Jan. 26 VP) Loud pro tests came today from Seattle base ball Interests In reply to charges that "nothing had been done" to straight en out the tangled, financial affairs of the Indians, toy Pacific coast lea gue officials In California.- "The transfer of control of1 the new group will go through by the first of the wetilt," said William (Bald BUI) Klepper, former president) and a prominent stockholder. - "We're not depending on anyone In California to keep the Indians alive," said Attorney George Vanderveer, the main stockholder. . ( Thir comments came In reDlv to statements In California, by Hylandj Baggerly, -league president, and Wll- j llam Lane, owner of the Hollywood Stars, that with the new year creep ing along Uttto had been done here on the proposed change of control of the club. Lane also said he favored a six-club league for 1834, dropping both Seattle and Portland. SEALS STRONGER THIS YEAR THAN IN 1933 SEASON SAN FRANCISCO UP) San Fran cloco's Seals made a sorry showing In the 1033 Pacific coast league race but Manager Ike Caveney views the forth coming season with genuine opti mism. The reason Is, for the Ilrst time since taking over the reins. "Ike" has wliat appears to be a class AA team. After the club had finished third from the bottom last year, Vice Presi dent Charles Graham decided some thing should toe done about it. He negotiated a deal whereby the Chi cago Cubs took over Augle QaJon. For this prize recruit, who started at sec ond and finished up at short and played brilliantly at both positions, the Cubs presented the Seals with seven players. For Oalan comes LcRoy Herrman, Sam Gibson, Wyn Ballon and Walter Molls, all pitchers; Larry Woodall and Hugh McMullen, catchers, and Lenny Backer. Infielder. Some deal I Without doubt the most improve ment in the team will be behind the plate Woodall and McMulien are proven workmen. The Seals1 catching last year was weak as boarding house coffee. The present combination will stand up with any in the circuit. .Caveney's main pitching problems probably will be when and where to work his fllngera. Herrman and Gib son, the newcomers, and Jimmy Zlnn, holdover, can be counted upon for regular service. Bollou and Mails, older in years and service, than the others will have to .be timed on their starts to make them most effective. Besides these there are Bill Hender w who thinks he wllljmkoa f ne comeback tms season. -o - willing southpaw, and Eddie Stute.

The pioneers burled there will, be removed to the pioneer cemetery on Gravelly lake to make room for the expansion of the Western State hospital on the old Fcrt Steilacoom grounds. There Is no record of the establishment of the cemetery but a soldier was burled there as early as 1854. It is not known how many bodies are burled but more than a score of markers still stand. Amona the uraves aro those of Colonel and Mrs. William H. Wallace whose position In Pacific Northwest history should entitle them to more than the wooden slabs oyer their graves. Col.

Later Col. Wallace served as a pall bearer at the Lincoln funeral. SKY BLUE SATIN U8B1 FOIl FKOOK . PARIS Wl The Baronne de Roths child wears a smart evening frock of sky blue satin.

MORE ACTIVITY IN CUTTING DOWN ACREAGE LIKELY WASHINGTON w Additional ac tivity in reducing wheat acreage next spring la In prospect as farm adminis tration officials survey the possibility of winter wheat production exceeding tlie figure expected. They face the threat that the full acreogo reduction of 16 .per cent will not be achieved in the production control program now under way. Pro duction control figures checked, with report of the orop reporting board showed that only 77 per cent of the reduction expected In winter wheat plantings had been secured. Under terms of the international wheat agreement the United States agreed to reduce both production end oxporta' by 16 .per cent. Officials today attributed the fail ure of the reduction to reach the-' level expected as in large part due to farmers who did not sign the pro duction .control contracts increasing their plantings. Only about one- luuirn oi tone aiscropoiu;y wua uuo lj failure of contract signers to fulfill their obligations, they declared. Many contract signers who did not make the full 18 per cent reduction called for in their contract will make up for It In cutting their sowings of spring wheat, officials added, and de clared that unless the contract was filled in full In this manner farmera would not receive their second bene fit payments. Hope Is held for a heavy winter killing of wheat to assist In cutting production by the full 16 per cent for the country. FATHER NOOY PRESIDES AT SCHMIDT RITES Rev. 6.
