School Board to Consider System
 Of Supervision

A proposal that the school board take actual control of finances in connection with high school athletics and establish more adequate sys- tenn Of accounts with reference to l other incomes Of the institution | caused considerable discussion at yesterday afternoons meeting of the l board when it was mistaken to mean return to the old alumni athletic council. After the misun- l derstandings had been cleared up the board voted to study the propo- sition.
 Acting on vote of the board President r. r. King named Com mitteemen James J. Butler, Louis w. Young and William II Day a committee to investigate the ad visibility of establishing more di rect control of high school incomes particularly those derived from football games.
 The proposition was the last to come before the meeting. MT. But Ter moved appointment of a com mittee to look into the advisability Of creating an athletic council along similar lines to one which formerly existed.
 Mrs. Fife C. Kimball, committee member, asked what had become of the other council. Supt. Holmes ex- planned that it was intended to con- trol athletics at the school, but it was dlsapproved by the principal who was in office previous to MT. Slade and he abolished it. It was , made up of one member of the alumni body, two faculty members. and seven representatives from the undergraduate body and was ap- pointed by the principal.
 l would not like to have the sit nations arise that came when the alumni athletic council was in exist 'uce before, for there was hard feel Ing and tad feeling and 1t was not un'll a long time after that the school was able 10 feel comfortable aSaln, Secretary Henry T. Burr de CIared
 He said that if the supervision of athletics was what Mr. Butler SUE Sested. he would certainly be in lavor Committeeman Young smoke lf favor of a financial supervision of high school activities and suggested that corporation similar to the one winch now has charge of the financ- Ing Of the bleachers be formed.
 Supt. Holmes was opposed 10 9 plan to bring back the old alumni association which would dictate the policy of athletics at the school and expressed himself against such q move. He said the policy under which athletics are now being con- ducted is satisfactory When he was told by MT. Butler that it was not the latter's desire to have an as- soclation formed, he expressed en- thuslasm for the plan.
 At one time during the heated dis cusslon Committeeman Butler rose and explained that control of finances vas the object sought and that he did not intend that the selection of players and control Of athletics be considered.

 ALBANIAN ENVOY
Hostile Native Youth Shoots
 Minister in Cafe

Prague, Czecho- -Slovakia, Oct. 15. -P0After gulping three glasses of cognac. Agiviadh Bebi. a young AL banian. suddenly approached Tsena Bey, Albanian minister to Jugo- slavia. and Czecho- Slavia, in a cafe on the Wenzelplatz last night and fired two shots into his back. The minister died on the way to the hospital.
 This deed accomplished, Bebi calmly handed the revolver to a waiter, surrendered his passport to policeman, and was taken away without resistance. To the police commissary he explained that he had killed Tsena Bey because he be- lieved the minister intended to be- tray Albania 10 Jugoslavia. Bebi had been frequenting the cafe where the shooting took place for three days
 Repeated questioning by the po- lice failed to shake his assertion as to the motive for his crime. He said he was born at Fl Bassan, AL bania, in 1904. His occupation he gave as a student. News of the as sassination spread rapidly and caus- ed a sensation.
 Death Causes Sensation
 Tsena Bey. already minister to Jugoslavia, had been only recently named minister to Czecho- -Slovakia as well. A brother-i -in-law of Ahmed zogu. the Albanian president, he helped him depose former Premier Fan Noli and was at one time his commander-fn-c chief and minister Of interior and foreign affairs. He was only 32 years old
 Not sharing Ahmed Zogu's friend ly feeling toward Italy, it is said, he resigned his cabinet portfolios and military command and was sent to Belgrade as minister at his own re- quest He had many friends there as he also had in this country.
 Tsena Boy took the Jugoslavian side in the recent incident arising over the arrest of the Dragoman of the Jugoslav legation at Tirana, the Albanian capital, and refused to re- turn to Albania when called by Ahmed Zogu. The Ora goman incl dent was finally smoothed over through the diplomatic intervention Of the great powers.
 or Prominent Family
 The slain diplomat belonged to one of the most prominent of Albanian noble families and was widely cul- tured, Known as an advocate of the Balkans for the Balkans peoples" he Was credited with seeking to promote closer relations between his country. Jugoslavia and Czecho- Slo- vakia.
 The police alleged that his assas- sin had been in Prague but four days and that he came here direct from Rome, where he spent a week.

COOLIDGE STATES
 POLICY ON LOANS
Fears International Complica-
 tions May Result

Washington. Oct. 15 P-Presi. dent Coolidge takes the view thai drastic regulatory legislation by con. eress on the state department policy of sanctioning or disappearing American Bankers loan to foreign countries might caused embarrass, ment to this nations international relations.
 The president intends no change at present in the departments pro- cedure, it has been officially stated at the White House, but he was rep resented as recently considering abandonment of the practice. The policy is regarded by Mr. Coolidge as authorized by the constitutional pro- vision placing the conduct of foreign affairs in the hands of the chief executive.
 Answers Senator Glass
 The views of MT. Coolidge on this advisory function of the department with the bankers on such loans were made known yesterday in connec- tion with criticism of the policy by Senator Glass, democrat, Virginia, who characterized it as unauthorized and becoming a probable matter for discussion at the next congress.
 Further clarifcation of the policy was made by the state department with the disclosure of the form Of letters sent to bankers requesting it's attitude on foreign loans. At the same time Senator Borah Of Idaho, chairman of the senate foreign re- lations committee, while saying he did not wish to be regarded as criti- cizing the department. expressed his belief that the administration prac- ice should be terminated.
 Government Keeps Out
 As evidence that the government contention of neither actually ap- proving nor disappearing the loans IS valid the department made public a para agraph on the form letter which stated the department of state does not pass upon the merits of foreign loans as business proposi- ions nor assume any responsibility in connection with such transac- tions." The form letter also stated that mo reference to the attitude of this government should be made in any prospectus or otherwise" An other section of the form letter read in the light of the information be- ore it, the department of state of fers no objection to this financing"
