hundred workmen toiled throughout
the night to prevent break in the

Illinois politicians today partly
backed down and told Senator James
A. Reeds campaign investigating
committee some of the things it
wanted to know about expenditures
in the Illinois primary. But, one
witness declined, even under pres,
sure to answer all the committee
asked.
States Attorney Robert Z. Grove
of Chicago, readily answered ques'
tions revealing he had raised about
$5S,000 for local candidates-includ
ing $1,000 in his own ward, $4,000
from Attorney, General CarIstrom OF
Illinois, $25,000 from William Hale

followed Grove and revealed that In
sull, multi-millionaire traction mag
nate, had given him $45,000 for gen
egal political contributions.

Schuyler, however, challenged au
thority of the committee to force de
tails of the transaction. He refused
to say what insult had said when III
gave the money or where the money
was spent.
The committee then obviously be
gan to build record for contempt
prosecutions.
1.-The patience of this committee
with witnesses who decline to answer
is just about exhausted" Chairman

"I prefer not to answer" sale
Schuyler.
When pressed further, he sadi: %.

1.-The committee directs you t.

insult said he gave $1,000 for the
judgeship campaign Of Joseph Saw
age, as Grove had previously re
lated. He also confirmed Schuy
ler's testimony that he had given his
attorney $4,000 in currency at his
office.
insult was granted permission tc
read a statement.
He protested he had given the
committee all the information he
had concerning the senatorial race
He agreed that the maximum tota
amount of contribution for the
Cook County campaign was $4,000
but did not include $4,000 addition
al, so that the statement indicated
he had given a total of $65,000 di
rectly or indirectly to the county
campaign.
insult, however, declined to say
specifically to whom he gave the
$4,000 amounts, but added he gave
the monies to organizations whose
names he did not fee lat liberty to
disclose. He said those who received
the money could tell of amounts
they received if they desired, but
he did not wish to disclose them.

Matty was fast on his feet and when a play was made at first. he was usually with the runner when the ball got there.
 Big Bill Jackson hit one to third base and it was a close play. Matty was down with the runner and he called him out. Bill kicked against the decision and Matty ordered him out of the game. A few more de- csions were made against the Gu bans and soon three players were sitting on the bench.
 Muldoon Meade was pitching that day and although he was considered very good. Egan's decisions didn't stop the Cubans because they won 16 to 3.
 A comical sidelight on the game was caused by the rule that gave the umpire the power 10 chase out of the grandstands any of the spec tators who criticised him.
 Officer Dennis Nealon was then special cop at Traut's park and on one of the decisions. Matty heard s fan with q booming voice shout out You're rotten" He turned to the stands just in time to see the mans mouN, close. Immediately Matty called Officer Nealon and requested that the fan be removed. He pointed to the last man in the first row of the grand stand and the policeman started to escort him out
 AS they passed by. Matty. was almost stunned 10 find out that 1t was Micky Hayes, a close friend of his. For 10 years afterwards, Mike refused to speak to Matty. though in later years, the pair had many laugh over the incident.

FILMS TOO HEAVY
German Movies arc Inclined to be Too Pondcrous and Involved for American Market.

Berlin. June iS.-P-German films are inclined to be too ponder ous and involved for the American market, Ernst Lubitsch declared on his return from four and one-half years film producing activity in Hollywood. American films. the master picture producer believes. are generally more lucid and more to the point in creating "atmos- phefe" and scenery.
 'The meat isn't everything in a roast. Much depends on how it is served" Mir. Lubitsch declared.
 The more fortunate selection of film artists in the states he attri- butEs to the American method of be- ing on the look -out for distinct types rather than for good actors and actresses, as is fhe European custom.

STRICT DRIVING RULES
Automobile Pilots in Paris are Now Required to Stop Behind Trolleys as in This Country.

Paris, June 1S.-P)-Automo obile drivers here are now required to tsop behind street cars, as has long been the custom in America. In France it has been matter Of judgment with drivers as to whether they should stop or not. Usually they kept going slowly, crowdng past people boarding or getting off street
 On the high roads also the gov- ernment has changed the rule that gave drivers on national roads the right of way. The blanket rule that the car coming on the right has the right of way is now the rule of the road. This last regulation is much criticised as certain to slow down traffic on the main arteries and 1t Is predicted it will be little observed.
