BUYS SUBSTITUTE
 TO SERVE SENTENCE
Harding Orders Investigation ol
 Cleveland Case

Washington, n. C., Nov, lS,-Ths existence throughout the country or q practice whereby convicted criminals are enabled to escape jail sentences by hiring substitutes 10 serve in their place at n specified fee has come 10 the attention of President Harding
 A singular story exemplifying the existence Of the practice was related at the White House today. It involv- ed a bootlegger sentenced to jail, the hiring of n substitute 10 serve his thirty day sentence, the loan of $500 to pay the substitute at the rate Of s10 a day (including meals) by a third party, the ultimate discovery of a conspiracy and the sentencing to jail of the man who made the loan.
 The incident called to the attention of the president occurred in Cleve- land, but the president believes 1t is not uncommon and also that It sa- yors of collision on the part Of orl- cers of the law.
 A we'll known citizen came to the White House to ask the president to exercise clemency on behalf Of the man who made the $500 loan for the hiring of the substitute. Back Of the appeal for clemency there Is this
 Some time ago in Cleveland Adams T. Meyer was sentenced to 30 days in the workhouse for bootlegging. He did not go to the workhouse but was represented on the roll of that insti- tuition by Walter Beattie, who had re- ceived $500 from jeweler of Cleve- land. Manuel Biskind. to "hll in for Meyer in jail.
 Beattie demanded a higher price than s10 day plus meals--and from the new demand the attention or om- cials was attracted to the conspiracy
 The upshot of it was that Biskind The ieweler, was sentenced to six months in jail and s1,000 fine. The decision of the lower court was ap- pealed to the supreme court, but the latter sustained the findings Of the lower body. Now, as a last resort comes the appeal to the president foi executive clemency. Whether the ap- neal will be needed by the president depends very much onwhether the ieweler made the loan Knowing It was to be used to enable convicted crlm- tnal to escape his sentence,

Secretary Davis Urges Capital and Labor to Get Together-Con-
 demns Cheap Labor" Views

Los Angeles, Nov. 1S.-James G Davis secretary of labor in an ad- dress at the labor temple here last night opposed strikes on the theory they could be averted by mutual un- derstanding between labor and capital. He defended child labor laws and ad- vocated strict immigration law. Strikes might easily be averted If the committees representing both la Dor and capital would meet around council tables 60 days beforeNa strike instead of waiting 60 days after," he said.
 There is no one who will question the right of labor to organize. It has the same right as capital to organize.
 "The man who advocates cheap la bor is not much of an American to my notion of thinking.
 T am opposed with all my heart and soul to the so-called living wage. It is not American for man to re- ceive just enough to live on. If a man Is only to get just enough for his

CLOCK IS SILENCED
Post office Department Has Bell in Lexington, Ky, Stopped As It An noys Hotel Guests.

Washington, Nov. 1s.-Orders were issued by the treasury today stopping the striking of the clock in the tower of the post office building at Lexington, Ky. Complaint was filed by a hotel of the city against the booming of the tower timepiece in the night on the ground that guests seriously object to the nocturnal serenade."
 Recommending the silence order, the treasury's report declared:
 The striking of the clock In itself does not, under the conditions of this age, add to the benefits derived from tower clock. In olden days when few people possessed clocks or watch es, the public clock in the church steeple filled great want But now when nearly everybody owns a watch and every residence it's own clock, tower clocks, especially as to striking the hours, are no longer a crying necessity nor public utility"

caught by German on Princeton'r goal line and run back ib yards be- fore he was checked, Thompson then punted out Of bounds on Princeton's 30-yard line. After q short conference Yale put the ball in play with Captain Jordan batter ing Princeton's center for two yards, Neale then cut inside of Princeton's left end for i've yards and Jordan battered another out of Tiger for- wards before Gray hauled him down. A double pass, Jordan to Scott, was smeared by Treat and Princeton took the ball on down, Thompson imme- diately bunting to Yalc's 45-yard line when Neidlinger made a fair catch, Neale, with pretty dodging run through the right wing of the Princeton line, made five yards be- fore Caldwell could get his hands on it. Captain Jordan, however, could add nothing in way, of gain when he charged into Dickinson.
 Baker, coming from behind, threw Neale for a four-yard loss ia. an at tempted end run. Neale was forced D punt the ball out of bounds on HrlncetonS oo-ydTu line.
 Sensational Tackle.
 Cleaves, in run across the field, lost q yard when Scott threw him after chasing him foot for foot across the line, Cleaves then attempted a forward pass but the receivers were so well covered that while he was trying to find someone to throw the ball to three Yale tackles pulled him for a yard loss. Thompson then punted to Scott near midfleld and after Neale had made yard was intercepted by Cleaves and 1t was Princeton's ball on her own 40- yard line.
 Smith went into the game in place of Stout for Princeton.
 Princeton Attempt Fails.
 On the first lineup forward pass, Cleaves to Smith, the Princeton right end, gave the Tigers, first down on Yale's 30 yard line. From back field box formation Crum plunged through the Yale left tackle for a yard gain. A repetition of the play failed to gain. Lovejoy also spilled Caldwell without gain. Cleaves, standing on Yaless 35 yard line de- liberately drove a drop kick which sailed over the heads of the players and hit the goal post upright. There was considerable confusion before it was decided that the ball had passed outside instead of inside the post and was not a field goal. Yale gave the ball to Captain Jordan on its own 20 yard line and in two charges at the Tiger center he accumulated 8 yards, after which Meals punted to Princeton's 35 yard line. At this point Disnmore replaced German as quarterback for Princeton. Follow ing the substitution Cleaves dodged and dove his way fcr a g yard gain around Yale's left wing and appeared on the way to touchdown when he was forced out of bounds oh Yale's AS yard mark.
 The first half ended with the score; Yale. 0, Princeton O..
 He then attempted a long forward pass which was grounded. Luman here replaced Eddy at left end for Yale and Thompson bunting the ball went to the Ellis on their own 25 yard mark. Griffin replaced Afford at cen ter for Princeton. On the first lineup Jordan slipped outside of Treat for a g yard run before he was forced over | the side line.
