MEMPHIS TO GET BIG
 FRO FOOTBALL PLANT

MEMPHIS, Feb. 6. - Memphis, which hasn't been considered much of a football town, has become the pro gridiron capital of the south.
 Out of touch with major col lege football because no large uni versailles are nearby, Memphians didn't have much of an opportunity to go goofy over the grdiron sport until Clarence Saunders, chain store prince, took liking to the sport.
 He organized a pro team thae defeated Green Bays national champions and Memphians took to the game so well that Saunders has decided to build a stadium to seat 6o,C00 The plant will be ready nexN fall.
 Starting off with few stars, in- cluding Bettencourt, of St. Mary's, Moore of Loyola, Applewhite of Mis- scuri, the Memphis Tigers walloped several outfits and then took on

small, somewhat dingy house ir
 which she lived Indeed, the crowd
 had become so great now that overflowing the corner it's outer edge reached almost to her door,
 way.
 She gained the stoop, and stood
 for moment looking around her. There was noise, confusion, the
 chatter of a multitude of tongues.
 She heard the clang of an ambu lance or police wagon around the corner. She hurriedly opened the door and let herself in.
 The house was in darkness. She passed along the hall, opened a door and, switching on the light, entered a modestly furnished bed room Her temples were throb- ping. Her hat felt like a band .of tight-drawn steel. She almost tore it from her head. Her mind was in riot This thing had shak- en her She drew her hands across her eyes, fighting for composure.
 Yes, now she was quite all right again. She pulled out a bureau drawer and, opening her bag, took out the automatic. The brown pa- per wrapper fell to the floor. She noticed that the elastic band had gone. It had probably rubbed against the automatic while she was running.
 She tucked the automatic away under a pile of lingerie in the draw CT, closed the drawer, and picked up the brown paper wrapper. It became unfolded as she lifted it. There was nothing inside.
 She knitted her brows in pug zled way. Had the photograph slipped out when Shive Frank had dropped the wrapper on the side walk? That could hardly be. She looked hastily in her bag. Yes, here it was!
 The Big Shotl She looked at it curiously. It had obviously been a snapshot of a group, but now both ends were cut off, and only enc face and figure remained A very clear and distinct photograph for a snapshot, she thought

 So Saunders hired Ken Strong Of New York University, Douglas Wykoff of Georgia Tech, Shelton Of Oklahoma, Wilson of Louisiana and 15 others, all good. Then he booked Green Bay, and Memphis routed the Packers, 20 to 6. He liked the way Cal Hubbard played tackle for Green Bay and bought him.
 Then he brought the Bears back to Memphis and the Tigers plas- tered them, 16 to 6.

4 "SQUEALER'S' END

In a horror stricken gasp, Enid Howard caught her breath. Then she started to run toward the cor ner, where she had seen the man fall on the sidewalk before the storm of machine gun bullets that poured from a big sedan that had quickly disappeared.
 Quick as gas Enid. Second ave- nue had, as though by magic, sup piled a small crowd in a twink ling. One glance at the still form confirmed Enid's suspicions--it was Shive Frank.
 Dead? Was Shive Frank dead? How did she know? Perhaps he was only wounded and unconscious. What were they saying?
 Three or four men were bending over the prone figure on the side walk. She was being jostled, pressed closer, by the newcomers to the scene. Everybody was talking mor- bidly, excitedly, historically, some

in awe-struck tones:
 Who did it? How did t happen? Took him for a ride, eh? !. Is he alive? I seen de car dat done it God rest his soul! Some nifty job, I'll tell de world! D
 One of the men got up from the sidewalk and brushed his knees nervously. He delivered his verdict with twisted smile.
 "Croaked? Sure, he's croakedl They splashed him plenty. He's sieve, see-just a sieve!" He laughed raucously.
 Don't nobody know who he is?" walled a woman's voice.
 Half a dozen voices answered Tt once; one rose above the others:
 "I'll say l know him. It's Shive Frank out on his last long vacation from the Big House-that's who he isl"
 Both the mans words and voice jangled-callously, horribly out of tune Perhaps it wasn't intention al. Perhaps it was only nerves. Enid shivered, and began to edge her way back out of the crowd
 Here was the patrolman on post, breathless from his run of possibly a block away. Pretty soon there would be a car from district de- tective headquarters. Questions There wasn't anything she could tell that would be of any immedi- ate value. Shive Frank had al- ready been identified.
 She did not want to be questioned mot tonight, anyhow The girl who had been with Shive Frank just before he was shot! The re- porters would make lot of that Iyeadlines! Would the story of the photograph be of any value to the police? The police might think so, anyway. They would certainly ask her to go over to the station house. They would want to see the photograph. It was in her bag. So was an automatic. Suppose they saw that tool Under the circum- stances they would be suspicious at once.
 No, decidedly not tonight Before she said anything she would see Phi Martin. If he thought it ne- cessary, that it had any bearing on Shive Franks murder, he could tell the story of the photograph to the police.

