IOWA HOPES TO BE REINSTATED — lowa City, la., May 29. <(J,R>-"Wlth' reinstatement negotiations already i under way, the belief was expressed here today that it will be but a short time until the University of lowa regains its membership in the western conference. Suspended by the Big Ten faculty committee last Saturday night because of "hired athlete” charges. Iowa! immediately endeavored to learn the nature of the specific charges which; had brought about the action. 1 The investigation culminated yes-1 terday afternoon at a meeting which lowa faculty members and coaches attended with Major John L. Griffith, Big Ten athletic head. At the close of the meeting it was announced that resolutions urging the conference to reconsider its action had been passed and will be presented to the faculty committee. It was believed that Griffith had explained the charges specifically during the meeting. Several facts led to the belief that reinstatement awaits the Hawkeyes. It was pointed out that It the charge had been serious, lowa would probably have been ousted immediately instead of being allowed to complete! its present schedule contests. The "ouster’’ decree does not take effect I until January 1. 1930, and the lowans, will be allowed to pltf>- through this j years football schedule under the, order. It was believed that Griffith would act in an advisory capacity and that some solution of the problem would be worked out, allowing lowa to again assume good standing within a few days. Feeling, aroused to an intense pitch; here after the decree, has settled to i an attitude of watchful waiting. o Watching The Scoreboard — (U.R)— Yesterday's hero: Melvin Ott, young; New York Giants’ outfielder, who hit his eleventh home run of the season with two mates on base and helped John McGraw’s team score its sixth straight victory, over Brooklyn, 5 to 3. Ervin Brame let the Cardinals down with four hits and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat St. Louis, 5 to 2, and moved into a tie with the Chicago Cubs for the National league lead. I Two big innings enabled the Phillies to nose out the Braves, 9 to 8, and hand Boston its tenth straight defeat. Sam Gray’s pitching and hitting enabled the St. Louis Browns to beat ' Detroit, 4 to 2, and move within 2% ' games of the league leading Ath- , letics. Gray’s batting figured in all ' four St. Louis runs. Homers by Heil- ] man nand Alexander were the only runs made off him. Rube Walberg failed to hold a fourrun lead and the Philadelphia Athletics’ 11-game winning streak was snapped by the Boston Red Sox, 5 to 4 The victory enabled the Red Sox to get out of the cellar. Driving out sixteen hits, the New York Yankees beat Washington, 12 to 7, and the Senators dropped into j last place. Bib Falk, former White Sox out-' fielder, helped beat his erstwhile teammates by collecting three hits and driving in two runs as Cleveland beat Chicago 5 to 2. The Cubs-Reds game was rained out. o Many See Finals Os Boxing Tournament Chicago, May 29.—(U.R)—The 7,000 persons who watched the finals of Paddy Harmon’s invitation amateur boxing tuornament at his new stadium last night were thrilled by the middleweight bout between Jack Mack of New York, and Ray Trambile, Rockford, 111. Tramblie was favored to win but Mack staged a gallant comeback to get decision. —o Baseball Gains Favor In Japan San Francisco, May 29 — (UP) Twenty years from now Japan will be ready to enter a baseball team in the World Series, in the opinion of Dr. Jsoo Abe, “father of baseball” in Uippon and a recent visitor here. Thirty yeais ago Dr. Abe, fresh from his studies as a divinity student in the United States, imported the American game to Japan. Today crowds aggregating from 30,000 to 50,000 attend “big games" in the Orient. “Interest in baseball is consequently on the increase,” said Dr. Abe. “Time will tell how soon we can produce a team capable of taking part in your great world series. Maybe 20 — maybe 30 years.” 0 FOUND—-The Best Smoke in the world. The White Etag. "It makes your nickels have more ‘Cents’.” Try it today. 128t2

