 Those men shivering without over coats in the long line or whose feet poked through threadbare shoes are being given new clothes.

 New charges that government at torneys intimidated witnesses Burns detective jury-trailers in this instance-occupied lawyers today as testimony concerning a previous charge of government intimidation of Juror Edward kidwell continued
 Ndwell. a juror in the first Fall Sinclair trial, yesterday reversed himself and admitted his statements to the '. s. attorney were true. to the best Of my belief" He persisted in his statement however. that As sistant U. S. Attorney James O'Leary put many of the words into his month--on the basis of which George P. Hoover, Harry Sinclair's lawyer, charged OLeary with intim- idation.
 Justice F. L. Sddons said the in
  inhalation charges must be sifted before the contempt trial continues.
 The court will adjourn tomorrow until Tuesday, Jan. 3. A hearing on the contempt citation against Har- ry NJ. Blackmer, missing key wit ness in the Fall Sinclair trial. from whom the government seeks $l0O. 900 forfeit as the result ot his failure to testify, is scheduled for Jan. 6. This will be postponed or transferred to another court.
 It Is believed unlikely that presen- tation Of evidence will be concluded in the contempt proceedings by Jan. Is. Because Sinclair cannot be tried in two courts at once. 1t is likely 10 be postponed.

 In defiance of Moslem tradition and against the. opposition of his mullahs (pricsts) King Amanullah allows his queen and daughters not only to unveil but to mix freely with their fellow passengers and share in the deck sports. As soon as the party re-enters Moslem ter ritory they must re-veil but just now they are enjoying their new freedom with unembarrassed, child like delight.

BARNARD FAVORS
 DRAFT AGREEMENT
Says Players Have Right to E1-
 peCt Advancement in Game

Atlantic City. N. J.. Dec. 22 R- President E. S. Barnard. new head of the American league, believes in a universal draft agreement be- tween the majors and minors, be cause it is the right of the baseball player to advance in his profession and secure adequate compensation for his skill as player"
 The former head of the Cleve- land Americans. here for a few days vacation following the joint major league meetings in New York last week, predicted that 1928 will prove the greatest year in baseball.
 In advocating the universal draft, now discarded by the minor leagues 'and the subject of considera ble controversy. President Barnard de- clared that fans and even sport writers do not understand the draf, and therefore often get the wrong impression"
 The right of a ball player to ad~ vance in his profession and secure adequate compensation is one of the cornerstones of organized baseball and should always remain as such. At the present time with the modified draft there are leagues that do not permit the right of se- lection and that halts the advance of a player. I believe that when the magnates meet together to talk over the draft all leagues will sup init to the universal draft which gives them a higher price for the drafted players besides giving the players the right to advance them selves by being selected for the ma jor leagues"
