MINERS MADE POOR
 GUESS AT CLD MINE BUT ORE |S FOUND

NORTHPORT, Wash, April 3, B-A bad guess made the Van Stone mine, about 24 miles from here on Onion creek, look like lost hope when a group of Kel- log, Idaho, men worked the pro- perty on lease a few years ago. They sank a 500-foot tunnel, which was abandoned when no ore was found, reports the Den yer Mining Record.
 Today the owners, Charles and Ernest Lotz, Marry Maylor and MT. Van Stone, all of Northport, have a carload of high-grade ore ready for the Smelter. It was taken from an old tunnel, run in the opposite direction from that of the Kellog miners, and was found only a few feet from the original portal. The vein is lead and zinc, about eight feet wide.

SACRAMENTO, April 3, lP) H. August Vollmer, nationally known criminologist and former Berke- ley police chief, who is now en- gagged in special work in the East, agreed to return to Cali fornia to direct the fight for abolition of capital punishment.
 T will be glad to do everything in my power to help abolish the gallows," Vollmer telegraphed. My police experience convinces me that the death penalty has a brutalizing effect on the whole community and exaggerates crime problems rather than acting as deterrent"

Five weeks to the day after the

posal Of the Governors crime COM
mission to create state depart
ment of public safety put in its ap-
pearance in the form of a bill in
troduced in the senate Thursday.
offered so late that its chances
at passage have been jeopardized,
the bill would remove from control
of the secretary Of state, the state
police and state bureau of criminal
identification and investigation, con-
solidating them under the public
safety department.
The latter department would be
managed by a state board Of safety
Of four members to be appointed by

their duties. The board would ap-
point a director of public safety

Named by Safety Director

police would be named by the safety
director with board approval. Game
Wardens, oil inspectors, and arson
inspectors would be ex-offic1o state
police. The change would be eff
fective upon proclamation of the
statutes, next May or June.
Another new measure in the SEN
ate is aimed at revision of the pres

create a board, consisting of the
county council, a circuit Judge, and
the county commissioners, to ap-
point county tax board of three
members to take over duties of the

went to his final rest today.
Beside the grave Of his wife,
Nan, who died nine years ago,
the departed leader Of the base
ball world was buried at Calvary
Cemetery today after a funeral
procession which began at his
home.
A distinguished aSSemblage Of
basebalrs highest dignitaries at

Rowe IS
LAST Of LINE

The last of the great Training
RoweS" was lost to the American
turf when Jimmy Rowe died in
Baltimore.
Jimmy Junior" as he was
known to horsemen far and wide,
was a college man and, like the
learned gentlemen of real class,
was the most human of humans.
AS the stable boys say:
"Mr. Jimmy was a regular
guy"
No finer tribute could be paid
any man, for it is the stable man
and the stable boy, the lowly
Swipe and the chief of the exer-
else lads who see their chief as
he really is.
Educated at Fordham and at
Cornell, Jimmy Rowe turned his
knowledge to account on the turf
as assistant to his father. The
senior Rowe was reputed one Of
the greatest and most successful
trainers of any time in America
or abroad. It was the senior
Rowe who trained the golden
cleaners of the American turf
for the late James r. Keene.

6. v. GR|DDERS
CONFIDENT

Although mid-western grid eX-
perts are conceding Iowa vic.
tory Saturday, one could almost
sense from their demeanor and
attitude that the small out de-
termined group Of husky George
Washington gridmen leaving here
this afternoon for Iowa City have
ether ideas on the outcome Of
this game. To a man the Colo
mails eXuded a quiet confidence
that they have a chance to upset
the Hawkeyes.
For one thing, the Colonials
appear to be in far better phySi.
cal trim than they were two
weeks ago before they lost to
Tulsa. All Of the players, except
ing Johnny Fenlon whose ankle
IS still weak, are in tip-top shape
and ready to give their all to
come back with a victory.
Another factor just as i'm
portant as the physical cOndi-
tion is the fine mental attitude
Of the squad. Apparently every
man figures that as a team
they have $3.50 chance to cop
the long end of the score.
Coach Pixlee, too, believes that
If his team clicks in all depart
mentS it has an excellent chance
to sneak over a triumph.
The Colonials yesterday wound
up their work for the game with
a double session Of practice, half
Of which was physical and the
other mental. In the afternoon
the squad was sent through a
brisk drill on the Tidal Basin in
which both offensive and de-
fenSive formations for use against
the Hawkeyes were stressed. Last
night a skull practice was held
with Coach Pixlee and Len Walsh
carefully going over in detail in
dividual assignments with their
men.
On the way to Iowa City the
Colonials will take time out to-
morrow afternoon at Davenport,
Ia, to participate in a practice
session to rid themselves of the
long train ride.
