SENIORS BEAT SOPHS
Inter-Class Basket Ball Wednesday
Won by Seniors in Close
-, Game

The Academy inter-class basketball
still continues to put on hair-raising
contests as those of yesterday after
noon show. The seniors beat the
sophomores by the narrow margin of
one basket and if the game had gone
the regulation time, five minutes long
er, very likely the sophs would have
won. The seniors will have to travel
some to beat the freshies next week
as that outfit smothered the fast jul
niors who came within a point of
beating the seniors last week. All
the dope points to a tie between the
seniors and freshmen after the game
next week.
The first period Of the senior game
was a walk-a-way for the upper class
men with Cutting as high scorer. In
the second frame the sophs speeded
up to within 6 points and at the end
the score was IA to II in the seniors
favor. Smith played his usual slash
ing game at center and Marshall and
Faye contributed some classy fool
work for the sophs. The sophs have
still the habit Of good passing anc
poor shooting that has lost most Of
their games for them.
| In the freshman game Foye ane
Darling played a good floor game
but the Juniors were so slow there
wasn't much comparison. Captain
Warden has been sick and this ma,
account for the slump of his teams.

REPORTS INDICATE

ARE VIRTUALLY IDLE

order Rerorted Anywhere
Coal Supply Would
Last Three Months

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov q
The following approximate fig
ures on the present supply of coal
were furnished by one of the lead
ing statisticians on coal in the
country:
Normal number of tons mined
and consumed daily, 1,750,000.
Number of tons above ground,
100000.
With the number of miners re-
duced by half, it can be assumed,
he said, that the production will
be cut in half, thus making it
necessary to draw about 100000
tons of coal daily from the re-
serve supply to meet the nations
demands. If this condition con-
tinues for more than three
months, the supply of coal will be
exhausted, according to these es-
Inmates.

Officer and Others
Held for Death of
Automobile Drivers

Ell PASO, Texas, Nov. 3.-Of-
ficials at Las Cruces, N. NJ, were
investigating today the fatal shoot
ing of John T. Hutchings, automo-
bile race driver, near Lanark, N. NJ,
sixteen miles west of here, yester-
day by party of four men and four
women, one of them a major in the
United States army. The eight are
being held at Las Cruces, on charges
of murder. Major F. M. Scanland,
one of the eight, declared the shoot
ing was accidental. He said they
were shooting at a target when
Hutchings passed in his car in the
Ell Paso-PhoeniX road race.
After Hutchings was shot, Oliver
Lee, his mechanician, drove the car
with the wounded driver into Las
Cruces and returned to the scene of
the shooting with county officers who
made the arrests. Hutchings was
driver for General Pershing during
the American punitive expedition into
Mexico and had been contestant in
most of the automobile races of the
southwest. His home was in Alamo
gordo n. NJ.
Those under arrest are Major
Scanland, Harry c. Overstreet and
Chalk" Altman, of Ell Paso, and
Fred Jackson, of Alpine, Texas. The
women are Billie Bennett, Mrs. Over
street, Mrs. P. L. Holbrook and Mrs.
E. NJ. Mcpherson, of Ell Paso.
Hutchings was shot through the
spine and died after being brought
to an FL PaSo hospital.

BEATS GASOLINE AT
IS CENTS A GALLON


"a Miles on Gallon of Gasoline
and Start Easy in Coolest
Weather-Other Cars Show
Proportionate Savings.
A new carburetor which cuts down
gasoline consumption of any motor
including the Ford, and reduces gas
oline bills from one-third to one-half
is the proud achievement of the Air
Friction Carburetor Co., 213 Madi-
son ST., Dayton, Ohio. This remark
able invention not only increases the
power of all motors from 80 to so
20 cent but enables every one to
run slow on high gear. 1t also makes
it easy to start a Ford or any other
car in the coolest weather without
previously warming the motor. With
it you can use the very cheapest
grade of gasoline or half gasoline
and half kerosene and still get more
power and more mileage than you
now get from the highest test gaso-
line. Many Ford owners say they
now get as high as IS to so miles
to gallon of gasoline. So sure are
the manufacturers of the immense
saving their new carburetor will
make that they offer to send it on
80 days trial to every car owner. AS
it can be put on or taken off in
few minutes by anyone, all readers
who want to try it should send their
name, address and make of car to
the manufacturers at once. They
also want local agents to whom they
offer exceptionally large profits.

