The occasion has been designated as John W. Atherton day by Butler officials and students, in honor of the financial and executive secretary of the university. A downtown parade, flag-raising at the stadium, the promise of a record Indianapolis football crowd and general school spirit have combined to produce among Butler students and local enthusiasts a determination to win from the champions of last season’s Big Ten conference and the alma mater of George (Potsy) Clark, Butler’s director of athletics. Two Bands in Escort Tire parade downtown was to leave the Union station at 11:30 a. m. with two bands, fraternity and sorority floats and college grid fans acting as an escort for the Illinois delegation who were to arrive at 11:15 a. m.

Flag raising will be accompanied by three bands, and the explosion of bombs by the Lion Tamers, a Butler pep organization. Honor to Atherton The Ft. Benjamin Harrison band will play the national anthem, the Butler musicians will play “Gallery of Memories,” and the Illinois band will render the Illinois school song as flags of the two universities are flung to the November breeze.

SMILES BY SUN GOD
Mikado Crowned Under Rainbow
BY MILES W. VAUGHN United Press Staff Correspondent KYOTO, Japan, Nov. 10.—Under a radiant rainbow—an omen of good luck—Hirohito today was crowned emperor of all Japan in a colorful rite that was as old as the Japanese empire. Guns roared a salute as the new emperor, the 124th in Japan’s history, and his empress mounted the thrones in the throne room of the royal palace and promised 75,000,000 Japanese that the rule of the new administration wiuld be faithful and happy.
There was a tremendous crowd looking on as Hirohito No Miya and his wife, Nagako, assumed the rule of this great empire in rites that were colorful, fiUed with pageantry and awe-inspiring. The day was ideal. A rainbow formed in the north and many pointed and remarked on the good omen.
nan u * n SHORTLY after mid-day, the emperor ascended the black and gold throne from the rear. On either side stood the three symbols by which Hirohito was given the divine right to rule—the divine mirror, the sacred sword and the sacred beads. Two gentlemen in waiting removed the curtains from around the throne and revealed the new emperor to the assembled masses. Two ladies-in-waiting did the same task for the empress, who was seated on a smaller throne.
The sacred trinity of the Confucian belief was carried in front of the throne. Then Hironhito arose. He gripped a baton and held it against his breast. The Empress likewise arose and held a hi-ogi, a brilliantly decorated fan, in her hand. Princes of the royal blood saluted. Premier Baron Tanaka strode to a position of prominence on the platform after which the new emperor read a rescript announcing his enthronment.
nan is a a THE crowd which attended this vast ceremonial was colorfully dressed. Officials who guarded the outer gates wore their ceremonial uniforms, consisting of a coronet with a pennant of silk gauze colled at the back, and short robes of blue, brocaded. Each carried a broad sword.
The guards of honor had taken their places early in the morning and were there to greet the foreign dignitaries, who started arriving shortly before noon. When the emperor read the rescript his voice was loud and extended to all of the vast crowd. He declared that, like his ancestors, he looked upon the state as his own household and the people of the nation as his children.
There was a strange contrast •between ancient rites and modem appliances at this colorful. ceremony. Each part of the ritual was that handed down through the centuries of Japan’s history; the robes worn by the emperor and empress and other dignitaries were similar to those of hundreds of years ago. And yet the entire proceedings was broadcast through the nation by a special radio hookup.

‘BIG BILL’MAY QUIT CHICAGO MAYOROFFICE Rumors Hint Thompson to Resign After Crushing Defeat at Polls. MACHINE IS TRAMPLED Loses Ground Steadily Since Last Spring When Deneen Won. BY JAMES K. MARTINDALE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—Unconfirmed rumors flew about the city today that Mayor "Big BUI" Thompson was about to resign as a result of the crushing defeat which is political organization has suffered at the polls. Thompson would not comment, which was considered unusual in ’ lew of his booming denial of such i-umors in the past. But whether he resigns or not, there is no question about his "America first" organization being politically defunct. Steadily Lost Ground “Big Bill the Builder’’ began losing ground last spring when the Republican group headed by United States Senator Charles S. Deneen defeated the “America first” ticket in the primary. Robert E. Crowe was eliminated in his fight for re-nomlnation as state’s attorney, the most powerful political job in Chicago; Len Small was defeated for renomination foe. Governor, and immediately after the primary the scandals against “Big Bill’s” organization began to break. Morris Eller, his son Judge Emmanuel Eller, and sixteen other henchmen of the Crowe-Thompson-Small group were indicated in connection with one murder and a dozen sluggings and kidnapings which had taken place during the voting. At the election this week the rout of the Thompsonites was completed. The only Republican that got into office on the Cook county ticket was Judge John A. Swanson, the man who defeated Crowe in the primary. All the successful candidates save Swanson were Democrats. Others May Resign In addition to the pallor which political defeat has brought to his once ruddy cheeks , “Big Bill’s” health is failing. He is back in town now after a long rest in the Wisconsin woods, but he is not the thundering giant who a few short months ago was tilting at the twofold "menace” of King George of England and prohibition. At his headquarters in the Sherman hotel today he was holding conference with the remnants of his once powerful political party. Michael J. Faherty, president of the improvements board, left town hurriedly under an avalanche of rumors that he was about to step aside because the improvement bonds which he and Thompson had urged on the people were disapproved in the election.
There were also reports that Morris Eller, city collector, was about to resign.

