ton to the Supreme Court of Judge

Standing by President Hoover's choice
for the high tribunal, Senator Watson
of Indiana, the Republican leader, in
sisted after a White House conference
today that Parker would be confirmed,
despite the vote Of 10 to 6 against him
in the judiciary committee.

he knew there was no question but
that Parker would face the issue in the
contest being made against his con-
flrmation.
Returning to the Capitol. Senator
Watson prepared for a decision on the
Parker nomination on the floor.
Any expectation that President Hoo
yer would withdraw the nomination or
that Judge Parker would ask for the
recall of his name had vanished.
Facing revolt in their own ranks
against the nominee, administration
Republican leaders were counting. on
sufficient Democratic votes to give them
the margin for confirmation.
A majority Of the Democrats on the
judiciary committee yesterday voted
against Parker.
Only one point remained to be settled
today before the contest in the Senate
whether Parker Is to ask for a hearing
on the protest against himself.
Members of the judiciary committee,
who voted 10 to against calling him
before the committee, have indicated
that If Parker requests hearing it will
be granted. That would necessitate re-
committing the nomination to commit
tee again.

HONOLULU, T. H, April 22.-Colonel
Granville Sewer Of the United States
Army yesterday filed an amendment Pc
tition in the CIRCUIT Court for an In
junction to restrain Sheriff Patrick
Gleason from performing an autopsy
upon the body Of the colonelB wife,
Marion, who died In August, 1928.
Sewers petition charged that Ralph
Shainwald, brother of Mrs. Sewer, was
of unsound mind in demanding the
autopsy and obsessed with an insane
belief that Mrs. Sewer died of poison.
Sewer contended that his wife's death
was due to natural causes, as shown by
the attending physicians certificate
that demise was caused by acute cardiac
dilation. Sewer also pointed out that
an autopsy in April of last year de-
Veloped nothing suspicious.
An estate of $750,000 left by Mrs.
Sewer to her husband has not yet been
settled owing to demands Of Shainwald
for further investigation into the wo-
mans death.

Charles E. st. John, astronomer at the
Mount Wilson Observatory here, mas
announced that exhaustive experiments

there Is no ether drift. Such finding
Is further support of the Einstein
theory, DR.. st. John reported.
DR.. st. John, speaking last night be-
fore scientists at the California Instr

collaboration of DR.. Walter S. Adams
and DR.. Francis G.. Pease, also of the
observatory, he had completed 10000
separate tests of the speed of light,
using rays travelling in all directions,
and found no difference Of velocity in
any case.
The result of these tests, the scien-
fist declared, disproved the conclusion
drawn by DR.. D. G. Miller Of the Case
school Of Applied Science, Cleveland,
Ohio, that there is relative motion
between the earth and other celestial
bodies and the ether that fills space.

pertinent, DR.. st. John said, struck at

Maryland U.-NaDy Grid
Game in 1880 Unlikely

ANNAPOLIS, January 14-Comdr.
Jonas H. Ingram, director Of ath-
letics at the Naval Academy. said
that Navy cannot disrupt its foot
ball schedule by breaking any of its
contracts existing for the 1880
season.
This was the result of a meeting
here between Comdr. Ingram and
H. C. Byrd, director of athletics at
the University of Maryland, which
was called in an effort to iron out
the conflict in schedules, as made
evident with the announcement of
the Navy 1890 list.
On the Navy program Maryland
was listed for a contest with the
Middies on November /. According
to Maryland'S schedule, Virginia was
carded for a Southern Conference
battle on that date. West Virginia
Wesleyan was booked on the Navy
card for November %, the date
Byrd claims was agreed upon with
Maryland.
Comdr. Ingram stated that It
would be UP to the Maryland off,
Gals to shift its schedule to satisfy
Virginia II the battle with the Mid
dies Is to be played this year.
Maryland officials also have stated
that it would be impossible to play
Navy in 1890 other than on Novem-
Der %, so grid relations between the
two doubtless will have to be post
poned until 1881. Maryland and
Navy had made three-year agree
ment, with one of the contests to
be staged in Baltimore.

PURDUE AND |LL|N|
SHARE COURT LEAD
Northwestern Is Upset by
Observation-Disclosures
Beaten at Home.
BY WILLIAM WEEKES,


- HICAGO, January 14.-Purdue
and Illinois today shared the
~ leadership in the Western Con-
ference basket ball champion
ship race, while Michigan, co-holder of
the 1929 title, was another notch farther
down the list.
Purdue won its second straight con-
ference game last night at the expense
Of the hitherto undefeated Northwest
ern team, 80 to %, while Michigan suf-
fered a second staggering blow In three
nights when Illinois invaded Ann Arbor
for a 24-to-1s triumph over the Wolv-
crimes. The victory was Illinois second
in a row.
The "high-low" combination of tower
ing Stretch Murphy and stubby
Johnny Wooden that led Purdue to vic
tory over Michigan Saturday night
wrecked Northwestern last night.
Murphy batted in four field goals and
dropped in four free throws, while
Wooden drilled through the wildcat de-
tense for six baskets and added free
throw Northwestern put up a hard
fight in the first half, but Purdue led
by 19 to IL. In the final session the
BoilermakerS ran wild, and but for
missed short shots would have built up
an even more imposing margin.
Illinois Battles Michigan.
Illinois loafing offense and powerful
defense was more than Michigan could
figure out. The Wolverines were held
to four field goals, two each by Trus-
kowski and Chapman, while the Illini
sneaked through for nine. Ernie Ramp
scored three from the field for Illinois,
while Harper and Capt. Doug Mills, who
played his first game of the season, &C.
counted for two each. The count was
11-all at the half and Michigan tied it
UP at 1915 early In the second period
before sagging.
Two games remain on the weeks
schedule. Illinois will place its unde-
feated slate on the block by invading
Wisconsin Saturday night. while North
western will go to Indiana the same
night. The Badgers came to life Satur-
day night and defeated Ohio State, 80
to IS, as compared to Illinois 19-to-15
victory over the Buckeyes in the OPEN
ing game of the season. Northwestern
has victories over Wisconsin and Mime
sofa and its defeat by Purdue, while In
diana won its only start. defeating Chi
cago, SO to "a, Saturday night.
