Peking’s Fall Expected
LONDON, May 22—The fall of
Peking to the Chinese nationalist
army, -without fighting, appeared
probable today, according to Chinese
dispatches. They intimated that
Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, northern
war lord, had arranged to retreat
into Manchuria without attempting
defense of his capital.
General Chiang Kai-Shek, chief
of the southern forces, tonight was
reported pushing past Tientsin for
Peking while his ally, General Seng
Yu-IIsiang, was within striking dis
tance of Peking.
The probable scene of any battle
^ has been pushed farther inland
from Shantung owing to Japan’s
strategic move of protection about
Shantung and South Manchuria.
Fighting Begins
LONDON, May 22—A major bat
tle for the possession of Peking is
developing between Chinese forces
numbering more than 400,000 men,
according "to a Tokio dispatch to the
Daily Mail quoting the Japanese
war office.
■' Two hundred thousand northern
troops have taken up the defense of
Peking and are being attacked, by
220,000 nationalists, the dispatch
said.
Marshal Chang Tso-Lin has
thrown out defense troops on a line
from Nanlcou around Peking and
General Chiang Kai-Shek’s forces
have made contact with the north
erners, according to the Japanese
war office.
The fighting was said to have ex
tended along this line, probably be
tween Chang Tso-Lin and General
Seng Yu-IIsiang’s forces.

Boulder Dam Bill Renewed
WASHINGTON, May 22—Senator
Johnson, republican, California, re
opened debate on big Boulder dam
bill in the senate today, with a fiery
speech upholding feasibility of the
project.
The measure was taken up more
than three weeks ago but laid aside
for the tax reduction bill after
brief consideration. Now Johnson

Flight Starts Today
KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, May
22—General Umberto Nobile will
take the dirigible Italia over the
north pole on an 82-hour flight
starting at 3:51 a. m. Wednesday,
it was announced tonight.
Nobile announced the flight after
receiving reports that weather con
ditions were favorable.
Whether Nobile will attempt to
't land some members of the expedition
at the pole for scientific observation
was not stated but it is known the
Italia’s commander has been con
templating a landing on the top of
the world.
The Italia has an anchor which
Nobile believes will function on ice
or in water.
Rough weather prevented the use
of the anchor in the Italia’s recent
voyage when Nobile was reported to
believe new land had been discov
ered near Novoya Zeya.

Work on Men’s Dorm
Continues After Strike
Plasterers and hod-carriers, who
went on strike Monday, were back
cr. the job at noon yesterday, and
working at their places in the con
struction of the new men’s dormitory,
said H. Ratty, superintendent of
construction.
The hot^-cariiers went out for
higher wages. Mr. Ratty told the
reporter that his company has al
ways been willing to pay the same
as other local concerns, and is d<yng
so at the present time. Because non
union hod-carriers have been carry
ing plaster the plasterers also had
quit work.
The regular pay for hod-carriers
in Eugene lias been $4 a day, but
the men have demanded a raise to
t'7 daily for a 44 hour week.
There is no building trades organ
ization in Eugene and the hod-car
riers went out without special or
ders. The carpenters, plumbers and
rdher workmen remained on the job)
however.
No definite action toward settle
ment has been made. The men have
come back with the purpose of reach
ing some agreement.
A meeting of all Eugene con
tractors was held at the labor tem
ple last night, that a wage-scale for
Eugene men might be worked out,
that was agreeable to all.
The non-union laborers are being
let out by Ratty as rapidly as union
1 men are taking their places.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo
Alto, May- 22.—(P. I. P.)—The
Stanford board of trustees recently
approved the establishment of a
three year graduate program of
study leading to the degree of Doc
tor of Education. The program is

Larry Thielen
Chooses Next
Year’s Staff
Bill Hammond Chosen
Associate Manager
Of Emerald
Charles Reed To Direct
Advertising Work
Next Season
Larry Thielen, recently appointed
manager of next year's Emerald,
has made the appointments of the
Larry Thielen
1928 -1929. The
four principal of
fices have been
appointed ns well
as some of the
advertising sales
men for the com,
ing year.
Bill Hammond,
a junior next year,
has been named
associate manager.
He lias a record
of two years on
the staff, having
spent nis freshman year as a
salesman. He has been working
recently as associate advertising
manager. Previous to his work on
the Emerald Hammond worked for
four years on the Oregon City En
terprise. During his work he has
attained constructive ideas for tho
benefit of the paper, according to
Thielen.
New Position
The advertising manager for next
year will entail more responsibility
and work. Charles Reed has been
appointed to fill this position, and
will have charge of the local sales
men under supervision of the man
ager. Thielen stated that “Chuck”
has shown more improvement than
any other man on the staff, having
been a salesman for two years and
acting ns associate advertising man
ager this spring. Ilis assistant will
be Dick Horn, sophomore, who will
have charge of the records of daily
advertising for the paper.
The position of foreign advertis
ing manager will be filled by George
Weber of Portland, who has had
experience in correspondence, which
is the main requisite for the posi
tion. This is his first year on the
staff. His successor for finance ad
ministrator has not yet been named.
Policies Changed
“The most important change
which we will introduce,” said
Thielen, “is that tho main selling
work will be put in the hands of the
upper division of the staff, leaving
the routine work for the less ex
perienced and providing for a per
iod of training in tho office for be
ginners. We believe that this will
give our advertisers more experi
enced salesmen to deal with as well
as bringing in a larger volume of
advertising for the Emerald.”
W. E. G. Thachcr’s advertising
laboratory, under Thielen’s direc
tion, will be closely coordinated
with the w’ork of the sales staff—
acting as a copy writing service
for Epierald advertisers. The
staff is also planning to organize a
magazine section for the Emerald
to take the place of the old Webfoot.

