= TALKING out of the wrestling
past, Ed Stranger" Lewis,
- who began championship
reigns when there was moth
ing more in wrestling than the
price of a new pair of socks, ap-
peared before more than 1000
Washington fans last night to
present his claims to the title Jim
LondoS claims.
Mr.. Lewis, sedate, very, very tat
where it does not help, and reaching
far into middle age, has nothing more
to offer as a bid for Londos' crown
than an honest-to-goodneSs wrestling
ability.
And that riH not give him a crot1n
in these days OF chain store, bur-
lesque graphing, 1Chere man must
haze more color than ability, more
political persuasion than grips and
more business cunning than mat
craft.
COMING into the Curley Circus from
~ a rival bone-crushing tribe, it was
expected that the Stranger would
have something new for his new GUS
toners. But he has nothing. not even
the right to use his famed headlock in
the manner in which he has been &C
customed to display it.
Mr.. Lewis, once great wrestler,
still today a better wrestler than the
burlesque stars outdrawing him at
the turnstile, is pitifully colorless.
He was booed at times for inactivity
He even stopped to grimace and to
grunt when the big Indian, Tiny Roe
buck, plastered an armlock upon him
But he grunts like an amateur
grimaces like a Simon-pure.
He cannot eUen snort like good
snorting tDreStler. He cannot make
funny faces, and he does not blo1p
through his nose and Srldrl. HotD in
the heck is he eDer going to dratr
NTH Jimmy the Londos Dhen he
cannot snort
WHEN it was time for him to send
w Roebuck out of the picture last
night it took the aid Of the ref
cree and few flying falls upon the
part of the last mentioned to help make
the climax picturesque.
Mr.. Lewis tried to look pained and
confused. Then, while the very
clever MIR. Cyclone Burns was imi-
tating gale through the ropes, and
the spectators gaze was upon him,
Lewis did the trick.

AXE PLACID, N. Y, February IL.
The statement which follows
has been issued by Count de
Baillet-Latour, president of the
International Olympic Committee:
There has been SO much comment
in the press about the opinions ex-
pressed by the leaders of the various
international skating teams at Lake
Placid that wish to make it clear that
the incidents which happened have
been ameliorated with the best sporting
spirit and that the decision Of the ref
cree proved itself to be very satisfactory
to all concerned.
The behavior Of the competitors has
been very good, and the heats, as well
as the final, of the 10,00O-meter race
were fought for under much better con-
ditions. This Is the opinion of the
leaders OF the foreign teams as it has
been reported to me.
Il wish also to emphasize that the
TACT that an invitation to take part next
month in the competitions at Oslo,
issued to Jack Shea and Irving Jaffee
and accepted by them, is another proof
that the third Olympic Winter games
have promoted brotherhood and good
feeling among the nations, which Is one
of the ideals of the International
Olympic Committee"

ty we'll by himself in the
" Winter games section of
the OlympicS, and if the
interest displayed in them may
be taken as a criterion, it can
be said that the we'll known
worldwide depression does not
extend to sports.
The Americans got off to a
flying start when young Jack
Shea scored surprise victories
in two of the speed skating
events for men, while Irving
Jaffee followed with a less sur
priSing triumph, and now the
flashing blades of the women
contestants have contributed
to the point total for the Stars
and Stripes.
Silly pickering, poor weather
conditions and serious accidents
threatened for a time to mar
the program at Lake Placid,
but everything now seems to
be proceeding smoothly, with
prospects bright for really
noteworthy showing by the
Americans in competition with
entrants from countries where
youngSt practically are
reared on ice skates, skis and
snowshoes.
Winter Games a Success.
THE events listed for the
i resort in the hills of up
per New York State round out
a To-day program this week,
and, despite initial handicapS,
are certain to be accounted a
success, at least from the
standpoint of the spectacular,
however much they accomplish
toward international amity,
whatever that is.
Naturally enough the bob
sleigh races have attracted the
greatest amount of attention,
for written accounts of the
terrific speed and dangers in
volved can engender thrills for
those in sections never visited
by freezing temperatures, where
hockey Is known only as a
word and curling never has
been heard of.
Attention focused on these
Winter games, the third set
to be held under Olympic aus
pices, will be far exceeded by
the contests to be staged next
August at Los Angeles, where
for the tenth time in modern
history representatives of more
than a score of nations will
compete in a dozen different
tests of strength, speed, skill
and stamina.
U. S. Superiority Menaced.
WHETHER the United
w States again can con-
trive to establish its superiority
on track and field, of all events
the most highly priced and bit
terly contested, remains to be
seen. Where America once
rcmped with ease to victory in
a large majority of these tests
its margins of late have become
gradually smaller, due to the
interest in athletics aroused by
the World War among other
nations, notably the Scandi-
navians and Germans.
In distance events, particu-
larly, this country has been
outclassed consistently, having

: TO D. c. REPORTED
Hotel Reservations for Four
Months Show Increase
Over 1881 Period.

