ALDRicH FINANCIAL BILL
Before Senate Finance Committee
No Changes Vet Made.

Washington. Jan. 15.-Little actual
Roadway was made today in the consider
alton of the Aldrich financial bill by the
Senate committee on finance. Senator
Hansbrough offered his plan to put the
supervision of the emergency currency
issue in the hands of a board instead of
in charge of the treasury department Of
flcials. headed by tie secretary of the
treasury. The Hansbrough idea was not
generally agreed to but enough was said
concerning the individuality Of leaving
the issue practically in the hands of one
man to make 1t apparent to some of the
members that the committee will desire
some different system than the one pro-
posed in the bill. The first section Of the
bill was read and discussed but TO def
mite amendments were offered. The conf
mittee will meet again tomorrow.

STANFORD LOST
BY A FEW POINTS
Intercollegiate Contest in Cali
fornia Full! of Form
ReverSalS.

Stanford University, California, April
1S.-In a meet full Of form reVersals
and surprises, California won the in
tercOllegiate contest from the Cardinal
athletes this afternoon by score of
&c 2-5 to IS 3-5.
Not until Villas had secured second
place in the broad jump was victory
assured to the representatives of the
state institution. The prospects of
Stanford victory were blighted early in
the meet. when Reed, who was counted
on as a winner in both sprints, injured
the leg which has been bothering him
OF late, and was forced out of the race,
giving first in the 100-yard to Stanton,
the California captain. The quarter
mile proved to be all that was expect
ed, Stanford winning in 500, break
ing the intercollegiate record by 3-5 of
a second, after heart-breaking strug-
gle with Brown. StanfOrd's phenom
email freshman runner. Brown retrieved
himself in the half by winning from
Dowd in 1892, lowering the former
record by 3-5 of a second. Bradford
of Stanford broke the previous
record of 4:33.3 in the mile. covering
the distance in the remarkably fast
time of 4:32.3.
In this race De Mammiel of CalifOr-
MIA barely nOsed out MacGregOr for
second place.
The relay race was one of the most
exciting events of the day, and result
ed in the smashing of the former rec
ord by the Stanford team composed of
Morris, COonan. Brown and Wyman,
the time being 3:27.1.
A new record of 25.9 was established
in the 220-yard hurdles, when Horton
and Johns tied for first The biggest
surprise of the day came in the two
mile run, in which Stanford had three
entries with records of 1912 or better,
while the California two-milers had
never done better than 1920. In spite
of this, Gaines of California won the
event in 1923, Adams taking second.
and being the only one of the Stanford
men to gain place. Nash, the record
holder, suddenly became sick while
running and was unable TO finish.
