State Ends Case
Against Players
In Ball Scandal
Court Informs Prosecutor
That He Will Free "Buck"
Weaver and "Happy"
Felsch of Charges
Bjr Tb Afaorlated rrrM.
Chicago. July 27. Judge Hugo
Friend today informed the state's at
torney in the base ball trial that he
would direct the jury to return a
verdict of not guilty in the cases of
"Buck" Weaver and "Happy" Felsch,
former White Sox players, and Larl
Zork of St. Louis, unless further
evidence was introduced against
these men.
The state dropped its case against
Ben and Louis Levi of Kokomo, Ind.
Motions to dismiss the charges
against Joe Jackson and David
Zelcer of Des Moines were over
ruled. Maharg on Stand.
Billy Maharg of Philadelphia, pal
of Bill Burns and Abe Attell during
the formation and completion of
the alleged conspiracy for ;he
throwing of the 1919 world series,
today told his story of the reported
$100,000 sell-out of the indicted
players.
Maharg was the 4inal witness .or
the state in the base ball trial. He
was said by Burns to have been
present at several meetings of the
gamblers and players, where plans
for the alleged game-throwing were
made.
Maharg began his testimony by
telling of the meeting he witnessed
between Burns and Eddie Cicotte
at the Ansonia hotel in New York in
September, 1919.
"Chick Gandil also was there,
said Maharg.
"I heard Cicotte say that if the
Sox won the pennant the world sc
ries could be thrown for $100,000.
Gandil said the players would throw
the games in any order desired.
"After Cicotte and Gandil left
Burns repeated the conversation to
me, as I had not heard all ci it. He
said Cicotte and Gandil had agreed
to see that the series was thrown
for $100,000. I went to New York
with Burns and saw Arnold Roth
stein. "Burns told Rothstein the Sox
had agreed to throw the series for
$100,000 and asked Rothstein to put
it up, but Rothstein refused."
"I went back to Philadelphia.
Then 1 got a telegram from Burns
to meet him on a train for Cincin
nati. Went to Cincinnati
"I went to Cincinnati, getting
there the morning of the first game.
I met Burn's at the Sinton hotel that
evening. He told me Abe Attell
got Rothstein to put up the $100,000
and that $20,000 would be given the
players after each game."
Maharg told of further meetings
between Burns, Eddie Cicotte and
Chick Gandil in New York, of fur
ther meetings in Cincinnati and Chi
cago and of how Attell sent $10,000
to the players in Cincinnati by
Burns when $40,000 was due them.
Like Burns, Maharg identified
David Zclcer of Des Moines, la., as
a man who he knew in the alleged
conspiracy as Bennett.
Maharg denied that he was
"Peaches" Graham, former major
league catcher, as the defense has
claimed.
"My name is Billy Maharg," he
said. "I was raised on a farm and
was a prize fighter from 1897 to
1907."
Japan to Protest
Deportation of 65
Claim Constituted Encroach
ment of Rights of'Men
In U. S.
Tokio. July 27. (By The Asso
ciated Press.) The Nichi Nichi
says today that the cabinet has de
cided the government should send
a protest to the United States gov
ernment against the deportation of
Japanese workers from the harvest
fields in Turlock, Cal. The foreign
office ywhen inquiries were made
there, said it had no information
concerning the reported decision of
the government.
The ground on which the protest
would be based- accoWing to the
Nichi Nichi, was that the deporta
tion constituted an encroachment of
the rights of the Japanese who were
living in obedience to the laws of
the United States.

