Brooklyn's Pay Roll Now $200,000 CLEARWATER, Fla., March 18th Salary roll of Brooklyn National Bank for 1925 exceeds $200,000, it was declared today by close friend of Charley Ebbetts, president, Six o'clock's employee, exclusive of Manager Wilbert Robinson, will receive in excess of $7,000 per annum, this friend of Ebbetts said. The favored sextette, it is understood consists of Dazzy Vance league's leading pitcher; Burleigh Grimes, human salvary gladiator Jack Fournier, first baseman; Zach Wheat, star outfielder; Milton Stock, who may or may not make grade at third base, and Jimmy Johnston. Vance has been offered three-year contract for $47,500 and in timates he might accept same in squire will strike out ten-day clause. It doesn't seem to have occurred to Dazzy that he might do well to sign with all haste before the squire thinks better of it. Grimes, they say, has been tendered two-year contract of $14,000. He wants $15,000 or so, it has alleged. He, too, seems to have forgotten Mr. Ebbett's notable lack of carelessness in money matters. Fournier is said to have uncovered a system whereby he can skeleton an existence on two-year contract signed in 1924 and calling for an advance of $4,000.

Turner, former Univ. of Kansas football player, is defendant today as police attempt to learn more of circumstances that led up to death of Mrs. Dora Gage, Atchison divorcee, with whose murder he is charged. He refused to reply to questions regarding whereabouts of $8,000 note Mrs. Gage gave him on sale of tarm. He also declined to discuss with police his business connections with Atchison. He was known in Kansas City as a real estate man of Atchison, gut in his home town little was known of his business. He had no office and took many trips, drawing large sums of money from bank each time. "A NIGHT IN PADRO" An atmospheric prologue will be presented at the United theatre three nights, beginning Sunday, in connection with the feature film, "California in '49." The artists engaged by Manager Anderson are exceedingly interesting. Chalma Liddsey and Pustineta Lucero, talented Spanish dancers, have just finished a 10-day engagement at the National Orange Show. Babe Daniels, a well-known Anaheim girl, has appeared in vaudeville in a number of large theatres and has a well-trained voice of sweetness and charm. Jesus Garcia, a native of old Spain, brings with him the grace of the dons of the early days when life in California was full of glamour and romance, and his songs bring these days vividly to mind. Special settings of great beauty have been designed for the prologue. The elaborate costumes worn by the palyers and the colorful lighting effects will make the prologue production of delight. WM. SPERBER, JR., GIVES GALLON GAS Autoists may get free gas—no, not hot air, but free gasoline—at the service station of William Sperber, Jr., 345 West Center-st, all day tomorrow. The only strings attached to the proposition are that five gallons of gasoline must be purchased, and one gallon then will be given absolutely free, according to Sperber, who claims he is using this method of profit-sharing to let Anabelmers know they can always get "100 per cent service and a square deal" at his place. "I want all of my good faithful customers to take advantage of my free gas offer this Saturday," Sperber declared today, "and I THRILLING STUNTS IN 'THE AIR HAWK' Zam! Goes another plane in the cause of realism. At least three airplanes were wrecked while filming the first Al Wilson aviation melodrama, "The Air Hawk," at the United theatre tonight and tomorrow. One plane was shattered to fragments in the race, in which Wilson proves himself an airman of skill and darling. The other was lost when it banged head-on against the side of a mountain. The other sank in the lashing waters of the Pacific. Thus is money expended in the mobile cause of art. "The Air Hawk," in which the intrepid Mr. Wilson makes his bow as a real star of the cinema, is rated by critics as one of the most amazingly thrilling productions ever put upon the screen. In it Mr. Wilson, an American ace, risks his life no less than a dozen times. Woven into the thrills and chases and stunts is a love story in which the romantic flavor is provided by the charming Virginia Browne Faire, who also risks her slender neck with all the nonchalance becoming a star. Everyone will be glad to know that tiny sweetheart of the screen will be seen in her latest comedy success, "Jack and the Bean Stalk. You haven't seen this tiny star for some time, but she is sweeter than ever and will afford you many a hearty laugh. Now it's the boy's turn, Manager Anderson has arranged a special matinee for them Saturday, and 50 of the luckiest ones are going to receive a Hi-Flyer kite. And for all the kiddies there will be free candy. Oh! Goody. OREGON AGGIES ONE UP ON BEARS CORVALLIS, Ore., March 13. Oregon Aggies were one up on the California Bears today, following their 32 to 25 victory here last night in the first of the three games to decide the Pacific coast basketball title. "Red" Ridings, sensational forward, and Waldo Stooddard, guard, beat the Bears. Ridings bagged 16 counters and Stooddard was good for 14. Coach Price's men could not stop this pair in their frequent assaults on the basket. Many shots were from long range. The Aggie percentage system of holding back and then breaking thru when an opportunity presented itself, seemed to mystify California. Jorgenson counted 10 for the Bears and Higgins made 8 points at center. Cincent Borleske of Whitman College refereed and William H. Hollander of Okland umpired.

Yea, Dodgers have pennant best They claim they will either win or club that does will think it is being chased by Nurmi. It is their idea that team which almost won last year in stretch, after break-up infield in mid-season should come home on the bit with the cast intact over a full season. They think so well of them selves, in fact, that they have made few changes, except to acquire "Cotton" Tierner from Boston and permit Washington Senators take title to "Dutch" Reuther. At present infield is lining up as it finished 1924 season, to with Fournier; first base; High; second base; Mitchell; shortstop Stock; third base. If latter doesn't hit he will be replaced without ceremony by Tierney; whence being made over into third baseman Johnston is playing shortstop on second team so he can be moved into Johnny Mitchell's shoes in case Johnny does a flop, as most or less anticipated.

The latter 25 home runs for Portland last year and looks part of real baseball player. The regular catchers will be De Berry and Taylor, as of yore. In addition to Vince and Grimes, pitchers will be Rudhrardt, one of National League-1924 sensations; Dutch Henry and Nelson Green, left handers with club last year; Tiny Osborne, en Cub, and John Hollingsworth who once got trial with Senators; Gu Cantrell from Muskogee; Jimmy Roberts from Little Rock, and Lefty Schwartz; a semi-pro around but it is understood Robb plans to correct that feature or situation in due time.

"I want all of my good faithful customers to take advantage of my free gas offer this Saturday," Sperber declared today, "and I hope also to give gas to my others who, I believe, will become regular customers after they have given my service station a trial."

Coolidge, and Norris, Rep. of Neb., joined with the Democrats in opposing nomination. No effort was made by administration forces to bring Warren before committee to reply to Democrates' attack on his activities for sugar companies. Pres. Coolidge threw his personal influence into battle today to compel senate to confirm Warren as attorney general. Senator W. H. McMaster, new Republican from S. D., who voted against Warren on Tuesday, was summoned to White House this morning and was closed with president some time. They discussed the Warren matter at length. Soon after McMaster departed, Sen. Wm. E. Borah of Idaho, who also voted against Warren, arrived at executive offices in a White House limousine dispatched for him. Pres. Coolidge discussed Warren appointment with him also. The adverse report was a complete reversal of decision reached by committee when it first acted upon nomination a week ago. On that occasion, appointment was favorably reported. Sen. Borah told president he say no chance for reversal of senate's rejection of Warren. The president is understood to have said that this information did not coincide with his own-secured from lieutenants who believed there was a chance for nomination to be approved. This optimistic view was said to have been predicated on belief held by few administration senators, that Senators Norbeck and McMaster of South Dakota could be prevailed upon to swing support to Warren.
