season President and Mrs Coolidge
started down the Potomac River yes
terday afternoon aboard the yacht

deck when the yacht nosed her way
out of sight in the driving snow
Mr.. Coolidge has shown a liking

Shop at 1217 Pennsylvania avenue,
pointing a revolver at Mrs. Mabel H.
Papineau. wife of the proprietor, and
taking into his possession a card con-
tanning 80 diamond rings valued at
$2,125.
There was excitement a short time
later on Pennsylvania avenue. when
the woman ran out of the shop and
told her husband, who had just driven
up in an automobile, what the man
who was casually strolling across
Pennsylvania avenue southwardly
toward Twelfth street had in his
possession.

The warrant on which Zottarrelli
was arrested charged specifically
that on October 10 he sold $40 stamps
of the face value of $1,000 to a Cleve-
land dealer in securities. Fatul and
Zalupo are charged with selling
smaller quantities of the stamps on
September 9, and Colluci is said by
Federal officials to have sold num-
ber of the stamps at Zottarrellis re-
quest. Zottarrelli said he accepted
the stamps in payment of fees for
legal work and that he did not know
they were bogus.
Federal officials state the plot in

has been in operation In New York,

The workmanship of the engrav-

felt plot was not entertained until

$4,000 WATCH YALE
DEFEAT PRINCETON
Blue, Winning 100, Favored
to Trim Harvard and Take
Big Three Title.
By the Associated Press

PRINCETON, n. j., November 10
The Bulldog clipped the Tigers claws
and blasted his dream of Big Three
championship this afternoon in Pal
mer Stadium.
Before a colorful crowd Of close to
$4,000 and under drab skies, from
which a bitterly cold wind whipped
through the big stadium, Yale un-
leashed a mighty machine that
smashed its way to victory by a score
of 10 to 0. and toppled Princeton
from the heights of greatness it had
scaled only a week ago by crushing
Harvard.
Yales triumph, by a margin even
more one-sided and complete than the
score indicates, came as an upset al
most as startling as Princeton s
transformation against the Crimson,
for the Tiger had entered the fray
favorite. AS a result the Blue, now
apparently at the top Of its stride,
will be favored to conquer Harvard
next Saturday in the deciding game
of the title series and complete sec
ond undefeated season for the Blue.
Kicks 44-Yard Field Goal.
Yale concentrated all her scoring
Scott booted a remarkable drop-kick
for a field goal from the 44-yard line
and Joss, giant lineman, scored d
touchdown on forward pass from
Kline, after Phil Bunnell had put the
pigskin within scoring distance with
a brilliant 45-yard run back of a
punt. But the Blue outclassed the
Orange and Black in every other
period and was within three yards of
another touchdown, ripping the Tiger
line to pieces, when the final whistle
blew and stopped the drive.
The Ellis not only displayed decisive
driving in their attack. but put up a
brilliant defense in which Joss and
Capt. Lovejoy were the outstanding
figures that completely checked
Princeton's offensive efforts, except
for a few sporadic instances. Ted
Williams, Jake Slagle, Charley Weeks
and the other backfeld aces who had
run wild against Harvard were checked
repeatedly in their tracks or thrown for
losses by the alert, rugged Eli forwards.
ELI Never Menaced.
So thoroughly was Princeton's at
tack stopped that the Tigers never
threatened the Eli goal, and, in fact,
were only once in Yale territory dur
ing the entire game. That was in
the latter part of the third period
when the Tigers, lashed to a fury
by Yale's scoring squirt, gained As
yards in two plays, forward pass
from Slagle to Tillson and a slash
ing 25-yard broken field run by
Slagle, which put the ball on Yale's
45-yard line. But the Blue defense
quickly stiffened and forced the
Tigers to kick.
Princeton, it seemed had gone
stale since It's startling victory
week ago, for the Tigers showed
none of the fire and dash that char
acterized their play against the

opium problems, and although the
conference should have finished its
work tonight, so that a report on its
conclusions might be presented to

as when the sessions began a fort
night ago. China charged that if the

smoking in the Far East, such as
rationing and the registration OF
smokers, it was because they did not
wish to do So
England charged Japan with at
tacking the British government dur
ing the discussion over the Japanese
proposal that countries exporting opium
should recognize the imports certificates
issued by other countries, and furnish
opium when the documents declare that
the opium is for legitimate purposes. Sir
Malcolm Delevingne, speaking for
Great Britain disclosed that pri-
vate negotiations concerning expor-
tations and trans-shipment of opium
have been going on between London
and Toxic, and he expressed aston

question al Geneva.
