ishment from organized baseball of
Carl Mays, of the New York Ameri-
cans, whose pitched ball fractured the
skull of Ray Chapman. Probability
that members of both teams would
refuse to play in any game in which
Mays was the pitcher was expressed
by some players.
Mays has been a storm center of
base ball controversy for years, first,
because of his close pitching, as a
result of which players frequently
complained that he had tried to
"dust" them off," and later when the
deal between the Boston and New
York clubs, by which he was trans
ferred after he had deserted the Red
Sox, precipitated a fractional fight
between club owners and President
Johnson.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
BALL PLAYER KILLED

New York, Aug. 17.-Raymonc
Chapman, shortstop on the Cleve.
American baseball team, who was hi
on the head by a ball thrown by
Pitcher Carl Mays in Mondays game
with the New York Americans, died
in the st. Lawrence hospital early
Tuesday. He never regained con
sciousness after an operation which
was hurriedly decided on shortly af-
ter midnight, when a portion of his
fractured skull was removed.
Shortly before it was decided to
operate, Iris Speaker telephoned
news Of the accident to Chapman's
wife in Cleveland, who Immediately
started for New York.
Game Postponed
News of the death cast gloom over
the members Of both teams and the
game between Cleveland and the
New York Americans has been post
poned. Carl Mays was overcome with
grief when the news was told him.
The accident occurred at the out
set of the fifth inning. Chapman
was the first batter and was hit by
the first ball pitched. SO terrific
was the blow that the report Of the
impact caused spectators to think
the ball had struck his bat. Mays,
under this impression, felded
the ball that rebounded half way to
pitchers box and threw it to
irst base in order to retire Chapman.
Then it was noticed that Chapman
collapsed at the home plate. He
vas lifted to his feet by other play
RS, then he stood dazed for a mo-
nent, staggered and crumpled up at
heir feet. Physicians were immed-
called from the g~randstand
nd they administered first aid, still
lot knowing that he had suffered a
ractured skull. Two players, with
'hapman's arms about their should
RS, started to walk him off the field.

certifying of the action of the secre-
tory OF the state who would issue a
proclamation declaring the amend
ment ratified.
The Tennessee senate ratified the
amendment last Friday by a vote of
25 to 4.
37th State is Sought
Suffrage leaders declare they will
not slacken their efforts as they de-
sire to have at least one other state
ratify before the November cleo
tons as they expect a fight to be
made against Tennessee's action be-
cause of the clause in the state con-
stltution which prohibits any assem-
bly, from acting on an amendment
not submitted before the members
were elected. Both United States So
hcitor-G General Frierson and the at
general of Tennessee have
declared this clause to be unconsti-
.tutional in the light of the recent de-
clsion Of the supreme court in the
Ohio referendum case.
Gives Vote to Women
Ratification by the Tennessee leg
stature was the elimination of an
extensive drive made by the suffrage
proponents to have the amendment
effective in time for the women
Il the country to vote in the presi-
lential election in November. The
rive was started when West Vir-
mia became the 34th state to ratify
arly this year. Washington was

