Charges that a $3,000,000 football

cause nobody could win it, were
denied today by an attorney for

apoliS, president Of the association,
told the 5000 delegates that Presi-
dent Roosevelt frequently has ex-
pressed what amounts to a hatred
of the legal profession.
"One must believe this seeming
hatred arises out OF the fact that
the lawyers are the ones whom he
finds greatest difficulty in con-
trolling" he said.
James A. Reed, former Democa-
tic senator from Missouri, expand
ed the Roosevelt theme in a
welcoming address in which he
castigated those who swear to up
hold the constitution while making
mental reservations to evade it.
The constitution, Reed said, was
framed by men who knew that re-
gardless of impulses of right and
wrong, no individual nor any group
of officials can be trusted with
unlimited power.
They understood as you under
stand that power feeds on power.
Equally well they knew that the
will of a majority of citizens might
become as oppressive as the de-
crees of a single despot," Reed
said. s1sMal

MISSING RACE
BOAT SIGHTED
SAFE AT SEA

LONDON, Sept 81 (UP)- The
British tank steamship Cheyenne
wirelessed today that the yacht En-
deavourI, missing at sea, was off
Fastnet. Ireland.
Lloyd's agency received from the
Cheyenne the news that Endeavour
l, torn from her tow on her way
back to Britain from New port. RI,
was safe.
Yachtsmen of two continents
and the families of the 18 men
aboard-had waited anxiously for
news of Endeavour l. Hope that she
was safe rose last week, and
was quickly dashed. A report was
circulated, and supsJantiated by
Lloyd's, that the British steamship
AmaStra had sighted Endeavour, in
mid-sea. Then the Amastras cap
tain wirelessed that he had seen
nothing of Endeavour
1t was the first time, according
to authorities, that Lloyd's had
ever put out a false" report of a
ships escape from an ocean grave.
But it proved today that Lloyd S
record was intact still, for many
persons had believed that an au-
thentic report of The yachts safety
had been garbled so that the sight
ing ships name was given incor-
rectly.
Endeavour I, unsuccessful chal-
lenger for the Americas cup in 1884,
went to the United States last sum-
mer as companion to her successor,
Endeavour H. which was defeated
also.
She left Newport Sept. IL in tow
of the motor yacht Viva II. The
steel tow line parted in a storm
$40 miles off Newport Sept. 13. Viva
II and United States coast guard
vessels searched vainly for her.
