M also voiced his confidence that American women would stand with the republican party against the Yersaill league of nations, but said he wmU "refuse to make any emo- ticmal appeal to the hearts of the wowten of America." . The protection of motherhood of , America cannot be accomplished un til the state and the nation have en acted and, by their example, have ewferted customs, which protect wo- nKupitood itself, he said. , "Twelve million women in the UmM States, 40 per cent of them btwn IS and 20 years of age, are - ewgasjed in paid occupations or pro fess.

' Abolish Unemployment. "We are often presented with conditions which result in industrial controversy, but-which may not be charged to either side. I speak spe cifically of two examples; the first involves the unrest, the discontent, which arises from unsteady employ nint. I am enough of an optimist to believe that government can as sist in the abolition of this most unfortunate condition. Vv "I am eTen enough of an tfptimist E; tarpKeve-that the -government can , take a jarge part in a second, and perhaps, even more important cam paign. I Deiieve tnat many ot our workers are engaged in tasks which have been so specialized that the men and women themselves have be come almost pieces of mechanism. In sack a condition, men and women are drained dry of the impulse to create." : ' ' ;In advancing his proposal of a new federal department, Senator Harding said: "While others may have their eyes fixed upon some particular piece of legislation, or some particular policy of social justice which calls for the sympathetic interest of us all, I say, without hesitation, that our primary consideration must be the machinery of administrative government, and that when the time comes for us to reorganize our administration in Washington, we must all stand to gether for the creation of a depart ment of public welfare. Must Prevent Bureaucracy. "It is almost useless for us to go on expending our energies in ad vancing humanitarian policies which we wish put into effect, and it is useless for us to hope for the effect ive administration of humanitarian policies already undertaken by the federal government, until we have prepared to create an administrative center for the application of our pro gram. . "At the present time we find so cial welfare bureaus and social wel fare undertakings scattered hope lessly through the departments, sometimes the- one overlapping the other, and sometimes, indeed, en gaging in bickerings between them slves. The picture is one of ineffi ciency and of wasted funds." Against paternalism Senator Hard ing struck vigorous " warning. "In creating federal departments for the i 1 Move Made "To Clean Up Base Ball Forever" (Con tinned Pram Fata One.) standably, they might not look un der ordinary circumstances. "As a basis for proposed action, the signers of this letter have agreed to a preliminary plan and agree to put it into operation. "The undersigners urge that the three most prominent men obtain able (in no wise connected with base ball) be obtained to act as a superior tribunal, and that such tri bunal shall have unreviewable au thority over presidents of all leagues, club owners, players and every other person, act or thing, connected with base ball. "The mere knowledge of control of base ball by such men would insure that the public interests would be first served and that therefore all existing evils would disappear. "It is proposed to appropriate the necessary expenses for this tribunal from the world series and major league receipts. Paying" these men higher salaries, than any one con nected with . base ball . receives would emphasize their authority and automatically attract men ' of "the type desired. "Everyone connected with base ball would be absolutely under con trol of this tribunal. If an owner committed an unethical act, the tri bunal could reprimand him, fine him or even revoke his franchise. . "Likewise it would be empowered to establish a proper relationship be tween minor and major'leagues. "The conduct of the player upon the field, and the rules governing the games also will be subject to the final and arbitrary review and dictum of the tribunal. "It is unthinkable that in such an environment and under such super-j vision, anything unclean or un sportsmanlike could even remotely creep into the national game. The letter requests club owhers to sign an enclosed memorandum and return it to Mr. Veeck. Grand Jury Investigate National League Contests Chicago, Oct. 1. The Cook conn ty grand jury investigating the base ball scandal, today received further information concerning the throw ing of games m last year s world series but devoted most of the day's sessions to an investigation of al leged crooked work in the national league. " William Veeck. president of the Chicago National league club, told the jury that his private investiga tion of charges that the Philadelphia Chicago National league game of August 31 had been fixed for Phila df lphia to win, led him to believe that the club itself had beep made th "sucker" in the case and other witnesses gave additional details of the activities which led to the dis charge from base ball of Lee Magce and Hal Chase. Veeck said evidence he had found in Detroit convinced him there was no crooked work in the August 31 grame. He said he believed the gam blers themselves had sent him the telegrams received just before the game, saying it was "fixed" and that they had done this to make the club switch from Hendrix, a comparative ly weak pitcher to Alexander, one of the best in the league. This gave Chicago its strongest possible line up which was' what the gamblers wanted, he said. Herrmann on Stand. Garry Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati club and formerly chair man of the National commission, presented affidavits from Christy Mathewson, former New York pitch er and Cincinnati manager, "Greasy" Neale, Cincinnati outfielder, Jimmy Ring, Cincinnati pitcher and Man ager McGraw of the New York Giants. These affidavits, he said, ab solutely proved the guilt of Chase ar-dMagee. Interest in thi American league side of the scandal was kept up by ihe return of M'Clay Hoyne, state's attorney, from New York-with evi dence which he said would help in criminal prosecution of players and gamblers indicted. "We investigated for some time and while we found enough to con vince us the series was not on the square we found nothing on which to base legal action," said Mr. Hoyne. Clyde Elliott, another witness, verified the previous testimony con cerning a trip by William (Kid) Gleason, White Sox manager, to. St Louis in an attempt to get evidence that the world series was not straight. "Buck" Weaver, Fred McMullin and "Swede" RIstierg, three of the eight White Sox players indicted, de clared they are mnocent and would fight the case in court. It was reported that the jury had received evidence that considerable betting was done in Kansas City his year on a Cleveland-Chicago game, but no testimony proving crookedness by anyone in this con nection was received, according to an official in the states attorney's office. administration of social justice and social welfare, we must avoid the fearful results of bureaucracy," he said. "When we create in Washing ton a strong federal government and undertake, even for the most human itarian purposes, new federal burd ens, let us with all reverence pray that we shall never by this means put to sleep the spirit, the sense of duty, and the activities of the communities and neighborhoods of the United States."

