ON INVESTMENT
BY LEO II. PETERSEN
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK. Aug. 10. U.R)-The
Philadelphia Athletics, winners Of
two consecutive world champion
ships and we'll on the road toward
their third successive American
League pennant. probably represent
the most profitable investment ever
made in the line of athletics.
Heaven only knows how much The
Athletics have rewarded their own
us since the start Of the 1929 sea
son, but. dollar for dollar. tn
Investment made by Connie Mack
and Company stands for the ACME
Of perfection in the sporting world
Il cost the owners Of the Athle-
ties exactly S40o 900 in cash for the
present team-one of the strong
est baseball combinations Of Ill
time. ana It IS safe to say that
the Athletics rewarded their own
ers with az least three times thai
much during their first champion
ship season in 1929.
The greatest single investment Of
Mack and his cohorts is Robert
Moses Grove. known to most fans
as Lefty" The Philadelphia own
e4s PAID Baltimore of the Interna-
Cional League exactly 100000 for
this king Of southpaws, who began
his major league career in 1928.
George Earnshaw. another Of
N2ck's star pitching staff. reduced
the Golfers of the Athletics by $50. =
eco He also came from Baltimore.
The third of The trio, Rube Wal
berg was bought from the New
York Giants at The waiver price OF
$500.
Mickey Cochrane, hailed as the
greatest catcher since Roger Bres-
uahan. brought the Portland Pa
cific Coast league club $4,000. Al
Simmons also cost the Athletics
S50.0C0 the check this time going
to the Milwaukee club OF the AM
e.ican association.
The other OF Mack's big six, =
Jimmy FoXX. cost S2500 That
makes a total OF S260000 that was
paid Tor Grove. Earnshaw. Walberg.
Simmons. Cochraue and FoXX.
There probably are plenty of ma
jor league magnates who would
Willingly part with SI.000,O00 for
any three OF those SIX stars.
The lesser lights Of the Athletics
represent purchase tags ranging
from the $4,000 paid for Max BIZ

$4,000 and Mule Haas $4,000.

PACHO TO MEET
TOD MORGAN in
BOUT FOR TITLE

Bobby Pacho, Imperial Valleys
pride in the pugilistic worlds, gets
his big chance tomorrow night at
the olympic club in Los Angeles
when he battles Tod Morgan for
the lightweight championship OF
the state.
pacho is ranked as the most like
ly lightweight in the state and was
picked for the bout with Morgan
over many who are better known,
in the belief that he would give the
champion a better fight than any
of the other possible contenders.
Valley fans are familiar with
Pachos record, most of his wins
coming in the local arena, where he
rose from preliminary boy to main
eventer in two years. Recently he
attracted big league attention
when he trounced Goldie Hess
twice after getting a draw in their
first encounter.
Morgan was formerly Junior
lightweight champion of the world
and made a fortune from this title,
which is considered synthetic.
The fight tomorrow night Is
booked to go 10 rounds and coast
sports writer's give Bobby good
chance to win, figuring that his
youth and punching ability will
more than offset the champions
experience and cleverness.
A number of local fans are plan
ming to 60 up to see the fight and
root for Pacho to win.

The sentry stated that the car con-
tanned but one man when it stopped
near the pay Office, but that four others
were lettering in the vicinity.
The driver of the car stopped near
the sentrys post and gave an opportuni-

RAIDS ON WEALTHY
DUO STIR CHICAGO
Secret Divorce Suit Code
Unconnected With Drug
Traffic, Says Lawyer.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 16-Visits by
Federal narcotic agents TO the Chicago
homes of w. Perkins Bull, wealthy Ca
madam barrister of Toronto and Lon
don, and Mrs. Mabelle Horlick Sidley,
an American heiress, were the subject
of discussion in the Gold Coast district
today.
Bus attorney said he had been in
formed that papers seized constituted
secret code for use between Bull and
Mrs. Sidley in connection with divorce
suit against her husband, DR.. John
Streeter Sidley of Racine, Wis.
Bull and Mrs. Sidley, who is the
daughter of William H. Horlick, the
matted milk manufacturer, were cues
toned at the district attorneys Office
for six hours by the agents after the
Officers had entered their apartments
in the fashionable Gold Coast section,
presumably trying to trace the ramifi-
cations of an alleged narcotic SNUG
Cling ring.
All Later Released.
j.. j. Harrison. head of a private de-
tectlVe agency, was also questioned All
OF them were released, and the Chicago
Tribune said the agents admitted they
lIdu no evidence. AT the same time
John E. Kehoe, attorney for Bull and
Jules Brewer, representing Harrison,
characterized the whole affair as a
mistake" Local Government officials
said they knew nothing of the affair
or of the impounding of private papers
belonging to Bull and Mrs. Sidley.
The action of the narcotic agents,
who are understood to have been CO.
operating with Canadian authorities,
was taken last Friday. Attorney Kehoe
said his information was that the
Government had mistaken the secret
divorce suit code as having some con-
nection with smuggling. He added there
was absolutely no basis for the seizure
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-02-16

