 The sheriff yesterday received a let ter from the American Surety com pany of New York through their Los Angeles office giving notice that John the contract at Yuma for the circus company, was not authorized to sign for them and therefore they disaf- firmed the s400O bond.

'Debs Pardon
By President
Is Unlikely
Leniency for Espionage
Act Violator is Held
Contrary to Wilson 5
Policy

washington. Nov. 6.--President
Wilson is understood to have no in
tention of pardoning Eugene V.
Debs, who. is serving ten wear
sentence in the federal. penitentiarv
at Atlanta for violation of the es-
pionage, act.-
The position taken by the presi-
dent, according to those who pro-
Tess to know his views is that ex-
ecutive clemency in such a case
would set bad precedent and
would encourage others to oppose
the government in the event of an
other war.
Debs was convicted at Cleveland.
september 21, 1918, on three
counts, jury finding him guilty
of attempting to incite insubordi-
nation and disloyalty in the mill
.tary and naval forces attempting to
obstruct recruiting and uttering
language tending to incite, provoke
and encourage resistance to the
United States and to promote the
cause of the enemy.
pardon for Debs and others
convicted of violating the espion-
age act has been urged by num-
Der of organizations, including the
American Federation of Labor,
which, at it's last annual convention
at Montreal, Canada. authorized a
committee to confer with Attorney
General Palmer on the matter.

Enforcement of
Law Is Pledge
of V.W.Moffitt

That the majority of 1448 votes
returned for him by Salem was a
complete surprise, was attested to
Friday by Verden M. Moffitt, sue
cessful candidate for city marshal
of Salem.
During the campaign, many
persons approached me and ask
ed me to pledge myself in various
ways. At the present time l feel
that I occupy the unique position
of having made no promises other
than that of courtesy and square
dealing, Officer Moffitt stated
Friday.
"a post-eiection statement is
unusual, but I wish at this time
to thank those who have aided me
ard to pledge myself to an en-
forcement of the law.
81 feel that the majority return
ed was a general assertion by the
citizens of Salem that they want
absolute enforcement of these
statutes. Most important of all,
there is the conviction that Sa-
lem's citizenry will stand by the
officer who does his duty. With
out this moral support any Off
Ger is powerless.
"It might be added that sensa-
tionalism and reckless 'crusading'
are never consistent with enforce
ment of law" is Officer Moffitt's
concluding statement.
The newly elected city marshal
will take office at the first of the
year. .g-

Considering the magnitude of

players who Immediately reported
to their managers the suggestions

in attempts to corrupt the game.
The adoption of this policy as a
fixed practice, no matter at what
cost, will make impossible repe-
tition of the present trouble.
Evidence was given the jury of
an instance during game played
in Chicago where a certain player
on the New York National league
baseball club offered another play
er a bribe if he would throw that
particular game. The player to
whom the bribe was offered inn
mediately walked off the diamond
refusing to continue pitching the
game.
Honesty Commended.
1--WE earnestly commend the ac-
tion of this player and we likewise
commend the manager of the New
York club for his action on the
following day in suspending the
player who offered the brbe. In
this particular case and notwith-
standing the reprehensible conduct

to baseball as his profession and he
must therefore conduct himself in
a manner that will make his oceu-
patton one of integrity and high
standing. II the game is conducted
on basis that inspires public con-
fidence. young men and boys will
be encouraged to play the sume
more and more, thereby developing
lin the youth Of the country sound
bodies and sound minds and what
is more, sound morals and better
citizens.
Clean Game Necessary.
THE jury is impressed with the
act that baseball is an index to our
national genius and character. The
American principle Of merit and
fair play must prevail and 1t is all
important that the game be clean
from the most humble player tU
the highest dignitary; that the
business methods and the players
be equally clean and sportsman
like. Baseball enthusiasm and itH
hold upon the public interest must
ultimately stand or fall upon this
count.
Baseball is more than nsl-
tional game; it is an American tn
stituion, having it's place pronai-
nently and significantly in the life
of the people. In the deplorable
absence of military training in this
country, baseball and other games
having team play spirit offer the
American youth an agency for de-
velopment that would be entirely
lacking were 1t relegated to the po-
sition to which horse racing and
boxing have fallen. The national
game promotes respect for proper
authority, self condolences. fair
mindedness, quick Judgment ana
self control.
1.-THE jury thinks 1t advisable to
emphasize in this report the re-
morse and self contempt felt by the
players appearing before the gr1nd
jury who had accepted bribes-
Their testinionyin this connection
was entirely voluntarily on their
part and showed how cheap arid
petty each player felt and how
their loss Of self respect was in mo
wise compensated by the sums that
were accepted.
