Al to 20: Technical, 26 to %: aid
Manual. 35 to 20.
In the Manual game Wednesday
night Shortridge got out in front
with a big lead in the first half and
when the period ended had the adj
vantage at 10 to Z. During this time
Manual looked like one Of the worst
clubs in captivity. The south siders
made just one field goal.
Different Story
The second half proved different
story, however, and Shortrjdge was
pressed to the limit to STAY out in
front. Manual never took TIE lead,
but was within one point Of getting
on even terms several times.
If the Shortridge fans are looking
around for hero they should pick
out the littlest member of the team,
Christopher. The crown emblematic
of the city title should be put on that
youths head. He's the one respons-
IDLE.
When other Shortridgers were get.
ting nervous as Manual crept up,
Christopher pulled the game out Of
the fire by his fine work. He was
going as fast al the end as at the
start.
Christopher Stars
He contributed six field goals and
two fouls. His long shots at the
close of the game saved the north
siders when 1t looked as though the
Red and White were going to crash
through in another sensational come
back such as staged in the Tech
battle.
Manuals hero was Noll, who
played like a wild man when he got
his chance to get into the game. He
was all over the floor and dropped in
four field goals. Higgs tossed In
three. Neither of these players
started the game. Eickmann played
a strong defensive game.
Approximately $500 fans watched
the fray, by far the greatest crowd
that ever witnessed II local high
school encounter.

Wholesome Progress
in General Business

New York;. G. Dun & Company's
weekly review of business: Results
in the first month of the new year, If
not meeting the most optimistic fore
casts, have reflected wholesome prog
ress in general business. Different
measures of trade show plainly that
the main trend is still in an upward
direction, and the fact that more ir-
regularity has lately developed In
some lines is only what might have
been expected in view of the substan-
tial expansion which followed the ma
tional election. With many require
ments already covered for some time
ahead, buying not unnaturaIly has
abated in certain markets, while re-
cent storms and cold weather, though
Qulckening demand for seasonable
goods, have restrained activities and
impeded transportation in some direc-
tons. Yet weekly returns of car load
ings disclose continuance of the
heaviest freight traffic on record, and
reports of railroad earnings reveal in.
creases both in gross and net reve-
nues. The general outlook is clearly
better than that of year ago, but
conservatism is the predominant senti-
ment and business is being kept on
sound basis.

Stone Reports Gain in
Battle On Rum Runners

WashingtOn.-Altho stating that
much progress has been made toward
the solution of the liquor smuggling
problem, Attorney General Stone ad-
mitted that 3D. vessels flying foreign
flags were now engaged in carrying
liquor TO this country and that a
large amount of booze was being
illegally introduced from Canada.
As an evidence of the good work
being done by the coast guard in
fighting rum smugglers. the attorney
general, in an authorized report, said
that between May. -, 1924. and the
end of the calendar year, Is foreign
rumrunning vessels had been seized.
Thirteen were British. one Norwe-
gian. one French, and one Italian.
The report says that of the 3d. rum
runners, 3O7 fly the British flag ten
are Norwegian, four French, and the
remainder have flags OF various other
nations. A great many of these, the
reports says, do nothing but smuggle
liquor. Others are engaged in the
traffic only casually. Practically all
of them sail on fraudulent clearance
papers.

CONVICT COL. FORBES
OF SOLDIER FRAUD

Chioago.-Col. Charles R. Forbes,
former director of the United States
Veterans bureau and John w. Thomp-
son, millionaire contractor of ST..
Louis, were found guilty by jury in
Judge George A. Carpenters court Of
having conspired to defraud the gov.
eminent in contracts for soldiers hos
pitfalls.
This dramatic and unexpected end
to one of the longest and most bitter
ly fought cases in recent history came
at the end of nearly five hours de-
liberation by the jury.
Defendants and their attorneys
were stunned as guilty" came from
the lips of the foreman. Frank w.
Hadlock of Elgin.
Attorney Elwood Goldman of Forbes
counsel moved at once for a new trial.
Judge Carpenter set the hearing on
that motion for February f.
The maximum sentence under the
federal conspiracy law is two years
in the penitentiary and a fine of
$4,000.
The verdict was somewhat of sur
prise even to the prosecution, it is
said. Forbes principal accuser was
elias FL. Mortimer, an admitted Wash
ington fixer, and it was Mortimer's
shaky character on which Forbes
leaned largely in his hopes for ac-
quittaf.
There was evidence ForhaS took
money in letting at least one con-
tract for a hospital for wounded SOL
diers.
