 For a number of years Peterson worked as watchman for the Bureau of Fisheries weir at Red River, as a sideline.
 Has life on the island changed? Not much, Frank says, but the weather has. When he first went to Red River the region had snows of seven or eight feet in the winter. Now there is almost no snow and the rivers, after week or so of freeze in October, are usually open until March. Frank can't explain why the weather has become mild at Red River. but he swears it has.
 Gold, Too
 When he isn't busy doing some thing else, Frank washes gold out of the beach. All the wealth he gets by this method, however, he really earns, Frank admits.

One Hawaiian legend is that Kane
hamena III, first Christian king
of the islands, used to take his fol-
lowers into the mountains to COL
lect pill" grass with which to build
churches.
Mist Turns to Rain.
On one of these trips, the story
goes, the water supply ran out and
the king and his followers nearly
died of thirst. Whereupon the king
prayed. A mist formed on the
mountainside. Presently the mist
turned to rain and the party wa
saved. Since that time the mist
which drapes the mountains like
a grass skirt is called kauapaupili,
a name given by the king.

The most sensational moments OF
the trial came in the testimony of
two powerful lieutenants of the late
J. Henry Roraback, Connecticut's
Republican boss until his suicide in
1887.
They were Charles e. Williamson,
one of the defendants, who is being
tried by the court instead of the
jury, and Harry E. Mackenzie, who
pleaded guilty.
Williamson testified that of $58 400
the city paid for lobbying, Leary re-

quarter share each. Meetings at
which money was paid out took
place in the Crows Nest" fourth
floor room at the State Capitol, Will

Fresh Revelations

State to Question Lawyers
About Payments They

WATERBURY, Conn.,, May s.
The Waterbury fraud trial, enter
ing its sixth month with the end
not yet in sight, apparently prom
ised fresh revelations today.
While once-potent political lead
ers were testifyiag, Connecticut res
idents read thousands of words daily
as the State sought to prove that
Mayor Frank Hayes and the %
others accused, some of them off,
cials of his adm 1istration, conspired
to mH,ct the city of over $1,000, 900,
chiefly through a system Of over
payments.
Recent proceedings have been
routine, the State introducing bank
records pertaining to some of the
defendants. However, the prosecu-
ton was expected soon to question
number of lawyers about payments
they received.
The State CLAIMS that as part
of the alleged conspiracy the city
paid to contractors, auditors, city
officials and lawyers large sums for
services either unnecessary or not
performed. Many records relating
to these payments were destroyed,
the State charges.
The alleged conspiracy begar, says
the State, in 1929 when Mayor E,ayes,
a Democrat. was elected fo1 the
first of his five successive terms.
A grand jury investigation began
in the fall of 1887 after city cleo
ton Whic saw the Democratic slate
returned Office with one excep-
ton. Tht exception was Daniel j.
Leary, one # the defendants, who
lost re-ele ton as city controller by

Terps Lose Promising
Gridiron Talent in

University of Maryland's grid
squad struggled along without the
services of two prospective regulars
today as Fred Widener, veteran
blocking back. and Charlie Bowers,
200-pound sophomore end. turned in
their equipment and headed home
ward. Widener simply decided to
leave, but Bowers blossoming pig
skin career snagged on the barbed
hook of scholastic difficulties.
Their going will not vitally affect
the Terps' outlook on the approach
ing campaign, but Coach Frank
Dobson readily admits he could
have made good use of both boys.
! Bowers was regarded as a particu-
larly good prospect because of his
heft and speed. He'll be missed in
basket ball, too, for Coach Burt
Shipley had him tagged as an Al
center candidate.
Maryland will speed up work to-
day with scrimmage part of the

satisfied with the general progress,
although there are a couple of in
dividual cases receiving particular
attention. This obtains more in
the backf1eld than line, for he must
find a new field general to replace

1rovers Wins Title After
BoreIy Reaching PIoyoff

Medal rounds rarely mean much
50 far as match play is concerned
The low-scoring medalist may be
beaned in the first charge
I recall the case of Jerry Travers
at Garden City in 1913. He took a
7 on the last hole-145 yards-and
that brought him to an early morn
ing playoff He qualified when
Heinie Schmidt who had the best
drive of the II or 13 survivors
wrecked the hole
After that Travers went on to win
the championship beating Francis
Ouimet in one of his early matches
by brillian golf and a heartbreak-
ing recovery on the 9Th hole.
The main idea here is to qualify
first-and then leave the rest to
fate and the luck of the green.
The class of the field has been
extremely good-so far as the head
liners 60. Amateur golf has i'm
proved considerably, even in the last
year.
There are not so many pros who
can hit the ball up with Bud Ward
or Johnny Fischer, two of our main
wallopers They can travel the ter

Catholic Pins Hopes
Of Big Grid Year
On Rocco Pirro

Take Dutch Bergman's word for
1t, Catholic University has another
Bronko Nagurski in the making in
robust Rocco Pirro, 21O-pound vet
eran whose line -plunging and punt
ing have been boon to Cardinal
hopes for a winning campaign.
Rocco was hailed as another Ma
gurski last year, but a dearth of
tackles forced Bergman to send him
back into the front line trenches
where his ball-carrying ability was
wasted. But Rocco's kicking and
ball toting, plus the presence of
four large and capable tackles, have
forced Bergman to switch him to
the backfield, and he probably will
spend the season there.
Irish" Carroll, former Catholic
ace and now head coach at Fish
burne Military Academy, is helping
out with the backfield this week at
Brookland. Irish" begins football
drills at the Academy next week
and stopped by to work off bit of
surplus weight and exchange notes
with his old tutor.
