' Congress May Give Funds
for National Art Gallery
WASHINGTON, D. Apr. 16.—
The Sixty-ninth Congress will be ask
ed to authorize funds to build a na
tional gallery of art, at a cost vari
ously estimated from $7,000,000 to
$10,000,000, to form a fitting reposi
tory for the $5,000,000 collection, now
scattered o nthe walls of various
buildings of the Smithsonian Insti
tution. Senator Smoot of Utah, one
of the regents of the institution, will
sponsor the project.
The national gallery would be the
legal repository of all works belong
ing to the United States not legally
assigned to its other departments.
Once a building is completed, art
advocates believe, there will be an
incentive to collectors to leave their
works of art to the nation.
It_ is hoped by the sponsors of the
project that thru the gallery the na
tion will take its proper place in the
world of art, just as England has
her national gallery and the British
museum, France her Lauvre and the
Luxumburg, and Italy her national
museum in every city of importance.

FIFTH STRAIGHT FLAG
IN NATIONAL LEAGUE
AIM OF JOHN M’GRAW
NEW YORK, Apr. 17.—John Me
Graw, this season, enters upon his
24th National League campaign at the
tiller of the New York Giants in pur
suit of his fifth consecutive senior
circuit pennant.
A managerial record already stud
ded with unrivaled achievements
leaves to the New York chieftain only
an opportunity to embellish the mile
stones of his successes. With 10
championship flags streaming back
over his picturesque career, and with
the outstanding feat of leading one
club to four straight pennants, Mc
Graw can merely add in the* 1925 race
to baseball marks which now surpass
those of any pilot in the long chase of
the horsehide pellet.
McGraw took command of the New
York club on July 19, 1902, and two
seasons later his first triumph as a
leader came in the clinching of the
championship. He followed this per
formance by repeating the next sea
son. Then, after six unsuccessful pen
nant drives, the doughty diamond mar
shal produced another title combina
tion good enough to gain and hold the
peak in 1911, 1912 and 1913. The
Giants won their sixth pennant in
1917.
Four years later McGraw develop
ed the team with which he broke pre
cedent by standing off all opposition
in the last four summers from the Na
tional League pinnacle. Unlike other
clubs which have distanced the field
in more than two straight races, how
ever, the line-up entering upon the
present diamond struggle has felt
many changes and welcomed many
new faces to the fold during the period
of its supremacy.
Pennant winning streaks in the
major leagues have usually resulted
from the holding intact of a powerful
combination—such as the Athletes of
1910-1914 and the Cubs of 1906—1908
—but McGraw has not hesitated to
juggle his line-up often since the be
ginning of his championship winning
streak.
! The team which triumphed m 1023
was substantially the same as the
1922 line-up, altho McGraw counted
upon an almost completely new pitch
ing staff. Nehf was thelone star of
the 1921 team to take a regular turn,
with Watson, Bentley, Ryan, Scott,
and McQuillan contributing their share
to the triumph.
- Jackson took the veteran Bancraft’s
place at shortstop last year, while
McGraw seemed entirely satisfied with
only one outfielder, Young, and at
times sent Kelley to the gardens and
installed young Terry on first base.
Wilson, Walker, Meusel, Kelley and
Southworth all had a hand in the fly
snatching in left and center.
McGraw’s triumphs as a manager
have placed the team one penant
ahead of Chicago, last year’s success
giving the Gotham team a total of 12
championships to 11 for Chicago. Bos
ton ranks third with nine, then comes
Brooklyn with five and Pittsburgh
with four.
LAWYERS FACE TRIAL
IN CONNECTION WITH
MAIL TRAIN ROBBERY
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Apr. 17.—
Another chapter of the famous $2,
000,000 Rondout, 111., mail train rob
bery of June, 1924, is to be unfolded
here April 14, when two Little Rock
attorneys are to face trial in United
States District court on charges of
secreting and concealing from pos
tal authorities $101,000 of Herbert
Holliday’s share of the loot.
The two lawyer-defendants are
Wallace Davis, a former state attor
ney general and son of a former
governor and United States Senator,
the late Jeff Davis, and Tom Poe,
prominent young member of the bar.
They are co-defendants with J. C.
McKinley, alleged confidence man,
wiio was Holliday’s cellmate in a Chi
cago jail, and w’ho entered the stol
en bond case here soon after Holli
day had pleaded guilty and failed in
an effort to exchange his part of the
stolen money for a lightening of his
25-year sentence.
Davis and Poe were retained by
Holliday when he first w^as arrested
here, a few wTeeks after the holdup.
Holliday was returned to Chicago
milled'You’ll
like it or get
your money
back-.
and, along with five other principals,
pleaded guilty. Three others were
convicted, and all are now serving
terms at Leavenworth prison.
Soon after Holliday wTas taken to
prison, his cellmate, McKinney, came
to Little Rock, apparently followed
by a small army of postal inspec
tors. Holliday’s wife and niece, Mrs.
Ellen Holliday and Miss Helen Mc
Neil, continued to reside here.
Early in January postal inspectors
recovered $21,000 said to have been
in McKinney’s possession. McKinney,
Mrs. Holliday and Miss McNeil were
taken into custody and while they
were being held for questioning $79,
000 in Liberty bonds and other gov
ernment securities was found in a
rural mail box ten miles from the
city by postal inspectors who were
accompanied by Attorney Davis.
Mr. Davis issued a formal state
ment, explaining that he constantly
had advised his clients to turn over
■the stolen money if they knew where
it was hidden, and that he took
postal inspectors to the spot where
he had been informed it might be
found.
Mrs. Holliday and Miss McNeil
were released on their own recogni
zance and the matter rested for a
month before United States District
Judge Jacob Trieber called a special
grand jury to investigate the case.
This grand jury returned indictments
against Davis, Poe and McKinney.
Holliday was brought here from Fort
Leavenworth to testify before the
jury. His wife and niece also ap
peared before the body.
Davis and Poe pleaded not guilty
and were released on $20,000 bond
each. McKinney, being unable to
furnish bond, is being held in jail.
Demurrers to the indictments have
been overruled, and federal court of
ficials say everything is in readiness
for the trial.
Skeleton of Huge Dinosaur

Manitoba, leader of a research ex
pedition for the British museum
near Tendaguru, 60 miles north of

old. It had a probable height of 20
feet and an estimated length of 80
feet.