LAWYERS ARE VICIOUS

gums remark was the presenta-
tion of an application for stay of
commitment by an attorney of a
bootIegger who recently pleaded
guil1' to having liquor OH an In
dian reservation. The judge
granted the say, and in doing so,
made the statement which dis
closes his disapproval of the re-
cent reprieve of the notorious
Sidebotham.
But when it is recalled that
Governor Stewart was a heavy
stakeholder in the concern whose
fraudulent transactions were ex-
posed by former Federal Attor-
ney b. K. Wheeler when he prose-
cuted the Northwest Trustee
company, among the directors of
which, former Secretary of State
A. NJ. Anderson, former State
Treasurer William Ray, Mayor
Speer of Great Falls and the re-
Gently reprieved Sidebotham-
then the governments leniency is
better understood and should
meet the hearty approval of all
who feel that pals" should stand
by each other. A gentleman who
was present in the courtroom yes
terday when Judge Bourquin re-
ferred to the reprieve of Side
botham, stated this morning that
the action of Stewart and the
other distinguished beneliciaries
of the Northwest Trustee CONT
pany's fraud, in procuring the re-
prieve of Sidebotham, was exact
ly what he had expected to see.
''The thieving gang were all in
t0gether-Alders0n, Ray, Wilm0t,
Speer, Sidebotham and Stewart
they were all profiting by the
frauds of the Northwest Trustee
company. When h. X. Wheeler
prosecuted the company for
fraudulent use of the mails, AL
derson and Ray were acquitted.
Only Sidebotham, of the bunch,
was convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary. 1t was a hard
fight, but Wheeler won that much.
And it was only after an appeal
to the circuit court had failed that
thu man commenced the sentence.
"And now Governor Stewart
and the other satellites of the
system manage to procure the
release Of Sidebotham and let him
loose to prey upon society again.
Well, of course, Stewart would do
just that. 1t was no surprise to
me when heard of it. But there
is pleasant memory growing out
of that affair, nevertheless. 1t
was for trying to bride the jury
in that case that Dan NJ. Kelly,
counsel for the A. {. NJ, was
fined $500"

turned the 1000 shares of stock in
the Northwestern Trustee company
for which he had paid nothing. He
admitted at the trial of the case that
he paid nothing for the stock and
that he knew that Sidebotham was
using his name to obtain money from
the Ssucker&" He had no explanation
to make as to why he should receive
for nothing 1000 shares of the cap
ital stock for which poor people were
induced to pay by false representa-
tions, 500 share.
CROOKS AFTER WHEELER
The prosecution of those indicted
by the United States department of
justice, after the attorney general of
the United States had refused to in
terfere, was conducted by B. X.
Wheeler, then United States district
attorney. His success in the matter
so enraged the defendants and their
fellow stockholders that they imme-
diately commenced campaign of
SANDER and libel against him and en-
deavored to prevent the prosecution
of the cases. Even John D. Ryan,
then president Of the Anaconda Cop
per Mining company, and his then
chief adviser, Con F. Kelly, inter-
vened with the department of justice
at Washington and sought to induce
United States Senators Walsh and
Myers to quash the prosecution. Fail
ing in this they sent in their heaviest
legal experts to defend their political
retainers. They used Henry C..
Smith, attorney for the Montana
Power Company; D. M. Kelly, lawyer
and lobbyist, and Ex-Governor J. H.
Hawley of Boise, Ida, attorney for
the Idaho Power company, in which
Messrs. Ryan and Kelly are interest
ed.
WILMOT DOUBLE-CROSSED.
Acting at the earnest solicitation
of the array of counsel who were pri-
marily interested in protecting the
Standard Oil politicians, Wilmot and
Sidebotham were induced to stay off
the stand on the trial, fearing that
their cross-examination by Mr.. Wheel
er and his assistant, j. H. Baldwin,
would lead to the conviction Of the
men higher up.
! When Attorney Wheeler placed Will
mot and Sidebotham on the stand in
the criminal case against Kelly and
Galen the two latter objected to the
testimony of Wilmot and Sidebotham
upon the rule then in force in the
United States court prohibiting the
reception of evidence from convicts.
1t was said that Wilmot and Side
botham, had they been permitted to
testify, would have sworn that in the
case against themselves and the state
house crowd they were induced to
keep off the stand because Kelly and
Galen had assured them that the
Jury was fixed and that they would
be acquitted" Had Wilmot taken the
stand in the Northwestern Trustee
case, in the opinion of those who fol-
lowed the proceedings, he would have
been acquitted and his co-defendants
would now be in Leavenworth or
United States Senator William Borah
would be seeking for them a presiden-
tial pardon.
! SENATORS SILENT.
United States Senators Walsh and
Myers have not issued any public
