Score Of OAC-U. Of o. Basket Ball
Game Last Night.

Forty-one points TOT In favor of
OAC was the score in the basket
bali game Thursday evering, at the
Armory. between the college team
and the State University team. The
score is what was generally anti
cipated as shown bya large num-
ber of guesses on the result.
The University boys are fiom av-
erage to good individual players,
but the team has not the system
necessary to accomplish results
against OAC style Of play. Com
parison of games heretofore played
between the College, University
and Friendly teams shows that the
score is fair index of the relative
strength of the organizations al
though one basket allowed U. of
o. was a subject of much conten-
tion, the claim on the part Of OAC
being that the basket was thrown
after call of time at the close of first
half. Penland and johnson did
good work for U. of o. and Stew
ems on was unerring in securing the
single points. ay r7
On the part of OAC spectacular
plays were made by Foster and
Reed, both emerging from scrim-
images with their guards and shoot
ing the basket from near the center
OF the field, while Swami earned
rounds of applause upon plays rend-
eren possible by quick perception of
possible advantages. The 4th of
March is the date of a game in the

LOSES LICENSE
TO Do BUSINESS
Southern Railway Up Against a
New Law in Georgia Which
Works Automatically.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 1.-The license
of the Southern Railway to do business in
Alabama has been revoked by action of
Secretary of State Julian for alleged VIC
latiOh of senate bill No So. effective July
1. The action of the secretary Of state
is not in resistance to restraining orders
issued by the United States court of the
Fifth circuit. as this law is not among
those cOmba ted by the railroads, and not
included in any of the litigation now
pending in the court of Federal Judge
Jones of the Middle Alabama district.
The case upon which the revocation was
made came from the circuit court of Tai
ladega county in the shape of notifica-
ton from Clerk Mcneil that a suit had
been removed from the state court to the
federal court Secretary Julian investi-
gated the law and decided there was moth
ing else to do but mark the license
cancelled. as the action of the statute is
automatic.
Act Sc provides that when any foreign
corporation is sued in the state courts
and removed such suit from the state to
the federal courts. the clerk of the court
from which the removal was taken will
al once certify such action to the secre-
tary of state. who shall thereupon imme-
diately cancel said license and make and
enter upon the stub thereof an order in

RHINE FALLS ARE SAVED
Industrial Exploiters Fail to Get Alb.
solute Possession of One of the
Worlds Beauty Spots.

Schaffhausen, Aug. 1.-The romantic
Rhine falls, in the vicinity of this city,
have been rescued by the local council
from modern vandals, in the shape of in
dustrial explOiters, by whom they were
threatened.
The ma iority of the councillors have re-
fused to permit the erection of new water
power works for the supply of electricity
to the surrounding district. Their re-
plies to the application of the eXpioita-
ton company were decisive.
THE council is of the opinion that, not
only should the falls not be further en-
chained. but an effort should be made to
prevent an extension of the concession
already granted at its expiration in 1928
THE destruction of the present works. "
continues the official document, would
restore the original imposing magnifi-
cence of the falls, and the water power
obtained from them could easily be pro-
cured at some other point. The council.
Though aware that this is not Immediately
realizable is resolved to do everything
in its power to prevent any further dam
age to the beauty and romantic effects
of the falls"
Thousands of tourists from all parts OF
the world will applaud this decision.

the president can do something in this
case As matter of fact. the only thing
the department of justice can do is TO
see that the process of the federal court
is served and that the orders of the court
are Obeyed- In this case there has been
no difficulty in serving the process and
no disposition to disObey the orders of the
court. There is nothing else the executive
department of the government can do in
the matter
While Mr.. Cooley said he was not fami-
liar with the details of the case, ii was
his opinion that it would reach the SUI

ARBITRATION FAILED.
Strike of Packing House Transfers
in Chicago Likely.

Chicago Aug. 2.-ArbitratiOn without
an umpire proved to be a failure in the
case of the packing house teamsters and
their employers. Negotiations were
broken off today after the arbitrator for
the second time had failed to agree on
an umpire. strike of the packing
house teamsteTs was averted several
weeks ago by an agreement being en-
tered into to arbitrate the question of an
of cents an hour to all team
sters. At a meeting held on the eve of
the threatened strike the teamsters de
cided to defer the action in the interests
of arbitration. The strike vote still stands
as no action was recorded TO rescind the
action taken BIZ a vote of the member
ship. The business agent of the team
sters' union may call strike of the
teamsters at any time without voting TO
place the matter before the rank and file
of the union.

rejection of the same proposal was what
caus I'd the strike. The latter official held
that acceptance of either of MorrisSey' s
plans would be only a graceful way of
suTrendering to the brotherhood. The
brotherhood leaders declare a general
strike is now unavoidable. but that the
only road to be affected at this time is the
Colorado x Southern
There are something i'm the neighbor-
hood of 1000 brotherhood men employed by
