TOUGH TEXAS TILT
FOR SKINS LOOMS
Southwest's Pride in Own
Grid Game Will Inspire
Stars, FIaherty Feels.
By RAY FLAHERTY,

>ooSH' SnhuplOH REDSKINS.
DALLAS, Sept. 5.-Strange as it
may seem. expect the all-stars who
play us here tonight to have more
f1re than the team which beat us
In Chicago. The reason Is that two
thirds Of this Texas squad are resi-
dents Of the Southwest and there is
a native pride in the type of foot
ball being played In this section of
the country that inspires players to
give their all.
I expect Coaches Jimmy Kits and
Fred Thomson have said something like
this to the players who will oppose
us: you fellows have got to do as
we'll As the All-stars did in Chicago
or you won't be regarded as being as
good as the Chicago bunch. And we
all know Southwestern football Is as
good As any in the Nation" That's
what they hope to prove tonight any
way.
Even In Man-Power.
In one respect, however, the Red
skins will not be at the decided dis
advantage they were in Chicago. That
Is because Dallas onicials have limited
their squad to practically the same
number Of players we have on our
squad and there won't be that in
ability on our part to match reserve
strength with reserve strength 1T Sol
dier Field when the All-stars had a
squad of IS.
As I have told you before, we plan
to use mostly . running attack to-
night, but our plans for the first
part OF the game will depend upon
several factors. II the wind is with
US in the first quarter, we will play
q Kicking game in the early going
and try to keep the stars deep in
their own territory. This will work
70 our advantage in two ways: I don't
think the stars can make much head
way against our line and we stand
good chance to intercept their passes
II they try the aerial lanes. We have
worked on our pass defense since
last wednesday night and feel it is
much improved. Another thing about
iettlng the stars have the ball deep
In their territory in the early going.
Our line can rest more on the de-
tense and thus can pace its energy
better for the entire game.
Looks to Running Attack.
II the wind Is against us or there
Is no wind at all, we will start out
with our planned running attack. I
am sure that fellows like George
Karamatic and Dick Tuckey are 90
Ing to break away several times dur
ing the evening and when a scoring
opportunity presents itself Sammy
Baugh can go in and throw a couple
OF passes
think we're going to be q decidedly
improved team over what we were
IN Chicago. OF course, we'll miss
Riley Smith calling signals and we'd
like to be able to use Don Irwin and
Ed Justice, but we'd rather have them
IN shape for Philadelphia next Sun
day than win this exhibition tonight.

NEW YORK, July ia new bull

Extreme gains of 81 to more than So
in leading issues were cut to half in
the last hour. and few issues dipped
under yesterdays final prices.
An early rise in steel stocks, with
fresh buying inspired in part by con-
tinued advances in steel scrap prices
at Chicago, was about Cancelled, as
Wall Streets recent rumors Of the
possibility of an early wage reduction
were pretty thoroughly scotched.
Trading was in large volume, espe-
cially in the early dealings as yester-
day afternoons advance attracted
heavy overnight buying orders. Trans
actions Appropriated 2,6O0, 900 shares.
The upswing in stocks yesterday
afternoon, carrying price averages
close to peak of the midyear bull mar
ket reached July 2, encouraged traders
who had been keeping to the sidelines

from home in Tacoma, Wash. De-
cember u. 1886. The 1o-year-old
boys body ,Das tound IS days later

determined efforts OF both State
authorities and Federal Bureau OF
Investigation. the case has re-
ndtned an unsolued mystery.
BY the Associated Press.
TACOMA, Wash, July l3.-Chief
William Cole of the Washington High
way Patrol said today he was con-
vinced . man Of many aliases, who
confessed" the Mattson kidnapping
yesterday, was "a mental case and had
no part In the crime"
Cole said the man, who gave his
names as Clarence White, Clarence
Thorp, Clarence Mead and Frank o.
son, would not be charged with the
kidnapping and staying OF 10-year-old
Charles Matson, but probably would be
given a sanity hearing.
Cole reached this decision, he said,
after four days of almost constant
questioning, during which the man
changed his statements about the kid
naping dozen times and involved
several persons who were later found
to have alibis.
Cole said the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation had taken part in the ques-
tioning, but expressed no further in
terest in the man.
Description Tallies.
Cole, who announced Olson's con-
fession last night, said the prisoner s
description tailed closely with that OF
the man sought for the abduction, but
that many portions of his story did not
check with known facts of the case.
He refused to outline them.
Olson was arrested last Friday near

Administrator Nathan Straus of the
United States Housing Authority pre-
dicted confidently today that ground
would be broken here this fall, possibly
by Thanksgiving Day. on the $15.0o0.-

ing program for the District.
Mr.. Straus discussed the District OF
Columbia program at the final press
conference before his departure on a
tour to inspect housing projects In IL
cities, beginning in New York on July
18 and ending in Los Angeles August
2, after which he will take brief va
cation to Hawaii.
He explained he was "very much en-
couraged" over the prograss which
John Ihlder. executive onicer Of
the Alley Dwelling Authority, has
made in shaping the local hous-
ing program, adding that the lat
ter had conferred not only once but on
a number of occasions with U. S. H. A.
oficials. He has given directions to
the U. S. H. A. staff, he said, to lend
every possible technical assistance to
the local authority.
"The entire responsibility for the
progress of the program from now on
is the local authority" Mr.. Straus
added. How fast it moves Is entirely
up to Mr.. Ihlder."
There is no reason, If Mr.. 1hlder
goes after it right. that he can't start

marked.
Cities Programs Examined.

had gone over the program OF num-
Der Of cities with his personal staff.

explained that Washington was among

The Government stepped up its
spending pace today to the record
peacetime average Of $24, 800, 900 . day
ordered by President Roosevelt. This
is $3,613,0o0 a day more than last
years average.
The President revised his January
budget estimates for the fiscal year
which began July in order to account
for the emergency relief and public
works programs. He calculated the
Treasury would collect only IS for
every 50 it spent, piling up deficit
Of about $4,000, ,000, 900.
For relief alone, he said, $2.135,-
600, 900 would be needed-enough to
support 100000 persons on w. P. A.
rolls until next spring.
Mr.. Roosevelt indicated a belief that
business would improve enough to
taper of the relief load in March.
He estimated, however. that $780,
000, 900 must be voted by Congress to
carry relief expenditures from March
l to next July /. 1t appropriated funds
for only the first eight months of the
fiscal year.
Salient estimates in the revised
budget broke many records, including:
Public debt-To rise from current
$37, zoo, ,00O, 900 to all-time high Of
SAC. $50, 900 900 by June 30. 1889
Expenditures-To increase $1,319,-
100000 above last years figure to
record peacetime total Of $9,085, ,157,-
coo.
Receipts-To decrease 81 PAL ,O0O, 900
from last years total to $4,000, ,270, 900.
Deficit-To increase $2,560, ,000, 900
from last year to gross of $4.084.-
887 800. Excluding debt retirement it
would be $685., 1887 600. This was
exceeded in peacetime only in 1896,
when the soldiers bonus was paid.
Borrowing-Between $2,100, ,O00, 900
and $2,805 100000 to be borrowed
from the public this year, compared
with a net decrease of $377, ,OO0, 900
