SWARTzEL WINS
$4,000 JUDGMENT
Monet Man Wins Suit for Damages
Against Frisco Railroad on Malic-
iOus Prosecution Charge.

The trial of Walter Swartzel
against the Frisco Railway Company
has been on trial two days in the
Dade County Circuit Court at Green
field, Missouri. Sizer d Gardner, his
attorneys, returned from Greenfield
Wednesday night and report victory
for their client, Mr.. Swartzel, they
having won the malicious prosecution
suit brought by Mr.. Swartzel against
the Frisco Railway Company, and the
jury having brought in a verdict
awarding Mr.. Swartzel $4,000
damages.
This is the final vindication of Mr..
Swartzel, who was accused two years
ago of having stolen some shoes from
a certain box car, which the detectives
claimed they had placed in a car and
were watching Swartzel to see if he
would take them. Mr.. Swartzel was
acquitted in the preliminary hearing
at Monett in May, 1920; then the
Company took the matter up with the
Federal authorities, and had Mr..
Swartzel indicted before the Federal
Grand Jury at Joplin. He was duly
acquitted by a jury in the Federal
Court, and then the present suit was
brought for damages against the Rail
road Company for alleged unlawful
accusations and malicious prosecution
of Swartzel.
The trial was hotly contested and
was on for two days at Greenfield.
Sizer & Gardner represented Mr..
Swartzel and Mann & Mann Of
Springfield, and Ben Neaie of Green
field represented the Railroad Com
pany. E. E. Mcclure, Superintendent
of Terminals, and the claim agents
and detectives were in charge of pro-
curing the evidence for the Railroad
Company. A great many employees
testified on both sides, but the jury
was out but short while when they
returned verdict vindicating Mr..
Sw alszel, and giving him a judgment
for $4,000

ASSEMBLY GROUNDS
TO FAYETTEVILLE.
Methodist Church, South, Commits
siopers Select Arkansas
Town.

Fayetteville, Ark, yesterday was
named the site for the assembly
grounds of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, according to mes
sage received by the Joplin Globe last
night from Fort Smith, Arkansas,
where the selection was made today.
According to the message, Fayette-
vile was chosen unanimously by
members of the commission over Neo-
sho and Rogers, Ark, the other two
towns which were considered to the
last. When the proposal first was
launched last summer, sixteen cities
and towns were considered, including
Joplin, but the list finally simmered
down to those three.
The fact that Fayetteville was
named as the site for the grounds, it
was declared here last night, means
a wonderful asset to the Ozark Play
grounds Association. The project
will take in South Methodist churches
of five states-Missouri, Arkansas,
Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana. The
combined membership of the churches
in those states is estimated fat 100000
1t is estimated that each year will
see at least 10000 to 10000 persons
going to the assembly grounds for
various purposes, thus enlarging, in
one sense the tourist population of
the Ozark Fairgrounds.

Back Of the motors humming, back of
the bells that ring,
Back OF the hammers drumming,

There is the mind that plans them,
back Of the Drawn, the brain,
Might Of the roaring boiler, force OF

Strength OF the sweating toiler, great

SALE Of JERSEY
CLUB BALANCES
INT. LEAGUE
"Skeeters" Too Near New
York to Draw Well, Opinion
in Baseball Circles.

The sale OF the Jersey City club
and transfer Of the franchise to
Providence would give the Interna.
tional League better balance. Jer-
sey City is too near New York to
be a good ball town, but interest
in the team has been killed by
years in the second division. Il
has been nearly fifteen years since
Jersey City had a first division
team, and the fans deserve credit
for sticking with the team as long
as they did.
In baseball, as in other lines Of
business, It is necessary to spend
money to make money. A rundown
ball team. merely representing a
franchise, will not draw either ut
home or on the road. -.
