TOO MUCH BOTTLE,
M'GRAW VERDICT
Doesn't Remember Anything
About Slavin Injury.

NEW YORK. Aug. t4-Manager John
J. McGraw OF the Giants told Assistant
District Attorney Unger today he had
no idea how John &. Slavin, actor. came
to be found lying on. the sidewalk with
fractured skull Just after a taxi ride
with McGraw aud another man early
last Sunday
McGraw said his mind was a blank
al far as that episode was concerned
Unger and Or. Frank Mcclure of the
Tombs prison called at McGraws apart
ment to question the baseball man about
the fight at the Lambs club in which he
was severely beaten and TO ask him how
Slavin was injured
No newspaper men were present, but
after leaving the apartment Unger said
McGraw told him he could remember
nothing from the time he was hit over
the head at the Lambs club until he
woke up In bed the next day at noon.
McGraw said he understood he was hit
with water carafe.
He admitted Unger stated, that be had
been drinking.
Unger said be suggested to McGraw
that the combination OF being hit with a
bottle and hitting the bottle was too
much for him, and McGraw, according
to Unger, agreed that it was.
DR.. MCGUIRE examined McGraw and
said he found a liberation on the head
which was healing and a black eye, now
rather faded and getting back to normal.
Pulse and temperature were normal,
he said.
1t was considered unlikely this after
noon that any prosecution would result
from the affair, al there is nobody to
make a complaint.

SIXTH DISTRICT
G. o. p. UP IN AIR
Fate of Fourth Looks Good to
Democrats.

RICHMOND. Ind. Aug. 14-Repub-
lican leaders Of the Sixth district are
disturbed considerably over the proposal
to abolish the Fourth congressional dis
trict and have les eleven counties abb
sorbed by the Third aud Sixth.
The proposition hobs up on the po-
litical horizon. because Of the fact that
the next congressional apportionment
based on the new census Of the United
States will reduce Indlana's representa-
ton In congress from thirteen to twelve.

stronghold, despite It's representation In

expressing in phobia an Unreason-

Il attribute this phenomenon Of the
mental convolutions as directly trace

"At first this phobia did not exist.
Then a number drank freely. some of
them wood alcohol, and others
quantities of fusel OIL Some died
and others fingered in hospitals. The
quality of the liquor being sold was
not inquired into at first.
Now I find that many persons will
not accept a drink without a signed
and sworn affidavit Of the antece-
