LONCWORTH IN
LIST OF EXTRA
SESSION FOES
Coolidge Advised Same by
Many Leaders; Nye
Charges Plot.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. l5.--A
battle over the proposal to call an
extra session of Congress or a
special session Of the Senate was
fought on the White House door
step today.
After Speaker Longworth Of the
House had advised President Cool
idge against calling of an extra
session and Chairman Borah OF the
Foreign Relations Committee had
declared himself as non-committal
on the issue. Senator Nye, In
dependent Republican, North Da-
kota, charged that "the Republican
Old Guard is plotting against an
extra session for its own ends"
Longworth told the President no
good could be accomplished by
special session. His views, ADDED to
those previously expressed by the
nominal leaders Of Congress, Senator
Curtis, Republican, Kansas, and
Representative Tilson, Republican,
Connecticut, floor-leaders Of both
Houses, male the advice received
by Mr.. Coolidge almost unanimously
against the proposal.
To all intents and purposes, the
House is now organized, Irongworth
said. The Ways and Means and
Appropriations Committees will get
together early, he said.
1t will be possible for Army engi-
neers to submit a concrete bill for
flood control before the session
opens, Longworth said.
"If there is any temporary flood
relief to be enacted, it should be
framed by the appropriations COM
mittee," he said.
There is no logic in calling an
extra session, when no constructive
flood legislation can be made ready
in time"
Longworth promised tax reduce
ton would be considered early and
estimated the cut might be $780,
100000.

ARMITAGE EXPOSES DUVALL

he was likely to stub his toe on this
money question.
Odd he say anything to you
about any appointments? Ayes,
one man on the board of works. I
said one man wouldn't do me any
good.
Armitage said that about the time
a change was, contemplated in the
board Of works, when Roy Q. Shane
berger and Lemuel Trotter we're to
be ousted, he spoke to him about
appointing William Freeman.
Freeman Gets Letter
"Duval said he woulc have Free
man get a few letters of recommen-
dalton from business people and
then appoint him."
Odd Freeman get the letters2
Ayes.
Odd you see them? Ayes.
Q-Who were they from? Al
just saw the envelopes, don't know.
Q-Did the letters go to Duvall?
Ayes, sent them.
Q-Was Freeman appointed? A
No. v~
Questioned on Jury Visit
Armitage then was questioned
about his visit to the county grand
jury. He said he was called in
July for the first tims, but later
admitted being called before, when
Joe Schaf was on the jury" This
was the first jury called to i1vesti-
gate alleged political corruption.
Q-Did you talk to Duvall before
going to the grand jury? Ayes.
Q-When? Al called him in the
morning and told him I was sub
poenaed for the afternoon and I
wanted to see him. I asked him If
he was going to stand pat.
Q-What did he say? Allie said
he couldn't do anything else.
Ordered TO Tell Story
Armitage said when he went be-
fore the grand jury he refused to
testify and was brought into
Criminal Court and ordered to tell
his story.
Odd yoa meet Duvall after go
ing before the grand jury2 Ayes.
Q-Where? AIT his house.
When I got there Duvall said he
had read where I was before the
judge and made answer to questions.
I didn't reply to his remark. He
went on, saying that there was only
one thing for him to do and that
was to say that gave him the
money.
Q-What did you say? Al made
some remark about him being pretty
damned bright or smart, I think
said pretty damed bright.
Q-What else did you say? Al
told him I hadn't said anything yet.
Q-What did he say2 Ale said
I'll never forget you"
The State then attempted to show
what means and methods Armitage
had exercised in gazing support for
Duvall in the 1925 election and cam
paign. The defense attorneys OBJ
jected to this and were sustained.
State Tries New Line
The State branched out on an
other line in an effort to get Ar
mitage to testify as to what he
hoped to gain from obtaining the
appointments Of Ernest Kingston
and Freeman to the board of works
and Frank c.. Lingenfelter to the
city engineers post.
All these questions we're objected
to and sustained.

CANADA AFTER
LEAGUE SEAT
BeIgium's Withdrawal En-
Iightens Outlook.

BY united Press
GENEVA, Sept. 15.-Canada's
candidacy for League of Nations
council membership doomed today
when the assembly defeated an eff
fort to declare Belgium eligible to
reelection.
The Belgian request for re-
newed eligibility failed by 20 votes
to 10. Foreign Minister Wander
velde Immediately addressed the as
sembly, attributing the vote to a
matter of principle rather than to
hostility toward Belgium. He. as
sured the assembly of Belgiums
continued collaboration with the
league.
The vote for three new mem
bers of the assembly will take place
late today. 1t appears certain that
Cuba will succeed San. Salvador.
Canada has a good chance to OBJ
tain either the seat to be vaca-
ted by Belgium or that which
Czecho-Slo now holds. The
seats at stake are temperament.
Finland, Greece and Portugal are
eager candidates, with the latter APP
parently in preferred position.
1t was stated today that France
will propose to the third assembly
committee that all security projects
now before the committee be aban-
doned. In their stead the French
would draft a comprehensive secur-
ity pact to be substituted to the
1928 assembly along with the
leagues draft of a disarmament
convention.

three, Johnson. Mathewson and

They take precedence over all other
pitchers because of their super-eXcei.
lence over long periods. Each of
them has been surpassed for sea ason
or two or three. Together. the three
pitched more base balls to deceive bat.
ters than any other trio that has lived.
Johnson's total games will number
about 500. The best way to appreci.
ate what that means is TO divide the
total into seasons of 154 games each.
Thus it Will he seen that Walter has
pitched the equivalent of more than
five complete major league seasons Of
ball games. Imagine how that right
arm has swung back and forth.
Johnson has won about AIS games
in his II years. That is more than
any pitcher ever won in any one
league. In the percentages of won
and lost he will not have a record,
because he worked so much of the
time with a team that could not bat
behind him. Pitchers are dependent
upon other players for such records.
Make no mistake about that.
In strike-outs. of course. he will
lead the world. That is an individual

LONG COUNT A bad
BREAK" SAYS JACK
BY FAlRPLAY.

NEW YORK, October 21.-Anent
the long count Gene Tunney received
in the memorable seventh round Of
his engagement with Jack Dempsey
in Chicago. it is gratifying to learp
that Dempsey now dismisses the Incl.
dent with the terse statement that
the breaks" went against him.
1t is So like the real Jack Dempsey.
Jack was aware Of the knockdown
rule. amended by the Illinois Boxing
Board. and what was fair for Gene
could have been just as fair for Jack.
Those who wagered on Tunney and
refused To accept their winnings he
cause they did not believe they right
fully won are at variance with the
rules as they are interpreted these
days. Some fans reason thus: "A
man down 10 seconds is knocked out
and no rule can change the meaning
of the original Marquis of Queens
berry rules"
The originator OF the rule that after
knocking down his opponent. fighter
must retire to the far corner. or to
the one designated by the referee. is
Jack OSullivan.
O'Sullivan has officiated in several
hundred contests and knows the
angles OF the game. lie had good
reason for proposing such a rule. In
many fights it will be noticed that
fighter. after knocking his opponent
down, stands over him and blazes
away before the other man can pro-
tect himself. This is fair. but hardly
sportsmanlike. The idea in having n
fighter so to far corner was TO pre-.
vent fouls. because many fighters. in
their anxiety to finish a man. start
their punches before the fallen one
has fully risen. The rule is fair
one. il YOU take time TO reason 1t out.
