 BUSY IN PARIS Arrival Of Finnish Team Spurs Americans
 To Action

PARIS, June 30-The American Olympic forces. somewhat crippled in the track and field and wrestling divi- sions, but brimming over with confi- dence, swung today into the final week of preparation for the major cham pionships, which begin next Sunday. Activity in the training camps was spurned to a higher pitch with the arrival of the Finnish team of 54 track and field athletes, half the size of the United States squad, but looming as the latter's most formidable rival.
 The men from Finland are not given to predictions, but their followers evil dence keen confidence that the team will score as many first plays as the Americans, if not more.

AS STARS PLAY IT

 Answered by
 RAY sCHALK
 Catcher, Chicago White sOxi one of the greatest backstops of all time, Has caught In 100 or more games per season for the past twelve years.
 A catcher can often forecast a bunt because of the nervous tootwork and body position of the batter. For a bunt, the batter will usually adopt body position which is '1ooser" than when he inttnds 10 take a vicious swing at the ball. If you, as the catch.

TWO MENTIONS CLOSELY GUARDED
 FROM TRAIN GANG
Roundout $2,OOO,OO0 Mail Robbery Cleared By
 Testimony

t CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Wiilie Newton and his brother, Willis, who; today pleaded guilty to the robbery of approx imately $2,O0OO0O in the .holdup' of a Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul train near Roundout, H., last June, were rushed to Waukegan tonight by United States Marshal Levy. Rumors that the men had confessed, involving several others held under indictment here on the holdup charge, caused Marshal Levy to transfer the prisoners to Wau- kegan. as he feared they might be harmed by those they involved in their confessions.
 Judge Adam Cliffe suspended sen- tence in the case of the' Newtons for the present.
 Further questioning of Bert Glass cock, arrested recently in Battle Creek, Mich, and said to be the 'brains" of the gang which staged the holdup, led to the belief that the loot was about Ito be recovered. No statement was forthcoming from the marshars office, but it was not denied that the Newtons had revealed the hiding place of the ivaluables taken in the robbery, which are said to consist of $1,000,000 in cur rency and $1 ,O0O, 900 in negotiable se- :curities.

WANTS ACTION ON
 JUDICIAL VETOES
Professor Advocates More
 Power For Congress
(By Associated Press. ]

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-An amendment empowering congress to re-enact federal laws over a judicial veto would "be to the advantage of the supreme court ,'' Prof. Ellsworth Paris of the University of Chicago, declared in an address here tonight.
 ''It would strengthen the prestige of the court" he asserted. There would he stronger resentment than there is against President Coolidge, if congress had been impotent to pass the bonus bill over his veto, and he were respon- sible for having given it final blow. Existing resentment against the supreme court results from the sense of impo- tence in the face of judicial power. 'If the people had, through con gress, the same power for appeal from judicial veto that they have from a presidential veto, this cause of resent ment would be removed"
 Miss Jane Adams, Chicago social worker, also addressed the meeting which was called by the Illinois woman's section of the La letteWheeler com mittee.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-(Special.) The department of agriculture, after careful study, has declared an opinion to the effect that it is without power to prevent the location in the south by the Chicago board of trade of of ficial places for the delivery of cot ton purchased on exchanges.
 Senator N. B. Dial of South Caro- lima, contending that the establishment of southern points of delivery would react deleteriously on the price of cot ton, expressed to the. department his contention that southern delivery points could not be legally established.
 It is reported that today that the Chicago board of trade will settle the dispute between Galveston and Houston as to the relative merits of each for the point of delivery by making both points of delivery. There has apparent ly been sharp division among south ern farmers and financiers as to wheth- CT southern delivery of cotton sold on exchanges would prove a boon or a danger to the market value of the staple,

NEWSPAPERS SEEK
 TO BECOME TAX GOAT
Many Volunteer To Be Object
 Of Stones Test Case

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Attorney General Stones proposed suit to test the right of newspapers to publish fed eral income tax records has appealed to several newspapers as an opportunity not to be overlooked, according, to de- partment of justice officials, who said today that the attorney general has re- ceived requests from several newspapers to be made the "goat" in the test cases. It is unlikely, however, that any of them will be accepted.
 While Mir. Stone has made no decision as to where or when the test suit will be filed, the novelty of the experience of an individual or corporation desiring to be made defendant in a suit instituted by the government has proved something new to old attaches of the department.
 The department is awaiting replies from all the United States attorneys who have been requested to supply the attorney general with statement of facts upon which they can develop q case.
