FISH PUTS IN BILL
FOR BIG STADIUM
Former Yale Athlete Wants
Memorial to Theodore
Roosevelt on Speedway.

Legislation directing the erection of
a giant stadium on the Speedway as
memorial to Theodore Roosevelt
was introduced in the House today by
Representative Hamilton Fish, jr., of
New York, who emphasized that this
proposal is in line with the sugges-
tion of Engineer Commissioner Bell
and one made several years ago by
Lieut.. Col. Clarence o. Sheriff., for
mer director of the public buildings
and public parks.
This is the second measure for
stadium on Washington's waterfront
introduced at this session of Congress.
Gallivan Has Plan.
On the opening day Representative
James A. Gallivan, Democrat, Of Mas
sachusetts, introduced a bill for a
stadium to seat 100000 persons, to be
erected by the Army Engineer Corps.
The author of each bill is a formerly
famous athlete, Mr.. Gallivan at Har-
ward and Mr.. Fish at Yale.
The Fish bill provides for a COM
mission composed of five members,
one of whom would be the Speaker.
This commission would act without
salary and report to- Congress at the
beginning of the next Congress re-
garding location, cost and feasibility
of such a stadium.
Army.Navy Game.
When the proposed stadium is
erected, Mr.. Fish explained, Wash
ington will become the logical place
to hold the Army-Navy foot ball game
and if these games are held here
every two or three years the stadium
would pay for itself.
Chairman Elliott of the House COM
mittee on public buildings and
grounds has assured Mr.. Gish that he
will hold a meeting of his committee
soon to consider this measure.
Mr.. Fish points out that Col. Roose-
welt was the great exponent of out
door life and that such a monument
would be most appropriate to his
character, a fitting tribute to the love
of physical exercise, fair play and
craftsmanship which predominated
in the life of Roosevelt.

present when DENLY signed the con.
tract, the witness replied that he
remembered it very distinctly. "Mr.
DENLY went over the papers in de.

Roberts questioned the witness
about the press release concerning
both the April 25 and the December
IL contracts. The latter was pre-
pared for the press at o'clock in the
evening, he related, and owing to the
fact that many newspaper men would
miss it at that hour, he urged DENLY
to issue it the following morning. He
had prepared the statement himself,

Among the character witnesses,
Thomas Grady of Los Angeles, who
described himself as a partner" of
Doheny when the two prospected Al

been extraordinarily gratifying" Mr..

that the public tribute to Mr.. Rudolph
will be witnessed by an overwhelming

zens of Washington, to make the test

event that will long be remembered.

Ormiston was taken to a hotel
where he spent the night, and Chlet
of Police Thompson said that he had
not been placed under arrest, since no
charges were booked against him at
the police station. He is wanted in
Los Angeles on charges of suborna

defeat justice.
Today Chief Thompson was called
to the hotel for a conference with the
detectives. A short time later Ormiston
and the Chicago detectives left in the

The party left the hotel by a side
door and hurried to the waiting car.
II do not know where they have

was not under arrest and that was
the reason that the case was not
handled directly through the police
station"
Detective Carson also admitted the
trio had left the hotel. II can't tell
you where they went," he told news
paper men.
Ormiston was not registered at the
hotel and was kept strictly in thu
custody Of the detectives and, so far
as is known, communicated with no
one today. A check at the office OF
Gov. Pinchot disclosed that no effort
had been made to obtain extradition
papers.
Ormiston was traced to his apart

Residents Of the apartment house said

LONDON, December 9.-Censure of
the governments policy during the

of Commons yesterday by Ramsey

but the motion was defeated, 339 to

The Liberals abstained from voting,
although former Premier Lloyd

declared that he personally agreed
with Mr.. MacDonalds criticism.
The opposition benches greeted the
Macdonald move with loud cheers.
particularly when the former Labor
premier declared that the govern

the confidence of the country. He
urged that a general election be held.
The prime minister had a stormy
reception from the Laborites, who
greeted him with Kisses and shouts
OF "Mussolini." The Conservatives

Without going into the details of