Good Water Well Is Drilled In At Berne Berne, May 29 —(Special)—What is believed to be by far the best water well ever drilled in Berne, is just being completed in the Nussbaum addi tion. The drillers, Robert and William Speicher, have tapped an underground river which promises to esasily furnish all the water that can be brought up through the ten-inch pipe. Berne has been in need of the well for several months, the three wells which have been supplying the patrons proving inadequate. o , — Wales’ Hat Peg Abused London May 29 —(UP)—The Prince of Wales' hat peg is badly abused, in the House of Lords he has a special peg in the lobby. On visitor’s day hundreds of persons, many of whom are Americans, hang, their hats there for a few minutes —just to give their headgear a "Royal hang.” o Thing* a Man Can’t Say How many things ate there which a pian cannot, with any face of 1 comeliness, say or do himself? A man can scarce allege his own merits with modesty, much less extol them; a man cannot sometimes brook to supplicate or beg; and a number of the like. But all these things are graceful in a friends mouth, which are blushing in a man's own. —Kansas City Star. Jewish Wailing Place The Place of Wailing is an inclosed place near the mosque of Omar in Jerusalem, where the Jews congregate every Friday to lament the fall of Israel and pray for its restoration. The wall in front of which they gather is 156 feet in length and 59 feet in height The nine lowest courses of stone consist of large blocks. Above there are 15 courses of small stones. Some of the lower courses may have belonged to Herod’s lemple. Ambitions Fade The bright ambitions of youth are modified somewhat by the Inexorable flight of time, and the man who started out some thirty years ago to conquer the world Is now fairly well satisfied if he can keep fA>m spilling the beans. o * — Picric Acid Picric gcW Is poisonous when used tn large doses, and the dry crystals when handled sometimes cause Inflammation of the skin. It was formerly used very largely as a yellow dye for silk, but it is now employed chiefly in the manufacture of explosives.

Only the skeleton of the organization was formed at the meeting yesterday. It was presided over by Mrs. Charles H. Sabin of New York. A list of women interested in the movement. indfeated that the organization has social, political and civic leaders representing 26 states in the union. Mrs. Sabin was chosen temporary chairman of the organization which will be known as the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform. It resulted, she said, from a questionnaire sent out three years ago by the Women’s National Republican club. o Bar, Mounted On Wheels, To Foil Federal Action Great Falls, Mont., May 29 —(UP) — Tlie latest scheme of Gieat Falls bootleggers disclosed during the federal court session, consisted of mounting their liquor establishments on wheels. As soon as abatement proceedings were brought against one of these traveling bats, the owner merely hooked an automobile onto the structure and moved it across the street, or to any vacant lot located within easy walking distance of the business section. Os course, if vacant lots gave out, there would still be the wide open spaces outside the city limits. That plan was found to be easier than moving bars and other equipment from one building to another, and proprietors claimed that fewer bottles were broken en route. o Bragging “When you stahts braggin’," said Uncle Eben, "you ain’t liable to git much further dan to excite a little curiosity concernin’ what you’s talkin' ’bout” 0 Leading Childish Mind The modern child Is more readily led than driven, and this is specially true as the child grows older. Take the child Into your confidence when you want him to do something. Tell him why. Most children are glad to co-opera te. —Exch a n ge.

HEABD GENERAL LEE’S COMMAND Muncie. Ind., May 29— (UP)—When the 30 men composing the Grand Army of the Republic in Delaware count) — all that remain of a former member ship of 1,000 -passed in parade here Memorial Day,'there will be one veteran who heard General Robert E Lee give the order for Pickett's famous charge at the battle of Gettysburg. The veteran who listened to th. confederate general’s instructions is Henry Marsh. During the historic struggle at Gettysburg!) he was taken prisoner and held behind the rebel lines at Seminary Ridge. At night hr heard voices behind some bushes-end crept close. There he saw Lee, Longstreet and Pickett, the leader and his two chief aides, in conference. Although willing to obey his commander’s orders, Longstreet expressed the opinion that the charge would be a oad move. Marsh recalls that the confederate leaders hoped Pickett's men with banners flying and bands playing, would frighten General Meade's men by sheer force of numbers. Instead the charge resulted in one of the worst defeats the southern forces suffered. There will be no marching for Marsh and his comrades Thursday. They will take part in the Memorial Day parade as passengers in automobiles provided by the -Sons of Veterans.
