HARGADEN, H0YA
STAR, SHOOTS
At RECORDS
BY AL COSTELLO

Ed Hargaden, Georgetwon Uni.
versity's All-American candidate
for basketball honorS, today faces
an opportunity of establishing a
new all-time intercollegiate record.
With another full season of play
remaining, Hargaden is casting
an ambitious eye at both the three
year and single season individual
scoring records of Robert H. Many
of Lehigh, who is recognized by no
less an authority than Frank G.
Menke, noted New York sports
authority, in Menke's All Sports
Record Book.
Many is credited with scoring
632 points during his three years
play with Lehigh. He complied his
total during the seasons of 1927
'28, 1928'29 and 1929.'30. His
single season record of 225 points
was recorded in 1928, his sopho-
more year.
Just how near Hargaden is to
the record may be readily seen by
facts and figures.
During Hargaden's 1928 sea.
son (his Sophomore) he tailed
but 1913 points. This, however, is
unofficial. Rome T. Schwagel,
! GeorgetoWn's loudeSt shouter, and
confirmed expert on press rela.
tionS for the Hilltoppers, supplies
the MISUNDERSTANDING and
not from his 1928 seasons
score book.
However, this year, and this is
official, according to Mr.. Rome
T. Schwagel, Hargaden has flip
ped a total of 21O markers
through the rims, for a two year
record of 408. BY due methods
OF subtraction, Hargaden has to
score 224 points next year to
equal the records of Many.
Should Hargaden play Selfishly
during his final season, he will
undoubtedly break Many's all.
time mark. But Eddie is not this
type Of player.
Plays for Team First
An instance Saturday night,
when Georgetown defeated Car.
negie Tech in the seasons finale,
proves this. Hargaden took his
share of shots early in the first
half, but was decidedly off form.
He soon quit and for the balance
OF the half, contented himself
with passing to mates.
Then in the second half, with
Georgetown putting on it's vic
torious rally, he proved his ability
as a money player and scored
six rapid points during the closing
moments, assuring victory.
During his first year, Coach
Freddie Mesmer believed Eddie
would be more valuable to the
team as as "assister" Zone who
passes to others for shots). George
town lost several games before
Freddie gave Hargaden the word
to take more shots. He did with
success.
Stydahar Leads League
During the season just com.
pleted, Eddie was second in scor-
ing in the Eastern intercollegiate
Basketball Conference, compiling
80 points in 10 games. The av-
erage of 9 points per game is
slightly below his seasons record.
Joe Stydahar, of West Virginia,
who flashed brilliantly after last
years mediocre season, led the
pack with an even 10 points for
10 games. Jerry O'Connor and
Jack Crowley, of Georgetown, fin.
iShed sixth and tenth, respec.
lively, with u and SO games.

TALLAHASSEE, March 81
Nathan Mayo, agriculture COM

not going to attempt to enforce
the anti-arsenic law"
Last fall the agriculture de-

TANK CAR WITH
FISH SPECIMENS
GOES TO CHICAGO
DR.. MAYER AND ASSOCIATES
LEAVE YESTERDAY; COL
LECTION MADE FOR SHEDD
AQUARIUM

With over 1900 fish from the
waters around Key West the Tank
Car Nautilus, of the Shedd Aqua
rum, left over the East Coast
yesterday in Train rs for Chicago.
DR.. NJ. V. Mayer, in charge of
the car and work, told The Citi-
zen that while he had not secur-
ed as many fish as he expected,
due to the heavy winds, he was
we'll satisfied with results.
His satisfaction was derived
from having been able to secure
number of fish that were very
rare and which had never been
taken from Key West before.
Among the rarities were two
mOrays which he was not able to
classify as he had never in all of
his experience seen any like them.
The biological library on the car
contained neither pictures nor de-
scriptions applicable to the speci-
mems.
Three beautiful snake cells were
in the tanks. Eels of this kind
are exceptionally rare, said the
doctor, and he was highly elated
over them.
There is also one of the finest
collections of sea anemones ever
taken in the waters. These gOr-
geously colored polyps at the bot
tom of the tank were comparable
only to garden of beautiful
flowers, decorated with all the
cOlors of the prism.
Among the curiosities that are
not commonly taken were several
spiny boxfish, butterfly blennies
and a number of others that may
or may not live to reach the
Other specimens in the collec-
ton are four queen angels, IL
French angels. number of black
and about 25 white angels of
spadefish.
While not as large in number
as heretofore, the collection is of
greater scientific value than
usually taken by a collector in the
short space of time the Nautilus
was here.

