ROCKEFELLER, JR., IS CENTER
OF DISCUSSION BY WOMEN
Statement on Prohibition Is Widely
Acclaimed by Convention Delegates,
While Others Express Surprise.

Iauding Mr. Rockefeller's stand was
Mrs. Leslie w. Wheeler, Illinois CO.
chairman Of the Women's Organization
for Prohibition Reform, who said: mo
one can question the integrity OF such
a statement from Mr.. Rockefeller. It
has given women courage to come out
and express their personal views in re-
gard to the failure Of the present sys-
tenn openly"
Declares Statement Was Awaited.
Many Of us were waiting for that
statement" said Mrs. Bertha Baur,
Illinois committeewoman. ITS time
We stopped beating about the bush and
called spade a spade"
Mrs. Baur's stand recalls her CAM
paign for Congress and the Bertha
and beer" slogan which appeared on a
truck load of empty barrels driven
through north side streets one Sunday.
More conservative was the admission
OF Mrs. John Hillman, committeewoman
from Colorado, that even vote on
resubmission might not carry in my
State, where every candidate who has
been elected has been a dry. However,
such a statement as Mr.. Rockefeller's
Is important in its bearing on this issue.
People who are not ready to vote for
any definite substitute for the eighteenth
amendment might favor the chance to
reconsider"
Express Approval
Democratic women leaders, Mrs.
George Bass and Mrs. Charles w.
Conkey, Illinois committeewomen, both
expressed loud approval.
This stand of man like Mr..
Rockefeller strengthens the position of
our party in its stand for justice and
liberty" said Mrs. Conkey.
Reservations for Mrs. Alice Roosevelt
Longworth have been made at the
Blackstone. She probably will reach
Chicago at about the same time as Mrs.
Albert w. Simms, or, as she is better
known, Ruth Hanna Mccormick Simms,
who. in marrying. espoused the sena-
torial aspirations Of the former Repre-
sentative from New Mexico.

CHICAGO, June Unacceptable
Technology to describe the various pro-
posals respecting the prohibition dis
pute is one of the complicated questions
raised in convention ranks.
The broad term "resubmission," al
most uniformly used by anti-prohibi-
sons who insist that the eighteenth
amendment cannot be resubmitted."

pie to pass upon the prohibition matter

Gold Mining
in Washington

There is "gold' right here in the District of Column
ba. This is indicated by the fact that from time
to time men who call themselves miners" extract
this gold from the pockets of Washington men
and women, giving in return stock in Western
properties said to contain gold.
Of course many non-producng gold properties are
perfectly legitimate specuations, and persons who
fully investigate the facts might in all wisdom
purchase securities in these enterprises The pur-
/ pose of this caution is primarily to repeat the old
adage that "all is not gold that glitters'
People who in the past have been victims of gold
mine stock promotions usually admit that the
H "lure" of enormous profits caused them to invest

TRIPPING money in year caused many people to

HORNSBY BORROWS
MONEY FROM CUBS
Gets Loans of $1,000, Lam
dis Finds, but Race Betting
Not Held Serious.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ut. LOUIS, August 13.-That
Rogers Hornsby, recently deposed
manager of the Chicago Cubs,
was not involved to any great
extent in betting on horse races, but
that he had borrowed $4,000 from mem
bers of the team Of which he was
manager. was indicated in statement
issued here today by Base Ball Com
missioner K. M. Lands.
The commissioner handed reporters
a 36-page statement containing the
results of an investigation OF Hornsbys
personal affairs in connection with
horse race betting, with the announce
ment that the investigation Is closed
and that nothing more would be done
about it.
COMMISSIONER LANDIS drew no
~ conclusions from the evidence he
had gathered in interviews with
Charley O'Leary and Woody English OF
the Chicago Cubs.
The story of the borrowing OF $4,000
from four members of the club was
followed, in the statement by an ex-
planation that arrangements had been
made by Hornsby to pay the players
out of his salary still coming from the
Cubs management.
In the main, the testimony gathered
by Lands failed to connect Hornsby
with any recent betting on horses, and
testimony of all parties seemed to clear
the deposed manager OF charges OF
having been associated IN betting with
members of his team.
HORNsBY told lands today that he
i i had not placed a bet on horse
since 1929 or 1890" Leslie O'Con-
nor. secretary to Commissioner Lands,
elected a contradictory statement TO the
effect that Hornsby had won a $3.50 bet
on a horse race since that time, and
was paid in a check which was valueless
because the bank it was drawn on
failed. The check was still in the hands
of the party who sponsored him when
he made the bet, Hornsby testified:
The investigation of Hornsby began
last Thursday when Commissioner
Lands went to Pittsburgh to talk to
members of the Cubs team, following
publication in Chicago of story which
inferred that Hornsby was heavily in
debt to some of them as a result of
this. Hornsby said the money he bor-
rowed was used in defraying income
taxes, mortgage interest and other
necessary obligations. Bush testified
that about a year ago he had endorsed
a SIS 900 note for Hornsby. the note
being payable to Murray Mcleod, now
dead. president of the Albany Park
National Bank Chicago. Bush said
Hornsby had taken up this nose.

WASHINGTON base ball fans evil
w IDENTIFY do not harbor grudges.
Thoroughly aroused for a time
after One-punch Bill Dickey, Yankee
catcher, dealt the blow that broke Carl
Reynolds jaw in the July double
header, followers of the game here
cooled considerably before the fist
finger made his next appearance in
Griffith Stadium.
Appearing here yesterday for the
first time since Independence day,
Dickey was only mildly booed by few
Of the 5000 In the stands. Ard, at that,
he was roundly applauded by perhaps
as many as booed at him. Dickey had
poor day at bat, and he was we'll
razZed after each of his failures at the
plate, but there was no unusual demon
Stration against the New York catcher.
Plenty of police were at hand, but
they were not needed. Your Washing
ton fan forgives-and forgets- quickly.
n EYNOLDS crashed the lineup for
n the first time since Dickey's blow
laid him low. Carl stepped up to
bat for Bluege in the tenth and gave
the ball fine lacing to send it toward
right center. However, Combs, the Yank
center fielder, Sprinted across the turf
for sparkling catch.
Ru.fing got pair Of odd hits. In
the third inning the Yankee pitcher
bounced a hot one off Thomas leg
and barely beat the slabman's throw
to the initial sack. In the fifth, Charley
ward third and Bluege made no effort
to throw. There was nothing f1uky
about Charley's wallop in the tenth,
though.
Trying to get out Of the way Of one
Of Thomas pitches in the first frame,
Ruth accidentally hit the ball and
drilled into double-play.
DLUEGE was plain poison to Combs,
- making two nifty catches to retire
this Yank. The Nationals third
baseman dashed along the grandstand
barrier to get Earls foul in the third
and in the fifth. got another foul from
Earl as he teetered on the top step of
the New York dugout.
Myer made an easy steal Of second
base in the fourth session, getting
plenty of help from Bill Dickey, who
threw high and wide of the sack.
No time was wasted by the clubs
on the field The first nine innings
occupied but hour and % minutes and
the entire contest was played much
faster than most games Of regulation
length.
