HEAR REBUTTAl WITNESSES
IN BASEBALL TRIAL
Felsch Called to Milwaukee by
Death OF HIS Father

Chicago, July 20.-The baseball trial
resumed today with the State preparing
hasty list of rebuttal witnesses after
the sudden move of the defense yestcr
day in resting its case with nearly u
score of witnesses vet to be examined

which followed testimony Of White Sox
play ers, that tended to refutc the state
ments of Bill Burns, star State witness
concerning the former Sox players on
trial for conspiring to throw the 1919
world series. left future action on both
sides matter OF conjecture, but seemed
to assure speedy ending of the trial,
with the case probably going to the
jury Saturday night or Monday.
Happy" Felsch, former White Sox
center fielder and one Of the defendants,
was not present when the case was re-
sumed. He was called to Milwaukee by
the death of his father, Judge Friend
excusing him from the court room.
Alfred Austrian. attorney for the
Chicago American Lengue Baseball
Club was the first witness summoned
in rebuttal. Joe Gedcon, it was an
nounced, would be the second If he
arrived in time to testify, and a news
paper reporter, to whom Fclsch is al
legged to have confessed, will be the
third and probably last witness for the
State.

BRITAIN REBUFFS
FRANCE. ON S|LES|A
English Note Called "Concilia-
tory" but It Disparages Pro-
posed Independent Action
BRAND RECEIVES ANSWER
BY the Associated Press

London. July 29.--Great Britain's
note to France regarding the Silesinn
problem. dispatched last night and de-
livered in Paris this morning, recapitu-
lntes the circumstances which led to
the present situation and refutes the
allegation that Great Britain had set
herself against the French and was
thereby strengthening the German atti-
tude.
Officials describe the note ms of n
friendly character, In "marked con-
trast to the attitude displayed. in the
French note" to which II Is a reply.
Grcat Britain, officials declared, Is still
anxious to consider any means by which
the French can be met, but 1t is en-
phasizcd that according to the news
being received in London there Is no
danger threatening the French troops in
Silesia which renders the sending OF
re endorsements urgently necessary, as
the French have claimed.
The note calls attention to what Is
described as "the extraordinary action
on the part Of France in endcavoring
to act independently of the Supreme
Council in insisting upon the immediate
dispatch of troops. 1t points out that
this is nm impossible basis upon which
to pursue any future policy together,
and that no good purpose would be
served by further discussions until there
was clear understanding of France s
intentions.
The note further expresses the view
of the British Government that 1t
''would fnin not believe that the
French note represented the considered
operation Of the French Government.
Paris, July 20.-(By \. P.)--Great
Rritain's reply to the latest French
note on the Upper Silesian question III
which divergencies still exist between
the two nations as to the procedure to
be adoptcd in dealing with the prob
lem, notably as to the sending OF re-
endorsements to the area. was delivered
Mt the Foreign Office today by Lord
Hardinge, the British Ambassador. An
hours conversation between LORD
Hardinge and Premier BRAND ensued,
after which the Premier joined his col
leagues in the Cabinet meeting then
in progress.
IT was announced after the Cabinet
adjourned that Premier BRAND had ar
rived too late to go into the Silesian
question at this session and that the
CABINET WOulu llcet usulu at .oo
o'clock to consider the British reply.
As to the contents of the note, it was
said in an authoritative quarter. that
although the tone Of the communication
was conciliatory it did not appear that
in it the British Government had made
any sensible progress toward reaching
the French viewpoint. The communi-
cation expressed desire to find So
luton acceptable to France, it was
said. but maintained Great Britain's
opposition to the sending Of re-enforce-
mcnts to Silesia before the meeting Of
the Supreme Council August 4.
Nevertheless, it was added, the note
does not bar the way TO further dis
cussOns and admits of the hope that
the finding of a solution acceptable to
both France and Great Britain will be
possible.
