The score was 3-0, a 17-yard drop kick In the third period by Smith, a substitute end, giving the Tigers victory Smith's name will go down In Princeton pigskin history with those of the famous Poes, John Dewitt, Sam White and others, who with sterling gridiron deeds, have scored winning points for their alma mater.

Magee md Director George W. McCandless on the reported retirement of the director as head of the safety de partment, but this had noeffect on activity in circles, to provide a successor. There was no denial that the director's service is likely to terminate at any time. It las been known generally that he accepted the office as an accommo-iatlon and served in that spirit and that further, within the past few weeks, the accommodation has become irksome to him. Some of his friends are said to have asserted that he is likely to await a reasonable time for provision being made to relieve him, but at any time he may decide to "walk out" if too great a strain is made on his patience.

English Mentioned. Testerday the more or less startling report was circulated among an inside few that Councilman W. T. English is being advanced by potent forces to succeed Director McCandless. English's appointment, it was stated, would present a much more favorably situation in council, as viewed from the administration standpoint, mat wuJd that of John S.

McQuaide and Walsh left the police service with reputations that call them back for public mention in connection with appointments affecting the safety work.

McQuaide served as supcr-lntendnt In the first Magee administra tion and it is said repeated efforts have been made to get him back into the public service. Former Director Robert J.

18. Representative Mann of Illinois let it be known today that under no circumstances would he be a candidate for the speakership of the House to succeed Speaker Gil-lett of Massachusetts, or for the Republican leadership to succeed Representative Mondell of Wyoming. His refusal to enter the race is believed to have left the field clear for Ppeaker Gillett for re-election as Mann was his only prospective formidable rival. For the leadership, the. chances appear favorable to the candidacy of Longworth of Ohio, although many western Republicans are l'kely to support Anderson of Minnesota.

"The position. It was stated, has been offered to Mrs. Lawrence and she will accept it.

Another attempt to stabilize the peace of Europe will be undertaken here next Monday with, the inauguration of the Near Eastern conference attended by practically all the powers of Western and Southeastern Europe.

B4I.L. When Gifford Pinchot takes possession the governor's office January 16, he will find as a gift from the Sproul administration a deficit in the obligations of the state close "to $60,000,000. This amount represents appropriations made by the Legislature In excess of the commonwealth's revenues. To wipe out this deficit and? place the state again on a "pay-as-you-go" probably will be the most difficult task confronting the new executive. For many, years Republican administrations have been spending more money than revenues could supply.

Instead of keeping appropriations within the Income, each succeeding legislature has added more to tie deficit, until today Pennsylvania finally awakens to find a debt of startling Just what plans he may have for eliminating the deticit, Mr. Pinchot has ktpt to himself. may attempt to have of 1K3 Wipe It all out.

State Court Again Upholds Coal Tax Judge Hargest Denies Appeals Involving $524,010.08. HARRISBURG. Nov. of the Pennsylvania anthracite tax was upheld today by President Judge William 1L Hargest, "in deciding asrainst appeals of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company and the Mill "Creek Coal Company from the tax assessed, by the auditor general, amounting in the case of the former to and in the latter $9,706.88. The court upheld the act in the Thomas Colliery case last spring and the appeal from this decision was argued early this week in the supreme court of the United States.

"The fact that this act prescribes no uniform basis for ascertaining the value does not make it unconstitutional," says the judge. "So such basis is usually prescribed for assessors who are required to assess ad valorem taxes. There is nothing in the act that requires the same tax dollars cents to be applied to every ton of anthracite coal regardless of its quality or the slze3 into which it is broken. The rule of reason is to be applied to the enforcement of this law." Post-Office Clock Silenced to Let Lexington Sleep WASHINGTON, Nov. IS.
