ICURFEW SHALL
RING TONIGHT
SAYS COUNCIL

Beginning tonight, and continuing
thereafter, the police committee Of
the city council in conjunction with
the mayor, have decided that the old
curfew of 1902 will be put in oper-
alton in an effort to keep the young
sters of teh city off the streets at late
hours.
The curfew will ring 9 p. m. and
the ordinance provides that after that
time "no child under 18 years of age
shall loiter or be seen on the streets,
unless accompanied by parents ..
guardian" Exception is made of
any who have been sent on errands by
their parents or those that work after
that hour, but all others will be SUBJ
ject to a vne of from $5 to $25. The
might police have been instructed to
enforce the measure to the letter.
The ordinance was approved June
I10, 1902, when E. E. Jones was
Ilnayor.
The reason for its revival, accord
ing to members of the council, is be-
cause of the fact that too many small
boys are making a practice Of loiter-
ing ON the streets and alleys until II
and IL O'Clock at night. A good many
of them have gotten into mischief
and some have been arrested for bum
ming and stealing.
City officials have expressed a de-
termination to put stop to petty
thievery and all the other things that
are making criminals out of young
boys.

 sions, which are missing, the state could have the court stenographers at the grand jury inquiry read from their notes the testimony of the three. He completed the states triumph by granting permission for Judge Mo Donald and others, to whom the play CTS told their stories before going to the grand jury, to testify to these conversations, the state thus being able to present series of identical confessions instead of only one.
 Will Read Confessions
 The confessions will be read to The jury tomorrow. Judge Mcdonald to- day told his version of them . how Cicotte was paid $10.000 and Jackson and Williams $5o0o each. the latter two claiming they were double crossed out of s15,000 more apiece promised. Following the reading of the confessions. Alfred Austrian, White Sox attorney, will relate what the three players told him, and Harry Brigham, foreman of the grand jury, is to verify the statements as read by the court reporters.
 Cicotte, Jackson and Williams tes- tified with the jury absent, their tes- timony dealing only with the admiss- ability of the confessions. Chewing
 
 low, but distinct tone, Cicotte told how he had broken down before Judge Mcdonald and with tears in his eyes confessed to him.
 'I have cried aplenty over this case" he said. q didn't weep and wall as some say, but I guess there were plenty of tears In my eyes and the crying I have done inwardly is much greater than the tears which actually came out.''
 When Judge Mcdonald had finished denying the statements the players attributed to him that he promised immunity. he walked over to Cicotte and Jackson. Hello Eddie" he said I'm sorry, but I had to tell the truth
 Judge Denies Immunity Cicotte smiled. Hello judge" was all he said. Jackson said nothing Judge McDonald not only denied immunity was promised. but followed 1 with testimony in the presence of the

jury which confirmed much of Bill Burns story. He quoted Eddie Ci- cotte as telling him the alleged con spiracy was started at the Arsonla hotel. New York, in conversation between Cicotte and another party, Judge Mcdonald not being permitted to mention any name. but that of the man he was quoting. He quoted Ci- cotte as confirming Burns story that players asked for s100,0o0 and that meetings were held ar the Sinton hotel in Cincinnati and the Warner hotel in Chicago.
 A scandal within scandal de- veloped today when Ban Johnson, president of the American league, sent word to Robert Grove, states attorney that he had evidence that Arnold Rothstein of New York. whose name has been prominent in the case but who was not indicted. and other customers paid s10,000 for copies of the grand jury testimony and for the immunity waivers. confessions and other documents missing. Mir. Grove said he would start an immediate investigation.
 q charge" said Mir Johnson's com munication, that Arnold Rothstein paid s10,000 for the grand jury con- fessions of Edward Cicotte, Claude Williams and Joseph Jackson. l charge that this money, brought to Chicago last fall by a representative of Rothstein, went to an attache of the states attorneys office; that after Rothstein had examined these con fessions in New York city and had found that the ball players had not involved him, he gave the documents fn fria editor a New York newspaper. May Not Gall Gedeon
 George German, assistant states attorney, in charge of the prosecu- tion, said tonight that the state might not call Billy Maharg of Philadelphia. and Joe Gedeon, former St. Louis player, as witnesses. ''We may be able to complete our case with the confessions he said, "and if we do, we will leave Maharg and Gedeon out"
 Maharg was expected to confirm much of Bill Burns story, and Gedeon to testify against son1o St. Louis man who is supposed to have offered to put up s1o,000 to have games thrown. | Testimony about the confessions is l expected to take up most of tomorrow | and if Gedeon and Maharg testify l they probably will appear Wednes- | day.
 Eddie Cieotte, former White Sox | pitcher, was called to the stand to tell his own story of how he confessed l after Replogle's cross examination had been finished. with a further de-
 nial by the witness that any promises
 of immunity had been made the men
 who confessed
 | Cicotte Testifies
 Cicotte said he was introduced to l Replogle by MT. Austrian, who said
 This is MT. Replogle of the states I attorneys office.'
 "Austrian,'' said Cicotte, 'said tc I me: 'Replogle has the goods on you Eddie. You know this will be long
 trial. You don't want your wife an6
 babies here then. Now come clear with Replogle and he'll take care o1 you
 "They took me to Judge Mcdonald
 He asked me if 1 couldn't tell more I about the gamblers I said I could
 not and Mcdonald then said: 'Gc
 ahead and indict him.
 I T said to ReplogIe on my way tc
 the grand jury. Don't this go about l what you and Austrian promised i me?'
 l He said: Sure it does Then