Of Mr. Bull or his papers" Bull is
counsel for Mrs. Sidley.
DR.. Sidley formerly was treasurer of
the Horlick Co. He recently filed a
$250,000 damage suit against Bull and
Harrison, charging continual shadow
ing of him by agents of Bull had
undermined his health. He was unable
to explain. he said, why Bull had taken
an interest in his movements. Subse-
gently he also filed a petition for an
injunction to compel Bull to call OF the
detectives.
Describing the agents visit to Bulls
apartment, Attorney Kehoe said:
They arrived, searched his suite and
took him away without any warrant
He was led to understand that he was
in the hands of Department of Justice
agents who were on the trail of a dope
smuggling group. 1t is ridiculous to
associate Mr. Bull with any such or
ganization. His interests are largely in
sugar plantations"
The raid was termed most unfor-
tunate affair" by T. H. Spence, Mil
waukee attorney for DR.. Sidley.
"Dr. Sidley was not cognizant of the
raids until he read accounts of them
in Sundays newspapers Intimation
from any source that information from
Dr. Sidley might have inspired the
Federal officers to question his wife is
absurd" Spence said.

her gas bills are higher this year than
last for the operation of her gas fur
mace, particularly in view of the rate
reductions which went into effect last
october. II am SO dissatisfied" she
said, Il am thinking about having the
furnace taken out"
An investigation by the commission
of this complaint showed that the con-
sumption this Winter had been higher,
but the net charges were lower on &C
count of the reduced rates.
Other Complaints Cited.
The commission recently asked the
gas company for an explanation of a
transaction in the case of Mrs. Antoin-
cite Earnestly of TOO Sixth street north
east, who complained che had been
given an estimate of S145 as the cost
of operating conversion burner
through the current heating season, and
no mention was made about the maxi
mum use charge. She said her bill for
November was $50 and in December 1t
amounted to $54
President Wood replied that the COM
pany records showed the estimate given
Mrs. Earnestly was $244 and, accord
ing to the bills rendered, the total bill
for the heating season would be 1926.
Mrs. John Ais, 2466 Tunlaw road
complained to the commission that she
is finding it expensive to operate her
gas furnace, despite the fact that the
weather this Winter had been moderate.
IF there is no hope or intention of
lowering the rates" she said, Il will
have to have 1t removed"
Peter M. Dorsch of 1900 Orchid
street, and Daniel Masterson of 1905
Kearney street northeast, are among
the others who complained of high gas
bills. Masterson asked the commission
whether the supposed reduction" for
the average householder, who consti-
tuted the great majority" of consum-
ers, was merely a gesture" Il am
wondering whether the Public Utilities
Commission" he said. lis under the i'm
preston that a real reduction in the
cost of gas to the great body of con-
sumers was accomplished"

NEW POLITICAL PARTY
HELD NEED OF SOUTH
Both Hoover and Democrats Are
Declared to Be Weak in Sup
port of Dixie.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 16.-Declara-
ton that the South is ripe for new
political party" was made yesterday by
Howard v. Williams, executive secretary
Of the League for Independent Political
Action. He has just returned from the
South.
If Hoover we're to run today he
would not carry a single Southern
State" said Williams. AT the same
time the voters have no respect for the
Democratic party"
Williams said factors in the way to
formation of new party were lack of
progressive newspapers. the shortage of
liberal leadership, the resulting ig-
norance of most people concerning the
real facts and the fear of workers and
farmers that employers will resort to
intimidation and force"

NEW POWER BODY
FACES FIRST CASE
Hearing Tests Authority Over
Large Group of Current
Projects.

BY the Associated Press.
The new Federal Power Commission
came to its first hearing today faced
with a challenge of its authority over
large group of water-power develop
ments.
The Appalachian Electric Co. sent
representatives to argue the contention
it has advanced that the Federal agency
has no jurisdiction over its proposed
$11 100000 plant on the New River
near Radford, Va. The principal issue
involved is whether the 1929 water
power act conferred power to regulate
fully hydro-electric projects on non
navigable streams which contribute to
rivers of navigable size Many power
projects over the country are on such
streams.
The former Power Commission of
cabinet members declined to act upon
the application for modified license
sought by the Appalachian concern
It held the question of whether the
Federal or State government had Jur1s-
diction was too important to be settled
without a court ruling.
Virginia has protested she holds juris-
diction. West Virginia, Tennessee and
Arkansas sustained this view. Repre-
oSAAooUiNSS " VIC OAu AoilAlAAOii "CAS w
be on hand today for the hearing. The
other States also were invited to take
part
The company's brief centers upon
three main points:
That the Federal agency lacks juris-
diction.
If it claims jurisdiction, then its pow
er should extend only to issuing a
license that would protect navigation,
exclusive of financial regulation.
That decision of Attorney General
Mitchell to the former commission sus-
tanned the company and should be con-
strued as law until withdrawn by him
or set aside by the courts.
