Reported Two More Ball Players Want to Tell Story to Inquisi- torial Body Chicago, Sept. 30.Positive assurance was giyen today that objections of state’s attorney Maclay Hoyne will not interfere with the Cook county grand jury investigation into the “$100,000 baseball scandal.” Chief Justice McDonald, who order- ed the inquiry, will issue a statement later in’ the day answering Mr. Hoyne’s declaration that the action’ of the grand jury, was frank in hb statement that the injury would be continued. “We are well on our way in thrashing out this matter and we in- tend to go right along with it,” ™ Brigham said. Today is the last of} the jury on routine affairs. It is ex- pected that tomorrow it will be in- panelled as a special body. No Reason Today No “baseball session” was schedul- ed for today. However, it was re- ported that two other baseball players members of the White Sox, have been negotiating to tell what they know pf the grand jury plot and it is be lieved the grand jury will care for this contingency if the players desire to confess. One of the ironies of the “throw- ing” of the world series is related in the confession of “Happy” Felsch centerfielder. The one glaring error he made was accidental—others were j made purposely. Felsch said he re- ceiveed $5,000, which he found in his locker at the club house, but that “he never had a chance to really help When he made the one glaring error, other players warned him not to be so, “raw” he said. Felsch said he had been =i Hartley Henry RB. L.

He confirmed the confessions of Cicotte and Jackson. John Heydler, president of | the National League, and John McGraw manager of the New York Giants told .the jury details of the: Lee Magee and Hal Chase cases and also concerning the dropping of Heinie Zimmerman. McGraw was request- ed to return Tuesday and bring Fred Toney, New York pitcher, and Benny Kauff, outfielder, with him. Heydler was asked to appear again at his convenience after the world series. Raids by federal and state officials n McLean county yesterday afternoon resulted in the confiscation of a large quantity of moonshine mash and noonshine whiskey, the officers said ulter returning to Bismarck today. William Hanks, fede officer, in charge of the par ate’s attorney John Williams, Sheriff Ole Stefferud, state officers E. L. Watkins and Harry Bohert were leaders in the party. Three separate automobile excursions were conducted into various parts of he county. Results of the rais were given out as follows: Christ Bauch, farmer near Colehar- sor, 30 gallons moonshine mash, and uso cream can full taken. Frederick Emen, farmer near Cole- harbor, two quarts modnshine taken. Jacob Mehloff, farmer near Colehar- bor, ten gallons. Al Muesse, three gallons mash. Adam Klein, north of Wilton, 10 gallons molasses and grain mash. Tony Orben, 10 miles south of Dog- den, 40 gallon barrel of mash; 20 gal- on barrel of mash, one pint finished moonshine; one quart fruit wine, cooker for still. Jim M uves, south of Dogden, sev- empty bottles. No charge made. ick Postovit, nothing found. Of- icials asserted they had _ evidence against him on which they could base » charge. Otto Hebner and -Pladitz Novitogki, south of Dogden, cream can cooker without coil, another with leavings of Jury Hears McGraw McGraw is said to have told the jury that he dropped Hal _ Chase from his club after President Heydler had told him Magee had confessed that Chase bribed him to throw games. He said he had heard of many other gambling activities of Chase’s before the Magee cases. Zimmerman was dropped from ‘qe New York team, McGraw is said to have told the jury, because informa- tion had come to the New Yorh manager that the third baseman of- fered Benny Kauff $500 to help throw games. “I believe Kauff was innocent,” said McGraw, “but I got rid of Chase and Zimmerman, even though I knew it would seriously injure my team, because I''didn't want such men on the club.” Heydler’s testimony was largely the interview he gave newspapt men Sunday night telling of his pri- vate investigaton; how Comiskey had told him a year ago he suspected some of the White Sox players and how he and William Veeck, presi- dent of the Chicago Cubs, had ob- tained a confession from Lee Magec. “One incident in Magee’s case is amusing,” said Heydler, “for while | think he tried to throw this game he really helped to win it. “In July, 1918, Magee was playing second for Cincinnati against Bos- ton. He came to bat with two out and hit an easy grounder which took | a bad bounce and he was safe. He| ° was ordered “to steal second and! ambled down.

