Mrs. Rebecca Bradley Rogers was

IA years in prison.
The former University of Texas

Mrs. Rogers held up two officials of
the bank at the point OF a pistol last
December and obtained $1,000. which
later was recovered. Inc deIense

The day before the Buda robbery
the 22-year-old girl was alleged to
have burned a house at Roundrock,
Tex, in an unsuccessful ruse to rob
a bank there. At her trial several
months ago on an arson charge the
jury disagreed.

Department Approval Indicated as
Davis Issues Statement.

BY LHo AsSUcldteu HItSS.
War Department support for the ac-
ton of the West Point authorities in
having rejected proposals of the Naval
Academy to adopt three-year eligl-
bility rule for players on the foot pail
team of the two service schools was
strongly indicated today, although Sec
retary Davis declined to express an
opinion until he had more complete
knowledge of the reasons of the Naval
Academy in urging adoption of the
rule.
A formal statement issued by the
War Department said that Secretary
Davis hoped the question of arrange
ments for the annual interservice
foot ball classic would be left, as
heretofore, entirely in the hands or
the authorities of the two 1nstltu'
tons" This expression was taken
as indicating the unwilingness of Mr.
Davis to intervene in the eligibility
rule dispute, which has brought foot
ball relations between West Point and
Annapolis to the breaking point.
1.-The present foot ball relations of
the academies are based upon con-
tract for four years of competition,
Secretary Davis statement continued
That contract does not contain any
provision limiting eligibility of play
ers. The Secretary desires to refrain
from any expression until he knows

Academy desires to depart from the

PARTY LINES FORMING
FOR FIGHT ON SLASH
Oldfield SCOTS at Veto Possibility.
Hearings May Be
Delayed.

President Coolidge need not look to
the Senate to save the administra
tons tax reduction program, accord
ing to Senator Simmons of North
Carolina, ranking Democrat on the
Senate france committee, who wa'
one of the Presidents callers at the
White House today.
The North Carolina Senator ex
messed the confident belief that the
Senate will not only refuse to trim
the $3.50. 900 900 cut of the bill passed
by the House, but will probably pro
vide greater reduction than that.
He personally would like to sec
taxes reduced $500, 1000. 900. il that be
possible, and said that during the con
sideration of this legislation by th'
Senate he will do all in his power
make as large a slash as can b:
consistently done
Veto Seen As Possibility.
Senator Simmons view on the tax
legislation and his predictions. regard
ing what the Senate will probably
do in the matter are especially inter-
esting at this time, inasmuch as the
President, after expressing keen disap'
pointment at the size of the cut voted
by the House, was represented as
counting on the Senate to bring the
size of the reduction within what he
considered reason.
While discussing the matter with
friends yesterday the President, with
out giving any reason for it. said he
felt hopeful that the Senate would
pass a tax bill that would be of a
size not to threaten the Treasury sur
plus.
Already the President has limited
that, If the tax bill when ii finally
reaches him for his signture, provides
a reduction which he considers danger
Gus and unwarranted, he will vteo it.
He expressed himself as being of the
opinion that 1t would be far better to
leave the tax rates as they are now
than enact bill carrying the peril of
a cefict.
The Presidents hint of threat to
veto an unsatisfactory tax bin is not
taken by his friends as a political
gesture, but as being prompted by the
honest conviction of the Executive
that the reduction should not go be-
yond the $225,000,000 cut as was
recommended by the Treasury Depart
ment after careful consideration of
the whole subject.
Would Eliminate Nuisance" Tax.
Senator Simmons said at the White
House that he would like to see the
inheritance tax and the so-called nui-
sance taxes repealed entirely. and that
he approves of the elimination of the
automobile tax, as was provided by
the House in its bill. and that he
would like to see the tax on corpora
tons reduced even lower than IL per
cent. the amount provided for in the
House bill. He said that he has rea.
son to know that there is a strong
sentiment in the Senate for the
adjustment of the nuisance and in
heritance taxes and that there Is not
the slightest doubt about the Senate
voting in favor of the repeal of the
automobile tax.
The minority leader Of the Senate
finance committee was most emphatic
in his declaration for a $500, 900, 900

ARMY GAME PLANS
Academy Will Make No Fur
Their Effort for 1928 Contest,
Admiral Mutton Says.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, December H.
The second bombshell in the Army
Navy foot ball controversy was
thrown today when Rear Admiral
Louis M. Mutton, superintendent of
the Naval Academy, announced that
the Naval Academy contemplates TAX
ing no further steps toward an Army
Navy game for 1928
Admiral Mutton in his statement eX-
planned that this year was the Nays
year to write the contract covering
the game, and included in 1t was the
three-year eligibility rule, in accord
ance with the policy of the superin'
tendent of the Naval Academy as
announced in June, 1927. The au-
thorities of the Military Academy,
feeling that they could not accept the
eligibility condition, returned the con
tract unsigned and the Navy authori.
ties will take no steps for plans for
a 1928 foot ball game.
Admiral Nulton's statement today
came as the answer to Maj. Gen. r..
b. Winans, superintendent of the Mil
itary Academy at West Point, who
fatty declared yesterday that Army
authorities would not adopt the three
year eligibility rule for membership on
athletic teams.
