RECENT PROBE BASIS ((fWould Also Put Time Limit on Complaints; Risberg Still Maintains He Told Truth. (Associated Press Leased Wire.) CHICAGO, Jan. 13. Four nddi i Uoiib to baseball's written code, three dealing with betting, and an ' other establishing a rule of limita tion covering alleged baseball of fenses, have been suggested by Commissioner K. M. Landis, inci dent to his exoneration of twenty j baseball players accused of crook edness In games played ten years ago. Tho commissioner, in offering Ihpm. expressed the hope they would be adopted by representa tives of major and minor leagues who meet next Monday at French Lick Springs, Ind. Three of the proposed rules would provide spflc punishment for wagering on games or contri bution to or accepting a bribe or reward in connection with' any league game. It was the collection of an $850 pool by members of tho White Sox team of 1917 and Its paymento Detroit Tigers that brought about the inquiry which was closed yesterday by the Lan dis pronouncement. Suggested Rules. Ono of the three rules suggested would provide a year's ineligibility for any player or club management "offering or giving any gift or re ward to the players or manage ment of another club for services rendered, or supposed to have been rendered in defeating a com peting club." A year's ineligibility also would he the penalty under another rule for betting on any games in which Hip better had no part. Permanent ineligibility is the penalty the commissioner suggest ed for belting on any game in which the better is a player, or in any way connected. The fourth suggestion by the commissioner would write into baseball rules a regulation similar to the statute of limitations famil iar in law. Under this rule, al leged offenses in baseball would he outlawed after a prescribed term of years. Such a regulation would have made impossible the investigation just closed, which dealt almost entirely with games played ten years ago, and which Ran John son, president of the American league, said previously had been investigated and disposed of by Landis. Swede Risberg, back with his cows on the dairy farm he oper ates near Hochester, Minn., vouch safed the information last 'night that Insofar as the precipitation of any more baseball scandals is concerned, he is "through." 'Never again, said Kisberg. U wouldn't do any good." Risberg said ho had expected the decision would whltewnsh the "lilies" ' as he called the players implicated, but he added: "I told the truth."

Count Ludwlg Salm's separation suit against his wife, the former Milli cent Rogers, Standard Oil heiress has been settled out of court, tho New York American says today in a copyrighted story. The count will receive $325,000 from his wife's father, Colonel Henry H. Rogers, the American says, and will be given partial custody of his small son, Peter. A divorce suit in Paris is declared by the American to be a possibil ity. Count Salm married Miss Rogers, heiress to $40,000,000 at the muni cipal building on January 8, 1924, against the wishes of her parents. They sailed for a belated honey moon to Europe on January 26, af tor efforts to affect a reconcilia tion with the bride's family failed. W Will V1mP.

SPEED LIMIT ARGUED Lawmakers Object to In creasing Pace for Stages Urge Repeal Ex cess License, SALEM, Jan. 13. (By special correspondence to tho News-Review). Projecilon of income tax so shortly after the beginning of the session in line with Pierce s retiring messuge has brought out a very strong expression for and against this issue. It was presumed that defeat of the Dennis resolu tion making it impossible to enact income tax legislation before 1940 would, in combination with defeat of the grange tax measure in No vember, delay further attempts at such laws. This apparently is not the case. Grange leaders with their friends in the senate and house got quick action. Income tax is a question not de cided. Lobbyists are here on both sides and while the opening of the legislature was peaceful, from the flag on the south wing of the capl tol to the refectory in the base ment, things are active In between. Topics mentioned In both guber natorial messages are being pre sented In form of resolutions, memorials, house and senate bills on subjects of varying Importance. Among them is a house joint resolution by Claude Buchanan of Benton relating to increased salary of county officers, providing that the increase shall not prevail dur ing the term for which the officer was elected. This will be submit ted to voters. Creating state text book com mission state superintendent, four members, appointive by governor, term four years, only one member from a county.

Changing the limit for speed of automobiles from 30 to 35 miles on highways involves motor stages as well as privately operated cars. It is con tended by some legislators that danger from higher limit on heavy stages would increase risks of op eration and safety of passengers beyond the point whore time is more valuable than snfety. Two bills are before tho senate on this subject. Changing the age limit from 1G to 18 years for youthful notes an interesting coincidence in this connection. The first trans continental telephone conversations took place just 12 years ago, The pioneer lino from coast to coast was dedicated between New York and Sun Francisco, January 25, 1816. '.: It Is probable that tho formal Inauguration of service on this new line will be preceded by one or two conversations from Port land and Seattle to Now York be tween telephone executives. There will be no elaborate ceremonies as I ho line is in demand for use by the business world. One or two features of the con struction of tills new line is of spe cial interest. Tho "cross arms" on the telephone poles supporting the wire represent a ' total of 1.240,000 board feet of dressed lum ber, which would fill one freight train of about 60, cars; 90,000 poles support tho new line, it would require a train of 1200 cars nr twelve trains of 100 cars to transport these poles.

FLASHES OF LIFE I Dispatch building. Mr. Wolfe, who, In addition to being a publisher was a banker and shoe manufacturer, apparently became dizzy and toppled over to the street, five stories below. (Associated l'ross Leased Wire.) LONDON, Jan. 13. A keen con troversy has been aroused within the Church of England over the proposed revision of the prayer book, which some members believe will open the way to the Introduc tion of ceremonies similar to those of tho Roman Catholic church. It was to protest against such a possibility that a score of clergy men and about 100 laymen and lay women marched with banners yes torday to the Lambeth Palace, where the bishops aro meeting to reach their final conclusion on prayer book revision. Numerous conferences hnve been held to hear and discuss var ious suggestions, and the bishops now are tackling the puzzling problem of how to please all tho parties in the church. One of the banners carried by the marchers yesterday said- 'Alteration may wipo out the work of the reforma tion." High churchmen desire that the bread and wine remaining after communion be retuined In the church for purposes similar to that in the Roman Catholic ador ation of the host, while other mem bers object to this. The. responsibility resting on the prelates Is undoubtedly a grave one, as there is fear that what ever their decision is, it may lead to a momentous crisis surpassing any that has convulsed the church since tho 10th century. The pre diction is made that if either Anglo-Catholic or evnngelical opin ion is dissatisfied, a - definite cleavage n the church will re sult. Absolute secrecy has been pre served respecting the proposed re vision and the proofs have been seen only by the bishops and by a few printers who are under oath not to divulge the contents.
