STATES STAR WITNESS
 EXONERATES ACCUSED
Says McGannOn is Innocent Won't Tell How
 She Knows.

Cleveland, Feb. 11.-Miss Mary E. Nee1y, star witness for the state in the second trial of Judge Wm. H. McGannon, charged with second de- gree murder for the alleged killing of Harold c. Kagy, on the witness stand for the state this morning said Judge McGannon did not kill KagS and refused to answer any questions.
 Judge McGannon is not guilty of the murder of Harold c. Kagy," she said. "I refuse to answer any ques- tions because in so doing I might dis grace or incrininate myself"
 Efforts on the part of County Prosecutor Stanton to pin Miss Nicely down to her testimony in the first McGannon trial was blocked by ob- jections from defense attorneys which were sustained by the court.
 At the first trial of the judge Miss Nicely testified that she followed the judges automobile to the scene of the staying on the night Kagy was shot She said she saw Judge Mo Cannon, Kagy and John w. Joyce the last named previously acquitted of the shooting of Kagy-leave Me- Gannon's automobile and that few minutes later she ''saw McGannon take something from his pocket. Si- multaneously there was the flash Of a shot and Kagy fell forward"
 Miss Nicely also declared Judge McGannon offered her a bribe to keep her mouth shut and swore she had made an offer to the judge to take the blame for the murder her self s.-4-a. -1ss -. h..

LANDS IS UPHELD IN
 TAKING BASEBALL JOB
Attorney General Palmer Rules He Had Right to
 Accept Position.

Washington. Feb. II. Federal Judge Landis, of Chicago, was within the law. when he accepted the office of supreme baseball arbitrator while still serving on the bench, Attorney Gen. Palmer declared today in a letter to Representative Welty, democrat, Ohio, who had questioned the judges right to hold both positions.
 Mir Welty introduced bill today making it unlawful for any judge to re- ceive compensation for exercising the duties of an arbitrator, commissioner or officer of any corporation. He said that if he could not persuade the house rules committee to give the bill a privileged status he would call it up on the floor.
 After examining the question raised by MT. Welty, who insisted that Judge Landis could not properly accept $42,- 900 year as baseball arbitrator, the attorney general said such acceptance was mot crime, either misdemeanor or felony
 While it might be true,' MT. Palmer said, that the jndge's duty as arbitrator would take so much of his time as to interfere substantially with the performance of his official duties, this of course, would be mat ter to be disposed of when such inter- ference has actually occurred and would probably be an objection on the ground of incompetency, and consid- cred upon that ground alone.'

WANTS CONGRESS TO
 REWARD NAVAL HERO
Representative Eagle of Texas Makes Appeal For
 Lieut.. Edward ISaacS.

Washington. Feb. 11.-A dramatic heroic war exploit of Lieut.. Edward 1saacs. l.. s. N. who stepped forward in anothers place to become a pris- oner aboard a German submarine aft CT his ship, the President Lincoln had been torpedoed, was made today by Representative Eagle, democrat Texas. The speaker said Isaac's rec ord would stand out as one of the daring feats of the world war.
 When the submarine captain de- manded an officer prisoner" said MT. Eagle, "Isaacs walked forth and an- nounced that his commander, Percy w. Foote. now aide to the secretary of the. navy, probably had perished and he was ready to go. For II days while a captive of the U-boat he learned facts about the German navy's plan of operations which were of the fleet"
 With this in mind he escaped at the risk of his life. MT. Eagle con- tinued. and was so badly wounded and beaten that now at the age of 29 he is physically unable to stay in the navy.
 Congress should retire him with the rank of captain, not as heuten- ant" Mir. Eagle added. "so that when he goes out of service it will be ov sufficient pay to buy bread and meat for his wife and children"
