n The Navy today won Its
IN eighth game of basket ball
"A for the present season, but In
order to get the margin OF 32-to- 30
score over the University of Mary
land it put UP one of the hardest
fights that ever have been required
of it In any branch of sport.
The score at the end of the first
half was tied at Is points, and Mary
land. which had a most brilliant
shooter in Boyd and a good team
throughout, led during a portion of
both halves. The Navy was able to
forge ahead by a few minutes at a
time, but except for the closing mo-
ments of the game Maryland was
able to close the gap and sometimes
to get the lead by a point or two.
Both Use Strategy.
Maryland met the Navy's usual
strategy of starting heavy reserve
team by making three changes In
It's own lineup when, at the end of
10 minutes of playing. the Navy put
it's regular Ave on the floor. The
score favored the locals by to z
at that time, but was evened at once
when Faber, one of the new players,
scored from the floor.
During the remainder of the half
three field goals were scored for
Maryland by Boyd, who was shooting
from all parts of the court and every
position. but baskets by bennett,
Miller and Hamilton knotted the
count.
A shot from the foul line just
after the second half started gave

QuGzol and 0SmenS
In Washington for
Talk on Philippines

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 80. -
Tomorrow the arrival Of Manuel Que
zon and Sergio Osmena, of the Fill
pino nationalist movement will open
the negotiations which must surround
the appointment of new governor
general of the Philippine Islands, to
succeed Major General Wood, de-
ceased. A decision must also be made,
if it has not already been done,
whether to continue Woods "caval-
ry cabinent" program of severe sup
preston in the Philippine Islands, or
try some more conciliatory process.
There is no expectation that actual
independence, such as was freely
promised by both republican and
democratic administrations in the
mast, will even be discussed.
Broken Promises.
Since these promises were made, it
has been discovered by the U. S. gov
ernrnent that the Philippines will grow
yubber At present England has al
most a monopoly on the crude rubber
supply. It has also been demon
strated that the United States is
ready for . wide campaign of i'm
oerialism, and conquest of foreign
markets, for which the Philippines are
good base Of operations. And the
struggle in China further emphasizes
he imperialist Importance of the is
lands. But, political experts point
out, if the Quezon-Osmena group
cares to bargain, the mere fact that
they are in a position to rally GER
tain amount Of support for this new
est program of exploitation in the
islands, they can have for themselves
little more patronage in island po-
litical posts, and some pretense at
home rule.
Around their decision hinges to
some extent the choice Of Woods sue
cessor, the experts say. The last man
suggested is General ]. A. Hull, judge
advocate general of the army. In
spite of his military title, he is sup
posed to be in favor Of modification
of the Woods policy, on the basis of
drawing certain Filipino interests
into cooperation.

Seven Men Buried 4,lOO
Feet Deep in Houghton,
Michigan, Copper Mine

HOUGHTON, Mich, Oct. 80. -
Seven men are still imprisoned,
perhaps dead, in a mine shaft A.
100 feet deep in the workings of
the Quincy Copper Mine here. An
air blast blew up the roof of the
tunnel in which they were work
ing at repairing timbers injured in
a fire recently.
The entire shaft and drift ap-
preaching the scene of,the accident
IS SO badly wrecked that it may
be several days before rescue par
ties can approach. Little hope is
held out for the lives of the men,
who are thought to have probably
been killed by the blast itself.
The mine is 5000 feet deep, one
of the deepest in the world. Air
blasts take place in large mines,
where sudden shifting Of the
ground in certain levels forces the
ain thru into others. Lack of suf-
ficient ventilation to the surface
and too few shafts for the space
opened up below is the underlying
reason.

received a serious blow when Justice
of the Peace Joe Baron, who Thurs
day afternoon tried the first six per-
sons arrested on charges of picketing,
ordered the defendants released on
the ground that the state had failed
to establish case of picketing thru
lack of evidence.
Great Power of Strike.
Mass meetings are held twice
daily, N the afternoon and in the
evening, and the attendance is very
great. Reporters who have watched
industrial disputes for years and
are seasoned in strike developments
said that never in the history of
the Colorado labor movement has a
strike been so effective as the pres
ent one conducted by the /. w. w.
The mine operators have agreed to
allow strike meetings to be held on
the company grounds, bowling to the
tremendous forces of the miners who
have followed the most aggressive
strike. Even during the days when
policy ever used before in miners
was recognized as being militant

came out one hundred per cent in

of mass picketing which has stopped
all arrests.
Injured Girl Leader Fights On.
Milka Sablich, young rebel girl
leader is leading the l. w. w. pickets
despite the fact that her arm is par
alyzed after having been the victim
of the attack of company gunner at
the Ideal Mine. She addressed mass
at the ball park here in Wal
senburg. The enthusiasts applause of
the miners showed how idolized this
young woman has become in short
time.
The arrival of the national guards
which was predicted by the brass
checks of the state of Colorado has
failed to materialize so far. The air
planes, however, were observing
strikers activities during the day.
The feeling of the strikers is very
high on this matter, and the sending
of the militia would only fortify the
miners resolution to carry this strike
to it's logical enthusiastically victory.

New Witnesses for
Teapot Dome Graft
Trial Coming Soon

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 3d.
Two more relatives of Albert B. Fall,
secretary of the interior at the time
of the Teapot Dome oil frauds will
probably be called tomorrow to testi-
fly in the case against Fall and Harry
F. Sinclair charged with defrauding
the government out of about thirty
million dollars worth of naval oil
lands in Wyoming. They are ex-
pected to refuse to say anything very
damaging to Fall.
The Supreme Court has already
ruled that the lease was fraudulent
but the possibility of convicting Fall
and Sinclair of actually committing
the fraud seems more doubtful.
,..-..-@ Eyerhart Won't Tell.
The best evidence has been ex-
cluded, Justice Siddons ruling that
Sinclair's damaging admissions be-
fore the Senate Investigating Com
mittee in 1928 can not appear in this
trial, and that Falls son-in-law, NJ. 7.
Everhart, need not tell where he got
$230,000 in Liberty bonds which he
is known to have had in his possess
sion at one time are good for the de-
tense.
In fact, Everhart admits that he
carried the bonds from somewhere in
the East to Pueblo, Colorado, and the
bonds later appeared in Falls pos
session. But Everhart refuses to say
where he got them. Extremely strong
circumstantial evidence indicates that
they came from Sinclair, and were a
bride intended to loosen up the thirty
million dollars worth of oil rights.
The jury is thought to be friendly
to Fall and Sinclair.
Another witness expected during
the next day or two is Captain H. A.
Stuart, U. S. ~, who disagreed with
Fall about the necessity for turning
over Teapot Dome to Sinclair, and
got himself sent to service abroad for
his pains. He has not previously
testified in this case.
