will be two basketball games, one be-
tween the alumni boys team and the

tween the alumni girls and the high
school girls teams.

high school cagers upset the highly
touted Brook Park team Friday night
II to 4. Previous to this Brook Park

Branch, and Pine City.
This game was the second win of
the season for AskOv 1t was fea-
tured by the close guarding of both
teams as only two field goals were
made, one by each team. AS seen
from the score book the score looks
peculiar. At the end of the second
quarter the score was 9 to 4, at the
end of the third quarter 9 to 4, and
the final outcome was II to 4.

DARING PRISON
BREAK FO|LED

FOLSOM PRISON, Calf, Jan
16. U.P)-Four murderers were back
in condemned row today after get
ting as far as the execution cham
ber in their fantastic plan to es-
cape.
The plot was discovered by
guard shortly after the prisoners
had sawed two locks from their cells
with hack saws that had beer
smuggled into the prison in some
manner.
At the time the attempted de-
livery was discovered, Peter Far
rington, condemned to hang Feb
ruary II for killing San Fran
cisco policeman, was in the execu-
ton chamber-surveying the gal
lows with a critical eye. He said
they planned to use the gallows
beam from which he is scheduled
to hang in negotiating their es-
cape.
The four prisoners had fashioned
ropes from their blankets, intend
ing to suspend them from the gal
lows through a window overlook
ing a flower bed. Warden Cour
Smith reminded harrington tha
two gun towers overlook the flow
er bed, making escape virtually
impossible.
eve sort of figured our chances
here are slim, anyway so we had
nothing to lose" the condemned
man wryly commented.
Farrington's companions in the
frustrated break were Glen John
son, convicted of killing two mer
in a San Francisco robbery; John
Fleming, San Bernardino slayer
and Frank Miller, serving life fol
a Los Angeles murder and now
awaiting trial for killing a Negro
convict in a prison feud.

PROTESTS ON
PROPOSAL To
CUT SCHOOLS
Legislation Which Would De-
crease State Support Draws
Flood Of Opposition.
MANY BILLS ARE PRESENTED
Restricting Vote On Bonds To
Property Owners Provided In
Harper's Measure.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16. U.p)-
Bombarded with letters and tele-
grams protesting against proposed
constitutional amendments which
would decrease state support of
public schools, the entire senate
planned to attend a committee
hearing on the amendments late
today.
Indicating interest being taken
in the school bills, Senator Andrew
Schottky, Merced, chairman, said
he had received approximately
1000 letters and more than 500
kilograms from opponents of plans
to reduce school funds or eliminat-
ing fixed charges.
The brief morning session of the
senate saw the introduction of
three more proposed constitutional
amendments.
One of these, by Senator Dan
Williams, Chinese camp, would re-
quire the payment of taxes on sli
property owned by an irrigation
district and not actually in use.
A second amendment by Will
liams and Senator william E. Har-
per, San Diego, would permit ONLY
property owners to vote in bond
election.
Williams third measure would
reduce the salary of legislators
from $100 to SIS month; increase
terms in the senate from four to
six years, and in the assembly
from two to four years.
Salaries of state heads of the
departments, members of the ju-
dietary and other offices would be
reduced 25 per cent under pro-
/, visions of II bills introduced by
Assemblyman James s. O'Connor,
North Hollywood.
A resolution urging all state
departments to buy American,
was presented by Assemblyman
John T. Rawls, San Pedro.
Overlapping functions of the
department of social welfare with
other state departments would be
abolished according to terms of a
bill by Assemblyman M. S. Meeker,
Herman. Activities of the social
welfare department would be re-
stricted to charitable institutions.
Adult and juvenile probation, cor
rective penal institutions and hos
pitals for the insane would be re-
moved from their supervision.

CITY SL|CKERS
PASS Up GOLD

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16. U.P)-
Los Angeles groaned today when
it learned it had swept more than
100000 off its front porchers and
sidewalks last week.
1t was partly gold dust too!
Not being assayerS, housewives
and store owners didn't recognize
the dust that blanketed the city
during bowling windstorm as
anything but dust. So it was very
uncermoniously swept and washed
out into the streets.
Today, John Herman, veteran
assayer, popped up with the an
nouncement the dust contained
deposits of valuable gold, silver
and commercial potassium. Ac-
cepting the estimate of the city
engineers office that 100000 tons
of the dust were carried in from
the desert and mountains, Herman
computed the loss at $4,000 in
gold, $4,000 in silver, and $240,000
in potassium.
Residents looked up hopefully for
another windstorm. But it rained
instead.

LLOYD-GE0RGE
SPEAKS OUT

LONDON, Jan. 16. U.I)-Musso-
lini and Stain are the only men
who grasp what is occurring today
in a world "whirling toward catas-
tropey," but unfortunately the
leaders of the Italian and Russian
governments ''have insufficient re-
sources" David Lloyd George said
today on the eve of his 10th birth
Gay.
The fiery Welshman discussed
past events, present problems and
his own political future with a
special correspondent of the News
Chronicle at Criccieth, Welsh
watering place.
Lloyd George had no praise for
the present national government
of Great Britain, which he said
was bluffed by Premier Bennett
of Canada, defied by japan and
bullied by the United States.
THE United States government
was moribund, like wasp, when
the summer has past, with just
one sting left in its TAIL" Lloyd
George said. "And the govern
ment stung us badly, to the ex-
tent of 30,0O0O00 pounds.
The NewS-Chronicle said Lloyd
George was a picture of mental and
physical fitness. He was confined
to his home last week by a cold.

THE PAS, Man, Jan. 16. W.H
How an Indian prisoner with
bones broken in an aiIplane crash
