Vice Admiral Kichisaburo No

In 1897 the Generals took a
10-to-2 verdict, while in 1905 they
were victorious by a count of II

More than 700 G. w. fans were

season.
The Colonials outweighed the
Generals by a margin of nearly
IS pounds to a man. Jimmy De-
hart, coach of W.. and L., planned
to utilize an attack of speed and
deception to offset the admitted
power of the heavier G.. w. team.

DAVIS READY.
To EXPLAIN
LOTTERY
Defense Due to Be Offered to
New York Jury in Moose
Trial Next Week

NEW YORK, Sept. "a
I.N.S.).-The major evidence
gathered by the Government
was on the court record today
in it's case against Senator
James J. Davis Of Pennsyl-
vania, director general Of the
Loyal Order of Moose, charged
with violation of the Federal
lottery laws.
When the trial of the former
Secretary of Labor is resumed
Monday, loose ends in the maze OF
financial and documentary eVi-
dence, alleging that Davis profited
by $4,000 through two charity
balls conducted as lotteries, will
be tied together.
Case Nears End
The prosecution expects to rest
its case early next week.
Highlights in testimony brought
out from Government witnesses
to date are:
That Davis told the 1881
Moose convention in Atlantic
City that he kept in touch with
every detail of the order.
That Davis held a contratc
with the Moose, made in 1928.
through which he had special
organizing privileges and OBJ
tanned the initiation fees of
new members he procured. This
work went on through "the or
ganizing department."
That approval of Davis and
the supreme council of the
lodge was contained in a con-
tract made between Bernard c.
MCGUIRE, promoter, and Theo-
dore Miller, head of "the propa-
CATION department." which
handled the Moose Charity balls
of 1890 and 1881 (the alleged
lotteries).

GARROTED
MODEL
TESTED
Police Push Probe of Models
Death; SpeideI Still Held;
RecountS Same Story

A blue and gray bathrobe
cord, cotton thread wrapped
with silk, was believed by po-
lice today to be the principal
exhibit in their efforts to prove
that Sylvia Rochkin, 23-year-
old artist model and school
teacher, killed herself on a
houseboat of her paramour,
George B. Speidel, 3O-year-old
postal clerk, amateur artist,
and eponent Of free love and
free thought.
Still embedded in it is the
green painted nail which Speidel.
who is held at Seventh precinct
station pending a coroner's
inquest Monday, insists came out
of the galley rafter when ne
sought to lift the body.
The rope was the object Of
experiment by headquarters de-
tectives today.
Could Be Done
While Capt. B. w. Thompson,
acting head of the detective bu-
reau, looked on, Sergt. H. K. viii.
son, head of the Homicide Squad,
showed graphically how the
woman could have twisted the
cord twice around her neck and
then strangled herself to death
by slumping forward.
A knot where the nail is en-
beded and another knot tied
about three quaretrs further in
the six-foot cord were considered
as important.
Captain Thompson indicated
he was convinced that Speidel
had told a straight forward
story about the womans death
but refused to close investigation
of the case until the coroner'S
jury has passed on all evidence.
Beautiful Figure
Meanwhile, police investigation
took a new slant, digging deep
into the Bohemian life of Wash
ington'S So-Called artist colony.
The woman, police learned,
was much sought after as nude
model because of her magnifi-
cent physique, which resemhled
that of a Greek goddess-muscu-
lar arms and legs, with slim
ankles and delicate feet, in ad-
dltion to a classic profile.
The woman, according to po.
lice, looked as though she
weighed less than 140 pounds. In
reality she weighed 180.

Such approval would auto

Gandhi, very weak and suffer

There was the possibility that
Gandhi's millions of followers,
fearful for his health, would sue

It was pointed out, however,
that Gandhi has repeatedly de-