(Continued From Pf On.)
been practicing in Nebraska under
"sufferance." This new law was
promoted by the Christian Sci
entists. Although the new legislative dis
tricting bill is in effect today, it will
not be in practical effect until the
next state election. This law pro
vides for the election of state rep
resentatives and senators by districts.
Heretofore Douglas county has elect
ed 12 representatives and five sena
tors from the county at large. Un
der the new law the county will be
divided into 13 representative dis
tricts and five senatorial districts,
adding one to the former delegation
from this county. Each state repre
sentative and senator will be nomi
nated and elected from his particular
district and must reside within that
district. This will apply through
out the state.
Combine Omaha Courts.
A new law which pertains only to
Omaha effects the municipal court,
which is to embrace the police court
and justice of the peace court, be
ginning in January, 1923. The pres
ent municipal court, has three
judges, elected last fall for terms
of four years. During the fall of
1922 two more municipal judges will
be elected and the police judgeships,
as such, will be abolished. The fic
municipal judges will assume all of
the work of the existing municipal
court, plus that of the police court
and justice of the peace.
A new law affecting the school
districts of the state requires that
all boys and girls between the ages
of 14 and 16, who have not been
graduated from high school, shall
not be granted employment permits
unless they attend part-time school.
If granted employment permits be
tween the ages mentioned they must
not work in excess of 40 hours a
week, nor attend school less than
ciarht hours a week. In Omaha this
will come within the jurisdiction of
the vocational supervisor of the
Board of Education.
New Boving Bill.
The new boxing bill, so called, is
one of the most important and popu
lar laws which which goes into ef
fect today. The law places boxing
and wrestling in this state under the
direction of the state board of public
welfare. Omaha, the only city of the
metropolitan class, is allowed seven
clubs and each club is allowed one
bout per calendar month, except
when a special permit is issued by
the board. The law protects clubs
and the public, prohibits betting at
these events and provides rules and
regulations for the promotion of
clean sport. .
Another new law provides that
five-sixths of a jury may give a ver
dict in civil cases. District court
judges are allowed to order investi-:
gations in divorce cases.
The public defender will be allowed
to name his own deputy, which harks
back to the recent election of John
N. Baldwin, who became involved in
a tilt with the county commissioners
over the retention of a son of County
Commissioner Thomas O'Connor" in
the public defender's office.
No July 4 Pardons.
The governor will not be allowed
to issue pardons on the Fourth of
July, which was a time-honored cus
tom. Tax levies will be based hereafter
on the full valuation, instead of on
one-fifth as has been the practice
here for many years. The chief rea
son for the change was to obviate the
necessity of making explanations to
bond buyers when reporting the val
uation in connection with bond sales.
Arrangements already have been
made by the Omaha police depart
ment for the enforcement of the new
motor (lens) law. A demonstration
for motorists recently was held at
Ak-Sar-Ben field and testing stations
have been designated and authorized
to issue certificates of examination of
lenses which will hold a motorist
immune from arrest for 30 days.
Hold Up Bread Law.
The bread law, promulgated by
Representative E. A. Smith Of
Omaha, is held up through legal ac
tion in the courts of Lancaster
county, attacking its constitutional
ity.
The lanauaee law. which restrict
the teaching of foreign languages in
grade schools, is likewise held up
through court action at Fremont.
Referendum Is Filed.
Referendum editions have Wn
filed with the secretary of state
against the enforcement of the fol-f
lowing new laws. Prohibition of
picketing during strikes, statewide
registration of voters, requiring all

would discontinue direct primary for
ciecuon oi aeiegates to county, state
and national conventions; portion of

Cedar Blufs Celebrates
Thirty-Fifth Birthday
Cedar Bluffs, Neb., July 27.
(Special.) Cedar Bluffs celebrated
its 35th birthday. It was a home

