Argentine Apostle Tells Authorities He Is Son of God
Held by Officers Because Doctors Believe He Is Suffering From Dementia
Buenos Aires, Nov. 2 — Jose-Vasco Paciano, founder of a new Christian cult here which has secured the unwavering devotion of its followers, is detained by the police because he believes he in the Son of God.
Jose Vespaciano lived in a humble dwelling in the Calle Margarinos Cervantes, which was furnished with the chairs and the tables made by his dexterous hands. Here in a narrow patio, among scrawny plants and flowers, the new apostle preached his doctrine of the Bible to his little horde of followers who for the most part consisted of old men without some of the believers of all alike. In Hillel there were people in the neighborhood who complained of his fanaticism to the police with the result that he is now confined.
Resembles the Nazareth in appearance he is not antireligious. The Nazareth in Christian religion. He has dark brown eyes and chestnut hair and beard. He is always clad in lace robe-like clothing, creating the impression that he has just stepped from one of the great Catholic cathedrals here.
His followers clamor furtily for his liberty, pointing out the benefits that they derived from his ministrations of service. Without other than water, mytic words and prayers, he is said to have cured members of his faithful band of the most loathsome diseases.
On the other hand the police doctors assert that he is merely suffering from a mental derangement which makes him better at handling a science addict and that the animals of abnormal psychology are filled with such examples of mononia. One of the doctors, however, with regard to the case of Vasenpitta, am
"I sincerely believe that if he lived during the Twelfth Century he would have been heralded as a saint, but as it is he is soiled as a lunatic."
Believes He Is Second Christ
Jose Vespasiano believes fully in the divine origin of Jesus of Nazareth, but he also believes that he himself, has been appointed by God as a sort of second saviour to righteousness into the world. He asserts that civilization is becoming too advanced and too complicated for the people and that the only path to salvation is the return to the simple life of faith, hope and charity.
Lawrence Choral Union Drive to Be Extended
The Argentine apposit points to the labor disputes and strikes throughout the world, the unrest in Europe, the Moroccan difficulties, the Syrian disturbances, the Chinese troubles and the immorality prevalent among all peoples as proof that civilization is not progressing, but rather deteriorating like the ones described by Roman Empire like the signs of are not the velocity of aircraft nor the whistle of machinery producing so many automobiles a minute but the spiritual purity within the hearts of the people.
The drive for members of the Lawrence Choral Union has been extended to include the rehearsal Tuesday and one or two more meetings of the chorus. The change in plan led to the second account of the bad weather last week.
The approximate membership of the chorus is 450. Efforts are being made to increase this number to six or seven hundred.

Women Ahead of Men in Average of Grades K. U. Report Proves
Highest Scholastic Attainmen Made by Phi Beta Kappa; Average High
The report of scholarship in the University for the year 1924-25, which was announced by the registrar last Saturday, makes revelations of interest to every student. Chief among them are the rank men in scholarship on the Hill. The general average for women of 3.444 is .265 above the University average, but the men's general average of 2.915 is .264 below the average. Sorority women are outranked in scholarship in the University fraternities and sororities; non-fraternity men are lowest on the list with an average of 2.742. The often-repeated statement that the busy person always finds plenty of time to study is verified by the number of activities have averages as high or higher than the University average. The musical organizations are all above the average. The Women's Athletic Association is at the top of the athletic list because team teams in
Professional and honorary sororities and fraternities have the best scholarship of any group on the HIll. This means that the university represents a class of students picked largely for their scholastic attainments. Of these organizations, Pi Beta Kappa has an average of 4.72 students and P1 Lambeth That 4.56 or B plus.
Whiteman Date Changed
The Graduate School, the School of Fine Arts, the School of Law and the School of Education are above the general average of the University. The lowest average of any school is that of the School of Pharmacy.

Stutz Describes European Type of Suburban Center
Well Planned Communities Called "Garden Cities" in Many Parts of England
The "Garden City," a new type of community, is described by John G. Stutz, head of the Kansas municipal water system, who recently returned from Europe.
"The Garden City," as it is commonly known, is very popular in Europe, particularly in England. It may be compared in location to our own city, but it is a small radius of 25 miles of the large cities, these towns always have quick means of communication with the central cities. The name Garden City was derived from the ideal arrangement; streets are laid out and improved by municipal corporations or by private companies. The streets and drives are beautifully arranged. They are not laid out on our rectangular form, but are irregular in shape, small malls and wide space surrounds widely spaced buildings.
Surrounding the town are plots of land devoted to garden, to golf links and other recreations. The entire area may comprise several hundred acres.
The town is strictly zoned. The principal part of the town of course is devoted to residences. All the shops are restricted to an area outside this resident district. Many of the towns also have their industrial districts.
The houses are of two general types in the typical English Garden City. The first is the duplex and the second is but an elongation of the duplex comprising from four to ten sections. The houses are sold or rented as the tenant may desire. However in the case of a sale only the building is sold, the company retaining title to the land and the property owner. In this manner the company retains title and can control the disposal of the land.
All the shops are owned by the municipal company as are all the public works such as light and water works. The shops quite often are all under one roof not unlike the common department store.
The limit on the size of the town, the control over the density of population, orderly arrangement and a uniform quality of architecture makes the Garden City almost idealistic in nature. The population of these towns ranges between two and three thousand.
All the buildings are constructed by the company and when sold they bring but little profit. They are sold on lower ground. They are rented the average monthly rent is approximately $12. An important item affecting real estate in England is the tax which is levied on the income of people living in the town to about 40 per cent of the income.
The crowded condition of European cities is making the Garden City very popular in Europe. An association of Garden Cities has been formed with a bureau to serve them. A book entitled "The Garden City." has been written and published, describing the urban management of the cities in England.

