The Chicago Cub owners deserve
much credit for the firm stand they
have taken in the Magee case. They
bet against own club and then played
| ball trying to beat his own club. In
other words they charge him with
throwing ball games. or trying to.
When Magee was with the Brooklyn
club & Brooklyn fan. who refused to
hign his name, wrote me three different
times making the same charge against
, Magee. He said he knew Magee we'll
and had heard him say what he was
doing. But the fan, whoever lie was
would not back up his statements and
80 there was nothing to do but consider
them unfounded. I offered him a
bunch Of cash 20 produce the proof
thinking he was making the charges
maliciously. The writer Of those let
/ ters knew 80 much about the inside Of
several ball clubs that finally became
| certain he was player, or some at
| tacbe of club.
| Mcgee's case is one to be regretted
He was a great ball player. a fellow
| who was lkablc. good looking, we'll
hammered and we'll educated. He could
have been almost anything he desired
II he is guilty. the powers Of baseball
| should bar him forever, 1t is to be
hoped that the trial will compel Magce
to tell the names OF other players who.
he charges, were doing the same sort Of
business.

greater opportunity for the people 10

Palmer to Ask Wilson to
Take Work from Labor
Department.

The possibility OF a direct show
down between the Department of
Justice and the Department of
Labor over the Red question became
known yesterday following an an
nouncement by the Department OF
Labor that the hearing of Ludwig
C. K. Martens, so-called Soviet am
bassador. arertsed under a deporta-
tion warrant, had been postponed
again. this time until May IL.
The split between the two depart
ments over the deportation of radi-
Gals from the United States has
been widening rapidly. and plans
are being made now by the Depart
ment of Justice to bring the con-
troll over undesirable aliens, entirely
within the department from the
time of their arrest until they are
sent back to their native countries.
Handicapped, Is Claim.
The three postponements, which
have been had in the Martens case,
Department of Justice officials say,
are only a sample of the entire
course taken by the Department of
Labor. which they charge has
handicapped all that they have
been able to do in stamping outtth
spread of ideas calculated to over
throw the government by force and
violence.
A program being considered by
the Department of Justice is to pc
tition Congress to move the Bureau
of Immigration, now a part of the
Department of Labor, into the De-
partment of Justice. so that in the
future the one branch of the gov
ernment may work without inter-
vention of any other
Character Work Disregarded.
1t is the contention of the men,
bers of the governments legal de-
partment that the Department of
Labor has set aside, as insufficient,
hundreds of cases which were in
vestigated. checked up, and found
by agents of the Department of Jus
tice to be perfect" cases for depor-
tation under the provisions of the
statutes governing the conduct of
aliens.
1t Is understood that the conflict
between the two departments has
not been placed before the President
yet but will be at the next Cabinet
meeting by A. Mitchell Palmer, At
torney General.

SALES LEVY DOOMED

Republicans OF the House WAYS
and Means Committee are confident
that action on the proposed soldier
relief legislation will be obtained
in this SESSION of Congress by a
compromise on the method of rais-
ing the $500. .ooo. 900 necessary. By
eliminating the sales tax feature
of the present program and sub
stituting, possibly, methods of tax
alton proposed by James A. Frear.
of Wisconsin, they expect sufficient
support to pass the measure.
The proposed measure would raise
$3.50, 100000 by a tax on final sales
and it is to this provision tina,
many Republicans object. Instead
of this provision the committee will
this week consider the substitution
Of a normal tax on corporation diyi-
dends, rs per cent tax on stock

biles and an increase on amusement
admission taxes as proposed by
Frear.
No change in the benefits planned
for the ex-service men are antici-
pated, according to Henry w. Wat
son, of Pennsylvania. OF tho five
alternatives proposed, Watson points
out that the insurance provision will,

entitled, and mature in twenty years.
If the veteran dies within the en-
dowment period. the cash value of

Watson points out that when a
veteran elects to take a certificate,
the government increases his pay 40
per cent after the fifth year and that
the certificates have a loan value

Moon
Greets Lovers
hD.C.Parks
Total Eclipse Here Turns
Silvery Night Into Nu-
bian Darkness.

Youth, whose fancies turn moon
lightly to Washington's leafy park
ways, If informed of the prank the
moon was due to play last evening
may have mistaken the shadow on
his face for a frown at the absence
of chaperons. But any who be-
lieved that a good natured old moon
ever frowned at the only natural
use of his silvery beams has a heart
that is hard-and unfair.
Anyway. it was all the earth's
fault. The earth got in the way
and was responsible for the shadow.
The total eclipse of the moon seen
by Washingtonians beginning at S:15
p. m. last night was visible over all
of Europe. Africa. the Atlantic
Ocean and North and South America
and portions of the Pacific and
Indian Oceans.
In Eastern standard time the
moon entered what is knowl as the
penumbral shadow at $40 p. m, but
the moon rose partially eclipsed as
seen here. 1t entered the earth's
shadow zone at 7:O1 o'clock and at
Sis was totally obscured.
The total phase of the eclipse
lasted for one hour and twelve min
utes, the mid-totality. being S:51.
when the. moon was most. deeply
in the earth's shadow. The
moon passed out of the earth's
shadow zone at 10:41 and out of the
penumbral shadow at 1853.
