ATTERBURY CLAIMS
RAIL FIGHT IN EAST
Charges Combination Against
Pennsylvania in Anti
Trust Hearing.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Atterbury of the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad testified to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission today that
ACQUISITION by the Pennsylvania, OF
important holdings of stock OF the
Wabash and Lehigh Valley systems was
a result of sharp railroad contest
in Eastern territory.
The Pennsylvania Is charged WIN
violating antitrust laws in its pur-
chase of the stock.
Atterbury said the New York Cen
trail. Pennsylvania Baltimore 81 ONO
and Nickel Plate interests had adopted
q plan for consolidating Eastern rail-
roads.
"The Nickel Plate was already taking
over the Pere Marquette d Erie ana
had the Chesapeake 81 ONO; tne BAL
timore g. Ohio people wanted the Read
ing line and the wabash; the New York
Central desired either the Lackawanna
or the Lehigh Valley" he said. "The
Pennsylvania system needed direct
line from ST. Louis to Chicago, better
facilities around the south side OF Lake
Erie. and was also DESTROYS OF better
connection between Buffalo and New
York City.
'During our discussions it became
evident that neither the Nickel Plate
to facilitate our system to the better
ment of the line around Lake Erie.
Also the Nickel Plate crowd and the
Baltimore & Ohio began buying into
the Wheeling g. Lake Erie and the
Western Maryland, while the Lehigh
Valley stock was being purchased by
the New York Central. Clearly, COM
bination against the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn was being brought about.
I'VE found Mr.. Loree getting hold
Of Lehigh Valley stock and OF Wabash
stock and he was interested in the idea
of creating fifth major railroad sys-
tenn in the Eastern territory.
Personally have not been in sym
,oathy with the idea of five systems, but
it was obviously to the interest OF the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad that II such
fifty system were to be built up, that 1t
should be under the leadership OF the
Delaware & Hudson, Mr.. Loree's COM
pany because the Delaware & Hudson
is a friendly system. 1t would be better
for us to have a friendly interest In
charge of the Wabash 81 Lehigh Valley
rather than the unfriendly interest like
that of the Van Sweringen roads or
the Baltimore & Ohio"

Philippine Islands plebiscite on inde-
pendence in five years was approved
today by the Senate Territories COM
mittee.
The vote was 8 to 4. with two Sena-

Mexico, Republicans, and Pittman, Ne
vada: Harrison, Mississippi; Broussard,
Louisiana; Hayden, Arizona; Tydings,
Maryland, and Halves, Missouri, Demo-
Gratis.
Those voting against were Chairman

SEAT SALE TURMOIL

Spectators, Revenuers, Would-Be
Buyers Mixed in Purple
Irish Ticket Rush.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 20-Ticket
spectators, internal revenue men and
would-be purchasers of tickets for the
Notre Dame Northwestern game Satur-
day were going round and round today.
The spectators were trying to md
tickets to meet an almost unprecedented
demand, while the still hopeful fans
were hunting for spectators, or scalp
ers, who had tickets.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue de-
cided that as long as the tickets were
worth from $25 to 376 over the list
price, Uncle Sam should have his
share Of the money. Accordingly, q
squad Of agents was turned loose 10 de-
tect persons who had tickets to sell at
a large profit. To aid themselves In
their search for scalpers, the agents
were looking for persons who were
looking for Scalpers.
Yesterdays high was $3.50 for four
good seats, paid by visitor from Texas.
Few other sales were reported, however,
largely because there just aren't any
more tickets to be had. The whole
48000-odd have been distributed, and as
they were sold In small blocks, specu-
lators have been able to locate few.

- CHOoLBOY foot bah activity IN
this section is about to wind up
for the season with q big -FOUR
ish. Except for lone game, that
between Tach and Gonzaga, December s.,
all gridiron business will be over for the
scholastics by next Thursday night,
Thanksgiving.
There will be plenty doing, though,
for the next week despite that the pub
lie high school championship series Is
over. Nine games are scheduled Tor
the period, with six Of them slated this
week end and the other three Thanks-
tomorrow win be ny an odds the
most important day from . standpoint
Of games on District gridirons. In fact:
II win be just about the biggest day OF
the schccIboy campaign here 50 far Is
ed is concerned. -Four are on the books.
Three Of the four encounters listed
are of exceptional interest. These VIII
bring together Central and Washing
ton-Lee High Of Ballston, Va, in the
annual &C" Club battle in the Central
Stadium, Gonzaga and Western at the
Gonzaga Stadium and Eastern and ST.
Johns at the Eastern Stadium. All
will start at $3.50 O'Clock.
st. Adams will entertain Christ
Church School of Richmond, Va, on
the Cathedral School gridiron in one OF
the big games Of the year for both
schools.
CENTRAL viii enter the Washington
~ Lee game the underdog. The Blue,
handicapped by injuries to some OF
its best players, has had season that
could by no stretch Of the imagination
be called successful. In Washington
Lee 1t will be meeting one of the best
scholastic elevens in the Old Dominion,
a team which tied for the State title in
Glass B last season and seems likely
again to land around the top this
season.
Central. ending its season, will make
a desperate fight in an effort to salvage
some laurels against the Virginians. A
victory over Washington-Lee would
atone for much that has not been 80
bright in the Blues work for the sea-
son. Central viii have an additional
incentive In that the Blue has never
won a &c" Club contest. In 1927, when
the game was first staged, Central High
of Charlotte, N. c., was the victor;
Princeton Prep won in 1928 and Dewitt
triumphed last season.
Regardless of the outcome the CO.
Club game is certain TO attract q good
crowd It has always been colorful
game and promises to again prove so
tomorrow.
