THAW REFUSED
ADMITTANCE TO
MARSHALL TRIAL

Philadelphia, March 1S.-tAP)-
Harry K. Thaw. who knows what the
inside of many courtrooms look like,
turned up today at the trial of David
l.. Marshall, charged with killing
Anna May Dietrich and cutting up
her body. He was barred because he
did not have a card of admission.
Thaw said he arrived here today
from Pittsburgh and visited City
Hall to call on a judge. The judge
was not in and he wandered down
the corridor to the Marshall trial. The
guard on the door recognized the
slayer of Stanford White and refused
him admittance.
A year and a half ago Thaw was
the central figure in lunacy proceed
ings in city hall which resulted in his
release from hospital for the treat
ment of nervous diseases.
After making a telephone call to
New York and posing for pictures,
Thaw was followed by a crowd to an
elevator and left the building. He
said that he was going to New York.

Larry Walsh Of Dexter and Bobby
Jones of Portland are mingling in the
semi-final attraction at Portland Tues
day night These boys fought first at
Augusta, Walsh winning by K o.
In the second meeting Jones turned
the trick and rocked Larry to sleep.
This bout was arranged by popular
demand.
Fame is tickle thing. When Harry
Sears was arranging for his last show
in Augusta he wrote to Laddie Lee of
Portland asking for terms for a main
bout in City hall The Portland boxer
wrote back terms that would have
brought better boys and the bout was
passed up. Night before last Lee was
knocked out in the first round in a
battle with Battling Therrian. a San
ford product. Without doubt Lee
would be willing to come down to a
reasonable guarantee Just at present.
One Of the most satisfactory club
fighters in this State Is Young Cyclone
St. Louis Of Old Town, and yet he
doesn't seem to be getting much ac-
ton this year. st. Louis tagged sew
eral rugged duels with Barney Grant
and showed himself to be as tough as
the toughest, for in their first match
he caught Barney with an uppercut
that lifted Grant over foot from the
floor. His appearance in this section
should be pleasing to the fans who
like plenty Of action.

Mayor Mclean to &
Help in Drawing
Democratic Platform

portland, March 18-Mayor Ernest
L. Mclean of Augusta, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for gov
, ernor, has been invited to meet with
/ the Democratic State Committee at
| the Falmouth Hotel next Tuesday
| night TO discuss leading planks in the
| platform to be adopted at the Demo-
| cratic State Convention at City hall
/ the following day.
The two planks regarding which
the most care will be taken in franz
! ing will be those. regarding prohibit
ton and water power, according 10
members of the State organization.
The prohibition plank will take a
form that will be entirely acceptable
to the gubernatorials candidate. 1t
was said yesterday. Whether the
candidate will accept a prohibition
plank that will declare for law en-
forcement and assert that the time
is not ripe for modification of the
Nolstead Act, or whether he will
insist that there should be in it an
affirmation of the principle of fed
eral prohibition, is a question that
influential members of the State or
sanlzauon are taking under consid-
Grafton.
1t is recognized generally that the
Democratic Party is quite as much
divided as the Republican Party
upon the water power issue.
the prediction is being made that
no definite declaration will be made
Tor or against the repeal of the Fer
Maid law of 1909 forbidding power
export. The platform is expected to
ask for the settlement of the water
power question through the appoint
ment or a non partisan investigatin
committee and the adoption of legis
iatlon along the lines recommended
ny such a committee.

that there will be no opposition 70

|CONY GIRLS TEAM
PLAYS Sk0WHECAN
| THIS AFTERNOON

The Cony Girls basket ball team
will meet the clever aggregation rep
resenting Skowhegan High school
this afternoon on the City hall floor.
The girls, after discouraging start,
during which the team dropped sew
eral games and was looked upon as
too inexperienced to make much OF
a showing, staged a comeback last
week and rudely halted the Portland
high string of victories.
The Skowhegan school Is repre-
scented by capable outfit which has
been winning most of its games at
home and a goodly share of the con-
tests on strange floors and feels con-
fident that the Cony team will get
another defeat tackled onto them
after the game this afternoon.
The Cony forwards are considered
by many to be the best pair in the
State and if the ball is fed to them
with any degree of regularity Show
hogan will find the going rough
against the locals. The girls have
been putting on good games and
with no rival attraction in the city
for this afternoon good crowd
should be present at the game.

