for the ''savage sport" these uni- versailles, he added, ''to whom is committed the guardianship of the youths by the parents.
 "The youngsters go forth to bat tie, go into the arena and hit one another like the slaves of old in the Roman arena" Father Fitzgerald asserted. Personally I could never look at a football game, saw one once. Never again." He advised parents not to let their children participate in it. The youth of to- day, he said, should let Jesus Christ be their hero, the one they should follow.
 The game, he claimed is a dan ger to human life and should not be allowed until the rules are changed. It arouses savagery, brutality and results in maiming, he charged. In conclusion he urg- ed his audience to dethrone such false heroes and to follow the Sa- cred Heart and endeavor to please God.
 Tn view of the popularity of the sport in Naugatuck, the sermon caused much comment in the borough.

 The senator expressed doubt whether the information would en- able him to make a fair estimate of the percentage of the entire states business which is under the control of the larger distributors. He may seek the aid of ElWood Seal, milk investigator for the Dis trict of Columbia, to determine whether the relation of business of the big producers to that or the independents is sufficient to justify conclusion that the inde- pendents are at the mercy of mono poly control.
 Some evidence has been present. ed. the senator said, which 1ndi- cates that Connecticut's milk prob. lems present an entirely local situation of diversified interests. Some producers have suggested that a federal milk marketing agree ment is the only solution, and others have indicated that the problems of Connecticut are no diff ferent than those of other states and that a national investigation should be authorized by congress:
 It was learned here that MT Seal has been making inquiries Of various senators and representa- tives during the past week whether their dairy interests would favor a broadening of the present inquiry in the District of Columbia milk situation so that it would be na- tional in scope, in view of the na- tionwide control of some of the big distributors.

 Father Fitzgerald in pointing out that the Sacred Heart of Jesus ever wanted to do things which would please Christ's Father, said that there is false modern worship of the football hero. "Our little ones," he said, admire and look up to the football player who has just made touchdown.

The sane and liberal element Of the
japanese press will now be able to keep
the patriots from running up high
fever while Litvinov is here.
There appears to have been another
minor factor In the decision that was
not mentioned.
The President has an idea back in
his mind that he would like to visit the
Pacific Coast and Hawaii next Summer.
Also, that he would like to review the
feet. He would get as much kicksout Of
watching the parading men of war as a
youngster gets out Of q circus parade.
Can Avoid Diplomatic Issue.
But it would certainly lead to inter-
national misunderstanding in Japan if
he went to the Coast of Hawaii for the
review.
Under the 71eU arrangement he
may be able to see the fleet in
the Atlantic and make the trip to
the Coast without creating un-
fortunate appearances.
A typical example of the Roosevelt
strategy In diplomacy is his handling of
the recent Hawaiian delegation at the
White House.
The Hawaiians went there to demand
that he drop the idea Of having non
resident Governor. They wanted to kill
the RANKIN bill. pending in@ the- Senate.

R. B. MELLON PLEADS
FOR TAX REHEARING
Brother Of Former Treasury Sec
retary Objects to $1s,951 De-
fciency Assessment.

BY the Associated Press. ~ ..s
Richard Beatty Mellon, Pittsburgh
banker and brother of Andrew w. Mel
Ion, has asked the Board of Tax Appeals
to redetermine an $18,95l deficiency
assessment against his 1880. income
taxes
Mellon, president OF the Mellon Bank
Of Pittsburgh, reported in his petition,
fled yesterday, that his total income in
1880 was $S,5s8,9Sl.
His taxable income was fixed at
S3,551 ,905 and a tax of $684,118 was
determined by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue. Later, however, 1t raised the
figure to $703, ,069 and sent Mellon notice
he was deficient in his return by $18e51.
In declaring the deficiency the bureau
held Mellon should have included In
his income $l43,828 in dividends from
the Mellbank Corporation and a profit
on an insurance policy. Tt denied Ger
tain commission adjustments claimed by
Mellon on the lease Of the Hotel Pitts
burgher.
Mellon contepded the Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue erred in attributing
prof1t on the cashing of the insurance
policy, accepted as collateral, claiming
a loss instead Of profit. He also con-
Tended ne had overstated certain divi-
dends in his original return.
He said the Mellbank dividends never
mad been received, as the profits OF that
corporation had been held as protection
for its group of banks around Pitts
| burgh.
Mellon also contended the Commits
sioner Of Internal Revenue erred In dis
allowing some deductions in connection
with contributions to charity for 1880
which ne said totaled $677,162.

Senate Evidence Shows Dill

With Public's Cash.

Evidence that bankers gained control
Of the $15o.0o0,0oo Dodge Motor Co.
in 1925 without the investment of a
single penny, was pondered today by
the Senate Stock Market Investigating
Committee with view to possible open
inquiry
The evidence, gathered from the
books Of Dillon, Read & Co., shows q
banking syndicate headed by that firm
purchased the automobile company
from the Dodge family with money
subscribed by the public and retained
the voting stock in its own hands.
In addition to gaining control Of the
company. the bankers realized profits
of millions from selling the securities
to the public. Later the company was
sold to Chrysler In exchange for Chrys-
Ter stock.
Because Of this evidence, committee
members may decide to reopen the
Dillon, Read inquiry, but they had
reached no decision today.
The Dodge Co. sale was one of the
biggest cash transactions in history
The bankers syndicate paid for the
company In single check for $146,-
100000
Whether the committee goes into that
operation depends to a large extent
upon time. Efforts are being made to
wind up the hearings within a few
weeks SO a report can be submitted to
Congress in January.

quiry will wind up by the end of this

CHESAPEAKE FERRY
IS DELAYED AGAIN
|. c. c. Fixes November is

ing Construction.

The long fight Of the Chesapeake
Beach Railway Co. to span the bay with
ferry service encountered new snag
today when the Interstate Commerce
Commission fixed November l6 as the
deadline for inaugurating the construc-
ton work necessitated by the project.
The company, which now has pend
ing an application for loan Of $425.-
600 from the Public Works Administra-
tion, had asked that the starting date,
last set for November /, be advanced
to May /, next, with completion fixed
for December 81, 1885, as against June
80, as at present required.
The commission, however, In addi-
ton to fixing the starting date for the
middle of this month, set up the COM
pletion date only is days, making 1t
July is, 1895.
The starting date leeway was granted
to allow the Annapolis Claiborne Ferry
Co, which has fought establishment of
the rival service, to file an answer TO
the application for extension, it was
said at the commission.
The railway company plans again TO
ask for an extension, but If the COM
mission refuses the plea once more, the
certificate it issued authorizing the
project more than three years ago
would expire.
The Chesapeake Beach Co. went to
the Public Works unit for the money
after being turned down by the r. F. G.
The ferry project is being warmly sup
ported by local business interests ana
IS being as vigorously opposed in
Maryland.

said today the report of the p. w. A.

q hearing on the proposal that public
works money be used for the ferry, has
not yet been submitted to him nor to
