Referring to his objection regarding
Hughes associations with large COR

been counsel in 81 cases before the
Supreme Court since his retirement
from public life, representing, largely,
corporations Of untold wealth."
He added:
Without charging Mr.. Hughes in

FOOL PROOF" PLANE
IS TESTED IN BERLIN
Craft Refuses to Tip Over or Go
Into Spin at Either Full or
Slow Speed.
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN, February 11.-A fool proof
plane which refuses to tip over or 90
into a tail spin was demonstrated be-
fore a large group of aeronautical ex-
pertS and newspaper men at the Tenn
pelhofer Airport yesterday.
The test was made by Herr Won Keep
pen, director Of the flying section of the
German Aeronautical Testing Institute.
Although Won Koeppen tried every
conceivable stunt, the machine refused
to tip over or tail spin either at full
speed or with the motor retarded. He
tipped the plane right and left, but the
machine always returned to horizontal
position.
The plane. which was developed by
the Focke-Wulf Co. andiS known as
''Habicht A-28," Is a regular f1ve-paS-
senger machine with q special wing
construction. It looks much like an
ordinary plane and the wing differences
are apparent only to experts.

That all who 50 desire will be heard. and

mas neen announced, including Pierre s.
Gu Pont and w. w. Atterbury.
Inc investigation will be incidental to
hearings on proposals for the repeal of
the eighteenth amendment. A subcon-
mlttee Is TO conduct hearings on meas
ureS to modify the anti-liquor laws.
Representative Schafer, Republican, Of
Wisconsin intends to demand an inyes-
tigation Of prohibition administration in
the district Of Chicago and In the State
OF washington. He expects to ask such
an inquiry of the judiciary committee
Thursday.
The Wisconsin wet says he is in pos
session OF information indicating the
existence Of liquor diversion ring in
Chicago" and that widespread con-
spiracy to. violate the prohibition laws
exists In Washington. Conditions in
tEat State have been the subject of an
exchange OF communications between
Senator Jones of Washington and Rep
resentat1ye La Guardia, who are promi-
nently Identified, respectively, with the
dry and wet forces.
Meanwhile, a resolution for a general
Senate investigation Of prohibition con-
oltlons rested in the judiciary commit
tee, to which it was referred yesterday
after its introduction by Senator
wheeler, Democrat, of Montana, who
voted dry In his home State a few years
ago.
The prospects for committee action
are indefinite, but Wheeler says he in
tends to get behind the measure and
demand consideration at an early time.
However, II the committee makes a IA
vorable report. 1t is highly improbable
tnat the Senate will take up the meas
ure until after the tariff bill Is out of
the way.
Authoritative Data Are Sought.
The Wheeler measure proposes that
the judiciary committee inquire into
the activities of the Bureau of Pro-
nloitlon In the Department of the
treasury and all matters in any wise
pertaining to the enforcement Of the
prohibition laws Of the United States
and to report to the Senate as soon as
practicable the results of its investiga-
ton, together with its recommended
tons, II any, for necessary legislation"
In its preamble 1t says that Congress
should have authoritative information
as to whether the complete breakdown
of the prohibition enforcement is due
to inefficiency, corruption or lack of
sympathy on the part of the majority
OF the people with the law before en-
acting other laws or appropriating huge
sums Of money for its enforcement"
A subcommittee OF the House ju-
dietary committee was called into Ses-
sion today by its chairman, Christie
pherson of South Dakota, to consider
the proposal of the Hoover Law En-
forcement Commission to broaden the
powers of United States commissioners,
so that they may try minor violations
Of the prohibition laws.

EULOGY TO ANDERSON.
Representative Griffin Terms Him "a
Myrtar To Suicide"

Representative Grimm, Democrat, of
New York, s0day delivered in the House
an eulogy on Harry A. Anderson, the
recent parrot fever victim as "a martyr
+. OF science and called attention to his
bill which ne reintroduced to award a
medal of honor and monetary award
70 Government employees for distin-
, Rdshed work in science. He has Of
Tered one amendment which would al

tention particularly to the achieve
nentS Of the Public Health Service and
recited the martyrology of that service,

name IS now added.
Representative Griffin said, in part
Yesterday there was inferred in Ar
-ington Cemetery the mortal remains OF
one who may be truly said to have
given his life for the benefit of hui
Tnanity. He made the supreme sacri-
! dce-not in the midst of stimulating
alarms of war, but in the silent labora-
Jory-with no hope Of praise or rewards
: other than the consoling consciousness
of toiling for his fellow men.
"Who was this man with the heart
Of the soldier, of the soul Of the martyr
His name is Harry Anderson. He was
a soldier, too, for he served in thu
Word War, from which he came un.
scathed, only to meet his end as 4
! humble laboratory assistant in the
! United States Public Health Service.
His task-the task in which he
died-was that of seeking the origin
and cure of the So-called parrot dis
ease (psittacoSis), which has recently
appeared and taken such toll of hu.
man life.
He passes on to join noble banC
whose lives were dedicated to the caust
of science. He leaves behind him &
bereaved wife and devoted son upoY
whom this casualty in the warfare q
science most heavily falls.
II hope it Is not presumtions to sa,
that they have the profound sympath.
Of all true-hearted men and can fee
that his noble example entities him t.
the profound respect in which we shall
ever hold his memory. Requiescat Il

New York, Nov. 2l R-Whcn slueger meets slugger on4 Of two things can happen--a waltz" or a bang battle in which each box CT gambles on landing a decisive blow.
 The fans were hopeful when Jim mic McLarnin and Billy Petrolle meet for 10 rounds at Madison Square Garden tonight of seein; both boys forget about defense and concentrate on attack.
 McLarnin has been virtually In- beatable since he accepted d Iacins two years ago from Sammy MandelI, then lightweight champion. He has Uaded through all sorts of opposi- ton since then and in his last New York appearance knocked out Al Singer, successor 10 Mandell, in three rounds in an overweight fight. The smiling 1rishman rules 3 10 ] tavorite over Petrolle. The latter, however. is mark for no light weight or junior lightweight, in the business. He whipped Tony Can zoner in Chicago before Tony knocked out Singer for the light weight title, and lost close deci- sion to Jackie Kid Berg, the Eng fish whirlwind, in great fight.

