In dieations are that Michigan and Purdue, co-favorites with North-: western for the Big Ten title, will LC extended to the limit by their respecitve opponents. It’s no worse than an even bet that either Michigan or Purdue will be upset i tomorrow.

the radio last night. Chicago's small but brave football squad will attempt to crown Coach A. A. Stagg's 40th anniversary as Maroons' athletic director and coach with a victory over “the grand old man’s’’ alma-mater !in Yale's first invasion of the ■ middle-west. i Chicago was no better than 20-1 , shot to win 10 days ago, but the : Maroons’ great showing against Michigan last week and Yale's ; defeat at. the hands of Georgia have imbued the Maroons with a i' determined spirit they have not , known in years. Yale is apt to see some of the fanciest forward-passing it has witnessed in many a season when the Maroons turn loose their aerial attack tomorrow. Chicago also has a new offense, devised by ; Stagg especially for this game, which will be uncovered for the i first time. Another intersectiontai game of i more than ordinary importance will see Northwestern in action against a Pacific coast team for the first time when the Wildcats clash with the University of Cali- ’ fornia (Los Angeles). Himself a product of west coast football, : Coach Dick Hanleyhas full respect for the invaders and will send his full strength into the I fray. ! Notre Dame will make its first appearance of the season at South Bend, against Drake, using a modified form of the Rockne system. It will be the first time the Irish ever have played a team using their style of play. Drake has played Notre Dame five times, and in 1929 gave the national champions a genuine scare by leading., 7-6 at half time, only to lose. 19-7. Indiana and lowa, two of the; weaker Big Ten teams, play a home-coming game at lowa City. With 40.000 complimentary tickets . issued to school children of the, state. Illinois will try to smooth 1 I out the rough spots in its sophomore eleven in a game with Bradley. Losse* Caused by Fog There are no general statistics to wlint extent fog interferes with sb pping, but a specific example that may he cited is that of a dense fog that bung for five days over the English channel No serious accident resulted, but the time lost by vessels laid up tn the Thames estuary alone was estimated to be worth moonootl

Oct. 16. —Indiana ’ and lowa are set to open the Big Ten season for each other in the lowa homecoming here tomorrow afternoon in what is expected to be * I .one of the crucial games of the ( . season for both elevens. It marks the first appearance of the Hoosiers against Big Ten competition since i Coach E. C. Hayes and his staff took charge this fall. For lowa it marks the opening of the first full Big Ten football season since the mixup in the conference two years ago. Indiana was resting tonight I at Davenport a few miles away. while the lowa outfit hied into loi cal seclusion for the night. Both teams will tie strengthened by the return of regulars who have 1 been on the injured list. This is especially true of the Hawkeyes who have been forced to witness defeats at the hands of intersectional opponents in the last two weeks while their stars sat on the bench either ineligible or suffering from injuries. I Injuries to Zeller and Nylee, Crimson guards, have healed suffi- ! ciently to allow them to play tomorrow, though McDonald, Keckich, and Adams are threatening these I regulars constantly. Indiana will again have its two complete backfield combinations and Coach Hayes may spring a , surprise backfield of speedy second stringers. The starting backs ■ are: Vice Dauer, quarter; Opasik. and Baer, halfbacks; and Jones, full. Ray Dauer at quarter, Saluski and Sawicki at halves, and Ed- ! monds at full is the other first ■backfield. | Dickey and Lyons hold the edge in the battle for end berths on the team tomorrow although the fight for this position continues with .

o Sells Belgian Horses Good horses are still of good value and Adams county still produces them. That was again proven today when William Nitchell, well known breeder of pure bred Belgian) I horses, sold two head for a total of SSOO. Everett King of Chicago purchased the animals placing them with Earl Brown of Minneapolis. He paid S2OO for a five month old pure bred colt weighing 880 pounds and S3OO for a four year old mare which weighed 1,850 pounds. He declared them as fine specimens as he had seen this year. Mr. Mitchell will continue in the business and has just purchased a fine speciman, pure bred Belgium mare from the Wabash stables. o Bonds Fail To Sell Indianapolis. Oct. 16. — (U.R) —No bids were received here when the SIOO,OOO Marion county poor relief bond issue was placed on sale. Officials believed the interest rate of 4% per cent was too low to at-1 tract money. Harry Dunn, county auditor, said I a special session of .the county . council would be called in an effort to raise the rate.

