Hermann Testifies
Before Grand Jury
Many Surprises During Day in Investi-

Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI. Feb. 2s-surprises we're
many today in the Investigation Of public
affairs in Cincinnati. being conducted by
the grand jury OF Hamilton county. No
indictments were returned but the promi-
hence OF the men summoned as witnesses
started surmises which indicated that the
inquiry ID to become more far-reaching
than the indictments Of George y. Cox
would show.
Chief among those before the body were
August HERMANN, chairman OF the Ma
tional Base Ban commission and grand eK-
aited ruler of the Elks, and Randolph II.
Hynicka, a former county treasurer. Both
have been associated politically with Cox,
but no intimation Of the nature OF their
testimony is forthcoming.
Hermann was before the jury twice, the
first time immediately following Hynlcka.
who, after testifying for half an hour, de-
parted for New York Then came a respite
Of nearly an hour, during which Bayard
Kilgour vice president Of the Bell Tele-
phone company mere, was quizzed. Then
Hermann was recalled and kept in the
grand jury room Tor another hour.
II is not thought that Kilgour's testl-
mony related to any OF the subjects upon
which Hermann and Hynlcka were oues-

LINCOLN. March i-(Special telegram
Missouri came back" in basket ball to-
night The Tigers won the second game OF
the Nebraska series by a brilliant exhibit
ton on the State university armory floor
getting the big end OF a 20 to 20 score.
Careful guarding OF Nebraska payers and
accurate basket shooting we're the principal
factors in the Missourans success
The game was closely contested from the
start Missouri made six points on goal
by Edwards and two free throws and a
field goal by Parker before Nebraska began
to score Then Gibson got a basket, and
a moment later Carrier slipped the ball
to Gibson for a second. Several trials for
baskets on long throws resulted in a pretty
drop by Hutchinson. VIII rought Ne
braska's total up to six %. Is for the half
Meanwhile. however p, rker made another
field goal, and scored an additional point
on a foul The score at the end Of the
first half was to 6 in Missours favor.
In the second half Hutchinson led the
scoring for Nebraska with a backward try
for field goal. which netted two points.
Both teams scored evenly until few min
utes later, when Gibson tied the record at
- to 49, foul on a spectator, who tossed
the ball back to Carrier gave missouri a
free throw, which gave the Tigers the lead.
From that time the Missourians led the
way, although Gibson came near ueing the
score when he slapped the ball into the
basket from jump at the net. Missouris
play showed marked improvement over
Mondays game.
The visitors guarded the Cornhuskers well
and prevented TO a considerable extent the
team plays which were successful in the
earlier game. Parker and Cohen were the
star men for Missouri Cohen fighting hard
all the time. Purkhelser played Hiltner a
hard game at center.
The Cornhuskers generally had trouble
in hitting the basket. Their guarding was
fully as good as the Tigers and the game
was a constant series OF changes in pos
session Of the ball
Frank played hard game at guard, al
though his score is a series of zeros.
In free throws Hutchinson made six out
Of a possible ten for Nebraska. Parker
of Missouri scored seven times on nine
tries. The scores;
