can go. Otherwise it would 20 even
further.
There need be no doubt about the
prosecution of guilty players and their
co-conspirators. None of those who
nave. confessed has been granted i'm
munity; in fact, each has specifically
waived it. or course, it will be nat
urai for the prosecution to take into
consideration services which the in
olcted men have performed for the
STATE, but that does not mean thew will
escape Indictment.
-, The legal proposition is SOUND.

also reported that efforts would be made
to obtain statements from two addi-
tional White Sox players, who have heon
suspended, as to their part in throwing
games.
Fixing To Be Stopped
Judge McDonald's statement followed
conference with members of the
State Attorneys staff. Those pres
ent at the conference were First AS
sistant State Attorney Raber and
Assistant State Attorney Lightfoot
and Hartley Replogle. At the conc1u-
sion Mr.. Replogle issued the following
statement:
Congress should pass an act making
it a felony by any one to offer bribe
or a gratuity TO any baseball player
playing interstate ball TO play our ma
tional game other than on its merits
and also making it felony for any
such player to accept such bribe o,
gratuity. Let Congress act"
1t is practically certain that this rec
ommendation will be incorporated ir
the final report Of the grand jury.
AS far as the grand jury is con.
cerned, it was made plain by Foreman
Henry H. Brigham that it wants to see
the investigation through to the finish
There are at least two differen
counts on which each of the White
Sox ball players named in true bill
voted by the grand jury may be prose
cuted, according to Alfred S. Austrian
attorney for Charles A. Comiskey
owner Of the White Sox.

SPAIN IS ACCUSED

1918, 1T is ALLEGED
Mas Restrained Only by Naval At

Friendship for Huns.

Washington.-The remarkable dis
closure that Spain was about to en-
ter the war against the United States
AMI the allies in the spring Of lvlS,
and was prevented only by the efforts
Of the American naval attache and
mis- associates in Madrid. was made
Saturday in n letter frr'~
mIrai BENTON G. Decker. who = now
III charge Of the Seventh Naval dis
ticts with headquarters ut Key West.
Florida.
Admiral Decker was the United
States naval attache at Madrid at the
time of The great German offensive in
1918 and his letter contained declsn-
alton of the navy cross awarded him.
All the same time ii revealed the great
post-al1nistice sensation.
In connection with the disclosure
of Admiral Decker, it was revealed Off
cialIy that when the submarine cam
paign off the Spanish coast in the At
Ianlic. the Bay of Biscay and the Med
itcrranean was ut its height, the al
lied governments, including the United
States. dispatched note to Madrid
calling attention to the apparent ease
with which depradations were com
mitted on allied shipping. Soon after
the transmission of this note Spain ad-
dressed Il communication to Germany,
emphasizing the fact that she was IA
neutral, and she followed this up by
interning some of the German under
water craft
These events apparently confirm the
opinion of Admiral Decker that the at
| titude of Spain at least of the Span
ish court, was of extreme danger to the
cause of the allies and likewise one
which took little account of the sup
posed position of neutrality which the
nation had declared.
1t is evident from the letter of the
American officer that he had positive
knowledge that the Spanish foreign Of
flee, in March, 1913. was in favor of
having Spain east her luck with Ger
many. England. however. il was
learned. suspected the Spanish foreign
office from the very beginning Of the
war. One of the most sensational
episodes at the outset of the war was
the seizure of the steamship Kroon
land at Gibraltar. This vessel car
ried n large cargo of copper, and al
though this was TO have been LANDED
at a Spanish port. it was seized by ths
British authorities on the theory tha
the ultimate destination of the meta
was to be Germany.
Had Spain entered the war on the
side OF Germany during the crucia
days of 1918. it is doubtful whether thu
allies would have been victorious and
at all events, whether the struggle
would now be over.

OLD FOLKS CELEBRATE.


The old folks are just as young as
the young folks-if not more So
This seeming paradox was proved
conclusively Tuesday night at the old
folks social held at the Anona. Ma
ny of the old-time favorites were
danced again-to the great delight
of the large crowd of old, young, and
middle-aged young folks who were
present.
The oldfashioned dances are not
to be laughed at. In comparison
with the new dances, they may be
termed as nothing short of marvel
Gus The new dances bear the same
relation to the old dances that an
evening in a comfortable Morris
chair bears to the sports of baseball
boxing, or skiing If one has skill
merely in twisting the shoulders
gracefully, he lacks many of the
qualifications one must have to be
expert in the old-fashioned dances
One interesting feature of the eve
ming was the step dancing by Mrs,
j +. Bach and l.. r. Curtis.
There is to be another old folks
social week from next Thursday
night.
