NEW YORK, Sept. 27. Brooklyn
won the championship of the National
league although idle, as a result of
New York being: defeated by Boston
here in the second game of their double-header.
All three leaders in . the American
race won today. Cleveland, which
has a half-game lead over Chicago,
has six games to play and if the In
dians win half of them the White Sox
must win their three remaining games
with St. Louis to get first place.
While it is. mathematically possible
for New York to pass Cleveland, the
Yankees can only tie with Chicago.
The local team has two games to play
and by winning them while the two
western terms lose all their contests
New York would be on even terms
with Chicago and a game ahead of
Cleveland. A victory by the Chicago
White Sox or a defeat for the Yankees
will put the eastern team out of the
race.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 27. Before a
throng which taxed the capacity of
the Baltimore armory and voiced its
pprobation in repeated crashes of
applause. Senator Harding outlined
tonight his policy for sound business
and rehabilitated American industry.
Every place in the armory was
taken and many were standing when
Senator Harding arrived. At his ap
pearance the audience rose and
cheered for two minutes and then re
ewed the ovation after the band had
played the "Star-Spangled Banner.
The nominee many times was inter
rupted with cheering and when he
concluded he was sent away with
great roar of applause.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2 7. President
Charles Comiskey of the Chicago
American league club tonight re
ceived word that Billy Maharg, for
mer boxer and a business partner of
Bill Burns, ex-majori league pitcher.
had told newspapermen in Phila
delphia that'White Sox players ap
proached him before the world series
last year and told him it had been
"fixed" for Cincinnati to win.
Presfdent Comiskey immediately
telegraphed Maharg, asking him to
come here and present this evidence
to the Cook county grand jury. Com
iskey said he would give Maharg $10,
000 if his charges were proved.
"Furthermore, I'll see that every
player Implicated is fired from or
ganized baseball forever," he said.
Attell Double-Croeaea Gamblers.
Maharg's statement, as received by
Comiskey, said that Eddie Cicotte,
Chicago pitcher who lost two games
in the series, approached him with an
offer of aid. saying that he could
furnish players to throw the games.
The White Sox were promised
$100,000 for throwing the, series, ac
cording to Maharg. but received only
$10,000, Abe Attell, former feather
weight boxing champion, "double
crossing" them. Maharg's statement
as received by Comiskey, virtually
was as follows:
"Last fall Cicotte approached Bill
Burns and myself in a hotel in New
York- He told us that he could sup
ply enough players td assure the
throwing of the games. We made the
deal with him, Abe Attell acting as
the 'fixer' or 'go-between.'
Gamblers Left In Cold.
"The Sox were double-crossed and
so were many of the gamblers by At
tell, however, and Burns and I lost
every cent we had by betting on Cin
cinnati to win the third game of the
series, which we thought also had
been fixed. We cleaned up on the first
two games.
"According to the story Cicotte told
us, eight Sox players were in on the
deal. They were the men whose names
have' been so prominently connected
with the Chicago grand jury investi
gation.
"Thousands and thousands of dol
lars were made on the series, but the
men who engineered the deal were
double-crossed and got left out in the
cold."
. Woman to- Testify.
The Cook county grand jury will
resume its investigation of baseball
gambling- and alleged game "throw
ing" tomorrow, with a woman sub
penaed to testify. In addition, half i
dozen of the leaders In professional
baseball have been summoned to ap
pear. ' v
Mrs. Henrietta D. Kelley, whose
identity has been kept secret for
several days, will testify. She is. ex
pected to tell of conversations she
heard between Chicago American
players, Eddie Cicotte, Ray Schalk,

lins and others who formerly boarded
with her.

