PACKERS LOSE PRO CONTEST Chicago. Nov. ifi. _ {U R) _ The Green Bay Packers. National professional football league champ•ons, had their first defeat of the 1931 season registered against them today, but continued to hold the league lead. The Chicago Cardinals, paced by Ernie Nevers in one of the most brilliant football exhibitions of his ca. jer, smashed Green Bay s 9game winning streak witli a 21-13 victory before 8,000 persons at Wrigley Field. The Cards led throughout the game, scoring touchdowns in the first, third and fourth periods. The score at halftime was 7-6 in favor of the Cardinals. A 24-yard pass, Nevers to Creighton. scored the first touchdown. The Cards’ staged a 49-yard drive for the second touchdown, Gene Rose, former Wisconsin star, going over from the 5-yard line. Nevers passed 13 yards to Kassel for the final touchdown. Green Bay scored on a blocked punt in the second period, Nash scooping up the ball and running 15 yards after Stahl-I man had blocked the effort. Bruder scored the second touchdown in the last two minutes of play. A 35-yard pass, Brumbaugh to Garland Grange, in the final minutes of play enabled the Chicago Bears to defeat the New York Giants before 30,000 at New York. The Portsmouth Spartans scored | their tenth victory of the season Iby defeating Cleveland at Cincin- ’ nati, 14-6. Providence won from Staten Island, 6-0, in the other leaI gue game. ; —O VALPO LOSES FIRST SCRAP J Indianapolis. Nov. 16.—(U.R) —The [smashing of Valparaiso University's hopes for an undefeated football season was the outstanding feature |of tile secondary college football program Saturday. Two Hoosier colleges were bowled over by competition from other states. The Valparaiso defeat was administered by Manchester college in a spectacular battle that ended with a score of 13 to 12. Left halfback Piper accounted for both of Manchester's touchdowns and Cap tai;i Jiverett Chapman's place kicking ability was responsible for a point after touchdown for the margin of victory. DePau.w added another victory to its long string of triumphs when it ran roughshod over Hanover to pile up a 62 to 0 score. Marquette University from Wisconsin flashed a brilliant aerial offensive in its game 'with Butler and defeated the Bulldogs. 21 to 0. Marquette completed 10 or 14 attempted passes for a gain of 137 yards. Wabash college was an easy victim for Ohio Wesleyan, whose running attack and forward passing gave the Ohioans a 60 to 0 victory. The feature attraction for this week will be the traditional battle between DePauw and Wabash at Crawfordsville. In last year's game. DePauw managed to gather sufficient strength to score only in the last quarter after the Little Giants had held a 6 to 0 lead for three quarters. A successful try for point after play gave DePauw a 7 to 6 victory. HOOVER’S KIN IN COURT TODAY — (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) story, had gone to the back of Dailey's store to weigh himself.

P u bliC l iM ‘ Wes ‘ “P° n the rapidity and impartiality with which British machinery of the law operates. Kylsant is not the only person in an eminent social position to suffer the penalty for sailing outside the law. Back in 1923, Lord Alfred Douglas was sent ri. J, u-n r S,X ™ ont!ls on bein g convicted of having libeled Winston Churchill, noted statesman, oy accusing him of issuing a false comKiunique after the battle of Jutland. Another who found that justice is bund to social position was Mrs. Kate Merrick, London's night club queen. Mrs. Merrick spent six months in cheerless Wormwood Scrub, prison for a violation of the English liquor law. The fact that Mr.. Merrick is the mother-in-law of two of England's bluest-blooded peer., had no more weight in the scales of justice than if her sons-in-law ere „ coup e of clr m-diggers. Thus it may be seen that though our Briti:n ciui.ni may be slow in some things, they are fast enough in enforcing respect for the law.

New York, Nov. i J.- The recent conviction and imprisonment of Lord Kylsant, of Carmarthen, one of the most influential peers in England, for issuing a false prospectus of the Royal Mail Shipping Company, of which he was chair-m.-'.n. once more focuses public attention upon the rapidity and impartiality wherewith British judicial machinery ope. ites in criminal law. What will strike Americans most forcibly about this case is the remorseless manner in which the mills of tlie law ground towards their objective- the punishment of a malefactor—witli a total disregard of his high social position and power in the financial world. Kylsant's offense, compared to some of those charged against our Capones and our Diamonds, was trifling, but no matter how slight the deviation from the patli right, England demands and sees that such straying is punished, justly and with extreme dispatch. The long-drawn process, with which we Americans are familiar, of appeal after appeal and stay after stay when a criminal lias been adjudged guilty, is denied to the law-breaker in England. One ap peal Is he allowed, and that only if he can produce fresh evidence that .nay have an important bearing uppon the course of justice, if that one appeal lie denied, the only recourse left to the convicted otie is a petition to the House of Lords, but before this course may be taken permission will have to be obtained from the Attorney General, who must decide if the legal point of appeal involves the public interests. Lord Kylsant is not the first peer to come in contact witli tlje law and suffer thereby. Back in 1923, Lord Alfred Douglas was sent to jail for six months on being convicted of having libeled Winston Churchill, noted Brit-

it.” | Leavitt assertedly was walking I out the back door with the sack! when federal officers halted him. | Tommy Carr is Santa Monica's one-man vice squad, who uses morel disguises than Arsene Lupin. "I tried to be a good’fellow,” was till Leavitt would say when lie was J arrested. Even Dailey, who police accused of Being the actual owner of the I liquor, said "there must been some mistake” about Leavitt's arrest > and that Leavitt “was a victim of I circumstances.” Leavitt was not recognized until; he was taken to jail, when, Observers said, the arresting officers! were told: "You might as well turn in your badges, boys, you've arrested President Hoover's brother-in-law." Nevertheless, Chief Webb declared, after a long Investigation, that j “Leavitt was a victim of circumstances," "Personally I believe Leavitt's tiny, lie Chief Webb said. "The officers did the only thing they could do, and that was to make an jarrest.”

