SAY POLICE HELP
Federal Officials Charge Chi
cago Cops Aid-BootIeggers.
Chief FitzmOrris Plans Whole
sale Dismissal in Force.

Chicago. Sept. 26.-Wholesale dis
missal of hundreds of policemen and
the indictment of many doomed today
as the probable outcome of Chief of
Police Charles Fitzmorris' drive to d.
yorce the police department from il
lfcit liquor traffic.
The chief charged, in a sensational
statement made late Saturday. that at
least half of the members of the Chi
cago police force were invilved in
booze deals.
Federal Attorney Has Proof.
United States Attorney Charles F.
Clyne was to present to the chief to-
day evidence gathered by federal pro-
hibition agents involving members of
the police department. Chief Fitz-
morris promised immediate suspension
of ali officers against whom evidence
is presented.
I'VE have evidence against scores of
policemen which we are getting in
shape for the grand jury" Clyne said
today. Il cannot say how many
policemen are involved in liquor deals,
but the number is large"
To Shake Up Whole Force.
As one step in the plan to break up
booze traffic in its department, Chief
Fitzmorris has prepared a sweeping
transfer order shifting the personnel
of the department. Hundreds of Of
ncers and patrolmen are to be as
signed to new duties in new sections
of the city.
Chief Fitzmorris made it plan that
his motive is not a drive to enforce
prohibition laws but to achieve eff
cheney in the police department.
The police. department will not be
efficient until it has been completely
separated from the liquor traffic." the
chief said. IT am going to go the limit
to separate them. No good policeman
is implicated in a booze deal.''
Prohibition enforcement in Chicago
was characterized by Chief Fitzmorris
as a Joke" THAT statement goes"
he said. mot only for the police de-
partment, but for the citizenry. Thou
sands of Chicagons are interested in
violating the prohibition law every
day"
The chief charged that federal off
Gals. thru the liquor permit system,
are responsible for the flood of liquor
in Chicago and asserted the way to
make prohibition an actually is to
stop the liquor at its source"

PRESIDENT TO HAVE n. Y. HOME,
PaIatiaI Suite Planned as Headquar-
tiers in Worlds Greatest Hotel.

New York. Sept. 26.-In spite of the
fact that this city has more great
hotels than any other city in the world.
there has never been a presidential
suite available for the chief executive
when a visitor here. When he ar
rives here the question always arises
at which hotel he will stop and there
have been occasions when his party
was forced to find accommodations in
several hotels, owing to lack of room.
This can never happen after the new
Hotel Commonwealth is built, as it's
plans call for a presidential suite of
the most comfortable and palatial
kind With the intention of making
it as homelike as possible, the archi-
tects have received instructions to de-
sign the suite as an exact copy of the
presidents personal apartments in the
White House. Carrying out this idea,
Mrs. Harding will be asked to use her
own judgment in the furnishings for
the presidential suite, and it is ex-
pected that it will embody every COM
fort and convenience. With more
than $500 rooms, the Hotel Common
wealth will be the largest in the world.

AMERICAN in LEAD
Nationals Won But Six of Six
teen World Series.
Giants Lost to American
LeaguerS Same Score.

New York. Sept. 26.-Champions in
the American league have been vic
torious in ten of the sixteen world
series played since 1905, while the
Naional league pennant winners have
six series to their credit.
Representatives of Greater New
York in the National have been I'M
successful against American league
opponents six times. Not since 1905,
when the Giants won the event from
the Athletics, has a New York Ma
tional team won.
The Giants, pennant winners in 1911.
1919, 1918 could not win the series,
a1tho they were in a hair-breadth of
the worlds championship against the
Red Sox in 1912. Brooklyn has tried
and failed on two occasions.
The Philadelphia Americans made
the smallest numbers of runs in any
series-three. against the Giants in
1908. Once Detroit made but six
against Chicago and the Athletics
made but six against the Boston Ma
tionals. Brooklyn scored only eight
runs against Cleveland last year.
A record of games and runs, begin

GIANTS ARE FAR IN LEAD
Pirates Have Mathematical
Chance, But That Is All.
Tie for National Flag If Pitts.
burghers Take All Games.

New York. Sept. 26.-Yankees and
Indians clash today for the last time
this season.
When the smoke of battle clears
away, the Yankees will either have a
two-game lead and fine chance to
ride thru to the championship or the
American race will be all knotted up
again.
By registering an overwhelming
victory against Cleveland Sunday, the
New Workers gained a full game in
their quest for the gonfalon.
Full Game Lead.
At this stage of the race, a full game
is a big advantage and the Yanks have
a further balance in their favor be-
| cause they have two more games to
play than Cleveland.
With the little world series standing
| two to one in their favor, the men
o'Huggins planned to mop up the
series by winning today's pastime and
Waite Hoyte, the youthful chucker from
| Brooklyn, who tanned the tribe in the
opening game, was expected to pitch
for New York.
Speaker, likewise was expected to
send Stanley Coveleskie, his selection
| in the initial game, back at the Yanks.
It's ''Touch and Co."
If Cleveland wins today's game. the
Yanks still will have a shade the bet
/ ter of the chance to cop the title. In
case of an Indian game today the
Yanks would have to win all their re-
naming six games, If Cleveland should
| take four straight from the White Sox.

If New York makes it three out of

land should win four at Chicago. Hug
ginss boys would have to take four
| out of six to clinch the flag. This
would make the standing:
New York ....................-.9 %
Cleveland .......................9 81
These figures are based on Cleve-
| land winning four straight games
| from the White Sox. a mighty diff
cult task, for the tribe, despite the
fourteen out of eighteen games played
| against Chicago this season. So. it
| can be readily seen that the wind is
| blowing stronger in favor of New
York today.
While the American League rivals
finish their little worlds series, the
| Giants will continue their series at
St. Louis and the Pirates will take on
Philadelphia once again. By winning
from the Cardinals Sunday, New York
drew a step nearer the National
League pennant. McGraw's team now
leads Pittsburgh by three full games.
The Pirates still have a mathemati-
| cal chance to beat New York out, but
that chance is growing simmer each
day. In order to clinch the pennant,
New York must win four of five re-
naming games, but should the Giants
capture only three, Pittsburgh could
get no better than tie by winning all
of their seven remaining games.

Probability of court action by the

in letter made public by Commissioner
Meyers to Representative Oldfield of
Arkansas.
1T seems improbable that criminal
proceedings would be effective" the
letter said "and it does not appear
consonant with sound principles in
the administration of the transporta-
ton act to make our first test in a
doubtful cause" The letter added
that inasmuch as the railroad al
ready had been abandoned injunction
proceedings would now be without
avail.
Representative Oldfield had asked
the commission to take criminal ac-
ton against the road for abandoning
operation of its line without first ask
ing for a certificate of public con-
