New York, December 2S-Announcement from Washington that Chairman Payne of the United States shipping board had decreed that government owned passenger ships in the South American service shoui1 be dry. created considerable surprise in shipping circles here. Baseo on previous information that the anpli- cation of the wartime and constitutional prohibition laws would not apply beyond the three-mile limit we'll stocked bar has been established on the Moccasfn. due to said next Saturday.
 Several steamship men said that the ruling, if enforced, would be a serious handicap for American ships in competi- tion with British passeger liners in the same service
 Only one passenger ship of the govern ment-owned lleec is ready for operation thus far Six other ships are being made ready for the Mrnson line South Ameri- can service, and the big Leviathan is be- ing reconditionad to enter the trans Atlantic trade
 On al; of the privately owned American passenger liners engaged in foreign trade bars have been installed.

GET TOGETHER. FOR
 ILLINOIS ALUMNI
University of Illinois Students and
 Alumni to Meet Saturday

All graduates. former students and present. students of Illinois university now in Birmingham are invited to a get together Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of Mir and Mrs. W. H. stockham, 1921 Thirfy-second street.
 Illinois university has just won the football championship of the "big ten middle western universities, and this op- portunity is taken by all loyal alumni of, Birmingham to celebrate.
 The very rapid growth of the Univer- sity of Illinois at Urbana has been even more phenomenal since the close of the war. This year the university has 43 per cent more students than any previous year. One reason. perhaps, for this big jump is the fact that the fstate legisla- ture has given free scholarships to all Illinois veterans of the world war. The total enrolment is s1000 students, which places Illinois numerically superior to many famous western universities Of these Sl00 students 5iO0 are men and 1900 are women studying for bachelor de- grees. In addition there are 14O0 stu dents in the graduate schools.
 All Illinois alumni are expected to be present at the home of MT. and Mrs. Stockham.

By AssocIat.a Prs.

New York, December 2S.-Testimony supporting the allegation that Capt, Karl W. Detzer. on trial on charges of brutality to A. E. F. prisoners at Le- Mans, was framed" by men whose en- mity he had incurred in France was given late today by Fred Marlow, for mer lieutenant in the department of criminal investigation and Detzer's s chief aide in his overseas police work.
 Marlow testified that Sergt. Frank Hoyt, now said to be deserter in France, threatened to get Captain Detzer unless he tried to obtain his release from prison. When informed by Marlow that 1t was Detzer who had put him under arrest and he was do- ing nothing to help him. Hoyt replied, according to Marlow:
 eff Detzer doesn't get me out of here, am going to get him. Yates, Lacey and these other men here, prisoners with me. will all go together and get him. Tell Captain Detzer so."
 Marlow also testified that sergt. U. s. Madden, accused by A. Murray Phil- lips, a crippled soldier, of having robbed him of 5000 francs in the Le- Mans police office.

HOT SCRAP IN VIEW
 AT FOOTBALL MEET
Question of Forward Pass to Be Main Theme of
 Discussion

Chicago December 23-(Specal) )~ There's going to be a merry old scrap on when the football rules committee convenes 10 make it's annual pilgrimage through the rule book with a fiue-tooth comb. The coaches and gridiron author ities are getting ready for the big ses- sion and although nothing much has been announced, it is understood some of the customers are going to make try at reducing the possibilities or the forward pass.
 What action will be taken toward linn ting the pass cannot even be guessed at. since 1t is impossible to tell exactly which faction is lined up for limitation. It is known that Parse Davis, former Princeton athlete and now recognized as the leading football .statistician, has collected reams of data on the pass and win fairly swamp the committee with information when they call for it. " has refused to state whether or not Se favors the pass as it is today.
 Chief argument against the pass is that it enables scrub teams to defeat we'll trained machines through the me- dium ot one well-timed pass. This is ad- mitted, but against this argument is the public's approval of the open game, and the fact that during the past season football drew larger crowds than ever before in a single season. It might sure ly be said tae public is for the open game.

 RECESS EXPECTED
By Associated Press


 Washington, December 23 23-Although re- publican and democratic senators con tinued their conferences today on peace treaty reservations, there were no con crete results and the leaders said they expected none for some days There was a general feeling of confidence, however. that By the time the holiday recess ends on January the basis for an agreement will have preached.
 Drafts of proposed changes in the res- ervations framed by the Senate majority at the last session were talked over by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the re- publican leader, and Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, a leader of the mild reserva- tion group of republicans : They said the conference was of a gen eral nature and that no final agreement on phraseology was reached
 It was emphasized in all quarters that the negotiations still were in a nebulous state and that many suggestions from many sources would be considered before, there was any attempt to make a bindhg agreement
