the great exhibition put up by the
diminutive Spears, who played a
whole game for the FIRST time this
season. Evidently Morse has not
had much to choose between these
two tossers, as one accounts for as
many baskets and plays the game
as well as the other. Spears even
attempted to step in the way Of the
six-foot three-inch center OF the
Virginians while that player was
swiftly dribbling down the floor,
with the result that there was a
crash, thump and a yell. Spears
lay on the floor and the center, Kin
sey, stood wobbling aboue him Both
had their heads cut above the eye.
But before and after this Spears
shot three baskets and put in ten
free tosses. His passing is not
quite as good as Springston's, but
his shooting is o. K.
George Washington drew first
blood when Eskew busted through
a ring of players juggling the ball
and knocked il in the basket, in the
first minute OF play. From then until

locals were having a comparatively

great work at the fifteen-foot line,

TAMMANY TIGER
CHANGES HABITS
Cultivates Thirst for Soda Now That
-. John Barleye0m Is Laid at
Rest

NEW YORK, March 16.-Since John
Barleycorn was technically laid to rest
and women began to vote, the Tammauy
Hall tiger-that picturesque animal pro-
verbal in New York politics for more
than a century-is cultivating a thirst
for soda water and tea. studying books
of etiquette and venturing out to thes
dansants and card parties.
Whether he will take naturally To
these changed conditions or not only
time will tell. His sponsors today adj
nit he is still awkward with the tea
cup and that unconsciously he sometimes
reminiscently blows the foam from ice
cream Sodas, but they bank on the myth
zeal feline's reputation at adaptabilitv.
In the olden days. of course. the tigers
element was the saloon. Here he met
his companions in free and easy man.
ner entered into their eonviviaIity-and
managed to scatter political seeds on
fallow ground. He knew them as Joe
or Tim or other appellatiOnS of init
macy. If one of the number needed 4
job, the tiger or his emissaries found him
one. If his wife died flowers were sent.
If anyone was in distress of whatever
nature, relief was always Forthcoming.
For many years Tammany claimed the
reputation of being the greatest chart
table institution in the world.
But now things have changed. The
tigers friends find no interest in the old
iiduAiISs 4to" IIlstL Only NotSttdN y pre-
seriptions are served. Bereft of his vote
getting elixir, and mindful that the cleo
torate contains an element that requires
more delicate courtship, the tiger must
become companionable as well as gen.
erous.
For the past few months, Charles F.
Murphy, the tigers chief trainer in the
new ways of political organization. has
equipped his charge with all the social
accoutrements, including equipment for
athletic clubs. refreshments for after
noon teas and other necessary parapher-
MALTA designed to keep the old organiza-
ton in functioning order.
The bulletin boards in the main head
quarters in Fourteenth street are gen.
| orally covered with placards announcing
amateur athletic events, dances and
other functions. Club rooms are being
fitted up in the hope of attracting wom-
ems organizations to hold sessions there
Believers in the tigers versatility are
confident that he may vet become an at
tractiye Beau Brummel, and that the
Tammany organization viii continue to
be force in things political.

Germans who already are seeking closer
cooperation with America as a means
of weakening the moral force of the allies
In a nutshell, NJ. Niviani win point
out the disadvantages to America of de-
sorting the allies and making a separate
peace with Germany and will ask that
the United States indicate the character
of reservations wanted in the peace
treaty. With few changes. il is known
for instance that Europe would accept
the Lodge reservations. but any plan that
means the dropping of a treaty which
took so many months to prepare and which
the Germans and allies have all signed
will prove unacceptable to the French
To reopen the treaty means renewed con-
troversicS and the allies are having
trouble enough enforcing the Versailles
treaty. They do not want another pro-
longed negotiation with Germany or more
occasions for friction among themselves.
While in Washington, NJ. Niviani will
have an opportunity to confer with Sir
Auckland Geddes. the British ambassa-
dor, who has Just returned from n confer
ence with Prime Minister Lloyd George
and who knows exactly how far the Brit
lsh government is willing to go toward
modifying the present league of nations
In truth, Europe is coming to America
to parley. believing that the present
league and treaty is a good basis for in
,ternaticnal understanding, but not neccs-
Sarily perfect instrument Europe is
willing To make certain changes. If
America wishes to scrap the whole thing
and start afresh. Europe will decline to
go any further and America win be com
PEELED to adopt policy of isolation The
prediction is freely made that a middle
ground will be found, namely. the modi-
iication of the present league of nations
but the preservation of the treaty and

| Tax Revision or Tariff to Receive NeXi
Consideration at Special Session IL
BE Called April 1l-FOrdney TO Have
Charge of Program.
WASHINGTON, March 1G.-ApTroval
was given by President Harding last
night to the proposal to make anti-dump-
ing and American valuation of imports
measures the first fiscal legislation TO be
enacted at the special session Of congress,
called to meet April II.
The President meeting with Chairmen
Penr0se and Fordney of the senate
finance and the house ways and means
committee, respectively, agreed to the de-
csons reached at yesterdays confer
ences of Republican members of the two
committees and Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon. and it was indicated he prom
ised to throw his influence behind the two
measures definitely decided on.
The question of whether priority should
be given tariff revision legislation or in
ternal tax revision measures was still
undecided senator penroSe and Repre-
sentative Fordney said after their call on
the President. Mr.. Harding discussed
the matter with them. they said. and in
view of inability of Republican members
Of the two committees to reach a unani-
nous agreement on the question, Indicated
that he desired TO consider the matter
further before arriving at Il recommended
ton.
The President seemed to be in complete
accord with the agreement reached at
yesterdays conference that the anti
dumping and the American valuation of
imports legislation be rushed through as
soon a. possible after congress convenes.
the two chairmen said. Chairman Ford
ney, whose committee viii have charge of
the drafting and reporting of the legisla-
ture. said the two measures probably
would be combined in one bill. which, he
said would be ready for consideration by
the house as soon as If conyenes.
Anti-dumping legislation as proposed
at yesterdays conference, would be de-
signed through special tax to relieve
American manufacturers from competing
with imports selling below the cost of
American production. The other pro-
posed legislation would provide that adj
valorem duties on imports shall be levied
on the basis of the American dollar in
stead of ON the valuation at the point
of origin. This, sponsors of the legislation
declare, would eliminate the advantage
now held by foreign manufacturers
through the difference in exchange
The committee chairmen in discussing
priority of tax or tariff revision were
understood to have laid before the Presi-
dent the view of the majority of the two
committees that tariff legislation should
have precedence. with tax revision closely
following. The views of those who be-
Ieye that tax revision should precede any
changes in the tariff also were understood
to have been presented

DIAMOND MINE
IN ARKANSAS

Extinct Crater.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Ark, March

which this hamlet is situated The
mine is two and half miles south of

The diamonds are found in pipe

Of an inland sea. and left bits of carbon
scattered throughout the peridatite
which now fills the crater to be pressed
into diamonds By the contraction of the
rock. The peridotite forms the original
matrix of the diamond. and thus far the
only diamonds found in the Western
Hemisphere in their matrices are those
of Pike county. Diamonds have been
found in some p states. in Canada and
where, biologists Surmise they have been
washed by the waters, or in places where
it is presumed they have been deposited
by glacial action.
The first Arkansas diamond was found
in 1906 by John Huddleston, then owner
of the farm on which the 60-acre pipe"
is located. by accident. luddleSton OBJ

The mining operations in Arkansas

different from those of the South Afri-
can fields, although the formations are
the same In Africa deep shafts are

surface and spread on drying floors for
periods ranging from six to Is months.
