MUST BUY SILVER
Government Saved $685.
529 by Ruling in Suit In
voked byProduCers.

The Government was saved approxi-
nlately $6,5O00OO yesterday by deci-
sion of the District Court of Appeals
in sustaining the refusal of the District
Supreme Court to grant writ of man
damuS compelling Secretary OF the
Treasury Mellon and Robert j. Grant,
director of the mint, from buying
1859 ,730.13 ounces of silver bullion
at 81 an ounce from the American
Silver Producers Association, the Della
S. Consolidated Mines Co. and the Spar
Consolidated Mines Co. of Colorado.
The association and its co-plaintids
In seeking the writ had invoked the
Pittman act of April %, 1918, which
directed the Secretary of the Treasury
to melt or break up not in excess OF
350,000,000 silver dollars, authorized the
sale of this bullion at the rate OF s.
per ounce, and provided for the pur-
chase by the Secretary, through the
director of the mint, of an ounce OF
new domestic silver for every ounce OF
old silver coin Complaint was made to
the court by the three. plaintiffs that
the terms of the Pittman cat have not
been complied with and that the Gov
eminent has yet to buy 1889, 1908
ounces of silver.
Secretary Mellon in answer to the
suit was opposed to paying 81 an ounce
for silver when the market price as OF
September 80 was 55l2 cents an ounce.
To compel the Treasury to buy silver
now at 81 an ounce, United States At
torney Leo A. Rover argued in the
case, would be equivalent to making the
producers a gift of $685. 29.9l, repre-
senting the difference in the market
price.
Justice Van Orsdel of the appellate
court upheld the refusal of Justice
Stafford to issue the writ of mandamus
on the ground that the American Silver
Producers Association did not allege in
its petition that it had any silver to
sell, and therefore would not benefit.
There is nothing in the Pittman act,
the decision held, to compel the Gov
eminent to buy silver from the two
mine comuanies

NEW YORK, April "A portrait of
the Duchess Countess of Sutherland,
ascribed to Romney and sold to Law
renee P. Fisher of Detroit has been re-
turned to England because it was learned
the original was still in the possession
of the Duke of Sutherland.
The portrait was sold to the Detroit
automobile manufacturer by the How
ard Young Galleries of New York. An
nouncement of the sale in newspapers
brought letter from the Duke of
Sutherland saying the original was still
at his country home.
Mr.. Young, in Detroit, said he was
convinced that the painting sold by his
firm to Mr.. Fisher was not the original
listed in catalogues of the complete
works of George Romney.
He said his London agent obtained
the painting from the mother-in-law of
the duchess, and that It was sold to Mr..
Fisher as the original He then learned

heirs cannot recover damages against
his employer on the grounds that the

In denying the appeal, the chief JUS

the deceased was well aware and that
he entered into his duties with full
knowledge of them.
The workman and several others were
engaged In applying sheet metal to the

built their own scaffolds, the testimony
showed, and one of the bolts holding
the rope by which it was suspended
worked loose, causing the collapse of
the scaffold.

STAMFORD ELEVEN IS WEIGHTY TEAM
High School Is Underdog in Saturdays Football Game

The records of the New Britain and Stamford high school teams which meet at Memorial field, Will low Brook park, Saturday after noon. are practically equal Each has won four games. However. the fifth contest for New Britain was a tie and for Stamford 6 defeat.
 Stamford lost its first game Of the season to the Middletown. N. Y. high school team by B to score. Tn this contest four of Stamford's regulars were out of the lineup. Since that time a powerful machine like play has been developed and has swept through the Dickinson, N. J. High Alumni, Warren Harding high and Collegiate Preparatory school for victories. The defeat of Warren Harding was by a 26 to 6 score.
 Coach George M. Cassidy Of the New Britain team saw his rivals play Warren Harding last Saturday. by far the strongest outfit he has seen in high school circles this year. The backfield men are hard runners and they have developed a strong forward passing attack.
 Stamford Has Weight The principal hope of the New
 Britain followers is that it will be successful in holding the Stamford team to a low score. The Red and Gold defense will be depended upon as a strong factor in this hope. Ac- cording to Coach Cassidy, the Stam- ford team is much heavier than his eleven, He believes his team has the advantage of weight in some po- sitions, but as a whole the Stamford team has the advantage in this par ticular department, The Fairfield county aggregation has q backfield which is heavier than the average
 weight of the New Britain line. Ii
 this is the case the Red and Gold 1 team will play team which equals
 if in weight for the first time since | the Blues game.
 Coach Boyle of Stamford said to. | day that he has six of last years ] regular team left. This combina-
 ton includes his fullback and tive halfbacks. Bellos, the fashy quar- i terback, has been graduated.

Some Suggest Abandonment Of
 Intercollegiate Sport

New York, Oct. 29 (UP)--Radi- cal thoughts have been stirred on the campuses of important univer- sities of the east by the issuance of the Carnegie Foundations report of last week condemning the en- phasis, commercialization and gen. cral methods of intercollegiate foot ball.
 At Princeton stduents were found who even went so far as to discuss the possibility of a university in the future with no intercollegiate sports whatsoeyer-suggestions which 10 years ago would have constituted the rankest of heresy.
 At Columbia university the cor respondent found students unwill- : ing to say which sport was the more mportant-football with it's big business methods and tremen- dous income, or rowing. which Is a dead loss financially. They are in clned to put the two on par, at least, and there was a lurking sus- pic!on that the day might come when the crew would outrank the football squad in interest and es- teem. Some frankly said that foot ball was an alumni sport while crew belonged to the undergradu- ate.
 Football an Alumni Game
 At both universities there was this underlying tone found on every hand:
 Football has been fostered to its present position largely through the efforts of the alumni. They have had the money to pay for tickets and In cases where there have been abuses. to pay for players, for ath- letic scholarships and in genera act as angels" for the sport. The undergraduate student bodies take no responsibility for this commer. cialization. They lay the blame upor the alumni.
 But If the alumni want to spend their money for football" one stu dent at Columbia said. expressing an attitude which seemed typical then let's let the alumni do it. w will yell for the team and be glac , for its success-and then we vii take all the money made out o football and finance all other sports practically none of which are self supporting"
 Football Pays for All At Princeton every sport. includ | ing not only the major sports which are football, track, baseball / rowing basketball and hockey, bu r the minor sports down through la } crosse and squash, all are finance' : through the football receipts. Stu dents agreed that at least 55 pc |, cent of the student body took par 9 in one or more of these mino = sports.
