The decision by Justice Adolph A. Hoehling of whether Edward L. Do- heny's testimony before the Senate oil investigating committee in 1923 and 1924 1is permissible to go before the jury may' influence the line of at- tack mapped out by the government counsel at the outset. The nub of the Senate testimony, in the initial plans of the government counsel, was the oil man's voluntary account of a $100,000 cash transaction between himself and Albert B. Fall, co-defendant, in November, 1921, while Fall was Secretary of the Interior. Defense resisted introduction of the Senate record before the jury on the ground that the action would con- stitute compulsory testimony by a de- fendant at his -own trial, in contra- vention of the fifth amendment of the constitution. While exclusion of the testimony would represent a victory for the de- fense, there would still remain sev- eral possible approaches to presenta- tion of the same subject matter. Committee Clerk Summonedl Following a lead provided in the Senate inquiry, the government coun- sel have summoned for the present trial the clerk of the committee, in whose custody reposes the $100,000 note which Fall gave Doheny in No- vember, 1921. Doheny testified before the Senate committee that the $100,000 transac- tion for which the note was given, had no connection whatever with negotia- tions then in progress for leasing the Elk Hills naval oil reserve to Doheny's Pan-American and Petroleum Trans- port company. He also told the com- nittee that because Fall was an old :riend, he tore the signature from the note and hnded it to his wife. Mrs. Doheny is under subpoena, as a for- mer employee of the interior depart- ment, familiar with the handwriting of the former secretary. Several Alternatives Open The government began with the plan -of following a short cut to the $100,000 transaction by way of the Senate record of Dohey's testimony, but should Justice Hoehling's ruling close that door, they still have an al- ternative route, they believe, to the same route objectives.1 In argument against the reading of the Senate records, defense counsel suggested that the submission of Do- heny's own testimony in a criminal trial might furnish grounds for an ap- peal to the Supreme Court of the United States, particularly since the point now before Justice Hoeling never before has been passed upon by a Federal court. The government, however, can have no appeal under existing law. The desire of all parties to put the case through as rapidly as possible, with a view to getting the jury out of the box by Christmas, brought about an agreement today between counsel and court to hold Saturday morning sessions hereafter, and possibly one or two night sessions next week. DEFFINITE INFORMA4TIONI LACKiNG, ON CONDITION OF ROUMANIK'S RULER KING FERDINAND IS BELIEVED TO BE IN SERIOUS CONDITION REPORTS ARE WITHHELD Succession Not Yet Being Considered By Parties; Government Said To Fear Revolt For Carol (By Associated Press) 3 PARIS, Nov. 27.-News from! Bucharest is explicit only on one, point, that is, that the situation in Roumania is most uncertain. Definite information is extremely scarce, but reading between the lines gives the 'impression that King Ferdinand is in a serious condition, though not yet at a point where the political parties may, as reported,decently take up the -question of the regency of the suc- cession to the throne. To the involved state of politics in the kingdom, diploniatic circles in Paris attribute the conflicting reports, more than half of which have been dismissed without consideration. Sig- nificance is attached to the fact, how- ever, that the most specific reports received have come from Vienna, in- dicating the check put on information direct from Bucharest. Former Crown Prince Carol, who is living at Neuilly, is surrounded by faithful servants who cannot be approached. His fu- ture intentions can only be surmised, and are apt to change from week to week. The Roumanian government is said to be anxious lest the peasant section of the army revolt in favor of Carol, but this contingency is con-t sidered remote.- Unfounded Rumors Denied f From the Roumanian foreign office comes an emphatic denial of unfound-E ed and fantastic rumors, respectingf the king's health.

