BF© COMMIES WIN FROM TOLEDO IN FAST GAME Locals Display Fine Basketball to Win Over Fast Ohio Team — The good ship btisk.*i ball, piloted by a sturdy bunch of Commodores t?om th»< D emur Catholic High School rode a stormy sea to victory last night, pulling into port after u foity minu e voyage of fast going against the Central Catholic High school of Toledo Ohio. The final score was 23 to 12 in favor of the Commies. - The local netters well deserved a vb tciy last night and the fact that they did win can justly be credited to the excellent passing and machine like precision which they displayed. The ('ommoijores played hv fur the best game they have upown this season. The Toledo boys had the app ar ance of a well balanced team ah being six footers, ami played a splendid game. They fought every yjch of tlie way and are a far better twain than the score would indicate The game was fast and was excep tjpnally clean, as only a few fouls were called during the entire contest. <The game opened with the Toledo netters sniping the first basket shortly after the game was under way only to have it tied by the local tossei s a few seconds later. Decatm then, jumped into the lead and were never halted, steadily piling up a lead, hoi ling a slight advantage at the half with the score standing 11 to 7 in their favor. The first halt was unusually fast, the passing ot both teams was snappy and accurate and was a beautiful game to watch. At the opening of the second half both teams seemed to work a little slower. The Commodores opened the scoring in this period, registering now and thrn, holding the visitors scoreless until about ten minutes of the half had been played. The Ohio boys were unable to hit and were forced to be contented with registering two lone field goals am', to finish the game with the short ■nd of a 2'3 to 12 score.

Pay For Two Weeks Chicago, Feb. 14—(U.R>— Oblong Via,'entities of blue inscribed with figures, dol’ar signs and the signature of the controller of the city of Chicago, brought jubiliation to 18,000 public employes today. Their long deferred and almost despaired of payday climaxed a brief period crowded with developments in the financial crisis. Within an hour after City Treasurer Charles S. Peterson announced that $1,849,000 would be disbursed as pay tor the first two weeks of January, Mayor William Hole Thompson was reported definitely to have capitulated to the Citizens "Re ief Committee” headed by Attorney Silas H. Strawn. That was the bright side of the situation. Still in the shadow of uncertainty were the other 25,000 workers in county and school departments for whom Valentine’s day was only another bleak ami Impoverished Friday. Hopei of relief for them dwindled with the statement of Herbert C. Heller, New York Investment banker, indicating his firm would not purchase tax anticipation warrants. That development dashed hopes that some $27,000,000 could be raised soon with his aid.

HOUSE CROUP ' READY TO STUDY PROHIBITION Judiciary Committee Hus Seven Proposals for Changing By Herbert Little | United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, Feb 14 (UP)- In I vest ignt lon of prohibition us a na--1 lienal policy after 10 yems of trial 1 will bo s arted formally tomorrow by the house judiciary committ- e in 1 its impressive big hearing-room in 1 the House office building. The 23 representatives on the committee, most of them piohibitionists, will listen from their ole va'ed semi-circular rostrum at one end of the room, to witnesses, ex ‘ peeled to number more than loa appearing before them in the next few weeks. The hearings were annimn><1 two weeks ago by chairman George Scott Graham of the committee, and a large numhi-r of out s andlng national figures are to testify on both sides. Presence of sev -ral of the most prominent and voluble of the wet members of emigre’s, including LaGuardia. Republl. 11. N. Y.. and Dyer, Republican. Mo., on the committ e, insures that the "anti’s" « ill get an adequa e hearing. This committee has been the find r< sting-place of several hundred j anti-prohibition bills in the last 10 years. In 1924 it held a series of hearings on modification pramsals ! without recommending any legisla ' tion. and in 1926 a senate comini tee held similar hearings without taking any action. The reason for holding hearings at this time has not been-explained, although Chairman Graham did say he believed the anti-prohibit’onist■; and modificationls s were entitled to a li arlng. He announced the hearing without formal request be'ng made, shortly after the house "wet bloc" of some 60 members announced its intention of holding unofficial heatings to plac - its side of the ques ion before the countrv. Several joint resolutions, providing everything from outright repeal of the eighttenth amendment to state regulation of liquor and authorization of three per cent alcoholic beverages, are before the committee. The proposal of Mrs. Nor- ; ton, Dem N. J., for a referendum ■ by states, is also before it. . After these heatings, which may i ake several we Its. a subcommittee headed by Rep.

