into office he hurried 10 call the

The game is being sold in Indian

THE game originated in an
Eastern college, where an economics
professor used it to demonstrate the
results of uncontrolled speculation,
Layman explains. Il played it at
Williams college, on a home made
board which two of my fraternity
brothers brought with them.
1T was such fun that I made q
board for myself. When friends
borrowed it, 1 decided that it was
a good commercial venture. It was
then that the game, as it is played

MAYORS BEATEN
IN BATTLE OVER

Senate RuSheS Measure to
Passage, Despite Storm
of Protests.

Clicking on all cylinders, McNutt
forces in the senate Wednesday
passed the b affecting municipal
ownership Of public utilities over
protests of the Municipal Right
League and mayors of Indiana cities
already owning utility plants.
Features which had opposition,
including. taxation for state and
county purposes and the right of
utility companies to have all plants
grouped when rates are made for
one plant, were left in the bill.
despite efforts to amend.
The demand for municipality
owned plants to be taxed comes
from the privately owned utilities
and not from the public" charged
Senator Harry M. Williams Dem,
Fit. Wayne). He tried in vain to
get publicly owned plants exempted
from taxation, as they now are.
With protests against adding to
the burdens of consumers ringing
in their ears, the McNutt forces
again resorted to their favorite par
liamentary action of suSpending the
rules, and, under the lash of the
administration, passed the bill by
a vote of IS to 0, many senators
refusing to vote.
AS soon as conference committees
agree on amendments made in both
houses, the measure will go to Nc
Mutt for approval.

MAY Be MOVED

Trial of George Crawford, col

Mrs. Agnes Boeing Ilsley and her

dleburg. may not be held in Lees
burg, Va, it was learned there
today.
The defense. it is said, will
seek change of venue. pointing
out alleged illfeeling in Loudoun
county as the reason for the
change. Speculation is rife in
legal circles in Northern Virginia
as to where the trial will be held
if a change is granted.
Some contend that the trial
would be shifted to the TideWater
district, while others believe it
would be brought to the northern
end of the State, probably to
Alexandria.
Commonwealth Attorney John
Galleher, of Leesburg, already
has declared he will oppose a
change of venue, declaring the
suspect can get an unprecedented
trial in the county seat of

Differences of opinion were ap.

to whether Henry Ford is or is not

This, along with Ford's observ'

eligible to bid on Government con.
tracts, Notwithstanding his failure
to sign the code.

ALLEYS REPORT
GIVEN SENATE

With a population estimated at
10000, there are 1873 inhabited
alleys in Washington, according
to a report by DR.. w. c. Fowler,
District Health Officer, to the
Senate committee considering the
alley clearance bill.
DR.. Fowler also declares in his
report that alley jewellers died at
the rate of 467 per 100000 popu-
lation in 1890. adding that SAN
itary conditions in the alleys are
almost unbelievable for communi-
ties in modern city.
The program being studied by
the Senate Committee calls for a
revolving fund for the purchase
by the Government, of alley
property which would be improved
and put to other uses.
