There is much speculation as to whether
or not Bobby Wallace is going to be
successful manager or not But how is
Wallace going to prove his ability this
year. The team which has been turned
over to him is undoubtedly the weakest in
the league, and should not get out of last
place unless some of the other teams fall
dead 1t is not fair to Wallace to judge
his ability a leader on the showing he
will make the coming season. After
Hedges has procured a team which is a
few notches better than a class B league
proposition. Wallace may be judged, but
not until then.
One must admire Bob Groom's nerve
when he demands an increase of salary.
When the last season closed it looked
like cinch that Groom would never wear
a Washington uniform again. The fact
that his work was most unsatisfactory
here made him unpopular. and it was in
deed question If the time would ever
come when he would be able to hold his own
with other major league pitchers Groom
showed no improvement over the previous
year, his first in fast company. But he
figures that he is entitled to more salary
than he is getting. Sir Robert cannot be
blamed for trying. but it would be wise
for him to show something before he at
temptS to get the increase he demands.
According to Jack johnson. Carl Nor
ris's success Is due to the fact that all
his fights are prearranged. The cham
pion declares that Morris must be as
sured of victory before he steps into
the ring. He offers as evidence that Kid
Menehan. his sparring partner. had a
proposition made him to come to Sapulpa
and fight Morris providing he would agree
to lay down. 1t is further contended that
Morris fight with Mike Schreck was
called off because Schreck refused to
lay down.
These are serious charges and Morris
could only disprove them by coming east
and meeting one of the topnotch heavy
weights before reputable club. In MAX
ing these charges Johnson expresses re-
gret. for. he says he was hoping that Nor
ris would develop SO that he would event

GOVERNOR HARMON
RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE GRAFT PROBE
This Sudden Springing of Bribery
Scandal Has Had Splendid
Effect in Passage of Progress
sive Measures Which Ohio's
Democratic Executive Pledged
in His Reforms
Especial from United Press.)


Columbus, O., May 3-Despite his
Burns detectives because he wanted to
trap them, George B. Nye, of the
Steering committee of the Lower
House of the Legislature will be COM
PEELED to explain in court.
Governor Harmon, who was directly
ton, testified before the Grand Jury
that the money turned over to the
Speaker by Nye as part of the money
given him were not the bills furnish
ed him by the detectives. The Gov
ernor had marked this money which
has not yet been located. Nye'S COM
panions on the steering committee
have abandoned him, their resigna-
tions now being before the House
and will probably be acted upon to-
day or tomorrow
According to the Governor and the
district attorney, members of the
prosecution, the men Caught with the
goods' are anxious to get immunity
and are eager to tell their stories to
the Grand Jury but thus far have
been refused. If any are given i'm
munfty it will be those who are serv-
ing their first terms.
When the Grand Jury met, today,
fully score of members of the Leg
islature were in Prosecutor Turner's
office. Some were there to tell what
they had heard and aid the prosecu
ton in every way possible. Others
We're there to see if they could not
make things easier for themselves,
they preferring to take chances at
lighter sentence by confession.
This sudden springing up Of the
bribery scandal has had most as
tonishing effect on the passage of
progressive legislation. The present
Democratic Legislature with a Dem
ocratfc Governor was pledged to
lengthy program of reforms but re-
dictionary Democrats had succeeded in
blocking practically every progressive
measure promised. Yesterday, how
ever, there was a scurry of the legis-
lators to redeem themselves and the
Senate hurriedly passed the bill for
the Oregon plan of direct election Of
United States Senators while half
dozen other progressive measures in
both houses, that had been hopeless
ly blocked for some time past are, to-
day, up for immediate action.
In addition, the present session,
which has been characterized as one
of the biggest Hobbies in the history
Of the Legislature, is now entirely
free of anything of the kind. Prac-
tically every lobbyist in the city has
fled and the session, yesterday, was
unhampered by a single lobbyist on
the floor

PRIEST PLUNCES
into RIVER FOR
DROWNING MAN
Father Ryan Almost Done up
Saving Strapping Fellow, Till
Police Launch Comes Along

New York, May 3-Father Richard
E. Ryan of the City Hospital believes
in saving people. That is the reason
he went overheard after a man who
tumbled from the landing near the
Aquarium yesterday afternoon and
kept him above water until the police
Of Harbor A came alongside in their
launch and saved both rescued and
reScuer.
The man between whom and the bot
tom Of the harbOr Father Ryan came
was Peter Vecian, a woodworker who
lives at 664 Warren street, Brooklyn.
Vecian's hat blew off in the brisk wind
that swept up the bay and. danced
| along on the landing pier. Vecian,
who is over six feet tall, numbered
after it. The hat went off the pier
and Vecian caught UP with it just as
1t hit the water.
People nearby set up a shout and
ran up and down waving their arms.
The wind was cold and the water
looked uninviting to most of them.
Father Ryan was just about to pay
his first visit to the Aquarium. He
had been told there were some very
interesting things to be seen down that
way.
When he heard the shouts and made
cut that some one down there in the
water needed him Father Ryan strip
ped off his coat and hat and described
an arc from the end of the pier that
landed him within a few feet of We
clan.
For the next two or three minutes
the park echoed with shouts of en-
enlargement. Father Ryan is SO
years old and slight of build Vecian
was raising a smother of foam with
his thrashing arms, and 1t seemed to
those on the sea wall that the little
priest would be annihilated if he went
too naar
But Father Ryan was cautious. He
swan around behind Vecian and gave
him little shove upward and forward
that kept his head above water and
propelled him toward the pier. We
clan thrust out blind1y in the direction
Of the touch, but the priest was not
there. He came up behind the man
as he sank slightly and showed again,
much as sturdy little tug might
berth.
The father was becoming excited
and was swallowing more water than
was good for him, when Police Launch
No. 5. in command Of Sergt. Denohue,
came around the end Of the pier bound
for the police slip. Donohue sent the
launch toward the two men and Pa
trolmen McSweeney and Nelson made
one splash as they hit the water to-
gether
McSweeney went to Father Ryan
and had him aboard the launch in a
fifty. He was badly done up. The
big woodworker was full Of water by
this time and. although his arms were
not uite so dangerous, Nelson had a
strenuous time" getting him alongside
so that McSweeney could haul him
in.
DIR. Savage of the Volunteer Hos
pital was waiting with an ambulance
when Father Ryan and Vecian were
taken off the launch at the police pier.
vecian was hustled to the hospital.
Father Ryan took a little rest and
then went to the Mission of Our
Lady's Rosary 1T State street,
changed his clothes and went home.
He did not pay visit to the Aquar-
iufn after all.
