SENATE PASSES
 EMORY AVAIL BILL
Voted Yesterday Afternoon 27 to 7 to Abolish the Corpora tiOn Commission, After Two Days of Debate.
Special to The News.

Little Rock, Feb. 1O.-The Emory Walls bill abolishing the Arkansas Corporation Commission and putting the city utilities back in the hands of the municipal councils and restoring the old Railroad Commission was passed in the Senate yesterday after noon by vote of 27 to '. Thus ended a debate which began Tuesday morning. The opposition crumbled Tuesday and had a roll call been taken then the vote would probably have been close, but seeing that the passage of the bill was inevitable, quit a few senators voted with the majority. The first break came on the roll call when Senator Deisch left the -administrationists and cast his vote for the passage of the bill
 Senator Haley immediately followed and Senator Owens of Pulaski, Sena- tor Wilson of Calhoun and Senator Wilson of Washington, all counted on to oppose the bill, voted with the majority. The only one to stand out to the end was Senators Caldwell, Collins, Johnson, Scott, Stewart, Wood and Cazort The argument was closed for the opposition by Sen ator Caldwell who laid stress upon the vassallating tactics of the Arkan- sas legislature, saying that creating commissions at one session and abol- ishing them at the next would drive capital out of Arkansas He pictured the rapid development of western states which have liberal laws yov- erning corporations. Senator Cald- we'll stated that these have none of the natural resources of Arkansas, and many of them have to irrigate their lands where Arkansas has rain whenever it wants it, yet they have prospered far greater than this state. He also stated that city councils had the right to reduce rates and at the same time increase the expenses of utility operation, which was unfair, especially since members of the coun- cils are property owners and preju- diced against corporations, thereby trying the utility company before prejudiced jury Senator Walls closed for the bill, chasing all the dire pre- dictions of the opposition as mere tcmmyrot. Gle said the corporations would be treated fairly under the bill and that after 1t has passed and be- come a law they would go and pros per as much as ever.

 Mr. Goods plea for government economy was made in presenting the first deficiency bill for the present year carrying total of $203,000, ,000.

This stupendous sum could best be understood, MT. Bynes added, by the fact that in order to meet it the government must levy an average tax of $50 on every man, woman and child in America. In suggesting methods of raising revenue without making the burden on the individual more severe than it has been since the early days of the war, Mr. Good said he doubted if a tariff law could raise more than s4OO,OOOOO0 without disturbing inter- national trade relations.

Special to The News.
 Little Rock, Feb. 10.-The McFarin resolution opposing a constitutional amendment by which counties or parts of counties may form districts for the building of roads and levy a ten mill tax annually on personal and real property within the district was given a back-set in the, Senate Wednesday afternoon. The resolu- tion was discussed at length by Sena- tor McFarin, but when he had con cluded his remarks the evident feel ing for some sort of a constitutional amendment which will grant relief to the supreme court began to assert itself. The resolution was finally sent to the judiciary committee for fur ther consideration. The judiciary committee is composed entirely ot lawyers and being lawyers they na- turallv incline to the amendment benefting the supreme court. An early report, unless it is an unfavor- able one, is not expected from this committee.

Paris, Feb. 9.-Any likelihood of the London conference resulting in an amicable understanding with the Germans, based on their acceptance of allied separations programme, is fast eyaporating. Already in French official circles there is talk of turning the meeting scheduled to begin on Feb. 28 into a discussion of the best means of applying the penalties which the supreme council has re- solved to inAict upon Germany in the event of her nonacceptance of the Paris terms.
 Premier Lloyd Georges speech has somewhat heartened those Frenchmen who feared a compromise with the Berlin government.
 At the ministry of foreign affairs 1t is stated that Germanys obvious efforts to postpone a final settlement of the separations problem is doubt less inspired by the hope that the proposition to the allies will find a favorable echo in Washington after Harding's inauguration.
 French offcialdom believes that Berlin is in for a severe disappoint- ment in this respect. Whatefer the new administration may be, how ever, the present French government is resolved to insist upon the integral application of the system of payments laid down. Briand is confident that in this stand he has the British cabi- nets whole-hearted support.
 That Germany expects to find some way of barfaining along the lines in dicated by Foreign Minister Simons in the Reichstag is believed here. This the French will under no circum- stances permit. Indeed, among the deputies there is a strong current ot opinion in favor of abandoning the London conference altogether if the faintest possibility that it will be- come another Spa should arise. This doctrine is approved by such import ant papers as the Petit Parisien and the Temps.
 The former intlmates that Ger many's air of defiance may make the presence of her representatives at the council table with the allied statesmen impossible.
 The Temps asks what useful pur- pose can be served by the proposed conference if the Germans come to London with the idea of rejecting the Paris agreement, utilizing against

Just TlUO Home Run,
Records Defy Ruth,
and Here They Are

There are only two home rur
records which still defy Babe Rutl
that for hitting fomers in one
game and the mark for cloutine
four baggers in one inning. Bobby
Lowe of the old Boston Nationals
and Ed Delehanty of the old Phila-
delphia Nationals hold the record
for hitting homers in a game, with
four each.
Lowe got four circuit smashes,
two in one inning, and single off
Chamberlain of the Reds at Bos-
ton on May so. 1894. Hitting
homers in that little bandbox park
was comparatively easy.
Delehanty got four homers and a
single off Adonis Terry in Chicago
on July 13, 1896. De1ehanty was
the old prototype of Ruth. Ruth
has yet to make two home runs in
one inning. But he already holds
records a-plenty, as follows:
l. Fifty-four home runs for a
season.
2. Seven home runs in five sue
cessive games.
3. Three home runs in three sue
cessive times at bat-June Is and H.
4. Greatest number Of home runs
with bases filled in one season.
four, in 1919.
S. Eight games in which he hit
two home rurls-in 1920
E. Greatest number of home runs
hit off any pitcher by one man
10, off Dauss.