Los Angeles, Oct. 1. An arrest within a few hours in connection with the mysterious murder of Jacob Charles Denton, whose body was found hidden in the cellar of his mansion of Catalina street last week, was predicted by police detec tives today. " , This prediction followed the dis covery by detectives tnat a bundle of clothine had been burned by hooded men, and a chauffeur's bade been found back of a house occu pied by James W. Crowhursr, a plumber, who recently made an amazing statement in which he chareed that Mrs. R. C Peete, for merly Denton's housekeeper, had ordered him to board up the secret chamber where Denton's body later was discovered. Mrs. Peete s disappearance from her Denver home was denied, oday. She is thought to be on her way to Los Angeles. Boy Gives Tip. The story of the burned clothes was told by a 14-year-old boy who found the badge and charred bundle after he had seen a weird group of men, their taces concealed by shawls, surrounding a mysterious bonfire. The badre bore a Colorado num ber and was identical with two other badges found at the Catalina street house and said to have been left there by Mrs. Peete. A woman testified today that she found a blood stained . bundle . of clothing in the same neighborhood as that described by the boy. She said she attempted to wash out the blood stains, but failing,' burned the clothes. v Another' singular and interesting disclosure was to the effect that be fore his death Denton confided to J. . Metcalf, an intimate friend, that he feared he was going to be murdered. Metcalf was with Denton the day before that on which he is supposed to have been slain. Met calf stated further that Denton told him just before his death that he was planning a trip to Kansas City. According to a furniture repair man, it was learned today, Mrs. Peete, on August 18, brought to him - ' m , . , j a Aiorris cnair ana a aining room chair to be repaired. They were broken, she said "m a party." This and other bits of evidence lead the police to. the conclusion that the death of Denton followed violence. Wind Around Mrs. Peete. The "man with his arm in a sling" appeared in evidence - again today. It' was learned that when Mrs. Peete presented checks to bank officials she said that Denton's signature on the checks was unusual because Denton had injured his arm. The bank sent out an investigator who reported he had found a man be lieved to be Denton, with his arm. jn a sling. The' arms of the body re covered trom the Catalina street residence were discovered to be in perfect condition save for a trace of an old fracture Dr. Cartnll of Scligman, Ariz., told the district at torney's office today he had at tended Denton in 1914 when"- an arm was fractured. This lends ad ditional evidence that the dead body really was Denton's. Tear Open Walls. Detectives of the district attorney's office today ripped open walls and floorings of the house in the cellar of which the body of Jacob Charles Denton, mining: nromoter, was found buried a week ago. The object of today s search and the result were kept secret. A development announced by the police was the discovery that two checks drawn in the name of J. C Denton -were cashed at a bank jn which the nromoter had an account, a few days after his supposed dis appearance. The checks were pre sented br a woman, it was stated. and their total was within a few dol lars of the balance Denton had in the. bank. Acting Coroner Williams today announced the inquiry had been postponed until the last week in October.. Co-Operative Company Granted Permission For Big Stock Issue Lincoln.

Oct. 0 l-Politics were injected very forcibly.into yes terday's session of the Rock River conference of the Methodist Episco ral church when Dr. Clarence True Wilson, general secretary of the na tional board of temperance, prohi bition and public morals, spoke upon 'the present situation, discussing prohibition, Americanization, the Bible in public schools, protection of Americans engaged in outlawed business in foreign countries and gambling crusades. Governor' Cox is "loose, low and liquid," he said, "the champion of the liquor interests, the advocate of the laxist enforcement regime that Ohio hav ever known." Dr. Wilson also accredited the democratic candidate with responsibility for the prize fighting wave that is spreading all over the country. Many objections were raised by the clergymen to Dr. Wilson's par tisan statements. He stated that Senator Harding was the last repub lican he wanted for a candidate but with "Harding 90 per cent dry and with Cox 100 per cent wet, I have no choice in the matter and you min isters should not have a doubt how to vote or inform your congrega tion which is the right side."
