HOOVER TO WATCH
NAN-G. j. CLASH
President Takes HaIf-HoIi-
day to Go to Annapolis
for Foot Ball Game.

President Hoover is going to declare
half-holiday for himself tomorrow
afternoon and go to Annapolis to wit
ness the foot ball game between the
Midshipmen and Georgetown Univer-
Sity.
This will be the first time Mr.. Hoover
has attended foot ball game since be-
coming President, and he is looking
forward TO the contest with greatest
pleasure. Inasmuch as he will sit in
box on the Navy side of the field.
1t is natural to assume that he will be
there in the capacity Of a Navy rooter.
Family" TO Go Along.
The President will be accompanied
by Mrs. Hoover and his official White
House family. The latter will be George
Akerson, Lawrence Richey and Walter
Newton, his three secretaries, Mrs.
Richey and Mrs. Newton; Capt. Allen
Buchanan and Col. Campbell Hodges,
naval and military aides, respectively,
and Lieut.. Comdr. Joel T. Boone, the
Presidents physician, and the custo-
mary number of newspaper correspon-
dents and photographers.
The foot ball party will leave the
White House after an early luncheon
and make the journey to Annapolis in
automobiles. 1t is the Presidents in
tention to return Immediately after the
game.
President Hoover has completed the
address he will deliver on Monday night
in the Washington Auditorium, featur-
ing the ceremonies commemorating the
anniversary of the signing of the
Armistice. The speech now is in the
hands of the printer and is expected
to be ready for advance distribution
either late today or tomorrow. 1t is
understood that the President has de-
voted a large part of this address to
further appeal for world peace and it
is believed that his utterance on this
occasion will be especially significant
since 1t will have a direct bearing on
the aims of this Government in its
participation IN the coming naval dis
armament conference in London.
Will Honor Unknown.
The only other arrangement made
by the President for the observation
of Armistice day on Monday is a visit
to Arlington National Cemetery, where
he will place a wreath upon the tomb
of the Unknown Soldier. It is under
stood that Mrs Hoover will accompany
him and place single flower upon the
tomb.
The President and Mrs. Hoover have
made no plans for Sunday. They eX-
pect to remain in Washington and to
go for motor ride in the afternoon,
following attendance at the Quaker
Meeting House at Thirteenth and Irving
streets.

GAMBLING PENALTY
URGED BY GLASS
Would Make 1t Mandatory for
Federal Reserve to AS
Sert Authority.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated PreSSs
Amendment of the Federal Reserve
act to make it mandatory upon the
Federal Reserve Board to assert its au-
rhoiity and ''to prevent by penalization
sucli disasters in stock gambling opera
items as have recently disgraced the
country" was advocated today by Sen
ator Glass of Virginia, former Dem
ocratic Secretary of the Treasury.
Senator Glass last Spring called upon
the Federal Reserve Board to dismiss
Charles e. Mitchell, president of the
National City Bank of New York, as a
member of the board of directors of
the New York Federal Reserve Bank on
the ground that he had defled the
board in offering call money to the
market at critical time in the market
operations.
In a letter today to the meeting of
the association Of member banks of the
Boston Federal Reserve district, the
Senator wrote:
IF there are men in the financial
world. as think undoubtedly there are,
who imagine themselves superior to the
existing governmental banking system,
and who are totally Indifferent to the
real commercial and industrial interests
CT the Nation, the sooner such men are
restrained and severely disciplined by
adequate punishment, the better It will
be for the country.
"In my view it is the imperative obli-
cation of the administrators of the Fed
eral Reserve banking system to assert
to the limit the powers which the laws
confer and, in this way, to assert the
dignity of a Federal Reserve banking
system which was intended to be SUI
preme within its sphere"
Speaking in his letter of things which
need attention" the Virginian recon-
mended notifications of the national
bank act and the Federal Reserve act
so as to make it more mandatory, If
possible, upon administrators of the
banking laws to prevent by penalization
such disasters in stock gambling opera
tions as have recently disgraced the
country"
Glass also announced in his letter he
intended to press at the regular session
for adoption of his bill to give to mem
ber banks of the Federal Reserve System
larger participation in the net earn
ings of the system. He said this was
justified by conditions and was neces-
sary to prevent further losses of men,
Der banks from the system. Glass, as
member of the House, was credited
with the authorship of the Federal re-
serve act.
The letter was written to Gov. w. p.
@. Harding of the Boston Federal Re-
serve Bank to be read today to the
meeting of the member banks after
| Senator Glass was forced to cancel an
engagement to speak before the meeting
Unless the Federal Reserve system is
made more attractive to member banks
| the Senator wrote, sit will soon be ques-
ton as to whether the Federal Reserve
system will predominant in the Ameri-
can banking community or yield to the
| dangerous and irresponsible holding
companies, now already reaching out
| over the country.

