Likes Atmosphere at Home
After Colorado Jaunt.
Resumes Hard Work,

Convinced that playing again at
home will be duck soup after success
fully combating the rarified atmos-
phere of Colorado, George Washing
tons Colonials showed plenty of pep
today in their first real workout in
preparation for Davis -Elkins on Friday
night.
While giving his regulars a day off
from hard work yesterday to get rid
Of their train legs, Coach Bill Rein
hart took time out to explain that that
Colorado altitude is something more
than a myth. After playing three or
four minutes, you're just dead-tired.' .
Relnhart said his players told him
Wen sure appreciate Washington S
climate when we get back"
If that is the case, g. W. should run
up a big score on Davis -Elkins unless
Reinhart is aware of too many scouts
in the stands, in which case he may
order the Colonials to hold back
Frankly, though, George Washington
fans have little to fear that their IA
vorltes will not enter the Mississippi
game a week hence undefea ted and
united.
The Colonials have drawn bigger
crowds than any other local college
eleven this year, and, having brought
home the bacon from the West, may
anticipate another large turnout Fri
day night. Interest in the student
body is said to be at high pitch.

Despite an attack that has given

MARYLAND FEARS
CAVALIERS BACKS.
Gillette Leads Fine Array
for Saturdays Battle
at College Park.

Maryland sees Virginia's great array
of backs, led by the powerful and
varsatile Jim Gillette, as the greatest
menace in their annual grid battle at
College Park Saturday
1t doesn't look for the Virginia line
to be much better, if any stronger,
than that of Western Maryland, which
the Terps went over, around and
through for two winning touchdowns
in the last half last week at Baltimore.
Has Wealth of Players.
However, Virginia has a fine line,
with plenty of replacements. and it
SO far exceeds Western Maryland in
quantity and quality of backs, both
on offense and defense, that there
really is no comparison.
Tall, rangy, big and fast, Gillette
can do everything, backing up his
great attacking ability with de-
fensive worth that seldom is seen in one
package of football players And there
are 8 or 10 more Cavalier backs who
would look good on any squad.
Virginia will invade College Park
hungry for victory and points and
the Terps may look for no mercy.
Maryland holds an edge of 8 win,
to Virginia's 4 and 2 ties in their IA
past meetings, and the Cavaliers have
scored only 7 points in the last four

Terps.

FOLLOWING ELLENDER
Says He's Ready to Talk Long
Time to Defeat "Un.American
legislation"
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Democratic Leader Barkley served
notice in the Senate today that he
would call for night sessions BEGIN
ming Monday in an effort to break the
f1libuster against the anti-lynching
bill.
Senator Barkley took the floor at
the outset of today's session, the
fourteenth which the Senate has de-
voted to the anti-lynching bill, to
warn that other measures were COM
ing along rapidly and that disposition
must be made Of the pending bill.
He did not urge the Senate either
to pass or reject the anti-lynching
measure, merely declaring that he
wanted it out Of the way. But, despite
his statements, the filibuster went on.
Senator Bilbo, Democrat, of Missis-
sippi started a speech against the
measure with the assertion that he
was willing to speak 80 days or 60
days or longer" to defeat this un-
thinkable, un-American and undemo.

he once talked 10 hours a day for six
months and was ready to do it again.

that for the sake Of the preservation
OF the scheme of our great American
Government, for the protection Of the
wives, mothers. daughters and sweet
hearts Of Dixie" he was willing to talk
every day of 1888 to prevent the bills
enactment.
He said he took no stock in declara-
tions that If the bill were "crammed
down the throats" of Southern men
and women, the Southerners would
desert the Democratic party.
Some of our Northern brethren and
Northern Democrats may desert u.s."
he said They may desert the prin-
clpies for which the Democratic party
has stood for more than a century, but,
Is TO me and mine, We are still going
to be Democrats"
Senator Bilbo said the people Of the
South had for years opposed lynching
and done all In their power to reduce
the number until in 1897 there we're
only eight such crimes in the whole
United States. He said passage of the
bill would increase lynchings through
out the Nation and should properly
be designed "a bill to increase lyuch-
ings instead OF preventing mob vio-
lence."

sage by the Senate within 10 days.

Senator Connally, Democrat, of

sions would be held "as a gesture" in

that the Southerners would have

SHIP PLOT BOMB
TAKEN FROM BAY
Discovered After Prisoner
Tells of Plan to Blow

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, Jan. 21-Customs agents
investigating an asserted plot to blow
up the Japanese liner Hiye Maru an
nounced today bomb had been fished
from Elliott Bay near the spot where
the ship had been moored.
The recovered article was brought
for examination to the Great Northern
dock, under which one man lost his
life and another fell into police hands,
after failure of an alleged attempt to
plant the explosive aboard the vessel.
Police Capt. Marshall Scrafford said
George Partridge, 22-year-old Cana
dian, reported "Orientals" had en-
ployed him and Rolphe M. Forsyth.
school teacher of Vancouver, British
Columbia, to dynamite the ships. He
said he did not know the nationality
Of the "Orientals."
Forsyth drowned in an attempt,
Partridge said, to blow up the Japa-
nese liner Hiye Maru, first objective
of the plot.
Nude Body Is Found.
He said he last saw Forsyth early
yesterday splashing into the numbing
waters of Elliott Bay, pushing a rail-
road tie to which was lashed q suit
case loaded with explosives.
"1'll do it or die in the attempt"
Partridge said Forsyth told him be-
fore swimming toward the Hiye Maru,
berthed at pier 40. Forsyth's nude
body. clad only in a life jacket, was
found short time later by a Japa-
nese seaman. A coroner's inquest
decided Forsyth drowned.
Partridge, arrested as a box car
thief, unfolded the weird bombing
story when Forsyths body was found.
At noon he said the Hiye Maru was
to be blown up by a time bomb set
for 1:30 am. yesterday A mad scram-
BILE ensued as police rushed to the
pier to warn persons away. ...-.
The Hiye Maru was moved 300 yards
from the wharf. There was no ex-
plosion. Divers failed to find any trace
OF the bomb-laden suit case.
Harbor shipping was warned. Ex-
perts said most modern dynamite
would still be explosive 48 hours after
exposure to water. Partridge said he
believed the suit case contained dyna-
mite.
Partridge said Forsyth offered him
81 900 to aid him. ,
Clint Harley, Seattle business man
who identified Forsyth's body, de-
scribed him as an "idealist" who was
raised in an atmosphere of complete
refinement" and was cultured gen.
tleman of the finest type superb
athlete and gifted scholar"
Code Key Is Found.
In Forsyth's billfold was found a
code key, using numbers, letters and

II PoPolo Boasts
OF Italians Part
In Spanish Var
By the Associated Press,

MILAN, Italy, Jan. 2l.-Premier
Mussolini's newspaper, II Popolo
dItalia, declared today that perform
ance of Italian troops in the capture Of
Santander, Spain, last August was the
answer to those doubling military
qualities Of the Italian people.
The editorial, which informed sources
ascribed to II Duce himself, referred
to an article by the French Gen.
Maurice Duvall In the Revue de Paris
crediting Italians with having played
the main role in capture of Santander
from Spanish government troops.
This explicit recognition of the
part played by the italian command
and Legionnaires in the battle of
Santander is important and worth
consideration by friends and enemies
who frequently have been cavilins
over military qualities of the italian
people" II Popolo d'1talia said.
Friends and enemies in every lati-
tude and longitude, we say to YOU
and the history Of the past IS years
confirms it-that these qualities are
OF the highest order and perchance
you may come to find it out"
