(sy Associated Press.)

Chicago, Sept. 2i-H. II. Brigham,
foreman of the Cook county grand jury
investigating alleged baseball gambling
tonight told newspaper men that the
name Of the man who fixed" the 1919
worlds series fer Cincinnati to win
had been given to the grand jury. This
man. Brigham stated, acted as a repre-
sentative of a ring Of gamblers who Of
fered Chicago White SoX players money
to throw games to the Cincinnati Reds.
Brigham declared that the testimony
thus far given had caused the grand
jury to decide to subpoena Arnold
Rothstein. Of New York. millionaire
turfnlan and controlling owner of the
Havre de Grace race track; William
Burns, former Chicago American and
Cincinnati National league pitcher
Abe Attell, former featherweight box
ing champion, and several other we'll
known sporting men.
The ramifications of the alleged
gambling were so widespread that it
would be impossible to complete a
thorough investigation during the reg
ular session, Henry H. Brigham, fore
man, said
The jury has received evidence which
indicates an attempt by nationwide
ring of gamblers to "pOllute baseball
and ruin the great national game in the
same way boxing was killed and horse
racing crucified," Mr.. Brigham said in
a statement summarizing the work of
the jury thus far. Comparatively few
players are implicated, however, said
Mr.. Brigham, only a "few weak-mor-
aled and weak -charaCtered men being
proved upon by the professional gam
blers."
simultaneously with Mr.. Brigham's
statement came one from President
Charles \. Comiskey. of the Chicago
American league club. saying he had
not had the full support of President
B. B. Johnson of the American league
in his attempts TO run down charges Of
crooked work by some players on his
team. After seeing this statement
President Hermann, of the Cincinnati
club. ChicagOs opponents in the
worlds series, said he knew positively
President Johnson made an eager in
Vestigation.
President Johnson. when he testified
before the grand jury Wednesday, told
reporters he had given the jury evi-
dence which he believed proved that
star players had attempted to throw
games last year, but had no evidence
Of such actions this year"
District Attorney Clyne took a hand
in the inquiry today by starting an in
vestigation to find out whether base
ball pool tickets were being sent
through the mails in violation of the
lottery laws.

President VIII Not Carry
Out Terms OF Shipping Act
Says Congress Exceeded Its
Power in Giving Directions
to AbrOgate Treaties.
WOULD VIOLATE RESPECT
Secretary Colby Calls Attention
to Similar Refusal on Part :.
of President HAYES. =
(6y Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept 24-President
Wilson has declined to take steps to-
ward termination of certain CONNER
cial treaties as directed by congress in
the merchant marine act, holding that
"such a course would be wholly ire
constable with the historical respect
which the United States has shown for
its international engagements.
Formal announcement of the presi-
dents decision and the reasons i'm
pelling it was made today at the state
department. The merchant marine act
as approved by the president on the
closing day of the last session of con-
gress directed the executive within 90
days to give notice to foreign nations
of the intentions of the United States
to terminate any sections of existing
commercial treaties which restrict the
right of the American government to
impose discriminatory charges on
shipping in foreign bottoms.
The president in declining to COM
ply with the directions of the act, the
state departments announcement said,
also held that congress exceeded its
authority in giving such directions
Secretary Colby is quoted in the an
90 ShPHOl biilS bllC pIbSi~
dent on this point. citing as a prece-
dent the action OF President Hayes in
1879 in refusing the demand of con-
gress that a treaty with China be
abrogated. The power of modifying
treaties President Hayes held, is moi
lodged by the constitution in con-
gress.
Termination of the 80 treaties affect
ed by the act the president was said
to have held, would amount to moth
ing less than the breach or violation Of
said treaties which cover every point
Of contact and mutual dependence
which constitute the modern relations
between friendly states"
In explaining the presidents sigma
ture Of the act and his subsequent de.
cision to refuse to comply. with its
directions as regards termination OF
the treaties, the announcement said
that ito have vetoed the act would
have sacrificed the great number Of
sound and enlightened provisions, which
it undoubtedly contains"

Cox Asserts Hays Tried
Silence Western Papers
Democratic Nominee Declares
West Will Go Solidly for
League of Nations.
(sy Associated Press.)

Denver, Sept 24.-Attacks upon
Chairman Hays of the Republican ma
tional committee and Republican news
papers, charging them with a con
spiracy of silence" against the Demo-
cratic cause, featured today's Colorado
campaign of Governor James Cox Of
Ohio.
The new line of assault Of the cam
didate who charged that Mr.. Hays,
acting for the Republican national COM
mittee, and Republican newspaper edi-
tors were conspiring to suppress news
was made by the governor in three
Colorado speeches today at Trinidad,
Pueblo and at a large meeting here to-
night at the auditorium.
Poisoning" was the term applied by
Governor Cox in his charges regarding
the Republican newspapers and he
likened Chairman Hays to the sneak
ing guerilla who in days of old pois-
oned wells for the destruction of enc
mics"
Mr.. Hays. the candidate declared.
sent an advance agent to confer with
Colorado editors, as we'll as to New
Mexico to plan the alleged undermining
of the Democratic campaign.>
..The Republican national committee
is maintaining a large organization for
this purpose. If the men travelling all
over the country and the funds of tile
Republican organization are being
used to make this kind of a campaign
at a time when humanity is to pass
on the great question involving more
interests and more Dp0nla fbon af onI-
time in the history of the world"
THE rich men of America who are
living in comfort" the governor con-
tinued, reiterating charges of big
business contributions to the Repub-
licaps, certainly ought to be proud
of the fact that they have made it
possible for Hays to conduct this kind
of a campaign. The reason is that it
is apparent to any unprecedented per-
son that the west is Overwhelmingly
for the league of nations and that the
majority of the west will so record
themselves.
The league of nations issue, which
the governor said the Republicans were
trying to side track in the newspa-
pers, prOgressivism, labor and recla-
nation were otter major topics of the
candidates Colorado addresses. He
also flayed big business" for alleged
aid to the Republican cause and the
use, he charged, of its "cOrruption
fun" to the newspaper effort he i'm
puted to Chairman Hays. Attacks up
on the senatorial oligarchy' and Sen
ator Harding as its reactionry candi-
date, also We're repeated.
