had a family OF several children. He
was the guest OF his sister and his
nephew, a lad OF nine or ten years
wanted to attend the lecture To this
his uncle said.

interest you. Harold You would be

New York, July 1S.-The police
graft situation was brought to the
front again today when Charles b

for former Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker, submitted to District Attor-
ney Whitman a five-page typewriter
statement reputed to be a confession
of facts relating to the al lance be-
tween the police system" and the
underworld
Mr.. Whitman assigned one of his
assistants to talk with Pitt who is
under indictment on perjury
charge, with a view to determining
if Pitts statement is worthy a
grand jury investigation
Pitts 'squear' is reported to con-
tain the information long sought by
the Prosecutor. An Inspector, a
civilian attache at police headquar-
ters and several minor officia are
said TO be mentioned in Pitts state
ment.
The statement is declared to tell
also oil alleged participation in graft
by Becker. who is now under sen.

murder of the gambler, Herman
Rosenthal, a year ago yesterday
In his statement Pitt swears that
he saw Lieutenant Charles Becker
pay pro rata share Of gamb inc
graft collections to a civilian official
at headquarters and an Inspector.
One payment Of $500 was made to
the Inspector then assigned to head
quarters was witnessed by friend
Of Pitt This witness was brought
Immediately before Whitman after
Pitt had made his confession and
verified Pitts allegation regarding
that particular transaction.
Portions OF the confession were
corroborated by Pitts brother Ed
and Max Margolis, who testified for
Becker admitting that he had acted
as Becker's stoo pigeon at times.

Ro,Udyisn and Umpire

Capt Norris siaytou has surrender
ed. Not to the enemies of his countr,
On the field of battle, but to the enc
riic. Of ,loan baseball After having
been rouudly abused by Barney JOY
according TO Ben IIolIinger in his in
Ncftigatuns of last Sundays disgrfcc
iul scenes at Moiliili Field, the captain
has taken up the burdens of umpire at
the ball park and furthermore, 20 Sam
thillingworth says, he is willing that
Barney joy take part in next Sunday 3
game between stanford and st. Louis
Alumni.
At recent meeting on the st. Louis
Alumni, liUllinger was instructed to
Investigate the circumstances of the
game aud If possible to get all the
iacts concerning the row.
After making his investigations llol.
linger is alleged TO have given out the
following interview:
"To begin with have talked with
the members of the St Louis Alumni
team and have found that none of them
had wagered ON last Sunday Is game. /
have found that there was no offensive
language used until Stayton call Joy
back after sending him to the bench.
when Joy told Stayton he was crook
and Il bum and that he would not take
part in the game if he umpircd This
language cannot be excused. but il was
used after Barney had been sent to the
bench and 1T was not the cause of His
being ousted from the camel
Despite the Investigations of Holm
ger, there are persons who maintain
that there was betting on the game by
members Of the ball team and often.
sive language was used before Barney
was told that he could play again
Further along llollinger SAYS that he
does not doubt StaytOn s squareness,
bnt he did think that the umpire acted
too hastily in chasing Joy from the
game, contending that there were no
ground rules at Moiiili Field because
the field is of regulation size.
Whether or not a field is regulation
size has nothing to do with the making
of ground rules. That is n matter LETT
entirely with the captains of the two
teams and the umpircs.
Hollinger goes further and says that
Joy is a regular member of the st.
Louis team and whether the manage

3 live mp TO their contract and allow him
TO play. Otherwise regardless Of the
TACT that Barney acted the part OF
the rowdy be should be allowed T.
again take part in baseball at Mo I'LL
Field.
Akana Refused to Play.
White It is eluimel that Akana did
not refuse to recognize the umpire =
ruling, such is fact. When Captain
stayton told the men that he would
umpire again if his ruling declaring
the game forfeited was recognize /,
Akana answered that he would not
play and two other members OF the
team likewise voiced themselves.
As. to the betting by ball players,
the writer heard one OF them say that
he was a loser in the sum of thirty
dollars by the decision of Stlyton de
claring the game forfeited and another
man who was not in uniform but who
has caught at times for st. Louis made
the same statement
AS to the question of ground rules at
Moiliili Field, st. Louis players say
there were no ground rules and Captain
Stayton says there were, and that he
was acting under that impression.
Whether StaytOn was right or wrong
he should have upheld his first ruling
to remain away from the duties of UNI
pire if rowdyism was to be counter.
anced No matter which way Stayton
may look at it, he has not shown the
right spirit in giving in to rowdysm.
When he ruled Joy from the field he
showed backbone and showed the right
spirit when he refused to take part in
further games in which Joy took part
He would show backbone and gumption
If he would continue to stand by his
first ruling.
Baseball in Honolulu can well get
along without the rowdy and it was
thought that Captain StaytOn was the
man to help purge the game of unnec,
essary delays and arguments.
According to Sam Chilingworth, st.
Louis and Stanford will line up at
Moiliil Field next Sunday afternoon
with practically the same lineup as be.
fore and with the same umpires.
Let us hope that the ears of our fair
women fans, especially, will not ring
with such language as was spoken last
Sunday, and those who do take in the
game will not be forced to witness
another such scene as was foisted on
the public at that time.