MONROE COUNTY
WILL GET ROAD
FUNDS, STATED

BY STATE ROAD DEPART
MENT FOR MAINTENANCE
DURING YEAR 1884

Monroe county will be allowed
$126,527.90 by the state road de-
partment for the maintenance of
roads, bridges and ferry landings
during the year 1884.
This information, which was
published in The Citizen of jan
uary %, was verified over long
distance telephone last night by
Colonel w. P. Mooty in converse
ton with Representative William
". Albury.
How the conversation came
about was caused by the informal
ton sent out from Tallahassee sew
eral days ago listing the names of
counties that would receive funds
for work and maintenance show
ing nothing for Monroe.
The last budget meeting of the
State Road Department was held
in 0cala yesterday and it was de-
cided to ascertain, if possible, the
exact status of this county with
reference to the allotment.
Mr.. Albury called Colonel
Mooty, who is member of the
State Road Board from the Fourth
Congressional District, and the
colonel advised that the amount
for Monroe is today the same as
when he and Engineer r. L. Bow
visited Key West and met with the
county commissioners on Janu-
airy "a.
1t was at this meeting that the
matter of the bridge from Key
West to Stock Island was discuss
ed and it was announced that
new bridge was to be constructed
that will be approximately six
feet higher than the one now in
use.

TO VINSON BILL

WASHINGTON. March 27.-
President Roosevelt signed the
Vinson bill authorizing construc-
ton of the navy up to full treaty
strength and he also proposed
further reductions in naval
strength in the 1885 disarmament
parley as he signed the measure.
The president said because
there is some misrepresentation of
the fact in relation to the Vinson
bill it is only right that its main
provisions be made wholly clear.
This is not law for the con-
struction Of a single additional
United States warship.
1.-THE general purpose of the bin
is solely statement by congress
that it approves the building of
our navy up to and not beyond the
strength in various types of ships

Smiles And Silence Rule France
Papa Doumergue Upses Tradition By flushing Cabinet
By NJ. K. WHITELEATHER
NY Associated PrcSal

Wy AASOGtNACO
PARIS. March 27.-A "dicta-
torship" of silence and smiles has
France under it's thumb.
Papa" Doumergue, premier ex-
traordinary, has subdued political
strife with his honest smile, pithy
phrases and good old rule of early
to bed and early 10 rise.
Agitators Admonished
He has been backed solidly
since he plastered walls with a
three-sentence appeal as soon as
he had patched a ministry from
discordant political elements. His
posters said:
ITO the French people: Citi-
zens:
II have been called to form a
government of truce, pacification
and justice.
"This government has been
constituted.
I'm its name. | invite you in
your turn to do your duty in re-
nouncing all agitation and in
placing above all the interest of
France and the republic"
Hot Blood Cooled
This language cooled overhead
ed blood and cleared the streets
of rioters.
His next step was a daring one
for France. He told his minis
tiers to keep their mouths shut.
Thereupon the ministry of smiles
and silence was born.
The silence rule hit hard at
two stars of the Doumergue cast:
EdOuard Herriot and Andre Tar
dieu, minister without portfolio.
Each reGshes his "wisecracks."
But not a word has come from
either.
The 71-year-old ex-president.
who thought he had washed his
hands of public life when he left
the Elysee Palace in 1881. lives a
farmers life in Paris. He has
seen no reason to change for he
considers that he is in the capital
for only short time.
He and Nine. Doumergue "put
up" at hotel. Nine. Doumergue
prefers this suite overlooking the
Tuileries gardens to the sump-
tuous living quarters of the for
eign office.
The premier rises at $50 a. M,
and goes through physical exer-
cises. He arrives at his office at
8 O'Clock. When luncheon time
comes. he recrosses the Seine to
his hotel and enjoys the meal with
his wife.
He leaves his office at s p. M,
and nothing prevents him from
going to bed at 10 O'Clock without
dining. His evening meal is fruit
eaten in his arm chair.
