Auley crossing the lower goal in the
second period after three plays.
In this period Lemieux made the
best play of the upriver team, when
he took Stiles punt and ran II
yards after eluding several well
meant tackles. All attempts to gain
on the Cony eleven proved fruitless
and Cronkhite pInted to Lapidus
who pivotted and twisted his way
for % yards through a broken field.
Cony was handed two penalties in
this period, one for offside and the
other for profanity on the field. La
pidus annexed the third touchdown
from Stiles to the same player was
grounded as the half ended.
The second half started at 40
and in the third period, the visitors
showed stubborn defensive, balk-
ing all efforts on the part of Cony
to add to their, total score. The
Skowhegan ends were getting down
fast under Cronkhites punts and
mailing Cony runners before the Red
and White could get started. To-
ward the middle of the period how
ever the Cony stands went wild as
Pete Bradstreet received long pass
from Stiles and ran half the length
of the field for what was thought
to be the fourth touchdown but the
Cony right end was ahead of the
line of scrimmage and the only
thing resulting was a five yard PEN
atty. The period ended with an in
completed pass from Stiles to Soule.
The fourth and final tally came in
the last period when Cony worked
the ball into scoring distance with
the aid of long gains through the
line and Stiles passed to McAuley.

behind the Skowhegan goal.
Then came the feature of the
game. In the try for point Babe La
pidus was sent back on aypass for
nation and the pass from center
whizzed past Lapidus' ears, falling
back nearly to the 80 yard line. Both
teams made a concerted rush for the
ball whereupon Lapidus recovered
the ball and shot pass to Stiles.
who was all by himself on the s
yard line. Stiles easily crossed for
the final point.
Skowhegan fought stiff1y through
out the contest with johnson and
Lemieux as the shining stars. Play
ing away from home with a green
team the upriver outfit fought to the
last ditch and deserve credit even
in defeat. They were best in the
third period, holding Cony scoreless.
The entire Cony squad worked we'll
and to pick a star from the outfit
would be difficult.

Would Fix Policy
On Snow Removal

Removal of snow from the state
highways and State aid highways on
a wholesale scale in order that the
motor vehicle running season in
Maine may be an all year PROPOSE
ticn, looms as an item of State and
municipal expense that must come
within the next few years.
This at least was the opinion ex-
pressed before the committee on
ways and bridges Wednesday after
noon by Haven Sawyer, secretary
ard treasurer of the Bangor Cham
Der of Commerce, and again by Paul
d. Sargent, chief of the State High
way Commission.
Mr.. Sawyer and Mr.. Sargent ap-
peared to support two acts introduce
ed by Senator Barwise of Bangor,
one calling for an investigation Of
the snow removal problem, as ex-
perience has taught other States in
tt past few years, and providing
$4,000 for carrying out such expert
ment work along snow removal lines
as the Highway Commission may
deem eXpedient. The other measure
amends the existing law to authoriz-
Jig the commission to undertake
snow removal work on whatever
scale the commissioners deem dis
cretionate, the present law not per-
hitting such powers.

Coolidge Names
WO0dlOck on Int.
Commerce Commission

Washington. March 25.-Despite
the senate's failure to confirm his
nomination, President Coolidge to-
day appointed Thomas r. Woodlock
OF New York to succeed Mark w.
Potter, resigned as a member of the
Interstate commerce commission.
Immediately there were indica-
lions of a determined fight in the
night session of congress to prevent
confirmation. Senator'S Harris of
Georgia. and Fletcher of Florida,
who with other Democrats, have in
sisted that the south is entitled to
representation on the commission,
announced they would oppose favor
able action, and predicted there
would be a formidable array against
Mr.. Woodlock.
Some Of the presidents advisers
have expressed the opinion that
while there is strong opposition to
Mr.. Woodlock chiefly on geographic
cal grounds, administration forces
would be able to get favorable COM
mittee action when the nomination
Is re-submitted, paving the way for
confirmation.
Mr.. Woodlock, who Is a writer on
financial subjects, can take over his
new duties Immediately. but there is
difference OF opinion as to whether
he can draw salary until senate con-
frmatfon is obtained. In some quar-
tiers the opinions is held that, mas
much as the vacancy occurred while
the senate was in session, confirma-
ton Is necessary before salary can
be paid. Other officials advance the
view that Mr.. Woodlock is eligible
for pay during the congressional re-
cess, as the senate took no action
on the nomination. If the nomi-
nation had been rejected, it was
held, pay would be withheld.

