Protection of Naval Stores h.
 duStry Is Advocated
A PLEA FOR INSPECTION
Bill Is Now Before Both Houses and Senate Committees for Federal Inspection of Naval Stores.
 Discussion Is Warm.

Washington, January 31.-With deter imitation to win manifested by both advo- cates and opponents, the proposal for a federal inspection of naval stores, de- signed to enter into interstate commerce, is proving to be a very perplexing prob lem for Congress. The measure affects turpentine and rosn especially.
 While the advocates are fighting to have the Taliaferro- -Sparkman bill enacted into law at this session, the opponents are not only attempting to defeat such action by this congress, but to kill the entire prop ostion for all time.
 In the arguments that have been pre- scented to the respective committees of the Senate and House, it has been said that the federal inspection of turpentine and rosin is required to save the industry and to protect the consumer from frauds that cannot be, or are not, prevented by such state inspections as exist.
 Both bills were introduced by Florida men and the arguments for the bill have been presented largely by persons living in Florida. It Is therefore charged by the opposition that the fight is largely one between the states of Florida and Georgia.
 Probably the most effective argument so ia: advanced by the advocates of the bill is that federal inspection alone can save the industry. The state inspection in Florida and Georgia, the only two states that have authorized inspection, is de- Eounced as ineffective.
 It is argued that even if a state law was effective preventing adulteration of tur- pentine and the grading up of rosin while within the state, the possibilities of fraud Lille the products are in interstate trans rortation, due to the fact that 95 per Ger is consumed beyond the south, are such that relief must be sought.
 Besides the frauds said to be practiced. 1t is urged that under existing conditions the American Naval Stores company, with headquarters at Savannah, controls the market, and therefore that independent producers are being driven out of the field.
 The charge is made also that the bill is designed to strengthen the republican party in the south by the creation of an army of federal inspectors.
 With various charges and counter charges, the situation Is becoming more and more complicated and it is doubtful if any action will be taken by Congress at this session.

The Athletic club Is rolling it over so many cracked-up star basketball aggre- gations that 1t will never do to boost a visiting team into having a chance to win, but the Vanderbilt squad, which comes Friday night, is at least one of the best in the south
 They defeated Atlanta on Atanta's own floor, so they will not be such easy snaps as were the opponents in Saturday nights game. In McGhee, the center, football star, Vanderbilt has one of the fastest centers in the south, while the two guards, Patterson and Martin, big strap ping football giants, have the reputa- ton of being "cats."
 Atlanta declares that they are the fast est guards she has met this year on her own floor. Nicely, captain and forward, throws the goals for them, and will try to

foot again. The Atlanta spirit is all right, but your team is bad.
 It is interesting, nevertheless. that no basketball team of the south has played we'll off It's own court Columbus came to Birmingham and was beaten 50 to 15. Birmingham went to Colum. bus and Columbus won. Montgomery played the local Y. M. c. A. and lost. yet when the local Y. M. C. A. went to Montgomery, Montgomery won. Bir- mingham went to Atlanta and lost. yet when Atlanta came to Birmingham, Birmingham fairly crushed the visitors.
 The reason, in part no doubt is found in the fact that while there Is a standard basketball field that stan dard Is not adhered to. For instance. the Columbus, Ga, court is about half the size of the local ground. and the Atlanta floor is trihe larger than the local.
 But still this cannot fully explain why Atlanta. was able to defeat Bir- mingham when the difference between their ability is so great.
 With Stone of Vanderbilt referee. we repeat, Atlanta cannot approach a victory over Birmingham even on It's own court