For the ' purpose "of obtaining a
cross-section of the views of the vot
ing public on the coming presidential
election. The Oregonian yesterday un
dertook an informal straw ballot,
which is to be continued a week or
more and will include all classes of
voters. . The ballot yesterday was
taken by a personal canvass among
the occupants of the Yeon building
employes of the United States forest
service and the American operators
of stalls on the public market. As
it continues it will cover other office
buildings, industrial plants and typi
cal groups of voters wherever they
may be found. ,
In the Yeon building yesterday an
overwhelming majority was returned
for Senator Harding. Of a total of
156 votes taken 129 were for the
republican candidate and 27 were for
Governor Cox. Of this number 31
women voted for Harding and 13 for
Cox while five men and four women
declared that they had not yet made
up their minds which way they
would vote.
A feature in the attitude of this
group of voters toward tne presiaen-
tial candidates was a somewhat cyni
cal indifference toward the result of
the elections.
Several explained their choice by
saying, "we nave to nave a repuDiican
because we have had enough demo
cratic administration.'
"I'm voting for Harding because
he's a republican," announced one
business man. "The democratic can
didate would have to- be a mighty good
man to get my vote. We've sure had
enough of Wilson." j
"I am so disgusted with the Wilson
administration that I'm going to vote
for HardWtg," declared another man.
"Cox is just another name for Wilson
Ideas."
Many unique reasons for their polit
ical beliefs were advanced by the sup
porters of Harding. Not the least
among them was the man who was
going to vote for Harding because
"Harding doesn't pull the rough stuff
that Cox does; Cox is a bar-room poli
tician," or the woman who was going
to vote for Harding "of course do
I look like a democrat?"
Unique, too, were some of the rea
sons advanced by the Cox enthusiasts
for their political leanings. It was
noticeable that the percentage of
women who supported Cox was
greater than the percentage of men.
One woman declared that she was go
ing to vote for Cox for the sole and
simple reason that everybody else in
that particular office was for Hard-

Robert W. Hedderly, alleged boot
logger, killed in a federal raid on
September 10, was designated as a
dangerous character who would kill
a peace officer in any manner that
he could. This Information was given
to a group of federal officials gath
ered about a round table In the custom-house
by William Bryon. supert
intendent of the northwest' district
of the United States department of
justice. :
Mr. Bryon, testifying at the mayor's
hearing yesterday, a hearing which
was called after the filing of charges
against Patrolmen Morris and Jack
son, who participated in the raid, said
that he had been called to the round
table discussion when the plans for
the raid and expected capture of Hed
derly were being discussed.
Attending this conference, he tes
tified, were Johnson Smith, federal
prohibition director; C. C. Kramer,
chief agent of the United States rev
enue department; W. R. Wood, an
operative under Mr. Kramer, and oth
er officials.
Hedderly Called killer.

Hedderly and I told them" that I con
sidered him to be a dangerous person.
who would kill an officen in any way
that he could." testified Brvon
When asked a hypothetical question
as to what he would have done had be
been placed in the position of Patrol
man Jackson, who was said to have
been directly in the path of the Hed
derly car, Mr. Bryon' answered.
"I would shoot. What do you think
I would be doing, passing out my call
ing cards? I'm an officer and if the
car was coming at me, it's not my
place to step out of the way. It's the
place of the person driving to stop.
And if he didn't stop I'd shoot."
"Would you shoot to kill?" quizzed
Barnett Goldstein, attorney for Mrs.
R. W. Hedderly, the widow;'.'
Bryon Would Stop Him.
"I'd stop him," answertd Bryon.
Pyrotechnics featured the opening
of the hearing yesterday when At
torney Goldstein challenged Attorney
Watkins to prove that a "league of
bootleggers" had contributed money
to break down the" morale of the
police department by obtaining the
discharge of Police Officers Jack
son and Morris.
"I want to put a stop to these in
sinuations," said Attorney Goldstein.
"I am not representing any mythical
ring of bootleggers. I am here speak
ing for the family of the man who
was shot to death by these officers,
a man who was only supposed to
have committed a misdemeanor for
which the "most severe penalty is
only J500 fine in the federal court.
Goldstein Define Hpiring,
"This hearing is not being eon
ducted to try Hedderly, or his asso
ciate, Lewis, nor is it for the pur
pose of determining if there is a
ring of bootleggers, although it is
an insult to the efficiency of the
police department if it Is admitted
that such a ring exists. This hear
ing is to determine if these two
police officers are fit men to re
main on the police department and
I would likerfo have the counsel stay
within the scope of the hearing."
No sooner had Attorney Goldstein
concluded his statement -than Attor
ney Watkins, who issued a statement
Friday charging that a "league of
bootleggers" had contributed money
for the purpose of breakincr down the
morale of the police department, took)
the floor.
"I know and I can prove that more
than J700 has been raised by a ring
of bootleggers and law violators in
this city as a means of shattering the
morale of the police department!
Golsftteln's lr Aroused.
"If you say that I received any of
this money, either directly or indi
rectly, it's a lie," shot back Attorney
Goldstein.
You don't know anything about
it." retorted Watkins. 'I didn't say
in the newspaper interview, nor do
I say now, that you received any of
the fund. I did say and reiterate
now that a fund of more than J700
was raised among bootleggers after
September 10 and I am ready to prove
it."
A statement volunteered by Mrs.
Edward B. Hedderly, mother of the
dead man, revealed that friends of
Hedderly had raised funds and given
them to her to aid in. defraying ex
penses of the funeral.
"My boy trod a path which none of
us used. He associated with men
called bootleggers. Men who pur
chased liquor from them are known
as bankers,- lawyers and merchants.
But these associates love my boy and