Head Of Italian Observatory Declares I Immediate Danger Allayed By Slow Flow Of Volcanic Lava Holy Cross Is Held To Scoreless Tie In Contest At Boston (By Associated Press) BOSTON, Nov. 27.-Boston college, playing its last football game under Coach Frank Cavanaugh, ended its season undefeated here today, by hold- ing Holy Cross, its ancient rival, to a scoreless tie. During the greater part of the game both elevens battled evenly in mid- field, but three times the Purple, rated as the underdog before the starting whistle, managed to fight its way to the Maroon and Gold's 25 yard line, only to lose the ball on downs. Lacking a strong offense, Holy Cross thrice attempted to score field goals but Wise was not equal to the task. His first attempt early in the opening period, missed the enemy's crossbar by inches, when he was kicking from the 20 yard line. His other two at- tempts, from the 35 yard line, and a placement kick from midfield, failed to land even near the posts. Boston college remained on the de- fensive throughout the game. HOWELL LECTURE. TO BE GIVEN TOMORRO* "Impressions Of Bolshevik Russia" Is Subject Of University Of California Regent IS GRADUATE OF '88 "Recent Impressions of Bolshevik Russia" will be the subject of *Uni- versity lecture to be given at 4:15 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in the Na- tural Science auditorium by Chester Harvey Rowell, '88, of Berkeley, Cali- fornia. The lecture was originally announc- ed for last Monday evening, but be- cause of Mr. Rowell's failure to get to Ann Arbor, the lecture was postponed one week. The lecture will be given in the afternoon, instead of the eve- ning, as was previously announced. Mr. Rowell is a regent of the Uni- versity of California, and was a for- mer editor of the Fresno Republican. Mr. Rowell has travelled all over the world, and in the past has taken in- terest in Oriental questions, especially in the Pacific, but of late his interest has turned to Russia. He atteided the Institute of Pacific Relations held in Honolulu last summer. Rowell has been a student of the work of the League of Nations, and was present4 at its assembly in September. He spoke twice at the Institute of International Relations, held in Geneva in August. In California, Mr. Rowell was active in politics, having been a representa- tive to Congress for several sessions. He was the organizer of what later became the Progressive organization in California. He presided at the late President Wilson's meeting in San Francisco, which was the last public meeting Wilson attended. Mr. Rowell received his doctor's degree from the University in 1888. He was connected with the faculty of the University of California as a lecturer on journalism and on civil and political subjects. Enlargement Of Big Ten Is Undiscussed (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-The question of extending the western football con- ference to make it a Big Twelve by including Notre Dame and Nebraska or Michigan State was not presented at the faculty meeting of the confer- ence tonight. Prof. Thomas S. Moran, Purdue, was elected president, and Prof. 0. G. Long, Northwestern, was elected secretary. A special meeting will be held after the holidays, with the athletic direct- ors of the Western Conference andI probably , the college presidents to consider the question of a rotating schedule for Big Ten teams. _____ fering from an infection which, the PEASANTS SHOW FEAR j attending physicians assert, has yield- ed periodically to treatment.

It is well nigh im- possible to depict the dramdtic strug- gle which will go down in football history as one of the greatest games ever played. Navy won the toss to open the fray and elected to receive with the wind at its back. After Caldwell had taken back the kick-off to the 30 yard line, the Annapolis eleven opened a strong aerial attack, with Caldwell and Ham- ilton throwing to Hardwick, star end. With the ball on Army's 38 yard line, Hardwick took a beautiful pass from Hamilton on the 3 yard line, and Cald- well carried the ball over in two smashes at the line. Hamilton drop- kicked for the extra point. Army Tries Strategy There was little doubt that Navy was outplaying the Cadets in every de- partment of the game, but soon after the second period began, Coach Jones sent eight new men, Dahl, Hammack, Born, Harbold, Wilson, Cagle, Murrell and Harding into the lineup. It had evidently been intended as a trick of strategy but the Middies set out to prove that psychology could not win football games by carrying the ball straight down the field on line smash- es, Schuber making the touchdown. Hamilton again kicked goal. With Cagle and Wilson leading the attack through the line and around the ends, the Army eleven was soon under way. Cagle broke loose for a 20 yard run around right end and Wilson, with perfect interf'erence, started around left end and cut back through tackle going the entire dis- tance for a touchdown without being touched. Harding made the point with a place-kick. The inspired Army Mule was now buffeting the Goat around almost at will but seemed unable to carry the ball over for a scpre. A break gave the Cadets their second touchdown when Harbold, end, scooped up a punt fumbled by Hannegan on his own 25 yard line, and ran the remaining dis- tance to the goal. Harding again ad- ded the extra point after touchdown. Navy Assumes Offensive It was Navy's turn to resume ac- tivities and with Shapley substituted for the injured Caldwell, It seemed as though the team would score, but the half ended too soon with the ball on Army's 40 yard line in Navy's posses- sion. The Cadets were not to be long out- played, however, for as soon as the second half had started, Cagle and Wilson began to skirt the end and run the ball through the tackle for long gains. After Wilson had mae an418 yard dash to the Navy 40 yard line, Cagle st/arted out on a wide end run and then cut back through left tackle carrying the ball ovr for a touch- down. The Annapolis dreadnaught added the necessary dramatic scoring finish to the spectacle by carrying the ball down the field in straight line smshes and end runs to tie the count. The Middies did not seem to rely any longer on the deadly air attack, at- tempting only two short passes, one of which was completed for a five yard gain, and the other being incomplete. Shapley was the main cog in the run- ning drive and finally carried the ball 3 yards around right end for a touch- down after it had seemed as though the Army was about to halt the attack in the shadow of the goal posts. Ham- ilton's drop-kick for the point ended the scoring for the day. The lineup: Army Navy Davidson......L. E.......... Lloyd Sprague .......L. T...... Wickhorst Schmidt........L.

Despite the fact that wells havel been unearthed in the process of ex- cavation, the work is not behind schedule. In fact, the foreman assert ed, the work is two months ahead of schedule. The constant flow of springs, discovered in the digging has slowed up the work, but the water is being' first of the year, declared the foreman. From 3,000 to 4,000 cubic yards of dirt are removed from the field every day. About 140,000 cubic yards remain t- be excavated. There are in all ten steam shovels doing the work, but only two of them are working at pres- ent because of the cold weather. These two machines are working on the draining system, which will drain water out of the stadium. It was while digging this drain that the wells, were uncovered.
