Beily's Held Goal late in' Game
Give Bluejays Victory
Schmidt Is Star.
Columbia. Mo. A field goal by Art
Kelly, Creighton university guard,
gave the Bluejays of Omaha a 35-34
victory over the University of Mis
souri Tigers in a hard fought game
here Thursday night.
The Tigers had a 34 to 29 lead
with. three minutes to go, but three
field goals in rapid succession by
Schmidt, Weisner and Kelly account
ed for the one point margin The
Blue Jay . victory broke a string of
eight consecutive defeats handed the
Omaha school by Missouri.
The height and reach of Schmidt,
six foot eight Inch Creighton center,
was too much for the diminutive
Missourians in the first half which
ended with the Tigers trailing, 17 to
23.
During the first period, "Slim"
Sfhmirit sank six field eoals and add
ed a free throw. Altho held in the
second period to a single field goal,
he was the hign. point man wun ni
teen counters.
The Rluelava have the "booing"
Missouri crowd to. thank for victory.
Twice rooters became a bit boister
ous 'and twice the referee touiea
thom' Rnth times Collin converted
the aiowed tosses from the free throw
line.
The Rlnpfavn had their best scor
ing streak in the middle of the first
period when they scored eighteen
nnlnta in two for the Ti iters for a
twelve point advantage. The box

FIRE AT LEGER HOME
fin Wednesday moraine the fire
alarm was turned in and the whistle
sounded. The fire was at the home
of Sunt, and Mrs. Spencer Leger.
They were using the east porch to
their home and were doing tne iam
ilv wash. .To keen it warm they had
a irasoline heater going. In some way
gasoline had leaked out and caught
fire. The whole Interior or the porcn
wan soon in flames ana wnen tne
alarm was given there happened to
he several close by scooping snow.
They rushed to the scene of the fire
and shoveled snow on the same and
soon had it out. However the interior
of the porch was badly scorched and
the curtains were badly damaged. It
was a narrow escape from a real nre
for had not those been present scoop-
Ine snow to assist, it would have
gotten even a greater start and re
quired the work of the firemen. The
firemen were right on the Job and
many were soon on the scene to do
their work. Elmwood Leader-Echo.

Decrease in
Crime Seen by
Sheriff Entires
Thinks Crooks Run Out of State
Co-Operation of County Sher
iffs Highly Praised.
RtntP Sheriff Michael Entires, in
office a year Friday, is convinced that
major crimes in Nebraska have de
creased during the past twelve
months. To county sheriffs and at
torneys, and the. co-operation they
have given to the state department,
Endres attributes much of the lessen
ing in crime.
Ordinary stick-uDs are rare com
pared to what they have been, Endres
believes. Many of the floaters or tne
underworld have stayed out of Ne
braska, or have been chased out, ne
said. Likewise, many have gone to
the penitentiary.
The state law enforcement depart
ment has concentrated on major
crimes, but has given much time to
the apprehension of bootleggers wun
the result that many liquor violators
have been convicted. The department
employs six deputies, all experienced
men.
There were eiehteen bank robber
ies or attempts during 1931, eleven
of which were solved by the arrest
and conviction of one or more of the
robbers in each case. Three robberies
were attempted, but unsuccessful.
while there are four still unsolved.
In one of the latter, however, the
sheriff has valuable clues which may
lead to early arrests.
rcitrht murders were reported to the
office during the year, four of which
have been entirely cleared up. Two
outstanding mysteries remain, the
killing of Frederick Patterson, at
Rock Bluffs on Sept. 12th, and the
killing or burning to death of an
unidentified man in a school house
near Brainard.
REED LEANS TO ALOOFNESS
Springfield, Mo. James A. Reed,
former United States senator, who
has said he would consider it a com
pliment to have the Missouri delega
tion support him for the democratic
presidential nomination, submitted
Friday night a "victory" platform for
the party. Simplification of govern
ment at home and a "hands off" for
eign policy werethe keynotes sound
ed at a Jackson day banquet by the
man who was Missouri's favorite son
aspirant for the-democratic presiden
tial nomination in 1028.
"These beneficient objects will
never be accomplished by the present
republican body." said Reed in a pre
pared address, holding the Hoover
administration answerable for a gov
ernment which "has its nose in every
kitchen and its finger in every enter
prise." I . 'U.
Declaring congress "without any
right whatsoever, except the right of
power." cancelled the foreign indebt
edness. Reed directed another verbal
thrust at the moratorium. Saying a
movement is afoot to cancel all for
eign indebtedness. Reed urged the
United States to "preserve her integ
rity, protect her coasts and attend to
her own business' and let the worM
attend to its business."
AID THRU BANKS ASKED
'Kansas Citv Assistance to agri
culture thru the banks was recom
mended in resolutions passed at a
conference here on livestock market
ing conditions. The conference was
called bv .1. H. Mercer, secretary of
the Kansas Livestock association, and
was attended bv nackers. bankers
stockmen of the middlewest and
southwest. One resolution urged
that the first consideration of the
proposed reconstruction corporation
be to aid banks, particularly small
banka in agricultural communities.
Another ureed the federal reserve
banks to hold their discount rates to
a minimum and to broaden require
ments regarding eligible paper so as
to include any kind of dependaDie
agricultural security such as land,
other resolutions' ureed that deben
tures be made eligible to rediscount
at all federal reserve banks and mat
an eftort be made to include all state
banks in the federal reserve bank
system.
SAY WOMEN ARE CAPTIVES
Darwin, Australia A story that
two white women, are being held cap
tive by wild blacks in the far north
of Australia was told by members of
the Myall tribe. Newspapers are de
manding the government send a res
cue expedition, aided by airplanes,
into Arnhem land to bring the
women out.
The Myalls, a primitive tribe with
a good reputation, declare that two
white "lubras," one old and one
young, have been in Arnhem land
"for many moons" and are regarded
as powerful witches by their captors.