Party to Be in Robinson Gym Crowd Unlimited
A school for police established at Boston University last year is being continued this year. The curriculum of the school offers courses in law and medicine, the office in combats offenders and acting as prosecutors in court.
Due to the fact that the party will be held in the gymnasium this year the crowd can be unlimited thus providing more money which will be used on decoration. The lawyers propose to secure the best orchestra possible. Several bids from orchestras are now being considered and as soon as the orchestra has been decided upon the name will be announced. It is planned to make the Law Serim larger and better, so it will be one of the most parties of the year.

Total University Enrollment Tops Year's High Mark
increase Includes Students Registered in Both Summer and Fall Sessions
The total registration of the entire University since commencement last June has reached the high water mark of 5,104. This total includes the students enrolled in the school and those in the present session. The present registration in the University is the largest in the history of the school. There is an increase over the registration of last year of 5.7 per cent or 280 students. The second increased more students to the University, so it is predicted that the total registration of the present year will reach the 5,500 mark. These figures do not represent the students actually enrolled in classes, as 96% of them are enrolled at a total of 4,070 stu dents who are attending classes.
Women's Increase Is Greatest
This year there has been a greater percentage of increase in women than in men students. There are an average of 5.8 per cent over the total of last year; and there are 119 more women, representing a gain of almost 8 per cent over last year.
These figures show that, although the men students outnumber the women three to two, the women are slowly gaining on the men. Men outnumber the women in every school except in the School of Fine Arts which they comprise 322 students and the School of Education, in which there are 13 men and 61 women.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences continues to be the largest school in the University. This year over 2,300 students are taking courses in the College, while the School of Education, the smallest school, has a registration of only 74 students. The School of Engineering has a registration of over 500 students, and the third-wilding school, the School of Fine Arts, has a total of 342 students.

Criticism Has Not Harmed Discipline, Hicks Tells Jury
Large Array of Witnesses Demanded by Defense in Col. Mitchell's Mearing
Hearing
(Flushed Press)
Washington, Nov. 16, Col. William Mitchell's criticism of the war and navy preparations has not 'affected his position of the army, Liut. College, George L., Hicks, attendant of the 8th corps area, told the "jury of general" which is trying the Mitchell case today.
Hicks said he had yet to see any break-down of discipline as the result of the statement. Hick's statement a direct confrontation with Mitchell in a department against Mitchell. The statement came on cross examination of the witness by Rep. Frank Reid, Mitchell's attorney. An imposing array of witnesses, including cabinet officers and other high governmental officials, was present by the defense when the court marital of Col. William Mitchell furnished for its fourth day today.
Subpoenae for 73 witnesses in all wars asked, indicating an effort by the counsel for the flying colonel, to leave into every phase of military and naval activities so as to revive the subject of the naval disasters in recent months. The witnesses include Secretary of Navy Wilbur B. Hall of War Department of Agricultural Affairs, Mrs. Zachary Landowd, Donald Macmillan, head of the Arctic expedition; Rep. D. R. Anthony, Jr., of Kansas.
The list did not include President Coolidge, the defense having abandoned its tentative plan to ask his appearance, after an investigation disclosed little likelihood that he would or could remain at the court martial.
According to a statement by Colonel Morel Monday, he will employ the entire Mitchell statement, since Reed objected to his road escapes except for the one in which he marched and Reid which finally resulted in a new motion by Reid to strike off charges and specifications.
Col. Blanton Winship promptly overruled this motion.
The prosecution called its first witness, A. H. Yager, newspaper man of San Antonio, Tex., who admitted receiving the statement from Mitchell. Yager produced copy of a statement which Mitchell had named him, but the other sides denied him diplomatic marks on it made by the imprint operator.
Winship over-ruled Keil's object, claiming that the court would not pay attention to pencil marks.
