CURRENT HISTORY
General Ericli Ludcndorff, ac
cuse:! of treason, was acquitted of
tile charges 'I'ucsday, April 1.
Adolph Hitler and former Chief of
Police Poeliner were both found
guilty and received a sentence of
fiv(> years imj)risonnient and a fine
c.f two hundred gold marks. It is
highly probable, howcner, that nei-
tlier of tlie latter two will be re
quired to serve but six months of the
tcim. After this they may be pa
rob'd on good behavior.
'rhe decision of the court was
li."iie:! gladly by tlie i)0])ulace who
h.id followed the indicted men. They
■seemed to consider the verdict a re
buke to Dr. Von Kohr, former ba
varian dictator, and his followers
who, at tile beginning, had been in
favor of the revolution and had later
deserted it. In sjiite of efforts of tlie
police, the streets were crowded witl;
rejoicing Bavarians who sliouted and
cheered Ludcndorff and siiowered
liim flowers, 'i'he General wore full
military uniform. At noon the police
liad not been sunnnoned to interfere
with the demonstration, and except
for a few local disturbances, the eit'-
Avas ( Oini)aratively quiet.
Harry F. Sinclair pleaded not
guilty to an indictment, charging
eontem])t of the Senate. There are
ten charges against him, owing to
his refusal to answer that nuihber of
questions which the oil investigation
committee put to him. He furnished
a bond of five thousand dollars.
Chief Justice McCoy in the Dis
trict Supreme Court ordered that a
special grand jury be impanelled at
W’ashington on April 16, before
whicii will be presented evidence
bearing on the charges brought about
by the investigation of the naval oil
lease. This evidence i.s now being
prejiared for presentation by a spe
cial government counsel, appointed
to act in the oil cases.
.Martin W. Littleton of New' York,
Sinclair’s counsel, accompanied him
to the court. He raised before th"
investigation committee the question
whether or not Congress had powei
to force the attendance of witnesses
before its eonnnittees. The govern
ment was represented by District
AtAtorney Gordon.
Senator Walsh stated to the oil
committee that it is his intention to
lay bare a conspiracy which existed
at the Chicago convention. Inde-
])endent investigators are searching
out rumors of this conspiracy, which
from all .sides have reached tlie ears
of Senator Walsh. The services of
these investigators were employed in
order to do away with the need for
summoning witnesses from every
where to the capital.
Practically all of the evidence
taken Tuesday, wdiein the commit
tee again began public hearings,
concerned the political activities of
Jake Hainan, Republican national
committeeman for Oklahoma. R. H.
Wilson, Oklahoma superintendent of
public instruction, said that Hamon
had told him of giving twenty-five
thousand dollars to Harr_y M.
Daugherty for campaign expenses.
DaUghertj' was Harding’s pre-con
vention manager.
J. E. Dyche, of Oklahoma City,
Hauion’s campaign manager for na
tional committeeman, denied the
btatement made by A1 Jennings that
Hamon told him of spending one
million dollars to nominate Harding,
and that two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars of this money was re
ceived by the late Senator Penrose,
of Pennsylvania.
A larger part of the witnesses sub
poenaed are excused until next week;
the committee, therefore, will prob
ably not be very active this week,
and may take a short recess.
INTERCOLLEGIATE
CAMP IS ORGANIZED
Students at Rryn Mawr, Dart-
moutii, Yale, Swarthmore, and
Northwestern will co-operate next
luinmer in maintaining an Intercol-
legiatt‘ Call))) at Woodstock, New
York, July 1st to September 17tb.
These students have assumed joint
nianagenient of tlie camp with a
committee of the National Student
Forum wlticli organized the enter
prise last summer. One hundred
and fifty students from colleges,
iinivcrsities and labor scliools are
ex])ected to visit the camp during the
summer. Twenty-five scholarships
ire available to jiay the ex]>enses of

The tamp will give students the

THE DUDE
TIV D. a. I-ANE
The dude he wore a diamond ring;
He wore his hair in eiirls;
He twirled a golden headed cane
And s])orted with the girls.
He had a silken mustache fine,
About two inches long,
And with the fumes of cigarettes
Hi?? breath was good and strong.
His foot-it was a number nine.
Crowded in a seven shoe;
He lived upon his father’s “mon”
Like other dudes all do.
If everj’one was built like me
The dude would leave the land.
And give his room to someone else
Who had some grit and sand.
If everyone was just like me
The dude would have to go;
He wouldn’t find a resting place
irntil he got below.
And when that dudish dude was dead
His e])ita])h would read;
“Here lies a dudish dudle doo,
Who wasn’t worth his feed.”
Columbia Fre.shnien recently were
liublicly tested on their knowledge
of the school songs. The Sophs were
the judges. The Freshmen who
knew their songs received a j'ellow
tag and those who didn’t know them
received a dose of shoe blacking.
Shoe blacking predominated.—Kj-

EDMUND HALLEY
1656-1742
Son of a London soap-boiler
who became Astronomer-
Royal. At the age of 20 headed
an expedition to chart the stars
of the Southern hemisphere.
Financed and handled the
printing of Newton’s immortal
Principia.
As spectacular as a
comet has been the
world’s electrical devel
opment. By continuous
scientific research the
General Electric Com
pany has accelerated
this development and
has become a leader in
the industry.
The comet came back
The great comet that was seen by William
of Normandy returned to our skies in 1910
on its eleventh visit since the Conquest
Astronomers knew when it would appear,
and the exact spot in the sky where it
would first be visible.
Edmund Hailey’s mathematical calcula
tion of the great orbit of this 76-year vis
itor—his scientific proof that comets are
part of our solar system—was a brilliant
application of the then unpublished Prin
cipia of his friend Sir Isaac Newton.
The laws of motion that Newton and
Hailey proved to govern the movements
of a comet are used by scientists in the
Research Laboratories of the General Elec
tric Company to determine the orbit of
electrons in vacuum tubes.
