CAPONE JUDGE
CENSURED FOR
RECEIvERSHIPS
House Committee RebukeS
WiIkerSon and Two
Other JuriStS.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May 16-James
H. Wilkerson, the judge who sent
AL CapOne to prison, and two asso-
ciates Of the Chicago district federal
bench today were censured for al
most criminal negligence in bank
ruptcy and receivership cases by the
house judiciary subcommittee.
The other judges named by the
committee we're Charles E. Wood
ward and Walter Lindley. The con-
duct of a fourth judge, John P.
Barnes, was found free Of any neg
hgence of office.
The committee, headed by Repre-
sentative Tom D. McKeown Dem.
Okla), recommended new legislative
safeguards against practices dis
closed by the inquiry.
The report disclosed that receivers
and attorneys in bankruptcy
charged huge fees, which in many
cases virtually wiped out all assets.
Friends and former law partners
were appointed attorneys in re-
ownership cases by certain judges.
The outstanding fact which in
our opinion" the report said, jus
titles the severest criticism is the
apparent disregard by the judges of
the rights of property of the cred
jtors in the matter of the allow
ance of fees.
Our investigation discloses a con-
dition in Chicago, that amounts to
almost criminal negligence in the
failure on the part of the courts
to properly conserve the property in
litigation, and in some instances an
apparent willing assent to the plum
dering and sacking of the estate
committed to the care and custody
of the court, because in many of
these cases apparently the whole
arrangement was simply to use up
the assets in the payment of re-
ceiver and attorney fees with an
absolutely utter disregard for the
right of creditors.
During the last five years more
than S40O0,000OOO have been lost
to creditors throughout the United
States in bankruptcy and receiver
ship matters"
The committee said there were
indications in Chicago of ring to
share in receiverShip profits.

WASHINGTON, May 16-An
amendment to the Glass bill grant,
ing loans to industry through the
federal reserve banks which would
have made possible the borrowing
of funds for purchase of the Citi-

 Not to be outdone in the matter of players, the Clairmonts will

 Danbury. Nov. 3.-The Danbury Trojans take a week off from the 1894 quest or the state semi-pro football title to collide tomorrow afternoon with the famous West Point Colored Cavalry, which team was the only one to beat the champs last year.
 The Black Riders of the Hudson are noted for the bewildering raz- zle-dazzle of their backfield play. consisting of a complex assortmen of shovel and basket passes and dizzy running plays which com pletely befuddled the Trojans last year. Thanked by two six feet, six inch ends, the negro soldiers boast line averaging 205 pounds. which outweighs the Hatters' forward wall by 12 pounds per man,
 Having conquered the Bristol West Ends. the Trojans will turn their attention toward series of games with the leading title con- tenders. The New Britain Blues will provide the opposition at Lee field here on Nov. II The Blues held the Thomaston Ponies to 8 scoreless tie. On Nov.

New Haven, Conn, Nov 3.-(UP) -Unbeaten and unscored on Dart mouth held slight margin of odds over Yale as the two teams met here today in their golden jubilee game.
 Not since. Yale trimmed the In- dians 133-0 in 1884 has Dartmouth been able to break the jinx which has trailed along to every contest. In the seventeen games they have played, the visitors only once ham, mered away to a scoreless tie in 1880 and the following year, while holding substantial leade, wound up in 33-33 tie.
 Yale will depend largely on an aerial assault to keep the record clean. The forward wall. still a bit weak, is the chief concern of the Blue coaches. One of them re- marked.

HEAVY HARTFORD | OUTFIT OPPOSES | CROSBY TODAY
Blue and White at Full
 Strength for Hard Game To-day

