              vote for senior president will be taken tomorrow the revote for the president of next year's senior class will be taken tomorrow from 9 a m to 5 p m in drown hall the election of wednesday may 10 resulted in a tie between richard n lindabury and ben l bishop each of whom re ceived s3 votes this tie came as a result of the decision to reject all unsigned ballots group makes league plans to be issued to swell the volume of governmental liability and risk and the objective of the whole matter will be achieved he says a rise in the price of silver but who will benefit by a rise in the price of silver in all the vast amount of propoganda for silver the only reason advanced for gov ernment action is that a rise in the metal's price will benefit india and china and thereby stimulate world trade shows fallacy in plan he claims that the argument is unsound since the indian people have not been on the silver standard for 40 years china the only important country on the sil ver standard would probably be damaged by a rise in the price of silver he thinks since it would so greatly reduce chinese exports that the reaction would probably still further reduce her purchases from the rest of the world dr carothers asks his readers to consider finally the body that con trols the delicate financial mechan ism the congress of the united states in the main without equipment to grasp the fundamen tal principles of monetary science and not even aware of the ma jor events in the history of the country's currency look still fur ther and find in the senate a group of men shrewd and powerful com mitted to the interests of a single monetary commodity this is the setting he claims for the extra ordinary drama in which silver has once again made her re-entry on a stage that has repeatedly presented an american tragedy with silver in the leading role in all the realm of human af fairs there are no problems so com plex no forces so delicate as those involved in the relationship of mon ey to prices credit and international exchange stated dr neil caroth ers professor of economics and di rector of the college of business ad ministration in the first of two ar ticles on the history of silver which appeared in sunday's herald-trib une dr carothers presented his views on what he calls the silver racket he points out that all through american history there runs a sin ister story of silver from the mis taken adoption of bimetallism by alexander hamilton to the raid on the public treasury by the pittman act of 1918 dr carothers feels that the provision of president roose velt's inflation measure of april 20 to permit payment of the war debts in silver bullion is the famous bland-allison act of 1878 in a new dress aided silver producers this act stimulated silver pro duction and caused the treasury to pile 500,000,000 silver dollars in its vaults and to issue silver certificates simply warehouse receipts which are worth one dollar each only as long as the government's credit is good he claims dr carothers explains that the silver payment clause calling for a limit of 200,000,000 to be paid in silver will result in the permanent removal of a great mass of silver from the world market since the metal received will be deposited in the vaults of the treasury there to join the useless millions lying in the dust for the past half century and against which silver certificates are dr.l.a.shoudy will lecture garber exhibit is being held musical clubs will entertain in new york to make their last ap pearance of year 80 to present program

presented for 26th time success of mass given as memorial to dr j fred wolle suggests continuance next year dr bruce carey conducts choir in chapel saturday that the choir rendition of johann sebastian bach's mass in b min or saturday in packer memorial chapel was considered noteworthy is shown by the alacrity with which the managers of the yearly festivals met during one of the in termissions to vote a re-appearance of the choir here next year it had been rumored that the fes tivals held at lehigh with but one interruption since 1912 might be discontinued because of the death last january of dr j fred wolle famous interpreter of bach and di rector of the choir but the leader ship of dr bruce carey who con ducted the choir saturday seemed to justify a continuance of activities in 1934 dr carey is head of the depart ment of music at girard college and conductor of the mendelssohn club of philadelphia any decision to re tain his services has not yet been made

director the choir sang dr wolle's favorite hymn chorale world farewell dr wolle has done much to pro mote interest in bach in this coun try in 1888 having made an ex haustive study of the master's
