DRY PARTY. MANAGER
DENOuNCES RUMORS

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 26 - Rumors
calculated to injure the prohibition
state and national ticket are being
circulated in Indiana to the effect that
the party will have no ticket in the
field, j. Raymond Schmidt, campaign
manager for Aaron S. Watkins, prohi-
bition candidate for president, said in
a statement here today.
Upon entering the state Monday
to spend the week campaigning with
DR.. Watkins, prohibition candidate for
president. l soon found that unscrupu-
lous politicians are up to their old
trick of circulating false rumors cal
culated to injure the prohibition party
at the eleventh hour of the campaign -
said the statement. "This time they
are telling the people that there will
be no prohibition national and state
ticket to vote in Indiana this year.
II wish to denounce all such rumors
as false and remind interested voters
that the prohibition ticket will be
found in the fourth column of the of.
fetal national and state ballot on
Nov. 2.
There is also an erroneous impress
sion abroad that Mr.. Watkins has quit
the race for the presidency. To clear
up all doubt l wish to state emphatic
ally that Mr.. Watkins has not with
drawn and will not withdraw from
the field"
Mr. Watkins will spend the closing
week of the campaign in Indiana

School Marin at Chicago
Referees. While Her Boys
Settle Disputes With Fists
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Oct 26.-School-room dis
putes among the boys at the Webster
school here, where children of % ma
tionalities attend classes, are not set
tied by the arbitrary fiat Of the teach
er. Instead, the principal of the school,
Miss Alice M. Hogge, believes in let
ting the boys decide their grievances
with their fists, it was learned today,
and in the latest quarrel she acted as
second to both combatants, and
referee.
1t was a fight to the finish in the
school basement between Salvatore
Sortino and Abe Scion, both aged II.
Time was called several times to en-
able the combatants to rest and rinse
out their mouths, and after fifteen
minutes Salvatore had an unquestion-
ed decision.
Letting the boys fight out their
troubles is the best way in a school
such as the Webster" said Miss
Hogge. "Of course the fights must be
fair.
81 never permit any serious injuries.
A black eye or two such as Abe got.
is usually the limit. Abe was inclined
to be a bully and got just what he
needed. They will be friends now and
we will have no further trouble from
them"
J. G.. Mortensen, superintendent Of
schools, declared he was in favor Of
Miss Hogge's method, saying 1t is the
most successful ever tried in that
school.

HAVANA, Oct. 26.-American pro-
ducts valued at millions of dollars are
tied up at the port of Havana seem
ingly without prospect or hope of
early delivery.
Conditions have become so menac-

