with Manager Harry Wolverton. both Of
which failed to smooth out the difficulties
between the player and his employers.
Wolverton took a very firm stand with
his refractory athlete. He refused to ar
bitrate. He refused to compromise He
assumed the attitude that Sweeney needed
the club much worse than 1t needed him.
He refused to consider for one moment
Sweeney's demand for $4,000. II Sweeney

play for what the club has offered him.
It is understood that the New York man
agement was willing to pay him more
than any other catcher in the circuit
draws. Just now there seems only one
way around the difficulty. the matter Of a
trade Tor some desirable athlete.

,ecial Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. April 3. 1912.
The spring term of the circuit court for
Prince Georges county convened here
Monday, with Judges Fillmore Beall and
b. Harris Camalier on the bench. In his
charge to the grand jury Judge Beall call
ed attention to the case of pool-selling
and bookmaking on the fair grounds near
Upper Marlboro last fall, and stated that
If the jury found that the gaming law
had been violated it was its duty to make
presentment. During the race meeting
last fall Frank Levine, one of the book
makers, IT is said. was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff A. B. Suit, now sheriff of the
county, and was released on bail. The
case is No. 10 of the recognizances.
In July of last year application was
made to the court here for license to
conduct the race meeting. The court,
Judges Beall and Camalier, held that the
issuing of the license was a non-judic!a al
one and declined to grant the permit. De-
spite this the race people proceeded with
the meeting and the arrest of Levine fol-
lowed. Should the case be taken to the
court of appeals 1T will probably have
much to do with the fixing of the status
of horse racing in the state.
The court also called attention to a
report which had been circulated anent
the Establishment of q poolroom in the
upper end of the county, and stated that
it was the duty of the grand jury to in

WHO IS CLOSER TO The

In the approaching COMPRESSION
al election, for whom should the
laborers, mechanics, farmers and
other men Of small means in this
District cast their vote, for Mr..
Lewis, or for DR.. Lazaro?
This question is all important.
We are at the opening, possibly
in the midst, of a great upheaVal
and struggle between capital and
labor; between the great corpo-
rations which control the cost of
living, the wages or labor and
the price Of raw farm products
on the one side, --and on the other
the numerous but disorganized
army of producers and workers
who are struggling to exist IN
the face of an inordinate increase
in the cost of the necessities Of
live, without d corresponding in
crease in the wages paid for
work and the prices paid for the
raw products of the soil.
This struggle is centered in our
National Congress.
Congressman friendly to the
common people are endeavoring
to reopen competition in busi-
ness, to oreduce the cost of living.
to lessen the working hours Of
laborers, and to give the work
men a wage better suited to their
earning capacities and the far
mer a price better suited TO the
value of his product. Congress
men aligned with the corporations
are bitterly fighting this move
ment, sometimes openly. often
through secret l0DDles- Ine
great corporations have devoted
immense sums Of money and
used weighty influence to
strengthen the ranks Of those
favoring them in Congress.
Each of these twO Darfies IS
vitally interested in the question
before US.
To which set viii Messrs. Lewis
and Lazaro respectively align
themselves If elected to Congress
from this District?
Both have spoken, and both
have made fair promises, for
