THE' DAILY NEB HAS KAN Inquest Places Blame on Ryan (Continued from Pare 1) and the date of the collision. He gave his testimonial reservedly, with out display of omotidn, but -was con stantly asked by Attorney Towle to speak louder. "I was going south on 17th street," Eyan stated. ."The other car was coming west on K street. 1 did not Bee the other car approaching until it had neared the center of the in tersection. The Ford was tipped over and my car went up on the1 south west curbing, as the roadster crashed on the edge of the sidewalk. I helped tip the car back over." When asked concerning the speed he was traveling, Eyan stated that ho was going "eighteen or twenty miles an hour." "I didn't see the Ford until it neared the intersec tion," he continued, "then I put on my brakes as quickly as possible. I had been driving on the right side of 17th street, but T don't know which side the other car was on." As no questions were asked of Eyan by the jury, he was allowed to leave the stand. Merle Jones, the driver Jof the Ford roadster in which Armstrong was killed, was then called to the witness stand. Jones gave practically the same testimonial as Eyan con cerning the effects of the accident. He stated that he believed that Eyan could not see the roadster until it was almost to him. Jones Testimony "I believe that Eyan could not ston his car," Jones stated. "I was driving about 15 miles per hour, and Eyan's car was traveling at a rate of about SO miles an hour. I turned my car and made an attempt to get away because it didn't seem like he saw me. I was not uncon scious although Armstrong was when his body was taken from under the car. His body was under the back of the seat with his head resting under the top. He was bleeding profusely about the head and ears." Jones was asked by the jury what kind of a car Eyan drove and he replied that it wa3 a large Marmon sedan. Walter B. Stevens, 515 So. 17th street was then called on the witness stand. Stevens stated that he saw the cars approaching the intersection as he looked up the street for his daugh ter who was on her way home from school. "The Ford was entering the intersection, so I turned around and started toward my door, thinking that the other car would surely slow up. I heard the screeching of brakes and heard the rcash. "I he driver oi the Marmon evi dently did not see the other car. As soon as the crash happened I helped to lift the car from the men who " rfffiSiL' 'iiiiie ava - mbmii m.

I called the am bulance. I believe that the Ford was going 15 or 17 miles per hour and that the Marmon was going 25 miles an hour or better." Versions Coincide Channing Baker, 54 1 So. 17th street, next testified concerning the crash. He stated that he was driving J the second car back vt the Marmon I and that he was going about 0 miles I an hour, although the Marmon was keeping well ahead of him. His ver sion of the crash was practically the same as that of the other witnesses, W. Mawson, 544 So. 17th street, testified that the Marmon traveled up over the curb as far as the back wheels before it was brought to a stop. "The right side of the Ford," he continued, was the most damaged, and there didn't seem to be any dam age done to the Marmon sedan." H. S. French. Eobert Watt, and Amos Allen, fraternity brothers of Armstrong, residing at 1630 K street, testified as to the effects of the collision. Their stories were alike as to the condition of the car. Dr. S.Tj. M. Thompson, the phys ician attending Armstrong, was called upon for testimony but he did not appear. Ed Brandes, a fraternity brother of Armstrong testified that he was in the car directly behind the Mar mon sedan. He stated that he saw the accident while about twenty-five or thirty yards behind the Marmon. He also declared that the Marmon had passed him at 15th and 0 street and was traveling about 30 or 35 miles an hour all the way down 17th street. In his opinion Eyan did not apply any brakes when about to strike the other car. James Peters, 911 So. 13th street, stated that the Marmon traveled about twenty-four feet before it could be stopped after the crash, and that the front wheels were over the curbing about four feet on the three fool embankment. Cecil E. Wadlow, undertaker, tes tified that he took care of the body, and found that death seemed to have been caused by a fractured skull be hind the right ear. He also stated that he found numerous bruises on the body and burns on the legs. Verdict at 11 No other witnesses were called and the six-man jury retired for con ference. Eyan was in a nervous con dition at the time. The time passed and the jury did not seem to be ready with a statement. The little clock in the chapel struck eleven o'clock. Shortly after eleven, the door opened and the jury came in with their verdict. Eev. Dean R. Leland of the Uni versity Methodist church conducted a short prayer service after the in quest for the members of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, Armstrong's fam ily, and those who desired to attend The body was taken by Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Armstrong to St. Paul for burial yesterday afternoon, assisted by a St. Paul undertaker.

Address (Continued from Page 1) merit any may be expressed or re warded in many ways, as by a smile, a word of encouragement, honorable mention, applause, a prize, a ribbon, a Croix de Guerre, or a membership in an honorary society such as the French Academy, the Eoyal Society, the Legion of Honor or Phi Beta Kappa. Without question such recognition is a great encouragement to merit, even though we may hold that in the last analysis, "Virtue is her own reward.'' "As to scholastic honors they are worth more to some classes of stu dents than others, as may be easily seen by considering the fact that seme try for them and some do not. Of those who try some win and some lose, but even those who failed to win the prizes may gain quite as much as the others, and even more, especially when they have broadened their minds by wide reading rather WS ARE Wti. ,N M BUCK'S FOOTWEAR ' 3 I ' J "u Mil I One of our many attractive spring mod- j One of our many attractive spring mod els, narrow heel, high graceful arch, and slender ankle effect.

"But to all who heartily partici pate, the contest itself is well worth while for struggle is part of life itself and rivalry, when kept within bounds, is one of the most vaulable motives to worthy effort and attainment In this way scholastic honors may, and doubtless do, provide a valuable stim ulus to effort and to the develop ment of latent mental power. It in pleasant, too, to win, as all know who enjoy games or contests of any kind. Also it shows what one can do and is an encouragement to do better in the future. "As a matter of fact, the qualities which give success in scholarship are the same as those which make for success in after life: strength of body and mind, memory, determina tion and courage. All thfs, of course, assumes that college instructors know what scholarship is and are able to gauge the degree of excellence in this respect to which their students attain. .11.1. "Unfortunately, many students do not try for scholastic honors, either because they lack ability or because they do not care for such things However, the majority of our stu dents seem to be more or uess inter ested in their grades, and if they cannot obtain a first class stand ing in the nineties we will say tney are ambitious to be in tiTe sec ond, the third or the fourth classes, AMJ - ..1 It . .

Respect for Scholarship "However, there is not that re spect for high scholarship which there should be in an institution which professes to stand for scholar ship first of all, for there are many competing phases of college life, such as athletics, society, College politicr and activities of other kinds. "But whatever may be thought is the value of scholastic honors, un questionably scholarship itself is of the greatest to the world, and any thing that may serve to promote it in the least degree is surely worth encouraging. If we may reasonably infer that is has been a power for good. Among its most distinguished O St. jkONLY a "MM"!

"From this cursory review of the subject several conclusions might be drawn, among which I will mention only a few: scholarship is not the on ly thing in life; scholarship should be encouraged; the Phi Beta Kappa society can and does help in this re gard; tests of scholarship might be improved; there is danger of intel lectual snobbery; there is danger al so of resting on one's oars and not continuing the good work so well be- gin. finally, m our future life, we may safely follow the motto of Phi Beta Kappa, "Philosophy is the pilot of life."