Many come from long distances,
some from as far as Alberta, Can

Effort to Halt
Reserve Board
Probe Futile
Chairman Promises Searching!
Inquiry Into Alleged Arti
ficial Deflation Wil
liams to Be Called.
By E. C. SNYDER.
Waahington Corrmponilent Omh Bee.
Washington, July 27. (Special
Telegram.) Efforts to stae off or
stifle a complete investigation of the
federal reserve board and subsidiary
or associate organizations by the
joint congressional commission of
agricultural inquiry promise to be
futile. Chairman Sydney Ander
son said today he would insist on a
most searching probe and if former
Controller of the Currency John
Skelton Williams has any leal in
formation to give he will be given
every opportunity to make himself
heacd.
Mr. Anderson intimated that the
commission would not be swayed
from its purpose by the unpopular
ity of Mr. Williams with certain
bankers and financial institutions.
Expect to Get Names.
Mr. Williams is expected to give
names and concrete illustrations of
the manner in which federal reserve
banks are alleged to have squeezed
the farmers. There is known to ba
in the possession of a friend of Mr.
Williams a letter written by a form
er member of the federal reserve
board in which the statement is made
that it is about time to force the
farmers to dispose of their products.
This letter was shown to a Balti
more publsher, who will probably be
asked to give as near as he can the
contents of the documents. The let
ter, which the commission would like
very much to get hold of, says
among other things that the farmers
are too prosperous, that they must
be comoelled to sell their grain and
other products and that to do this a
policy of forced dcflatiton is abso
lutely necessary.
The letter was written in the spring
of 1920 and shortly afterwards the
farmers of the United States began to
feel the pinch of hard times. Whether
Mr. Williams can get the letter re
ferred to is doubtful, but the com
mission, by using its compulsory
process, may be able to force it from
its present repository or at least ob
tain enough of its contents to assist
in making a case against alleged ar
tificial deflators.
May Call Nebraskans.
"We are going to get evidence
from whatever source it can be ob
tained," said Mr. Anderson. Charles
S. Barrett, charman of the national
board of farm organizatons, says it
may be necessary to invite some farm
leaders from Nebraska to testify in
support of Mr. Williams' charges. He
is much disappointed at the action
of the commission in postponing the
hearing on the federal reserve board
until next week.
Many republican leaders in the
senate did not hesitate to say that in
their judgment President Harding's
special message to congress on rail
roads and farm financing had knocked
the Norris bill to create a $100,000,-
uuu tarm export corporation into a
cocked hat and that the Kellogg bill,
introduced yesterday, had the back
ing of the administration and would
be pushed at once as a substitute for
the Norris bill.
Ak-Sar-Ben Crew Takes
Trail to West's Shindig
(Continued From Face One.)
Fowler elevators as thfc choo-choo
shot past.
The three private cars were oc
cupied by Adams and Jeffers, and
Charles Lane, the road's general
freight agent. W. S. Basinger, gen
eral passenger agent, also was along
to take care of any of the boys who
might become panicky on getting so
tar away trom home.
And oh, yes; there s a club car
with a shower bath, barber, manicur
ist, stock ticker and Swiss music
box.
The stock yards gang, headed by
Everitt Buckingham, 27 strong, took
charge of one Pullman. Heber Hord
and. his son, John Naylor, and Mike
Sha'tighnessy, big Nebraska stock
man, climbed aboard at Central City
when the engine hesitated for a slight
imbibation.
At Grand Island the special
stopped one hour while the Omaha
gang got out to give the natives a
rare treat. Headed by D. J. Trail,
secretary of the Grand Island Cham
ber of Commerce, all the merry
villagers were on hand to look over
the boosters from the big city.
Dr. H. A. Waggoner, at this point
shook his trick Ak-Sar-Ben saxo
phone players out of their box and
tuned up for a concert. The jazz
took the Grand Islanders by storm
and a couple of the most enthusiastic,
tried to bribe General Manager
Jeffers to hold up the train so the
band could play "Alice Blue Gown."
Its a cosmopolitan. crowd Charlie
Gardner is caring for. There are law
yers, doctors, merchants chiefs, rich
men, poor men, but the rest must
go unsung, even though there are a
couple of hankers on board.
Mayor Dahlman is among those
present. The mayor is going to give
the riders at Cheyenne the up and
down. He denies, however, he in
tends to enter the contests. That's
why he says he left his big hat at
home. He's taking no chances. "In
the old days it might have been,"
sighed the mayor as he sadly con
fessed that upholstered limousines
are more nearly his speed nowadays.
Police Commissioner Henry Dunn
came along, he says, to take care of
the mayor, but the chief executive
contends he'll be taking, car of
Henry before the shindig is over.
Gage County Teachers to

