The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. XVIII--NEW SERIES VOL. III IOWA CITY, IOWA, TUESDAY. APRIL 1, 1919 NUMBER 75 BASEBALL TEAM IS IN GOOD CONDITION FOR GAME AT COE Regulars Win Easily from Second Team in Six Inning Game By Three Run Margin SEVERAL VETERANS BACK Hard Game Expected at Cedar Rapids--Coe is Working Hard--First Game of Four Coach Jones sent his baseball men through a short battle on the Iowa field last Saturday afternoon in preparation for the Coe game to be played at Cedar Rapids April 5. The Hawkeyes are fast rounding into shape and the short engagement last week end proved satisfactory. Jones' regulars had no trouble winning over the scrubs in the six innings by a three run margin. Hamilton did slab duty for the varsity with Muckler receiving behind the bat. Olson held down the first sack in old time form and Irish, a recruit from last year's freshman nine, was given a tryout at second base. Ehred at short and McIlroy on the third sack completed the varsity in-field. In the outfield Jones used Captain Brown in the left garden, Parrott in the right, and Crawford in the center position. Crawford is a colored player who hails from Columbus, Ohio. He has shown considerable class on the diamond so far this spring. He is a southpaw with no little experience as a first sacker. However, the coach is well pleased with Olson's work covering the initial bag, and it is not likely that Crawford will be used in the infield. Muckler has been holding down the receiving job in a satisfactory manner and appears to be a capable man to fill "Bonk" Frank's shoes. His only handicap seems to be a lack of experience but his work to date has warranted his starting in the Coe series. Hamilton and Belding will be depended upon to do the major part of the twirling against the Cedar Rapids team, although McIlroy has been heaving the pill in great shape. Jones has also used the last year's yearling pitcher at third base. Goodwin, who held this place on the 1918 nine is also out in suit putting up a lively fight for his old berth. The coach is forming his squad with an idea toward having a hard hitting aggregation. Early practice has been largely devoted to batting and bunting instructions, and the men who field the stick with frequent accuracy stand an excellent chance to make good. Brown, Olson, Hamilton, Belding and Ehred are all good hitters from last season, while Crawford and McIlroy of the new recruits have shown an ability to connect with the spheroid. Coe is hard at work with a veteran team with high hopes of licking the Hawkeyes. The Cedar Rapids school always gives Iowa a good battle in baseball and Jones is not expecting a walk away when he takes his squad to the Parlor City next Saturday. The Old Gold will play four games with Coe, two contests at Cedar Rapids April 5 and 12 and two at Iowa City April 9 and 15. NOTICE The University orchestra will rehearse in the band room this evening at 7 o'clock. CHIANG LIU SPEAKER ON CHINESE QUESTION The subject discussed by the World's Problem forum this week will be "Reconstruction in the Orient," and "What does Japan want in China?" The speakers will be a committee of Chinese students. Chiang Liu will be the main speaker. The meeting will be held Thursday at 7 o'clock in the Y. M. building. Y. W. C. A.

LIEUT. NATHAN SMYTHE RETURNS FROM FRANCE Lieut. Nathan Smythe, freshman liberal arts 1917, has recently returned from overseas to his home in Des Moines. Lieut. Smythe won a commission in France and served in the famous Negro regiment, the "Buffaloes," during the fierce fighting in the Argonne forest and along the Hindenburg line. Although in continuous service for more than six months he came through without a scratch. While in school Lieut. Smythe was prominent in freshman track. He ran the hurdles and dashes. MASS MEETING FOR MILITARY MEN IS THURSDAY EVENING Col. Mumma Calls Discharged Soldiers Together--Will Discuss Insurance TO PLAN AN ORGANIZATION Men Will Participate in Liberty Loan Campaign With County Next Sunday All discharged officers, and soldiers and men who expect to be discharged soon, are urgently requested by Col. M. C. Mumma of the military department to convene in the natural science auditorium next Thursday evening at 7:30. The meeting will be conducted by Col. Mumma. He will devote the time to the discussion of various military questions, concerning which considerable doubt exists at the present time. Full particulars will be furnished about the continuance of the War Risk Insurance policies taken out by service men during the war, and the reversion of such policies into other kinds of policies. The rules in regard to the wearing of the uniform after discharge and the rights and privileges in respect to this will be explained. Something will be said in regard to the bonus to be received by officers and soldiers. Col. Mumma will discuss the plans for the participation of discharged men in the Victory Liberty loan campaign in Johnson County, which is to begin next Sunday under the leadership of Prof. C. H. Weller of the University. The organizing of a former service men's society of Johnson county will be explained by the Colonel; and also the plans for establishing a University student organization of this nature will be presented. There is no intention of merging together a county organization and contemplated University student society of former service men. The latter will be entirely distinct from the county organization, says Col. Mumma. Colonel Mumma will be glad to answer at this meeting any questions of a military nature that lie within his knowledge. DEAN KAY AT WATERLOO George F. Kay, dean of the college of liberal arts, will