should be given the right of cooper
ative marketing, should be encouraged
through the federal farm loan sys-
tenn to own the farms they live on
and should be given protection against
unfair competition from abroad; he
also discussed in detail the problem
of rural education, taking occasion to
speak a word for the education OF

$4,000 VERDICT
AGAINST SAL. IS
GIVEN SAWYERS
Jury Compromises On
Amount-Road Gives
Notice Of Appeal

A verdict awarding $4,000 dam
ages to the w, H. Sawyer & Sons
Co., against the Seaboard Air Line
railway as the result of the fire last
October 28 which destroyed the Saw
yer machine shops beside the Sea-
board tracks, in Americas by a jury
in the City Court was returned Satur-
day afternoon. The amount asked
was $4,000.
The verdict was arrived at in COM
partaively short time, although it re-
quired two and one-half days to try
the case. The verdict as returned oc-
casioned wide surprise about the
court house and brought an immedi-
ate notice from Attorney w. w.
Dykes, for the defense, of an appeal
Members of the jury after they
had been dismissed by the court,
stated that the verdict as returned
represented a compromise. 1t was
said at least two of the twelve men
contended against any award whatso-
ever for the plaintiffs contendine
that the evidence warranted none,
while at least two others stood out for
amounts much larger than was fin
ally agreed tupon. The chrage by
Judge Littlejohn, presiding for Judge
Harper, came at IL O'Clock, follow
ing which the jury was taken to din
ner and no time was lost after re-
turning to the court house in reaching
an agreement.
Surprise in the verdict was express
ed by persons who listened to the ev-
idence throughout the trial of the
case. 1t was the contention of the
plaintiff that a railroad engine
set fire to grass adjoining the Sawyer
shops, which in turn ignited the build
ing and resulted in the loss. The chief
and assistant chief of the city fire
department testified that no grass
was burning at the time they alriv-
ed, but that the blaze was son the
inside of the shop. One witness for
the plaintiffs testified seeing an en-
gine passing in the dark and throw
ing sparks into the air.
The plaintiffs were represented by
Hixon and Pace, and the defense by
W. W. Dykes and Robert Hawkins.

SULLIVAN SAYS
HE'LL NOT STAND
FOR BEING GOAT GOAT
Declares He Will Tell
Whole Inside Story
OF Deal

CHICAGO, Oct. 2-The Cook
county grand jury, which has been
investigating the baseball scandal,
held no session today, other than a
perfunctory one to dispose of the
formalities making it special body,
to continue to probe. Testimony ta-
king will be resumed Monday. On
Tuesday Manager McGraw of the New
York Giants, Toney, Giants pitcher,
and Kauff, former Giant outfielder
will conclude the evidence relative
to Heine Zimmerman, Hal Chase
and Lee Magee, National League
players alleged to have conspired to
throw ball games during the 1919
season.
Reports received here by officials
from New York said "Sport" SulIi-
van, mentioned in the grand jury tes-
timony here, declared there was
"great big master mind behind the
! deal" which involved payments to
White Sox players to "throw" last
years world series. He said when he
gets to Chicago he will tell the whole
inside story of the frame-up.
They've made me the goat and
Pm not going to stand for it," he
said. 'T'm going to name big man
whose money it was paid off the
White Sox players"
The present investigation, it was
said, is fastening a plan which has
been under discussion for some time
among the sporting authorities and
others to put control of the game un-
der a national tribunal, composed of
men prominent in the country not
connected with baseball, rather than
to have it controlled by private in
terests. Four major league clubs the
White Sox. Chicago Cobs. New York
Giants and Pittsburg Nationals have
endorsed the plan, it was understood
and the Boston Americans and Phil
adelphia Nationals also have apurov-
ed it's adoption Such men as General
Pershing. Ex-President Taft, Major
General Wood and Federal Judge
Lands already have been mentioned
to form such a tribunal The plan
has been outlined to the president of
every club in the major and minor
LEAGUES, and request made for quick
reply to the statement sent out.
