ALBANY, N. Y, December 6.-Two
important. though wholly unofficial.
tlulies confront Gov. Alfred E. Smith
before he hands over the gubernator1al
reins to Gov.-elect Franklin D. Roose-
velt. His fifty-fifth birthday, which falls
on December 80, just the day before his
final day as governor, must be tittingly
celebrated, and his famous ZOO at the
executive mansion must be demobiliZed.
In preparation for the first of these
occasions, the governor has reserved a
suite at the De Witt Clinton Hotel here
for the 30th, where he plans to cele-
brate with his entire family.
Already the ranks of the back yard
menagerie are sadly depleted. Beasts
ranging in size from monkey to elk have
been or are about to be given away.
But there are exceptions Five or six
of his dogs the governor refuses to part
with. Joie, one of a trio of monkeys;
the parrots, the love birds. and the
canaries will be kept The dogs he will
send to kennel for the present. George
F. Getz, Chicago capitalist, is the new
master of the remaining monkeys.
Representative Parker Corning of
Albany, was presented with magnifi-
cent 35-pound turkey. sent to Gov
Smith for his Christmas dinner by
friends in Texas. The governor par

Mississippi Fear Subsidies

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The
Mississippi River, south of Cairo, Ill,
slowly is rising, and probably will
just about reach the flood stage.
However, it is not expected to ex-
coed it, and so conditions are "a
long way from serious trouble" said
DR.. H. G. Frankenfield, in charge
of the Weather Bureaus flood work,
today.
THE whole thing is dependent
upon rainfall" he told a represen-
tative of Science Service today. cat
present no rain is in sight in the
Mississippi area, but light Show
ers and SO all the water doubtless
will be carried off before it can
do damage. Only if we have wide
spread and heavy rainfall is the
situation likely to become serious.
ut. is the White River, in Ar
kansas, that we are watching with
apprehension. The water is rising
and the levees are weak. They were
largely broken last year, and, though
they have been rebuilt, they have
not yet had time to settle and so
are not as strong as we might wish.
The same is true along parts of the

ATLANTA, Ga, April 27-Fore-
casts of additional rains in flood
swept areas of Alabama, Georgia
and Florida threatened today to
increase the peril of high waters
and delay efforts of farmers to re-
plant ruined crops in sections from
which the flood creSts have passed.
The death toll since last Monday,
when torrential rains sent rivers
over their banks, increased to seven
today. A Negro fireman was killed
when a freight train went through
a weakened trestle near Sylvester,
Ga.
Hundreds are believed suffering
from exposure and the refugee list
grew steadily, augmented by thou
sands of farmers and their families
from Alabama counties along the
path of flood waters of the Tombig-
bee River.
In northwest Florida, the State
board of health acted to prevent
epidemics. Between 5000 and 5000
refugees faced week of further
absence from their homes.
Flood waters receded in the
Georgia area, where highways were
out and rail communication poor.

GIRLS GARDEN
IS DEDICATED
TO MEMORIES
Charm of 100 Years Ago
to Be Restored at
Cabin Camp.

A Memory Garden" planted with
hundreds of old fashioned flowers
and perennials about a restored log
cabin originally erected in 1921, is
the dream of Indianapolis Girl
Scouts which they hope to realize
soon at Camp Dellwood, west of the
city near Clermont.
The log cabin already has been re-
built and restored to its charm of
over 100 years ago by Architect
Merritt Harrison for the Cornelia
Cole Fairbanks Chapter, D. A. R.
The chapter undertook the work
as a memorial to the late Miss
Eliza Browning, former assistant
city librarian, who before her death
had been interested in the project to
restore the cabin.
Now local Girl Scout officials plan
to transform the quarter acre of
land surrounding the cabin and in
closed by an old SNAKE" log fence
with the old fashioned flower
garden.
Landscape Architect L. v. Sheri-
dan has drawn plans for the garden.
Plants and shrubs provided by
those desiring to pay tribute to
dead or living friends will be per-
manently tagged with the names
Of those in whose tribute they were
given.
The cabin is to be used as the
camp hostess house. 1t will be for
mally dedicated June IA.

Rim BRINGS NEW DANGER TO AREAS SWEPT BY FLOODS
Indianapolis Boy to Inherit
Fortune From Stebfather
Paul Russell SCornS More
Schooling; Says He'll Buy
Home Here.

There is nothing like suspense, es-
pecially when waiting upon word
that might make a 17-year-old boy
wealthy and able to take care of a
woman and her family who nursed
him through life as her own son.
Paul Russell, II, Of 1920 E. Wash
ington St., as he is known in In
dianapolis, may inherit a fortune
from his stepfather, Col. Fred Stole,
who died in Fergus Falls, MINI. He
has never seen his father.
Recently Chief of Police Claude
M. Worley inserted an advertise
ment in the papers asking that Paul
come to him. He had received a
letter from Col. Stoltze's attorneys
naming Paul one Of the benef1-
Charles.
Mother Died at His Birth
PauIs mother died at his birth
at Kankakee, Ill. His father gave
him to Colonel Stoltze, a wealthy
retired farmer in Paris, Ill, who
had just married at that time.
Colonel Stoltze and his wife, nee
Myrtle Russell, were divorced. He
asked his wife's mother to take the
infant, not a year old, and keep
him. Later they moved here.
Paul does not know his real
fathers first name. His last was
Van Slette. The last time he and
the RusSells heard from him was
from Chicago five years ago.
Father Here Once
About fourteen years ago Van
Slette came to Indianapolis. He
was a barber by trade. Paul does
not remember him. The real foster
mother, now Mrs. julius Melten-
berger, lives in South Bend.

