best kicking back seen here since
Jack Flavin was at his best, which
was not last season. The Tech
man got height and distance into
his punts and usually booted the
ball to some unguarded or lightly
guarded section Of the field. His
brilliancy as dropkicker is proved
by the three field goals putting
Tech ahead in the first quarter.
Maryland's open field tackling
was not good. There was too much
reaching and not enough lunging.
On close work, though, the Mary
land forwards usually held their
victims nobly.
Maryland tackles North Caro-

Probably some Of those watching
the Tech-Maryland game will go
out to College Park to enjoy it.

CAFETERIA OPEN IN STATE,
WAR AND NAVY BUILDING

Col. Clarence o. Sheriff., Officer
in charge Of public buildings and
grounds, announced that cafeteria
would be opened in the State, Wal
and Navy building today. The
cafeteria will be under his general
direction, as are all cafeterias In
Government buildings.
In deciding to open the cafeteria
Colonel Sheriff. was forced to turn
down a plea by the Presidents sis
ter, Mrs. Heber Votaw, and Brfga-
der General Sawyer, the Presi
dents physician, that a mutual
friend of theirs be permitted to oper-
ate the place. Mrs. L. H. Krause
Mrs. Votaw's friend, was said to be
working to have the franchise fol-
the cafeteria granted to her.
Colonel Sheriff. turned down hel
request because, he said, he would
be exceeding his authority If he
granted it. There is a regulation
which says that all eating places in
Government places must be under
Federal operation.

possible violence when Robert O.,
and Larkin G.. Garrett, brothers, went
on trial for the murder of the Rev.

The first move today was that OF;

One feature of the case Is the
presence of friends of Judge Humid

side, to protest against the filing OF
a statement by the State to the eff
feet that Judge Hundley, a very old
man, had been the victim of abuse
of confidence on the part of the Gar

Judge White has already issued or
ders that no person is to be allowed
in court until he has been searched
and that newspaper men will have to
be identified. Argument on the
charge of venue proposition is ex-
pected to consume the entire day.
There is an enormous crowd Of
people at the courthouse, and one of
the orders is that no person is to be
allowed to stand in the courtroom or

Discussions.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July
26.-Anthracite miners and oper-
ators in conference here remained
deadlocked today over the question
of complete recognition of the United
Mine Workers of America through
out the anthracite fields. Union
recognition and the much discussed
"check off, system Of collecting
union dues are the two most vital
matters before the conference, which
hopes to reach an agreement and
avert a possible hard coal strike on
September /.
Both sides got down to "bed

It was stated that of eleven for
NAL demands made by the miners
only two-union recognition and
demand for pay increases of twenty
per cent for contract men and 81
per day for day men are big OBJ
stacles in the way Of reaching
satisfactory agreements.
The matter of a wage increase,
it was stated today, will not be
taken up until the question of
union recognition is settled.

DIVORCE FOR AMERICANS
GROWS HARDER IN PARIS

PARIS, July 26.-Inquiries among
American lawyers in Paris indicate
that Americans have more difficulty
in getting divorces here than would
be supposed from the number
granted. One-third of the judges be-
ing Catholics, disapprove of di-
vorce upon religious ground; an
other third is described as regard
ing with disfavor applications Of
foreigners for divorce, and the re-
naming third of the bench look
upon the matter with indifference.
Sentiment in legal circles of
Paris is developing strongly against
the French courts being utilized for
the convenience of Americans who
are unwilling to resort to their own
courts. preferring to establish legal
domicile In France to claim the
rights that accrue to them under
French law.

Treasury officials marked this as
