BURNS Calls

fcan,inuod from rage one,

men who had been mentioned by Burns
in his direct testimony. They included
most Of the infied and two outfielders
of the regular White Sox team
Were all these men in the hotel
while this practice was going on" he
repeated.
Il don't know about the practice"
said Burns, "but they were in the hotel
when l got there"
Were Weaver, Risberg and Schalk
present? 2"
The mention of Ray schalk, whose
name had never been connected with
the scandal, caused murmur in the
courtroom. Burns answered calmly:
Eyes, they were there"
"You are sure of it ?"
YES"
Assistant States Attorney Tyrrell
lcaped from his chair.
"Did You mean to name Schalk, Mr..
Nash % he inquired with some heat.
"No, Of course not" returned At
torney Mash. II meant Felsch. But
suppose that if had asked this wit
ness If Charles A. Comiskey was in
the room he'd have said Yes"
The examiner pinned Burns down to
an admission that he had not seen the
players after the first game, as he

"Did'nt you say that you saw them
after the first game ~ he demanded.
81 amt sayin' | did, replied Burns.
"Answer yes or no."
"i'll answer as | please"
Mr.. Nash then had portions of the
record read, showing that Burns had
been asked by Prosecutor German re-
garding a meeting after the first game
and that he had described such a
meeting in detail. At this point Mr..
Nash announced his intention of i'm
peaching the witness as periurer.
Several sensations developed as At
torney Ahern took over the examina-
tion from Mr.. Nash. The attorney
asked Burns if Billy Maharg, the
Philadelphian who has been closely
connected with Burns in all his deal
ings with the States Attorneys Office,
was really peaches" Graham, former
Cub catcher. Burns looked startled,
but denied the allegation.
Questions were interjected at odd
points of the inquisition to bring out
the details of the old feud between
johnson and Comiskey. Attorney
Ahern startled the court at one stage
of the examination by asking the wit
ness point blank if part of his con-
tract with the States Attorneys office
for his testimony in the case had not
included an agreement whereby Maharg
was to sue omiskey for the $4,000

Divorce suits increased from 4 ,267

The predominant causes of this re-

CLEAN THE
TRIANGLE

In Connection with the sugges-
ton that clean up day be set apart
in Montpelier, wouldn't it be a good
idea IL the business men of Mont
pelier would take it upon them
selves to clean up the triangle, the
newly acquired city park proper
erty near the passenger station?
If the triangle is to remain in its
present condition all summer it will
certainly be poor advertisement
for Montpelier, and there is little in
dication at present that the debris
will be cleaned away this spring.
most of the passengers passing thru
the city daily are brought in contact
with this terrible mass of junk and
filth, and 1t certainly looks anything
but inviting from passenger coach.
1t is no longer necessary too de-
pend upon the public spiritedness
of private individuals to clean up
this particular piece of ground. 1T
NOW BELONGS TO THE CITY OF
MONTPELIER, and every citizen
should have enough pride in the city
to volunteer a half days time to
work on the clearing of this park site.
Let's get busy.

SHUT OFF THE

debating society as a business insti-

things cannot be DONE"
Golfers says: Prosperity will
not be started by salesman on the
road who lose their own nerve, to
silly rumor, and travel on through
the country leaving behind them a
wake of gloom, depression and lost
confidence.
National prosperity is but the
sum of a lot of little individuals

have weathered deflation without

CHTIlDREN'S
PLAY GROUND

The Gem of the Mountain club is
to be commended upon its activity
in the direction of getting a chill
dren's playground started in Mont
pelfer. The women of the club have
been quietly working ON the project
for some time, and Wednesday night
gave the first function to be given in
the city for the benefit of a play
ground fund for the children of this
city.
That playground is needed in
Montpelier for the Riddles is demon
strated almost every day when bands
of children can be seen on all the
vacant lots in town busily engaged
in their favorite games. The chill
dren are handicapped, however, in
their efforts to enjoy the out-of-
doors on vacant lots for the reason
that their equipment is very meagre,
and in many instances the boys use
homemade ball bats and other con-
trivances in promoting their games.
A children's playground situated
in central location would without
drawing card for children ever I'M
dertaken in this city, and with prop
er equipment, which could be pur-
chased at nominal cost, hundreds
of Riddles would take advantage OF
the opportunity thus afforded, and it
would be the means of attracting
their attention away from some
of the more or less useless pastimes
that now Occupy the time of many
little boys.

Salt Lahel-ApostEe stephen L.
Richards in an address before the
conference of the Church Of Jesus

Tended the Mormon church for its
Participation in commercial enter
prises. He asserted that there had
been considerable criticism on the
ctivities of the church, but declared
that the enterprise had been devel-
.oped to help various communities
which in tuTne opened up numerous
opportunities for advancement to the
men and women of the church.

WHAT ABOUT
CLEANUP DAY?

The Examiner suggested last week
that day be set apart to be observ-
ed in Montpelier as Cleanup Day"
So far nothing has been done to in
augurate such an enterprise, al
though the need is very apparent. A
half holiday and we'll organized
band of workers would raise havoc
with dirt in the public places of
Montpelier. Such a movement would
also stimulate the cleaning of private
premises by the owners, and the re-
suits would be well worth while.
Will some enterprising citizen
start the ball rolling?

Designers have been generous In the
variety of beautiful blouses with
which they welcome summer. Many
Of them are made Of georgette In two
colors like the lovely model shown
above. Nothing equals georgette for
daintiness and 1t remains an unrivaled
favorite whose cause is furthered by
this new arrival. Imagine 1t In navy
blue with neck, sleeves, and peplum

marks the borders in squares and a
little embroidery finds a place On
them. The girdle is of blue ribbon.

For those who are looking for some
thing entirely new, suits like that
shown above are provided In the
spring displays in which capes or
capelike overgarments or blouses with
short close-itting pepltums take the
place of the regulation suit coat. This
new idea has been worked out with
fine success In the model pictured.
