Sewlniid (Associated Press Spolts Writer) BERKELEY, ' Ca)., Jan. 13 Iff) University of California's Bears, once the toast of far western football, will bid for gridiron glory this year un der the leadership of Smiling Bill Ingram, late of the W. S. Naval acad emy. ' Announcement of the appointment of : "Navy Bill" was made yesterday by the executive committee of the associated students, ruling body of student affairs at the university. It was a mere formality as Ingram had hepn -Ritmed to a three-year- contract ten d&vs ' previously by Graduate f HFEHeadynal1 IMSl record ?Sc u assistants, one prooaoiy c. c ramur, sistant to Knute Rocknc at Notro Dame, is in Hue for the other as sistant berth under Ingram. Neither a "miracle man" of foot ball nc." one of the old masters, In gram, nevertheless, has a record com parable to that of any of the young er conches. He is 34 years old. Graduate Manager Monona n com mented on his selection as follows: "We have chosen Ingram because of his Bplendld qualities of person ality and leadership." ' Ingram was a backfield star for Navy from 1916 to 1918, being-named jMl-AmeriCRn quarterback" in the lat ter year. He learned football under Gil Doble and in 1919 Was recalled to Annapolis to act as the latter's assistant. ' ' " No mention was made of salary but it It believed he will receive at least $10,000 per year, possibly $12, 000 and not more than $15,000. It authorized to offer an high $15,000.

Six seasoned performers coming back next fall include, Schal dach, Griffiths, Gill, Valianos and Klrwan, backfield men, and Fritz Calm, tackle. . Ingrain is known as an "attacking strategist" and favors the Warner wing-back formation, necessarily modified by his own type of play. In Henry Schaldach, brilliant sopho more halfback last year, he will have a fleet-footed ball carrier such as this system of offense requires. Coaches in this section whose teams will oppose those of Ingram, had high words of praise for the new comer. Shawkey Loses In Race With Death MIAMI BEACH, Pla., Jan. 13 (A1) A scant twenty minutes after her husband had left Jacksonville aboard an airplane in an effort to reach her bedside, Mrs. Jacqueline Shawkey, wife of Bob Shawkey, former New York Yankee manager, died In a hos pital here early today. i Airs. onawKey,-" wnu was - or yvm a jiuold and a native of -Denver, Colo-' rado, succumbed to pneumonia, an ailment with which she was stricken shortly after arriving here from New York last Friday.

MARIE KARDOS IS EXECUTED TODAY (Continued fcira rage One) from tho scaffold. She sprang back screaming but was reassured when her friends told her the executioner was a doctor. This morning she arose and dressed unassisted and sipped a cup of coffee before being led weeping into the prison courtyard where seventy pcr U sons were assembled to witness her f death. She prayed there again for ;. a moment and then was led to the gallows where the president of the court read the sentence of death to Ml her. Concluding, he addressed the executioner: "Hangmen do your ) duty." j An attending physician pronounced i her unconscious within a few sec- onds and dead in eight minutes. Her ii body was left on the gallows for half J an hour and then cut down and t plnced ln a coffin in the prison t morgue. Tno hanging followed the pec liar Hungarian method. The two os sis tan ts drew her feet toward them 4 as the stool was knocked from be ; neath her. The hangman, holding her face with a handkerchief, turned ' it from side to side until she was pronounced dead when he lifted his ' hat and Informed the president of the court that the sentence had been f carried out. One of the condemned woman's last callers was the man known here i' abouts as her sweetheart, Stefan To- i dor. who arrived In a sleigh . this morning and was admitted to the y prison to see her. She received him coiaiy. Todor obtained permission to wlt- ness the execution and bhouted fran tically, threatening everybody around him when the woman was pinioned at the gallows and had to be re moved. While standing on the footstool beneath the scaffold Frau Kardos asked a delay in order to speak to her sister but the Judge did not re ply. Hundreds of persons saw the final motions of the execution from . roofs surrounding the prison. The condemned woman last night refused any sleeping draught but to day she took'Several gltv.ea at r.isruly to steady her nerves. Big Ed Dudley Wins journey By Two Strokes LOS ANGELES, Cal..

Buyers of fire insurance indirectly but actually contribute a vast sum approximately. 30 million dollars annually in taxes, most of which are of a special nature and In addition to the regular taxes borne by insurance com- " panies.' Such taxes are ' a burden 'upon' Wi ' premium of the policyholder, notwithstanding they are collected from tbe companies. The original purpose of taxes on the premiums paid by policyholders was to maintain state supervision of the business. However, such supervision now uses but a few cents of each dollar so collected. The balance goes into the general funds of the states. Add to the Cost of Insurance These special and regular state taxes are factors in the cost of insurance. The opinion of the Chamber of Commerce of the United , States has been expressed as follows: " ; ; ; Special state taxes now levied on policyholders through insurance com panies should not be considered as a source of general revenue, but should be reduced to the total in each state which will adequately support such state's departmental supervision , ; . " STOCK FIRE INSURANCE companies transact by far the greater portion of the fire insurance business of the country. They want you to realize this tax situation and its effect upon the cost of your insurance.
