GUARANTYFUND CALLS AUDITOR To Determine Amount of De- posits Due Under Law The Guaranty Fund Commission, in charge of the fund to pay depositors of closed banks, called in its chief auditor, R. T.

The petition being circulated fol- lows “We the undersigned patrons of the Bismarck public schools and tax- payers protest against the proposed plan to move the seventh and eighth grades from the Richholt and Wil- liam Moore schools to the Will | school and urge upon the members | of the board to retrain the various grades as they are now located with the exception that two of the four teachers now employed at the Wil- liam Moore school be transferred to | the Roosevelt school to establish there seventh and eighth grades. “This arrangement in our opinion would place all the schools on an even basis. To put the seventh and eighth grades exclusively at the Will school would mean that many children would have to walk exces- sive distances and in cold weather would be actually deprived of school facilities.” GOVERNOR OF WYOMING DIES Succumbs After an Operation For Appendicitis Cheyenne, Wyo., Oct. 2—(By the A.

This represented an over- night advance of more than three cents a bushel, with all deliveries of wheat and rye here touching a new high for the season. Urgency of for- eign demand for breadstuffs was the chief apparent cause. Subsequently wheat continued to ascend, influenced by estimates that exporters had taken 2;000,000 bushels or more of wheat today for shipments to Europe and hud also acquired one million bushels of rye.

The only explanation I can give is that they are a couple of saps.

Mr. Landis was not inclined _ to discuss any angles of the situation. He indicated that he did not have any immediate plans so far as fur- ther steps in his investigation in the scandal were concerned.

P.) —Jimmy O'Connell, Giant outfield- er, expelled by Baseball Commission- er Landis last night after he had confessed that he had offered a $500 bribe to infielder Heinie Sand of the Philadelphia Nationals to “throw” last Saturday’s game, today declared he had been made the “goat” and that other members of the New York team were the instigators of the bri- bery plot. Cozy Dolan, Giant coach, who also was expelled us a result of O’Con- nell’s confession, George Kelley, cap- tain Frank Frisch, and outfielder Ross Young all spoke to him con- cerning the bribery, O'Connell said, adding that they gave him to under- nd that the entire Giant team was in” on it. ‘They were all in on it,” the young “Iam being made the goat, that’s all.” O'Connell reported with other members of the team at the Polo Grounds at 10 o'clock this morning, declaring that he had not been “of- fi ally or unofficially” notified of supension. “I didn’t know what else to do,” he explained. Discusses Details He frankly discussed the details of the attempted bribery. O'Connell said that the bribery plan was first broached to him in the Giants’ dressing room before last Saturday’s game. Dolan, he said, asked him if he was well acquainted with Sand. O'Connell said he told him he was, saying they were both Californians and had known each other for a long time. Dolan then said according to O'Connell: “If you ‘can get Sand to let down in today’s game, tell him there's $600 in it for him.” “I usked Dolan where the money was to come from,” continued O’Con- nell, and he said: “Well, the Giants are all going to pitch in and make up the purse. I agreed and said I would see Sand before the game.” Not Strange Asked if he did not consider it strange that such an offer should be made by a fellow team member O'Connell replied: “No, I didn’t. Do- lan said all the other players of the team were in on it and I said to my- self, ‘If all the fellows are in on this, there is nothing strange about it, and it is all right for me, too!” O'Connell said that a short time after Dolan made the bribery pro- posal to him Ross Young entered the club house and asked if Dolan had said anything to him: “I told him ‘yes’.” the young out- fielder continued, and Young said: “You go ahead, because its all right.” “Then Frank Frisch came up to him,” said O’Connell and also told me to tell Sand that if he would throw the game he could have anything he wanted. I don’t remember exactly what Kelley said to be but I do re- member he talked to me about the thing and that he gave me the idea that he was in on it, too.” Reported To Dolan O’Connell then said he reported to ; Dolan in the dugout the result of his colloquy with Sand, whereupon the coach told him to “forget it.” O'Connell said he then sought Sand, finding him on the “baseball field during the pre-game practice. “I #ent up to him and I said ‘Sand, who are you fellows for?’,” he related. Sand said: “We're not for any- body—we are finishing out the sea- son. I then told Sand that if he would not “bear down” in the day’s game it would be worth $500 to him and he said he wouldn’t do it and walked away. “Nothing doing,” Sand said. RECALL 1919 SCANDAL Chicago, Oct. 2.—Baseball’s biggest scandal, which followed the 1919 world series between the Chicago White Sox and the Cincinnati Reds, was recalled here by Baseball Com- missioner Landis’ suspension of two members of the New York Giants on bribery charges. Eight members of the then world champion White Sox were indicted by a Cook county (Chicago) grand jury nearly a year after the series on charges of conspiracy to throw the series to Cincinnati and accepting bribes as high as $10,000 to throw games.
