These observers profess to see the ; hornet's nest stirred up by Ban's suspension of Ty Cobb and Al Sim- mons of the Athletics thereby remov- | ing most of the sting from the ll-‘ tack of Mack's machine. Lifting of this suspension yesterday may smooth matters over temporarily, but there are unmistakable signs of un- rest, nevertHeless. The venerable and usually mild- nannered Connie Mack, for instance, bitterly resents the action against | iis two stars, during whose absence | the Athletics dropped three games in a row to Cleveland. Mack shat- | tered a few precedents when he de- ianded a hearing, took a fling at | the umpires as having *too much power” and criticized steps taken by Johnson. Whether the American league is | to have another of its periodfc show- | downs remains to be seen. The last cne on the schedule, involving John- | son and Commissioner Landis, was | epped by putting Johnson “on | leave” and appointing Frank Savin of | Detroit to handle the league's af- | fairs.

(57 INDICTMENTS BY MAINE JURY Men Tnvolved in Attack on Girl To Be. Tried Portland, Me, May 11 ®—The grand jury late yesterday returned a total of 137 indictments, 31 public. Indictments were reported against John'Flaherty, taxi driver, Guy Per- rin, and Thomas Maley in connec- tion with an alleged assault upon Ardelle Kirby, manicurist, February 23. Perrin and Maley are charged with criminal assault, while Flaher- ty is charged with assault and bat- tery and accessory before the fact. A count of assault with intent to kill two policemen was returned against Daniel Fallon, who attracted attention as a prisoner during the state prison scandal in 1925, while he was serving a sentence for man- laughter. Fallon w: arrested February 18 after 11 policemen had besleged the top floor of a house at 43 Myrtle street, for more than an hour. Richard Nelson Jackson, mnegro, faces three assault and Dbattery charges as a result of his activity in a house on Spring street, March 29. His alleged victims were Captain and Mrs. Richard F. McNabb and Olive Cannon. Jackson is at the state hospital in Augusta, to which he was committed for observation when his counscl announced that his defense would be insanity. Canada’s Wealth Is Said To Be About 22 Billion Ottawa, Ont., May 11 (A—Can- ada’s national wealth is estimated by the Dominion bureau of statistics at $22,000,000,000, which works out on the average of $2.525 per head. This is apart from unde- veloped natural resources. There are no accurate figures available as to what the national wealth was at confederation in 1867, but it is estimated at less than $1,500,000,000. It is now therefore about fourteen times what it was when Canada became a dominjon. Ontario owns about one-third, Quebec one-quarter, Saskatchewan about one-eighth of the national wealth, Fred Merkle li;g_ns As Manager of Reading Syracuse, Y. May 11 @ — Fred Merkle, former New York Glant star, has resigned as man- ager of the Reading club of the International leaguc.

Boschkey, former high official of the sect, in a deposi- tion taken here yesterday. Mrs. Boschkey once a member of the 12, the most powerful official group of Shiloh, the cult community, testified she left the place in 1910 after making an unsuccessful effort to obtain possession of her daughter. She claimed that after a quarrel with Mary Purnell, wife “King” her child was spirited away to Chicago. The woman has been sought for | vears by Michigan authorities as a naterial witness in an attempt to dethrone “King” Benjamin, who is | facing trial on statutery ~charges. Her depositions will be used in the David and distribution of its assets. RADIO STATION MAMES FREAKISH Move Started to Have Them Changed New York, May 11 (®—On the is difficult to feel any real affeclion for even the most lovable child if that child is known {only by a number of an unpronounc- able row of letters, the National | Association of Broadcasters today began preparations for a giant christening party in the int dustry of radio. Letters were sent to the owners | of all the 732 broadcasting stations in the country suggesting the advis- ability of scrapping the station call letters for announcement purposes and substituting for them names {which would have a more “friendly appeal” to the listening public. “Station call letters are really just a matter of identification for licens- ing purposes anyw sald L. §. Baker, executive secrotary of the | broadcasting assoclation. "When | [this method of designation was in- ugurated, broadcasting was still a of hope rather than accom- plishment. The letter system is |kood for intercommunication be- | {tween stations, just as all ships have ! call letters, but that's as far as it is good. “Imagine telling your friends that you are going to Europe this sum- | mer on the 216,801 or whatever the numerical designation of one of the floating hotels mdy be. It doesn't sound human. Boats have their li- cense numbers but they also have | names and people know them and | like them by their names. Even' Pullman cars have been given names to humanize them. i i “We belleve that it would bej much easier for broadcasting sta- tions to build up good will if they had names than it is for them with nothing to sct them apart but a string of senseless letters.” Some stations, he pointed out, had succeeded getting call letters | that stood for something and had! built up good will on what their let- ters mean. He acknowledged that considerable opposition to the plan was expected in the industry, but added: “We are convinced that they will come around to our idea that what | is best for the majority will prove | to be best for ecach.

MARITAL VAGATION 1S AGREED UPON Chicago Couple to Try Living Apart Awhile Chicago.

We would have taken a vacation before but just couldn't arrange it.” She sald she thought a “marital | vacation” much better than trial separation, and trial separation “in- finitely better” than divorce. “I think married people should take a litile time oft evers once in a while just to get their nerves in order.” Mrs. Forgan plans a trin hroad &oon.
