STER STAR BASKETIERS-BIe GAME
AND LAST, MARCH 2s.

Westminster basketball followers
got more than an ordinary treat for
their journey to the State Armory
Tuesday night, one of the cage events
of the year taking place. This was
the game between the married men
and the single mems teams, and the
former triumphed over the exponents
of single blessedness, 16 to 4. In fact,
they demonstrated that the Hen
Pecks" could really play basketball
that is really play in comparison to
what their opponents were doing.
The "Henpecks" were not long in
showing that they could play better
than the single mems team, and filed
goals were the only thing that count
ed in scoring. They were ambitious
and, as not many fouls were allowed,
and there was no one to shoot 'em ir
they had been, the scoring was left
entirely to two-point leaps. Walsh
and Grafton were the only ones on
the losing aggregation that could find
the basket and this they did only once
each. The "Henpecks" used 10 play
ers to win the game.
In the other contest of the evening
the Westminster All-Stars lost to the
Baltimore All-Stars, AZ to "a. 1t wax
a pretty game, both sides putting up a
fine battle. Smith and Jones did the
real basketing for the visiting COM

100000 PERSONS FACE
FAMINE IN SMY MYRNk
CBy Associated Press)

SMYRNA, Sept. 12-The 100000
persons in Smyrna face famine with
in week unless food supplies arrive,
according to H. c. Jacquith of Darien,
Conn, managing director of the Near
East relief, who is experimenting re-
lief measures in cooperation with a
group of Americans here. The FOOD
must come by boat as the sea is the
only route now left open.
The last foodstuffs left by the Greek
army upon its evacuation has been
consumed and the situation is growing
more desperate hourly. Already 30,
000 refugees are without food. The
relief organization has established its
Headquarters with other American
agencies in a waterfront theatre and
the distribution system Is working
smoothly.
The commander Of the Turkish
troops of occupation is cooperating,
and has promised that within two
days the city will be adequately pa
trolled. This will enable resumption
of the importation of foodstuffs by sea
without the danger of riots. Only
those refugees who had engaged pass
age before the entry of the Turks
have been able to leave.

ENGLAND WILL BEGIN
INTEREST PAYMENTS
BEFORE DEBT FINDING
(RY Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Great
Britain probably will begin the pay
ment of interest on her war debt to
this country before arrangements are
made for the funding of the s5,000.000
of obligations it was indicated today
at the treasury.
On Oct. Is, officials declared the
first installment of interest on the
British amounting to $65.000,000 falls
due, and although British financial
mission has been expected to leave
England in time to begin funding ne
gotiations with the American debt
commission by the latter part of this
month, so far this country has not
been notified of its impending depar-
ture. With September nearly half
gone officials expressed the belief that
funding arrangements could not be
worked out with Great Britain before
the latter part of October.
The view, however, was expressed
at the treasury that Great Britain
would meet the Oct. Is installment of
interest making payment through New
York bankers as the Pittman-Silver
debt is being liquidated and that by
Nov. Is, when about S35, ,000, ,0G0 or the
remainder of the semi-annual Install
ment of interest falls due the pro-
gram for England meeting its war
time obligations to this country will
have been completed.

wanted peace with England and would

DARING POLE FLIGHT
FROM NORTH ALASKA
(By Associated Press)

NOHENdAGEN, sept lZ.-t Is
generally believed here that Captain
Roald Amundsen, Norwegian explorer,
has already undertaken his daring
flight to tn North pole, from northern
Alaska. This belief is strengthened
by the fact that the Norwegian govern
ment has asked the we'll known Dan

Captain Hansen, who is busy work
ing out a scheme for the exploration
of western Greenland next spring, is
unable to accede to the request, but in
an interview, emphasizes the neces-
sity of sending urgent relief expedi

LEADERS PLAN
ADJOURN
OF CONGRESS
Speed Made in Conference on
Tariff, Soldier Bonus Bill,
Coal Legislation and Other
Measures.
WORK IS CLEARING UP
CBy Associated r-ess1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Adjourn-
ment of congress next week was
planned today by leaders as a result
of the speed made in conference on the
tariff and soldiers bonus bills, the ad'
ministration coal legislation and other
measures.
A few other important bills were on
the schedule for the remainder of the
session which began last December,
and members of congress hoped to be
relieved next week for the fall cam
paign.
Final disposal of the tariff and bonus
bills early next week is believed pos
sible with expectation of prompt action
by President Harding on the bonus
measure. Little else remains before
the house, except conference reports
under the agreement to defer the ad
ministration's merchant marine legis
lation.
Tariff Bill Progress
The administration tariff bill as fin
ally perfected in congress was present
ed in the house today and the confer
ence on it bearing the signatures ol
the Republican managers will be called
up tomorrow with the expectation that
it will be disposed of not later than
Thursday. The measure then will &C
to the senate, but because of opposi
ton to the dye embargo and other pro
visions, action there may be delayed
week or more.
AS now framed the bill is estimated
roughly by the experts to raise approx
imately $400,000,000 in revenue on the
basis of the present value of the ma
tion's import trade. The level of its
rate, according to the experts, is slight
ly below the level in the Payne-AldricE
bill. The bill becomes effective imme
diately after President Harding sign:
it. replacing both the Underwood anC
emergency tariff acts.
Reduce Tariff Rates.
In rewriting the bill in conference
the Republican managers reduced thu
wool, sugar, and dye rates. The WOO
rate was made 81 cents secured
pound as against the senate rate o
33 cents and the house rate of q
cents. The commensatory duty II
manufacturers of woolen goods wal
cut down slightly in consequence. Th'
ad valorem rates were unchange'
however. ranging from 40 to so per
cent on cloth. from so to 40 percent ol
blankets and light articles, and from
40 to so percent on outer wear, from
80 to so percent on knit underwear
and from 35 to so percent on hose
gloves and mittens.
What line of action senate oppor
ents of the dye embargo would folloy
in their efforts to have the provisio
