pied White Sox team from a northern
hunting trip revived gossip today con-
corning the lineup of the American
league club for the coming season.
Optimistic statements came from
the "old Roman" over the teams pros
poets despite inability to buy or trade
for good players from other major
league teams. At least two of the
teams recruits, Comiskey declared,
are ready for regular berths.
One is Johnny Mostil. star outfield,
last year on the Milwaukee American
association team. who is backed by
Catcher Ray Schalk for lead off man
il the batting order.
The other is Earl Sheely, heavy hit
ting coast league first baseman. Err
ME johnson, coast league shortstop,
with better than a 800 batting aver
age last year. is also said to be ready
for a White Sox debut, to fill another

st. Louis, Jan. 7-Another new
record has been created in the history
of baseball finance by the report from
Houston, Tex, last night quoting
Branch Hickey, manager of the ST
Louis Nationals as stating the club
had received a bona fide offer OF
100000 and four players for Roger
Hornsby, Cardinal second baseman
and champion hitter OF the National
League.
This figure more than doubles the
reported purchase price given by the
New York Yankees for Babe Ruth
in a deal which was conceded to put
ices and is just twice the size of the
offer made by. the New York Nation
ais for Hornsby early last season.
$15O,OOO First Offer.
At that time, according to a formal
statement issued by President Samuel
Breadon of the Cardinals, the Giants
offered s150,000 and two players in

to 100000 according to Breadon's
statement which, it was explained,

ball circles after the close of the sea-

Francis x McQuade, treasurer of the

100000 and four players has been
met by President Breadon with the
reply the club would consider it If
one of the four players were Frank
Frisch. The New York club would
not entertain such proposition,
Judge McQuade said.
Concurrently with this offer, 1t was
reported Hornsby was to figure in a
five-team trade between Boston, Phil
adelphia, New York, Cincinnati and
ST. Louis, but Cardinal officials assert
ed no proposition of this nature was
being considered. Hornsby, who is in
insurance business here, stated recent
ly he had no desire toschange clubs
and would prefer to stay in St Louis.
Hornsby hit $40 during the past sea-
son and tho ranking ninth amor seq

Divine Healer Works
Many Miracles in

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 22.-
Brother Isaiah, the seir-styled divine
healer, left Friday night for New
Orleans, after several days in Jack
sonville, healing the halt, lame and
blind. The seventy-four-year
miracle man treated many afflict-
ed people, who declare that they are

to walk without crutches for ten
years, walked off the platform in
Confederate Park tabernacle yester-
day, and following treatment a child

him by a spectator.
Brother Isaiah performed the feats
before thousands of onlookers, and
worked for approximately thirty
hours with very little food, and
practically no rest, standing always
in the same position. His brow is
unwrinkled in spite of his years,
and there was absolutely no show
of fatigue. People from throughout
Florida and the southern part of

1t is understood that the healer

Seriousness Of Silesian
Situation Is Stressed
In Note by French

LONDON, May 21.-(By the Asso-

today presented a note to the British
foreign office, pointing out the Sc
robustness of the Upper Silesian sit
uation. in view of the persistent at
titude of the German corps, which,
it is declared, is being constantly re-
inforced. the Bolshevik tendencies of
the workers, and the difficulty of in
tervening between the Poles and the
Germans.
The note says it therefore is nee
essary to make joint representations
to Germany to urge her ito put into
execution the measures she had an
nounced" and invites Baron D'Aber-
non, British ambassador to Germany
to support the steps taken by the
French ambassador to Germany.

M Laurent recently requested
Chancellor Wirth to take steps to
prevent the dispatch of war material
or the organization and transport of
volunteers into Upper Silesia.
1t is stated in French quarters
here that 10000 armed Germans have
entered the disputed Silesian terri
tory.

MAN WHO FASTENED BELL
ON FAMOUS BELLED BUZZARD
FOUND BY THE TRL- WEEKLY
BY o. B. KELLER

The Journal certainly does cover
Dixie like the dew" If you want to
find anything out, inquire about it in
The Journal. Even to who belled the
Belled Buzzard. There is only one
point left uncleared up in the mat
ter of the Belled Buzzard. That is,
what was he belled for?
Last Sunday The Journal and then
The Tri-Weekly, carried a modest
account of a number of persons see
ing belled buzzard, and hearing his
bell, at a point near Ben Hill, Ga,
known as Niskey's Lake.
Comes now letter from c. J. Car
penter, of Grand Ridge, Fla. and he
says he belled the buzzard-belled
him in 1906, which was fifteen years
ago; belled him when he was a lit
tie buzzardlet, or buzzardling, or
whatever is the diminutive of buzz
zard.
Buzzard' in The Tri-Weekly," writes
Mr.. Carpenter. 81 am the man that
put the bell on the buzzard. L belled
him in 1906, after 1 found him near
Lake Acheree, when he was about
half grown. 1 put a small brass bell
on him, and anyone desiring to write
me about it can address me at Grand
Ridge"
Irwin Cobb or somebody wrote a
story in a magazine some years ago
called THE Belled BuZzard," and the
fowl has figured in print and epis-
tolary correspondence and verbal mar
ratlVe for many years. This state
clear everything up satisfactorily
except on one point:
Why did he bell the Belled Buzz
gard?

