Text of Statement.
The following statement was issued:
1.-The President, at the advice and
recommendation of the attorney gen
eral, transmitted through the secre-
tary of war, declared certain contracts
with the United States Harness com
pany to be null and void.
These contracts were entered into
by the former director of sales, with
the approval of Secretary Baker, and
provided that the large accumulation
of stock of surplus military harness
to the United States Harness company,
to be recOnditiOned and sold or sold in
its original condition upon a profit
sharing basis.
Grounds for Action.
'The grounds for the recommends
ton of the attorney general upon
which the President acted were that
these contracts had been entered into
in violation of sections of the criminal
code prohibiting officers and employees
of the government from having an in
terest in government property or con-
tracts.
'The facts developed by the attorney
general led to the conclusion that these
contracts had been entered into as
result of a conspiracy on the part of
certain former temporary officers of
the army

 BALL PLAYERS
(By United Press)

Chicago, March 26-The Cook coun- ty grand jury today returned IS in- dictments against former Chicago American League players and five against gamblers alleged to have been in the conspiracy which threw the 1919 world series to the Cincinnati Nationals. The general charge against each of the players was conspiracy to obtain money under false pretense through the operation of confidence game which depended upon a system of bets.
 The Black Sox" were first indicted when disclosures of the conspiracy were made to the last Cook county grand jury. States Attorney Grove, however, had the charges dropped for the reason he was unable to prosecute at that time, but declared new in- dictments would be returned and the accused brought to trial.
 In the number of indictments are 13 men indicted on the first batch of bills returned by the grand jury. Five other players were added to the list, which will be made public when service has been had.