■ I ALL-AMERICAN : MAY BE NAMED e >f New York. Oct. 16. —(U.R)—Footj ball's "all America” quarterback for H 1931 may be on view at Baker. Field tomorrow when Columbia entertains Dartmouth in New York's! g feature gridiron contest of the; I week. Ralph Hewitt. Columbia’s bril j liant captain, is the candidate for! “All-America” recognition, and his i performance in this one game appears more than likely to decide t his chances of realizing his life- ( long ambition. j The Columbia leader is playing his third season as varsity quarterback for the Lions. Many competent critics rate him as one of the nation's finest ball carriers and declare that only the handicap of playing with a weak team has pre- j vehted him from winning national r recognition. Hewitt, a product of Lawrence, Mass., high school, originally plan- - ned to continue his education at Dctmouth but switched to Colum1 bia where he has been a standout 1 performer since his first day on - the football field. ? Hewitt, incidentally, is more t than a brilliant ball carrier. He is t a heady quarterback, a clever and 1 capable man on either end of a . forward pass combination, a reli- - able punter and one of the east's - best drop kickers. s Hewitt never has been able to r break loose against Dartmouth, but this season has a stronger line in - front of him than in the last two seasons. 1 | o LABOR GROUP ADJOURNS MEET New Principles Introduced And Adopted At Two-Week Session Vancouver, B. C„ Oct. 16.—(U.R) ■ —New economic principles, official- [ ly endorsed as “the only way out , of industrial depression and its at- . tendant human misery," were rec- , ommended by the 51st convention . of the American Federation of Labor. i The convention adjourned last > night after two weeks of intensive i work. Economic policies which it presented to capitalism and the . government call for a well-ordered and peaceful industrial revolution. . The alternative, .William Green, lal bor's chieftian, warned, is possibility of a social revolution. Desperate, bloody, it would have as its aim the o verthrow of the gov t eminent and the capitalistic sysi tern, said Green. It would be a frantic effort of jobless, hungry > men. he said, to get their share of . the industrial and agricultural surpluses which present inaladjust- . ment has built up at the very time t the ranks of unemployed have swelled by millions. 1 Industralism. the convention de- ? dared, has done little save aggrar vate the problem by wage-cutting 1 and ruinous price wars. After indicting captains of industry for in- ■ action and indifference, the cont clave called on them to accept labor's plan and return prosperity to f both. 1 “We speak for unorganized labor. and for the voiceless billions ' of unorganized toilers in the overall and white-collar classes,” Presi- ” dent Green said. Here is what 1 that powerful force demands of industry : a I—Reduce unemployment and balance increased machine-produc-tion with buying power by shortening the working week to five days and shortening the eight-hour day. This, labor declares, will make buyers out of men now forced to be beggars. 2 —Make possible continued op-

eration of the important luxuryproducing industries by maintaintaining wages at higher levels' and sustaining buying power. 3— Release savings now hoarded through ~fear by assuring yearround employment to minimum work forces. 4 — Strengthen employment agencies to end the confusion of placing men in employment. 5 — Keep young persons in school and out of competition with their elders for jobs. 6 — Immediately amend the Volstead act to permit legal beer, thus putting 1,000,000 men to work in construction, shipping and manufacture, and indirectly stimulating an industry. This is what labor will demand of the next congress: 1 — Increase labor's power of collective bargaining by removing power of federal judges to issue Injunctions in labor disputes. 2 — 'Reduce alien competition in the American job market by suspending immigration sot two years, by totally excluding Pilipinos. 3— Putting drastic restrictions on i Mexican immigration. 4. —Distribute the wealth garner|ed by two per cent of the popula- | tion by sharply higher taxes, at the same time abandoning any plans to tax the remaining 98 per cent of

