CINCINNATI, June 9—The name of Hq! Chase, former first baseman of the Cincinnat! Nationals, dominated the cross-examindtion of Lee Mugee to-day during the closing hours-of the trial in the. United States District Court of the suit for $9,500 brought by him against the Chicago National League Club. Attorney Murray Seasongood, rep- resenting the defendant, questioned Magee minutely regarding his rela- tions with Chase during the time that they played together on the Cinciri- nati team in 1978, “Isn't it true ‘that you wanted to get Chase ut of the Big League,” Attorney Seasongood asked the wit- ness, “I may have meant Chase, and I niay have meant an official when L told baseball writers that ‘if I jump off the bridge, somebody bas got to jump with me," Magee answered, “You knew that Chase was crooked ball player?” “Yes.” “Is it true that Chase cut his hand purposely 2” “Yes; that is what he told me.” “Did Chase tell you that he would fix games in New York?” “Yes, he said that he would fix it for the Reds to lose.” “What did Chase say to Jimmy Costello when you and he went to see him on the morning of July 25, 19187” “[ merely heard him say that he wanted to make a bet.” “Did Chase tell Costello to bet the money on Boston?’ “1 didn’t hear it.” Magee dented positively that ho knew that the bet was made against the reds and declared that “a maa ought to be put out of the league who would bet against his own team.” ‘The witness denied that he had told President William Veeck of the Cni- cago Nationals and President. John Heydlbr of the National League, that he had committed a crime against baseball and repudiated the ‘mid night confession,” mentioned in the testimony of Veeck and Hoydicr. The case will reach the jury by to- night. * 5 pe erate Ra EX-BANK CLERKS, ARE HELD. Forging $2,000 Check eting Proceeds, Hamer, William both of James LF Feldman.

The one thing with, which he perhans wasn't fa- millar was the fact that the box had attached to it an automatic alarm. He chose an hour, evidently, when Mrs, Caruso was known to be out of her bedroom ind the servants were downstalrs, It was at 10:80. o'clock last night when the famous tenor’s wife was sitting in thé parlor on the first floor, sewing, with her sister-In- law, Mrs. Park Benjamin jr, as her companion, Mrs. Caruso's bedroom is on, the second floor in one of the wings at the side of the house, It opens (through a door on to a balcony which is reached from the outside by a stairway, leading from the garden, The thief went up the stairway and found the screen door hooked on the inside, He cut away part of the screen and let himself into the bed- room by lifting the hook, He crossed thé bedroom to another apartment where the box was kept, obtained the kev and started to open the box The moment he touched the box, the alarm started a bel! inside ring- ing violently. ’ This was heard by Mrs, Caruso and Mrs, Benjamin, who started for the stairs. ‘The thief then grabbed the box, which was of wood and less than a foot square. He ran back through the bedroom gwindow and down the balcony stairs through a little flower garden and to the back of one of the garages, the bell ringing furiously all the while. The servants were aroused Immedi- atelyby Mrs, Caruso and lights ap- peared in all the upper rooms. One of the chauffeurs named Fitagerald told the police that he heard the bell ringing and rushed out into the dark- ness with his revolver in bis hand He thought he saw the figure of a man and fired three times in its direction, He followed, guided by the tell-tale bell and then the ringing ceased. A little later he stuifbled over the empty box. Not a stone had been left. Mr. Caruso te | in Havana.

CHICAGO, June 9.--Not until the convention had adjourned this after- noon did it occur-to~the~Jebneon forces that perhaps the Senate gom- bination in charge of the convention had put something over on them in the shape of an addition to the order The addition was announced by the Com- of business of the convention, mittee on Rules. At present the order of business runs In ten sections, the final being the nomination of the candidate for} Vice Pregident. The Rules Commit- tee added Section 11, called “Un- finished Business,” designed to clean up anything left undone in the reg- ular order. Now for the nigger in the wood- pile. Under the old order of bus- iness the platform must be adapt fore the nominations, are made. With the new rule of “unfinished business” adopted the Johnson peopte figure that the .engineers of the convéntion plan to keep the reso- lutions committee ip session and proceedings along until the delegwdtes get uneasy and then sud- denly move that the report of the committee on. resolutions be put down into the order of “unfinished business” and the nominations be ta- ken up at once. This would mean the nominees would have to wait for the platform. ‘The possibility of the shift has made the Johnson people boil over, Any- thing but the old order doesn’t suit them at all, because they figured on gaining great advantage in a debate over the platform prior to the nom- inations. Anyhow, the situation this after- noon Is more complicated than it was this morning.
