CHICAGO GRAND JURY WILL PUSH INQUIRY i Chicago, Sept'. MO. Positive assur ance was given today that the objections of State's Attorney Maclay Hoyne will not interfere with the Cook county grand jury investigation Into the 1010 world's series baseball bribery scandal. Chief Justice Charles A. McDonald, who ordered the Inquiry, said he would issue a statement later in the day nn swering Mr. Hoyno's declaration that the actions of the grand jury hnd been Illegal. Judge McDonnld conferred with I'dwln J. Itnber nud other assistant state's attorneys who have been work ing on the investigation before prepara tion of his statement. Harry II. Hrigham, foreman of tlm grand jury said the investigation woulfl. continue. "We are well on our way in thrashing out this mnttcr and we intend to go right ulong with it," Mr. Hrig ham sold. Today is the jury's last ou routine affairs. It is expected that to morrow it will be impaneled as n special 'wdy. No "baseball bession" was sche duled for- today. However, it was reported that two other baseball players, members of the Chicago White Sox, hod been negotiat ing to tell what they knew of the world's (cries plot. It was believed the grand jury would arrange to take care of this contingency should the players desire to confess. Kddle Cicotte in his statement to the grand jury, said that Kelsch got ?."000 for his share in the alleged conspiracy, but the statement credited to Felsch yes terday said that only one inlsplay could have been charged to him in the series and that tho muff of a fly ball was unin tentional. John J. McOrnw, mannger of the New York Giants, who wns examined by the grand jury yesterday, left for New York, but is expected to return Tues day with Benny Kauff aud Fred Toncy, munhers of his club. Kauff is nlleged to have been in volved in "throwing" a game Inst sum mer ou a deal with Heinle Zimmerman. Toney's nosslblc connection with tho Investlsntion was not announced. Indictments, It is said, may Iw brought ngnlnst three more ball player nnu six or sevyn gamblers. A man named Brown, of New York, and "Sport" Sullivan, of Ilohton, were named in the confession to the grnnd wry jehterrtay of Claude Williams as the men who paid over to him tho money for himself and Jon .Tucksnn for their share In the world a f-erles "throw ing." Williams; said they were repre sentatives of the gambling ring which wns planning the coup. The statement credited to Felrh said Ihnt he wns going to get Buck Weaver to go to the stnte attorney's office anil get through with all this." eaver, 1.0 far, has denied any participation in "fixing" the series, but he was one of the players suspended by President Comiskey when Clcotte's confession aa made. Alfred S. Austrian, attorney for the White Sox Club, declared nvertuim had been made to him by some of the suspended players who have not yet cnnfesed, but "wish to tell what they know." "I can promise almost definitely thnt these men will go before the grand jury and mnkc detnllcd statements," -aid AuMrlnn. The testimony of President John a. neydler, of the Nntional League, be fore tho grand jury yesterday nlso led to tho summoning of members of the National League clubs, it was said. He told persons outside the graud jury rooms that he had talked freely con cerning the circumstances which result ed last year in the release of Hal Chase, of the ("Slants, nnd Lee Magee, of the Cubs, He also said ho submitted affi davits regarding tho bribe controversy between "Itube" Benton and "Buck" Herzog, Benton already has been be fore the grand jury once and was told h would be called, nogln. After his tes tlmony Benton deelarc'd ho had been Wd by Philip Hahn, of Cincinnati, thnt Cicotte, Williams, fluwlil and Jack son were involved in "throwing" the 1010 series. Tiny Room Settlement The statement by Williams and tho newspaper reports of relsch b conies lon tallied with those made yesterday by Eddio Clcotto und Joe Jackson. They revealed that last Tear's world's rlen was settled In a tiny room in a fcniall South S do hotel. In this room, occupied by Kddle Cicotte, once the American League's leading pitcher, the denl was made wrecked a world's championship team and brought some of the greatest idols in IiaRfhall to disgrace. According to the sworn statement made by Claude Williams, who lost tnree of the world scries games, ne unit "Chick" Oandll, "Buck" Weaver, Eddie Cicotte, who lost two games, and "Happy" Folscb, whoso error helped Iosa nnn fnmn mpf. hprn to harter with "Browu" and "Sullivan" to lose the games. "After wn had agreed thnt we were willing to 'throw' the series," Williams (aid, "wo went out one at a time nnd made our bargains with Brown and Sullivan." Williams said he received $10,000 and that he gnvo $5000 to Jackson, a state ment which tallies with the confession made y Jackson yesterday. He was supposed, to set $20,000, ho bold. Fejsch,. accoVdlnjf to reports of bis Rcih Won't Surrender World's Championship Manager Pnt Moran nnd all tho Cincinnati players, without excep tion, declare thnt at the time of tho world's series last year, nnd until now, they had no Idea other than that they were winning on tho level., They say that at no'tlme wns any intimation conveyed to them that any crooked work was being done. August Herrmann, president of the Beds, wns asked what, under the circumstances now laid bare, the club was going to do about the title It won last year. . , "Will you surrender the cham pionship or do you still consider your claim to victory beyond dis pute?" Mr. Herrmann was asked. He replied : "I have never given such n ridi culous question nny thought. Wo won tho Nutlonnl Lenguo pennant fairly aud squarely, nnd had to beat a team or two to do It that wero stronger than the White Sox, play ing nt their best nnd on the level.

