By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 12.— Commis- sioner Landis today joined the chorus of 35 base ball players in branding as “an absolute lie” the charges made by Swede Risberg and Chick Gandi! that the Detroit Tigers sloughed a four-game series to the White Sox in 1917 so that the White Sox could beat Hoston out in the tight race for the American League pennant. The commissioner in a 2,000-word decision completely exonerated all the accused players and decided that the “gift fund” of $850 raised by the "White Sox o reward the Tiger pitch- ers was not corrupt. He declared it was an act of impropriety, reprehensi- ble and censurable, but not an act of criminality. He said Risberg and mittee a letter from J. G. Yaden, pres- [lden! of the Federation of Citizens’ As- sociations, calling attention to a pro- spective vacancy on the Board of Edu- cation and advising that Washington should know of this in order that they might suggest candidates for the of- fice before the vacancy is filled. He referred to the resignation of Edwin C. Graham, not yet accepted, which became known today. AS ABSOLUTE LIE! Unnamed Jurist Accused. Representative Ralph Gilbert, Democrat, of Kentucky, then called attention to testimony. by Capt. Julius 1. Peyser, a former member of the school board, and a former woman member to the effect that candidates had been compelled to promise to do cerfain things before receiving ap- | pointment. It was stated specifically that a justice, unnamed, had pars ticipated in these demands upon prospective members. Mr. Hammer said he knew nothing about the truth or falsity of the charge, but that thet Gandil had only incriminated them- selves, but, being already on the in- eligible list, their story could not af- fect them; also that their story does not blacken the “lily whites.” James' Story Upheld. Commissioner Landis in his decision gives face to the story told by Bill! James, the former Tiger pitcher, that | the money was not paid as bribe for ! thrown games, but as a_reward for Detroit pitchers beating Boston in a | crucial series played in the 1917 per- nant races. That beating helped the White Sox in winning the pennant, and the stories of the 30-odd accused players were that the money was paid | only as a present for good work | against the Red Sox. Commissioner Landis’ decision eriti- cized _the deal, but the decision failed (Continued on Page 2, Column 2.) HEFLIN ACCUSES OFFICIALS IN DEATH Declares Inquest Was Not Held in Jess Smith’s Case. 0il Trial Jury Hit. Charging that the coroner of the District of Columbia did not hold an inquest into the death of Jess Smith, who was found dead in his room here several years ago, Senator Heflin, Democrat, of Alabama, reopened the discussion of Smith’s death on the floor of the Senate this afternoon. The senator from Alabama. also de- clared that he wrote a letter to Dis. trict Attorney Gordon on Saturday telling him of information he had re- ceived to the effect that Jess Smith left a will in which a bequest of $25.000 was made to Harry Daugherty, and which, according to Senator Heflin, also named Daugherty as executor. Senator Heflin said he asked the district attorney If such a will ever was probated, and if so where, and whether Daugherty was the adminis- trator. Renews Attack on Jury. Senator Heflin had begun his speech by renewing his attacks on the ver- dict of the local jury in the Fall-Do- heny conspiracy case, declaring that he was being criticised by certain newspapers around the country for ex- pressing his opinion of the verdict in the Senate. He later switched off to the Jess Smith death by saying: “A few days ago I saw in some paper that the district attorney and chief of police had said that if I had any evidence about the death of Jess Smith and would furnish it they would be glad to investigate. What do you think of that, Senators? They want me to furnish the evidence.” Senator Heflin then reiterated hie previous assertion that he believed that Jess Smith was murdered and that it was the function of the local authorities to do .the investigating. “Why did the coroner refuse to hold an_inquest,” Semator Heflin contin- ued. He indicated that he was riot sfied with the decision of the coro- ntinued on Page 2, Column 8.) | CAR INSPECTOR KILLED BY BLOW FROM BRAKE Dennis A.

Reid, Re- publican, of Iliinois, chairman of the subcommittee on education, agreed to have the subcommittee investigate these charges. " When Chairman Zihlman was questioned regarding specific meas- ures laid aside in deference to the demands of the House leadership that controverted measures should not be called up, he named the workmen's compensation bill, the Gasque school board bill and the incorporation of non-profit making organizations. He stated also that Representative Blan- ton has served notice he intends to file 2 minority report on the park po- lice pay bill. Gasque Protests Delay. Representative Gasque protested that if the District committee give the people of the District to under- stand that they need hope for no les- islation except that unanimously agreed to by the committee, the citi- 2ens of Washington will be “in a very bad fix.” Mr. Gasque stated that ex- tensive hearings at considerable ex- pense have been held on his measure and that it has the support of about 90 per cent of the organizations and citizens in Washington. He demanded that forceful representation should bs made to the House leadership in or- der that the House members might be given an opportunity to vote upon this measure. The District committee ordered a favorable report on a bill sponsored by Minority Leader Garrett authoriz- ing the sal the director of public buildings and parks of the National Capital of a small tract of land at the margin of Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway for the eonstruction of a | chufeh and provision for proper in gress and egress to and from such building.
