Witnesses Too Corrupt, But New
 Indictments Will Be Asked
MORE TIME IS NECESSARY
TechncaliticS and Unreliability of States Witnesses Responsible For FfZzle - PrOSecutOr Insists Men Will Be Brought to Justice.

Chicago. March 1.-The state to- day dropped the cases against all of the Chicago White Sox baseball players indicted for the alleged throwing of the 1919 world series ex- cept Chick Gandil.
 The action was taken after Judge William E. Dever had refused to grant a continuance of more than 60 days in the case. The state demand ed six months on the ground that it would take that length of time to gather evidence which would give the prosection a chance of convic- tion.
 New Action Later.
 Immediately after the action had been taken. Robert E. Grove. states attorney announced that an attempt would be made to gather new ~vi- denoe and that new indictments would be sought against the men. The players whose cases were dropped were those who had surrendered and given bail, namely Claud Williams. Joe Jackson, Oscar Felsch, Swede Risberg, Eddie Cicotte, Buck Weaver and Fred McMullin.
 Other Gases Dropped.
 The cases of Gandil, Hal Chase, Rachel Brown, Joseph J. Sullivan. Abe Astell and Bill Burns were stricken off the court call by Judge Dever. They were charged with being the men who arranged the aI-- legged conspiracy. Taking the cases off the call prevents calling them up again for six months.
 MT. Grove, in his announcement that the cases were dropped, said that he was convinced that a crime had been committed, but that cor ruption of the states principal wit nesses made it impossible to go on with the case.
 Players Are Corrupt
 "Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte and C1aud Williams. the men who con fessed to the grand jury have been corrupted" he declared.
 With their evidence available we would have clean cut case against these men and be sure of obtaining con ictfons. Without their evidence our case is hopeless.
 This case is not finished, however and these men have not escaped punishment. We are going right after the evidence that will convict and we know where to get, it.
 When this evidence has been pro- cured shall personally go before the grand jury and seek new indict- ments. And there will be no mis- takes next time."

SIMONS SUES FOX'S
 FOR $500 DAMAGES
Taxpayers Asso. Alleges Damages in Complaint
 to That Amount.

Suit has been brought by Presid ent Isadore Simons of the New Britain Taxpayers Protective association against the William Fox Theater cor poration for $500 damages alleged to have been caused by Manager F. G. Carney's refusal to allow Mir. Simons to carry out his plans for last Sun days protest meeting in their en- tirety. MT. Simons alleges that he expended $100 for signs. the nature of which was the cause of consider able comment during the past week. but Mir. Carney refused to allow the banners to be hung in the theater. About two dozen American flags had also been procured, he claims. which were also laid aside on account of the decree Of the management. In ad- dition. MT. Simons had received a bill for s46 from stage hands for work which they were hired to do. that of hanging the flags and banners, but which they were unable to do on ac- count of the order of the manager. These facts were furnished by MT. Simons to Lawyer David l.. Nair this afternoon and the attorney will serve the writ today.
 The action of the Taxpayers asso- citation head followed the presenta- ton by Lawyer Elias T. Ringrose of bill from the stage hands for s46 for their services Sunday afternoon. The workmen reported to the police yesterday that MT. Simons had re- fused to pay them and they were ad- vised to place their case in the hands Of m attorney.
 Mir. Simons alleges a breach in contract in the fact that he was never given the keys of the house nor was the theater at any time in his posses sion or under his direction. When he went to Fox's Sunday afternoon, he says. he found Chief of Police W. J. Rawlings and about a score of po- liccmen in charge. The police had control of the house throughout the day. he claims. whereas he was called upon to pay the, bills.

HamOn Trial DragS, as Defense
 Has to Submit its Pleas
ANALYZE MATEWAN KILLINGS
Against Miners Unions But Against Men Who Committed Act of Mur- dcrs-Juries Waiting to Get all Evi-

Ardmore, Okla, March 17.-An eff fort of the defense to waive its right of argument and have the case of Clara Smith Hamon on trial charged with the murder of Jake L. Hamon, go immediately to the jury. was ruled out by Judge Thomas w. Champion this morning and defense counsel began its plea for acquittal of the defendant.
 Joe Ben Champion. twin brother of the judge. opened for the defense.
 Goes to Jury Late
 With the announced plans of both state and defense, it appeared that most of the day would be taken up with arguments and the case be given to the jury late in the afternoon.
 James H. Mathers, county attorney for Carter county, who was retained for Clara Hamon before he assumed office, was to follow Mir. Champion and Mir. Mclean was to make the de- fense's close. after which Attorney Gen. Freeing will sum up for tho state.
 The attorneys spoke without time limit. again to five hours for each side having been abrogated.
 MT. Champion in opening. said the case had been delayed by the state. and referred to the speech of H. H. BrOWn, SpeC1ai prosecutor iot HfhN- ing touched on the evidence.
 "Poor Innocent Gir1'
 He referred to the participation in the case of Attorney Gen. Freeling as "a high state official sent down here to prosecute a poor. innocent country girl for shooting a million aire."
 When Jake Hamon met her." Champion said. "She was a brown eyed girl: when he lured. coaxed, wooed and won, he was a powerful lawyer of 40 years, a master mind.
 He took her, an innocent country girl, educated her, sent her to college, not that she might serve him as a stenographer. but that finally in the end she might yield to his brutal pas sions."
 Makes Startling Charge
 l.. c. Mullen, a friend of Jake Hamon who sat near Champion, leaned over and taking the attorneys arm, tried to stop him when he re- fered to J. s. Mullen. his brother. as having been one who "countenanced ten years of open and notorious adultery in the life of Jake Hamon."

 New York, March 1.-The masa- zine Soviet Russia today made public a wireless dispatch signed by George Tchitcherin commissioner of foreign affairs in Moscow asserting that the Kronstadt rebellion was daily chang ing in favor of the soviet forces.
 The message dated March fl. which the ma agazine said had been received via Christiania. continued:
 Our deliberate action corresponds to a strictly predetermined plan to necessary bloodshed. Our actions against kronstadt are rather of a demonstrative character.
 Information which we received confirms previous reports of the con- sl;tnt disntegration of the Kronstadt garrison. The feeling at Moscow and Pe,rograd, as everywhere else, is quiet and fully confident or a speedy end of the adventure.
 The unprecedented campaign of lies in the European press deserves at tention It was a real orgy of daily falsehoods and fantastic stories. AL legged risings have been reported in at least a dozen town where in reality complete quiet prevails.
 This campaign of lies is obviously a pre-concerted plan. Such an attack is form of aggression against soviet Russia. It is necessary for us to indi- cate the responsibility of foreign gov ernments for this cam paign which evil planned by an invisible center with out. w econsider 1t a hostile act"
