in the number of baskets as each lade seven, but Hunk stepped out and nnexed seven out of eight fouls, so rought his total up considerably. Gus Clerin for the Multnomah Club ut out the best brand of ball, and 3ored several nice baskets besides laying a pretty floor game. Bus Doug is, who played on the Oregon Prosh 3am two years ago, went in the last alf and went good at guard. The Oregon team played some good all in the game last night and when owans gets to working with the rest f the men a little better they will rove stiff competition for even the est of the conference fives. The jamwork was a feature, and it seems rat Coach Bolder has finally succeed 1 in getting them to pass, for several imes men sacrificed a long shot in or er to make a good play. Monday night at 7:30 the first col_ :giate contest of the season comes ■hen the Varsity opens up against /hitman here. Whitman always pro uces a fast basketball team, and it is rid to run true to form this year, so lie Oregon team evidently has a real truggle on their hands to open their chedule with.