TUESDAY
TO DECIDE ISSUES
IN FOUR STATES
Labor Prohibition and Oth-
er Questions Before Vot-
Massachusetts, New
Jersey Races Interesting

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The stage
is set today in four states and nu-
merous municipalities and judicial
lists for elections tomorrow that will
provide rehearsals for next years
presidential, senatorial, congression-
al and state contests.
The part labor and socialists, as
well as the new vote''-that Of
women and first voting males-wlll
play in the trend of political thought
will be watched with interest.
Chief among the political issues to
be settled at the polls win be the
Massachusetts gubernatorial con-
test. In that state Governor Calvin
Collidge, Republican, is running for
reelection against Richard Fl. Long,
Democrat. a shoe manufacturer, who
was also Governor Coolidge's oppo-
nent at the last election. Governor
Coolidge is making the race as a
law and order" candidate, his sup
porters using his record in fighting
argument for his election. He is
DGlUS lOuShL ny LILO SOliLi GA eASbSt
union of Boston.
Next in importance to the Massa-
chusetts election is that in New Jer-
sey, where Edward 1. Edwards, dem
ocratic candidate, is running against
Newton A. K. Bugbee, Republican,
for the governorship. The issue In
the Jersey contest is a wet" and
dry" one, Edwards being il favor
of a liberal wet" program, while
Bugbee has been forced to assume
the dry end OF the argument. Elk
ceeding unpopularity of the Public
Service corporation, the principal
traction company in the state, and
Bugbee's alleged sympathy with the
corporation, will cause his defeat. his
opponents declare.
In Kentucky Governor James D.
Black, Democrat, is engaged in a
hot contest against Edwin P. Nor
row, Republican. Although the state
is normally Democratic to a decided
degree, Morrow lost the election four
years ago to A. o. Stanley, now SEN
ator, by only All votes.
Harry Nice, Republican, is running
against Albert c.. Richie, Democrat,
lOI the SONSl IIOl snip III N1ol 1cIllO'
Confidence in Republican victory is
based on a swing il the Baltimore
elections last May when the city,
normally Democratic by 10000, went
Republican by 10000.
The prohibition question will have
an added interest by the balloting in
Ohio on a proposition, of a referen-
dunn on the federal amendment. A
provision in the Ohio constitution
provides for a vote on the prohibit
ton amendment, the fact that the
law is now fundamentally in effect
apparently not affecting the interest
Ohio voters are taking in the cleo
ton.
In addition, every city in Ohio
elects a municipal ticket tomorrow.
In New York, tomorrows contests
will be mainly judicial. The issue is
being fought between Tammany and
anti-Tammany candidates. The fight
started when Charles T. Murphy,
Tammany leader, refused to sanction
denomination of Supreme Court JUS
tice NeWburger.
Other local contests are those for
president of the board for aldermen,
president of Manhattan borough,
seven supreme court justices and
borough Surrogates.

DEALER IS CHARGED
WITH SELLING SUGAR
At TOO HIGH RATE
Frank Alleged to Have
Charged 81 1-2 Cents,
Bill to Resume u, S, Sugar
Supervision Is Reported

The United States department of
justice Monday morning swore out
a warrant for the arrest of ]. Frank,
a retail grocer of 273 Pulliam street,
on charges preferred by United
States Attorney Hooper Alexander,
accusing Frank of asking and rel
ceiviag excessive prices for a neces-
sity." The specific charge was that
Frank sold sugar at 81 IL cents per
pound.
Frank will be arraigned before
Commissioner Carter some time Mon
day for a preliminary hearing.
He will be tried under what is
known as the federal profiteering
law, which was recently amended
providing a penalty clause for prof
iteers, allowing a maximum of five
years Imprisonment or a $4,000 fine.
Franks Defense
When told that the Fulton county,
fair price committee had fixed eight
cen and one-half cents a pound as
a fair price for grocers to charge
for sugar, Frank said it was his
information that this price applied
only to brown sugar, and that the
committee had never considered
lump sugar prices at all, chasing
that kind of sugar as a luxury.
Frank stated that he was selling
no graduated sugar at all, only the
lump sugar in two-pound boxes for
sixty-five cents a box.
Mr.. Alexander when told that the
grocer claimed TO have paid twenty
eight cents a pound for the sugar,
or fifty-six cents for each two-pound
box. said that an inquiry would be
made into that phase of the case,
and that more than likely other. war
rants would follow.

Pittsburg Leaders Ask for
the Approval of General
WaIkout From Other
Unions in Pennsylvania

PITTSBURG, Nov. 3.-Union lead
ers in Pittsburg, in the interest of
the steel strike, began today to for
mulate plans to help secure from
state unions approval of recommen-
dations passed by the Pennsylvania
State Federation of Labor, which
adjourned it's special convention here
yesterday.
Featuring the recommendations,
adopted in the form of resolutions,
was a call for a statewide strike
of organized labor as a last resort
to secure free speech, free press
and free assemblage."
The state federation may issue
such a CALI according to the resolu-
ton, when in the opinion of the ex-
ecutive council it is deemed neces-
sary "to compel respect for law and
the restoration of liberty as guar
anteed by the constitution of the
United States and of the state of
Pennsylvania"
James H. Maurer, president of the
federation, announced that he ex-
pected no opposition from the inter-
national unions concerning the pro-
posed walkout, but rather their
hearty approval.
Among other resolutions adopted
was, one urging railroad men, miners
and steel workers to combine forces
and refuse to make settlement that
did not include the three unions.
The situation in the Pittsburg dis
trict was reported by both strike
headquarters and by officials of the
steel corporations as being las
usual"
The commissaries maintained for
needy strikers and their families are
expected to increase food distribu-
lions 100 per cent this week. it was