.CANAD|ENS PILE
 UP A BIG SCORE
Montreal Hockey Team Is After
 Some Of BOStOn'S Records

New York. Nov. 9 R}-The Mon treal Canadiens now appear to be out after some of Boston's great string of National Hockey league scoring records.
 The flying F'rcncnmon broke loose last night for the second time III three games and piled up a score of to l in their first clash of the year with their Montreal rivals, the Ma rooms. With Howie Morenz, hook ey's speed king. leading a well-co- ordinated passing attack. the Cana diens banged so many goals past Goalie Flat Walsh that he finally was removed in favor of the rookie, Dave Kerr. The habtants now have scored fl goals in three games to lead the league.
 Meanwhile fans in other National league cities are beginning to won- der what has become of the open, scoring game that last years changes in the rules were intended to produce. In New York, the A lIlNI lCdlIo pldN tu tlltII NHll q SCOl less tie in five games and their sec- ond of the year with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The one point gained from the tie enabled the Leafs to remain at the top of the standing. They have six points to five for the Americans and Ottawa.
 The same Boston team that set all the scoring marks last year could not get q single counter past Chuck Gardner, Chicagos star goalie, in l rough and tumble encounter, and the BlackhaWks pulled out a 1 to 0 victory. Mush March scored the tally when Captain Lionel Hitchman of the Bruins was in the penalty box. Ottawa gave the Detroit Fa,- cons their first defeat Of the year by the same score as Joe Lamb, tail Senator center. broke through alone in the first two minutes of play and drove his own rebound past Dolly Dolson, Detroit goalie, who was fiat on the ice attempting to clear the puck.

GAMES TOMORROW
 BEST 0F SEASON
Feature Contests Are Scheduled
 All Over Country

New York. Nov. T (UP)-Tomor- row is the last big football day Of the year, and even though only some 100 games are offered where 200 were offered before, the lineup is a worthy one.
 Heading the list is the Notre Dame Northwestern affair out in Eyanston-a game that is likely to produce the winner of the 1880 mythical national championship. This game, because of the great rec ords compiled by the opposing elev- ems, is the headline act of the day, but will be closely pushed by such traditional games as Harvard v5. Yale, Missouri vs. Kansas, Chicago vs. Michigan, Purdue vs. Indiana, Ohio State vs. Illinois, Stanford vs. California, Wisconsin vs. Minnesota, and Iowa vs. Nebraska.
 The Harvard Yale contest is the standout of the traditional group. These two members of the once proud Big Three will be meeting for the 49th time, and with each pass ing year the fight has grown more heated. Yale will enter the game q decided favorite but it's always rough weather when these old riv- als get together.
 The Michigan Chicago game is the only traditional contest of the day which will have any bearing on Con- ference standings. Michigan must whip Chicago to preserve it's tie with Northwestern for the Big Ten title.
 The cast, except for the game at New Haven, is rather colorless. N. Y. |. meets Rutgers. Navy engages Maryland, and Fordkam takes on Buckncll.
 Down South there is not one i'm portant game scheduled. Wander bilt meets Alabama Poly (Auburn) in the only tilt worth mentioning
 The far west, were it not for the California Stamford game, would be just as bad for outside of the meet ing of these two rivals, there is noth- ing more exciting than Montana vs. Idaho and Oregon State Vs. Califor- mia.
 The middle west program is a strong one. for in addition to the traditional games mentioned. Detroit and Michigan State are booked and should produce some first class foot ball.

League Standing

After tonight, every team in the Industrial Basketball League will have made it's start. The four re- naining teams yet to see action, are scheduled to play their first games. This will be the second round Of play in the circuit. Tuesday night, the opening night of play six teams started off leaving four of the 10 entered in the league, to pry off tho lid tonight.
 The first contest of the night to- night, between Fafnirs and P. & F. Corbin. is regarded as the feature battle by many who follow indus trial league play. These two have been contenders for the pennant every season and this year will be no exception. The two quintets are reported to be stronger this year than ever before and both are out after the scalp of the Corbin Screw quintet.
 Of almost as great interest is the second clash of the night. that be- tween the Russwin and Landers
  ed by the veteran Johnny Sacks while Landers will be under the per sonal supervision of Charlie Cook, rated as one of the best basketball performers ever developed in this city.
 In the third battle of the night, the Gascos will attempt to throw off the jinX that followed them all last season, that of losing each game by one or two points in the last minute of play. This condition arose right a the start of the season when tho Gascos were nosed out by the Stan- ley Works Tuesday night in tho final minute of the game.
 Followers of each team will be on hand tonight 10 watch the games and q large crowd is expected out. The first game will go on promptly at 7:30 o'clock
