Providence, r. l.. Jan. 1.-THE an
nouncement made from Washington
that the Department of Justice had
decided to investigate reports of
bribery and corruption alleged to have
been practiced in Rhode Island in the
last November election came as a
complete shock and surprise to the
leaders of the Republican and Dem
eefst4e parties and there is consider
able speculation as to the identity OF
the individual who has succeeded in
Interesting the Acknowledgement went
over with a thump to the Republi-
cans, which in fact, in addition to the
disquietude of the Wagework erg di-
minishing employment. was attributed
TO the free use of money.
While Rhode Island has secret
ballot system, this has never sue
ceeded in thwarting vote msnipula-
tors who are declared to have been
very active in the November election.
Generally there was free distribution

P|TTSbURG LEADER
b[AMES SLUMP ON
FEDERAL LEAGUE

Pittsburg, Jan. 17.--Evidence to
prove the tremendous damage infiict-
ed on organized baseball by the ad-
vent and player gra bling methods OF
the Federal League will not be lacking
In the antitrust suit to be heard at
Chicago, January 90. before Federal
Judge X. NJ. lands. If the words OF
Barney Dreyfuss, president of the
Pittsburg Pirates, can be taken as an
indication of what is to come.
On his return from Chicago today
President Dreyfuss gave out state
ment In which he said: II had a long
conference In Chicago with Fred
Clarke. Naturally our talk was con-
cerned mostly with the Federal
League suit.
Manager Clarke has made an afr
davit which will be presented to the
court. stating that the disastrous
slump OF the Pirates team In last
years pennant race and the wrecking
of its pennant chances was due to the
activity OF the Federal League agents
In making offers to his players and
bothering them until they were unable
to play up to their true form.
Clarke also charged that this state
of affairs, which was due to the tam
pering of the Federal League, caused
the receipts of the PNtsburg club to
fall off to the enormous extent OF
5000, 600"
According TO President Dreyfuss the
affidaYits OF several Pirate players in
which Federal League agents are ac-
cused of trying to wean them away
from organized baseball will be placed
in evidence before the court.
The affidavit Of Manager Clarke
bears out several statements made by
President Dreyfuss during the play
ing season OF 1914, in which he said
that. instead of playing the ball as 1t
should be played. and as they were
capable OF playing II. several of the
players on the team were listening TO
the call OF the Feds and their gold"
President Dreyfuss will return to
Chicago next Tuesday to listen to the
trial OF the case. He says he and
his colleagues do not fear that an In
junction will be granted. He says 1t
would be against all precedent in such
cases to grant an injunction, and he
rs corfttte1t that no action will tn
taken by the court until he is ready
TO render a final decision.

Cape effects make an important feature
Of winter fashions and this set gives the
newest and best lines. The cape ripples
just a little at the lower edge and is ex-
ceedinsly warm and comfortable as well
as very attractive. The muff is in the
round shape that is the preferred one of
the season. Here the cape and muff are
made from one OF the fur cloths which
are exceedingly beautiful and which are
much liked for such purpose but It can be
utilized for fur skins or for such material
as velvet or plush with fur trimming. The
cape is a quite simple one, circular In
shape with the collar joined to the upper
edge and, the muf being perfectly plain
and round, there ia no special skill required
for either garment. The lining preferably
would be made Of some soft silk and this
season lowered effects are much liked. In
addition to serving for new material.
the set is a good one for cutting over
larger fur garments into smaller.
For the 10 year size, the cape and nuf
will require I Il yds. of material 80 "a or
so in. wide. with / II yds. IS in. wide for
lining.
The pattern s43I is cut in sizes for girls
from s to II years OF age. II will be
mailed to any address by the Fashion De-
partment Of this paper, On receipt OF ten
cents.

ond one and not wait for his next turn
in the regular order of competition
This change If made will go in effect
at the indoor meeting in Madison
Square Garden on March 6. In the
high jump and pole vault the numb
of trials will remain three, but a
competitor will have the privilege In
case he fails at certain height OF
taking his two extra trials at once
instead of waiting until his turn comes
again.
Want Standardization.
The changes in the laws of athletics
were all made with the idea of
standardization. A twelve-inch border
Is provided for and recall by the
starter. In case of foul the l. c. A.
A. A. rules only provided for the dis
qualification of the offender. The new
proyiso will allow for man suffering
interference in the trial to start in
the next round or else the running
jump will be slightly raised and
sprinkled with sand so that the OF
ficials will have visible evidence OF a
foul. In the shot and hammer con-
tests the competitor will have to stay
In the circle until his throw is meas
ured instead of walking ont the back
half Of the ring Specifications for
implement are drawn up with prac-
tically the same wording as the inter
national rules which provide for the
O. X. OF proper official.
The ready racing rules also will be
changed so that the touch off may
be made ten metres either side OF the
line. These, however will not go In
effect at fne meeting in the Garden
as it would he considered unfair to
have them adopted in the afternoon
and put In force the same night.
1t was decided to give special
prizes at the indoor meet and the
idea Of having no title at stake Is
followed out by having all the prizes
OF the same nature and value, wheth-
err they are first. second or third.
They Will be fiye-inch bronze
statuettes of Borghes, the insignia on
the regular medal OF the association.
II was arranged to have the prelim-
mary heats of the SO. 900 and 500
yard relays run off first.

FRESHMEN INELIGIBLE
FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
No Amendment offered Yesterday Allow First Year Men
Compete in Intercollegiate Meets May Shortly
Bar Them From Competition Altogether

New York, Jan. 17.-Many i'm
portant changes to the constitution,
bylaws and laws of athletics were
considered today at q joint meeting
o. the executive anu advisory COM
rnittees of the intercollegiate Assoc

suit amendments will be submitted to
the ANIMAL convention of the associa-
ton ON March G, which. If adopted,
will go far toward standardizing the
of the changes are made to conform
with the rules Of the International
Amateur Athletic constitution, which
became operative on January /. last.
wrong impression has prevailed
that an amendment would be intro
duCed TO allow freshmen to compete
in the intercollegiate championship.
This will not be done for the obvious
reason that under the rules as they
stand today freshmen are eligible for
competition. All legislation which has
kept the first year men out of the
meets has been on the part of the
colleges themselves The subject was
not brought up today but 1t was said
that instead Of doing anything to
make freshmen eligible II was thought
likely that as in the past some men,
Der of the association would propose
an amendment to bar them from the
meet.

place for airmen holding certificates as
experts, the necessary permission
having been granted by Mator-General
Leonard Wood, commanding the De-

Iaviators have been granted the expert
certificates, and of this number
twenty-one are army f,iers.
The new landing thus adds another
link to the chain of alighting places
established along the coasts Of the
United States. The other links were
recently added. one being al Jekyl
