SYND|CAuSM LAW
 DECLARED VALID California and Kansas Statutes
 Both Are Upheld SUPREME COURTS RULING
Highest Tribunal, In Ruling on California Case. Approves Con- viction of Miss Anite Whitney Un- der This Law.

Washington. May 16 LP - The criminal syndicalism law of Cali fornia today was declared valid and constitutional by the supreme court in case brought by Charlotte Anite Whitney.
 Miss Whitney's conviction for participation in the organization of the communist labor party in Cali fornia was approved.
 Justice Sanford in delivering the opinion said the law was within the discretion of the legislature, and that freedom of speech does not con- fer the right to speak without re- sponsibility.
 Control is Proper
 It was proper, the court asserted. to control utterances inimical to the public welfare.
 Miss Whitney had insisted that the law was an unconstitutional re- strain upon her right of speech and of assembly. asserting that she had participated in the meetings in op- position to the extreme radicals, and that she did not favor the change in industrial or political conditions through the exercise of force.
 The state contended that she had continued her utilization with the California communist labor party after it had adopted the Chicago platform of the national organiza- ton Of that party and after it had committed itself to advocacy of radi- cal methods, including the use of force.
 Another attack of the law, brought by William Burns, convicted in northern California, also was thrown out by the highest court.
 Kansas Law Upheld
 The Kansas criminal syndicalism law also was upheld today by the supreme court.
 The question reached the court in an appeal Of Harold D. Fiske. convicted under the statute because of his activities at Geneseo, Kansas. as an organizer for the I. w. w.

Mansura. La., May Is P>-Many deeds of heroism have been per- formed by coast guardsmen in the churning waters pouring through the Bayou Des Glaises crevasses. A majority of them will go unrecorded.
 No though of personal safety en- tcrs into their work. Such was the case with E. w. Lunn. motor ma chinists mate, who plunged into the waters swirling through a crevasse near Bordelonville. to save two lives less than 24 hours ago.
 1900 Saved Sunday
 Rivalling the skill of Canadian voyageurs in the handling of their surf boats amid the treacherous whirlpools and roaring rapids of the crevasses, 300 muscular and fear less members of the coast guard rescued 1900 men. women and chill dren from crumbling levees and floating house tops of the West Atchafalaya basin yesterday.
 Performing feats in 30 feet surf boats which many veteran boatmen of the Mississippi would not dare, the coast guard crews repeatedly shot their small craft through the crevasses to take families to safety. With their small white caps perched at janty angles and sleeveless jer- seys and dungarees visible. the guardsmen accepted every challenge offered.
 Soaked with spray time and again. the surf boat crews careened dizZily through the narrow gaps. Every life was saved. The coast guards men having met the severest rescue test of the flood.
 Pliers Also Heroic
 Another branch of Uncle Sans service came through the Bayou Des Glaises crisis with colors bright the fliers. Naval and marine avia- tors, flying eight and nine hours at a stretch, have carried on an almost incessant search for marooned per sons.
 A forced landing meant a smash up in trees or floating debris. Twelve pilots, the entire flood squadron. flew over the inundated region. Their discoveries of refugees led to the saving of several hundred lives, 1t was believed at rescue headquarters here today.
 The air was full of orders and di- rections about rescue work, as naval radio operators on coast guard ves- sels and river steamers sent mes sages.
 Army engineers and artillery of fcers directed rescue work and evacuation of the refugees. A coast and geodetic survey staff. cruising about in a small launch mapped the

 When Henry L.

Only today Rear Admiral I.atimer reported an attack on an American camp at Chinandega, but he reported no American losses.
 Soon after the arrival of the ma rines in Nicaragua, numerous re- ports were circulated that there had been loss of life among them, but these were denied by the ma rine corps headquarters here. No report had been received at the navy department today on tho clash at La Paz Centro, with the resulting loss of life to Americans

Be Extended to Other Schools.
 Boston. May 16 R-The Boston Transcript in a story published to. day says that Harvard, Princeton. Dartmouth, West Point and Brown have all agreed to eliminate scouts at Yale football games in New Haven next fall.
 Although official announcement at New Haven will be withheld un- til tomorrow" the Transcript says, 'it was learned today that Yale's eff. forts to eliminate scouting next fall. SO far as its opponents are con- cerned, have been successful. Har- ward. Princeton. Dartmouth, West Point and Brown all have agreed to eliminate scouts at New Haven next fall and the other three colleges on the Eli schedule unquestionably will fall into line.
 "The acquiesence on the part of Harvard, Dartmouth and Brown probably means that these three CO.'S leges will not scout one another. al- though that Is something for the fu- ture to determine. Harvard's offis cial attitude doubtless will be de- termined at tonight's meeting of the committee on the regulation of ath- letic sports.
 Yale Princeton Pact
 Hast year Yale and Princeton put through non-scouting pact. It iS understood that Professor Nettleton, head of Yale's board of athletic con- trol, recently came to Cambridge 10 discuss the matter with Harvard of- ticials and that he obtained a promise of cooperation.
 "Athletic Director William J. Bingham of Harvard today declined to discuss the matter but his atti- tude on the subject has been that Harvard should be willing to coop crate in such movements. 1ale's idea was that if it could obtain promises from all it's 1927 opponents to eliminate scouting the plan would receive thorough trial"
 Newspaper Item
 The Boston Traveller says today:
 Harvard has signed a non-scout- ing pact with Yale for the 1927 sea- son. By agreement Harvard and : Yale pledge their players and coaches and those connected with the varsity eleven not to receive any information concerning the others football formation, etc. Further more Yale has signed similar pacts with Princeton, Brown. Dartmouth and West Point.
 With one exception Yale. which has taken the initiative in the action. has been able to form a non -scout- ing pact with all its 1927 opponents. Yale even now is understood to be working on that college and 1t has held up announcement of its ban on scouting until that last college has been swung into line.
 Harvard. it is understood, agree reluctantly not to scout Yale. Whats more, evidence gathered indicates that Harvard practically was forced into the pact with Yale and that Harvard will not adhere to it longer than year.
 What Yale did, 1t is understood.
