 The United States has been granted control of the seals by Great Britain. Japan and Russia because the breeding grounds are part of Alaska.

Successor to Doum e rgue Will Be Chosen at
 Session Tn May
FIVE MEN ARE OUT
 IN OPEN FOR HONOR
Boosters of Candidates Ad- dressing Members of
 Two Houses
By T. T. Topping

PARIS, Feb. 24.-- Parliamentary lobbies are buzzing with talk about the coming presidential election, the twelfth in the history of this Third Republic of France.
 The successor to President Gas ton Doumergue will be chosen in May by a joint session at Yer sailles of the senate and the cham Der of deputies. Consequently it is to members of the two houses of parliament that boosters of the various candidates are addressing their pleas.
 There are five men openly in the field and another ,Aristide Briand Frances apostle of peace" in the near background.
 Usually the president of the sen- ate is considered as having the strongest claim to the honor and hence Paul Doumer, incumbent of the post, is much discussed
 Politics to the Front
 But party politics has invaded the situation this year. Doumer is backed by the rightists and the moderate centerists. The left groups are rallying behind Fernand Bouis- son, president of the chamber of deputies.
 There is open advocacy also of three senators, Henri Cheron, AL bert Lebrun and Albert Sarraut.
 French presidents are chosen for term of seven years, but only five of them have served out their full terms. These were Jules Grevy, 1879-1886; Emile Loubet, 1899-1906; Armand Falheres, 1906-1913; Ray mond Poincare, 1913-1920; and Cas- ton Doumergue, 1924-1931.
 Death cut short two terms. Sadi Carnot was assassinated at Lyons

Joke King Serious for Once;
 Wiu Be Married

LONDON, Feb. 24.-William Hor- ace de We're Cole, king of England's practical jokers, is going to be married, seriously.
 Cole is 48, if it isn't a hoax, and his fiancee, Miss Mavis Winifred Mary Wright, is 22.
 A well-set-up man with gray hair and a mustache, Cole looks not unlike Prime Minister Mac- Donald, and once gave "red hot tory speech" to group of work men who mistook him for the lead- CT of the labor party.
 But that was only one of the minor incidents among his 95 prac- tical jokes.
 His most spectacular hoax was to review the royal navy as a prince of Abyssinia, when he was accorded all the salutes laid down

the decision of Judge Clark argued the Eighteenth Amendment was invalid claiming the amendment granted new powers to the Fed- eral Government over the people and such an amendment must be submitted direct to the people.
 Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes withdrew from the case and took no part because he had filed brief in previous Pro- hibition case which he contended disqualified him.
 Decision Is Made
 The decision today was deliv- cred by Associate Justice Owen J. Roberts before a crowded court- room.
 Justice Roberts said Congress had been granted complete juris- diction to decide the mode of rati- fication of amendments and had a right to refer amendments to State Legislatures.
 Justice Roberts said the attorneys upholding the decision of Judge Clark said the amendment took the power from the people, which no other amendment did. He said that in the opinion of the Supreme Court, the Thirteenth. Fourteenth and Nineteenth Amendments did the same. He said National Pro- hibition in cases in the 1920 Court had been heard and the validity of the Amendment had been up- held and the Court now reiterated it's position.
 The decision sustaining the val- idity of the Eighteenth Amendment today was unanimous.

Gate Expected to Pass $780,.
600 Mark; $4,000 Tickets
Already Sold
DIFFERENCES STILL STAND
Engagement Last Year Was
Fought Under Artificial
Conditions

New York, Dec. 9.-(R-This 32nd
football clash between Army and
Navy on Saturday ought to be bit
more like the 80 they played before
the famous break Of 1927.
Their charity engagement here a
year ago was fought under somewhat
artificial conditions and at least a
part Of the glamor that used to sur
round Army-Navy duels was lacking.
It should be different this time. The
two service academies by no means
have patched up their differences
over eligibility standards and their
coming battle was arranged solely in
the interests Of charity yet it should
be much like the spectacular games
OF other years.
Last year the game was arranged
late in the season as sort Of after
thought but this time the rival
coaches have known since early Octo-
Der q game would be played. That
gave each chance to point" for the
other and there has been strong evi-
dence Navy, at least, has been doing
just that.
Army, on the other hand. played
its best football against Notre Dame
Nov. % and there appears to be some
doubt whether the Cadets again can
rise to such heights.
So far $4,000 tickets for the clash
have been sold with cash In hand
amounting to about $4,000. II the
remaining 10000 tickets, now on pub
lie sale, are disposed Of the gate"
will pass the $400,00 mark.

Chicago, Dec. o. @- Burleigh

world series, may be wearing Chi
cago Cub uniform next season, and
Hack Wilson, dethroned home run
king Of the major leagues, today
appeared certain of becoming men,
Der of the world champion st. Louis
Cardinals.
The trade was big possibility
Wednesday as the National and
American Leagues went into the Sec
ord day of their annual meetings. It
was reliably reported last night the
Cubs had just about decided to make
a cash deal with Brooklyn, when the
Cardinals came up with three-way
proposition, offering either Grimes,
Ernie Orsatti or George Watkins,
outfielders, for Wilson and cash in
varying amounts. Manager Rogers
Hornsby and President William L..
Veeck of the Cubs, finally decided to
make no decision on the Brooklyn or
Cardinal proposals until today.
Hornsby was said to favor the Grimes
deal. although either of the young
outfielders, would be welcome.
While the Cubs appeared to be un-
snarling their player deal tangles, the
Cleveland Indians were still having
trouble. The Indians. want Ralph
Kress of the st. Louis Browns, and
are willing to give Eddie Morgan, a
$50 hitter, but rather Indifferent
fielding first baseman, for him. The
Browns, however, do not care SO much
about Morgan, but would be glad to
have Earl Averill, the Indians star
outfielder with whom Cleveland Is
not willing to part.
A trade which would send outfield-
er Sammy Byrd of the New York
Yankees, to the Browns in exchange
for pitcher George Blaeholder, also
was discussed.
The radio broadcasting problem
was left as is, when it was learned
one club already had signed contracts
for 1892. The American League
adopted a resolution under which no
club may sign radio contracts for
1888 until the question is threshed
out year hence.
The managerial lineup was COM
pleted yesterday when Stanley
(Bucky) Harris signed q one-year
contract to continue as pilot of the
Detroit Tigers. Jewell Ems, former
manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates,
was engaged as coach by Detroit.
Vice presidents Of both leagues
were reelected.
Pitcher Roy Sherid was declared in
eligible by Commissioner Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, for violation Of
rules, leaving the New York Yankees
with the problem Of finding another
player to send to st. Paul of the
American Association, to complete a
deal for the services Of Jack Saltz-
gaver, star Saint second baseman.
The two leagues were to wind up
their own business Wednesday, and
will meet jointly tomorrow.
