 Undaunted, the Columbians rais. ed the beat and, with a scant 100 yards to go, went out in front of the Tigers by 8 foot. They held this ad. vantage until the very last pull from the finish when Princeton drew level ,and the boat crossed tho line bow to bow.
 Princeton Win Freshmen
 Freshman honors went to Prince. ton, with Pennsylvania second by 6 length, and Columbia third by si, lengths. The time was $50.
 Columbia's 150-jounders won the curtain raising lightweight race over the Henley distance, defeating Princeton, its only competitor, by 8 length in the good time of 6:l5. Al of the other races were rowed over 8 mile and three-quarters course. ! Get Of Together
 The shells were off together in the varsity event. Princeton, hitting a 34 beat, was slightly ahead at the quarter mile pole with Penn and Columbia, rowing at 36, on even terms few yards back. As they moved past the mil flag Pennsyl- vania passed Princeton and took a half-length lead. Columbia, despite a beat of 38, was a length to the bad. From this point, Pennsylvania slowly but surely pulled ahead from the tiring Princeton shell, and the spent Columbia boatload.
 Columbia finished five lengths be- hind Princeton, and not once dur ing the race did 1t resemble the fine eight which conquered navy last week.
 The regatta enjoyed perfect weather. The sky was cloudless, and a warm sun beat down on the thou sands of spectators who lined the west bank of the Harlem, from the start to the finish near the Polo grounds. The Harlem was smooth and remarkably free of the usual debris-crates, grapefruit rinds and funk,

New York, April 25--(UP)-Dis- trict Attorney William F. x. Geog. han theatened today to bring charges of sheltering a fugitive against unnamed N. Jersey officials he believes are hiding Ellts H. Park CT, Jr., accused of Kidnapping and assaulting Paul H. Wendell. Geog- hal! predicted that five or six more persons would be indicted for the Wendell Kidnapping, which with Wendel's confession of the murder of the Lindbergh baby, climaxed the fight of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for life. Some of them may be New Jersey officials" he said. will any of them be elected officials?" he war asked. I'm not saying elected officials at this time," he answered. T don't know yet where this case is going.
 Charges Against Him
 The charge against Parker, 26, and four other men indicted with him Thursday is that they kidnap- ed Wendell in New York, and tor tured him for 10 days in the base- ment of New York house to ex- tort his confession of the Lind berUh Kidnapping. They took him from New York to the home of Parker's father, detective chief of Burlington County, N. J., he said. The elder Parker, Gov. Harold G. Hoffman's lieutenant in attempts to prove that Hauptman had been framed" in the Lindbergh case, took him to sanitarium for feeble minded men and then delivered him to Mercer county police, who ac- cused him of the Lindbergh mur- der. Wendell then repudiated his confession. A grand jury dismissed the police charge.
 Geoghan said he found it inter esting" that young Parker eluded four shadowing state policemen just before New York police asked New Jersey authorities to arrest him. Col. Norman Schwarzkopf, chief of New Jersey state police, had main- tained 8 watch over Parker since Tuesday, Geoghan said.

 Washington, April 25-(UP)- President Roosevelt's corporate tax bill will create a fresh crop of 125 to 150 transient millionaires, treas ury estimates submitted to Con- gress revealed today.
 At the same time 1t was expected that the bill would increase the number of federal taxpayers by some l91,000 persons.
 The expected millionaires were the huge cut the treasury will take out of the $424, 100000 that they are expected to receive in extra dividend under the new tax bill.
 When taxes are deducted, most of them no longer will be in the million dollar class.
 The boost in the millionaire crop is expected to result from heavy dividend declarations by corpora tions seeking to avoid high taxes imposed if a large share of earn AI6o dIC ICIdulCO.
 No Exact Estimate
 The treasury has not prepared an exact estimate of the number of new millionaires to be created un- der the new tax system.
 It did, however, prepare tables showing what would happen if corporations distributed 100 per cent of their earnings. As now drawn, corporations are expected to disburse an average of 70 per cent of their earnings. On the 100 per cent distribution basis, the treasury estimated 2l2 millionaires would be added to the present total of 86. It estimated that the average net income of the millionaires would rise from $2,- 150,000 to $2,666,000.
 On the same basis, the number in the $50O,O00 to $l,00O,000 class would jump from 212 to SIP. Cor responding income gains would be shown down the line with an in- crease, for example, of 15,233 in the present 40,350 persons now in the $25,0 to $50,000 income class.
 Cut Into Large Incomes
 The transient nature of the millionaires was revealed by appli- cation of existing tax rates to these incomes. These parts, now in effect and now to be changed under the new plan, cut deeply into large in- comes.
 Figured on a net basis, taxes now take $641, 1000 of the first $1,000, ,000 earned. The total going to the treasury out of the second $l,000,- . GOO is $730, ,O00 and above 5000, 900, the treasury receives $750, ,000 out of each $l,000,000.
 Thus an income of about $4,000,- GOO is necessary if the taxpayer is to have $l,000.0o0 left after taxes.
 While boosting the number of mil- lio::.::ireS. the bill Is expected also to add largely to the number of fed eral taxpayers.
 lost of the estimated $658, 900. .000 in new revenue from individual taxpayers under plan would would come from the fairly well-to-do and the wealthy.
 The nation has an estimated 12,- 100000 stockholders, but at present only 2,700,000 federal individual tax payers.
 Dividends from stock hereafter would be taxed under normal aa well as surtax rates.

Clarity Rules

Other changes were largely in the
matter of Interpretation. The rule
on face guarding will be rewritten to
make it clearer and the rules regula-
ting the work of scorers and timers
will be changed to permit electric
timing.
A note will be added to the rule
which will clarity the question of
whether a man commits foul if he
touches a ball in his opponents hand
and at the some time makes contact
with his fingers or hand.
The blocking rule was discussed
at great length and the committee
agreed, as the coaches had, to adhere
strictly to the rule as written.
The committee put over until next
year decision on the matter of wheth-
eli or not the ball should be continued
to be put in play by center jump after
a successful field goal.

Bad Weather

Inclement weather, the bane of all
spring sports and particularly base
ball, has been taking it's usual toll.
Up here at Washington College we
were trained out" of our first two ball
games and probably will feel the same
sting again several times during the
season.
That, perhaps, has had lot to do
with the growing lack of interest in
past years in college baseball. The
season is short and when unreasonable
weather prevails there is little time
for practice or playing.

Rules Changed

Slight changes recommended by the
National Association of Basketball
Coaches, were made in basketball
rules for next season by the National
Basketball Rules Committee, meeting
recently.
The mentors suggested five changes
in all. Three were adopted, one was
tabled and the fifth was voted down.
The changes instituted at the sug-
gestion of the coaches are:
1. To place restraining circle six
feet in radius around the center circle
of the court to prevent over-crowd-
ing at the center jump.
2. To permit substitutes to COM
municate with their teammates i'm
mediately after reporting to the
scorer.
8. To permit four times out" dur
ing a game instead of three.
The coaches had suggested an eight
foot circle at the center mark but the
committee thought one OF SIX 1eet
would be ample.
The suggestion tabled was one to
have jump balls to take place In the
nearest of three circles. This will be
experimental with during the next
season and the results brought before
the meeting next year.
The suggestion voted down had to
do with a modification of the three
second rule to permit an offensive
player without the ball to stand in
the back part of the foul circle as
long as he wished. The committees
opinion was that the three second rule
had worked out well and should not
be changed.