Foxy Mique Finn has scored again, this time to the disadvantage of Jack sonville, Fla.
 In drafting Dominick Mulianey and turning him back again. the smooth Little Rock manager got off a good one.
 Towards the close of last season, as is remembered Mique Finn obtained the release of Pitcher Robert Helm. Then there followed a difference of opinion as to the amount that Finn was due Jacksonville. At any rate, Mullaney Jacksonvilles manager. got busy with the national commission, and as re- suit Finn was compelled to put out considerable pile of money.
 Then the drafting season rolled along and Finn drafted Mullaney, not that Finn needed Mullaney-for Finn gen orally has enough trouble during a sea- son, as 1t is-but because Finn saw an opportunity whereby he could recover the amount lost in the Helm deal.
 When Finn was obdurate under the wave of supplication that the Jack sonville fans put forth, the directors of ludl CluD began to lllHA NOhS0ihih5 money. Finn smiled broadly and soon the directors had cinched Dominick for another season.
 But in the meantime Finn has re- covered it Is safe to state the sum that Mulaney forced him to pay for Pitcher Helm.
 Then comes Walter Taylor with rare bit of humor. In the Atlanta Jour nal of yesterday Taylor makes the suggestion that the Atlanta Athletic club be with justice awarded the south ern basketball championship. At the time he was writing that ar ticle the Birmingham Athletic club was converting the visitors to the belief that ey were not deuce high.
 There is not bask etball team hold Ing membership in the Souther Bas- ketball league which could not tie it's hands behind it's back and wallop the waddng out of that Atlanta bunch As far as the teams of the Birmingham Athletic club and the Atlanta Athletic club are concerned, there Is absolutely no ground or reason for compa rison.

Manager Molesworth did not put in an appearance last week. although local fans expected him.
 He has received his ticket, and will arrive one day this week. 1t is prac- tically certain. But there is no need of his immediate arrival, and it is prob able that Molesworth has attended to some important business since he re- ceiyed his transportation to Birming- ham,
 As a matter of fact. it is very prob able that he has been to Phillipsburg, N. J., where Tommy Raub resides. It is known that Molesworth desired to talk to the catcher in person. Raub, IS is known, does not desire to play in the south because of the fact that playing here separates him so far from his family, to which, incidentally, he Is devoted. Of course Birmingham could force him to return, but Molesworth considered it wiser to endeavor to per suade him to come of his own volition.
 The arrival of Molesworth is awaited with interest. for it Is felt certain that he will have some good news to re- late.

MILLIONAIRE HEAD OF
 HARVARD UNIVERSITY
By JOHN H. cAReERRY.

Harvard University in May will have millionaire president, at a salary of Ss000 a year. Abbott Lawrence Lowell, who has been elected by the corporation to succeed President Charles W. Eliot upon his retirement in May, is estimated to be worth $2,OOO,0OO. Part of this substantial fortune, which is large estate for scholar, was inherited, but the president elect of Harvard has had sufficient busi- ness acumen to more than double his patrimony, despite the fact that he has given most of his maturer years to edu- cation.
 He inherited about $SOOOOO from his fathers estate and also some property from his mother The accretion of his wealth to it's present proportions is due to his shrewd judgment and knowledge of the values of investment securities, and he has become rich-for a Boston scholar-practically within the past ten years.
 There are possibilities of benefac- tions to Harvard University at the hands of it's new president for he has no chil- dren, and his brother, Prof. Percival Low  ell, and his three sisters are as wealthy as is the president-elect Prof. Lowell several years ago gave Harvard a lecture hall, which cost rising sl00.000. When the money for the building was presented, the donor insisted upon concealing his identi- ty, and the structure Was known as the
 new lecture hall'' until the giver was forced to acknowledge his contribution
 President-elect Lowell will appeal to alumni and undergraduates as well be- cause of these additional qualifications: He is Harvard man, graduate of the college and the law school. His grand father was a member of that exclusive and elf-perpetuating corporation known as the President and Fellows of Harvard College" In his day he was champion athlete. He never lost running event in which he was an entrant. For twelve years he has intimately associated with the academic department, as lecturer and professor He believes in scholarship as the sure criterion of success in busi- ness life. But he also has a deep interest in athletics, and on every occasion advises students to participate in college sports. That is a part of college life and to his mind as important in it's way as is att tendance at lectures.
