in the dormitories are supposed to elect. I

editorial in todnj's Pentis.vlvaninn. a
petition to John V lovett. president
of the senior class and likewise president
of the undergraduate council, and a de
mand by the council that democratic
government be restored in the dormi
tories. The proctors against whom the stu
dents are iucensed are Dr. II. Fozel and
Dr, M. U. Fitzpatrick, who live in the
dormitories and who with the dormi- ,
tones' committee of thirty umlcrgrad I
uates are supposed to be responsible for i
the discipline maintained within the
walls. J
Name Is Withheld I
The name of the senior student who
was expelled has been withheld.
The cause of his expulsion was a !
prank which aildccJ to the merriment ot
the University tome months ago. One
night, in the last term, there was a
Class fight in the dormitory uuadrangle
between members of the freshman and
sophomore classes. Several hundred
men answered the yells of "fresh out'
and "Oh, sophs," that brought the clnns
piling from evcrv dormitory house cyi
tbe quadrangle. The fun was going fast
and furious, with midnight not far dis
tant, when the senior classman, either
because he wanted to get to sleep or to
add to the general fcstivitv of the oc
casion, turned in a riot call to the police.
A wagonload of the law's guardians
responded as fast as a motor patrol
could bring them. They didn't know
from the riot call that the fight wan in
side the walls of the quadrangle. When
they found what the trouble was they
discreetly withdrew and left the under
craduates to fight it out.
Kept Out of Quadrangle
The proctors investigated, learned
that the telephone call had been sent by
a senior, satisfied themselves as to his
Identity, and then formally expelled him
from the dormitories. So strict an in
terdict was set against the offender that
the guards at the dormitory gates will
not let him even visit the quadrangle.
He Cr an outcast and an etile, his
friends pay, and they call the whole
proceeding an outrage.
The dormitory is supposed to take
cognizance of al disciplinary matters.
There arc thirty houses in the dormi
tory system, each of which is supposed
to elect a representative. The students
claim that the custom has been en-i-roaebed
upon by authority, so that the
proctors have proceeded in this matter
Trithont even consulting the undergrad
uates. The' Pennsylvania sajs editorially
in its current issue:
"The students should be adequately
represented and a regular trial held.
'Placing of arbitrary power in the hands
of two men to expel arbitrarily with
out Investigation is not desirable. There
is no use to permit autocratic methods
to rule the situation."

EAST INDIAN HERE
IEW RELIGION
Immigration Authorities Detain
Visitor, Who Says He Is
a Missionary
AY BE SENT BACK
Spi ending a new Oriental religion
without the svvoul is uphill work, but
as it is necessary under modern con
ditions to proceed without the sword.
Mufti Muhnmmed Sadiq, missionary
from thc Ahmodia Church in India,
has come to this country without side
arms of nnv sort to convert America.
He is at the immigration station nt
Gloucester, and there is some doubt
that he will be allowed to enter thc
COUUtl. .... ,
What will be done with him is under
consideration by thc imraigiation au
thorities. Mufti, who is a highly educated, el
dirlv man, arrived in Philadelphia from
Liverpool on the steamship Hnverford
last Hatutday. Before sailing for
America, he was a missionary iu Lng
land for three years. He said that he
made ".0(1 converts, including Solomon
Feit, a London iron manufacturer.
He h a follower ot a new prophet,
Ahmad, who has failed to attract ns
much attention as Mohammed, because
hr wasn't so rough about starting
things. The new movement is called
a branch of thc Mohammedan faith,
but as it denies some of the funda
mental principles, it is really n new
religion Mohammed held that he was
tlm last of the prophets nnd built his
ii-ligion upon ill religions that preceded
him. The Ahniadia belief is that
prophets will come to the world con
stants . The latest, they hold, was
Ahmad, who preached in India between
1SSS and 1I10S. His son. Mahmud, is
now hear of thc movement.
Mufti Muhainmcd Sadiq came to this
countif with elaborate printed matter
and all "arrangements made for an ac
tive prosel.vttng campaign.
"Jlv intentirn. ne saiu iuuuf i
the Gloucester immigration station,
"is to start my work iu Jsevv York
and then extend it to other cities I
know no one in this country. There
are no converts to thc Ahmadia move
ment here and 1 know no one in this
rountrv. I come ns a missionary, with
belief in the work before me."
As he talked he attracted much at
tention among thc other persons detain
ed at the station because of thc dark
green turban on his head nnd the strange
cut of the slate gray garments he wore.
He prepared this digest of the re
ligion he hopes to introduce into this
country:

LONG ACCUSATION IS READ
U the Associated Press
Paris, Feb. 17. Joseph Cnillaux.
foimer premier of France, was plaqcd
on trial this afternoon before thc Sen
ate. sitting us a high court, chnrged
with conspiracy against his countrj in
time of war.
The accused man entered the cham
ber accompanied bv three police offi
cers. The roll call of the court was
at once taken up. There was. Ji large
attendance, very few senators being
absent.
The trial is expected to last between
two and three months. Theodore Les
couvc, procurator ot thc French re
public, is conducting the case for the
state, assisted oy M. Rcgnault and
Captain Moruet. who piosccuted llolo
Pasha for tieason. Cnillaux Is de
fended by M. Demange. who was attor
ney for 'Captain Drefuss.
M. Caillaux. iininaculatelv clad in
new clothing, nppeared in the best of
health. He had a slightly boied loote
while listening to thc reading of thc
wnirant bj Leon Bourgeois, pusident
of thc Senate, which formally opened
the trial.
Outside the Senate chamber great
crowds gatheied before thc proceedings
to watch the arrival ot the senators anu
the defendant. A strong contrast was.
afforded between the children nnd the I
midiuettes. clad in the multicolored i
raiment of the mauli grus, chatting and
ioking through their fancy masks, and
thc sober garb and serious demeanoi of
the senators as group bv group they
passed silentlv into the chnmbei.
The reading of the net of accusation
by M. Lescouvc occupied the court until
thc late afternoon, as the document is
a voluminous one. At thc conclusion of
the reading the court will be adjourned
until Friday, when the examination of
M. Caillaux will be begun.
The adjournment over tomorrow aud
Thursday is necessitated by the fact
thnt the senators aie to attend the cere
mony of inauguration of President
Deschanel tomorrow, and on the day
following will sit to 'receive the presi
dential message.

