George Washington's games are to
be played at the Coliseum. Plenty of
seating capacity is available at the
Coliseum, and it is believed that the
new quarters will completely take
care of the crowds sure to attend
some of the games to be played with
other local universities.
Catholic University does not expect
to have much difficulty defeating ST.
Johns, as the Annapolis school has
not been up to it's usual standard this
year in sports. Gallaudet does not
know what kind of a team it will hit
when Lebanon Valley appears at Ken
dali Green.
Georgetown's basketers are sched-
uled to get to work Monday night in
a contest with Bridgewater College.
Georgetown, though, will play it's first
big game next Thursday with Car
negie Tech on the Hilltop.
May Not Play Lacrosse.
University of Maryland probably
will not have a lacrosse team this
year. 1t does not have facilities for
practice and will not until the new
field which it is building is COM
pleted. With the completion of the
new field, which should be by next
fall, there will be plenty of room for
lacrosse, track, freshman and var
sity base ball teams to practice with
out hindering one another.
Third Indoor Meet Possible.
Two sets of indoor games are to be
held in this immediate section this
w iYof hn T1h
meet at the 5th Regiment Armory is
to take place February 26 and Catho-
lie University will hold one either the
week before or the Saturday after
that Another big meet to be held
jointly by two local universities is
possible. Efforts are being made to
get things in shape to stage it.

The Hague shipping rules, providing

the National Association Of Credit Men.
Charles s. Haight, chairman of the bill
Of lading committee of the Inter
national Chamber of Commerce, has
been authorized to express this ap-
proval to the international Conference
of Ship Owners in London on Novem-

The following declaration has been
made by the credit men:
ain presenting this declaration the
committee was actuated by a feeling
that the principle of uniformity is OF
vital Importance, and that The Hague
rules should be approved because they
give effect to that principle. The com
mittee does not consider that in giving
its approval it has finally sanctioned
the division Of the responsibility be-
tween carrier and cargo owner, which
is made in the present rules. The
questions involved in that discussion
can, if necessary, be the subject OF
further negotiations between shiT
owners, shippers, underwriters and
bankers, without sacrificing the prn-

VERSAILLES, Nov. 11.-Conviction of
Henri Lnndru Of the murder Of ten
women and boy, despite the fact that
the state has failed to find trace of
any of this bluebeard's victims, is con-
fdently expected tonight after the
fifth day of his trial. French law per-
mits jury to take cognizance of cir
cumstantial evidence, and the chain
around the prisoner las become so
tight that he has lost his self-assur-
ance, and has again and again refused
to answer questions or make logical
explanations Of the circumstances sur
rounding the disappearance of the VIC
tins.
To-day both the Judge and the prose-
cution fired question after question at
the prisoner that he could not or would
not answer. He was repeatedly cor
nered, and finally, after the prosecution
had repeatedly demanded, "What be-
came of this woman ?"-his fourth vic
time-Landru threw up his hands in
despair.
Questioned About Fiancee
"lt seems to me you want my head,'
he burst out "You can have it. re-
gret do not have two to offer you"
To-day's examination concerned
chiefly the disappearance Of Nine.
Desiree Guillin, fifty years old, for
mer cook, who left about 10000 francs
in cash and some furniture and jewelry
when she vanished. 1t was brought
out that she had become engaged to
Landru, lived with him at his country
villa and disappeared in October, 1915,
as others had done before her Wit
nesses told how Landru had disposed
of her property. In the villa the
woman's wig was found. The authori-
ties charge that Landru lured his vic
tins to his villa, and after killing them
burned their bodies in cook stove.
Landru again to-day denied his guilt
of the crimes with which he is charged.
He explained that he gained possession
of Nine. Guillin's property through q
business deal.

Fast u. S. Steamers Gain
Pacific Mail Contracts
Reduce Time to Orient Two to
Five Days; Railway Officials
Use New Service

Large shipments of mail from the
United States to Far Eastern ports
have been diverted to American ves-
sells as result of the speed records
established by the Silver State and
other Shipping Board steamers operat-
ing out of Seattle. These have brought
the Orient two to five days closer to
this country.
When the Keystone State, sister
ship, of the Silver State, departed re-
Gently under the flag of the Pacific
Steaship Company, she carried 4,500
sacks of first-class mail. While this
was not q record shipment, officials
OF the railway mail service said that
its size was due to the fact that the
government liners on the North Pacific
route had been maintaining faster
schedules than other lines.

Produced Two Letters

VERSAILLES, Nov. II (By The AS
sociated Press ).-"Bluebeard" Landru,
whose beard is, is fact, partly red,
sprang a surprise in court by produc-
ing two letters bearing the alleged sig
nature of Me. Guillin, dated November
and December, 1915, respectively.
The letters were addressed to the
Bank of France, instructing that insti-
tuition to dispose Of her securities de-
posted in the bank by her. The bank,
satisfied that the signatures were
genuine. followed her instructions.
The prosecution to-day called in a
handwriting expert, who swore that the
signatures were forgeries. The jury
was visibly impressed by the fact that
the bank had accepted the signatures
as genuine. Counsel for the defense
spent long time in cross-examining
the handwriting expert.
"Therc is no blood on my hands,"
said Landru. "They, perhaps, are not
absolutely clean, but they never shed
drop of human blood" he said.

Baltimore Employment
Outside of ShipyartIs, Indusir,
Shows Gain

BALTIMORE, Nov. H. Excluding
the loss in shipyard workers in the
last five months, other industries in
the city have gained 1892 employees,
according to n survey just completed
by the Board of Trade. In the survey
about ~ per cent Of the employers
in their respective cnsses were in
cluded, and the same employers were
asked for reports as those used in
surveys made in February and May of
this year.
The shipyards show loss of 7,797
workers since May The loss since
February in all lines,. including ship
yards, was $500, although the ship
yards at that time laid off II, 800 men,
while other classes Of industry have
absorbed practically $500 more per-
sons.
A survey on retail food prices
throughout the country also was made
by the industrial bureau of the 30 rd
of Trade here, with the result that
food prices in Baltimore were found
to be lower than those in fifty-onc
other leading cities, with the single

Philippine Trade Will
Go to American Ships
Pacific Coast Lines Expect
$25O,OOO,OOO Commerce
Will Re Diverted

Application of the coastwise laws
of the United States to the Philippines
and other island possessions and terri
tories early next year will divert ap-
proximately $25o,oOo,Ooo in traffic from
foreign to American vessels, according
to officials of the Admiral Line.
Shortly after the first of the year
ten of the new $8,5O0,00 combination
passenger and freight steamers of the
Shipping Board will be in service be-
tween the Pacific Coast and the Far
East. These will be supplemented by
large fleet of freighters. 1t is ex-
pected that President Harding shortly
will issue proclamation extending
the coastwise laws, following a state
ment from the Shipping Board that
adequate steamship services are avail
able. There is provision in the Jones
act which forbids interference with
inter-island trade routes until Congress
authorizes registry under the United
States flag of vessels owned in the Phil
ppines.
Under present conditions most of the
shipments between the United States
and the Philippines are carried by for
eign vessels. 1t is understood that the
Shipping Board has statistics showing
that during the first half of 1921 goods
valued at $72, ,180,0 900 were shipped to
the islands in foreign vessels, com
pared with $28 900 in American bot
toms. Philippine exports in foreign
ships during the same period aggre-
TO-
American.
1t is estimated that twenty ships,
providing employment for approximate
ly 1000 American seamen, will be re-
quired to replace the service now rem
dered by foreign vessels on the Pacific
