SECRET PROTOCOL
TO PACT RUMORED
Bolivia Would Be Denied
Egress to Ocean, Capital
Diplomatic Circles Hear.

By the Associated Press.
A secret protocol to the Tacna-
Arica treaty, now in process Of ratifi-
cation by the governments of Chile
and Peru, that would preclude Bo-
livia's obtaining egress to the ocean,
was rumored today in diplomatic cir
cles.
The rumor, reported to proceed from
a seriously reliable source" created
immediate agitation.
The alleged protocol was said to be a
duplicate of a deleted clause in the
Tacna- AFRICA agreement that would
have forbidden either country to cede
any part Of the departments of Tacna
and africa or to grant transportation
or right Of way privileges. The clause
was understood to have been removed
from the agreement after the Bolivian
Minister, Eduardo Diez de Medina, held
a series of conferences with Secretary
Stimson.
Ambassador Velarde of Peru was on
his way to Europe and Ambassador
Davila of Chile had been invited to be
the guest of David kaufman, Ameri-
can Minister to Bolivia, at Towanda,
Pa, today Senor Don Oscar Blanco
Wei, first secretary of the Chilean en-
bassy, also Is to be the guest OF Kauf-
man, and their visit at this time is
taken by some to have a particular
significance.

HELEN WILLS WINS
TO ENTER FINALS
American Star Starts Poorly, but
Receivers to Defeat
Miss Goldsack..
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WIMBLEDON, England, July A.
Miss Helen Wills strobe into the final
round in defense of her British tennis
championship today by defeating Miss
Elsie Goldsack of England by scores Of
60, 60, in the first of the women's
singles semi-finals to be played.
The American girl star, champion of
three nations, encountered little real op-
position after the first three games.
The English girl gave the crowds a
thrill at the start by taking the first
game from the champion, running the
second to 40-love before the American
recovered, and winning the third game
to lead at 81.
At this point Miss Wills speeded up
her game, and soon had all the better
of the driving duels. She took the fourth
game easily, and also captured the next
four rapidly for the set.
Miss Wills raced through the second
set at love in less than 10 minutes Miss
GoldSack made many good returns, but
steady stream of forehand and back
hand drives and volleys, all to the cor
ners of the court, overwhelmed her. The
final, featuring Miss Wills and the win
ner of the second Semi-final between
Miss Helen Jacobs, Americas second
ranking star, and Miss Joan Ridley,
English player. is scheduled to take
place Saturday.
Americas champion doubles team,
consisting of John Hennessey and
George Lott, was beaten in the semi
finals Of the British championships by
j. c. Gregory and I. G. Collins, crack
English Davis Cup pair, by scores Of
A-6. rs. 81. 4-6. Us.

OF the Brinn & Jenson Wholesale Paper
and Notions Co. late yesterday.
The dead are Myron Jensen, 18, son
Of j. P. Jensen, president of the COM
pany, and Harry Jones, vice president
Of the concern.
Jones and Jensen were trapped on
the top floor Of the building along with
three other workers, who escaped. One
of the three, william Foil, 10, was
burned slightly before firemen could
reach him.
The bodies Of Jensen and Jones were
found on the second floor to which
they had fallen through the wreckase
They we're burned beyond recognition
For an hour the fire threatened
nearby buildings in the wholesale dis
trict before brought under control by
practically the entire Omaha Fire De-
partment. Skyrockets and set pieces
shot in all directions while police strug-
gled to hold back a crowd of several
thousand.
The loss to the building and contents
was estimated at $l75,00o by J. P.
Jensen, the president.
Cause of the explosion has not been
definitely determined, but Lothardt
Jensen, another son, advanced the be-
lief that dynamite, mistaken for powder
and placed in an aerial bomb, was ex-
ploded. A quantity of the explosive
was stored on the fourth floor, he said.
A dozen f1remen suffered minor
injuries.

'S1-A-M|LE'-S
FINES ARE IMPOSED
Only 80 Confront SchuIdt,
but He Holds Experiment
Success.