"Soviet Ambassador" Dedlines
to Produce Codes and
Names of Couriers
18 (ho Associated Press
Washington. Feb. 17. More testi
monv regarding Russian Soviet Govern
ment attempts to establish relations
with American business concerns was
given today when the Senate subcom
mittee investigating soviet activities in
thc United States resumed its examina
tion of Ludwig C. A. K. Martens, self-
stvled soviet ambassador.
Chairman Moses presented protests
from the Packard Motor Car Co. and the
Wcstinghouse T.lectric Co. against Mar
tens's assertions that they had sought
to trade through him with Rusin.
Martens coueeded it was possible that
they had been merely solicited to sell
goods, nnd had not sought orders.
Martens declined to submit all his
instructions, secret or otherwise, from
the soviet government. He said lie was
willing to give everything thnt he could
submit, but not his codes, names of
couriers, etc.
"Who is Hueharin?" Wade II. Kllis.
committer counsel asked.
"He is editor of La Pravada, a Rus
sian newspaper." said Martens.
"That's an official organ of jour gov
ernment, isn't it?"
"No. of the Communist party."
"Did you sec dispatches in the morn
ing papers concerning a message signed
hv Hueharin. seized in Tuglnnd, urg
ing in lnllaninvitory language revolution

"Yes," Mnrtens said, "I only saw
it there, however."

AoDreciates Compliment, but
Hasn't $10,000,000 Not
British Citizen
"ADMITS" DOING BIG WORK
Now York, Feb. 17. Herbert Hoover,
boomed in some quarters as a presiden
tial possibility, has written to Caspar
W, Hodgson, of Yonkers, head of the
World Hook Company, In lepl.v to lot
ton and telegrams which Hodgson sent
him In the last few weeks. Hodgson is
nn old college nssocintc of the former
food administrator. Hoovers letter,
dealing in n light vein with stories con
ycrning his activities that have gained
credence recently, follows:
Mr. Caspar W. Hodgson,
. Dnnr llodeson I have noted jour
feeling that I should answer some of
the solemn discourses on my private
life aud crimes, I do seem to get Into
the way of politically minded folks
even when tr.ving to keep out of poli
tics. A $10,000,000 Mystery
Some tilings that have been said
of me cause me a sense of financial
ovei sight. For instnnce, I have made
quite careful inquiries und I regret
that so fur I uiunot find:
(a) The 10,000,000 I nm said to
have made in my early youth, or even
middle age, or altogether, or any ic
spei table part of it.
(b) The investments that I am sup
posed to have iu Greut Britain.
Like thc negro porter who was
asked to change $10, I am giatcful
for the compliment. I am sony that
these sums do not exist, for they
would bo useful for children's relief.
I have also given deep consider- .
atiou to thc other items mentioned :
(a) Am I a British subject? Did
I ever apply ifor such citizenship? No.
Many geucrations of persecuted
Quaker ancestors would rise in their
graves at such a discovery. They
should remain quiet, however, for no
Californiuu could livu three months in
London climate und become a British
citizen if lie knew it, One thing that
reassures me that this did not happen
without my knowledge is that thc
British refused to allow me to come
into their island during thc war with
out an American passport. Also, I
feel that -my accent was disinfected
ot nuy English, French, Chinese,
Russian or other taints by my pres
ence in the United States a portion ot
every calendar year of my life ex
cept three even including the five in
which thc United States has exercised
its right to draft my services, a good
portion abroad,
(b) Did I ever rent a residence
nbro'id? I plead guilty of this tiimc,
but in mitigation I do nppeal to the
feelings of fathers who object to
hotel life for babies and children.
Lost: One Good Lumh
(c) What ibout the political lunch
where I was supposed to hnvc entered
upon a dreadful conspiracy against
the weal of thc American people? My
leal distress in this mutter is not to
prove nn alibi or even to compluiu
that my name was nut evui mention
ed, us the guests nsseit, but it is that
I was not even invited, uud therefore
lost nn excellent lumh.
(d) I plead guilty to the criminal
charge of pursuing my englneciing
profession iu foreign parts ngaiu and
again. I have a fervent hope, how
ever, that this new doctrine of
criminality will not deter our citizens
from extending American professions
nnd business nn.vwheio in the world.
They always bring something home,
nnd pay tuxes on it.
(e) I gather also that it is a moral
turpitude on m part to have mun
nged large enterprises. The hope to
rise from thc runks of labor to the
ranks of management will, however,
probably not be crushed from the
hi arts of the American boy even bv
this onslaught.
Falthfullv vours,
