COTTON PARES
EARLY LOSSES

NEW YORK, March % G.N.sJ.
The cotton market Steadied
around noon today recovering
portion of the opening losses but
still showing large losses.
Selling came in largely from
Liverpool and the continent as
factors not Immediately asso-
ciated with the cotton market
contributed to nervousness and
liquidation. The closing of the
Belgium exchanges and the dis
appointing results of the Anglo
German conferences were influ-
ential factors.
Trade buying, some short cov-
ering and support from commits
sion houses checked the early
decline. Intermittent liquidation
continued to come from the Far
East.

NEGRO BOYS STARRING IN
ALIENATION TOURNAMENTS
By John Thomas

Several years ago, the idea of
conducting an All-Nation basket
ball tournament was conceived and
instituted at Pillsbury Settlement
House. Although the Negro is
without a true nation, players
representing this nationality have
entered at times. This year par
ticularly strong group was organ
lied at Phyllis Wheatley. In the
first round, the Negroes drew the
Swedish team, which was favor
lite to survive the finals. Undaunt-
ed by such magnanimous predic-
tions, the Negroes fought their
way through the over-confdent
Swedes to a 1924 victory, clinched
by Frank Merriwell, last-second
free throw shot executed by Bing
Rooney. The Bohemian team was
tackled next. Trailing 20-14 going
into the third quarter, the Negroes
brought down the house by staging
a valiant rally, coming into the
lead with only two minutes left
to play. Fate, inefficient referee
ing, or what you will, decided in
the favor of the Bohemians, $3.50.
Ed Breedlove, whose height and
agility is pleasant sight, caught
the fancy of the crowd. Several
high school coaches inquired about
him, urging that he return to
school. Everyone is positive that
he possesses the ability to develop
into a sensational star. Don
Strauder, North High luminary,
was the sharpshooter, while Room
ey and Lott played strong floor
games.
At High Schools
During the past few weeks, our
boys have been doing their bit in
the high schools in the struggle to
prove the Negroes ability. At Cen
trail High, the Negroes lost a
tough game to the Norwegians, 49,

are members of the Imperial club

High, the boys booted fine lead

Lott, and Brown carried the brunt
of the attack. The Aristocrat
club contributed most of the

All of these boys belong to some

KILLER F0U N D
IN BUSINESS

JACKSON. Mich, Aug. % U.N
SO.-The tap on the shoulder
which Alexander Riban, 40, feared
for six years finally came yester-
day.
AS a result, Riban was back in
Michigan State Prison to COM
plete his life sentence as the con-
victed killer of his friend.
Riban, who served nine years
and then escaped while driving a
prison tractor as trusty, was cap
tured while operating a cobbler
shop in Indiana Harbor, Ind. He
told Warden Shean, whose tip
trapped him:
81 was afraid you would find
me some day. I didn't kill Tir.
pula. Why should I be in
prison. Tirpula was my friend"
Luca Tirpula's bullet-riddled
body was found by his wife near
the railroad tracks in 1919 in
Saginaw county. A bullet was
identified as having been fired
from his gun.
No motive was established. but
circumstantial evidence convicted
Riban in 1920.
Riban apparently lived a model
life in his Indiana Harbor cobbler
shop, and gained respect of the
neighborhood which patronized
him.

More than 500 Scouts already
are in Washington and more con-
tinue to arrive by special train,

youth came by bicycle.
Delegations are here from
China, the Philippine Islands,
California, Washington, oregon
and Idaho. More Scouts from
distant States are expected by to-
morrow. Scout executives are
making hurried plans for enter
tanning the visiting groups.
President Speaks
individuals who oppose practl'
cal, far7seeing honest community
action" are holding back the OBJ
jectives of the Constitution. Presi-
dent Roosevelt declared last night
in a radio address to the Scouts.
Throughout his six minute talk,
Mr.. Roosevelt made frequent rel
erences to the Constitution, now q
live political issue. He said:
"The success Of that COnstitu-
tiOn is dependent on the atti-
tude of mind and the degree OF
the spirit of unselfiSh cOOpera-
tiOn that can be developed in
individuals. Scouting is eSSenti-
ally and clearly a program for
the development Of that unset
fish, cooperative attitude OF
mind.
Scouting rev0lveS around,
not the theory of service to 9th
ers, but the habit of service to
others. Scouting makes the in.
dividual boy conscious of his OBJ
legations to his patrol, to his
troop, to his community, to his
State and to his nation"
URGES JOINT EFFORT
Developing the same idea, Mr..
Roosevelt said at another point:
"When you go out into life
you will come to understand
that the individual in your
community who always says I
can't or I WON'T is the indi-
vidual who by inaction or Op-
position slows up honest, prac-
tical, far-Seeing community ef-
fort, is the fellow who is hold
ing back civilization and hold
ing back the Objectives of the
Constitution Of the United
States"
Today the President took part
in ceremonies celebrating the
seventy-fifth anniversary Of the
first running of the famous Pony
Express. A parade of Scouts
from the Monument to the White
House preceded the ceremony.
The PRESIDENT was presented
with a sack of mail, carried by
Scout pony express" riders on the
trail Of the old Pony Express from

letters to the President from the
governors of seven States through
which the Pony Express trail

TREES FROM FAR EAST
SUPPLY OILS FOR PAINT
Bagilumbang Proves Rival of
Tung Tree-Both Are Grow
ing in q. S.

The bagilumbang tree, brought here
from the Philippines, may prove a
rival of the tung tree, also brought
here from the Far East. Both pro-
duce nuts that are sources of oils for
use in paint and varnish. The tung
tree is already established in Florida,
where it does well in limited area
on acid soils. The bagilumbang grows
well on limy soils as well as on acid
soils, and for that reason has a wider
area open to it in the warmer parts
Of the Gulf States.
The seeds of the bagilumbang tree
supply good drying oil very similar
to tung oil. DR.. G. S. Jameson and
r. S. Mckinley of the Bureau of
Chemistry and Soils, United States
Department of Agriculture, reported
yesterday at the meeting of the
American Oil Chemists Society at
Memphis. Bagilumbang culture has
possibilities as a farm enterprise on
limy soils where tung trees do not
flourish.
