BUILDING COSTS
SHOW A DECLINE

Difficulty in convincing prospective
home builders that retail building
material prices have been reduced
materially within the last few months
is holding back the greatest consIuc-
ton boom in the history OF the United
States, was sthe statement of Nelson
Emry of the Emry Lumber & Fuel
Company.
People hesitate to build because
thew are under the false impression
that it costs as much to erect place
today as it would have cost year or
so ago" said Mr.. Emrv. LAS mat
ter Of fact, everything that enters into
the construction Of a house or building
has been reduced TO the point where
further price declines can hardly be
expected.
Lumber and general building ma
terial prices are lower tnday than they
have been since 1917. Everything has
been perceptibly reduced in price.
Labor, too, is plentiful.
'The law of supply and demand
rules in the building material world.
When the building boom that is i'm
minent in this country gets under way
il is difficult 10 say just how far the
prices may climb.
"Now IS the opportune time to build.
People who are holding Oft from build
inc in the hope thst there will be even
further decline 10 the market are going
TO be fooled. Ecor0mic c lnditions m
the United States are such that we
shall never see return 70 pre-wsr
prices on building materials.

 T further advised the court that these defendants were not entitled to a trial under the law until July 30, 1921. but the court persisted in setting the case for trial on May 9, and know ing the impossibility of a successful trial at that time and refusing to waste the money of the people of Cook county in a fruitless effort which would result in nothing but miscar- riage of justice, I was forced to and did enter the nolle prosequi.
 T now publicly state that I propose to appear before the grand jury of Cook county to again present the evi- dence of the commission of this crime and to ask the return of other indict- mcnts against the defendants named in the present indictments and agains, others not named therein It is my purpose to do everything within my power to reach every person guilty of this crime, and to send them to the penitentiary if the evidence warrants'

CASES AGAINST SOX PA YERS
HUTSELL TO COACH PANTHERS' TRACK
 SQUAD THIS YEAR
Local Institution After Meet With Alabama for
 March 25

Beginning next Monday, the trackmen of Birmingham-Southern will start training for the coming track season. Coach Hutsell of the B. A. C. has been secured to act as trainer and coach for the Panther trackmen. and in him the Partners will have one of the best track coaches in the south.
 Manager Cooper has already issued a call for men and several have already for the one-mile run for the Partners. Recently he represented Birmingham Southern in the University of Illinois invitation field meet, which was held at the University of Illinois. Cooper fin ished third in the semifinals and fifth in the finals on this occasion. In view of the fact that he was running against some of the best men in the country, among them being two Olympic men, Cooper's work is considered unusually good.
 In Davidson the Partners have a good sprinter and high jump man. Red Newsome. track letter man of 'f9 ana star traclsmen at Massey Military acade- my last year, will try to show 'em how the pole vault and middle distance run should be done.
 Captain Clark and DeYampert will also compete in the distance runs. For sprint CTS, in addition to Cooper and Davidson, there are Florence, Bracken, Webb and Scrivner. A
 'Hoss' Candy and Matthews will Sotn be seen in the pole vault. Candy will also try for the shot and hammer putt. Among the other likely track candidates are Wood and Green.
 Negotiations are under way for secur- ing meet with the University of Ala bama to te held on March 25.
 Also the Partners have issued a stand ing challenge to Howard for a meet, to be held any time this spring This chal- ienge has not been accepted thus far.
 There is now being built for the Pan ther trackmen cinder track. This track, which Birmingham-Southe has wanted and needed for a long time, is being built through the generosity of R. S. Munger. It is to be one-fifth of a mile in circumference, 15 feet wide. and is to be constructed with a base of clap and top of ,cinders. It is expected to be com plete within a few days.

ATTORNEY GROVE
 WANTS NEW CASES
 AGAINST PLAYERS
Corrupted Witnesses" Partly the Cause of Latest Devel-
 opment In Sox Cases

Chicago, March 17.-Immediate prosecution of Chicago White Sox players and others indicted in connec- ton with the alleged throwing of the l1s1s world series collapsed today when the state. charging corruption of it's chief witness, dropped~ the cases against seven of the players and Judge William E. Dever took the others off the court cali.
 Tonight, however, the state plunged Into the task of preparing a new case with announcement that the matter would be placed in the hands of a grand jury again tomorrow and rein iictment of the players, whose cases were dropped, sought.
 GROVE TAKES CHARGE
 Robert E. Grove, states attorney, took charge of the case today and an- nounced that he would handle it from now on. He ordered the cases dis missed after his plea for six months in which to gather new evidence had been dismissal by Judge Dever and May 2 is as date for trial.
 Tonight, in a formal statement, Mr. Grove placed the blame for the col. lapse of the case on his predecessors in office. charging they had handled it improperly and on an alleged con spiracy which he said had defeated d justice and corrupted Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte and Claude Williams, tn, men who confessed to the grand jury. He announced plans to go personally before the grand jury tomorrow to seek new indictments. He pledged himself to use every means to bring the guilty persons in this case to jus tlce.' declaring that many guilty per sons had not been indicted by the grand jury and that important wit. nesses were excused from answering questions which would have brought the real conspira tors to justice.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-03-18

He demanded six months to gather new evidence.
 When Judge Dever replied that 60 days was the limit, MT. Grove shouted, Well, the game is called, then. I'll ask nolle 1 prosse."
 1 George Barrett, American league attor- ney persuaded him to drop the cases only of the men who had given bail and this was done despite attorneys for the de- fense.
 INDICTED MEN, SILENT
 The men indicted were still under a ban of silence tonight, their attorneys 1 forbidding them to talk for publication until the statute of limitation expired.
 Mir Groves statement explaining why he dropped the cases follows in part:
 ",The investiga ton before the grand jury which returned these Indictments was conducted by my predecessors in office. Shortly after February l directed my second assistant, George E. Cor man, to have the baseball cases set | for trial at the earliest possible date and the trial was set for March IA. MT. | German began to prepare for the trial and we were amazed to find that the i iinvestigation of this crime conducted by my predecessor before the October grand jury was not a complete in- vestigation and that witnesses were | permitted to withhold material evil 1 dence and were excused by the states attorney from answering questions which would uncover the entire con- spiracy. We were further amazed to learn that all of the testimony taken before the grand jury was being pub licly offered for sale by New York newspaper syndicate.
 WITNESSES FLUSHED UP l We then learned that Cicotte who l 10 in rv that he was party to this conspiracy and had received $10.000 as his share of the spells, and that Claude Williams i and Joe Jackson, who testified that l they had received s5,0o0 apiece in payment as their share, had been cor ruptly, or otherwise, brought under theS domination of other defendants who had nt testified and were refus- ing to testify upon the trial of this case, as witnesses for the state.
 We further learned that many oth- CT persons who were parties to this criminal conspiracy had not been in dicted.
 When this situation was called to my attention, I directed MT. German to ask that the cases be passed from the court call in order to give my of flee sufficient time to obtain evidence which would prove the existence of this conspiracy and end in conviction of every guilty person. M
 To-day I told the court that it was absolutely impossible for me to ob- tain by May evidence which, I am 1 satisfied, is in existence and which would lead to the conviction of these defendants and other persons not named and that if the case was set for trial on May g. I would be forced to enter nolle prosse as to those dafandanfS | bail.
 T stated to the court that the stat ute of limitations as to certain of these defendants had still less than two weeks to run, that it was absolutely necessary in the interest of public jus tice that I be given a free hand to make a thorough investigation of this