present a paper before the college section of the Teachers' Association of Northeastern Iowa at Waterloo, Friday. SWISHER IS MAYOR Ingalls Swisher, L. L. B. '14 was elected mayor of Iowa City yesterday on the Democrat ticket with a pluralty of 211 votes. Swisher received a total of 1145 votes against Sam Morrison, the Republican candidate's total being 934 ballots. Mr. Morrison is also an ex-student of the law college. The large circle of Mr. Swisher's friends in the university will congratulate him upon his success. The city election just ended was probably one of the biggest ever witnessed in Iowa City. The popularity of both candidates was great, as evidenced from the large number of votes cast. Practically the entire city administration went Democratic. EASTER VESPER WILL BE MUSICAL PROGRAM Easter will be celebrated by a music vesper service in the natural science auditorium Sunday afternoon April 20. Appropriate Easter hymns will be sung by the University choir, composed by both the Men's and the Women's Glee clubs, under the direction of Prof. W. E. Hays. The University orchestra will play several selections also. A part of the hour will be devoted to community singing by the audience with orchestral accompaniment. FACULTY WAR ORPHAN PROGRESSING NICELY One of Five French Children Supported by University Faculty Enters School Paulette Deboue-Sart, the little adopted daughter of hte University faculty, has just started to school at her home in Pas-de-Calis, France, according to a letter received by Dr. C. H. Weller from her mother. Four other little French children are being supported by the faculty through the proceeds of that most laughable comedy, "The Rivals", presented here two years ago when Professors Lauer, Prentiss, Nutting and other dignified ones showed long suspected dramatic abilities. Paulette's mother acknowledging a draft writes in part: "You will excuse me for not having written after each payment. Mother of five children, I am very busy with household duties on one side, and additional duties to procure comfort for my family. Living in France is very high, and I have been glad to receive your assistance. The situation will not change soon. The winter of 1919 in bringing to us joy and peace, has however been a source of new troubles. The difficulty of transportation deprived us of coal during January. In order to get material to burn for the heating the house and for cooking our meals, we had to go to the woods. Paulette in order to permit me to work will enter school for little children, where her sister will take her every day. She is in good health, and I hope she will soon become accustomed to school life." REGISTRATION IS EXTENDED Alphabetical System of Registering Proves a Success, Says Dorcas Final registration date has been extended to Thursday, April 3. Because students have been attending their regular classes, the usual number registering during the first part of the week was considerably less than usual. The new system of alphabetical registration for the spring quarter has, according to H. C. Dorcas, registrar, proved a success. Registration has been handled more easily, students have been able to attend their regular classes, and the usual office congestion has been avoided. Enrollment in the different colleges will not be materially altered. Although there are a number of students entering as freshmen, and some former students are returning, this increase will be offset by those who were graduated at the end of the second term. Mr. Corcas believes that students entering this term will probably tend to increase the registration in the summer session. JUDGE HUNT LOSES LIFE IN ACCIDENT AT WEST LIBERTY Alumnus and Former Faculty Member Dies at Mercy Hospital Was Y. M. Secretary HAS FOUR IOWA DEGREES Prominent Nationally as Orator and Lawyer--Take Body to Minneapolis Injuries received when he was hit by a freight train at West Liberty Sunday morning resulted in the death of Judge Charles Norton Hunt, an alumnus of the University and a former faculty member. Judge Hunt was brought to Mercy hospital here immediately after the accident and died the same night. Judge Hunt was running from the lunch room at the West Liberty depot to catch the troop train, on which he was a passenger. The train started before he climbed aboard, his foot missed the step, and he was crushed by the train. He was on his way to Camp Dodge and intended to stop in Iowa City. He had seen service overseas as Y. M. C. A. Secretary and at the time of the fatal accident was "troop train secretary." Four degrees from the University were received by Jduge Hunt: a Ph. B. in 1880 and later in an M. A. an LL. B., and an LL. D. As a member of the faculty he was instructor in political economy. He practiced law in Iowa, Minnesota, and the Dakotas. When North Dakota became a territory, he was selected as territorial judge with civil and criminal jurisdiction. Later he gained a name for himself as a political orator and campaigned for Roosevelt in 1912. When Roosevelt was shot he filled his speaking dates. Shortly after he was offered the nomination for governor of Washington state but declined. Judge Hunt went to France as Y. secretary in May of last year. He gave travel talks on America to the soldiers dealing largely with the northwest. He returned to this country in December and has since been troop train secretary. Funeral services will be held in Minneapolis. ZET-PHILO DEBATE SCHEDULED APRIL 4 Debate in the sophomore finals between teams representing Philomathean and Zetagathian literary societies will be in the natural science auditorium Friday night, April 4, instead of tonight as has been previously announced.
