DEATH CLAIMS
CRIDRON STAR
OF OTHER DAYS
Eckersall Rated As Best
Player Ever To Per-
form in Midwest
BY BERT DEMBY
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

CHICAGO, Mar. 25. U.P)-Wal.
Ter Eckersall, the greatest football
general ever developed by mid
dlewestern team, has passed on.
A great athlete in his day. a
fighter on the track or on the base
ball field and without peer as a
football player, "Eckie'' died yes
ter-just as he wanted to die.
He died standing up. Doctors had
told him that he had "bum ticker
but he laughed at them and said
he would live to be 60 or better.
Death came while ne was trying
to stand up long enough to beat off
tine heart attack-as he had beaten
them off for three or four years.
He was as game as they come but
death moved him down at the age
of 49,
A man without ego, Eckersall
was the greatest of all middlewest
crn sports authorities. His one fault
was that he lived in the past. He
eouldn t see a modern achievement.
If some one made a 80 yard run
4 ioytpaii SaitC iC
referred to the fact that "we IL,
that's pretty good, but Willie Hes
ton (who played for Michigan 1902
% would have run their heads off
under the same circumstances.
Eckie didn I say "well, / ran 105
yards against Wisconsin when l
was playing in 1905.'' Or he didn't
say, 81 made good six drop kicks
against Nebraska in 1906" nor did
he point out that in the same year
his brain work was responsible for
Chicago beating the Great Miehi
gan team to 0 in what perhaps
was the greatest football upset in
all history.
In that game, Michigan worked
the bah to the Chicago one yard
line where the Maroons took il on
downs. Eckie dropped back 10 yards
behind his own goal line for punt.
The Wolverine line broke through
and smothered him. Obviously he
couldn't punt, so he dived through
the Michigan would-be tacklers and
over his own goal line to prevent
a safety.

manuscripts includes papers of nearly
all the Presidents and many statesmen
of the United States. The rare-book
collection contains about 10000 items,
including about $500 incunabula and
some 10000 early American pamphlets. y
The Vollbehr collection, Mr.. Collins
insists, represents the greatest oppor-
tunity Congress ever has had to increase
the value of the library at a compare:
he says, represents q cross section OF
the thought and culture Of the people
of that period, history Of the great
Renaissance, the period contemporary
eous with the discovery OF America and
with the beginning of the Reformation.
These books have valu not as museum
pieces alone, but to the historian, the
student, the scholar, the printer and
the bookbinder, and furnish material
which is not otherwise at hand for
historical, literary and technical re-
search work. ~
Great and Rare Variety.
"The collection contains not only
numerous examples from all the great
European cities of the Middle Ages
Antwerp, Augsburg, Barcelona, Basel,
Brussels, Cologne. Florence. Leipzig
London, Lyons, Mainz, Milan, Naples,
Nuremberg, Paris, Rome, StraSburg,
Seville, Vienna and Venice-but it also
numbers among its treasures books
printed at Avignon, the seat Of the
popeS in the fourteenth century and
the home of Patriarch; Alost, where the
first printing press in Belgium was set
up; BurgoS, the ancient Moorish city
where the remains of the Cid found
their final resting place: Rouen, where
Joan of Arc was burned at the stake,
and Swolle, where Thomas Kempis
lived and died.
I'm this remarkable collection one
naturally finds many works on relig ion,
such as miSsalS, breviaries and patris-
tic literature, exclusive of SIS Bibles,
but Dr. Vollbehr has brought together
an exceptionally we'll balanced library
of the fifteenth century containing
more than SO books on law, 159 on
medicine, "a on geography, % Orien-
Italia, 20 on the discovery of America
out of q known total of 80, books on
chess, cookery, history, matrimony,
philosophy, travel, temperance and
war. The collection contains a great
variety of languages, including 48
books in Spanish, 10 In Hebrew, So In
German dialects. 100 in Italian, II In
French, in Slavanic, l in Chinese and
8 in English"
In 1863, Mr.. Collins points out, a
Gutenberg Bible on parchment sold for
$500. The same book brought $1,182
in 1917, $16,190 in 1873, $4,000 in
1911 and $305, 900 in 1925. A CORE
spending rise in value, he believes, can
be expected in the future.

CAPITAL MEASURES
TO Be CALLED Up
Mcleod Obtains Agreement
for Action on Non-Con-
troversiaI Bills.
Acting Chairman Mcleod Of the

Acting Chairman Mcleod Of the
House District committee secured a
promise from House Leader Tilson late
yesterday that time will be given him
tomorrow to call up for action in the
House a number of District bills on
W y there is little or no controversy
a. HIGH can be passed quickly.
-. agreement covers bills on the
House calendar and not those on the
union calendar. This means bills which
do not involve any appropriation. This
agreement prevents consideration OF the
police and firemen'S pay-increaSe bill,
which is considered the most important
District measure awaiting action. House
Leader Tilson said yesterday that the
police and ffremen's pay bill viii be al
lowed to come up for consideration on
its merits when adequate time can be
allowed for debate. He has been advised
that there is considerable opposition.
Bills to Be Ready.
Representative Mcleod said that he
will have ready a list of IL District bills,
all of which he assured House Leader
Tilson can be passed within an hour
and a half.
1t was definitely decided at a con-
ference of the Republican steering COM
nittee and the Republican members
of the rules committee with House
Leader TilSon and Speaker Longworth
that tomorrow would not be designated
as a District day and that no contro-.
versial measures, such as the police and
firemen'S pay bill, would be allowed to
come UP for consideration. The prin-
cipal objection to a District day is
that the chairman of the House District
committee has control of the time and
can call up any pending District meas
ures in whatever order he chooses.
Wide Range to Debate.
The experience in the past has been
that the biggest part Of the day Is
taken up with general debate on wide
range of subjects, most Of which are
entirely unrelated to the District legis-
lation. In this way the District has
had credit for having days in the House
when as a matter of fact they were
not used on District bills and little leg
islation of Importance to the District
was transacted. a..
House Leader TilSon gave assurance
yesterday that time will be found toI
consideration of any meritorious Dis
trict measures on which the District
committee has reached an agreement, sc
that it will not be subject for lengthy
debate, and that all District measures
for which there is pressing need Will be
given oportpunity for prompt passage.

HEARING CONTINUED
ON CASSIDY MOTION
Action Of Justice Gordon Taken on
Request Of Assistant U. S.
Attorney Shea.

Justice Peyton Gordon yesterday
continued to later date hearing on
the motions Of George L. Cassidy,
called the man in the green hat" and
John T. Gately, said to be his father
in-law, for suppression of evidence
taken from them and from an auto
mobile of Cassidy at the time of their
arrest near the Senate Office Building
on charges of violating the national
prohibition act.
While the motion was in progress a
Snag was struck during the testimony
Of one of the prohibition agents on the
witness stand. He declared the arrest
was made on tip and admitted that
he did not know either Of the defend
ants by sight and did not know they
were engaged in the liquor business.
Gordon tntimated that he did not think
on the evidence presented that the
search and seizure could be Justified,
but at the teQueSt of Assistant United
States Attorney Walter M. Shea con-
tinucd the hearing.
Shea said he expected to show that
the agents were working on direct IN
formation, and that the search and
seizures were incident to the arrest,
which he declared was justified II the
agents believed a felony was being COM
nitted in their presence. Attorney
Myron G. Enrich appears for the de-