BASEBALL PROBE: on the hand when a woman tried to; the Wilton country; TRUE PURPOSE. OF STATE BANK NOT FOLLOWED |Farmer Doesn’t Get Full Due from Bank, Shown by Offi- cial Statement SMALL LOANS ON FARMS Even If All Loans Are Bona Fide and Not to Favorites Farmers are Left Out The Bank of North Dakota, under ts present system and management, l apparently has made little effort to comply to the fullest extent possible the chief purpose for which it was created—providing long-time = farm loans. i This is shown on the face of the latest statement of the director-gen- eral, a statement unchecked by any elective official of the state. Just how great is the failure of the bank to meet this duty to farmers is not shown in the statement. Under the list of loans on real estate may be in- cluded loans to itague enterprises. and doubtless includes such a loan as the $50,000 loan made in Golden Val- ley county to an uncle of Congress nian Baer, who does ‘not live in’ North Dakota. The statement of the director-gen- eral shows loans on real estate amounting to $2,894,015. The law c Dakota conta “It shall not ? of Norti this provision: however, loan on reai estate security more than thirty per cent of its capital, nor in addition thereto, more than twenty percent oi its deposits. Additional funds, that may be required for such real estate loans, shall be procured from the sale of state bonds as may be provided by law.” The capital of the Bank of North Dakota was fixed at $2,000,000. Bonds for this amount were issued, and im- mediately the bank began clipping coupons and marking them up o credit, although the bonds were not actually sold. The » deposits in the bank, in the latest statement, are shown to be over $16,000,000. Under the provisions of the law, the bank could at this time have real estate loans amounting to about $4,000,000, whereas it falls far short of this amount. No bonds have heen sold, and on the present money market probably shall not be. One loan. was made by the bank at 7 per cent interest. pau | of North Dakota can hope for little aid from the Bank of North Dakot. under the present management, w! is steering farther away than ever from a rural credits institution to an industrial bank. | If the entire amount of the real estate loans of the Bank of North Da- kota were bona fide, it would not ap- proach half the amount of money loaned to farmers by the Board of University and School lands, which is operated at practically no overhead expense. Under the present system of the bank it is converting into “profits” interest money denied local govern- ments--with the deduction of a huge overhead expense of nearly $100,000:a ear, STATE BANKERS TAX OFFICE T0 BE MAINTAINED Gordon Cox, Depufy Tax Com- missioner, Resigns to Have Charge of Local Branch The North Dakota Bankers* assc tion is to open a branch office in Bi marck. it was announced today.

In one corner there is Kermit Roose- } velt, son of the fighting father, In the other there is W. Harriman, son of KE. H. Harriman, who, in his day, had a reputation for dealing punishing body blows. The two young men are at it ham- mer and tongs, but it seems likely the quarrel will be settled not by tisticufts but by long and tedious liti- t between the Har- ‘iman interests aud the Hamburg- American Line s retort- ad that the agreement provides every legitimate protection for American in- sts. c ter Vireworks Missing But the quarrel between the two striplings cks the fireworks that cha rized the spectacular clash between their fathers when the late Colonel Roosevelt was president the nation's lea railroad magnate. 1t was on that on that the former coined one best-known phrases.

Roosevelt, who is associated with the latter two, insists that they have no intention of evading any taxes and hints that the Harriman interests in- formed the government of the trans- action in order that the money might be tied up. In that way Roosevelt and his friends would be hindered in buying ships and competing with the Harriman-Hamburg-American nation. ‘3ismarck People Given Oppor- tunity to Attend Night Session The state Baptist convention wil’ come to a Close tomorrow evening The session this evening will again he open to the public. “The Challenge of le! the New Day,” will be the subject o! combi-| ay address hy the Rev. $.
