 Weaver called at Judge Iandis' of fee a week ago last Friday. He laid his case in full before the Judge, T. was the first time any of the so-caIled Black Sox," had the temerity to ap- pear before the famed jurist.
 Weaver had always contended he was innocent. that he was the goat He was the only defendant who an- nounced imn edia tely after the trial that he would attempt to get back into organized baseball. His explanatio OF since the trial, of his failure to take the stand in his defense and reveal how he was the goat as claimed was that he was not permitted co do so by his lawyers who were also at torneys for others of the players.
 At Commissioner Landis' office 1t was stated that Jay Cannon of Mil waukee, attorney for Oscar (sHappy') F'eIsch, and incidentally, attorney for Jack Dempsey, had not called to see the judge, as reported he would do, with reference to an effort on FeIsch's part to collect s1, 300 he alleges is due him from the White Sox for past ser vices.

26 NOW TOTAL OF SMALL FOX
 CASES IN CITY

Two Bridgeport families have now developed Il cases of small pox and have been removed to the Englewood hospital. In one family there are six members i'll and in the other, five children have the disease.
 This makes in all 26 definite cases of the disease and several suspects. One new suspect is that of @ high school girl.
 With the spread of the disease, local manufacturers and other agencies are offering their cooperation to the Board of Health. The Manufacturers Association is holding 8 special meet ing of it's advisory committee this afternoon to decide upon some definite policy of cooperation with the Board the disease. It is understood that several local factories on their own initiative are issuing special orders to employees regarding vaccination. Board of Health, has also offered the heartiest cooperation of that board to the local Board of Health Commis- SiOners.
 Vaccination in all the schools of Bridgeport in which it has not been previously done. will begin on Mon- day, a number of physicians being temporarily employed by the Board of Health, which Is cooperating with the local board. is sending 10000 points for vaccination among the school children.
 As per cent. of all the cases so far diagnosed as smallpox have been among the school children of the city, Dr. William Hall Coon, Health Officer, said today that he expected to have the smallpox situation under control as soon as the vaccination of all school children is completed. This is unless the disease takes new turn and shifts over to the adult popula- ton of the city, a thing which it has sometimes been known to do.
 As several of the parochial schools have requested that they be included in the vaccination, children there will also be vaccinated next week.
 All cases so far are still very mild and the first cases removed to the hospital are now practically well and will be released as soon as all traces Of the eruptions have disappeared.

Believes Act Will Cement Friendship Between Two Nations
Release of Prisoners Will Begin At Once-Women Pledge Allegiance To Republic = Griffith Starts Machinery Of New Government First Meeting Of Provisional Parliament To Be Held Saturday.

London, Jan. 12-(By the A. P.)-i King George has granted general ann nesty in respect to political offense committed in Ireland prior to the operation of the truce last July it. was announced today. The release Of prisoners will begin at once
 The text of the proclamation, which was issued by. Winston Churchill. Secretary for the Colonies, reads:
 The King has been pleased at the moment when tho Provisional Irish government is due to take office, to grant general amnesty with respect from political motives prior to the operation of the truce, July II, last
 The release of the prisoners tos forthwith.

 Dublin. Jan. 12.-Leaders- Of the Sim Fein faction opposing the peace treaty have been summoned for today by Eamon DeValera- deposed presi- dent of the Dail Eireann, to consider the general situation growing out of the ratification of the treaty. Mean while Arthur Griffith, the new pres Ident, has started the machinery of his provisional government, one of his first acts being to summon the South Ireland parliament for a meet ing on Saturday for the purpose of formally passing upon the treaty This formal ratification is Specifically provided for in the pact
 To Ignore Meeting.
 MT. DeValera has stated that he will ignore the meeting ,on Saturday and believed his followers will do likewise: The supporters of MT. Grif- filth believe that this assures unani- nous approval of the treaty by the remaining members, with the added votes of the four Union1st members for Dublin University.
 The British authorities have bee11n their evacuation from Dublin Castle and announcement of the release of the Irish political prisoners Is expect ed at any time. In addition prepara- tions for the withdrawal of British military forces are understood to be going forward. All these develop ments are construed as strengthening the position of the new Irish govern ment.
 Many Prophets Of Evil
 While Griffith and his colleagues are going ahead with their plans there is no lack of the prophets of evil, ready to emphasize the pitfalls sur rounding their task-such as the Re- publican opposition, the technical flle- gality of any act of the provisional government until the treaty is for ma1ly ratified both in Ireland and in England, the alleged bitter hostility of a large section of the Irish Repub- ican army, and similar issues.

MILK DEALERS
 ASSOCIATION
 RESENTS GUT
Small Dealer Imperilled, Says Local Treasurer Will Fight Against Heavy Rate Cutting.

The milk war which has produced heavy rate cutting is much resented by the Bridgeport Milk Dealers as- sociation, which has 90 members. The association retails milk from house to house. Some of the memS hers produce the milk themselves and some buy it of farmers.
 Joseph Dewhirst, manager of the Dewhirst Dairy, Is treasurer of the association. He said today: '1 think the people of Bridgeport ought to know that the milk reduction comes from the big companies. own ed by outside capital. and that they are for the purpose Of putting the small dealers out Of business. There has been but trifing reduction in tho cost of milk at the source. The rate will not stand a three per cent. cut and let the smaller dealers live.
 ''This will happen if this drive against the small dealer Is success full. All of these will be put out of business and when the job Is done the outside men who own the big higher than they ever were. In the long run it is the firm opinion of our association that the public will suffer. The small dealer provides He is the best friend of the public. Cutting rates to beat the small men out of the business is not a new game. It Is an old one which has been practfced suc- cessful1y on many occasions. The small dealers of Bridgeport will fight. They sell 3o,o0o quarts a day, and they want the right to live. the same as other men.

Three others, who had less important connections with the af- fair, are being held under small bonds.
 It was said today that the case is practically closed as far as the Bridgeport angle is concerned, w-th he exception of the trials which are the special government agents who were in this city, left last night for parts unknown.
