The Catholic episcopate of Mexico City “with the knowledge that inter- national relations with the United States would be severely strained or unfavorably modified beginning January 1, showing that they still are traitors to the country,” ordered the Cathol: lergy to induce the largest possible number of men to gevalt against the Mexican govern- ent, the statement says.

TEXAS QOUNTY DISCONTINUES COURT SESSION Will Wait Until ‘Ma’ Fergu- son’s Term Expires Because of Many Pardons: Austin, Tex. J: 12—()—With clemency proclamations issued by Governor Miriam A. Ferguson stand- ing at 3,177—a new record for this state—one Texas county today had discontinued its criminal calendar until the expiration of her two-year term January 18, next. The post- ponement was granted when the trict attorney at San Antonio an- nounced a man convicted there last week had already been given a full pardon. Meanwhile, the state legislature which convened yesterday was con- sidering a bill introduced by Senator Thomas B. Love of Dallas to repeal the measure enacted two years ago granting amnesty to former-Gover- nor James E. Ferguson, who was im- eached in 1917. The bill restoring ‘erguson’s political rights was pass- ed, and signed by his wife shortly after:she was 'inafigurated. She made her husband’s “vindiction” the chief issue of her-campaign. Senator Live declared th law was sed in violation of th state constitution and that “it mi represents. the ideas and standards ‘i¢lal conduct of the people of ” amnesty 01 ‘exe: Move Would Block Aspirations Ferguson, who been mentioned as a candidate for United States sen- ator, would be ineligible to hold pub- lic office if the measure was r pealed. white District Attorney C.

PROPOSED LAW LESS DRASTIC THAN IN N. ¥ Bill Here Would Specify Kinds of. Crime Which Would Bring Life Terms __ The proposed law providing for life lnprianeaset of habitual criminals will not be nearly as drastic os @ similar law already effective in New York state, according to Attorney General George Shafer. Shafer proposes to specify the kinds of felonies which would place a man permanently behind the bars after four convictions. probable, he indicated, that bootlegging will be one of the offenses climinated from considerati in counting the num- ber of convictions. This and numerous other bills will be considered’ by state’s attorneys when ‘they hold a convention here next week, An attempt willbe made at this session of the legislature to obtain passage of the act to prevent automobile theft advocated by the erican Bar Association, it would require registry of’ ownership und that a bill of sale be obtained and filed beforé a license could be ob- tained. One of its ober is to re- quire every automobile owner to we a proof of ownership. This would enable officials to make a bet- ter check on stolen automobiles by making them harder to dispose of. Prosecutors Favor It Final action on the proposal to or- nize e estate bureau of criminal lentification will be taken at the meeting.

(P)—A total of 690 persons, mostly children, have died in Tokyo in the last 10 days: as the result of the epidemic of influen- za_which is sweeping Japan. Since last November there have been 2,368 deaths attributed to the disease. Washington, Jan, 12—UP)—The tide of the present European influenza epidemic is not expected to sweep across to this side of the Atlantic ocean and precipitate a repetition of the 1918 scourge that took a toll of thousands of lives. While on guard for any dangerous outbreak here, the Untted States pub- lic health service feels confident the European epidemic will not find root in this country through immigrants ppreciable extent. There is prevalence of influenza in America toady, they admitted, but it is not past two years. Having inquired of the League of Nations concerning the European sit- uation, the American health authori- ties express the belief that the in- fluenza on that continent is mostly of a mild, but particularly contagious nature and the fatalities generally have resulted from complications from the disease. Three Nations Aifected The League of Nations, however, has pictured somewhat of a serious situation in three nations, S' land, France and England. land has received the brunt of the epidemic and has_ been obliged to close its schools and establish a cur- few in places of public entertain- ment, Spain also had a severe outbreak but details are lacking. In other countries the disease is mild with but few deaths. While the European outbreak is widespread, the American health au- thorities pointed out, there is little basis for comparison with the 1918-19 jepidemic when, from December 28 to .| January 5, 46 cities of the country alone had’a death tol! of 136,047. The public health officials have broadcast warnings, however, throughout the. United States, urging every: influenza p: nt to remain in bed even with a mild case in order to prevent complication: Little can be done at present to prevent any European immigrant suffering from a mild case entering this country without being quaran- tined for the disease. There’s no ruling for a qua: antine except when a fever or severe illness pparent.

Risberg and Gandil testified the White Sox, sloughed a series to Detroit in 1919 to pay the Tigers for sloughing the series of 1917, so the White Sox could edge out Boston in the tight race for the American League pen- j nant. | Commissioner Landis, in his deci- sion, said that beyond the statements lof Gandil, the record in the ease closed ‘nothing to the effect the raising of the,money was ever dis- cussed at a meeting of the players. Whether such a meeting actually took place is important only as to the question of credibility, the decision said. Landis’ Decision The decision in part, said: “In addition to the charge of sloughing the September 2 and 3, !1917, series, Risberg alleges that | Chicago sloughed to Detroit two of the, three game series at the close of the 1919 season. His only specific allegations are that he played out of position and that he believed that Gandil (and two other players out since 1920) also played n. Gandil corroborates . testifying that he played out of position (first saying: ‘I think it was two out of the three ball games’ and later saying ‘I probably played out of position in all three games’); that he noticed Risberg played out of position, so he figured he would 'do it also, without even « word be- tween him and Risberg or with any Chicago or Detroit players avout 1t. Of course this testimony by Gandil and Risberg is evidence to that ex- tent against them, but there is no evidence whatever supporting the charge involving any other Chicago player. “To some it_ntay seem inexpli- cable that Risberg and Gandil should implicate themselves _ in these alleged corrupt practices. Ob- viously that self implication may have heen conceived upon tl eory that ‘they have even incriminated themselves, so it must be true.’ How- ever, being already on the ineligible (Continued on page three.)
