Foot Ball Players
On State Pay Roll,
Coz. Darcy Says
Makes Statement in Re.
ply to Ohio State Off.
cial's Plea for Funds.
BY the Associated Press.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, October H.
Gov. Martin L. Davey asserted today
that most of the members of Ohio
State University's foot ball team were
on the State pay roll.
The executive. in a prepared state
ment, referred to assertions by uni
versity spokesmen that ii would have
to close down within Q week unless
it were provided funds for mainte-
nance as "one of the most amusing
of all the frantic efforts that have
been made to build up a gaunt spectre
Of shutdown"
University officials said earlier in
the week that only $3.50 remained in
the maintenance fund. When the TOO
tons of coal that remained we're ex-
hausted, they said, the university would
have to close down. II the university
should close, foot ball team members
would be ineligible to play in Big Ten
competition.
Gov. Davey asserted there is $4,000
available to purchase coal for the
school.
"As far as the foot ball season Is
concerned, We are extremely interested
in its success. We recognize the fact
that foot bail has become the supreme
purpose Of higher education" the
executive stated.
I'VE have certainly done our part
because we have most of the foot ball
team on the State pay roll and we
are exceedingly anxious for most
successful season. We want them to
secure the championship by all means
and have co-operated to the fullest
extent to make this possible Our
financial cooperation, our fervent
good wishes and fondest hopes and
even our prayers are with them"
Gov Davy did not list the players
he said were on the State pay roll.
L. w. st. John, Ohio State Uni
versity athletic director, said:
II do not care to enter into any
argument with the Governor. OF
course. some Of the players are on the
State pay roll, but they are working
for the money they receive, and their
eligibility Is not endangered by such
work."

Ceremony Delayed Six
Days to Comply With
British Latu.

I. w. (Chip) Robert, Assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury and former
Atlanta architect, and Mrs. Evelyn
Walker, socially prominent here and
in New York, were married today In
Caxton Hall Registry at London, Eng
land.
The couple intended originally to
be married October 5, but the cere-
mony was delayed six days to fulfill
the British law requiring Is days
residence, the Associated Press re-
ported.
Those attending the wedding in
cluded Lord Beaverbrook, British pub
Usher; the brides parents, Ben r.
Smith. New York broker, and Mon
tagu Piesse Of the Standard Oil Co.
A reception was held at the couples
hotel before they left on q wedding
trip to Berlin and Paris.
They went to Berlin by airplane
and, after a short stay at the Adlon
Hotel in the German capital, planned
to fly to Paris. where they expected
to stay at the Hotel Crillon until they
sail for the United States on the S. s.
Majesic October 16.
The marriage was rumored when
Roberts first wife, Mrs. Louise Ayers
Robert, obtained a divorce in Reno,
New, September IS. At the time Mrs.
Robert asked custody of the two minor
children.
Robert came here from Atlanta in
1888 to accept his Federal post. He
and his first wife celebrated their sill
yer wedding anniversary here in Feb

but carried them around the rest
OF the trip in the hat. When the
time came to pay a small lunch
con bill, he unDrapped the paper
and paid out $1.25, but continued
to use the hat as a cash register.
That was Huey's casual appreciation
Of money. What he wanted was
power. Money was only an incidental
but powerful implement to that end.
More Indictments Seen.
The straw hat bookkeeping system
is what has confused the Government
agents trying to break up the Long
dictatorship by income tax indict-
ments. Nevertheless, those on the in
side here have been tipped that a
half dozen more indictments have
been ready for a week to be handed
down by Federal authorities. The
highest in the Long camp are expected
to be named in these charges. They
have been delayed apparently to per-
NIT Federal agents to see II they can
get any additional information out Of
the current trial of the Long lieuten-
ant, Abe Shushan.
The Federals have been limiting for
two years that they were going to
indict Long, but never did. The in
side reason is supposed to be that
they dug up . $1,000 or $1,000 case
against him and were afraid to prose-
cute because the amount was not
sufnciently damaging. They are
sponsoring q rumor now that they had
. real case against Long IN this latest
batch Of expected indictments.
