Chicago.-Real friends and sup
porters of Senator Robert M. La Fol
lette here were disgusted with the
simulated sorrow over his death voic-
ed by newspaper editors and other
persons who were his bitterest foes in
life The anguished grief of these hy-
pocritical mourners was taken for eX-
actly what it was worth. 1t was not
ed, too, that through their sobs went
up the wall that the death of Senator
La Toilette left the progressive move
ment in American politics leaderless.
1t was almost necessary to wear
gum boots to wade through the rivers
of crocodile tears shed by the Chi
cago Tribune and the Chicago Daily
News the day following the death of
Senator La Toilette. These two news
papers hated the very name of La
Toilette during his life and bitterly
fought everything that he stood for.
Tribune Renews Lying Charge
The Tribune devoted nearly col
umn of it's editorial space in obituary
praise of his life's work and his char
acter as statesman, but could not
resist the temptation to inject some
of its old-time venom by renewing
the lying charge that Senator La Fol-
lette was unfaithful to his duty as a
senator of the United States after this
country entered the World War.
One of the conspicuous mourners
was Hell-an' Maria Dawes, command
ing general of the Minute Men of the
Constitution. The soul of Dawes was
torn with anguish, if we are to be-
lieve what he said for publication
Another gentleman who wept long
and loud was Roy o. West, secretary
of the republican national committee
To obtain a decent contrast to this
hypocritical pretense, international
Labor News Service obtained state
ments from some genuine friends of
Senator La Toilette and his family
Workers Mourn True Friend
B. M. Jewell, president of the rail
way employees department of the
American Federation of Labor, said:
He died as he lived, expressing
love for and confidence in the Amer
lean people. Thus ends the life of
another great champion of humanity.
ITO me the outstanding character
istic of his life was his sympathy for,
understanding of, unwavering loyalty
to and vigorous championing of the
problems and cause of the American
people.
"The workers of America mourn the
loss of great, true friend whom
they had learned to love-"
Says La Toilette Never FaItered
John Fitzpatrick, president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, made
the following vigorous statement:
"One of labor's ablest advocates
and staunchest supporters has come
to the end of this life's activities.
Robert M. La Toilette was known
throughout the entire civilized world
as Americas greatest modern states
man.
"None of his peers, past or present,
in this or in any other country, ever
had to battle against such tremendous
nnnncitinn of nraSS nnlnit and nnMar-

ed public opinion, Judge Lynch was
less active last year, according to fig
ures made public by the Commission
on race relations of the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ.
Sixteen lynchings, the lowest figure
since the records have been kept,
We're recorded for 1924 In 1914 there
were 81 lynchings and II reported
preventions.
Sometimes sheriffs or other officials
risked their lives to protect prisoners
so that they might receive a legal
trial, the report asserts.

HEART DISEASE GAINS

Louisville, Ky.-Heart disease has
displaced tuberculosis as the great
destroyer of human life, according to
DR.. j. Allen Patton, medical director
of an eastern life insurance company,
in an address to medical men here.

years is three times more likely to

MEET HERE
TODAY
Hoppe and Schaefer in Matt
nee and Evening Matches
at Grand Central

Willie Hoppe, the greatest wielder
of billiard cue the game has ever
known and for fifteen Of the last
seventeen years the worlds title
holder, will appear today and to-
morrow in matinee and evening ex-
htbitions at the Grand Central.
Hoppe made his first appearance
before a Washington audience fiji
teen years ago, and since then has
appeared here upon no less than
five occasions, but in each instance
it was against opponents of more
or less mediocre caliber who in no
instance were able to fully extend
him.
Opposed to Hoppe during his ex-
hibitions today and tomorrow will
be none other than young Jake
Schaefer, the present champion.
Schaefer Is the only player who has
ever wrested the title from Hoppe,
he having performed the feat in
two Of the last four annual cham
pionships.
Strange as it may seem, while
Schaefer has twice defeated Hoppe
for. the crown, the former has yet
to win an exhibition match from
the Incompatible Willie. Schaefer
seems to have an uncanny ability
Of rising to great heights when
playing Hoppe in tItular match.

CLAIM ON
CH|SOX

CHICAGO. March 23.-The White
Sox will not have to refund $1,000
paid by the Vernon, California,
Pacific Coast League club for the
services of Harry Courtney, a south
paw slabber, according to a bulletin
issued by Leslie O'Connor, secre-
/. tary Of the baseball commissioner.
Courtney was sold to Vernon last
April. after he had been recalled
from the San Francisco club, where
he won seventeen games and lost
only six in 1923.
After his sale to Vernon the
pitcher set up a claim that he was
unable to work because of an In.
jury to his arm during the 1928
season. The Vernon officials, ac-
cordingly, appealed to Commissioner
Lands to revoke the transfer, but
the plea was denied on the ground
that Courtney's record Of 1928 and
some exhibition work that he did
after the championship season of
1923 clearly indicated there was
nothing wrong With his arm at the
time OF his sale by the Chicago
club.

Bill Wood May Get
Seventh Letter At
Army

To the vast majority OF those
who follow college athletics
through the country, Bill Wood
IS known as the chap who has
been punting so beautifully on
the Army football teams for the
past few years. But he is far
more than that. He is one Of
the greatest athletes the military
academy has had.
If the Army baseball team
scores over the Navy this year.
Wood will add his seventh star
to his collection. After winning
q letter, stars are added for
the players on teams which de-
feat Navy. Wood has played on
six such teams, in baseball, bas-
ketbaIl and football. There has
been only one other six star
man at the academy, Captain
Robert r. Neyland of the class
of '16. Seven stars would create
a record.

out and win back that pennant on
clean, hustling. basebalb we can

So said to Hug: How about
all this new talent you got around
here?' When he thinks anybody
is trying to. pump him, Hug is the
cagiest little guy in organized base
ball. He didn't answer me for a

would probably cause me TO fall
away 20 q mere two hundred
pounds! Hug knew that was sup.
posed to be little comedy, mixed
with sarcasm, because there
doesn't seem any danger Of me
being farmed out this season.
At least ! expect to be around
for while.
But I'm not kidding myself. A
few seasons back wasn't worrying
much about future years. I'm not
worrying now but I've done some
thinking in the last two winters.
For many seasons Washington
was stuck in the second division
and for three season In a row, the
Yankees breezed through to a PEN
nant. When Washington played
good baseball. even last year. the
wise boys said it was just squirt.
Nobody figured they would con-
tinue the spurt-and above all the
Yankees didn't think so.
But what happened to the

the, American League, might hap

just as liable to happen to the
champion batter. Of the American
League or any other player who

job is safe for life. When some
hustling young star, finally gets my
job in the Yankee lineup, he'll find
me with my boots on.

Hug. And our interview ended, al.
though I'm still in the dark regard
