GRID OUTLOOK

 AT WISCONSIN
Spears Injects Hopes Grid Fans Back Coach,
 Win or Lose

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 30. = University of Wisconsin football partisans are extraordinarily opti- mistice this year, yet they don't expect the Badger eleven to be above average.
 The cause of this paradox is Dr. Clarence w. Speaks, Wiscon- sins new grid coach who is ex- pected to produce a fighting if not victorious eleven this Fall
 Coach Spears declined to label his prospects as more than just ordinary but since his arrival from the University of Oregon hot-stove league discussions indi- cate the entire state is behind him regardless of the Badgers standing in the final conference rating.
 Respect For Spears
 Long before he came to Wis consin Badger fans learned to re- spect Spears teams. From 1925 to 1929 his Minnesota eleven de- feated the Badgers four times and

 Dodge, driving another boat in the race, got Benny Hill, famous automobile racing driver, to pilot Miss Syndicate.
 The mechanics labored over her by day and studied her by night. Hill sent her roaring over the course. She had 24 cylinders and the rival drivers muttered disparagingly that she also had a mechanic for every cylinder But she was conceded to be the fastest thing in the history of the race.

 Although Doe" nas not prom ised a winning team, he has made clear his intention to have team of men who like to play football.

Well, the day of the battle nine boats lined up under perfect con ditions, the gun roared and away they went. Miss Syndicate roar ed around the first turn of the first lap of the opening 30 mile heat. Then poof-out went tht Miss Syndicate motors.
 The mechanics swarmed out or the course and lowed her to the dock Feverishly they worked and there was life in the engine again for the start of the next heat.
 Again Miss Syndicate roareo away, reached the first turn this time and poof-the motors stop ped again, this sime a hundred yards further.
 But she was back for the third and final heat, with no chance of winning the cup of course, but still determined to show then if only for a lap. Again she flashed away. This time she goi all the way around the turn and started back the first home stretch perhaps a full distance of two miles, before the engine died fol the third and last time.
 The most disgusted man in Mon- tauk was Hill.
 Whats the matter, Benny?' they shouted at him at Miss Syn dicate, LII der the ignominious tow neared the dock again.
 The hlankety- blank thing" he announced decisively, just simply won't go."
 The same curse still hangs or the Delphine V. Benny should have been driving her again She simply would not go.

turning from his store, was being in
vestigated today by police while Rev.
DR.. F. T. McFaden, pastor of Loudoun

Dental section and not brightly lighted.
They had established to their satisfac-

automatic pistol. One such cartridge
and bullet were found on the front
porch, corresponding with the bullet
removed from his body by surgeon.
Since then, it has developed, police

Senator Borah introduced today Dill

The bill provided for cutting salaries
between $4,000 and $500 by per

10 per cent, and higher salaries, ~

The cut would apply to all Govern

that total salaries drawn by employees
Of State and Federal Governments IN
1881 was about $6,O00,000 900, and TINS
amounts to about 40 per cent OF the
gross expenditures of these governments.
II am urging these salary cuts simply

BISHOP RICHARDSON
FAvORS DRY VOTE
New Anti-SaIoon President
Would Confine Referendum
to Separate States.

Bishop Ernest G. Richardson, newly
elected president OF the Anti-Saloon
League, said last night, he would have
no objection to a prohibition refer
endum if the vote we're confined to the
separate States and all States.
Confident of the result, he looks upon
polls of the voters by the various States
as the best means of settling the issue
of repeal of the eighteenth amendment
Richardson is head of the Philadelphia
area Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
When a majority of the people In
-fourths of the States" he said
yesterday, favor repeal Of the amend
ment. then let it CO. That's the only
constitutional way to proceed
A national referendum to Richard
sons mind, would be meaningless" no
matter what the popular result, be-
cause of the constitutional proviso re-
curing SO States to vote for repeal be-
fore that could be accomplished.
He said he did not believe majority
of the people of the Nation would vote
for repeal But if they did or not, he
added, it would not be fair to permit
the voters In a dozen States to write
the law for the entire Nation.
Cites Colonial Union.
IF it had not been for the combining
of the Colonies on equal status we
would have no United States today"
he said. adding, Its just as important
to have equal representation OF the
States on the prohibition question as
it is for them to have equal represen-
tation in the Senate.
That's the foundation OF our Gov
eminent" he added.
Richardson said he believes every
State should settle its own problem
on national repeal through referen-
dunn of its own citizens.
Saying he never before attended a
meeting of the league, the new presi-
dent asserted he was not acquainted
with its activities and could make no
promises as to future policies, other
than to urge harmony of effort with
other prohibition organizations.