Texas Hard Hit by
Political fights in
Convention Meeting
(By United Press)
DALLAS, Texas, May 22—Texas
republicans antagonistic to the dom
inance of I?. B. Creager, national
committeeman from Texas, bolted
the state convention here today and
in a rump session planned to carry
the fight for control in Texas to the
floor of the republican national con
vention at Kansas City.
Thrown out of the state session
with police assistance, followers of
Congressman Harry Wurzbach of
San Antonio, elected a temporary
chairman—Captain John Elgin, of
Clifton.
Elgin was elevated to the post
after the arrest of C. C. Littleton,
leader of the anti-Creager republican
forces on a charge of defacing pub
lic property incident to forced entry
of the convention chamber. Wurz
bach forces swept aside a police
guard and crashed into the conven
tion after they had been ordered
locked out because they did not
carry red buttons signifying their
support of Creager and Hoover.
The Wurzbach forces seek to have
the Texas delegation go to Kansas
City uninstructed.

Wide Variety of Books
Is Received at Library
“Tisir’t What You Know But Are
You Intelligent?” is the name of a
valuable new book in general circu
lation at the library. It is published
by Harper Brothers and, according
to the paper cover, will accurately
gage the intelligence of the indi
vidual.
“Gods and half-gods, warrior
women and the children of men,
meet and mingle, explore the dark
recesses of humanity and the uni
verse in a book which is gay and
wise and skeptical, at once idyllic
and urbane,” is the note on the
cover of a new rent novel, “In the
Beginning,” by Norman Douglas.
“Now what are you indeed, that
when you pass
“Night is but twelve dark hours
that none can praise
“And April is a month with thirty
days
“And the first green is only so
much grass.”
These lines have been taken from
a new book of poetry by Louis Un
termeyer, “Burning Bush,/’ and is
on the rent shelf. It will be inter
esting to those who see more of
beauty in nature than the one of
whom this poem speaks.
Two other rent books are “Quiet
Cities” by Joseph Hergesheimer and
“The Man Who Saw Through Hea
ven,” a book of short stories by
Wilbur Daniel Steele.
New books in general cirsulation
are “Sir Isaac Newton,” a group of
essays on his works; “Forty Years
in My Bookshop,” by Walter T.
Spencer; “In the Path of the Trade
Winds, ’’legends of Hawaii by Cora
Wells Thorpe; “Romance'of Geol
ogy”, by James Kilkey.

(Fv United Press)
MANAGUA, Nic., May 22—Two
Nicaraguan rebel groups have been
defeated by United States marine
patrols in. the past few days.
The rebel casualties were consid
erable, advices here said today. One
of the rebel leaders was killed.
Advices received at the marine
base here said that nono of the

The first of the two recent en
gagements was May 12. The marine
command, headed by Lieut. John
Walraven, met and defeated a largo
group of rebels near Barillal.

Evolution Shown
By Amphibians
All Phases of Swimming
Demonstrated
A row of yapping prehistoric*
formed the prelude of the annual
Amphibian show last night, ns the
cavewomen marched out in fierco
lookiug shins of oilcloth, and dem
onstrated the first elementary dog
paddle known to man. On went the
evolution. Presently by accident,
soriiebody fell into the water and
suddenly found that ho could swim
on his back; and the first life
saving was done by first giving tho
victim the pacifier in the form of a
club on the head.
“The Ladies’ Swimming School”
with Beth Ager as the antiquo school
marm was especially inefficient, as
to technique, and particularly suc
cessful as a farce. “Tho Bays of
Beal Sport” featured tho typo of
high stunts known to boys beforo
their days of long pants. Accom
panying them was tho usual sissy,
Percy by name, whose mother never
lets him go in.
Tho stunts, including dives and
crazy races, brought a good hand of
applause from the audience, which
filled tho regular gallery and crowd
ed the temporary bleachers.
In tho fancy diving, the three
performers wore white grease paint
and white suits, which effect,
heightened by a spot-light, made tho
effect weird indeed. Following this
were formations by tho ontiro Am
phibian club, except tho divers. The
girls in this wore yellow grease
paint and green, with tho same color
suits, all of which wero furnished
by tho Jantzen company of Port
land.
Tho final formations wero tho
University of Oregon “O,” and tho
hugo “A” emblematic of the Am

