Norfolk Streak Broken
By Celtic Gridmen
Special Dispatch to the Star.


NORFOLK, Nov. 21.-Norfolk
Shamrocks are leading the Dixie
Pro Football League with five wins,
one loss and a tie, having had their
chances of finishing undefeated
spiked yesterday when st. Mary's
Celtics of Alexandria pushed over
a touchdown near the end Of the
second quarter to win 60.
The Celtics, who previously had
not won a league game, capitalized
on a pair of lucky breaks to score.
Norfolk plays the Washington

ever, Sammy felt free to tackle
again and that tackle from be-

the 4-yard line when it looked
as If he were going for certain
touchdown was a beauty. Natur-
ally I am pleased at the spirit OF
the Redskins for they were just
as eager to play yesterday as If
they were going up against the
Giants two weeks hence. Our
down-field blocking, somewhat
weak all year, was much i'm.

all that could, be desired.

Joe is absolutely right about that.
There is nothing in the Constitu-

their own free WILL and very ac-

could make it hard for the plump
Jerseyman if they cared to, but they
don't. They are good neighbors.
There was something about the

which Matte Mann abandoned per-

He doesn't have to favor that
shoulder any more and in fact
hasn't had to have it taped for
two weeks, and the way he ran

he is ready to take all the hard
knocks that may be coming to

Sammy is also ready to play

alistS last night were sentenced to
five years each in Atlanta peniten-
tiary after their conviction in fed
eral court on a charge of attempt
ed murder of U. S. District Judge
Robert A. Cooper.
The jury delibreated only ten
minutes.
Two other nationalists who
pleaded guilty to similar charge
last Friday were sentenced to two
years and six months each in At
lanta. Their sentences had been
deferred until completion of their
companions trial which began to-
day. ;.
The defendants included Julio
Pinto Gambia, acting president of
the Nationalist party, Juan Ala
mo, a graduate pharmacist, and
Raimundo Diaz, former San
Juan policeman.
The defense offered no wit
nesses nor did it cross-examlne
government witnesses. No appeal
was announced nor was any Glenn
ency asked other than that the
seven months spent awaiting trial
be deducted from the sentences.
Judge Cooper was fired on from
ambush last June 8 while driving
his automobile home from the
courtroom. The cars windshield
was shattered but the jurist es-
caped unhurt.

NEW DEAL OBTAINS
WIDER TAX POWER
Continued from page one

The Du Pont decisions impor-
lance lies in it's connection with
the treaSury'S drive to plug loop
holes in the revenue laws through
which some wealthy taxpayer le-
gally have deprived the govern
ment of billions of dollars. The
dispute began when the internal
revenue bureau ruled that the AL
mours Securities, Inc. was a per-
sonal holding company formed by
Alfred | Du Pont and his family
for the purpose of avoiding per-
sonal surtaxes and imposed as
sessments of S1,2S2,169 for 1881
and S7S7,652 for 1882. The as
sessments were upheld by the
fifth circuit court of appeals and
yesterday the supreme court re-
fused to review the case.
The corporation, through At
torney John w. Davis, charged
that the assessments were con-
fiscatory and contended that a
previous investigation by the gov
eminent refuted its contention
that the corporation was formed
or employed to avoid taxes.

Indy KIDNAP
STATE REWARD
MONEY SPLIT.
Hochmuth Adds to Story
at Trial: Condor Refuses
His Share in Coin

TRENTON, n. j., Jan. II. CUP
The state of New Jersey yester-
dav distributed $4,000 reward
among more than 100 persons who
spun the web Of circumstantial
evidence that sent Bruno Richard
Hauptmann to the electric chair
for the murder of ChaS. A. Lind
bergh, il.
Gov. Harold Hoffman announc-
ed the awards and then, in state
ment to newspapermen, reiterated
his belief that the crime was COM
mitted by more than one person
and that Hauptmann'S accOmpllces
are still at liberty. unsought and
unsupported.
"The action of the law enforce
ment agencies in closing the in
vsetigation with the conviction OF
Hauptmann is highly reprehensl-
ble," Hoffman said.
But even as the governor talked,
one of the persons who shared IN
the $4,000 reward - Amandus
Hochmuth, SO, veteran of the
, Franco-PruSSian war - came Tor
ward with what he said was new
evidence linking Hauptmann to
the kidnapping. Hochmuth said
that Hauptmann was proving
around Sourland mountain in New
Jersey, near the home of the Lind
berghsfi long before the actual
kidnapping. He did not mention
that fact at the trial, but did say
he saw Hauptmann riding in a
green automobile with a ladder
tied to the running board a few
hours before the Lindbergh child
was kidnapped.
The S25, 900 reward was author
lied by the New Jersey legislature
in May, 1882, to be paid "to the
person or persons instrumental IN
bringing about the arrest and con-
viction of the kidnaper and muir
derer of Charles Augustus Lind
bergh, Jr." Of the many persons
responsible for the arrest and con-
viction of Hauptmann, only one
DR.. John F. (Jafsie) Condon-de-
clined to accept any of the re-
ward. The result was that Hotf-
man, after weeks of studying va
rious claims, announced these re-
, wards:
To William Allen, Trenton ne
gro, who wandered into the woods
on Sourland mountain and acct
dentally found the Lindbergh
baby's body-S5,000. If Allen had
not found the body, the prosecu-
ton probably would have been
unable to press first-degree muir
der charges against Hauptmann
because it would have had no
Corpus delicti"; it could not
have overcome a defense conten-
ton that the child had not been
killed but was alive and well.

gasoline station in the Bronx, New
York-$7, 500. 1t was Lyle to
whom Hauptmann handed a $40
gold ransom note in payment for
five gallons or gasoline. Lyle, sus-

HERO WORSHIP
OF WAR LORDS

GIorification
By EARL H. LEAF
J1,;toJ PRESS Staff Correspondent

SHANGHAI. Jan. II. (UP)-m
"GIorifying the Chinese genera
is an cold Chinese custom" that
has gone out of fashion in the
present Sino-Japanese conflict, as
the entire nation and its scores Of
war lords fight shoulder to shout
der for national existence.
Personalities have been sub
merged entirely, with the eXcep-
tion of General and Madame
Chang Ka-shek and few COM
manders whose names flash across
the news pages for a few days
and disappear. This unusual stu
alton is the result of government
policy and personal preference Of
the army commanders themselves.
Consequently, newspaper CORE
spondents have found it impossi-
bic to find any subjects for glorl-
fication. The Chinese people, who
love to worship heroes, also miss
an outtanding hero in this war.
GEN. MA RECALLED
The hostilities in Manchuria
during 1881 produced Gen. Ma
Chan-shan, noted for his dropping
whiskers as well as military Prov
ess. Gen. Ma was catapulted from
obscurity as a small-potato bandit
chief to world fame as the de-
fender of Manchulla.
The Sino-Japanese hostilities
around Shanghai in the following
year was personified by lean Gen.
Tsai Tink-kai and his 10Th route
army, until his name became syn
onymous with Chinese resistance
to the Japanese.
In the present war, however,
not one name has emerged as a
great hero to satisfy the whims of
the hero worshipers. There have
been heroes aplenty in the fight