Indications that travel to Washington
from various points over the country
has increased during the last several
months over corresponding period of
last year were reported today by Curtis
Hodges, executive director Of the
Greater National Capital Committee Of
the Board of Trade
TIE four information booths operated
BY the committee here have made Ills
more hotel reservations from August
the corresponding period OF last year,
he reported Inquiries for reservations
also have shown an increase.
Conventions already scheduled by the
committee to be held here during 1888,
the report continues, indicate that the
delegates will bring about 100000 to
Washington.
The committee director believes, how
ever, that this figure will be greatly in
creased as more conventions later are
scheduled for Washington.
He estimates that the tourist trade
till bring to Washington a sum run
ming in excess of $25, ,000, ,000
The travel income" figures are based
on an estimated expenditure Of s65 per
delegate to the conventions here A
smaller figure is used as the estimated
expenditure of tourists stopping In
Washington.
The committee estimates that tour
lists to Washington spent approximately
$16,000,000 in Washington during the
past year This is lower by about ST.
850,000 than the estimate for the pre-

litical parasite who has ever repre-
scented the government in this state"
Down at Valley City P. r. Trub-
shaw of the Times-Record, who has
a habit of speaking his mind, says:
North Dakota is one of the great
agricultural states, and it has seen
its prosperity vanishing year after
year under a system of some kind
that has Slapped the life blood from
agriculture and caused thousands to
leave their farms broke that few
years ago were in good circum-
stances. As Republican we can
not close our eyes to that fact, nei-
Their are we trying to do so. The
facts are staring US in the face, the
situation is acute and the agricul-
turalists of the nation, including
those in North Dakota, are sullen
and dissatisfied, and they went to
the polls Tuesday and in most un-
mistakable terms said so.
"They are clamoring for a change
in leadership and if Mr.. Hoover is
the choice of the Republican party
for president he is going to face
probable defeat unless by some mys-
ferrous turn of the wheel between
now and November he can bring
about some real changes that spell
prosperity"
The attitude is summed up pretty
well in the Dunn County Journal
which says: while we daily be-
come hotter under our rock-ribbed
Republican collar nothing apparent
~ is heard, done or accomplished by
the widely-heralded farm believers.

In the western part Of the state
and in the drouth areas considerable
heat is being applied to the federal
department of agriculture for al
legged lackadaisical administration
of the federal feed and seed loans.
The killdeer Herald is wroth be-
cause only 400 blanks were sent to
that county whereas 1900 were or
dered and says:
"This is another example Of some-
one knowing more about our bust

management Of the Grand Forks Of

all wonder how that man cliff can

DEPARTMENT MAKES
new DISTRIBUTION
Motor Vehicle Fund AIiots $20,
1929 to Highway Con-
struction Work

Distribution Of unexpended budget
balances Of the state highway and
motor vehicle departments totalling
$28,749.29 was announced Saturday
by w. s. Graham, state registrar.
The money is being apportioned on
the same basis as motor vehicle Ii
cense fees, half going to the coun-
ties and half to the state highway de-
partment construction fund.
The balances for the motor vehicle
registration department were $998.58
for the biennium Of 1923-25; $2,349. Al
for l925-27; $42.0l for 1927-29 and
$l5,6o5.77 for 1929-31. The figure for
the current biennium represents
money which will be used later by
the department but which will be
deducted from current receipts at
the time used.
In the past the department has de-
Quoted from first quarter collections
the entire amount allotted it for op-
Grating expenses. The new distribu-
ton represents departure from that
policy.
In addition to the unexpended bal
ances listed, transfer was made of
$9,752.52 which had been transferred
from the highway fund to the motor
vehicle fund for the biennium Of
1929-31.
The amounts paid to counties on
the new, basis OF distribution range
from $58.43 for Sioux county to ST.
l.26 for Cass county.
