place tho shipping bill with the Nor

a deplorable condition, another class

DENVER, Doc. 19. The city and

or alive, of the bandits who yester
day shot nnd killed a guard of tho
federal reserve bank and escaped
with 200,000 In currency in a sen
sational robbory in front fo tho Den

Chief of Polivc Rugg Williams was
still of tho opinion today that tho
men who committed the robbery arc
not professional bandits, and inform
ed tho Associated Press that ho was
conducting his search along that line.
He believes the robbers have not left
Denver. Last night and during the
early hours this morning pollco
made a thorough search of the room
ing houses and small hotels and
there was a general checking up of
all characters known to police.
DENVER, Dec. 19 After approxi
mately 24 hours had elapsed since
the robbery of $200,000 from a fede
ral reserve bank truck, executed with
almost unequalled daring and deter
mination, police authorities conceded
that the four feandits and their light
touring car have at least temporarily
eluded pursuit.
The thin air into which the despe
radoes seemingly vanished is being
charged with radiograms broadcast
from several stations conveying to dis
tant police stations a description of

State Athletic Board Finally
Stands By first Ruling No
Answer to) Wire Corvallis
Also Keen for Contest, May
Disregard Decision of Board
CORVALLIS, Ore., Dec. 19.
The argument between Corvallis
and Medford high schools as to
which play the New Year's game
with Toledo, Ohio, was settled, '
according to announcement here
today, on receipt of a telegram
from the Scott .high school of
Toledo, giving its vote to Corvallis.
. - -
The vote of tho Scott high school
has nothing to do With tha permission
ot the state board. The board has
stood by its first! decision and Cor
vallis is still trying to carry oft the
game in a high-handed manner.
Superintendent Smith has notified i
Corvallis by telephone that it they
play it will be under protest by Med
ford and without the sanction of the
state board. If Corvallis Insists on
playing without the permission ot the
stato beard Medford will ask that the
northern school be expelled from the
state high school athiectic association.
A wire was sent last night to Scott
high school of Toledo, Ohio, stating
that Corvallis was unable to obtain
tho permission of the state athletic
board of control and that Medford
renewed her offer of $4000 for tho
New Year's Day game.
A final decision was reached yes
terday by the state board, two mem-
; bers of which eletced to stand by
their decision ol December 9th. The
third member of the board voted to
let Scott high choose between Med
ford nnd Corvallis.
"; Tho declsibn'- :of ''. the stato board
on Docember 9th is recorded as fol
lows in the minutes of tho state
board meeting which was held on
that date: ."Permission, was given
the Modford high school, a represen
tative team of the Oregon High
School Athletic Association, to play
the Scott high . school of Toledo,
Ohio, a gatno of football about .lan.
1st, 192 3. Tho question of cham
pionship Is not to be involved In 'lie
schedulo or playing of this game.
(Signed) "V. J. MISHLER."
Not a word in the minutes of the
meeting refers to any permission
having been given to Corvallis and as
two members of the stato board havn
stood by the abovo statement and as
thoy constitute a majority, Corvallis
will not, receive permission.
If Corvallis playt the gamo on
Now Year's Day with Scott they will
undoubtedly bo expelled from tho
stale high school athletic associa
tion for disregarding the decision of
tho board. -
Modford has the .permission,'- how
ever, as Is above evidenced and hns
guaranteed the $1000 required by
Scott. No answer has ns yot been
received from Scottt but ono In ex
pected at any time. It is supposed
that before accepting Mod ford's offer
they are communicating with Cor
vallis to determine tho status ot that
team with the stato board.
Evidently Corvallis has made til?
claim that they are stato champions.
At least, a telegraphic dispatch from
Toledo contained in yesterday's Ore
gonlan refers to the northern team
as "champions ot Oregon."

SALEM, Ore.; Dec. 10. Portland's

Statements in Capper's
Weekly to Win Ship Bill
Fight Unearth Subterfuge
in Use of Minority Report.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. Accu
racy of statements mado in a ques
tionnaire sent out by Capper's Week
ly, published by Senator Capper, re
publican, of Kansas, head of the
farm bloc, to ascertain public seutl
meiit on the administration shipping
bill Is quoBtiouedd by Chairman Las-
kcr of the shipping board in a letter
received by Senator Capper.
in his lettor, mado public' by the
shipping board, Mr. Lasker told the
senator that "whatever may be your
position upon tho pending ship sub
sidy bill, am sure you do not desire
the readers of your paper to reach
their conclusion upon either inade
quate or erroneous statements."
"Because the statements In the
circular of the organ controlled by
you are not accurate and are wholly
at variance with the facts," the let
ter continued, "I feel It my duty to
you, to myself and to the people we
both represent, to give you the facts
and thus enable you to correct the er
roneous Impression your publication
has created. You certainly would not
wish and I certainly could not permit
any part ot our people to be misled
concerning the provisions of the ship
subsidy bill or the facts surrounding
it."
Mr. Lasker questioned particularly
statements in the questionnaire that
the government intended to sell Its
war built merchant fleet for approxi
mately $200,000,000, planned to
lend $125,000,000 to recondition the
ships or build others and then would
pay out about $750,000,000 .In' sub
sidles and aids to ship owners during
the next ton years.
Mr. Lasker said ho challenged any
one to find where the shipping board
over ' had proposed to soil Its" mer
chant fleet for $200,000,000. Under
existing law provision Is made for-a
$125,000,000 construction fund, he
declared, adding that tho proposed
legislation only mado slight modifi
cations In tho present law, "to meet
conditions more successfully." 1
As to the probable coat of govern
ment aid, Mr. Lasker said shipping
board officials repeatedly had advo
cated that a subsidy could not un
der any conditions exceed $30,000,
000 a year. Payment of government
aid on all American tonnago now
privately owned would cause an out
lay, ho added, of not more than $5,
500,000 n yoar. ' . . :
"The slatomenls as to the work
ings ot the subsidy bill mado in your
circulnr," Mr. Lasker slated to Son
ator Capper, "are all taken from the'
minority house report prepared by
Mr. Davis, democrat, of TcniiossoC' a
partisan report which, . overyone
Washlngton-wlso knowB, was propos
ed for political purposes and is un
justified by the facts: your words
are taken practically syllable by Billa
