university students came crowding
back for another year of school.
A freshman day program, the first
ever tried at the state Institution
here, was put tnrougn. sy n iae

heads and faculty advisers, as well

Registration starts Tuesday and
continues Wednesday. Classes will be

enrollment than ever before and pos
sibly greater total registration is anticipated.
Few changes greet the returning

been erected, but some landscaping
and minor improvements have been
effected. Omaha Bee-News.

'HI' JOHNSON TAKES
TARIFF VIEWS EAST
Chicago, Sept. 13. On his way to
Washington to take part in the tariff
debates. Senator Hiram Johnson
passed through Chicago Friday. He is
interested in such items as olives,
oranges, lemons, almonds, onions and
even garlic. The senator said he was
not losing sight, either, of the situ
ation concerning the world court and
the League of Nations. He declared
that some of those intent on getting
the United States in are now hiding.

out next Friday on a 7,000 mile air
trip which will carry them over 16
American countries in 21 days.
As technical adviser of Pan-Amer
ican Airways, he will make the trio
to inaugurate mail service between
the United StateB and Dutch Guiana
ana passenger service connecting
nineteen countries with the United
States. Colonel Lindbergh said he ex
pected to arrive at Miami on Thursday.

crew of the plane will include
CharleB Lorber, mechanic, and W.
w. Ehmer, radio operator, who plans
to make at intervals of 30 minutes
entries in a radio log to be kept in
Miami. In addition the plane will
carry as many passengers as the
quantity of mail aboard will safely
permit.
The party plans to pay its re
spects to the governments of the var
ious countries in which stops will
be made.
PUBLIC TO BE ENLIGHTENED
London The morning papers say
Prime Minister MacDonald now is
about to take the British public into
his confidence on the naval negotia
tions with the United States, and
will issue an authoriative statement.
The Daily News learns this is to be
done thru an informal talk with
newspapermen at Downing street.
Such an interview between the prem
ier and the press men would be an
innoviation in England.
Hitherto the British government
has kept silent regarding the ne
gotiations and virtually all news pub-
nsnea nere has come from the Unit
ed States.

State College

Plant for Day
University Coliseum Becomes Factory
for Registered and Photo
graphed Students.
Lincoln. Sept. 17. The university
coliseum became a factory Tuesday
for fully-photographed students.
But fast as the whole faculty
worked, it was not fast enough to
keep up with the press of applicants.
By 9:30 o'clock, the big front doors
were all swung shut and late arrivals
learned they would have to wait un
til Wednesday. Scores kept vigil,
however, on the off-chance that they
might gain admittance.
Those allowed inside were shunt
ed up to the balcony where they
waited their turn to get down on the
work floor."
Revise Schedule.
That expanse, large enough for a
half dozen basketball games at once,
was divided by posts and ropes and
screen fences into various compart
ments. The registrants, if new stu
dents, first obtained transcripts of
their credit hours and then passed on
to some division reserved for their
particular college.
Faculty advisers took them in
hand and helped them make out class
schedules. But at the next stopping
place an assignment committee in
formed them that because of crowd
ed classes or other conditions, part
of the careflully prepared time table
would have to be revised.
"Dressed In."
On the huge coliseum stage, guard
ed from unwanted intrusion by gate-
men, the registered students forked
over their fees. Then they went to
the basement, if they happened to be
freshmen, and were "mugged." These
photographs, an innovation last yar,
are used in Identification sards fur
nished each student.
Students- .were passing out of a
rear entrance all day with the regu
larity of cars out of an assembly
plant. But what the total registra
tion would be, authorities could not
guess. Advance information is that
it will be 300 larger than last year.
This margin is so small, however, in
relation to 6,000 students, that no
reliable estimate will be available
until figures are checked. Omaha

REVERENCE TO CHUNG WAH
Boston Amid the clashing of
giant cymbals and the overhead roar
of elevated trains, descendants of the
ancient Chinese Emperor Chung'Wali
began strange oriental rites Sunday
to honor their illustrious ancestor.
Chung Wan was a great man. Thru-
out the country's Chinatowns 25,
000 men, women and children claim
his blood in their veins and 2,000 of
the family, from cities as far west as
San Francisco, have gathered here to
reverence him. Leaders of the Gee
How Oak Tin association, official gov
erning body, say it is the oldest Chi
nese family in the world.
Wierd din and clamor from strange
brass and wooden instruments, a
dragon dance, sputtering firecrack
ers and high pitched oriental voices,
and a parade thru winding streets be
decked with highly colored banners,
were heard and seen in quarters nor
mally quiet, or made more silent by
tong war strife.
Winnebago Tribe
Will File a Claim
for 2i Millions
Asserts They Were Driven from
Their Land Following
Sioux Massacre
DEMO COMMITTEEMAN,
ILL, RESIGNS DUTIES
Hartford, Conn., Sept. 13. Thomas
J. Spellacy, democratic national com
mitteeman from Connecticut, Friday
offered his resignation to State Chair
man James J. Walsh because of poor
health.
Read the Journal Want Ads.
Washington, D. C, Sept. 17. A
claim approximating $2,500,000 by
the Winnebago Indiana will be laid
before the United States court of
claims. Ralph H. Case, attorney who
has just been designated to handle
the claim, said today he will leave
shortly for Tomah, Wis., time-hon
ored camping ground of the tribe, to
gather additional evidence from the
oldest members. He will file the peti
tion immediately, he eaid.
The claim rests chiefly on the as
sertion of the Winnebagoes that they
were driven from their land in 1863
following the Sioux massacre in Min
nesota, although they had nothing to
do with the massacre. The Winne
bagoes. who had been more than two
hundred miles away from the scene,
were moved to a new Winnebago
agency in Nebraska, south of Sioux
City, la. This, they hold, constituted
confiscation of their property.
Fve years after the tribe was
transferred to Nebraska, according
to the petition, a group of the In
dians yearning for the camping
ground they had occupied as far back
as records go, journeyed by water
to the old home land in Wisconsin.
Case said the claim would be chief
ly for the property in the original
Wisconsin reservation, but would in
clude also a sum to cover improve
ments they had made in their farms.
The tribe in Wisconsin and Ne
braska numbers about two thousand.
The petition will state that the In
dians lived until 1912 without as
sistance of any kind from the gov
ernment. World-Herald

SINCLAIR DENIED A PAED0N
Washington The Washington
Star will say Sunday that Harry
Sinclair, oil magnate, and his as
sistant, H. Mason Day, have had
their petitions for pardons disapprov
ed by Attorney General Mitchell and
must finish their sentences in the
district jail.
Sinclair was not incapacitated
from his duty as jail pharmacist by
reason of 111 health," the Star will
say, adding that in addition to this
plea Sinclair's petition asserted fhat
the affairs of stockholders of his
companies were likely to suffer if
he was forced longer to remain from
active direction. The story adds:
"While United States Attorney Leo
S. Rover and District Supreme Court
Jutices Gordon and Siddons, to whom
the petition was referred by the de
partment of justice, have declined
to comment on their recommenda
tions it is understood that two of
them were favorably inclined toward

Ohio river canalization and the Gen.
Anthony Wayne stamp to commem
orate the 135th anniversary of the
battle of Fallen Timbers, which re
sulted in peace with the Indians and
put America in a position to advance
westward.
To be recognized with a special
stamp an event must have national
significance or at least have received
an appropriation from congress.
The number of stamps issued de
pends on the popularity of the sub
ject and the estimated demand.
The largest issue ever put out was
the 2-cent stamp of the Columbian
series, of which 1.4 6 4.5S8.750 wrr

was the $5 stamp of this same is.ue.