SENATE VOTE NEAR
7. ON DEFICIENCY BILL
Passage Expected After
100000 Item for Avia-
tors Is Retained.

The Senate today may pass the $l26,-
100000 deficiency appropriation bill,
having disposed Of disputed National
defense item yesterday by voting IS to
% to leave in the bill 100000 for train
ing aviation pilots in the Officers Re-
serve Corps.
Opponents of the appropriation, led
by Senator Dickinson, Republican, OF
Iowa. argued that, in view of the pres
ent economic condition. this item could
be saved, since it was not asked for by
the War Department, or estimated for
by the Budget Bureau.
Supporters of the amendment, head
ed by Senator Bingham, Republican, OF
Connecticut backed it primarily on the
factor of safety. Without this addi-
tional sum to complete the fiscal year,
Senator Bingham said, Reserve pilots
would be restricted to 80 minutes in tie
air each month. Experience has shown,
Senator Bingham said. that pilots need
about four hours month flying time
in order to fly safely. Regular train
ing. he said. is not only measure of
human safety for the pilots but safety
for Government property also.
Senators Kendrick of Wyoming
Fletcher of Florida and Harris of
Georgia, all Democrats, and Reed, Re
publican, of Pennsylvania, joined Bing-
ham in supporting the amendment.
Senators Mcclellan, Democrat. of Ten
nessee, and Glenn. Republican. of Ilh-
nois, were among those who argued for
its elimination on the ground OF
economy.
Senator Jones of Washington, chair
man of the Appropriations Committee,
praised the patriotism of the Reserve
pilots, but said he felt that in view of
present conditions the 100000 item
should not be allowed. After the Sem
ate voted to leave the item in the bill
Jones said that in conference he would
set aside his personal views and en-
deavor to sustain the Senate's action.

the Mellon controlled Gulf Oil Corpo-
ration received a concession from Co
lombia to valuable oil lands in the
Barco concession.
Gregg read a cable sent by Olaya in
answer to Patman's charges. Gregg
said the cable was sent voluntarily on
January Is. 1t read:
In the negotiation of the bank credit
to Colombia, neither the Barco conceS-
sion nor any point relative to petroleum
legislation was taken into account in
anV way.
The policy of my government in
these two questions has exclusively fol-
lowed general consideration based on the
advantage to the country to develop its
petroleum wealth on basis which might
harmonic the interests of the nation
with those of all foreign capital which
wished or may wish to invest in this in
dustry in Colombia, because I considered
that confidence would thus be stimu-
lated and prepared abroad for the fu-
ture credit and resources Of the country.
Talk on Concession Denied.
II never discussed nor even spoke
with Secretary Mellon regarding the
Barco concession nor regarding any
matters of the American Government
in order that Colombia might obtain
credit and the conversation with Mr..
Mellon referred to that in the report Of
Ell Tempo of Bogota of August of
last year was in the nature of general
appreciations regarding economic con-
ditions in Colombia and the mention
made in it by the Secretary regarding
the possibilities that the petroleum
riches of Colombia offer for its economic
restoration were incidental, and l con-
sldered 1t then and have considered it
ever since as mere general opinion in
estimating the elements which consti-
tute the riches available for the prog
reSS of the country, but never as a
hint or suggestion regarding a specific
litigation.
This was the only time talked with
Secretary Mellon regarding matters re-
ferring to Colombia"
Soon after the presentation of the
cable by Gregg, the committee went
into executive session to consider the
impeachment resolutions.
