Quint Trims Soldiers Score 36 to 28 In a fiercely contested game of bas ketball, with the result undecided un lil the last moments of play, the Wil mington Athletic association's quint wound up its home schedule last night in- scoring a brilliant victory ver the scrappy soldier basketeers from 'amp Bragg at the T. M. C. A. The rcore was 36 to 28. Although outweighed, man for man, by the cannoneers, the locals , put up hi excellent brand of the indoor game, passing and shooting well, and show ing an aggressive spirit that finally triumphed. Every member of the local five showed up to splendid advantage. Snakenburg and Gieschen, association 'nrwards, ran a neck and neck race at point scoring the former getting seven field 'baskets and the latter eight successful shots, six times from scrim mage, and twice from the foul line. Gore, the local's burly center, was up against a hard man in Balmer, the former University of Washington cen ter, but held him down in fine style. Williams had the fastest man on the floor to guard in Thornburg, but did i good job of it in addition to pocket ing the ball twice at critical moments. Hand, the other local guard, 6roke up pass after pass and played a reliable passing game on the offensive.

AGREE ON WHEAT RATE OF '35 CENTS BUSHEL House and Senate Tariff ferees Get Together Con- WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. A compro mise agreement fixing the tariff on wheat at 35 cents a bushel was reached today by senate and house conferees considering the Fordney emergency tariff bill. The wheat schedule was one of the principal stumbling blocks of the con ferees. The house rate was 30 cents per bushel and the senate 40 cents. The agreement on 35 cents was said to .in volve the question of the difference in the rate of exchange. 1 Disagreements over the sugar, to bacco, hides and cherries schedules continued among the conferees who will resume their work tomorrow. Among minor adjustments agreed on today was a change in the rate on olives not' packed in-solution, from five to three cents a pound. The senate conferees receded on the cotton schedule, agreeing to placing a rate of seven cents a pound on cot ton having a staple of 1 3-8 inches or more in length, as provided by the house. The senate had voted to reduce the staple to 1 1-8 inches. For the purpose' of forming into one association all Cape Fear river and bar J puots, a biU has been placed in the hands of Senator K. O. Burgwln and Representative Enrmett Bellamy, by persons who have interested them selves in the local ilotage situation, with a request that, they: exert, all efr fort to have the measure passed at the present session of the - general assem bly. This has been learned from par ties in close touch with pilotage matters. It is understood that the purpose of the bill is to bring together the 'two existing factions of pilots, with hopes of bettering the situation and' forever doing away with the extreme comrjew tition which: now goes on, and. has for many years, between the two sets of pilots, the most of whom reside at Southport. For years there has been one "ring" of pilots' who claim that they are in the established pilots' association, and another-"ring" who declare that they are not in the organization and refuse to abide by any of the rules estab lished by the association. They do, however, abide by the rules of the board of navigation and pilotage. If passed the proposed bill will bring together into the established associa tion all of the pilots, putting everyone of them on the same footing and pro viding for each absolutely the same opportunity. It Is believed by local shipping In terests that if the pilots were operat ing under a single set of regulations, those which will be set up by the as sociation, the port as a whole will be greatly benefited. In the years past the pilots of the opposite factions have done almost su perhuman "stunts" to outdo the other fellow and get to a vessel, off the Cape Fear river bar calling for a pilot, first.

The penal in stitutions committee of the senate to night voted unfavorably on the McCoin resolution of yesterday, demanding that the board of directors of the state prison make an. explanation to the gen eral assembly for its failure to vacate the prison property and turu it over to the state hospital for the insane. In double quick time, it sat down on the Vance senator's resolution, and acted favorably on the one to repeal the 1919 law which directed the trans fer.

CONGRESSMAN DECLARES THE ' CONGRESS IS MISREPRESENTED WASHINGTON, Feb .23. Charges that Congress has failed to provide adequate hospital facilities for wounded and sick war veterans are unjustified, Chairman Good of the ap propriations committee, declared today on the floor of the house.

"There are 3,853 empty beds in gov ernment hospitals today that could be utilized," Mr. Good declared. . He chal langed statements of Ewing La Porte, assistant secretary of the treasury In charge of public health, that hospital facilities were inadequate and said he did not know "why a young man about 26 years old down in the treasury de partment as an assistant .secretary doesn't send men to hospitals we have provided for them."
