Aims to Destroy
 Baseball Contracts Nothing But Slavery Ayers Hartman, Former Ball
 Player
fspeciaI from United Press. }

San Francisco, Jan. 2S.-If State Senator Hartman is returned to the upper house of the legislature he will introduce a bill striking at the very heart of organized baseball and calcu- lated to nulify all existing contracts between players and magnates. Hart man was once a baseball player him. self and he says his bill will be openly aimed at organized baseball because he believes it nothing more or less than baseball slavery.
 He will base his bill upon the thir- teenth amendment to the Federal con- stitution prohibiting slavery and invol- untarv servitude The bill will declare in effect that it is misdemeanor. pen atty to be fixed by the legislature, for anyone to compel a baseball player to play with any club unless he wants to after the expiration of his contract.
 The bill will refer, of course, only to such contracts in California, but if the courts of this state uphold 1t, 1t is expected that the agitation will ra- pidly spread all over the country.

DENNISON WAS NEAR HERE WHEN LITTLE
 PHILIP WAS SLAIN
Superintendent Birmingham Not In Accord With Theory Involving Him.

Superinte endent Birmingham is not in sympathy with the theory that Her. bert Jerome Dennison, the maniac now suspected of not only the Lomas and Shibley boys murders in High Bridge park, but still another homicide is the slayer of little Philip Mastroianno who was found dead in the woods in the northeastern outskirts of the city in October 1907.
 Investigation of the whereabouts of Dennison about the time the murder has disclosed a number of significant facts, which coupled with the descrip- tions of the strange man seen about the scene of the Mastroianno murder, has not tended to weaken the theory.
 Dennison was an inmate of the san ltarium of Dr. Mcfarland, in Greens Farms, in June, 1S08,. When he was admitted there, his mother said he had been in Middletown for six or eight months as pr. Mcfarland recollects her story. Eight months would bring Dennison's admission to the Middle town institution to November 1907. In September, 1907, Dennison is known to have been with his mother in private house in Westport, and subsequently he removed to private houses in other towns in this vicinity. Where he was on Oct. 6, when little Philip Mastroi- ammo was murdered, has not yet been learned.
 It has been pointed out that the MastrOianno boys body was bound with shoe strings in the manner often used by demonstrators of the black art in binding subjects. Dennison was formerly associated with Hermann the Great, and the binding of the youths arms with shoestrings draw ing the elbows together at his back leads to the belief that one familiar with such methods might readily have knotted the Snoestrings together.
 Two youngsters who accompanied Philip to the woods on Oct. 6, have since been sent to the Reform School where they have been interviewed and have reiterated the story they originally told of the dark, bewhis- kered man who dragged Philip away from them as they fled.

FAKE QUADRUPLETS CAUSE PROBING OF BIG BABY FARM
(special from United Press.

Los Angeles, Jan. 28.-Many fathers here are today looking into the eyes of their children to see if they pos sess any resemblance to their parents, following the startling testimony of Mrs. c. E. Smith that she had provided homes for more than three hundred babies in Los. Angeles and that until now none of the "supposed' fathers had been any the wiser. Mrs. Smith who was forced to tell of her corpora tion", after furnishing Mrs. w. w. Wilson with four children which the latter tried to palm off several days ago on her husband as quadruplets born to her, says this was a favorite means adopted by mothers whose hus- bands wanted children, to escape the care and pain incident to confinement.
 The four homeless babies adopted by Mrs. Wilson were brought into court and the real mothers of the infants were summoned and identified the tots. As a result of-the statement made by Mrs. Smith, the polide are today in- vestigating the conduct of such ma- ternity hospitals as that operate by Mrs. Smith and the matter will be placed before the Grand Jury for con- sideration.

 BROUGHT TO HEAD
DIR. RICHARDS, FORMER NIEDI- CAL EXAMINER OF NATIONAL LIFE, WILL BE IMPORTANT WITNESS AGAINST RINGLEAD- FRS OF FRAUDS.

Louisville, Ky, Jan. 2S.-Dr. William R. Richards of New Albany, coroner of Floyd County Ind. and former medical examiner of the National Life Insurance Company of Indianapolis, is to be one of the most important witt nesses in the insurance swindle which was brought to a head yesterday by the arrest of John keane. Tim O'Leary and Pat Needham, who were alleged to be the ringleaders of the plot to defraud their company by in- suring physical wrecks.
 That he suspected wholesale frauds against the insurance companies be- cause of a sudden increase in the num- Der of applicants for insurance, brought to him to be examined, was the statement made by pr. Richards.
 Richards is said to have admitted he signed certificates of health for appli- cants for insurance whom he did not know, had not seen nor examined. He said, however, that he had signed such certificates only when he had been assured by the agents of the company that the risk was a good one. Richards was asked if he would turn states evidence to which he would only reply that he would help the company all he could"
 Weeks ago I suspected that everr- IQluR was not TlSnl, Sdlu LIT. INlCH- ards, flor the number of applicants for insurance, assumed enormous pro- portions I could not reconcile this sudden growth of business with that past and while feeling in my mind that everything was not right, I could ac- cuse no one and so rendered my resig- nation.

HARD SHEDDING
 FOR STATE ST.
 GRADING SCHEME
Some Aldermen Object to Improving Approach to
 Bridge of Realty Com

The aldermanic street committee of last year recommended an appropria- tion of $1,5OO for street grading in State street extension. at point where the filling would make an approach for the bridge that the Bridgeport Land & Title Co.,, intends to build across Ash creek to improve building lots that it owns in the town of Fairfield.
 Auditor Heating, in making out his report, did not recommend the spe- cial appropriation for the grading, but allowed the sum of $2,100 for all streets and it will be up to the new street committee to decide where the money will be spent.
 An alderman said this morning, that if the city is going to grade State St., to the proposed bridge, the city's part of the cost will be many times the cost of the bridge, which the company is to pay about $1, 800 to erect. He said that the ground is soft and that once the city takes the burden of keeping an approach to the bridge in condition it will spend more for the improvement than it will get back. e