the people with a levy on sales. 5— Create jobs by large-scale public works. Guarantee that contractors getting such jobs will maintain high wages and not depress wages for the sake of greater profits. 6— Aid in preventing future de--1 pressions by advance planning of i public works to be slashed when industry falters and starts laying |off men. Opposition to compulsory unemployment insurance was voted. The 'convention urged a pardon for Tom ! Mooney, serving a lite sentence for the San Francisco Preparedness . Day killings, it urged freedom for the Philippines. It endorsed a freight rate increase for railroads. ■ — o IMPROVEMENT SHOWN IN CROP I Corn Yield Forecast Is Set At 10 Bushel For Each Acre Lafayette, Ind., Oct. 16. — (U.R) — Corn crop conditions in Indiana improved slightly during September. it was reported in the monthly crop report issued today by the Purdue University Agricultural Experiu.ent Station and the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The yield forecast is 40 bushels an acre, 8 per cent above the 10year average. Due to drying weather in September, virtually the entire crop is beyond frost danger. The oats yield average was 31.5 bushels an acre, about 4 per cent above the 10-year average. The quality, however, was reported at 76, compared with 91 a year ago and a 10-year average of 82. A better than average barley yield is indicated, the return Iteing estimated at 27.2 bushels an acre. The quality, placed at 84, is average, but below last year's crop. Condition of potatoes, placed at 67, is two points above last month but two points below the 10-year average. Yield- of tame hay is reported as 1.48 tons an acre. Quality is 86, equal to the 10-year average. September rains raised pasture conditions from 70 to 79, which is the 10-year average. 0 | FOUR CONVICTS ELECTROCUTED (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) While his companions of death row paid the penalty. Bell sat in a cell in another part of the jail, shivering at thought of the end he had escaped. Bell owes his life in away to the minute legal searchings of Michael Ahern, attorney for A! Capone in the latter's trial on federal ’income tax dodging charges. Ahern was not interested in Bell's case. But is was Ahern who 15 years ago dug up the statute used in Bell’s behalf today. Ahern discovered the forgotten law when it seemed he had lost his fight to save Gene Geary, labor leader, convicted in the most widely read murder case of that day. His discovery saved Geary’s life. It saved Bell’s temporarily at least, this morning, but only the persistence of his sisters brought it into use. All other avenues had l.teen tried without success. Warden David Moneypenny of the county jail even had pleaded with the state pardon board for a commutation, but had been turned down. As a last hope. Mrs. Richardson and Miss Bell engaged new attorneys. Ralph J. Sharp and Joseph Mosek. and started hunting for a judge to hear their plea. The found Judge Kelly at the Chicago Athletic club. In the club’s reception room, he held Impromptu court. ■—o Tall* and Taxes That portion if our ancestors who remained In the trees with tails but without taxes, were not S" ; dnmh after all -Hrnnswlek (>f|<>t

GOVERNMENT ARGUES CASE Gani< Leader Branded As Wealthy Man Who Evaded Income Tax Federal Building, Chicago, Oct. 16 (U.R)—A government attorney, pleading today with a jury to send i the gangster chief. Al Capone, to penitentiary as an income tax! evader, branded him a wealthy, man who had dodged bis obliga-' tions to the nation. The government attorney callc.l him rich, yet added, sarcastically, that he had "not a cent of taxable income.” Supporting this line of, attack, he likened him to the’ ancient mariner with “water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink." “It has been money, nfoney everywhere anil not a cent of tax- i able income.” Assistant United States District Attorney Clawson said, as he analyzed the course of Capone with respect to income | taxation. Clawson was followed by Defense Attorney Albert Fink, whose final argument to the jury was expected to require most of the day. Capone, in a dark green suit, seemed relaxed after the strain of listening to testimony almut his: private life and his lavish expendi-j Hires and heavy' gambling losses for nine days. The now famous Lawrence Mattingly- "confession letter” was read to the jury by Clawson. Mattingly. Capone's Washington attorney, admitted in the letter that the gang leader had a fouryear income of $266,000. “Mattingly was the one man in this case who knew something definite about Canones income." Clawson said. "He was empowered to speak for Capone. Capohe knew how his attorney was hand ling the matter and was present at interviews. He had his chance to speak then. But lie did not
