Representatives of the major Greek letter societies of large colleges and universities attended. President W. II. P. Faunce of Brown University was the principal speaker at tho afternoon sesslori.

Ho said, In part: "The Greek "letter secret fraternities in the colleges of this country must take a firm stand for clean sport, honest work in the classroom and laboratory and obedience to law aiul order, oven the Eighteenth Amendment. They must do this if they are to Justify their existence. When tho fraternities lend a hand toward this end it will indicate a condition of health within the organizations that will create a power for the good. "The only fraternity or secret society that I am afraid of is the local one; one thfft has no national responsibilities, no national ties and no national reputation at stake. At Brown, only the recognized national fraternities are allowed to exist.

It has been proven in my college that the fraternities are an aid to good scholarship; they take an inferior intellect aim make out of it a superior scholarship." Dr. Faunce made a plea to the representatives of the fraternities to work together to the end that colleges and universities may be helped through the raising of scholarship standards. He said the sudden expansion of college enerollment was certain to create disaster unless these huge etudont bodies could be split into small groups. It was Impossible for a student to be friendly with the entire student body and the only solution or tnis proDiem, he believed, was the expansion or tne fraternities to include more members.

Newberry, is "the best man who could have been picked for the Job," in the opinion of Henry Ford, former employer of Mr. Couzens. The seat to be taken by the Detroit Mayor Is the one sought four years ago by Mr. Ford, who was defeated at tho polls by Mr. Newberry.

"Couzens is' Just the type of man needed in the Senate, not only by Michigan, but by the whole country," the motorcar manufacturer said in a statement tonight. "He is a man of immense wealth and yet ho still has the welfare of the public at heart. He is independent and fearless and likes nothing better than a fight for the common people against the special interests whioh for years have been getting an ever-tightening, grip on our Government, both Stato and National. "There aro two things upon which Mr. Couzens can be relied.

He never Willi spend a nickel for political advantage, nor will he ever let a stupid party allegiance lead him into any situation or commit him to any pollcv that Jie believes is not for the good of alf the people. "We do not more laws to prohibit abuses. What we need is the repeal of all laws that permit abuse. The Senator who is the first to clean the statute books of these evil laws will have made the first step toward eaualizing prosperity. The unequal distribution of prosperity is tho thing that is causing world-wide discontent.

The greatest weakness of American life is the fact that prosperity is unbalanced and this condition is supported by unjust laws." SPANISH CABINET QUITS (By the Associated Press.) Madrid, Dec. 2 After a Cabinet meeting this evening Premier Sanchez Guerra went to the palace to submit to the King the resignation of the entire Ministry. After a lengthy conference with the King the Premier received ratification of the King's confidence, and on Tuesday will appear before tho Cortes with a reconstructed government. Nurse in Farewell Note Calls Penniless Folk "My Peopie." Oliva Stone has' a chance for life, according to Dr. Menas Gregory and other physicians at BeUeviie Hospital, who stated last night that they were unable to decido how much of the bichloride of mercury she took with suicidal intent on Friday morning had been retained.

Miss Stone' told the physicians that she had emitted some of the poison an hour after swallowing it at the Hotel Marlborough. "We can't tell yet whether Miss Stone' will live or uio," said Dr. Gregory last night. "Bichloride of mercury is a slow acting poison and it will be three, or four davs before her fate is decided. Her present condition means nothing.

Dr. Anna Hochfelder, Miss isronc a attorney, last night made publifc tho only letter left by Miss Stone at tho time of her attempt at suicide. It was written to a woman reporter on The Eagle and consisted largely of an attack on Miss Laura Logan, superintendent of the Cincinnati General Hospital, of which Miss Stone was a graduate nurse. Although Miss Logan last week sent Dr.

Hochfelder a certificate of Miss Stone's graduation, she did not reinstate the woman acquitted of tho murder of Ellis Guy Klnkead as a member of the Alumnae Association, and her stand had made Miss Stone very bitter. "Won't you kindly see teat my hospital diploma and my gold medal are placed beside me in the little box when am buried," wrote Miss Stone after she had taken the poison. "Snme of the happiest years of my life were spent in nursing the unfor-' tunate patients in the Cincinnati General Hospital. Almost all of my patients were homeless, friendless and penniless, just as I am today. I know they had all suffered in some way and therefore I think of them now and wish to Join tnem.

Of a score or persons wnu tu -Bellevue last night to see Miss Stone, only Edward J. Reilly, the Brooklyn attorney, who defended her when she was tried for her life, and his friend. Dr.

Robert O'Hare of Detroit, were admitted to the patient's room for a few moments. Reilly said he was in Albany when he heard of Miss Stone's attempted suicide and her serious condition. He told reporters that if Miss StoQe lived he would try to persuade her to go to her home in Paducah, where her family reside. He offered to defray her expenses there, and Dr. O'Hare offered medical assistance.

At a late hour Miss Stone was resting quietly and seemed in a calmer state of mind. HUNDREDS SHOT IN WEST THRACE RISING AGAINST THE GREEKS Insurgents Attack Troops, Capturing Many Guns Soldiers Refuse to Fight. 'Copyright, 19SS. by The Brooklyn Eagle and Philadelphia Public Soda, Bulgaria, Dec. 2 The revolution against Greece in Western Thrace has assumed great dimensions.

