BOSTON MAY RELIEVE N. Y.
OF JAM OF IMMIGRANTS

BOSTON, Sept. 2S.-Boston soon will
take the place OF New York as dis
embarking point for passengers
brought from Europe by a number
OF big lines. in the belief of Com
missioner of immigration Henry j.
Skeffington.
He announced yesterday that agents
of several steamship companies had
conferred with him and were so i'm
pressed with the local possibilities
for handling passengers in Boston,
that he expected a number of liners
would be diverted to this port by
wireless.
Passengers would be disembsrked
at Commonwealth pier, he said, the
steamships then continuing to New
York, where freight would be unload
ed and passengers for the eastern
trip taken aboard.
New York at the present time Is
handicapped by the fact that Ellis
Island is swamped by immigrants

CHICAGO, Sept. 28.-Indictments
against eight members of the Chi
cago White Sox for alleged crooked
ness in the 1919 world series were
voted this afternoon by the Cook
county grand jury, which has been
probing conditions in orgaized base
ball. The men indicted are:
Chick Gandil, former first base
man; Fred McMullin, utility infield-
er; Happy Felsch, center fielder,
"Swede" Risberg, shortstop; Eddie
Cicotte, pitcher; Claude Williams,
pitcher; Joe Jackson, left field, and
Buck Weaver, third baseman.
The true bills charge conspiracy
to commit an illegal act.
MAHARG MAY TESTIFY.
One of the witnesses likely to be
subpoenaed today is William Maharg,
former prizefghter. whose reported
confession at Philadelphia that he
and Bill Burns. former White Sox
pitcher, were involved in the fixing"
of the 1919 world series constitutes
the latest sensation of the probe. Mrs.
Henrietta B. Kelly, owner of an apart
Sox players lived: kid" Gleason,
manager OF the white sox. and Ray
Schalk, star catcher, are witnesses
likely to be called on to testify today.
Maharg's confession that the White
Sox were bribed to throw the series
for 500, 900 but that they received
only $10,0 900 and his charge that Eddie
Cicotte. the pitcher. was the Sox player
who made the offer to throw" the
series has aroused a storm of interest.
According to Maharg's story he met
Bill Burns, an old friend, in New
York, and Cicotte approached Burns
in a room in the Ansonia Hotel with
an offer to throw" the series IL
Burns could find some one to put up
100000. Burns talked 1t over with
Maharg and then went to Arnold
Rothstein, New York gambler, with
the proposition.

scheme down but later Burns tele-

and Phillie southpaw, were the
pioneers in the conspiracy that re-
suited in eight members of the Chi
cago American League team throw
ing" games to Cincinnati in last years
world series.
Evidence came to the North Ameri-
can recently that Maharg was in
yolved and a North American man
visited him yesterday. Maharg at
first denied any knowledge of Fixed"
games, but finally admitted that he
and Burns were the first men ap-
preached by White Sox players.

writer might we'll name The Great
Double Cross" 1t is a recital of the

WHAT HE REVEALS.
The major points to Maharg's reve-
lstions charge:
THAT the nrst, second, and fnal
games OF last years series were
thrown by eight members OF the
White Sox to Cincinnati.
2-That the offer to "nx" the series
was volunteered by Pitcher Cicotte,
of the SoK. to Bill Burns and Maharg
In n hotel in New York.
3-That the White Sox were prom
ised 100000 to lose the games, but
actually received only $4,000.
4-That Abe Attell, the former
featherweight champion. presented a
fake telegram. won a fortune for him
self and a clique OF New York gam
blers, but did not keep his word with
the white Sox players In on tho deal
or with Burns and MaharR.

DIARIES GIVEN
1-CENT BOOST
Producers Also Will Benefit,
Under Recommendations, Of
Federation's Committee.

Seventeen cents quart for win
ter milk is the price recommended
by special committee Of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations, APP
pointed recently to investigate the
milk situation in Washington.
Eighteen, 19 and 20-cent milk was
contemplated by producers.
In a unanimous report, the COM
mittee also recommended that the
wholesale cost of milk to the local
dairyman should not exceed az cents
a gallon. The committee declared
that both the producer and dairymen
should unite in the effort to prevent
any further milk price increase.
PRODUCERS ARE WARNED.
The committee in suggesting the
milk price intimates that the pro-
ducers will find a fight on their hands
should they ignore the l7-cent recon-
mendation. The committee points out
that milk is available from the North
ern States. In event the producers
in Maryland and Virginia insist on
raising the milk price higher than
suggested. a united effort probably
will besmade to buy milk elsewhere.
Tho committee believes, that the
peak OF high prices has been passed
and that the trend and tendency is
toward a lowering OF the prices OF
