The defeat of the confirmation of Charles B. Warren for attorney gen. eral will be a disappointment to his many admirers in the United States. MT. Warren is one of the brainiest men ever placed i'll nomination for the position and would have filled it with satisfaction to the administra- tion. He was the choice of President Coolidge, who recognized his value as a lawyer and statesman. The nine Republicans who voted against the confirmation, should be placed in the same category as LaFoollette, Ladd, and Brookhart, and made to see the error in opposing administrative ap- pointments. As ambassador to Eng land and other countries, MT. Warren had made good, and it was expected he would be nominated without the opposition of any member of his party.

Parks has been a resident Of Alaska for six teen years, and is as we'll known iii Seward as any Federal official can be-. His duties in the General Land Office have brought him to the city maHy times, and he has made many warm friends here.
 MT. Parks served through the war as a captain in the engineers corps. and al the end of the war returned to Alaska as an employe of the Interior department, having charge of all pub lie lands in the Territory. He was superintendent of the townsite sales for the Alaska railroad and had super vision of the disposition of all town sites along the railroad. He also act ed as trustee in the sale of many other government properties in the Territory, In 1924 he was advanced to the post of assistant supervisor of surveys and public lands in Alaska, which placed under his control the entire administration of public lands in the Territory, including their sur vey and disposition under the various homestead and mineral acts of Con- gress.
 MT. Parks is now on his way back to Alaska, and will probably visit Seward shortly after his arrival in the Territory.

Death Duties May Wipe
 Out Ancestral Estates
(By Associated Pressl

GLASGOW, Mar. 11-The great estates of England, Scotland and Ire land are doomed to be done away with eventually owing to the death duties of landowners collected by the state and which sometimes total as high as 50 per cent. The landlords protested vigorously at first but in vain and in most cases have resign ed themselves to their fate.
 Speaking before the Glasgow Con- servative club, where he was enter tained on the attainment of his ducal jubilee, the Duke of Montrose said he doubted that the rising genera tion realized the transition which is taking place in regard to their fu- ture.
 We are running very fast in these democratic times," he said, ''and the big estates and ancestral castles which were feature of my younger days must gradually disappear in virtue of the death duties as they are now assessed. The landlords rights are being curtailed every day, but nevertheless I cannot help but think that l have lived during the most prosperous time of this old country of ours. Possibly we won't miss the old castles, after all"

IKE DAVIS HAS
FANS HIGH
REGARD
Chicago Shortstop Looks Good
to Windy City People
As Fixture

One of the reasons that the
White Sox have been d paying prop
osition all year, and destined for the
reward Of third place money, is Ike
Davis. He is the outstanding figure
in the collection Of new shortstops
IT, the American League. He has
been of more service to his team
than has Wanninger to the Yanks,
1avener to the Tigers, or LaMotte
to the Browns. Davis is no young
ster. he is tanned with Rle suns OF
eight more summers than is the
Yanks twenty-year.old shortstop.
Some think that the best part of
Ike Davis career was wasted in the
minors.
Ike does not think so. but he ad.
rnits that he wishes he could have
busted into the big show before he
did. He had great chance to come
up in 1928. when he was setting
| the double-A circuit afire, put the
| Columbus club didn't want to sell
him, and refused offers for him
| from Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
| Boston. AT the time he had been
playing ball for six years with Vari-
Gus teams, including San Diego,
Wichita, Minneapolis and Toronto.
He came from Toronto to Columbus
in 1921 and Immediately started
being ambitious to go farther. The
better Davis played to get out of
| Columbus the tighter q hold did
Columbus keep on him.
| Columbus is a charming little
capital city and somehow Davis did
| not fancy the squirrels that played
around on the State House grounds.
lie had been used to seeing bigger

he stayed in Columbus too long he
would get like the squirrels on the
State House lawn, running around
| in circles with nothing to look at
hut politicians from the rural dis
tricts and the passersby on Broad
land High streets. Even the promise
of the municipality that they were
going to tear down the old Neil
House and erect a new one failed to
attract Davis.
He hankered to show his stuff in
a town where the hotels are all OF
a thousand rooms or over. amidst
roaring elevated lines and taXicabs
in milling, maddening rows. Ike
finally got his ambition. The White
Sox came along with real cash and
bought him from Columbus. That
was last September. He jumped
into the Sox infield and has beef
There ever since. He has traded the
placid squirrels of Columbus for the
wilder inhabitants of the South
Side of the Windy City, where nc
squirrels could survive In thee at

with his lot and the White Sox are
satisfied with him. He Is an i'm

GOWDY THINKS
D CONNELL
WAS H|CK
Never Belonged in Big
League--Was Homesick
in New York
Bv JOHN J. CONNOLLY

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.-The
biggest mistake Jimmy O'Conneli
made in his baseball career. ac-
cording to Hank" Gowdy. New
York Giant scout, was when he lett
California to try his luck in the
major leagues.
Jimmy had the talent; he was
the equal Of anybody his age in
the National League In point OF
ability; but he should never have
joined a major league club" GoWdy
declares. I'm the first place, he
didn't like the East. The weather
never suited him. The big league
atmosphere annoyed him. Ana
then again. and most important OF
all, he was homesick from the
very day he joined the New YORK
Giants
That seems funny, but according
to Hank" there are any NUMBER
of cases where minor league stars
make big mistakes in ever leaving
favorite towns for the East.
"O'Connell was The type of ball
player who never would have been
contented in the big leagues, nc
matter how long he remained" con
tinued Gowdy. Jimmy was a SICK
to be back home. / think his case
was the most singular I have ever
come across in all my experience
Gowdy. a close personal FRIEND
of Jimmy. has been trying to 10
cate him. He. expects to make
connection with O'Connell before ne
leaves for home.
Hank" is a willing chatterer and
talks on any subject brought uE
for discussion-with one exception
the scandal of 1924. Here he
quits cold.
Il don't want to talk about 1t
even mention it, for it hurts me-
he says. II came to know Jimmy
so well and we were such good
friends that the very thought OF
what happened is one of the sac
memories OF my otherwise pleasant
baseball experience"

Apparently it would pay the ma

the waiver lists a little more close
~. Last winter the Yankees could
have picked up Pat Collins from
the ST. Louis Browns for $4,000
waiver price. Pat had been in the
American League five years as Sew
ereid's assistant in st. Louis. The
Browns tossed in Collins to com
plete a deal with st. Paul for
Catcher Lee Nixon. who has proved
more or less of a bust.
In one year as regular in st
Paul, Collins has come along fast
and the Yankees now are reported
to have paid $4,000 to st. Paul
TO bring him back to the majors.