A novel method of computing fines
for violations of the speed law was
evolved this morning by Judge Gus
A. Schuldt. presiding in Trafic Court,
who decreed that each offender must
pay "a dollar mile" for every mile per
hour he exceeded the speed limit.
Only 80 persons appeared before the
magistrate this morning, however, and
not all of those were charged with
speeding, but Judge Schuldt considers
his experiment in assessing fines a sue
cess in the cases where it was tried.
1t was pointed out that by penalizing
offenders in proportion to the speed at
which they were travelling the purpose
of the regulation, which is primarily to
prevent accidents, Is given effect.
Many Forfeit Collateral.
Twenty-Five speeders were arrested
during the past 24-hour period, but all
of these did not appear in court to
answer the charges. Many attempted
to evade trial by forfeiting collateral,
but the judge ordered attachments
issued and that they be brought before
him. OF the 258 persons arrested on
traffic charges, the great majority chose
to forfeit collateral, only 30 OF them
answering to their names In court this
morning.
In these arrests, the special motor
cycle squad established by police In their
drive s-ainst violators Of the traffic reg
ulations, played a prominent part, 10
cases being credited to its members. OF
these, four were for speeding. The
thirteenth precinct led the other divi-
sionS of the trafic enforcement body in
their apprehension of those driving at
an excessive rate, with seven arrests.
Only two accidents in which persons
were injured were reported by police
last night.
Woman Seriously Hurt.
Mrs. Nellie M. Prentice, 40 years old,
of 2202 @ street, is in a serious condi-
ton at Casualty Hospital as the result
of injuries sustained when run down
at Eighth street and Massachusetts, ave-

Sport Slants
BY J. Alan GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

%WO Of the biggest and most
surprising individual declines
in base ball this season in
i volved the work of Leon
(GooSe) Goslin, the Ameri-
can League batting king Of 1928. and
Henry Louis Gehrig, the leagues
most valuable player in 1927 and the
slugger picked to carry on the long
range bombardment where Babe
Ruth left of.
Goslin led the list with the Juicy
mark of .379 last year, with Gehrig
only step behind at 374, yet each
has had struggle to keep within
gunshot of 800 this year in an era
of swat when even that mark no
longer possesses much significance.
Gehrig managed to hit fair share
of homers, around IS, but Ruth, even
with the handicap Of illness and a
slow start, had no trouble outdis-
tancing his young teammate.
Gehrig, after giving Ruth great
chase for home-run honors In 1927,
was understood to have signed new
three-year contract with the Yankees
calling for $40 900 in 1928, SIS, 900 in
1929 and $4,000 in 1880. He looked
to be well worth the price, but it will
Offset this seasons slump and earn
another dividend.
IT SEEMS only question of time
i before tennis follows the lead Of
golf and conducts open cham
pionshipS, where the best player in
the game may be determined, re-
CARELESS of how he makes his living.
Heretofore the tennis pro has been
largely in the background, merely
an instructor, while the amateur
talent monopolized the competitive
spotlight. There was not enough evil
dence few years ago to arouse an
argument over the amateur cham
pion's superiority, but the develop
ment of such professional stars as
Karel Kozeluh. the CzechoSlovakian
wizard; such Americans as Vincent
Richards and Howard Kinsey has
altered the situation The playing
pro" is now q part of the game.
Kozeluh, the worlds professional
champion, has a mastery Of tech
n1que and Shot-making that even a
Cochet or Lacoste at his best now
would find difficult to overcome.
Richards is better now than when he
left amateur ranks, and he was in
the worlds first five" three years
ago. The tennis produced in the
Kozeluh-R Richards final at Forest
Hills in the national professional
tournament appeared superior to
anything shown by the amateur field
that yielded to the veteran Tilden a
few weeks before.
An open tennis championship, how
ever radical 1t seems to the old guard
of Newport, Germantown and Forest
Hills, might solve a lot of the prob
lens that have beset amateur tennis
and end a lot of the hypocrisy that
has grown up in recent years.

There are all sorts, Of permuta-
tons and combinations in the foot
ball attack advocated by Fat"
Spears, NJ. D., coach of the Mime
sofa Gophers. But the big idea is
punch. DR.. Spears evidently be-
neves that the shortest distance
from the point where his Gophers
get the ball to the goal-line is a
straight line.
Note, as proof, this play. Bail
comes back to No. back, who spins
and goes through all the motions OF
passing 1t to No. 4, as No. 4 rushes
past to his rear. No. then COM
pletes his turn and Jams his way
into the short side of the lire, lea
by No. 2. No 8 meantime jumps
into the breach to help his end box
the opposing left tackle out Of the
course of the play.
All spinner plays are alike in
principle. A back swings past the
culprit with the ball, fakes taking
It from him and is on on what looks
like an end run. Instead, the orig
inal player with the ball secretly
holds onto it and strikes for another
sector in the defensive line. In
short, the idea Is to hit the defense
where they are not expecting the
blow.
