HOLIDAY TRADE INDEX SHOWS RECOVERY

tAssoclated Press Night wirel

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. D.
 Continued upward movement of busi- ness and the gradual restoration oi normal conditions are indicted in the
 comparison and reports in the last
 month with those of December, 1920,
 according to the December review of the economic situation issued tonight by the federal reserve board. Net improvement was found by the board despite the recession of busi- ness activity in December as com pared with the same month last year.
 The holiday trade,' the board said, "is test of the soundness of the preceding business activity. Re ports from the federal reserve dis ,tricts covering over half of the month that this years demand in the east ern districts has registered an in- crease running as high as 10 per cent of that of 1920 while in other dis tricts the situation is pronounced sat is factory"
 Manufacturing conditions, however, the board reported as far from uni form, there being a decrease of ac- tivity in the iron and steel industry while textiles showed little change and uncertainty exists as to the fu- ture of the clothing industry, due to labor disturbances and the continued demand of' consunefs for loYer prices.
 Freight rates" the board said, continue as disturbing factor due to the belief that reductions already announced as affecting some com may be much more widely 
 Relatively lower prices for cereals and cotton, the board continued, had discouraged trade in the agricultural districts and also had resulted in re- .arding the liquidation of frozen oans. Unemployment conditions were reported as but little changed

Associated Press Night wireo

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. D.
 Senate republican leaders today fore cast early action in filling vacancies and making committee changes re-
 sulting from the death of Senator Penrose It was expected that Sena- tor Brandegee, of Connecticutt, chair man of the committee on commits sions, would issue call soon proba- ply by the end of the week. for a meeting of the committee to act on necessary changes.
 The rule of seniority has been strictly adhered to in the senate and there were no indications that a pre- cedent would be established. Com mittee selections, however, are large ly in the hands of the committee on committees
 With the practical certainty that Senator McCumber of North Dakota will succeed to the chairmanship of the finance committee over which Mir. Penrose had long presided there will arise vacancy in the chairman ship of the committee on pensions now held by the North Dakota sena- tor. On that committee Senator Shoot of Utah is the ranking repub-t lican and leaders said he undoubted- ly could have the place if he desired it.
 There was the suggestion among republican leaders that Senator Ere of New Jersey would be named as the new republican mem Der of the finance committee. There were few hints as to who would be named to vacancies in the naval, i'm migration and banking and curfency committees occasioned by Senator Penrose's death. If the seniority rule is followed, however, western senators will be given places on the naval and banking and currency com mittees and an eastern man will be added to the immigration committee.

 Undefeated for Two Years
 Off tackle bucks, forward passes erful off-tackle bucks, forward passes and bunting were used by the Uni versity of California eleven in of fensive play against Washington and Jefferson at Pasadena, in the annual New Years day east vs. west foot ball game.
 California's team, probably the strongest ever developed in the west, using mainly tackle bucks and an aerial attack, went through hard schedule this year without being de feated and without even being forced to exert its full strength. Generally California punts great deal, waiting for the "break" and when the ''break" comes then starts its strong advance.
 No defeats have been suffered by the Bears since 1919. Last year the eleven, dubbed the "wonder team, |" went through the season undefeated, piled up high scores, won the Pacific coast conference championship and defeated Ohio State University, Big Pen champion, New Years day. This year the scores have not been so high but the conference title was won for a second time without. a defeat.

Associated Pressl

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. "A. new system of football training is being worked out at Indiana University for introduction next tall. according to Roscoe -(Cow) Minton, former In diana gridiron star and coach of the freshman squad last season. The plans were let out at the recent ban quet here of the Indianapolis alumi for the team. Here are some of the proposals:
 Dates will be barred completely during football seasons at Indiana hereafter.
 All "be-men" are expected to try out for the football team.
 Only a physicians certificate of in ability will prevent a student who does not appear in football togs from being placed on the stacker" list.
 Freshmen viii be taught football instead of trying to learn the plays of the different elevens Indiana will meet during the season.
 Second, third or fourth elevens will be used for the varsity battering ram so that the freshmen, when they be- come eligible for the varsity, will know something about football in- stead of conglomerate mass of plays as used by the universities of the central west running through their heads.
 The plan has met with favor among the faculty and undergradu- ates of the university and was re- ceived enthusiastically by the alumni.

PASADENA, Calif.,S Jan. 2. = Washington and Jefferson college football team came to Pasadena and held the University of California eleven to a scoreless tie on muddy, slippery field in the annual Tourna- ment of Roses east-west game here today It was the firt time the un- defeated Golden Bears had met their equal in two seasons, they having won every game since 19l9
 The game was a hard-fought, even battle all the way, although the muddy field made fast footwork and accurate passing and bunting impos- sible The educated toe of Archie Nisbet, California fullback, kept the Presidents away from the Bear goal line time and time again. Nisbet out kicked Brenkert, the w. & J. punter, repeatedly.
 California had a close call in the first quarter when Brenkert lodged the Bear tackles and after a 40-yard run planted the ball behind tAe west erners' goal. The score was not al lowed, however, as Captain Russell Stein, the Presidents all-American tackle, was offside when the play started.
 Both teams drove close to scores in the last period. Twice w. & J had the ball within the Bears 40- yard line and twice Stein tried ir vain to score on kick. One attempt was a drop-kick and grounded and the othe ra place-kick was blocked , In the same period on a w. & J punt which had slipped, California

There was enough water in the HasSayampa yesterday afternoon, ac- cording to Eli Perkins, who crossed the stream despite the shouted warn ings of bystanders, to give everyone in Arizona contempt for the truth. Eli says he didn't pause to drink of the stream.
 Eli yesterday accompanied three men to the NC-4 silver mine, and said that as they crossed the Has sayampa on the way out, there was the usual amount of water flowing downstream--that is to say, very lit tie. Returning, however, they found the stream of legend incredibly swol- len. Eli estimated the river to be about 30 feet wide and two and a half feet deep.

.FRANCO- JAPANESE ALLIANCE IN
 FAR EAST CALLSFORTH. DENIAL
 BUT REMAINS MARK ON HOLIDAY
Associated Press Night wire) WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Whil

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-While
 practically all machinery of the
 arms conference halted for New
 Years, the unofficial delegation of
 the Far Eastern republic took ad-
 vantage of the lull to press charges
 of secret French-Japanese under
 standing for perpetuation of Japa-
 nese control in Siberia.
 The Far Eastern delegates declared two of their charges already denied by the French and Japanese dele gates could be obtained by examina- ton of original documents in the ar chives of the Far Eastern govern ment at Chita. They suggested that such an inquiry be made by Ameri- can consular officials so that the re- suits might be known to the confer ence when it considers Siberian prob lens.
 To emphasize the French denial made yesterday Albert Earraut, head of the French delegation, notified Secretary Hughes as chairman of the conference that the charges were wholly without foundation in fact. The Branch government, he said, in a written communication had entered into no commitments regarding Si- bcria except those of which the United States was aware.
 In view of the French and Japa- nese repudiation of the charges and the position of the Far Eastern dele gates, outsiders" sent to the confer ence by an unrecognized government, the. inclination in many circles was not to take the development very seriously. At the same time, the ac- attracted widespread atten- ton.
 Naval experts alone worked today, studying technical details remaining to be settled in connection with the naval agreement. It was said their deliberations were at such stage to- night that all the loose ends of the settlement probably could be cleared away within a few days.
