Pat Somerset. an English actor. as
correspondent in his suit for divorce,
appeared before Special Board of
Inquiry at Ellis Island yesterday in an

alleged intimacy of Miss Day and Somer-

named Annie Dunn, dresser for Miss

Z frequently visited Miss Day at a London
hotel where she, Miss Dunn, was
working at the time. Similar depositlons
were submitted from Winifred Holland,

The marital troubles OF Carlton and
his wife have been before the public

WEAVER EXPLAINS DEAL

Special Dispatch TO Every Evening
Chicago, Jan. IA. An echo of the
1919 world series baseball scandal was
heard yesterday when il became known
that George ("Buck') Weaver, for
mer Chicago White Sox third baseman,
personally had appealed TO Judge X.
NJ. Lands for reinstatement in or
ganized baseball. and for the first
time had told baseball official his
version OF the deal through which it
was alleged eight White Sox players
We're bribed by gamblers TO throw

Weaver. il has become known, actu-
ally appeared before Judge lands
last week. but since his appeal was
personal and not formal. nothing was
known of Il publicly. In his plea. the
third baseman reiterated his limo
cence and said he was approached by
White Sox player and offered s10,-
00o if he would join in a plan to throw
games in the world series that fall.
He found himself faced with three
possible courses of action:
/. To accept the bride and help
throw the series.
2. To refuse the bride and tell
Charles A. Comiskey, owner Of the
Sox, OF 1t.
/ 3. To refuse the bride and say
nothing, thus avoiding the odium that
attaches to one who SWITCHES" on q

The third baseman told Judge Lam
dis that while he needed the $4,000
badly In view of his new business en-
terprise, it never entered his head tc
accept it.
1.-THE doubt in my mind" Weaver
is said to have informed the baseball
commissioner, was whether l should
keep quiet about it or tell Mr.. Com
iskey. l was not certain just what
men, If any, had received propositions
or whether they accepted. | couldn't
bring myself to tell on them even had
