 "Hyman Hushel, Ruth's attorney, said we had offered to settle," Fein- berg said. That's not the truth. He said also Babe had told me to go to hell. That's a lie, too. He didn't threaten me. If he had told me to go to hell or threatened me I'd have smashed him in the face"
 He said he would probably permit Miss Dixon to give out statement today.

RUTH DEFIANT ON
 GIRLS ACCUSATION
Her Lawyer However, Claims to Have Proof of Charges

"I don't know her--neyer met her: wouldn't give 50 cents to settle her $50,000 damage suit"
 "Babe Ruth does not know Dolores Dixon-.he took her riding often. He invited her to visit him in Washing ton. but she didn't go. have wit nesses to prove he was friendly with her"
 The first statement was made yes tcrday by Babe Ruth in New Orleans: the second by George Feinberg. at torney, who insisted he would file a complaint in the supreme court ask ing $5O,000 damages for Miss Dixon on the ground that he is father of her expected child.
 There the case stood yesterday. No formal papers had been filed. Miss Dixon, said to be 19, with chestnut hair and a comedy childish face was in hiding. Feinberg refused to tell here whereabouts
 She is believed to be living with Gustave Escoe. a city employe and his wife, Barbara Escoe, her guardian ad item, with whom she lived for year in an expensive apartment at 583 Riverside Drive. They moved two weeks ago, leaving no forwarding ad- dress.
 Known on East Side
 They know about Miss Dixon in the squalid tenement district near APO East Eighth street. where Escoe used to live. Escoe's father lives there. His name is EtzkowitZ. Escoe has his name changed in 1913. Escoe refused yes te-day to say where he is living now. His salary is $1,52j year, q sum about equal to the rent of the furnished apartment he occupied on Riverside Drive.
 He said he had known Miss Dixon two years. Who was she?
 Oh" he said. Babe Ruth knows her. She has it on him and several others. The others? Well, Ruth is not the only ball player who is going to be brought into the case"
 Escoe is small of statue with a pugilist's cast of face. He refused to answer any questions about Miss Dix on.
 She was frequent visitor at the Polo Grounds when the Yankees were playing" was all he would say.
 Miss Dixon's lawyer was hardly les. secretive. He displayed only the brie complaint he said he would file to- day, charging his client had been at 1 tackled several times last July ant August by Ruth.
 In fact. the only papers on file al all now are proceedings in which Jus tlce Faber, in Brooklyn, appointed Mrs Escoe guardian Of the girl These were to permit the girl to bring an action for damages against Herman C. Ruth" Babes full name is George Herman Ruth.
 Freeport Episode Charged.
 These papers set forth that she sus- tained damages by reason of being seduced by one Herman c. Ruth in the vicinity of Freeport, l. l., and New York City" Freeport police said no report of assault had been made to them. Ruth was in Freeport last July as an attraction of the Lights Club Circus. Miss Dixon is not known in Freeport.

Magnus Hurr;es Home

M AGNVs JOHNSON has disappointed
IVI the New York Communists beyond
expression. They seem to have taken
his campaign speeches seriously, and on his
arrival in the big city rallied enthusiastically
around his headquarters with all sorts of
slogans. They also brought a flag that bore
no resemblance to the Stars and Stripes.
THE Last of the Vikings" was clearly sur
prtsed to see them, and distinctly ANNOYED.
He foresaw the printed word decorating his
senatorial name, and heard the American
horselaugh echoing from Kennebeck to the
Rio Grande. His address was one of the
shortest ever delivered by an American
statesman and least noisy. 1t was a plying
smile and q backward wave of the hand,
which dramatic critics usually construe to
mean, NAY, nay! Pauline!"
When will these alien Quixotes learn the
American politician? So far as Magnus is
concerned, the revolution is over. His it is,
from now on, to placate with place and
promise, the opposition and this opposition
includes the very ones whom the Com
munists want him to assault under the bon
ny black flag. Nothing doing! Magnus, in
stead, exchanged the other half of his trip
ticket for seat in train bound for Mime
sofa.
