new LEGATION
First Building of Its Kind
Is Erected In AL
bania

TIRANA, Albania, July 2.-tR)-
The first building ever erected by
the United States fos the specific
purposes of a legation or embassy
is nearing completion here. Similar
structures have been planned in
other capitals but the T1rana lega-
ton will be occupied ahead Of any
of these. 1t will be formally dedi-
Gated by King zog in September.
The building, which Is a finer ed
ifice than King zog's palace, was
designed and built largely by
Charles c. Hart of Minneapolis,
formerly a newspaper correspon-
dent in Washington and now Amer
lean minister to this new kingdom.
It commands a superb view Of
snow-clad mountains towering over
this capital to the east, and affords
a glimpse of the mountains of
Montenegro far away to the north.
When the structure was first rec
commended by Mr.. Hart he was told
by the state department that for
reasons of economy he must seek
quarters in n Of the private resi-
denceS Of this city. But the minis
ter replied that none Of the exist
ing buildings was worthy of the dig
nifty of having the Stars and Stripes
flown over it. He insisted upon a
new structures and finally obtained
a grant Of 100000.
King Zog helped him get the site
for $1,000. Because of the growth
Of the city and the accompanying
real estate boom, the land has al
ready risen to a value of SOS. 900.
Then the diplomat gave his per-
sOnal attention to the design and
by this watchfulness saved thou
sands OF dollars in construction
costs. One OF his practical
methods Of saving was by having
the major engineering work done BY
senior students Of the American
Albanian Industrial school, an In
stitution supported by the American
Junior Red Cross.
The building is fitted with mod
ern American improvements, in
GLIDING central heating, electric
light and ice-making plants; water
filters, mo5quito-proof windows and
wireless apparatus. It Is the envy
OF other foreign legations in Alba
MIA, which at present are housed
only in primitive, dilapidated native
buildings Of wood or mortar.

Ocie Nix. %, Bowie county farmer,
in the shadow of the electric chair.
So reused was this community
when young Nix confessed to the
poison murder plot which resulted
in the agonizing death Of his pretty
17-year-old wife, Vinitia, the mother
of his five-month-old son, that,
when a lynching was threatened,
he was whisked away to another
part Of the state. His whereabouts
will remain undisclosed until he
is brought to trial on a charge Of
first degree murder.
Family Troubles"
After a four-hour grilling Nix
confessed to the murder. He had
grown tired of his wife of a little

death, he said. Three weeks pre-
viously he had taken out S1,400 in
surance on her life.
In his confession NIX SAID ne de-
termined to poison his wife when d
neighbor told him how she had used
strychnine to kill rats. He told of
going to town shortly afterwards to
purchase two hamburgers and a bot

A few days later the young wife
complained of feeling bad. She
asked her husband for medicine. Nix
said he obtained some empty cap

Early Drive Gives Franklin
Prize Upset Over De PAW

An upset the state football fans
are trying to figure out is the rs
defeat of De Paw by Franklin Sat-
urday. Early season scores would
indicate the Tigers about forty
points stronger. De Paw having
krounced Earlham, who in turn
bumped Franklin twenty points.
But injuries make or break teams,
and De Paw. presenting a badly
crippled team, did not have the de-
Tense TO stop an early drive by the
Grizzlies" Surface ran the ball
over the goal line and then booted
the extra point that ultimately
meant victory.
After that Franklin went on the
defensive and Virt's splendid punt
snS aided them. De Pauw couldn't
muster up any more than one
touchdown late in the game and
even that didn't do much good. Ho-
gan did some splendid ball toting TO
carry 1t over the linz. but the boot
for the extra point fell short.
Manchester and Earlham staged
a great battle for three periods, but
the Dunkards broke the scorelesS
deadlock when Chapman plunged
over the line and kicked the extra
point to give Manchester a TO win.
Rose Poly scored her third
straight victory after string Of
sixteen losses by defeating Indiana
Central, 1876. The first half. a de-
fensive one, saw numerous fumbles
marring scoring chances. Then

in nice style. Much better indeed
than many had expected. Potsy
Clark's team met an up-and-at-'em
New York university eleven and the
1875 defeat is certainly nothing to
be ashamed of by the Bulldogs.
Dave Myers, the fashy Negro
quarterback, led an attack by the
Violets that netted six points in the
first quarter. Butler, fighting des-
perately, STAYED off any further
scoring during the first half. May
be the Bulldogs should have stopped
that 75-yard dash through them by
Follet in the third quarter, that
boosted the Violet score to 12, but
they didn't. However, they did open
up with an offense, and a great
passing attack staged by Cavosie
and Royse led to a touchdown. To
say the least New York university
knew they had a ball game.

one in her path to a 1929 national
championship. Carnegie Tech, the

the Smoky City. A crowd of $4,000

The spectators saw Rocl1ne on the
side lines in his wheel chair, but
most OF all they saw a superior
Notre Dame team battling against
stubborn Skibo team that yielded
nothing. The Irish were forced to
fight to the last ditch for the lone

looked to be the best back field he
had seen in the Big Ten for many
moons. The touchdown that Har-
meson didn't score himself he made
possible with a beautiful pass to
Mackle that caught the Maroons fiat
footed. The pass was a reverse toss

BY DICK MILLER

Indiana football is in the national
spotlight today. Two Hoosier teams,
we are proud to add, will be reck-
oned with before the national and
western conference championships
are awarded for the season. Last
Saturday Purdue won her second
Big Ten game by a decisive 800
count over an old rival and domi-
nator, Chicago. Indiana university
upset the conference dope bucket
with a great game at Columbus,
when she played the vaunted and
indicated Ohio State eleven to a
scoreleSs tie. Butler made a favor
able impression on the eastern sea-
board when she lost to the strong
New York university team by only
a narrow 1876 margin.

Ramblers battered at the Tartans'
line until it was fourth down and
one yard to go. Joe Savoldi was
called and planted the ball over the
line and then Carideo dropped

Indiana, that had taken beat
ing at the hands of Ohio uni

and was beaten by Chicago and Col

They scored eight first downs to

Thomas j. Hickey, president Of
of the American Association, today
made an absolute denial of a state
ment attributed to him and pub
hshed in certain newspapers (not
The Times) crediting him with
comment on huge financial losses in
the American Association as result
of poor attendance this past season.
Hickey's denial came in a tele-
gram to Norman A. Perry, owner OF
the indianapolis Association club.
The statement further credited
Hickey with approving radical cut
in PLAYERS salaries throughout the
