NOT SURE OF CRIME,
SAYS MACLAY HOYNE|
Cook County Prosecutor uncer-
tain Regarding Status Of
Bribed White Sox

New York, Sept. 3O.--Maclay Hoyne.
prosecutor Of Cook county, H., whose
office started the investigation into the
charges that the 1919 worlds series was
fixed. declared here that he was un-
certain whether any crime had been
committed.
He explained also that no indictments
had been returned, although voted, and
that the grand jury acted despite his
request that they defer action until he
returned to Chicago.
Mr.. Hoyne has been spending a vaca-
tion here. He left Chicago on Septem.
Der 1s and, he said. although he had
been in constant touch with his office.
he had known nothing Of the grand
jury's action until he saw the news
papers.
~ have spent months looking into
this matter" sair Mr.. Hoyne. "Some
time ago I stated that my office would
investigate the matter to the bottom and
/ have attempted to carry out this
promise. ! wired my office four days
ago not to finish the investigation until
] had returned, because had informa-
ton gathered in New York and else
where. ] also requested the grand jury
to take no action until had returned.
II don't know anything about all the
publicity that this affair Is getting now,
but ] do know that it is uncertain
whether there il any crime. Further
more no indictments have been returned.
1t may be true that indictments have
been voted, There may be an indict-
ment against you, but indictments arc
not made public until they are returned.
In this case apparently there Is not yet
any official charge against any one.
You may be certain that IL there is
any evidence of crime IL will be Wig
orously prosecuted. ! am going back to
Chicago tomorrow and will take with
me the information that have gathered
in this and other cities. The evidence
which l received here is largely corrob-
orative."
Mr.. Hoyne said that in Illinois pro-
cedure there were only two courses OF
action open TO a grand jury--either to
vote an indictment or not to vote one.
II an indictment is voted. he said, it
was usually returned Immediately.

URGES WAR DEBTS

Canadian Banker Says Ger
many Should Be Allowed to
Settle indemnity in Products
CAN REPAY PART OF LOAN

Members of the British delegation who
attended the imperial council of com.
merce IN Toronto. Canada. and arrived
here today, said that the American
bankers have more gold than they ac-
tually can use and prefer to accept pay
ment for Great Britain's war debt In
Far Fast and West Indian products.
"Our mission to this city is to find
out what products the local markets
need" said A. J. Hobson, president of
the Association of British Chambers of
Commerce and vice president Of the
International Chamber Of Commerce,
who Is in charge Of the delegation.
"We have amassed a great war debt
through relending part OF our loans to
France and the other allied nations. We
are prepared to return part OF our loans
now, but the American bankers have
enough gold and prefer to take their
money out in Far Fast products.
England has the inside track as far
as the East and West Indian trades are
concerned and therefore will ship their
manufactured products to those places
In exchange for tea. rice, cocoa and
other products, which in turn will b.
sent to this country in payment OF part
Of the loans.
This method of payment is salts
factory to us if the bankers prefer it
as it makes it easier to pay of our large
debt and at the same time IL makes 9

goods.

Reds Won't Surrender
Worlds Championship

Manager Pat Moran and all the
Cincinnati players, without excep-
ton, declare that at the time Of the
worlds series last year, and until
now, they had no idea other than
that they were winning on the level.
They say that at no time was any
intimation conveyed to them that
any crooked work was being done.
August Hermann, president of
the Reds. was asked what, under
the circumstances now laid bare,
the club was going to do about the
title it won last year.
"Will you surrender the cham
pionsbip or do you still consider
your claim TO victory beyond dis
pute?" Mr.. Hermann was asked.
He replied: ''.
II have never given such ridi-
culous question any thought. We
won the National League pennant
fairly and squarely, and had to beat
a team or two to do It that were
stronger than the White Sox, play
ing at their best and on the level.
We could not hand the pennant
back to the Sox, simply because
they did not try to win II, and
what is more, we believe firmly that
we would have beaten them had
every man on Comiskey's team
played the string out and on the
level"

That film does this:

Film is that viscous coat you feel. 1t
clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays.
The ordinary tooth paste does not end it.
Brushing does not keep teeth free.
Month after month il may linger to do
a ceaseless damage. Most tooth troubles
are now traced to film. And, despite the
tooth brush, they are constantly inereas-
ing.
It is the film-coat that discolors, not the
teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. 1t holds
food substance which ferments and forms
acid. 1t holds the acid in contact with
the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They, with
tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