His one glaring error of the series when he dropped n fly ball was nn ac cident, nnd ho was warned afterward by the other players not to be so awkward in making his misplays, he was quoted ns saying. The outfielder declared he didn't want to "get in on tho deal" at first, but the other players nt the hotel .conference told him It would be easy. He said he had been promised $20,000, but wds double-crossed. Abo Attel and Omiclll were the ones he believed guilty of tho double-crossing. Felsch denied that the White Sox had thmwn any games this season, and said tho men implicated in the bribery had felt all sensou they would be exposed sooner or later. He confirmed the con fessions of Clcotto nnd Jackson, made yesterday. Mcfi-raw Is sold to have told the jury that he dropped Hal Clfase from his club after President Iteydler bud told him Magee had confessed that Chase bribed him to throw games. He said ho had heard of manv other rnmhllntr activities of Chase's before the Magee case. Zimmerman was dropped from the Now York team, McGraw rs said to have told the jury, because informa tlon hnd come to the New York man jiger that the third baseman offered Kenny Kuuu .0() to help throw games. "I believe Kauff was innocent," said MctfJraw, "but I got rid of Chase and Zimmerman, even, thougn I knew It woukl seriously injure my team, because I didn't want such men on the club."

Look at them do they glisten as they should? Do they feel clean? If not, try this new method and remove that film. That film does this: Film is that viscous coat you feel. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. The ordinary tooth paste does not end it. Brushing does not keep teeth free. Month after month it may linger to do a ceaseless damage. Most tooth troubles are now traced to film. And, despite the tooth brush, they are constantly increas ing. It is the film-coat that discolors, not the teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs "breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Years devoted to it Dental science has for years sought to end that film. Its baleful effects make it supremely important. Ways have now been found to fight film.

Mr. Watson's statement was as fol lows: "In the selection of a successor to Superintendent Garber, would not Philadelphia do well to take note of the experience of other great cities of the country? "A few years ago the city of Cleve land wan in need of n superintendent of schools. It made a systematic cauvust of the superintendents of the country. Having found tho man, who by vote of his fellow superintendents was best fitted for the position. Cleveland promptly offered him n larger salary than hail over been paw to n superin tendent of schools in the country; nnd It secured him. "The Chicago Board of Education recently, under similar circumstances, appointed an Impartial committee of cltlcns to recommend a man for super intendent of schools. After n thorough study of tbc field to determine what material was available, thN committee recommended the appointment of a mnn uho had made a distinguished record in school administration, and recom mended further thnt he be offered n salury 00 per cent higher than any salary paid up to thnt time to a super intendent of schools lu the United States. "This city can afford to pay what ever price may be necessary to secure the best superintendent to be found in the entire country, and it cannot afford to do less than tha. If there is nny difference in efficiency between the man who would naturally come under con sideration for the superlntendency of the Philadelphia schools even ten per cent difference would it not seem to be good business to double the salary paid heretofore, if necessary, to secure that extrn 10 per cent efficiency and thereby save 10 per cent of $1.'1,000,000, THE PEPSODENT Dept A, 1104 S.
