Wrestling Expose Continues;
Corruption Dominates Game!

The recent quiz into professional
wrestling has brought to light facts
of crookedness and dishonesty start
ling to even the most suspicious fans.
1t seems that back in 1917 Lewis,
Caddock, Stecher and Zybyzko COM
bined into trust to make money out
of tossing the title back and forth.
Over al bouts were staged between
these men and the title changed hands
with the same frequency as the
weather. Since 1917 the trust has
been in control and pretty nearly
every bout of any Importance has
been fixed beforehand.
So damning have been the ex-
posures made, that pro-wrestling in
and around Chicago has been dis
continued. A ma tch featuring
Stranger Lewis has been cancelled
A bill has been presented before the
Illinois legislature, aimed at corrup-
ton in boxing and wrestling. 1t has
already passed the House. However,
commercialism in sports is so deep
rooted that it is impossible to elimin-
ate it by more legislative action.

golfers will have it's fling tomorrow
when Miss Maureen Orcutt, of Ha-

CAPTAIN KIDD AGAIN

HALIFAX, N. S.-The shade OF
Captain Kidd stalked abroad again
this summer, and amateur treasure
hunters swung furtive pick-axes in
lonely spots on the coast. Their only

Private Ownership of

Wheat Farmers Dear

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (FP). -
Senator Brookhart of Iowa, advocate
of public ownership of railroads, has
gathered a series of quotations of
wheat prices at Winnipeg in contrast
with Minneapolis prices for the same
grade of wheat on the same days.
These quotations show that Canadian
farmers have been getting from II
to 20 cents a bushel more, for their
grain, than hnrc American farmers
whose wheat is shipped the same dis.
lance to the seaboard.
The Canadian government-owned,
railroad system recently cut its
freight rate on wheat by to cents
a bushel, and Immediately the price
at Winnipeg was advanced by about
that amount-thus proving that the
Canadian farmers advantage in prices
On their crop is due to lower freight

SINCLAIR, BURNS
FACE CHARGE OF
HINDERING TRIAL
Contempt Case Today
for Jury Fixing

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 4. -
Charged with criminal contempt of
court, VIM J. Burns, most noted of
American labor spies and strikebreak-
ers, his son, VIM. Sherman Burns,
Harry F. Sinclair, oil operator who
got the fraudulent lease to Teapot
Dome's 100000 worth of oil, two
cf his associates and one Of Burns
office managers will be in court to-
morrow morning. Ex-Governor Pin
chot of Pennsylvania win be present
as a witness against them,
The citation against them states
that they sought to "bribe, intimidate
and influence" the jurors in the Fall
Sinclair oil graft trial and that Oil
Baron Sinclair, on trial with former
Secretary Of the Interior Fall, hired
the Burns Detective Agency to get
them a mistrial if it could not get
an acquittal.
Swore False Affidavits
In pursuit of this bargain, says the
charge of contempt, the Brnus Detoc-
tive Agency not only Swallowed,
bounded and frightened the jurors,
but also, on the confession of one Of
the detectives, deliberately framed
up q false affidavit to accuse the
prosecution of doing exactly the same
thing.
The two employees of Sinclair
charged with contempt are Henry
Mason Day and Sheldon Clark. They
are alleged to have been the actual
go-betweens when Sinclair engaged
the Burns company. The object SIN
clair had in mind, in the language of
the citation for contempt is that of
Impeding the trial" Furthermore,
part of their program was that of
some of the jurors.
Besides Pinchot and government
attorneys concerned in the testimony
of the Burns agent, McMullin as to
false affidavits, there will appear in
court as a witness against Burns,
Donald Woodward, Washington de-
partment store owner, in whose home
it is asserted the Burns agents made
many of their reports to Day and
Clark.
All the members of the Fall-Sin-
clair trial will be called.
Sinclair and Burns have alres " in
dicated that their defense will the
technical charge of being ice
placed in jeopardy for the same al
leged offense."
The trial judge in the contempt
case is the same Judge Siddons who
had the graft trial.