On Mound \

By RICHARD IT. SYRING
Sports Editor
A more copious quantity of words
was forced into the ozono around
Reinhart field yesterday afternoon
the bats of either
the University of
Oregon1 players or
the visiting Ore
gon State Beavers.
But the Aggies
were a T> 1 o to
couple hits With
their, words, so
they won yester
day’s ball argu
ment, 10 to 4.
And what an ar
Coach Ralph Coleman and his Or
ange and Black nine invadjA Eu
gene yesterday with each player
adequately equipped with one of
Funk and Wagnall’s new standard
college dictionaries, hut Umpire
Tyler Christianson was called 'a
number of names that never would
appear in such a document.
Aggies Use Huddle System
Every time Christianson would call
something that didn’t' exactly agree
with the Aggies, out would come
the dictionaries. Pages were hur
riedly scanned in a vain search for
more horrible names. Like a pack
of growling wolves, Coleman’s pro
teges would rush from tho bench
and completely surround the much
liarrassed Mr. Christianson. The Ag
gies used tho huddle system yester
day afternoon, huddling around tho
abused ball dictator.
One of tho more important in
stances of yesterday afternoon’s
rumpus came at the beginning of
the sixth inning when Mr. Arthur L.
Schoeni, Oregon southpaw pitcher
who had allowed tho Aggies seven
hits and two runs up to this time,
becamo warm and proceeded to re
move his outer baseball shirt. The
sight of Mr. Schoeni’s woolen sweat
shirt immediately aroused more fury
than a red one would have dono in
front of a bull. Tho sweat shirt
completely spoiled the aesthetic
senses of the Beavers. They soon
went into another huddle, clammer
ing that the removal of such a shirt
was against conference rules.
Schoeni Replaces Shirt
Now, the again attacked Mr.
Christianson had nover heard of such
a rule. In tho Texas league where
he umpired lust year they had noth
ing of this sort. But aided by
Messrs. Eunk and Wngnall, tho
Beavers found enough persuasive ad
jectives to convince Christianson
that Mr. Schoeni should replace his
shirt, so tho warm and disgruntled
southpaw lumbered to tho bench and
replaced his recently cast-off piece
of wearing apparel.
Another causo of excitement oc
curred in the eighth when catcher
Howard Maple couldn’t understand
why lie should bo called out on an in

Two Oregon Men Lost Overnight
On Y. M. C. A. Hike to Mary’s Peak
Lost on a mountain slope over
night is an experience Shailer A.
Peterson, and Harold D. Elkins,
both of Eugene, and sophomores at
the University, had Saturday when
they started out with the joint party
of O. S. C. and Oregon Y. M. C. A.
cabinet members, and became de
tached from the main party.
The two boys were at the rear
end of the lino climbing Mary’s
Peak, and when darkness fell be
came separated from their com
rades. Not knowing exactly where
the main party was to camp, the
lost bikers mad^ a camp of their
own. They had plenty of food and
blankets, and camped quito com
fortably until Sunday afternoon
when they joined the party again
as it descended.
Henry \V. Davis, director of
Y. M. 0. A. work on the campus,
said, “We were somewhat concerned
when we first discovered that the
boys were missing. However, in
quiry proved that they had grub
and blankets, and were not without
experience. The day had been warm,
and the night was not cold even on
the peak, so we felt confident that
they would be safe.”
Ten Oregon men, and fifteen O.
S. C. cabinet members made up tho
party. They left Shepard hall on
the O. S. C. campus at 2:30 Satur
day, and reached the top of Mary’s
Peak by 8 that evening. Crossing
tho top -they dropped down and
pitched camp about a quarter of a
mile from the summit on the oppo
site side.
A sunrise service on tho peak be
fore breakfast was a feature of tho
day. Tho time between breakfast
and dinner was devoted to a con
ference between the two cabinets.
Various phases of Y. M. C. A. work
at tho two institutions was dis
cussed.
Bay Culver, Northwestern secre
tary of Y. M. C. A., gave a closing
address on Christian work in the
university* Ho emphasized tho
necessity of sincerity in the lives
of those who represent Christian
work.
Tho Oregon men, including tho
two wanderers, arrived home in Eu
gene at G o’clock Sunday evening.