Statesmen Believe
Time to RefashiOn
Leagues Covenant

Geneva, Mar. IS. (AP) - The
great league of nations reorganiza-
ton scheme was launched today. The
statesmen noting that Geneya's in
stitution Of peace and international
cooperation was endangered by the
past weeks extraordinary events,
caused chiefly by the veto Of Brazil
against Germans entry into the
league, have determined that the mo-
ment has arrived to refashion the
leagues covenant.
Germany and her ministers, who
returned to Berlin without being
granted the legal rights to member
ship, VIII play a prominent part in
the projected work of reconstruction.
Various Latin American countries
Will take part in an investigation to
consider constitutional changes, and
the Far East will be represented by
both Japan and China while Poland
and Switzerland will, with the other
states seated in the council, take
care of the suggestions of Europe as
to what should be done to make the
league better and safer as an inter-
national machine.
A special commission has been ap-
pointed to see how the league cove
nant could be revised in order to
obviate future deadlocks such as has
been experienced, and consider meth
DDS of election of the council. This
investigation may go far, indeed, in
revamping the leagues constitution
for the commission is practically
without restrictions.
The commission will meet at &C.
neva May 10 to study the covenant
as relates to the council and 1t was
set forth in the report of Viscount
Ishii, president of the assembly, that
the geographical principle, namely.
that the different continents of the
world should be represented, should
not be disregarded.
An unofficial French idea is to in
crease the council from 10 to Is. In
doubtedly the great problem the in
vestigators must face is whether the
unanimity rule of the council is to
be preserved.

NATIONAL PRO
FOOTBALL LEAGUE
AGAINST new BODY

New York, March 1S-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press)-Professio foot
ball, making a greater bid for popu-
lar favor than ever before, faces a
civil war. with forces of the National
Football League arrayed against
those of it's newly formed rival, the
Grange-Pyle sponsored American
Leaguelof Professional Athletes.
Battle lines in the pending con-
flict already are being drawn al
though the playing season Is six
months away.
In many respects the situation In
professional football ranks resembles
that in major league baseball quar-
ter century ago. Then the National
League, already well established was
called on to meet the opposition of
the American league. 1t was a bitter
war for time but in few years
differences were smoothed out and
the rivals Joined in what is now the
dominant force of the national game.
Similarly the National Profess
sional League is fighting to main
tain the position of ascendency 1t
has held UP for five years under the
leadership of Joe Carr of Columbus,
Ohio. The newly launched American
League, with Grange as it's outstand-
ing playing attraction has strength
ened its position. observers believe by
engaging the old Princeton star, big
Bill Edwards. to act as president.
Recently the American League
forces announced that August Herr
mann, president of the Cincinnati
Reds. would hold a franchise in their
circuit, but since then Hermann has
declared he will cast his lot with
Carr and the National Leaguers.
Many observers believe, however,
that the competition between the ri
val organizations in the end will
prove beneficial to the development
of the professional gridiron game and
that after the preliminary skirm-
ishing for position has ended they
will join hands as the baseball
leagues have done
Whatever their differences may be
on other scores. the two football
leagues are a unit on one point-their
desire to keep hands off, the col
lege game. The rumpus stirred up
last fall, when Red Grange stepped
from his last college battle into pro-
fessional ranks has had the effect of
influencing both pro" leagues to
adopt stringent regulations against
signing college talent. Both have
decided that no college star, or high
school player either. can be ap-
preached now with PRO" offer I'M
til his class has graduated.
The National League went a step
further by adopting rule that any
player who had been dropped from
his college team for misconduct
would be barred from professional
ranks.
