 Attorney Henry A. Berger, counsel for the defense, has asked the issu. ance of subpoenas for every player who was a member. of the White Sox in the 1919 world series. This the team and several other players who have since been transferred to other teams.
 It is also certain that subpoenas will be asked for every member Of the Cincinnati outfit and for the four umpires who worked in the world series and if services cannot be obtained upon them within the jurisdiction of the court, Federal Judge K. M. Landis, High Commis sioner of baseball, will be appealed to in order to secure the attendance in court of the players.
 The men for whom subpoenas have already been issued for are Ray Schalk, Sox catcher; Bird Lynn, now with Salt Lake; Joe Jenkins, now with Salt Lake; William Kid" Glea son, Sox. m(hager; Urban Red, Fa Der, Sox pitcher; Harry Liebold Boston; Eddie Murphy, Columbus John Collins.

 That the White Sox players who agreed to throw the world series for $100,000 became sick of the deal when not paid the bribes promised was part of the evidence of Burns this afternoon.
 The witness said that before the third game was played the men de. cided to play their best and win.
 Burns said: We doubled crossed the gamblers by winning the third game 3 to 0.

GOVERNOR PLANS INTERIOR VISIT;
 TO DEPART SOON
May Leave Sunday Will Make No Appointments
 Until After His Return.

Plans for a hurried visit to the Westward coast towns and Interior Alaska are being considered today by Governor Scott c. Bone. "It Is possible that I may get away Sunday for a 15-day trip that will take me as far into the Interior as Fair. banks" said the Governor.
 The postponement of the trip of Secretaries Fall and Denby until September, he stated, was factor in the decision to make the Fair banks trip. Owing to the lateness of the visit of the secretaries to the Territory, it is not believed that they will have time to go fur ther than the Government Railroad districts north of Anchorage and as the Governor earnestly desires to meet as many Alaskans as possible this summer. he plans to make the proposed visit and return to Juneau before the cabinet party arrives from the South.
 tentative itinerary has been mapped out by Governor Bone. but it is not definitely determined. It includes short stops at Cordova. Val.

RUSTCARD AND SMITH DECIDE
 BRIGGS CROOKED
Dishonesty Imputed by Smith Against Former Cover
 nor-Assails Sommers. JENNINGS DECLINES TO TRANSFER CASE JUNEAU Testimony of Smith Continues Today-Jennings Over
 rules All Objections.
Special to The Empire.

KETCHIKAN, As, July 20.-- Charges of dishonesty on the part of former Governor Thomas Riggs and general arraignment of both the former Governor and R. J. Som mers. Secretary of Alaska, and all Democrats generally, were hign spots in the testimony of Walsteln c. Smith, Territorial Treasurer. in the proceedings for contempt of court against himself and John ,Rustgard, now in progress in the U. s. District Court. before Judge R. w. Jennings.
 Mir Smiths testimony was not completed yesterday and he went back on the stand again this morn ing,
 Rustgard will probably follow and indications are that the case will take at least all of today.
 Motions Denied
 The contempt case was taken up at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Rustgard submitted a number of mo. tions to quash on the ground that the court has no jurisdiction over defendants and that the alleged of fense does not constitute contempt All of these were overruled by the court. On instructions from the At torney General of the United tSates, District Attorney Smiser entered a motion to transfer the case to Jul neau. Judge Jennings denied the motion, stating that the defendants are now in Ketchikan, could not re- turn to Juneau for several days, and therefore no delay would be occa stoned to Territorial business by proceeding with the case, which was ordered.
 MaItby First Witness
 A. F.. Maltby, attorney appearing for the Attorney General in the Sheelor case, out of which the con. tempt proceedings have arisen, was the first witness. His testimony re- lated to information had by defend ants as to intentions of court to transfer the Sneelor case % Juneau.
 Smith Objects to Testifyine
 Treasurer Smith was called to the stand following Mir Maltby's testi. mony. Through MT. Rustgard. he ob- jected to taking the stand on the grounds of the constitutional right that he could not be compelled to testify against himself. which ob- jection the court oyerruled, holding that a contempt case is different from criminal action.
 .It Alleges crookedness
 MT. Smith then recited the his tory of the Sheelor. case. He said that he and Rustgard discussed this and other matters and both had agreed that Governor Riggs was crooked and dishonest. He further testified that then Governor Riggs tried to get him to pay bill of The Empire Printing Companys for print ing the report of the Attorney Gen eral. which he said was illegal He stated that Judge Jennings. the for mer Governor, John w. Troy and Dr L. O. Sloane are all so closely allied he believed that Judge Jenninl would favor Riggs. He declared tha' he had heard that Judge Jennings i' interested in The Empire.
 The court permitted him to put al of this testimony in the record with out any objection. The hearing fl still in progress today.
