Senator Wilson of Union called attention to the loose manner In which the Gates bill was drawn. saying that under it the honorary board could employ an unlimited num- Der ot relatives. Another speaker discovered that the Gates bill would do away with the services of the chaplain, and that was largely dwelt upon in the speeches that followed

 Senator Caldwell of Jefferson crowded the galleries when it became known he was speaking, for Senator Caldwell is a power on the floor. He consumed an hour condemning the looseness with which the Gates bill was drawn, declaring that it could not have been drawn in the interest of economy, for it was not safeguard ed m any way. Senator Caldwell was interrupted by Senator Stewart to explain that the bill would place busi- ness men at the head of penitentiary affairs of the state, instead of poli- ticians. Senator Caldwell retaliated that the good farm managers were all taken for 1921 now, and the only thing possible to get wolud be a politician for they are the only ones without jobs. Senator Caldwell de- clared that if the honorary commits sion was the right thing, it ought to be extended to the state departments, and let the governor, attorney gen eral and others serve without pay. He said it would be possible to get men who would gladly do it for noth- ing. Senator Caldwell prophesied he would live to see the state govern ment admit the repeal of the com mission was an error.
 Senators Johnson and Carroll spoke against the bill, and Senator Jackson for it, after which Senator Collins made brief speech to call that Senator Robinson had run for governor upon a platform of abolish ing honorary commissions, and been elected.

TAX ON
 GERMAN EXPORT
Allies, Again Friendly, May Adopt Plan Today-2,OOO,- 100000 Marks Yearly Over 42 Years.

PaflS, Jan. 29.-The session of the committee of experts of the allied supreme council ended at 12:30 o'clock this morning, after having reached a complete agreement on the system of annual payments of separations by Germany and annuities on Germany's foreign trade.
 Paris, Jan. 28.-T solution of the problem of German reparations was tentatively reached late tonight by the committee of experts appointed yesterday by the allied supreme council. Confidence was expressed that the council would approve the committees plan tomorrow.
 The proposed scheme provides for the payment of annuities on a slid ing scale of from 2,000,000,000 to 3,000,000,000 gold marks over a period of probably AZ years and also a one and one half per cent al valorem tax on German exports so that her creditors would be paid according to Germany's prosperity.
 The sudden ironing out of differ ences came after two days of con- tinually widening breach that threat ened to break up the conference, it being virtually suspended except for private conferences. Official French circles give the Belgian delegation credit for the success in reconciling the British and French viewpoints.

Very well. The Harvard men came
out for her game with the peppy little
college at Danville, Ky. They believe
that the Centre team is composed of
good boys. All right youngsters but
they can't play any extraordinary
brand of football. There's Bo Nc
Millin tho-he's a good man.
When the game was over, the score
was, Centre, 6; Harvard, 0.
Then the great question came up
''How was it done2"
What did Charley Moran, Centre
coach and former National league UNI
pire have, that he could turn out a
team and beat the greatest of its day,
for the first time since 1915?
Can it be that Charley Moran knew
more football than any and all of the
| coaches in Harvard? 1t doesn't seem
| possible-but miracles do happen.
Anyway, Centre won the game. That
famous, history making run of thirty
five yards by Bo McMillin did the
trick.
Many reasons have been advanced
by the various writer's and coaches for
the unexpected win.
The soundest of these theories is
that the Harvard men were overcon-
! fident, that Centre was better than
she was rated, and that. maybe, the
Harvard material wasn't up to the
Crimson standard.

the inner dome and rOtUnda; the room for
the library on the second floor; all the

reason to believe that the work on the state

two years.

another concerning the defeat of Har-
Y-rd by Centre.
, why, oh. why" asks one scribe.
How, oh, how" walls another.
1t is a hard question-no one really
knows. 1t would seem to center
around the coaching of the two teams.
There is Harvard. Her coaching
system is known from New York to
San Francisco. It has been said, and
believed, that Harvard has the only
complete coaching system in the world.
Every man on the Varsity has an ex-
pert coach. One coach, just assigned
to watch every move of one man and
tell him where he is wrong, and make
him right.
And these coaches are no slouches.
There is a youngN army of them. A
good number of the coaches are for
