JAY BUILD TWO MORE
STORIES ON TEMPLE
Chancellor Discusses Plan
University Journal for
February..
in
An enlarged Temple building is
discussed in the Chancellor's corner
of the University Journal for Febru
ary. The plan calls for raising the
roof abovi- the cafeteria to provide
for two additional stories.
A new east wall is to be built to
stand the increased load. The other
three walls will remain the same as
they are strong enough now for the
added wripht. The cafeteria itself
will be unaffected, except' that more
light will be admitted through, the
new en.-a w-all.
The exterior of the Temple as seen
from the streets will be unchanged,
and there will be only slight modifi
cations in the appearance of the hall
ways. The expense of the proposed
change w ill be one third as much as
would be the cost of corresponding
space in a new building. ,
Fine Arts to Have Mew Space.
The ruw space will prvoide addi
tional quarters foT the dramatic de
partment, and for a studio for the
fine arts classes. There will also be
new dressing rooms for the Temple
flieater.-
The Alumni association offices
will be moved from the Law building
to the Temple. The vacated space
in the Law building will be used for
general classroom purposes. There
will probably be a rearrangement of
the Y. M. C. A. and student pastor's
Tom jn the Temple.
The plan has not yet come before
Jhe regents for final approval, but
has been generally commended by
"lumni officers, University officials,
a'd others interested in the project

ALUMNI HAVE NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH
M. S. Bacon and C. L. Rein
Nearly Killed in Shoot
ing Fracas.
A leather card case in his vest
saved Minor S. Bacon, LL. B. '01,
court reporter, in the shooting which
threatened the life of Clifford L.
Rein, A. B. '13, and killed Judge W.
M. Morning, district judge, yesterday.
After firing the shot which almost
instantly killed Judge Morning,
Wallace G. Wallick leveled his re
volver at Bacon and fired the shot
which plowed through fifteen pages
in the leather case, twice penetrated
his vest, and caused a slight flesh
wound under Bacon's arm. Death
was probably prevented by the card
case located in the upper left vest
pocket over the heart.
Turning to Rein, who was across
the room, Wallick fired a bullet that
grazed the cheek of his wife's lawyer.
The shot left powder marks on Rein s
face, -and the bullet lodged in the
shutter of the window behind him.
Rein received his A. B. degree in
1913, LL. B. in 1915, and J. D. in
1920. While at the University he
debated on the teams of 1910 and
1911 and was a member of Delta
Siema Rho and Silver Lynx. He was
assistant to Prof. M. M. Fogg in ar
gumentative composition, 1912-13,
and assistant to Chancellor Avery
1913-15. He recently acted as a
judge in selecting the' 1924 debate
team.
Bacon was graduated from the
University in 1901. He was the
court reporter in the case. He is a
Lincoln lawyer -and the United States
examiner in chancery.

JOHNSON SPEAKS
AT CONVOCATION
Address Deals With Both For
eign Relations and Do
mestic Questions.
"Isolated from the Mst of ths
world? We never will be. Th?r
is just one sort of isolation neces
sary isolation from European di
plomacy, feuds, and wars!" pro
claimed Senator Himan W. Johnson
of California, republican candidate
for the presidential nomination, to
an overflow audience of students in
the Temple theater Monday morning
at 11 o'clock.
The senator ridiculed the pro
posed world court and the Mellon
tax plan, and related the history of
the Teapot Dome scandal. Dr. Paul
II. Grunimann introduced the
speaker. The
Student Republican I
club was instrumental in arranging
the convocation
"Utterly futile," was Senator
Johnson's opinion of the world court.
In support of this assertion he quoted
from the president: "A covenent in-
strumentality to which we may go,
but to which we cannot be brought." ,
Sneaking in the back door of the
league of nations was his classifica'
tion and condemnation of the pro-'a
posed act of entering the world court,
The Hague tribunal is functioning
today with a greater jurisdiction than
this "pseudo court," the senator said,
Describes Teapot Dome Scandal.
The recent disclosure in Washing
ton of the transfer by Secretary 0-f
the Navy Denby of oil reserves for""
national emergency to Secretary of
the Interior Fall and the latter's sub
sequent leasing of the reserves to
the Sinclair and Doheny interests
shook the confidence of the people
in the public service, the speaker as
serted. Loss to the government through
these leases, whether they were cor
ruptly or honestly made, should war
rant removal of every official con
nected with the transfer, Mr. John
son insisted. He characterized the
leases as tainted, charging that "pri
vate interests do not bribe officers
of government .to bring profit unto
the government."
"I read that it is necessary to re
duce high surtaxes to put money into
productive enterprise. But I also
read that 1-623 was a peak year in
American industry," Senator John
son stated in commenting on the Mel
lon tax-reduction plan. "Reconcile
these two statement1; if you can."
"Monarchs used to detract the at
tention of the people by providing
foreign wars. In modern times we
indulge in an appeal to their cupidity
hoping they will forget everything
domestic and international as well,!
was the senator's opening on the
Mellon plan.
Attacks Mellon Tax Plan
Figures on the savings to large in
comes under the Mellon plan, and
other evidence, were submitted by
Mr. Johnbon as proof that wealth and
big corporation advocated the plan,
gave it publicity, and would profit
most under it, rather than the man
with an income of less than $10,000
"Everybody believes in tax reduc
tion. The only question is Aether
the nation shall keep faith," was
Senator Johnson's reference to sol
diers' bonus. In 1918, he said big
business demanded adjusted compen
sation on contracts because of sud
den cessation of hostilities, and was
paid about three billions of dollars.
The adjusted compensation claim
could be met, the tax on incomes of
10,000 an d less could be materially
reduced below that outlined in the
Mellon plan, and 150 millions of sur
plus would still be in the national
treasury., the senator estimated.
Relief for the hard-fit farmer was
promised by Mr. Johnson. He de
plored the action of the republican
national committee when it rescinded
its action that cut the appointive dele
gations from Mississippi and South
Carolina to the national convention
to a more proportionate comparison
with that from northern states waich