Beatrice, Neb., July 27. (Special.)
Teachers' institute will be held

Landlords of Toronto
Now Asking Tenants
$2 to Show A partments
Toronto, July 27. Some land
lords here jre asking prospective
tenants $2 for the privilege of look
ing at apartments.
Complaining to the newspapers to
day about it, one house hunter said
a landlord told him the $2 would
not apply on the rent if he should
accept the apartment.
"I charge you $2 to look at the
place," said the landlord. "It has
nothing to do with the rent."
Attempt To Kill
Language Law
Rapped by Davis
i
Attorney General Charges Ed
itors of Foreign Papers Are
Leading Attack on Reed
Norval Bill.
Lincoln, July 27. (Specal.) Ne
braska editors of papers printed in
foreign languages and leaders among
foreign-born citizens of Nebraska are
fighting the Reed-Norval language
law because they hope that by stifling
the use of the American tongue and
sprading the use of the German
tongue they can maintain their lead
ership among these people, is a
charge made by Attorney General
Clarence A. Davis in an answer pre
pared today to a suit against enforce
ment of the Reed-Norval law. Ex
cerps from the answer follows:
"For sometime there has been an
effort to foster and maintain foreign
customs, languages and ideals in
some communities and localities in
this state, and to check the growing
Americanization of such communi
ties and render them immune from
all influences except those presented
by leaders employing a goreign
tongue.
Enlightment Is Necessary.
"The continued success of the re
publican system of government in
America is dependent upon a uni
formity of enlightment of citizens in
full sympathy with the ideals of this
ration.
"A considerable portion of the pop
ulation of the state its either foreign
born or of foreign parentage with a
natural tendency oward foreign ideals
and ideas of government, and with
a natural hesitancy to adopt and as
similate American customs, methods
and form of government."
At the same time Davis issued a
statement deploring the action of Dis
trict Judge Button of Fremont, in
issuing a temporary injunction
against enforcement of the law. He
said:
Regrets Judge's Action.
"I regret very much that Judge
Button saw fit to issue a temporary
injunction agianst the enforcement of
the Reed-Norval act, without consid
ering the brief submitted by the state
cr the special appearance entered on
behalf of the governor and the at
torney general, objecting to his juris
diction. "The practical effect of this tem
porary injunction, when ruling on
the premanent injunction is set as
far ahead as September, is to tic
the hands of the law enforcing ma-
enmery ot the state and give the
foreign language communities the
opportunity to hold summer schools
in a foreign language, under pro
tection of this injunction."
Here are excerpts fro-i the brief
niea oy ine attorney general, which,
it is charged Judge Button failed to
answer:
No Reason for Act.
"There is no particular reason for
bringing the governor and the at
torney general into Platte county
and compelling them to defend thi3
action in Platte county and com
pelling them to defend this action in
Platte county at considerable incon
venience. The next step will be for
some county judge in Banner or
Sioux counties to enjoin the gover
nor from enforcing the liquor law,
thus compelling state officers to
spend most of their time on the bor
ders of the state defending them
selves against actions brought -in
outlying counties. ' -
"It is rather an unusual proceed
ing for a single judicial officer, at
the outset of an action, without
granting the governor of the state
an opportunity to be heard to en
join him from carrying into effect
the will of the state, as expressed
in a legislative act.
"With all due respect, we are drift
ing into a dangerous situation when
a single judicial officer sets himself
up as a higher legislative body and
attempts to nullify the acts of the
133 members of the legislature. No
doubt, the power exists in a district
judge, to nullify a law on the ground
of unconstitutionality, but the ex
ercise of such a power is ordinarily
left to the supreme court and seldom
assumed at the outset of an action,
before proof."
Fingerprint System Now
Used by Sheriff's Office
The fingerprint system of identi
fication was put into operation by
Sheriff Clark yesterday in accord
ance with the law passed by the last
legislature. All other counties in the
state will take finger prints of men
sent to the penitentiary and of boot-,
leggers. The prints will be mailed
to Hans Nielsen, head of the new
state department of identification.

Kellogg, republican, Minnesota, in
troduced a bill drafted by Secretary
H,oover and Director Meyer of the
war finance corporation and said to
have the approval of the president,
as a substitute for the pending Norris
bill to create a $100,000,000 farm ex
port corporation. The bill embraced
the president's suggestions to em
power the war finance corporation,
instead of a new federal corporation,
as provided in the Norris bill, to ad
vance credits for agricultural ex
ports. Senator Kellogg said that the bill
drafted -by Secretary Hoover and Di
rector Meyer had the approval of the
Treasury department. It would au
thorize extensions of credits to pro
ducers or their associations, export
ers and also to bankers for agricul
tural export purposes. Besides the
finance corporation's capital of $500,-
000,000 a revolving fund it would
be authorized to issue $1,000,000,000
on bonds. ,
Amendments Proposed.
Champions of the Norris bill, how
ever, continued their fight in its be
half, but with amendments made to
day by the agriculture committee
designed to meet objections raised.
The amendments would eliminate
proisions said to give the proposed
corporation power to buy and sell
farm products. The committee also
reduced the bond issue from $1,000,
