JONES BELIEVES
TROJANS READY
FOR WASHINGTON

LOS ANGELES, Dec. / (R-Coach
Howard Jones, satisfied that his Uni
versity of Southern California grid
ders have been shown all there is to
be shown about pass defense. today
stressed in the Trojans practice the
need of a stonewall in the center of
the line to meet the plunging of the
heavy purple and gold backs of Wash
,ington here Saturday.
\ While sending Troy's warriors
through defense formations in prep
,aration for the Huskies' pile-driving
attack, Jones attempted to mend the
holes that Christy Flanagan and his
Notre Dame. henchmerl tore in the
front wall The. Trojan line is green
from the standpoffhsQ experience, and
Jones now believes It naKely that only
because it had not met Strong plung-
erS before Notre Dame was efioount-
cred was S. G. saved from disaster on
previous occasions. Washington, al
ways a line smashing eleven, he thinks
will renew its tactics of that type with
inspiration gained from the success of
Knute Rockne's team.
But Troy will not be caught nap
ping. A strong line, re-einforced by
move whereby Nathan Barrager will
play right upon the scrimmage line
instead of in his usual position of
rowing center, will greet Messrs. Tes-
reau and Carroll when they take a
fling at the walls of Troy.
The short, choppy pass used by
Coach Enoch Bagshaw might prove a
thorn to the Trojans, especially with
the center playing up into the line,
but jones has decided to stick to his
man -to-man aerial defense. 1t stop
ped the famed Notre Dame passes, ex-
cept on one disastrous occasion, when
Ray Dahman went past Russ Saunders
to take the toss that gave the mid
westerners the game. Saunders, how
ever, slipped and fell in the mud while

ACT
VIOLATOR FOUND
GUILTY BY JURY

TUCSON, Dec. P)-The jury
trying Estaban Borgaro, Jr.. local
curio dealer, in federal district court,
OH charge of violating the neutral
ity laws of the United States, re-
turned late today with the announce
ment that it had failed to come. to
verdict. Jose Gandara, Ell Pass
photographer was found guilty on
a similar charge by the same jury
earlier in the day
The case went to the jury early
Wednesday afternoon, and after being
instructed to return a sealed verdict,
should a decision be reached during
the night, remained locked up until
this morning, when the jury brought
in a verdict of guilty against
Gandara.
Prior to rendering the verdict
against Gandara, the jury sent word
to. the court that no verdict had been
reaehed in the case against Borgaro
Judge William H, Sawtelle, presiding
in the case. ordered the jury to re-
turn the verdict in the case against
Gandara.
This was complied with and the
jury requested that it be-. taken to
the spot where rifles and war NUM-
tions were said to have been de-
livered by Borgaro. The judge perA
mitted this to be done.
Attorneys for the defense, George
Hilsinger and Tom K. Richey, ac-
companied by Borgaro and govern
ment officers, went to the scene prior
to the jury, but failed to reach an
agreement as to the exact spot.
i Judge Sawtelle instructed the jury
to visit both places. This was done
and the jurors were taken back to
the jury room Later in the after
noon they reported that they could
not agree.
Gandara received the verdict, con-
victing him of conspiring to violate
the United States neutrality laws,
without a show of emotion. His
attorney, James D. Barry, requested
that sentence be passed at once. This
the court declined to carry out, and
the Ell Paso photographer was taken
to the Pima county Jail.

in the white stockings, together with

Removing Live Stock.
Director Morgan today sent out two
barge steamers with instructions to
remove from the weakened levees
south of here the hundreds of live
stock, which are trampling the en-
bankments and causing danger of
sloughing.
So serious was this stock problem
this morning that the transportation
director gave written orders to the
steamboat captains to concentrate
solely on the removal of the mules
and horses and ignore entirely the
human refugees for the time being,

Vicksburg Beehive of Activity.
The Government representatives
selected a real center of activity as
the starting point Of the latest in.
spection trip into the stricken Missis-
sippi valley.
Vicksburg. Of Civil War renown,
has been turned into a beehive of
action as the result of the great influx
of new refugees from the levee breaks
south of here. And even as the flood
party pulled away from the shore
there was being unloaded near by a
fresh contingent of refugees from
northern Louisiana.
High up on the bluff ON the out
skirts of the city could be seen the
tent-spotted heights of historic Fort
Hill, where most of Vicksburg's 10,000
flood fugitives are quartered in mill
tary camps, guarded by detachments
of the Mississippi National Guard.