GOOD WILL MISSION WILL TAKE HOOVER TO SOUTH AMERICA
Decision to Make Extended Tour Regarded Brilliant Statesmanship. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 10.— President-Elect Hoover’s decision to make an extended South American tour as a prelude to his administration is regarded as a brilliant stroke of statesmanship and appears to promise an unusual career in the White House. It is a “good will” mission on a grand scale, something unique. No other President-elect ever undertook anything like it. The only presidential move that rivals it is Woodrow Wilson's visit to Europe to swing sentiment among the people there behind his League of Nations scheme and to participate in the peace conference. Harding, as President-elect, took a trip to the Panama Canal, but that was of a different nature. He did not use a battleship, but went on a private liner. Goes on Definite Mission It is a definite mission upon which Hoover goes when he steams out of San Diego harbor, within a week or ten days, on the battleship Maryland, flagship of the battle fleet, for his South American tour. He plans to start his administration of the nation’s affairs by assuring good will among the Latin-American neighbors, whose trade now is a source of rivalry with European nations. He hopes to forestall in his administration any such trouble as that which has occurred in recent years in Mexico and Nicaragua. It is not considered likely Hoover will visit Nicaragua, though this has not been finally determined. The itinerary, not yet completed.
German yis trying to forget. Unlike the United States, France and Great Britain, there is no official recognition of Armistice day or of that fateful Nov. 9, when the government fell and the monarchy gave way. The brisk life of the countryside and of the streets in the major cities, gave little hint of # that dark hour ten years ago. Some newspapers commented on it, but the people seemed more inclined to ignore the anniversary of the war’s ending.
provides for a trip southward along the west coast from San Francisco to Valparaiso, Chile, with stops at the Panama canal and Lima. Peru, then to Santiago and across the Andes to Buenos Aires and back by Montecideo and Rio De Janeiro. The countries to be visited include Panama, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. Visit to Havana
Hoover will visit Havana, Cuba, on the return northward. During his stop at Panama on the way south he will inspect the canal, riding on the Panama canal railway to the eastern end. From Havana, the Maryland will turn northward to New York, where the President-elect is expected to land in the early part of the new year. If Hoover stops at Nicaragua, he may investigate the possibilities of the long-discussed Nicaraguan canal, in which he has taken an interest. - Final details of the South American trip await completion of diplomatic negotiations with the countries whch Hoover plans to vsit. He is expected to confer with naval officials here Monday, and announce the itinerary at that time. The Maryland left San Francisco today for Santa Cruz, for an Armistice day celebration, and will go from there to San Pedro to make preparations for the voyage. Son Will Make Trip Whether Mrs. Hoover will make, the trip has not been determined. The President-Elect will take his younger son, Allan. South America is the only continent Hoover has not visited in his world travels. He has been in close touch with its trade developments as secretary of commerce, and has devoted considerable study to the trade situation. This trip, likewise, will remove him from the ceaseless pressure from office-seekers which every President-elect faces soon after his victory at the polls, and during the long sea trip he can plan his administration. Hoover will make his first public appearance today since his election when he goes to the Stanford-Santa Clara football game in the Stanford stadium.

Chairmen of Three Wards Said to Have Raised Rebellion Banner. THREATEN TO QUIT COLD Precinct Committemen to Join Move for New District Chief. Mutiny spread today in tlie legions of George V. Coffin, Seventh district Republican chairman. The first real break in the dictatorial power which Coffin has held In Republican affairs in five year3 may be the result, unless the chieftain who rode in with the Ku-Klux Klan and weathered the storms which followed is able to stop the tide of disaffection, political observers said. Notice Served by Leaders Hutsell and Edwards arc understood to have served notice that either a new leader will be obtained or they quit cold. Young is trying to become the leader. He is satisfactory to neither Hutsell or Edwards, who were understood to be discussing A. M. Glossbrenner, business man and member of the Republican group which fer years has been distressed over Coffin’s leadership. The Coffin leaders were worried over reports that revolt centered around County Clerk George C. Hutsell. chairman of the Fourth ward; William Edwards, chairman of the First ward, and Todd Young, chairman of the Seventh ward. The First and Fourth wards are two of the largest in the city and always are depended upon by Republicans to bury with Republican majorities any lead which Democrats may have built up elsewhere in the county. The Fourth ward in last Tuesday’s election gave Hoover a 6,000 majority. Behind the ward chairmen were numerous precinct committeemen, reported to be awaiting. only the appearance of a real leader before joining the break from Coffin. In the excited buzzing of politicians about the courthouse, there was considerable talk of calling precinct committemen together and deliberately and publicly unseating Coffin. Action Likely to Wait In view of the fact that there Is no county primary for a year and a half, it appeared unlikely that the revolt would go that far at this time, there being no particular reason for an organization. Meanwhile, County Chairman Omer Hawkins rushed about the courthouse Friday afternoon attempting to stem the tide. He has been Coffin’s “man Friday” for years. Hawkins at first refused to believe the reports of the mutiny until he went to Hutsell’s office and was told some things by Hutsell himself, in the presence of a reporter. County Commissioner George Snider stood by Coffin. “The entire situation has originated from a bunch of soreheads,” said Snider. “The thing has been going on through the entire campaign. There isn’t another election until 1930 and that will be time enough to make a change.” Criticism Causes Breaks The break from Coffin appeared to have been started because the Fourth and First ward chairmen had been criticized as not having “gone down the line,” and because the chairman and precinct committeemen have become tired of the odium attaching to members of the “Coffin organization.” Coffin silently was watching developments while Hawkins did his leg work. Other interested watchers were the leaders of the C. Otis Dodson faction, the old Jewett-Roemler-Lemcße faction, and the old Shank faction, who were reported ready to join any real movement to rid the county organization of Coffin, but not ready to participate in any move merely to shelve Coffin and replaca him with one of his henchmen.
