YOUNG STUDENT HURT IN FIGHT
 AT BALL GAME
Alabama Cheer Leader Is Knocked Unconscious
 By Sewanee Fan

l.. N. Carter, cheer leader for the University of Alabama, was unconscious late Saturday night at the Birmingham Baptist hospital from a blow on the head said to have been inflicted by V. G. (Blood) Miller, former Sewanee star end, during the Alabama-Sewanee foot ball game Saturday afternoon at Rick wood park.
 The case of assault and battery against Miller was postponer Saturday night in police court pending the out come of Carter's injuries.
 According to witnesses, Carter ap- peared on the field between halves lead ing a burlesQue band. A group of Se- vance men were occupying the field at the time and were singing one of their songs.
 When they neared the Sewanee sing CTS, Miller/is said to have left the group and walked up to Carter, asking him to leave the field until their song was finished. Carter's answer was lost in the din that followed.
 Miller, witnesses said, started to lead the cheer leader from the field and had carried him about 10 feet when he began to resist. Miller showed the man from him and Garter is alleged to have struck him with broom stick he was carrying, and to have followed with a blow with his COW bell which struck Miller on the arm.
 Miller struck one blow, witnesses said, which landed on Carter's jaw and dropped him. The unconscious man was removed to the Birmingham Baptist hos pital in Johns ambulance where his condition is said to be serious X-ray pictures were made to determine the cx- tent of his injuries.

LaFollette that a huge "slush" fund is being raised for the, support of the Cool idge-Dawes ticket were pre- sented today to that body by Frank P. Walsh of Kansas City, counsel for the 1nde- pendent presidential eandl- date. :
 In submitting a batch of correspond ence on other data upon which the charges are based, at least in part, MT Walsh said he would undertake to show that three funds were belng col Iected in the United States, None py the national committee, the regular fund one fund created by the bankers of the United States and taken care of by them, and the other by the man ufacturers and business men. f
 Walsh also told the committee
 that Senator IaFOlIette had told \
 him over the long distance tele-
 Dhone that he had 'under-esti-
 mated the amount of the "slusll"
 fund that was being raised to carry
 this election when he said that he
 thought it would he four million
 or five million dollars"
 After discussing the subject fully in executive session late in the day, the committee decided to resume the hearings in Washington next Tuesday and to summon first witnesses from Philadelphia and Washington in order to determine first whether the La Fol lette charges can be supported by evl- dence before witnesses are called from distant cities.
 Chairman Borah said subpoenas would be issued for these witnesses Joseph R. Grundy. Edward T. Stotes- bury, Samuel NJ. Vauclain, president of the Baldwin Locomotive works; Nathan T. Folwell, treasurer of the Manufac- turers club; w. k. Atterbury, vice president of the Pennsylvania railroad 1; Chester w. Hill, and John T. King, all of Philadelphia, and w. T. Galliher, chairman of the District of Columbia,
 
 republican, ways and means committee :; T. V. O'Connor, member of the United States shipping board; Carl W. Rid dick, national organizer of the Ma tional Republican league, all of Wash ington and also for the manager sof the Hamilton Hotel and Taxicab company, both of Washington.

Ge- rard. treasurer of the democratic na- tional committee, regarding campaign contributions to, and expenditures by the national democratic organizations.

MAY REJEoTs ALL BIDS
Congress Expected To Assure Shoals Operation, However.
 tWashington Bnreau)

tN0ShingG0n Bure1uD
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.--While the situation involving Muscle Shoals, since Henry Ford has announced his re tirement from the list of prospective owners, is chaotic, there is not shadow of a doubt that the farmers, nevertheless. will get their fertilizer, and the nation be protected in the matter of explosives, in the event of another war.
 Every member of congress, of what ever political persuasion, declares that the program, aa above indicated must be carried out. It is the unanimous con clusion, also, that some arrangement will be made for operation by the time the Wilson dam is completed in July, 1925. ,sH
 There is this other feature which in- dictions are will be adopted. In all probability, it is said, congress will re- feet all pending bills, and having done so will draw up it's own specifications and permit everybody to compete in an open market for leasing privileges.
 May Get Together
 \ On such measure it is believed that all discordant factions might get togeth- CT. The radical element, headed by Senator George W. Norris; the "reac- tionary'F element headed ,by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, and the democratic or pro- Ford element, headed by Sena- tor Oscar w. Underwood, might find common ground. This would guaran- tee action hastily, it is pointed out, for it is a matter of common knowledge that the inability of the three discordant clements to get together precipitated the deadlock of nearly three years in which no real progress was made,
 It is strongly indicated today that such bill will be drawn. It will be
