given runs enough to win with great
regularity, IL they will but deliver
the goods on the hill.
Warm Days VIII Help.
Warm weather will help the Wash
ington mound stan marvelously.
When one notes that Walter Johnson
and Jim Shaw have been tagging be-
hind ever since the flag went up, he
has reason for bright hopes of the
future. He would be an ignoramous
who thought Walter Johnson was
done as a winning pitcher, but the
great Kansan needs some warm
weather to thaw out. Then he will
begin pitching the same brand of
magnificent baseball which has made
his name known from one corner of
the land to the other.
Jim Shaw reported late and not in
the best Of condition. Starting behind
his teammates, Shaw suffered most
from the inaction Of the first two
weeks of the season, when cold and
rain postponed many games. ,compell-
ing him to idle around hotels. .. How
ever, he, hasbeen driven hard since
then and should be about ready to
greet the coming warm weather with
the real thing in the way Of twirling.

trouble is his pitching staff. II he can
obtain steady work from Johnson,
Shaw, Erickson and one other, work.
ing them in rotation, the evident
strength and speed Of the team should
result in many victories.
Grins Are Here Today.
The Griffmen are due to clash here
today with the Philadelphia Athletics,
leaving at midnight for New York.
where they are destined to work hard
for the next three days. Tomorrow in
New York there will be morning and
afternoon contests, with a single
game on Tuesday and a double-header
on Wednesday.
Next Thursday the Boston Red Sox,
who have been tearing things wide
open for the East two weeks, will
make their second appearance at
Georgia avenue, remaining for four
days, closing their visit next Sunday.
Both clubs will leave that night for
the West. the Griffmen going all the
way to st. Louis, considered the worst
jump in the league.
If the Griffmen can win a major
ity of. their coming games with the
Yankees and Red Sox, and this Is by
no means an impossibility, they stand
an excellent chance of entering the
West in the first division. BY that
time the warm days should have
thawed out the hurlers, and, with
Clark Griffith and George Mcbride to
drive the regulars to the limit, more
victories than defeats may be expect
for the athletes to return here on

Anderson Contempt
Charges May Be
Determined To-day
An,i-Saloon League Heads
Statements No Basis for
Action, Says Bracket;
Committee Near Decision

ALBANY, April William Fl. An
Anti-Saloon League, has made no state
,ments against members of the Assem-
bly, that could be tortured into an
excuse for contempt charges" accord
ing to a brief submitted by his at
torney, former State Senator Edgar t.
Bracket, to the Assembly Judiciary
Committee to-day. The Judiciary Com
mittee has been directed by the AS
sembly to investigate the alleged con-
tempt charges lodged against Mr.. An
derson. 1t voted again to put off &C
ton, but will probably reach decision
tomorrow.
Senator Brackets brief sets forth
that while Mr.. Anderson's utterances
and statements may have been irritat-
ing to certain members of the Assem-
bly,, and the earnestness of his spoken
and written words may not have been
to their liking, they were entirely
within the rights of any citizen in de-
claring his opinion of the acts of pub
lie officials, and that nothing is shown
that constitutes violation of the legs-
lative law or contempt of the Legs-
lature or any member Of it.
Commenting upon Andcrson's state
ment regarding Assemblyman Louis A.
Cuvillier that if he allowed the hair
to grow on his face he could imper-
senate the missing link without
makeup" the brief says
This is nothing other than an opin-
ion as to Mr.. Cuvillier's pulchritude.''
Chairman Louis A. Martin of the
Judiciary Committee expressed the
opinion that the committee had no
jurisdiction to call Mr.. Anderson be-
fore it. 1t is understood that ma
jority of the members of the com
mittee share Mr.. Martins opinion and
wiz SO report.

When Gaspare Cannone, an Italian
and an alleged anarchist was arraigncd
yesterday before a special board of in
CURRY at Ellis Island in deportation
proceedings, his attorney submitted an
affidavit declaring Cannone had been
kept in close confinement for three
days following his arrest on March 90,
and had been subjected to brutal in

Agents of the Department of Justice,
Cannone asserted. had beaten him
about the head and face 'and reviled
him in an effort to make him implicatc
persons whom he did not know in bomb

equally ignorant. In that way, it is al
legged, he was forced to make state

ton with bombs that were planted
June 2, 1919. in Washington and else

"The committee will throw it's whole

Mr.. Hilly, "for if it is not passed con-
ditons on October are going to be
simply frightful. The present law
ends all unwritten leases on that date
and there are thousands of them. I'm
der the Black bill such tenances would

This bill has the remarkable feature
that it is supported by both landlords
and tenants. If it is passed it will al
most entirely obviate the October

over the entire year"
Several hundred more cases were
disposed of in the municipal courts
yesterday, the decisions being, as
usual, almost entirely in favor of the
tenants. Justice Davies handled about
$50 cases and succeeded in compromis-
ing most of them for lower rents than
the landlords demanded. Justice
Robitzek settled some 800 on the basis
of 20 to Is per cent increase. No i'm

Major Charles A. Du Bots tried to JUS
tify increases of from 40 to Sc per cent
against twenty tenants of 614 West

material to show the increased cost OF
running the building; claimed several
flats had been papered-at which
tenants who were present snickered
and were rebuked by the justice-and
argued that the investor should be al

money. The justice reserved decision
In Justice Gaffney's court, an attorney
Harry Millstein, tenant of an apart

tried to justify boost from $50 to $50

in improvements on the building, the
rent increase for the single apartment
being $3.50. The justice ordered the
rent cut to $45 and granted Millstein a
three months stay, with promise Of re-

Home Still Explodes, Killing
Pullet and Wrecking Flat
Disheveled Parrot Murmurs Insistently, ssWhat the
Hell?'' as Patrolman Arrests Its Owner After
Finding Five Barrels of Fermenting Mash

Florian Kutchera's neighbors, at TIA
East Third Street, tonight thought him
bit peculiar, but they never pried into
his affairs until his affairs forced them
selves on their attention last night. For
his part, also, Florian kept to himself,
associating only with the white Angora
cat, the white Leghorn pullet and the
gorgeous green and crimson and gold
parrot that shared his three-room home
with him.
When a rancid and 2ermeating odor
that outdid the garlic and the cabbage
and the onions Of the half-dozen other
households in the tenement began to
sneak across doorsills and through win
dow cracks last night there was no COM
plant by the tenants Of TIA East Third
Street They assumed that Florian
could manage his own affairs and they
let him alone, although the odor un-
doubtedly emanated from his home.
But when, about $3.50, there came a
detonation that rocked the house, smash
ing its windows and those in the two
adjoining houses, TIA East Third Street
turned itself inside out, and so did the
other tenants, while from the courtyartls
came the popping of revolvers as the
East Side sent in it's accustomed alarm
for fires and bombs.
Patrolman Stops His Flight
Speedy and tumultuous as was the
fight of the tenants of 174 East Third
Street, it was laggard in comparison
to the speed of the luckless Florian
who, according to the least excited of
tn witnesses, emerged from the front
door in time to be showered with the
slivers Of glass blown out by the ex-
plosion in his. second floor apartment.
1t was likewise related that before
the glass had ceased to fall the CORY
faced but speedy Florian had reached
the corner of Avenue A. There he ran
squarely into the arms of Patrolman
Flanagan, of the East Fifth Street po-
lice station.
where are We runnin' to in such a
hurry?" demanded Flanagan. "And
what was the big noise up the street ?"