Two of the best ten high school football teams in Connecticut will clash this afternoon at Hamilton park through the element of open dates which both happened to have for today. Crosby high, whose gridiron warriors have los, but one game of five played to date. tangles with Johnny Newell's Hartford high contingent, loser of but two games in six, and one Of those by a 1914 margin to Hill- house of New Haven, whom Cros- by was to have played October 9th but was washed out, the game still standing.
 Crosby's backfield of. Walsh at quarterback. Gribbon and Dolan at halfback positions and Stevens at fullback looks like a smooth com- bination that will start against Hartford on the strength of it's work against Torrington last Mon- day during 40-0 uprising.
 Not So Bad
 A glance at Hartford's record shows that the Capitol city outfit has beaten East Hartford, 21-G, Manchester 26-6, St Michaers of New York 33-0, and has lost. to Bulkeley 1925 and to Hillhouse 1914. We understand that in the Bulkley contest, Bulkeley played brand of football that was total ly unexpected. Hartford, entering the game a strong favorite. sud- denly found itself on the short end of the score, and the team hit the sky as so often happens among school boy elevens. Despite the result, few will admit Bulkeley to be the equal of Hartford.
 The result of the Hartford Hill houses game Monday. when Hill house won 14-13, really shows the calibre of the Hartford team. An eleven which can hold Hillhousc even is real team, as Hillhouse is one of the few remaining un- defeated teams in the state. Hart ford should provide a great battle Saturday as Crosby also has ball club this season.
 Ready
 Coach Schof1eld devoted practice to comparatively light work thIs week. Some time was spent on pass defense, a department in which Crosby has been weak this fall. Mike Sheehan and Flamighett:. injured regulars were back in togs. and both should be ready to face Hartford, Saturday. With this pair in shape, Schofield should be able to place his best eleven on the field to face Johnny Newell's team.

The team will be composed almost entirely Of green players but in spite of this fact several freshmen who have shown up for practice give promise of being good players and making the team this season.
 With the strong Bristol High school five being dropped from the schedule efforts are being made to arrange the opening game with Planiville, a team in the same class as Terryville. Collinsville has been scheduled to be played on Feb ruary 13, this also being new team on the schedule.

BY HENRY McLEMORE

(Un1te0 FrcSS StAu COfreSpOnuentD New York, Nov - (U.P.) -
 Madison Square Garden, that de-
 lightful variety hall on eighth ave-
 nue which sponsors cat shows.
 Tammany rallies, rodeos, sym
 phony concerts and circuses, threw
 open it's doors to la boxe last night
 in an effort to locate vchallenger
 for lightweight champion, Barney Ross.
 When the last punch had been thrown and Joe Humphreys had
 raised the last weary arm, 11.551 paying customers walked out into
 the night convinced that if the young gentlemen placed on exhibit were the only menaces to the 1885
 pound title, Ross would be cham pion forever.
 Starting with a pair of ambitious young gentlemen named Leonardo Del Geno and Charley .Badami. Promoter Jimmy Johnston ran out
 what he considered the cream of the lightweight class. There was Al Roth of New York. and Eddie Cool of Philly; Young Oter Jackson of California and Tony Falco of Phil adelphia: Harry Dublinsky of Chi cago and Frankie Klick of Frisco.
 They were all very earnest and
 willing, but that about let them out. On a good night. Ross could
 take them all.
 The most severe disappointment
 was the colored chap, young Peter
 Jackson. Hailed by western critics
 as the greatest negro lightweight
 since Joe Cans. Peter went in the
 ring against Faico a to 1 favorite.
 Some of the wagering boys were
 offering 3 to that Falco wouldn't go the route.
 Falco not only went the route he took six rounds to three for
 Jackson, and made the "second Joe Gans'' look like a second rater from the kerosene circuit. Jackson, who cafne here with a
 record of 33 knockouts in 6S fights.
 didn't land a damaging blow in the ten rounds. And he was highly un- willing to mix it on those occasions | when Falco. weary of boos from the gallery, abandoned caution and
 waded in.
 In whipping Dublinsky. Kick
 proved himself to be stout hearted little gamester who likes
 to get in close and maui. If the fight had been for Is rounds. Brother Kick probably wouldn't have been around for the finish. for he was so stirred in the tenth heat that his legs were buckling. Dublinsky was just busy-body..
 without punch. He cuffed and, slapped Klick thousand times.
 but his licks lacked authority. Ross would undoubtedly lay him out
 out among the petunias. l Cool. the pride of Philadelphia.
 had better remain there. He whip
 ped Roth. but was highly unim-
 pressive. Given blackjack. he couldn't knok skippy's hat off at | three paces.
 My guess is that Ross will have to again turn to Tony the can-can for fight. Canzonerio is over the
 hill. and enn't lick Barney, but he can make it close.
