DRY ADMINISTRATION
PREDICTED FOR HARDING
Those Acquainted With Situa-
ton Agree There Will Be No
Tilting of Lid
NV United PreSs)

Fort Pierce, Fla, Feb. 5.-(By
Raymond Clapper)-A dry regime
under the Harding administration
was predicted today by those close
to President-elect Harding. All
agreed that there would be no fitting
of the lid so far as the Volstead act
remains unchanged, and some be-
lieved he might even insist on a more
rigid enforcement of the law than is
prevailing now.
Harding's position, according to his
friends, is that the law must be en-
forced.
Commissioner Kramer, in charge of
prohibition, is expected to resign
shortly after the Harding administra-
ton comes into power. Nothing re-
garding his successor has come from
President-elect Harding and it is like
ly Harding will consult the preference
of the secretary Of the treasury I'M
der whose department the prohibition
enforcement officers work.

WHITE HOUSE FORCE
HOPES TO HOLD JOBS
Messenger, Engine rs and
Clerks in Executive Offices
Feel Secure Of Jobs
(By United Press)

Washington, Feb. 5.-Clerks, mes
sengers and engineers in the execu-
tive offices of the White House feel
secure in their jobs even with the
swift approach of March 4.
Their total is IS, % Of whom are
clerks, nine messengers and four en-
gineers. When George Christian,
President-elect Harding's secretary,
visited the White House in December,
he inspected the offices and great was
the conversational stir upon his depar-
ture.
"He's going to cut down the fcxce
in line with the policy of economy, "
said one.
,"All the Democrats will be fired
sure" volunteered another.
But later the excitement died down
and old timers in the offices pointed
out the fact that few changes in the
personnel are made just because a
new president or new administration
comes in. For instance, when Presi-
dent Wilson first assumed control of
the White House there were only
three changes. Of course new sec
rotary came in and as Taft's stenog-
rapher also left, Charles Sven was
appointed. Warren Johnson, the
third new man, filled a vacancy that
had existed for some time.
It is reported about the offices that
Sven will leave the White House
with Wilson to assist him in his writ
ings. The president has always shown
great favor for Sven and his need for
: a stenographer upon his return to
; civil life, and the proposed writings is
apparent. Other than Secretary Tu-
multy and Sven, none of the en-
ployees have definitely stated their
. post-inauguration plans have to do
with new position.
1t is an interesting fact that two
of the 80 employees are women. With
the full enfranchisement of women it
is possible they will demand fuller
representation in the presidents Of
fees. Miss Maude Rogers and Miss
Margaret Riorden are the only clerks
Of their sex officially appointed to the
offices now. If they want more fem
mime company, they haven't yet adj
mitted it.

Referee: Hollands, University Of
High School Girls Win.

The high school girls basketball
team played the Normal school girls
in the second of their three game Sc
ries for the city championship last
night in the opening contest and
defeated the pedagogues by the over
whelming score Of % to 5. The stu
dents whitewashed the teachers in
the first half IL to 0. The game was
exciting despite the one sidedness of
the score and was hard fought all
the way thru.
In the first game between these
two teams two weeks ago the Normal
ties won out to 3 and the complete
reversal Of form on the part Of the
High school quint was surprise
even to its most staunch followers.
To pick any individual star on the
high school quint would be an injus-
tice for the entire team played to-
gether as a unit and it Is plain to
see this was responsible for the high
rcore piled up against the Normal
five.

new YORK PR0P0SES,TA
ON COMMERCIAL SPORTS
By Henry L. Farrell,

Omitted States Staff Correspondent
New York, Feb. 5.-Highly COM
mercialized sports in New York will
be forced to pay handsome toll to-
ward the maintenance of state gov
eminent by the new administration,
according to the belief in political cir
cles here.
Governor Miller has announced the
intention of calling sport writer's of
the state together for conference on
the ACCESSIBILITY of putting all profess
sional sports in the state under one
head and levying a substantial per-
centage of the receipts to help pay
the. expenses Of government.
From other circles it is learned that
while the boxing law will not be fun
damentally changed, amendments will
be adopted to change its governing
body, reduce to commercial feature of
the sport and increase the state taxes
from 5 20 Is per cent.
One Of the assemblymen recently
announced that he would introduce a
bill making five dollars the top price
of a boxing show.
Canon Chase, Brooklyn clergyman,
who led the first against the passage
of the Walker bill at the last session
Of the legislature, also served notice
on the governor that he would renew
his efforts at this session with CAM
paign to repeal the boxing bill and the

many must pay the war indemnity.

IT will advise Germany tO\accept

Germany must respect two condi-

abide by the treaty to bring about the
restoration of neighborliness among
nations. Germany still has too many
armed men and too much war mater

allies have decided that Germany
must comply with the treaty Of Ver-
sailles, especially as regards disarma-
ment."
'sForeign Minister Yon Simons, has
right to present alternate propos-
ais to the reparation Plan but If they
are a mere attempt at evasion the
allies will not tolerate them" he said.
1.-THE burden imposed on Germ

payments for the reparation for the

pension bill written in France. 1t is
not question of imposing economic
slavery upon the German workers but

High School Girls Win Over
Normalites With Score
Very One-sided

Before the largest crowd that ever
witnessed n scholastic game in the
city, Coach Smiths Bemidji High
school basketball quint last night de-
feated Coach Schropp's St. Cloud
Technical High school quint by the
close score Of II to 10. With four
veterans OF last years quint holding
regular positions and the fifth such
a man as Ernst, quarterback OF the
football team, the Schropp lineup
presented heavy and we'll balanced
team. The game was a thriller from
start to finish, which kept the crowd
that packed the arlnory. on edge
from whistle to whistle.
Last nights game started a bit
slow with both teams very cautious
not to give the other an easy oppor-
tunity to slip by for close-in shots.
The first score was counted by Moe
of the Saints on technical foul on
Bemidji. Higbe soon after tied the
score on a personal foul on Siminski.
Moe then Gagged the first field basket
from long range putting his team
two points to the good. The Saints
scored another point on foul maxi
ing the score to l in their favor.
Powell and Stechman soon followed
with a field basket each making the
count to in Bemidjis favor.
From then on the Saints trailed for
the entire game, but SO closely that
the game belonged to neither side
until the final whistle.
Defensive PLAY Good.
The visitors were unable at any
time during the game to break thru
the defense taught his men by Coach
Smith. The same can be said OF
Coach Schropp's team, for practically
all the scoring of both teams were
made from fairly long shots. The de-
fensive playing Of both teams was
superior to the offensive attack.
Weak on Free Throws.
Moe Of the visitors was decidedly
weak on shots from the 15-foot mark.
Out of 18 chances he scored but
times while Higbe Of Bemidji scored
Z out Of ten opportunities.
MANY Rule 1nfractions.
The game was marrcd by numer-
Gus fouls which gave both teams
many opportunities to add to their
totals, most OF the fouls being tech
nicalities. At the end of the first
half Bemidji led by score Of to
