the contest suit appealed by the late
Royal r. Graham, defeated candi,
date for the juvenile post, the court
recommended that votes from pre-
cinct six, district J, be stricken from
the record.
Graham. n former county Judge,
was found dead in his home of as

test action was filed in April 1925.
Under the law, Lindsey has Is
days to ask for rehearing. After
this time, provided his application is

"The decision is perfectly amaz-

ii is perfectly amazing to me as I

man who admitted he was an agent
of the ku KluX Khan and on whose
testimony we were prepared to show
periury,' he continued.
Judge Moore of the district
court ruled the plaintiff had not
made ease. The effect of this
ruling was to make it unnecessary
for us to present a defense. The
result is that we have never had n
chance to offer our defense. 1t
certainly is an unusual thing 20

CONGRESS
HASH()(3E:
PROGRAM
Many Matters to Be
Acted Upon Before
Adjournment.
SIX WEEKS LEFT
Boulder Dam Regarded
As One of Major Bills
Before Body.
By PAUL r. MALLON
nited Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Pass-
ing the half way mark of the short
session and entering its final six
weeks, the Goth congress today en-
countered the usual jam of a closing
program. With tax reduction side
tracked, the Lausanne peace treaty
defeated, election contests under
way and half the necessary appro-
priation bills passed, the legislative
body turned to farm relief. navy
cruisers, the Mexican Nicaraguan
situation and the power projects at
Muscle Shoals and Boulder dam.
Thus far the prohibition issue has
been thrust forward only sporadi
cally during debate but it will be
advanced more prominently in the
days before March 4 when congress
expires.
AS the situation is today, there is
little possibility of an extra session
of congress. Following is an outline
of the status of remaining important
subjects.
Farm Relief

in both houses, having been favor
ably reported by the agricultural
committees. The farm bloc of the
house is seeking a rule to give it an
early vote there, while the senate
bloc is awaiting house developments.
1t has better chance to pass the
senate than the house, and may be
brought up there first although the
possibilities of it getting through
before March are not exceptionally
bright.
-. Navy Cruisers
The senate will pass this week the
naval appropriations bill in a form
to please the "big navy men" and
provide for immediate construction
of three additional cruisers The
"big navy proposal was defeated
in the house but is expected to be
passed next time after it passes the
senate.
Mexico Nicaragua
The Robinson resolution express
ing the sense Of the senate that the
administration should arbitrate its
oil land controversy with Mexico
will be brought up early this week
and is expected to be adopted with
out extensive debate. It's adher
ents had planned to force action on
it today, but other matters may ne
cessitate brief delay. Several res
olutions relating to the Nicaraguan
situation are to be called up in Q
few days.
Muscle Shoals
AS soon as the legislative situa-
ton permits. the Muscle Shoals bills
are to be brought up in the senate
and few speeches made before a
vote upon the proposed McNary mo-
ton to refer them all back to the
agriculture committee for further in
vestigation The motion is expect
ed to prevail. Hearings upon the
various measures will open before
the house military committee Tues
day.
Boulder Dam
Adherents of the johnson Swing
measure for construction of Colo

early action in the house. Action in
the senate awaits outcome of the

pitcher in the last twenty-five years

than three times. Only two have
done that-Grover Alexander and
Christy Mathewson.
For thirteen successive years,
from 1892 to 1905, Cy Young turned
in the unheard of performance of
winning twenty or more games each
year. During sixteen years of his
career he registered anywhere from
twenty to thirty-six victories sea-

On three occasions Cy Young let
down the opposition without a hit,
once in 1897, again in 1904 and last
ly in 1908. The 1904 feat was made
against the Philadelphia Athletics.
In this game not a player reached
first base.
All of which makes it appear as If
Cy Young was quite a pitcher.