The game will witness an interest
ing battle between u passing combi-
nation on the one hand, and q broken
field, end-running charge on the 9TH
err, it is expected. A large part of
the Harlingen offensive thrust con-
sists Of a passing combination from
Steele to Murray, lengthy end who
is of the best in the Valley at
picking them out OF the air.
Charging Lines
Steele and Richey will bear the
brunt Of lire plunging for Harlingen,
with the elusive Schuepbach and the
fast Jarrett handling the broken
field running and end brushes.
San Benito has a triple threat mar
in Dodson, who passes, punts and
runs in first string class. and one
Of the prettiest broken field runners
the Valley has developed this season
in Quarterback Adamson. who is
back in the lineup.
Welch Is a fast man around the
end, and is also good on charging
the line, as he demonstrated in the
game against Mercedes last week.
Carter. the other back, Is also a good
mar with the ball around ends, or on
line thrusts off tackle.
Two charging lines will meet when
the G~reyhounds and the Cardinals
mix on the local field. Harrington
probably has the advantage in weight
in the line, due to two heavy ends,
who raise the average Of the line in
weight considerably.
Throng Expected
The two cities will practically
close shop on the afternoon of the
game, and on one side of the field
will be probably fifteen hundred
San Benito people, matched by about
as many Harlingen rooters on the
other side.
The outcome will have an impor-
tant bearing on the games among the
Valley big Four" that will follow.
as this is the first time any two of
the teams have met each other.

MANAGERS Are
PUT ON BENCH
IN Big LOOPS
Epidemic of Playing
Leaders Is Halted;
Hornsby Only One
In Sight Now
BY ALAN j. L

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-A9-If Rog-
ers Hornsby goes to the Chicago
Cubs, to concentrate upon second
basing and his habit Of rolling up
big batting averages, the major lea
que campaigns next spring may start
without a playing manager on any
field for first time I'm as many moons
IS can be recalled, off hand.
Even III the Rambling Raiah should
retain the helm at Boston or grasp
IL elsewhere the situation would be
in sharp contrast to that Of n few
years ago when a majority Of the
American league pilots were daily or
almost daily performers and about
half of the entire group of master
minds in active harness.
There was an epidemic OF playing
managers a few seasons ago, when
George Sisler, Eddie Collins, Bucky
Harris iris Speaker, Ty Cobb, Ray
Schalk, Dave Bancroft and Hornsby
took whirls at handling the mana
gerial reins here and there. So far as
results were concerned, Speaker,
Hornsby and Harris not only won
pennants but worlds championships.
Now, however, the magRates seem
to prefer to have the heavy thinking
done and strategy directed by mana
gers whose energies are concentrated
upon the bench or no farther afield
than the coaching lines.
Bucky Harris, who has shifted his
responsibility from Washington to
Detroit, still has some good playing
days before him but he has indicat-
cd he expects to see little, If any ac-
ton, especially with SO spry a second
baseman already OF hand as Gehrin-
ger. one Of the outstanding stars Of
the Tiger club.
Harris successor at the capital,
Walter Johnson, TANKS he may make
a return to the mound but this idea
is more than likely sentimental. old
Barney's pitching days are over, for
all practical purposes.
Roger P~eckinpaugh stays in uni
form at Cleveland but nc cannot be
considered a member Of the active
list. He doesn't need to attempt any
shortstopping with Joe Sewell
around.
There has been talk Of Iris Speak
CT returning to Boston TO manage
the Braves II Hornsby goes. but Iris,
too. has reached the stage where his
experience. not his playing ability,
is his main asset to a major league
CLUB.

LOUISVILLE. KY. Oct. 25.-lPl-
Babe" Ruth. king of swat, pinch hit
ting rs n stump speaker for Cover

here last night, along with John w.
Davis, received a lusty welcome from
the audience when he pleaded the
cause of the democratic nominee. but
the throng was no less uproarious a
few moments later when a flimsy
chair in which he was seated on the
rostrum creaked and then collapsed.
The Babe. ~intently listening to the
remarks of Mr.. Davis, discovered his
plight too late.
Newspaper men sitting at a table
beneath the rostrum scrambled in
every direction as the home run king
hurtled forward. but the player avert

lastly to a nearby railing.
Grinning sheepishly. Ruth righted
himself and arose as Mr. Davis and
others rushed to his side to ascer-
tain il he had been injured.

which he has adopted. finally brought
the audience to order and Mr.. Davis
resumed.
Ruth had previously compared the
political career of the democratic
nominee to that of a baseball player
