Members of the Ingham County Bar association will attend the funeral In a body, leaving Lansing on the 1:32 car Sunday afternoon. There is a prevailing opinion In the state house that Oov.

Ferris and Governor-elect 81eeper may hold a conference and that Gov. Ferris will agree to appoint the man whom Sleeper has in mind as Hainan's successor. By such a move the new member of the commission would be able to step Into the harness at once Body Arrives In Mason. MASON. Nov.

IS. The body of Lawton T. Hemans. chairman of the state railroad commission, and probably the most prominent figure In Michigan's Democrat circles, was brought to Mason from Battle Creek, at 4:30 Friday afternoon on a special train put at the disposal of the family by the railroads of the state. Mr.

Hemans was perhaps the most prominent man that Mason has ever produced, and for the pant two years his many friends have been concerned over his continued 111 health. He began his political career as mayor of Mason, in 1R91, when but 27 years of age. At this time he was the youngest mayor In the state, and ws known as Michigan's kid mayor. Mr. Hemans has always been much Interested In horticulture, and when mayor attempted to Interest the city Ir.

beautifying Its streets, etc. He also undertook to make a city park, this effort however finally proving unsuccessful. For some years he hns spent much of his time on the oid Hemans fnrm In Aiirelins. where ho enjoyed work In the open. Mr.

Hpmans was of lltomrv turn, and besides his History of Michigan, which Is in use in mnny schools, he has written a hook on the Life of Stevens T. Mason which Is practically ready for the publisher. He has also contributed more or less to high class periodicals of the country. Ho served for a time as secretary of the Mnson school honrd. nnd van always much Interested in educational affairs both here and He was a charter member of the Tourist club, the oldest literary club perhaps In the oountv, and for some years acted as president of the club, only resigning this office.

Inst Rr-ntemher. The flag on the court house has hung at half mast since news of h's death reached Mason Friday morning, and will remain so until after the funeral Sunday. He Is survived lv his wife and onr-son. Charles, who Is a student at Ann Arbor. Also by nn need mother, whose home Is In Mnson.

nnd bv a brother. Bert Hemnns. slso of Mnson. Two sisters. Mrs.

Mary Itoe-ors. of Txis Angeles, and Mrs. Gertrude Gretten. of Aurellus. also survive.

I A Jury In tha city court Friday afternoon failed to agree on whether A. J. Monroe's collision with an automobile driven by George Walt of the police and tire commission was a violation of the traffic ordinance. Mr. Walt was proceeding east and Monroe driving west in Allegan when Monroe turned south in Washington ave and was struck by Walt's machine.

Monroe is being prosecuted violating the section of the traffic ordinance which gives the right hand vehicle the right of way. Under Assistant City Attorney Steln-kohl's interpretation of the ordinance section the "right hand vehicle" moving in a straight direction has precedence over another car about to turn. The case will be retried next week as soon as a new Jury can be obtained. Tomorrow morning the newly organized orchestra of the First Baptist church and school will appear at the general assembly of the school for the first time to lead in the music. The orchestra will open the service with an overture at 9:25 and lead in the singing of the hymns.

Hemans, chairman of the state railroad commission," declared Qovernor-olect Albert E.

Sleeper, today. "As a member of the state railroad commission, Lawton T. Hemans was particularly adapted for the work of handling the public utilities cases that came before that commission. Had he lived until the first of January I would have tendered him a reappointment as a member of the state railroad commission. Regardless of politics I believe he was better fitted for that particular work than any other man In Michigan." At 10 o'clock today every state de- RUPTURE Sufferers!

The Senior class of the high school carried out one of the most successful freshmen receptions In the history of tha school Friday evening, when a thousand freshmen, parents, teachers and alumni, were guests of the class of '17. The reception proper, started at 7:30, when the freshmen and their parents were escorted through tha halls of the high school, to meet the teachers and members of the board of education who stood in the receiving lines in the botany, physics and physi-ographlcal laboratories. After the formal part of the reception was over, the seniors and their guests were entertained for an hour and a half with an interesting program by members of the Senior claw. The high school orchestra opened the program with a march "The New Ideal." The Senior chorus then presented a pleasing rendition of a song popular at the high school on freshman reception nights "Hull to the Freshmen." Welcome to Freshmen.

Plummer Snyder, president of the senior class gave the address of welcome to the freshmen. "In looking tor a history of freshman, I perused many books," said the president. "In algebras I scanned the parts relating to unknown quantities. In geometry 1 looked for squares and cubes, to discover the shapes of the freshman head, but all In vain. Finally with the aid of a microscope 1 discovered that the qualities of a i (unman could be ascertained.

What I found is this. "The freshman la composed of mostly green cellular material. The cells representing the ability of a freshman are unknown, but the cells roprescntlng brain mutter and self opinion were turgid to the bursting point." This oriangement uf the fre.sh.es was linixhcd with a hearty welcome to the class of '20. Smith Young, self-possessed nnd smiling. gave the return address in behalf of the freshmen.

"Wn are preen, wo are inexperienced, and we are proud of It," was the opening paragraph of his speech. "While freshmen are green, seniors are possessed of many more faults." With th's paragraph, the freshmen addrrssre, gnve the senior their full duo us as criticism wus concerned, and added a short objurgation of the dreaded sophs as a tin-ale. He was heartily applauded by the audience. Joseph and tjtwrence Dunn, sophomores in disguise, were the next entertainers giving the Scotch sword The applause of the audience called them out for repetition of this dance. Instrumental and vocal selections by "Deed" Thorpe, "Tub" Wilson.

"Shorty" Lamerson. "Grid" Johns, Palm, Howard Donahue, and "Plum" Snyder, popular members of the senior class, was the entertainment furnished during the next 15 minutes. This program wns followed by a Dutch clog, by Joseph and Lawrence Dunn. Song Hit of Evening. The hit of the evening, a song.

"I Doubt It." composed by Miss Ernestine Hall, and sung by the senior chorus, wns the semi-final of the program. This song gave the doubtful things that would happen It certain other things happened. The high school orchestra played "Cupiedctta." followed by Swedish folk dances by the Misses Marlnn C'reyts. Gladys Britten, Priscllla Uoyce, Katherine Baker, Elizabeth Gier, Ernestine Hall, Pearl McComb, Lucy Perrln, Lulu Warner, Pauline Simmons, Carrie Meeker and Pearl Gal In. The final number, "Memories" was then sung by the seniors.

The sophomores, the scourge of the "Fresh" at the local high, celebrated the occasion by clipping the locks of 10 Freshmen, and plentifully be-xmearing the hair of all Freshles within reach, with a smelly combination of fish oil and llmburger cheese. The hair clipping was mora In evl-lence this year than before also the mell of flsholl and llmburger was atlsfactory to the Freshmen who not presented with it. 1 DEFEATS JACKSON ideals Roll Up Score of 62 to 0, Saturday Morning.