ABERDEEN," Wash.. Sept. 27.
(Special.) Blindfolded, hearing three
gunshot wounds and covered with
two' planks and a tangled mass of
weeis. the body of Nicolas Koleskl,
24 years old, a special officer of the
Aberdeen poliee department, was
found by boys shortly before noon
yesterday in a shallow creek in dense i
woods about three miles south of
South Aberdeen.
He had been missing since last
Tuesday, when he was assigned to
hunt down operators of a still alleged
to be located near the spot where hte
body was found. He is believed to
have been lured to the spot by moon
shiners and deliberately killed.
Koleski, a Russian-Pole, was a Ca
nadian overseas veteran. He was
practically unknown here and had
been employed by the police depart
ment but a week, prior to his disap
pearance. His first work was liquor
law violation assignments and as a
result of these he appeared as a wit
ness in several police court trials of
alleged moonshiners.
Following the plain clothesman's
disappearance, a posse was formed
and the woods in which the body
was found were searched, but without
results. Officers today stated that
in these first searches they passed
and repassed the spot where the body
was found. Blood was found near by,
but was believed to have been that
of a deer killed by hunters.
From all indications the officer was
shot while blindfolded. His clothes
bore nq marks of a struggle. Of the
three shots fired into the body, one
entered the upper left arm, the other
two the head. Two of the bullets
passed through the body. The- other,
police announced, will be probed for
tonight.
Koleski -had no relatives In this
part of the country. A brother in
Winnipeg, Canada, has been notified
of the tragedy. No arrests have been
made, though police state they have
suspects under suveillance.

"One rmifsger Leapr
Coleman H. Wheeler Jr., manager
of the Wheeler logging interests, was
the only other occupant of the
speeder. Whsn he felt the wheels
leaving the rails he jumped and in
some unknown manner landed on the
trestle. . He escaped injury.
Both Mr. Williams and Mr. Lund
were alive when assistance came
from the Wheeler logging camp, one
mile above the fatal wreck. Mr. Wil
liams died just as the party convey-

ran, three miles from the trestle, and
Mr. Lund died on the train just after
it left Cochran for Hillsborp. His
body was taken from the . train at
Hillsboro, but was brought to Port

Tho injured women and children
were brought to Portland and taken
to St. Vincent's hospital. They had
been taken to Hillsboro by train and
removed from there to the local hos

rushed to meet thsm. It was said at
the hospital last night that the con

Maynard was critical.
Speeder Dives on Curve.
According to Mr. Wheeler, the
speeder, left the rails on a sharp curve
at about the middle of the trestle,
which crosses a deep canyon. He was
sitting on the front end of the speed
er and as he felt the wheels leav
ing the rails jumped forward.
As he fell sprawling on the trestle,
he says he could see the body of Mr.
Lund- hurtling through the air di
rectly above" him. Mr. Lund struct
the edge of the trestle, and his body
then bounded down into the canyon.

intimate friends. These recitals

history, and a deal of extrane
