~ ETROIT. MICH. Jan. 29.-
President Navin hlames Ty
Cobb not only for the nu-
mcrous holdouts among the I'll
gers, but for the holdouts of the
stars which have occurred on all
other major league clubs. They are
following Tvs lead, he says.

the first indication that the Amer

Highlanders to build up the team
under Frank Chance i'm New York.

For the last three years Cobb has
received a SALARY higher than any
other player, not also a manager
ever received. No official announce
ment of what Ty drew ever has
been made, but it is generally be
lievcd to be $4,000 year. Now
he wants $4,000. and he didn't get

Navin argues, Speaker and Wood

And suppose Wagner. Hooper,

Young in this period, but the mar
Sin he earned was nowhere near
enough to get him an even break.
Nelson Easy For Minor.
Terry Nelson. with the should
ers Of a Sandow and the muscles
of a Hercules. took a hard beating
from Battling Minor in the ten
rounder that wound up the nights
program,
Minor led all the way and Nell
son didn't land one single clean
blow during the entire engagement
Terry swung with might and main
from all angles, but Minor either
picked them off as they started or
worked inside of them before they
could do any harm.
Every time Terry would rush
Minor would jam a swell right
hand to the stomach. He kept that
off-side mitt always in Terry's
stomach. but the Chattanooga boys
midsection is well protected with
husky muscles and the wallops did
little or no harm. But they were
points, nevertheless.
Minor Clever Boxer.
Minor made a good showing. He
is exceedingly clever. but he lacks
the punch necessary to ever earn
him position with top-notch light
weights. He is a willing lad, how
ever, and made all the fight
Nelson will never be a regular
fighter He is muscle bound and
while his punches look to have
lot of steam, they don't seem to

ton goes on the tossing and tum

DON'T TAKE The
WRONG MEDICINE
II Your Liver Gets Lazy You Need a
Liver Tonic, Not Merely a Laxa-
tive for the Bowels.

Many people take a simple laxative
when their liver gets sluggish rather
than take calomel, which they know
to be dangerous. But a mere laxative
will not start a sluggish liver. What
is needed is a tonic that will liven up
the liver without forcing you to stay
at home and lose a day from your
business.
You have such tonic in Dodson's
Liver Tone. Dodson's Liver Tone
must be all they claim for it because
they guarantee 1t to take the place
OF dangerous calomel and agree TO
hand back the money with smile to
any person who tries Dodson's Liver
Tone and is not satisfied with the re-
lief 1t gives.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a harmless
vegetable liquid with pleasant taste.
and is a prompt and reliable remedy
for constipation, biliOusness, sour
stomach, and the other troubles that
come from a torpid liver.
All druggists give 1t their personal
guarantee and if you will ask about
this guarantee you will protect your
self against limitations that are not
guaranteed. Large bottle of Dodson' 5

Senator Bacon Acts as Guide to
Congressional Delegation to
ROddenbery Funeral.

Had Governor John Marshall Sla-
ton been tipped off to the avalanche
of national craftsmanship to be pre-
oipitated upon the State Capitol to-
day likely as not he wouldn't have
left Atlanta for Tennessee, at least
until after he had awaited himself of
an opportunity to welcome said ava
lanche to our fair city.
AS it was, about the biggest bunch
of national celebrities seen in the Gate
City Of the South in many moons call
ed at the Capitol in the forenoon to
pay it's respects to the Chief Magis-
trate. but there was nothing doing.
The party was escorted to the Cap
itol by United States Senator Bacon,
and, besides Mr.. Bacon, was made up
of the following gentlemen:

Representatives Lee, Hughes, How

Georgia, and Representatives Nc
Laughlin, of Michigan; Hill, of Illi-
nois, and Mcguire. of Nebraska.
This distinguished party was very
much disappointed at not finding the
Governor in. Failing to find the Gov
ernor, however. the party was escort
ed to the various departments by
Senator Bacon, after which all those
composing 1t were carried to the dome
and shown the city from that point Of
vantage.

Atlanta friends. The other members
of the party spent the morning at the

BECKER IN DEATH
CELL TRIES To
AID SULzER
Condemned Slayer Said to Have
Prepared Evidence booming
Political Existence of Many.

ALBANY. N. Y, Sept. 2s.-Sing
Sings CHASTITY death house to-day
contributed an amazing chapter to
the story of the impeachment of Gov
ernor William Sulzer. in which it ap-
pears that Lieutenant Charles Beck
er has prepared evidence striking at
the political life if not at the personal
freedom of a dozen men high in the
official life of the State. This story,
alleged to be backel by such proof
as a shrewd and resourceful detective
might produce, has been offered by
Becker in return for his life.
This is the story:
At the beginning Of the fight upon
the Governor, emissaries were sent
to Becker at Sing Sing for the pur-
pose of getting from him any facts
he might have concerning the connec-
ton between politics and crime in the
city of New York. But Becker de-
manded that before one line of his
evidence went to expectant channels,
a pardon should be signed which
would leave him absolutely free from
any VI grow
out of the murder of Herman Rosen-
thai in front of the Hotel Metropole
on July 16, 1912.
In the meantime the power of Gov
ernor Sulzer to pardon anybody had
vanished. Those men who were
named in the Becker Confession"
were apprised of the fact. They set
to work all of the wheels under their
command to prevent the production
of the statement.
But its general character is known
to too many men to permit the fact of
its existence to escape the public.
Becker has been assured, so far as
anyone knows, without any au-
thority from any person in Albany
who is or may be in a position to
make good the assurance, that he viii
be kindly treated in the event that
Governor Sulzer is impeached and his
story remains among the things I'M
told.
The High Court of Impeachment
to-day swung into a week that prom
ises to see the close of the testimony
for the prosecution. Attorneys for
the board of managers said at the be-
ginning of the, day that they did not
think 1t possible that their case would
consume more than this week. At the
outset of the day they were in doubt
as to what witnesses they would call
when the court resumed its session at
o'clock.
