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."

OFF LITIGATION
NEW YORK, Jan. 13. 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.

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.

Would Change Speed Limit
SALEM, Jan. 13. 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.

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.