And then suddenly she stared more closely at the photograph, stared at it for long time with widened eyes. There was noise outside, the police were dispersing the crowd inside the room there was no sound save a low, broken cry that was like a sob.
 'The Big Shot the Big Shot the Big Shot D The words were repeating them selves over and over, racing like some ghastly refrain through her brain.

 And standing there in front oi the bureau, she saw herself in the mirror. No, noteherself. It was someone she had never seen before Strange dark eyes that were full oi pain and terror burned back at hel cut of a bloodless, ashen face, g face that was like a ghosts.
 The photograph fluttered to the bureau top. She shut her eye: and swayed a little.

Pawtucket Gains 20
 Per Cent in Ten Years

Providence, R. l., April A (UP)- Pawtucket, k. l., one of New Eng lands leading industrial cities, has gained approximately 20 per cent in population during the past decade, according to figures made public to- day by Edmund A. Turelovc, chief census supervisor for Providence and Pawtucket.
 In 1920, Pawtucket's population was 64,24S, while the 1850 popula- ton, with five districts yet to be heard from, totals 76,02S.
 At the same time, Truclove an nounced that during the l0-year per iod, Providence appeared to have gained only about per cent in pop ulation. This was explained by the fact that within the city proper there is virtually no more room for habita- tion and many newcomers are estab- fishing their homes outside the city limits.

JOHNSON URGES
 STUDY 0F TREATY
Outlines Points He Believes Ii
 Should Fulfill

Washington, April A PNCareful examination of the London naval treaty was demanded today by Sen- ator Johnson, of California, ranking republican on the foreign relations committee and one of the key men in the approaching senate debate.
 Withholding judgment on the pact, Senator Johnson outlined six points on which he said he would ask that the agreement square be- fore he approves it.
 He indicated he would wait to listen to the proposed hearings on the pact.
 Studying Treaty
 T am studying the treaty" he said today in statement, and am having it studied to ascertain whether:
 First, under it our navy is adc- quate for our national defense and the protection of our commerce.
 Second, whether under it, there is a limitation among the nations party to it of navy building.
 Third, whether there is a reduc- tion in our naval armament and that of other nations.
 Fourth, whether there is any real economy or saving to our people un- der it.
 Fifth, whether, as promised our navy is granted parity With that of Great Britain.
 Contingent On Nations
 Sixth, whether the treaty makes our future contingent wholly upon another nations action; and if so, whether this makes for our future tranquility and security or the re- verse
 These arc some of the queries occurring from a very casual read ing of the treaty. I take it most of us in the senate, like myself, are desirous of ascertaining everything that may be learned, and then de- termining the course that may be best for the nations future"

A buoyant fea- turc was Singer Sewing Machine, a high priced and coms sratively in- active issue, which shot up nearly 20 points in few odd lot sales.
 Utilities encountered considerable realizing during the morning, but were well supported. Electric Bond and Share sold off more than q point, then rallied. American Gas and Electric lost 3 points before meeting support. The United Gas 1s- sues, American Superpower and United Light A were steady to firm.
 Oils Make Slight Gains
 The oils generally continued up- ward, although gains were moder- ate. Gulf, Vacuum, Standard of Ohio and Kentucky, Continental of Maine and Cities Service were well bought, the last named crossing A to new high for the year in large turn over. Cosden, however, was under pressure for time.

Grandchildren Of Historic Tree
 to Be Sent East

Seattle, Wash, April 4 PN-- Destined to replace the famous Washington elm in Cambridge, Mass, which died several years ago, two grandchildren" of the vener- able tree got their start in the world here yesterday.
 Two twigs, rooted in boxes sus- pended in the branches of the only surviving descendant of the Cam bridge tree, were cut loose and transplanted in the University of Washington botanical gardens. The tree on the Washington campus grew from twig cut from the original Washington elm and brought west in 1900.
 Other scions of the tree under which George Washington took command of the continental army on July 8, 1775, have died, and layering branches of the tree here was decided upon in March, 1929, to perpetuate the parent
 The twigs were found to be firm ly rooted and ready to start an in dependent life. Ludwig Metzger, Washington gardener and botanist, said the young trees would be ready for shipment to Cambridge ill d couple of months.

London, April 24 LP-lt was re- ported from Darlington that the huge British dirigible R-l00 was damaged while being brought out of her shed today, one of her starboard fins catching against tho side of the shed and buckling slightly.
 It was stated that the authorities were considering whether she should be taken back to her shed.
 The R-1o0, which is scheduled to make flight to Canada next month, was taken from her shed this morn ing to make a test flight preliminary to her Canadian voyage. Plans to make a flight today were abandon cd.
 The air ministry confirmed the news fram Darlington that the R-10O had suffered slight damage. An official statement said the airship was being transferred to the mooring mast under good conditions when the handling party started her out at 1:So p. m. Before the ship was thoroughly clear, a. cross wind, one of the always present dangers to such airships when being taken out of hangar, sprang up and caused the outside edge of the starboard elevator to scrape against the side of the shed.
 Subsequent examination showed that the damage was slight but the airship will be housed again in order to carry out repairs as quickly as possible.
 It was stated that. there was no reason to think that plans for the flight to Canada next month would be intcrfercd with.