ST|LLMAN DIVORCE
settlement NEAR.
PAPER DECLARES

NEW YORK, May 29.-Settlement
of the divorce suit brought by
James A. Stillman, millionaire bank
er, against Mrs. Anne U. Stillman,
involving recognition of the legiti-
macy of the infant, Guy Stillman,
has been sought by Mrs. Stillman's
attorneys, the New York Times an
nounces in it's Sunday edition.
The terms of the settlement are
still under negotiation, the news
paper states. They provide for a
separation agreement between Mr..
and Mrs. Stillman whereby she is
granted yearly allowance of $780,
600, the abandonment of the divorce
proceedings and recognition of the
child's legitimacy
All of the attorneys in the case
who could be reached tonight declin-
ed to discuss the reported settlement,
but none of them would deny it.
Hearings in the case were to have
been held June 1 and 2, after having
been twice postponed. The settle
ment negotiations are reported to
nave caused the poStponements.
The divorce proceedings were be-
gun in the summer of 1920, Mrs.
Stillman having been served with a
copy of the summons as she was
about to sail for Europe on the
Steamship Olympic on, July 8: 1920.
The, complaint charged her with in
fidelity and attacked the legitimacy
of her oungest son, Guy, who was
born in November, 1918.
Fred BeauvaiS, a half-breed Indian
guide, who had been employed at the
St1llman summer camp near Three
Rivers. Quebec. was named as father
of the child.
Immediately after the papers in
the case were served, they were filed
in the Tillage of Carmel, New York
the remote Putnam county seat,
where they reposed in the files for
several months. Some time later,
was named as referee in the case
and he subsequently heard testimony
at several secret hearings.
Later John E. Mack, also of
Poughkeepsie, was named as guar
dian ad Item for the child, Guy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stillman lived apart
after the papers were filed, but the
case did not become public until
March of this year, when counsel in
the case appeared before Supreme
Court Justice Morschauser at White
Plains with a petition to file an
olilSlluSu answer III the case ana TO
ask for counsel fees.
This amended answer, which set up
an affirmative defense, denied all the
allegations of Mr.. Stillman and set
forth that he was guilty of infidelity,
naming Mrs. Florence II. Leeds,
former Broadway chorus girl, as CO.
respondent. 1t also accused the bank
er of having lived with Mrs. Leeds
under an assumed name and of being
the father of her infant son, Jay,
who was born in September, 1918.
Pending a settlement of the suit,
Justice Morschauser allowed Mrs.
Stillman counsel fees of $4,000; ex-
penses, $12,500, and alimony of $500
a month.
Rumors of settlement have been
current ever since Mrs. Stillman filed
her counter charges, but previously
one side or the other always denied
them and announced it's determina-
ton of carrying the case to a finish.

i. 6. DEFICIT MAY
FREE DOOTLEGGERS

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Thou-
sands of bootleggers may escape
punishment for violation of the
liquor laws as a result of the fur
Tough of 100 federal prohibition
agents until July 1. Commissioner
Kramer declared tonight. In any
event, he added many of the cases
will have to be continued over the
forty days, which will add to the
congestion of already crowded court
dockets.
Most Of the governments impor-
tant witnesses in the liquor cases
now before the courts, Mr.. Kramer
ed up the evidence against the de-
PENDANTS. Most of these men, he
said, would return to their homes,
making it necessary. either to
subpoenae them and pay their way
to their places of trial or continue
the cases.
At present, Mr.. Kramer said, it
lis too soon to guage the effect on the
Illegal liquor traffic which may result
from the loss of 700 agents for
forty days, because of the lack of
funds to pay their salaries; How,
hurt the prohibition enforcement
unit in every way and set back if not
undo the work done in organizing
the force.
Millions have been lost" he said,
Gin an attempt to save a few hun
dred thousand dollars"
Mr. Kramer said he could not
prophecy whether there would be
greater bootlegging activity over the
country during the forty-day lay-off
of most of the government agents,
but he indicated that he expected
some increase of laWleSSneSS
AS far as real whisky is concern
ed, Mr.. Kramer said, the supply in
the country could be controlled at the
sources by restrictions on withdraw
ais from warehouses, and that any
trouble to be expected would come
from struggled liquors and the use
of alcohol, diverted to illegal pur-