Past Sport Year
Is Now History
''Crid'' Men Look Ahead
College Coaches Now in
Summer Schools.

With the college year of l92O-'2l
now athletic history, summer schools
for coaches have been started at :
number of institutions, but in the
great majority of cases the gridiror
coaches have hied themselves te
parts unknown to plan for what
promises to be busy and success
full fall season.
The last year was featured by the
usual number of upsets and stub.
bornly-fought contests. In the mid.
die west Ohio State wen the west
ern conference foot ball champion
ship, only to suffer a hurniliating de-
feat by California in the annual in
tersectional game at Pasadena. The
Buckeyes took the Big Ten title by
llairline finishes, and expect to re-
peat this fall.
Following the gridiron season, the
basket ball tossers got busy, and at
the close of the season a clean-cut
western intercollegiate champion
could not be determined. Purdue,
Wisconsin and Michigan were tied
after all games had been played, but
the year was marked by startling re-
versals of form, especially on the
part of Chicago, which entered the
race with a practically veteran team
which had won the title the year be-
fore, and finished in the ruck.
Illinois Has Great Team.
Illinois, represented by one of the
teams since Harry
Gill has been in .charge of track and
field athletics at Urbana, romped
away with the indoor conference.
The Orange and Blue had strength
in every event.
California Is Track Surprise.
In the east the big upset was Cal
ifornia's victory in the eastern inter-
collegiate track and field games.
Coach Christie took only a small
squad across the country, but his
Bears managed to nose out Harvard
by half point. The victory, COM
bined with the defeat of Ohio in foot
ball by California, and finishing Sec
ond in the eastern regatta in the
eight-oared crew race, made it
great year for the Golden State uni
versity.
There was no recognized foot ball
champion of the east. Penn State,
Princeton and Pittsburgh were gen.
orally looked upon as the strongest
il the section, while Holy Cross and
Penn State had as strong base ball
teams as any in the section.
In the Missouri Valley conference
Oklahoma won the foot ball title
after an interesting season. Ne
braska and Kansas were represented
by strong elevens, as were Missouri
and Kansas Aggies. Like other sec
lions of the country, banner sea-
son is expected in the district in the
.all.
Nebraska won track and field
lonors in the Missouri valley. The
cam was developed by Henry
Schultz, former Michigan foot ball
slayer. Colorado Aggies, who will
,lay Chicago this fall on Stagg field,
ook gridiron honors in the Rocky
conference.

Omaha to Be Represented in State
Amateur Base Ball Association Again

The Bowen Furniture company
represented Omaha III the fight for
the state title and made a clean
sweep of the series, with little op.
position, but from advices received
from a number of cities, Omaha will
have to go some this year. The
Class A city champions of the local
association will play for the state
title, following the local elimination
city series.
The annual meeting and election
of officers of the state association is
scheduled to take part the first Mon
day in August, but on account of the
interest that is already being CEN
tered, the officials may get together
before that time. 1t is expected that
at least a dozen cities will apply for
entry to the state association this
year.
Omaha may make strong bid to
hold the state meeting here.

ming Contest.

Chicago, July 9.-Earl Sheeleys
timely batting and Shovel Hodges
great pitching enabled Chicago to
make it two straight from New
York today, 10 to 9. in one OF the
longest games of the season in the
American league, the game going

The visitors hit Twomblcy and
Weineke opportunely and took a

TO the rescue and held New York
when he took the mound. The To-
Gals played an uphill game and in
the seventh inning got to Mays, fin
ally forcing his retirement in the
ninth inning. Hodge started the
rally which enabled the White Sox
to tie the count in the ninth, and
Shelley delivered the hit which sent
in the tying run. Shelley also sent
in the winning run with single in
the sixteenth inning. Falk singled
with che out in the sixteenth and
took second on an infield out. He

Seven of the IS Princeton track
athletes who composed the team
which was victorious over Oxford
university in England at the Queens
club grounds, London, last summer
will again wear the orange and black
against the combined Oxford CAM

over % feet in this event, besides
running the 100 yards close to 10.
The dual meet and British cham
pionship first place honors also went
to Speers in the hammer throw, and
he is getting a distance of about l55
feet at present. Halsey is again a
favorite because of his recent record
of 46 feet "a inch in the shot put.
Bill Stevenson is Coach Keene
Fitzpatrick's hope in the quarter.
Besides doing well in the indoor sea-
son, Stevenson recently set record
of 48 As seconds for the quarter in
the Princeton-Ya1e dual meet here.
He was defeated in England last
year by Bevil Rudd, the 400-meter
Olympic champion.
One of the features of the meet
in New York this year will be the
appearance of George Trowbridge on
the Oxford team, competing against
his former teammates of old Mas
sau. Trowbridge graduated from