First. steps pointing toward such a
development were taken today by Will
liam E. Leahy, counsel for the young
husband of the nurse who was stran-
gled to death September IL by pajama
belt knotted around her throat.
Leahy, confined to his home by a
cold, dispatched an associate, James F.
Reilly, to confer first with United States
Attorney Leo A. Rover regarding the
status Of indictments handed down by
the so-called Mcpherson grand jury,
and then with John E. Laskey. special
assistant to the Attorney General, in
charge of the prosecution of McPher-
son.
New Proceedings Expected.
Leahy said he wished first to ascer-
tain on what grounds Rover acted in
deciding to resubmit to the grand jury
testimony in three important cases other
than the Mcpherson case. In taking
this action Rover announced yesterday
that the new celebrated Park Lane
strangling case is in the hands of
LaSkey and added any move in that case
must be decided by the special Govern
ment prosecutor. Rover acted only IN
cases in which abatement pleas had
been filed by the defense.
Reilly conferred with Rover shortly
before noon and planned to consult
with LaSkey this afternoon.
After Reilly'S conference with the
district attorney, Leahy said Rover in
tended to reSubnit to the grand Jury

picion. This practice will be continued,
DR.. Doran explained, but as a matter of
unusual "arm" of enforcement would
not be pushed further than its pres
ent use.
The authority to use "wire tapping
to obtain evidence against prohibition
law violators Is found In a decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, which in decision in a liquor
case out of Seattle, Wash, voted to
that it was legal.

peal to me as the thing to do"
One liquor case has already been

all cases in which the indictments
were contested. The Mcpherson in
dictment, Rover explained, was in the
hands OF Laskey, and the suggestion was
made that Reilly discuss that case with
the special prosecutor.
Leahy had asked his associate to es-

regarded the indictments handed down
by the Mcpherson grand jury as void"
or "voldable." He explained that If they
are void, no defense plea is necessary to
invalidate them. If they are voidable,
plea in abatement would be the legal
recourse of the defense.
Rover Gives His Views.
Rover said yesterday he did not ad-
NIT all indictments of the questioned
grand jury automatically were In
validated by the discovery that an un-
qualified juror sat in the proceedings,
but said he thought it best not to op-
pose the abatement pleas entered in
three cases. The unusual tangle was
created by the fact that Mrs. Dolores
Marmion, member of the jury which
indicted Mcpherson and large number
of other persons, was receiving a pen
sion from the Government. The courts
have held in similar instances that acts

WANTED BY JONES
West Point Mentor, However,

w VEST POINT, N. Y, November
n I 5.-Capt. Lawrence M. (Biff)
wv Jones, head coach of Army
foot ball. hopes that Army
Navy athletic relations will
be resumed with the proviso that 1t be
under the Armys own code of eligi-
bility.
In a radio address over the Columbia
broadcasting system chain last night
Capt. Jones urged that the Army-Navy
contests be resumed with any cadet
or any midshipman not deficient in
his studies" eligible to participate.
The Army-Navy break of 1928 came
when the Navy insisted that Army
adopt the three-year eligibility rule.
The Army was equally determined To
preserve its own eligibility code, which
does not bar from competition cadets
who have played in college games be-
fore coming to West Point.
They (Army and Navy should en-
gage again in athleticism," said Capt.
Jones, who quits his post as coach this
year. 1T is but natural that they set
examples for the other youth of the
land. Army wants to renew athletic
relations with the Navy. Army wants
other great foot ball contests with the
Navy, contests that will go down in
the history of foot ball. But they
should be games between the two Gov
eminent service schools, a game in
which any cadet or midshipmen who is
not deficient in his studies can partici-
pate. Both should be striving for one
thing, to make better officers for their
country"

DEFEAT OF TIGERS
DAzES FOLLOWERS
Excess of Vets May Hurt
PrinCeton-Booth Great
Drawing Card.
BY WALTER TRUMBULL.

TOOT ball fans still are bit dazed
- over some of Saturdays results
The defeat of Princeton by Chi
i cago certainly was a surprise to
most OF us, 1t looks as If Prince
ton had too many veterans on the squad
You can't get senior steamed UP as
you can a sophomore. He has found
out that foot ball is only game.
Harvard and the Army will carry the
banner of the East against the Middle
West on Saturday The Harvard
Michigan contest looked like thriller
when 1t was scheduled. Both institu-
tons had great freshman teams and
promised to be strong this year. The
trouble is that each has found other
teams which were stronger, but Har-
wards first trip into conference territory
Is bound to attract attention. And the
Crimson looked powerful against Flor
ida. Those tackles began to charge.
Yale May Cheer.
Yale men have something for which
to cheer. Stevens, Comerford and Walsh
have done great job. Line, ends and
backs, the Blue is powerful team. Ed
win Booth had some long runs, but Albie
Booth does his long runs in less time.
Moreover, he is drawing better than Ed
win Booth ever did If Albie hadn't
been playing In New Haven this season
the gate receipts would have been far
less. Take the Dartmouth game. There
probably were 10000 persons in that
vast crowd who were drawn by Yale's
Little Boy Blue. At 81 a head, that
means $4,000. Figure that on the sea-
sons games and then notify the Car
negie Foundation. Babe Ruth doesn't
draw that much.
Edwin Booth played Hamlet, but Albie
Booth plays the ghost He did 1t so well
on Saturday that Yale entered into the
spirit Of the thing by making one phan-
tom pass. This play never has been a
consistent gamer. Booth is one of the
sweetest kickerS in the game. The power
he gets behind his punts Is remarkable.
Marsters Still Great.
But, in looking at Booth, don't blind
yourself to Marsters. There is a great
back. It always Is satisfying in foot ball
to see man such as Marsters go back
to his own goal line and throw a pass
which settles in the hands OF receiver
SO yards away, or man such as LON
of California who stands behind his own
goal line and boots the ball to midfleld.
1t is the player who comes through In
the pinch that warns the heart.