DECA TUB DAILY DEMOCR AT FBIDAY, FF.BRUARY 14,1930

DECATUR MAN I IS PRESIDENT OF ASSOCIATION I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) sou as one of the greatest conI struetlvo geniuses the country has -vi-r prouin-ed. Speaking of the principles of the i (>utty, he said: "The democratic party may b* I defeated, hut it can never be destioyed because it rests on prin-clpl-s that are elemental ami eternnl. To us has boon entrusted , •ho keeping of the covenant of , fr< -dom anil equal rights, framed by the genius of Jefferson. The closer we cleave to these funda- ( mental principles, the sounder onr , position, and the surer our sue- < cess; and if Wo ever compromise these principles to meet the ■ momentary exigencies of an hour. 1 wo shall pay the penalty In inevit- i able and deserved defeat. I "Jefferson was against bureaucracy, agSi ns t centralization, against privilege, and since the battle for a generation has been igirnst centralization, bureaucracy mil privilege, th principles of Jeflerson are all that we need for a democratic platform of today. "Ji-fferson believed in the absolute Independence of the three ( ordinate branches of the gove ■ >-1 ! rnetrt anil could his spirit revis t | the glimpses of the'moon. he wotii-1 he appalled at the demand of President Hoover for the transfer >f the power to tax from the legis'ative department of the govern-1 , ment to h'mself." Charging the republican power: | with using money to gain power,! he said: ' Mon y has come to mean more than men in legislation and admin stration. Privilege sits in th'* seats of the mighty, with Joe Irundy as cup-bearer and Senator Moses as trumpeteer. The Pets-r prys of bureaucracy swarm over he land like the locusts of Egypt: ind for generations agriculture has played the part of the poor relation in the halls of congress." His 'attack on the flexibility •aluse of the new tariff bill was scathing. "The fiist year of this adminin'ration has revealed the revival of he old Hamiltonian itch for a con■enlartion of power," he said. ‘S lent on the outrageous rates of the house bill, the voice of the president rang clarion clear in one temand —th? unprecedented, unconstitutional, ttn-American demand or the transfer o’ the power to a:: trom the legislative department of the government to himself. Why no such demand has I '> c en beard by an English speak- I ng people since John Hampden •hundered his memorable protest n th? parliament. Stripped of all ■.ophisti es and subtleties, this demand of the p sident is for nothing less than th- power to increase v decrease tai iff according to his . him. “This is a violat on of the letter and the spirit of our fundamental aw. It strikes at the heart of thtraditional 1 policy of the Engl sh speaking race. From- the time of the immortal fight of the Hampdens and the Pyms we have insisted that the power to tax shall rest exclusively in the representatives of the people in the leg slative departmsnt of the government. "But the pow’er tha president :sks is more than the power to taxi - it is the power to int m'.date and coerce every industry in the land. Imagine such pow r in the hands 1 >f an unscrupulous executive bent >n re-election. With this power as i club he can raise the most tremendous slush fund in history by liter ng witli the powerful for an release in their privileges. By the mere scratching of his name he ■tin transfer millions and hundreds >f millions from the pockets of the ; people to the coffers of powerful nonopolies. and thus attach them o his cause. "Give the president this power, and the masses of the people will lie completely at the mercy’ of a single man who is under no obllrations to ixpla'n h's act." Referring to the Wilson adminstration, Bowe s said: "It was luring his ; dmlnlst: ation that v - revised the tariff without the semilance of a scandal—the first tarff act in 60 years that had not been ■onceived in iniquity and brought forth in corruption.” He spok » of the Federal reserve act as the "greatest single piece A NIAGARA FALLS Nickel Plate Road Winter Excursion Weekend Over Washington’s Birthday FEBRUARY 21 and 22 See Niagara in Sparkling Winter Dress.