ADJOURNMENT MAY
COME ON APRIL 4

Adjournment of the Legislature by
Saturday, April a, is possible, If an
agreement upon a legislative finan-
cial policy is reached today.
The sentiment expressed at a
meeting late yesterday afternoon OF
the heads Of the committees dealing
with appropriations with the Com
mittee on Appropriations and Finan-
cial affairs was very favorable for a
final settlement of the entire matter
at another similar meeting today.
Governor Ralph o. Brewster was
present by invitation at the confer
ence yesterday afternoon and har-
mony and a spirit of concession pre-
vailed on the part Of all those pres
ent.
Many Of the committee heads ex-
pressed their willingness to aban-
don plans of new construction in the
interest of holding down the tax rate.
Letters were also received from SUI
perintendents of institutions in sup
port of the plan.
All indications point to final agree
ment upon financial policy which is
to adequately care for the depart
ments and Institutions. with some
thing additional for repairs and very
little, if any, new construction.
Another conference is to be held
this afternoon at 400 in the Council
Chamber.

IN GARDINER CUTS
T04DAYS PER WEEK

Gardiner, Me-, Mar. 25-Notices
were posted today in the shoe fac
tory Of the X. P. Hazard Shoe Co.,
that until further notice operations
would be limited to the first four
days of the week. A high leather
market and refusal of buyers to pay
higher prices were given as causes
for the curtailment. The factory
which was running to capacity. has
about 1000 employees. The weekly
pay roll Is about $4,000.
The following notice was posted
today in the factory:
This factory will shut down
Thursday night of this week, March
26th, for the balance of the week:
and from now until further notice
will operate on a four day schedule
a week, running Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of each
week.
We are very sorry to be obliged to
go on short time, but a high leather
market and the tendency of buyers
not to pay more for shoes makes it
impossible for US to secure enough
orders at this time to run the factory
on full time. We are in hopes that
this condition is only temporary;
otherwise it will be necessary for us
to readjust our working force on a
six day schedule, based on the bust
ness Which we can secure.

ANTI AIRCRAFT

Aboard U. S. S. Concord, off San

Forty four anti aircraft guns on the
IL dreadnaughts in twenty rounds of
fire during practice today, failed to
hit the eight sleeve targets towed by

Seventy miles off shore the dread
naughts. travelling at a speed of is
knots an hour coz miles an hour

they had.

steel sheels minute.
Four scout cruisers. which ranged
back of the line, sent their scouting
and fighting planes into the air for
gunnery control, experimenting the
aircraft catapulted wro,n the battle
ships.
The aircraft carrier Langley was
also at the battle line with its aerial
squadrons. Some 25 destroyers par
ticipated, some laying smoke screens
and others loosing dummy torpedoes
at the battle line Stimulating the de-
stroyer interference that dread
naughts must expect on the battle
line.
The statement that the apti-air
craft minute firing. Of twenty
rounds from forty four guns of the
battle fleet failed to register hit on
the eight aerial sleeve targets, was
made by Lieutenant Commander
James II. Strong of the aircraft
squadrons of the battle fleet.
"They missed the targets but near
ly hit q couple of our airplanes that
were towing Them" he said.
Arrival of the battle fleets here
tonight with the remains of the tar
gets will be followed by a detailed
examination which together with the
reports of observers will determine
the results of the firing.
The actual results Of the salvos
are confidential secrets Of the navy
department., but it was visible be-
yond doubt. officers said, that the
straddling of the targets would have
annihilated the fleet, they reported.

L|TTLETON CLOSES
SINCLAIR DEFENSE
TEAPOT DOME CASE

Z Cheyenne, Wyo., March 90 (By
a. P.)-Firing its last gun point
blank at the legal armada of the
government in the Teapot Dome
lease annulment suit. the defense
Harry L. Sinclair and the Mammoth
OIL Company-closed it's case today
with the arguments of Martin w.
Littleton, and Truman II. Newberry,
attorneys.
Mr.. Littleton's argument centered
on the contention of the government
that If the terms of the lease were
Enforced in the matter of exchang-
ing crude for fuel oil in storage
tanks, it would be illegal because it
would have subverted the power of
congress in it's right to make appli-
fations for the navy. He further at
lacked the governments argument
Plat the exchange OF crude oil by the
havy for fuel oil constituted a sale
and that therefore, the proceedings
pr such sales, should. according to
Jaw. go into the treasury of the
United States.
Mr.. Littleton stressed second
point on the principle of law which
fequires the presumption of good
faith in all transactions. He main
fained that court, in order to sustain
ehe governments charge that bonds
from Sinclair eventually found their
way into the hands of former secre-
tary of the interior Albert B. Fall.
would have to assume" a connec-
tton between Fall and the Contin-
fntal Trading Company, and then
Ninfer" that any bonds Fall may
have received, which had been hold
at one time by Sinclair, had some
wrongful connection with the leas-
tfg of Teapot Dome.
4 Mr.. Littleton argued that the in
tfnt of congress in the act of June
192O. was to direct exploitation of
the naval reserves under the super
Vision of the secretary of the navy
and that the act conferred on that
Rbinet official the broadest of pow
efs. He declared that the govern
Ihent was basing its whole effort to
pull down" the contract because of
the provision in the lease permitting
the exchange of crude Oil for fuel
oil in storage.
The case will end tomorrow with
the presentation by Owen j. Roberts,
of government counsel, of his final
argument for the government.