: I ish statesman, by accusing him of 1 issuing a false communique after ( the famous battle of Jutland, between the British and German ; fleets. Douglas was a poet, but the • jury did not think that a poet's li--lievise entitled him to libel with ini--1 pnnity, so land Alfred went to jail -1 and made mail sacks for 6 months. 1 Another celebrity who found that British justice is stone blind when I it comes to seeing social position - as an excuse for wrongdoing was ■ i Mrs. Kate Merrick. London's night < club queen. Mrs. Merrick spent a [ six-month sojourn in the cheerless - atmosphere of Wormwood Sctubs I prison for selling liquor after prohibited hours. The fact that Mrs. i Merrick is tile mother-in-law of r two of the bluest-blooded peers i listed in Burke's, the Earl of KinI noull and laird de Clifford, carried , no more weight in the scales of t justice than if her sons-in-law were ■ a couple of clam diggers. One can easily imagine the crowdi ed condition that would prevail in .'American prisons if the law against - night chili hostesses were proseeuti ed here witli the same vigor and • impartiality as is the case across tlie ocean. f Another point that calls for emI pliasis is tlie fact that in England - punishment does not end witli coni viction. as it does in many cases - in these United States. British i convicts have to work at such pastt times as breaking rocks, making i mail bags and picking oakum. Tlie - last named consists of unraveling > lengths of rope into a fluffy mass, f The product is used for calking tlie - seams of ships. British prisons have no radios, no reading Is alr lowed (except tlie Bible) and talk- > ling is forbidden at all times. Thus, it can readily be seen that - though our Brltisli cousins may Im ( slow in some tilings they are lightning fast in discouraging disre- - sped for the law. *

| Both Leavitt and Dailey have j been at liberty on $250 ball since - their arrest. Icavitt has retained I Roscoe Dow, former mayor of Santa Monica, to represent him. . „ Freshmen Lose Mustaches Geneva, N. Y.

Next Monday morning the Everett murder trial starts and a special venire of 25 names has been drawn for jury service in case regular members of the petit jury are challenged or removed.

oqr ground until death.” My Interview with General Ma, cloaked and uniformed for an early morning dash to the front lines of his little army, came after a thrilling ride through the I darkness of the Manchurian plains j from Anganehi—center of today's | war zone. I ' The railway station at Anganehi ! was alive witli military and civil confusion. Squads of soldiers [ were being rustled about. But a group of Chinese soldiers, lean- ( ing on their rifles, had time for more than a casual smiling glance l al little knots of Russian girls, talking volubly in tlie swirling crowd. ; Here I was met by Paul Lew, ' r General Ma's secretary. He is a I youth of 24. who speaks excellent I English, and who thoroughly worships the Chinese commander. , Lew took me to a branch rail- ! way where, on a sidetrack. Gener- , ■ al Ma's "special train" was wait- . i ing. The special train consisted } i of an engine about 25 feet long, to which was attached a “saloon car" and a trailer. On the trailer, muffled in fur coats, were a heavi ily armed squad of guards, which i was somewhat reassuring. We pulled out of Anganehi and |as the little train—with all the I i thrills of an amusement park rollI er coaster —dashed up and down [' the hills, we settled down to such I j comforts as it provided. , ’ Tlie comforts consisted of a kerosene lamp and a wood stove, t i the fuel for which was neatly piled I r in a box beside it. A non-descript j i wooden table was bare save for a ! | box of Russian cigarets—the only I indication I saw throughout the : ’ I trip, of the so-called "Soviet in- ! fluen.-:e.” When a kimono-clad servant 1 ’ took away our lamp, to kindle a ’ fire in the car’s “kitchen” and 1 1 brew us tea. we were plunged in i complete darkness. It was a dumpy and eerie ride. Much of the | • time wo passed through wooded i s lanes where the tree branches I - were so close they swept the' windows of the train, giving us , 1 the sensation of crackling machine | 1 guns. ’ Arriving at Tsitsihar, and be- 1 ' . fore I had a chance to look abfritt, i I was met on tlie platform by S. i ‘i J - Bardens, an Englishman who I s had wandered into tlie danger ‘ t ' zone seeking to collect a bill from ■ i ; a Chinese customer for tlie Vac- i K j num Oil company which he repre-1 i sents. Bardens was on his way I I : out.

"We expect trouble,” his customer had told Bardens, "by tomorrow. But if you care to remain here, we'll be able to pay you soon." lsardens decided to return to Harbin rather than wait to collect. The first large group to attract attention on the platform was headed by the outgoing Japanese consul, Yaquchi Shimidzu, who was surrounded by 10 of his subordinates and representatives of the agency for the South Manchuria railroad. Shimidzu had been impatiently awaiting the arrival of my train. He was planning to leave for Anganehi and thence for Harbin. Children’s Book Week To Be Observed Here Children’s Book Week observed annually in November focusses national attention on the subject of both boys’ and girls’ reading. During tlie week the many groups interested in tlie welfare of the children of America center th.ds efforts on bringing the child and the book together.