The whole population of Gumuldijna and Hanthy have risen, attacking the. Greek troops, disarming them and using their weapons to arm new bands. Heavy fighting occurred near Sha- hin. Menkovo, Radja, Chela and Derbi. Hundreds were killed and wounded on both sides, the insurgents' chieftain, Topal Kedir, being among the killed.

The insurgents captured large quantities of cannon, machine guns, telegraph material, etc. The Greeks sent reinforcements but the new troops are demoralized and refuse to fight. Hundreds of refugees have arrived at Pashmakli but the Bulgarian Government, fearing food difficulties and their own population, closed the frontier.

Other resolutions called for extension of the direct primary, including abolishment of the Electoral College, and direct popular election of President and Vice President.

Untermyer urged an investigation of the Department Justice and the Alien Property Custodian's office and declared that the' as "camouflage enforcement of pr laws" by the Department Of Justice. i. -tormyer said Mr. Daughertv was "conspicuously unfit" for his office and was appointed "solely on the basis of personal friendship and po-lltica' service" for President Hird'nij. "He has made a virtual dead letter of the an'-trust law." said Mr.

Untermyer. "The war fraud cases have ended in a complete fizzle." Improper conduct in the General Electric, New Haven Railroad, United Gas and other cases also was charged against the Attorney General by Mr. Untermyer, who, in addition, sug-rested numcro'is legislative rcrorms. including amendment of the Federal Reserve Act. protection of the public against fraudulent securities, regu'ation of stock and commodity exchanges, Federal licensing of interstate corporations, transfer of anti-trust prose-cut'ons to the F'doral Trade Com mission and prohibition or tax tree securities.

Southern blvd. and 139th si. were lined with several hundred people trying to get a look at the open hole from which Mrs. Becker's body was taken. Tottering old women, toddling children and an assorted audience of male and female Idlers and sight-seers kept the police guard on the run to prevent dashes across the lot to the makeshift tomb.

Norkin's confession was made in the presence of Detective Jamew Mc-Carten, Detective Lieutenant Henry Bruckman and Assistant District Attorney Cohn. He signed each rjago of it. "Norkin lias told numerous stories before," Mr. Cohn said, "but this is the first that stands up under investigation.

Everywhere we've attempted a checkup it ha stood up." Murder Planned Long in Advance. As Norkin recounted the story, tho murder was brutal and cold-blooded to an amazing extent. It was planned long in advance. It was carried out with an efficiency and boldness that speaks of iron nerves and no conscience. In detail it resembles a Poo tale, grewsome and ghastly.

Becker. Norkin said, had often talked of killing his wife. He was then living with Miss Anna Elias. by whom he had a child, and was determined to be rid of Mrs. Becker.

He discussed several tentative ways of killing her, Norkin said. He suggested poisoning once. At another time he talked of strangling her with a cord or rope. He worked out the whole plan, so Norkin claims. Again he spoke of drowning her.

"Drowning her would bo foolish." Nnrkin say a he told Becker. "Her body would rise to the surface and be found." "Oh, I'd tie something heavy to her to make sure she wouldn't float," he quotes Becker as replying. Two days before the murder, he continued, Becker borrowed a shovel from him. He did not ask what Becker wanted with it, he said, and never suspected. Saw Pair Digging Grave.

In this connection, Morris Bloom of 571 E. 140th Bronx, who is employed across the -street from the open lot there is no fence around it told Mr. Cohn yesterday afternoon that he remembered seeing Norkin, his chief mechanic, and another man digging in the lot around April 5. Bloom said he walked across the street and Jokingly asked if they were looking for gold. He said they laughed and did not reply.

Norkin's story of the crime itself. Norkin told Mr. Cohn. was partly from sight and partly from what Becker told him. He say.i he witnessed the actual killing.

Becker told him what went just before. Around 1 a April 7. Norkin says he was in a lunch wagon at 149th st. Southern Boulevard when Becker entered. Becker asked him would he lake a ride in his car and Norkin consented.

He denies that Becker told him he was going to kill Mrs. Becker, but he admits that he surmised it.

lies the only hope of "restoring control of our Government to the people," and abrogating "those assumptions of power thiit have cost them so dearly." Largely because of this "unthink-. ing loyalty" to party, Gompers said, the "courts have been able to steal away powers which it was. never intended they should have," and which, he udded, was one of the most important causes of the loss of Government control by the people. No matter what may be tho people's will to the attainment of "progressive, constructive legislation," the speaker said, the judiciary, through its "assumed" power to declare unconstitutional the enactments of Congress, in 'ill vio ation of the constitution," exercises the power to annul that will. Asserting the judiciary exercises the "unwarrantably assumed power" to "curb or prohibit freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of assemblage," Mr.

Gompers added: "I say without the slightest possibility of contradiction that the injunction process as used in labor disputes is the result solely and entirely of an assumption of power on the part of the Judiciary. "If we aim to restore the control of our Government to tho people it is necessnry for the citizenship of the United States to organize as citizens without regard to political party affiliations' or political party obliga-tionss, faithful to the Republic of the United States and determined to carry out the restoration of that control.
