Professor Paul E. Pelting, who resigned April 29 as University of Iowa athletic di rector at the request of President Walter A. Jessup, in a statement to- j night linked his resignation with the ousting of the university from the Big Ten athletic conference. Pelting asserted his belief that "the western conference interpreted the president's refusal to support me farther as a direct challenge to clean sport in the University of Iowa and they acted accordingly. I think their judgment was correct." Front Prof. Louis Pelzer, Iowa's faculty member of the Pig Ten com- ' miltee, came a revelation that the icnarge that a slush mini is in-ing j operated here for the benefit of athletes was one accusation. He said that the information on which the committee acted was given by Com missioner John L. Griffith. Campus sentiment against the con ference's action reached a high pitch today, culminating in a student mass meeting on the campus. More than one thousand students paraded to the home of President Jessup, bear ing banners with the inscription, "go to college at a profit, "subsized ath letes" and "we want to know why." President Jessup gave a short talk in which he told the students, "as I undeistand it, we are not out of the Riir Ton. The conference simolv used one of its devices by refusing to schedule athletic contests after Janu- ary 1. 1!)30. Olir athlCtiC COUnCil Will work as fast as possible in finding ou the facts, and when they are found ) we will know whether we are still ! members of the conference." I Student Leaders Resentful. I Student leaders expressed resent iment that Iowa had been singled out I for action. They alleged that other ; i schools were irregular in methods of: : attracting athletics. ', ! "If Iowa is not clean in its hand ling of intercollegiate athletics, the I ; first move must be a housecleaning." , ! said Prof. Pelzer and Prof. K. II.' I Laner, appointed director of athletics j f o 1 1 o w i n g Belting's resignation. ! I Iowa's 1929 football schedule will not , j be affected, the officials said.

Birth Rate of Nebraska Shows Marked Increase Report Shows That Rate Has Gained Much in 1928 Over Record of Previous Years. After showing a steady decline for six years in succession, the birth re- jcord for 192S as compiled in the state vital statistics office registers an in- I crease over the preceding annum. i A summary given out by Miss Esther Stern, chief clerk, reports the total number of births last years as 28,029 compared with 27,866 in 1927 which was a gain of 163. ' The 1928 figures however are more than 600 below the mark reached in 1926 and some 4,000 under those for 1921. ! A birth graph for Nebraska cover ing the past seven years would ex hibit a sharply descending line from 1 1921 to 1927, and a slight upward turn during 192S. Here are the re i turns by years during that period: jl921 23.259 192.r 29,179 1 1922 31,173 1926 28.2S7 1923 1924 30.171 1927 27,866 30.936 192S 28,029 Boys Outnumber Girls. In each of the past two years, about 800 moreb oys than girls were born in Nebraska. In 19 28 the count was 14.415 and 13,614, respectively; in 1927 it stood: Boys, 14,360; girls, 13.506. The white race, Chinese and Jap anese, Mexicans and miscellaneous elements in Nebraska's population re ported more births last year than the year before. On the other hand fewer children were born to negro and In dian parents in 1928 than in 1927. Here are the comparative statistics: White 27.2S9 27,406 Black 238 235, :Jap. or Chi. i Indian 26 31 120 88 j Mexicans & others- 193 269 I Even though the total number of births was larger, the rate per 1.000 of population fell oil slightly in iy.. .being 19.1 for that year as against 20 in the one just preceding. I More Twins, Fewer Triplets. I There were 356 pairs of twins 'ushered into the world in Nebraska ! in 192S; whereas 1927 marshalled , only 334 doubleheaders in the natal j field. Of triplets, however, only 4 sets were reported in 1928, while 7 'such groups were registered in 1927. More than 20 per cent of all births last year 5,747in number took place in hospitals and other institu tions. Of the 2S.029 births which occur red in 1927, only 487 were illegiti mate. The previous annum. 489 ille 'gitimate children were born. I Physicians were in attendance at the birth of 27.627 children during , 192S. Midwives cared for 234 cases, and 16S were looked after by rel atives or friends. REFUSES BIG REWARD Covert Jean. 22.. 2220 Howard' .Native oi i,orps. street.

Lindbergh and Miss Anne I Morrow were married quietly here at . o'clock Monday afternoon. I This announcement was made by I i a secretary or Ambassador Morrow, father of the bride. The secretary telephoned to Uni versal Service the following an nouncement: "Mr. and Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow announce the wedding of their daughter, Anne, to Cel. Charles En- glewood, N. J., May 27. 1929." i He added that only members of the Morrow family and Colonel Lind bergh's mother were present. I The ceremony was performed by Dr. Williams Adams Brown of Union Theological seminary. Dr. Brown is an old friend of the Morrow family and his daughter, Helen was a close friend of the bride. It was learned at Roosevelt field j that Lindbergh has ordered his plane . put in shape for 8 Tuesday morning, j Mechanics found a faulty oil line in the plane but promised it would j be repaired. i Secretary Reticent. j Mr. Springer was very reticent in ; giving details of the event, declaring j he had only been authorized the brief : public announcement. : At 4:30 p. m. the couple were seen to leave the Morrow grounds in Lind bergh's car with the flyer at the wheel. Newspaper men stationed out- j side the residence thought nothing " of the couple's exit, being unaware j of the long impending marriage, for J announcement of which they were waiting had taken place. Where the couple had gone could j not be learned. It was not thought" likely they had left on their honey- i moon, for no baggage was visible to the reporters. However, there was a strong like lihood the couple may have gone to the home of friends in order to avoid public scrutiny. Newspaper men, however, rushed to Port Washington, L. I. .in order to "cover" that place in the event the couple were heading there to board their amphibian and fly to the- summer home at North Haven, Me. Omaha Bee-News. General Harry A.