hundreds of tons of foodstuffs for
which war prices are paid on the ISL

There is such an utter congestion
on the wharves that it has not been

reach many decayed shipments.
Warning against possible cpl

JOE GIDEON WACERED
HUNDREDS ON REDS,
TELLS CHICAGO JURY
tBy Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, Oct 26.-Joe Gedeon.
second baseman of the st. Louis Amer
leans was present today to testify in
the baseball Investigation of the Cook
county grand jury and the appearance
OF Arnold Rothstein, Of New York said
by some witnesses to be leading fig
ure in the alleged bribing of world
series players, had been promised by
his attorney.
The evidence of these two and Har-
ry Redmond of St. Louis, also said to
be connected with the plot to "fix''
the 1919 worlds series, was expected
to conclude the investigation today or
tomorrow.
Ban Johnson, president of the Amer
lean league and several local men said
to be acquainted with the circulation
of baseball pools may also be called
at the closing session.
Gedeon arrived yesterday from Sac
ramento, Calf, at the request of the
American league president. His con-
nection with the 1919 series had been
under investigation and Johnson re-
quested the jury to withhold action
until Gedeon had a chance to appear.
Gedeon agreed to sign an immunity
waiver.
Admits Winning on Reds.
When questioned by Judge Charles
A. Macdonald and Assistant States
Attorney Hartley Replogle, Gedeon
denied any direct knowledge OF the
fixing of the SERIES although admit
ting he won $500 on the Cincinnati
Reds. =
Il bet $500 on Cincinnati because l
had heard rumors that they would
win and because I thought they had
the best team" he said, but l was
not mixed up in the bribery and did
not act as a go between to arrange
the deal between the ball players and
the gamblers, as some people say. l
went west with 'Swede' Risberg and
Chick Gandil after the series, but
they never told me anything about
throwing the series. The states at
torneys here seem to think l know
lot, judging from the questions they
asked me, but l don't"
Rothstein Evidence Important.
In regard to the testimony to be
presented by Rothstein, officials said
his evidence, provided he tells all they
allege he knows, will be the most I'M
portant yet introduced.
Evidence is said to have been given
the jury that hotHSle was app oe'Oi
ed by Hal Chase, Abe Attell and others
for money with which to finance the
fixing" He is said to have been
asked for 100000 to bride Chicago
players, but some witnesses are said
to have told the jury be refused to
take part in the deal and that the
alleged bribers then went to other
gamblers.
Redmond was expected to give de-
tails of the trip Manager William
Gleason of the White Sox made to
ST Louis last fall in search Of evidence
that the worlds series had been
fixed"

Local Opinions Differ
On Death of M'Swinev

Was Mac Swiney murdered by the
British government? Did he commit
suicide, or is his case like a soldier
giving his life for his country?
1t is interesting to consider the opin-
ions of local lawyers and of the
clergy.
1T would have proven disastrous to
the penal system of the British govern
ment had they released him." was the
opinion of local attorneys. Suppose
that such a precedent had been made.
Then law enforcement would soon
come to naught, for every man placed
in prison would go on a hunger strike
and compel his release, they added.
IF the British government denied
him food, then it was murder But if
he refused to eat when supplied, then
it was surely suicide as though he had
shot himself or used some quick
method of voluntarily ending his life"
said one attorney. l understood that
lie had been given a fair trial by court
martial, and sentenced following his
conviction. If that is true, according
to law, the British government did the
only thing there was to do. AS to the
policy the government should have
adopted in the matter, that is another
thing. I am speaking from the legal
standpoint"
Quite another opinion was expressed
by local Catholic priest. He believed
that he Lord Mayor had been thrown
into prison without trial. Il believe
that he didn't commit suicide any more
than a soldier giving his life for his
country" said the minister. "He was
seized and imprisoned without just
cause, and he made his protest against
the action by giving his life"

LIMITED DIVORCE
REMEDY FOR EVIL
BOND TELLS ROTARY

Limited divorce, as check on the
divorce evil was recommended by
Judge w. A. Bond, speaking before the
Rotary club luncheon Tuesday noon on

eff the laws of our country were
such that a judge could grant limited
divorces, allowing the property rights
to be settled and the children, If any.
disposed of, but forbidding the parties
from marrying again without commit
ting bigamy, the number of divorces
would be greatly diminished" stated
Judge Bond. At the present time this
is impossible, absolute divorce being
the law"
Judge Bond urged the Rotary club
to think seriously over the problems
which he outlined. In his talk he
spoke of the great responsibility that
rested upon a Juvenile court judge.
He stated that the great difficulty
faced by the juvenile judge was that
by the time the child came there, 1t
had already been ruined to certain
extent, and that the real place to be-
gin was in the home.
A personal interest by good citizens
was urged. "The need" according to
the judge, lis for people to act as
guardians and take an interest in tie
child in the home. Help insul good,
fruitful and rightful ideals in the
child at an early age"
The work of the social service bu.
reau was praised as being along this
line, but wholly inadequate because
of the limited number actively work
ing with it.
The judge ended his talk with a
that few changes
be made in the laws to make them
more effective in regard to social
evils; that people give more personal
attention to conditions, and that prac-
teal hygenics be inaugurated in mar
riage and social life.
The Rotary club met in the First
M. E. church. Dinner was served by
the women of the church.
