Sl'HIN'GFIBI.D, Ohio, Mar. 12.
Springfield was cpdet tills morning fol
lowing a night of disorder in which a
policeman and a negro were wounded
In Interchanges of shots between po
lice and negroes. Neurly thirty arrests
were made.
Three companies of Ohio National
Guardsmen, consisting of 150 officers
and men were on duty today with
headquarters at the city hall. Mili
tary law has not been declared, it hav
ing been declared that troops would
merely uid tho local authorities in
maintaining order.
. Machine guns are mounted nt the
county Jail and although tho militia
men aro not patrolling t lie streets they
are under arms and reudy to answer
riot culls. A truck with a machine gun
mounted on it is available to make
hurried trips.
Tho troublo, which started shortly
boforo midnight last night with the
shooting of the policeman after he had
ordered a group of negroes to disperse,
was the outgrowth of an assault last
Monduy night on eleven year old Marge
Ferneau for which an unidentified
hegro wbb arrested. . Reports that he
had beori arrested caused a crowd to
gather at tho county jull Wednesday
night and again Thursday night but
these crowdB were dispersed when the
Bhootlug began.
Race Feeling Strong
. Among the clty'B 60,000 population
approximately one-eighth of whom are
negroes, racial feeling Is Btrong.
Last night's rioting apparently came
In threo phases. Tho opening conflict
betwoen officers and negroes came
when the patrolman was shot whon he
attempted to break up a crowd of ne
urons at Center and Jofforson streets
within a block and a half of the police
station. Later there was another brush
in which Shirley Shaffer, a negfo re
ceived a slight sculp wound and water
a gonornl pitched battle In which twon
ty or more shots were fired between
negroes and policemen, tho negroes
dodging behind trees and buildings and
tho officers barricading themselves be
hind a curbing.
While nttompting to persuade ne
groes to return to their homes and de
sist from vlolonco City Manager Edgar
Parsons, Mayor 11. J. Wostcott and
T'olice Prosecutor Robert Placlc wero

wounded.
U. S. LAND VALUES
DECREASE IN 1920
CHICAGO, Mar. 12. The trial of
Chicago White Sox baseball pluyuis
charged with throwing tho 1919 world
series, which begins Monday before
.lodge William K. 1 lever of the county
court, is expected to bring, forth evi
dence that ulmoKt everyone connected
with tho alleged conspiracy waB double
crossed In some way. ' s
The loss by Charles A. Comlskcy,
owner of the club, of his championship
team and of tho players valued col
lectively as high as :i(IO,000, was look
ed upon at the' time of the jury investi
gation as a double crossing unparallel
ed In baseball history. Testimony
given before the grand jury und which
probably will be introduced during the
trial, indicated Uiat the alleged plans
of the gamblers charged with fixing
the series and of players charged with
throwing It, also went astray In sever
al respects.
This testimony, given by witnesses,
wan to tho effect that the gamblers
double crossed certain players by not
making good on promised bribes, cer
tain players In return double crossed
tho gamblers by winning a game on
which tho gamblers 'had pyramided
previous winnings and thus lost many
thousands of dollads for the fixors, and
that some players even double crossed
eacli other.
Chicago lost the first two games of
the series and on these two games var
ious gumblers wero said to have won
many thousands of dollars. Claude
Williams and Joo Jackson, in their
grand jury confessions, said that the
players were promised a certain
amount of money after each game, but
only Cleotte, Jackson and Williams
confessed to receiving money. Accord
ing to some of the evldenco, certain
players became very angry when the
gnmblors fulled to make good on the
promise of payments after each game
and having thus been double crossed
by tho gamblers, did their best to win
tno third game of the serloB.
T,ho gamblers, it was said, pyramid
ed their bets, betting on the second
game against Chicago ull they had
won tho first. Tho combined winnings
were placed on Cincinnati to win the
third game nnd when Dick Kerr came
through with a 3 to 0 victory, In which
ho was aided by indlctod players, tho
gamhlors lost everything.
Kclsch, Weavor, Uisborg nnd McMul
lln, maintain that they never entered
tho conspiracy and 'never rocelvod
money. Jackson and Williams deny
they threw games, although admitting
they received money. Clcotto confessed
to receiving money and to one intoii'
tlonal misplny. (iandil lias never sur
rendered, but In press statements wiib
quoted ns denying that ho took any
part In tho deal, lie was named by
Williams us tho man who gave him
$10,000, however, $5000 for himself and
5000 for Jackson.
BANKER ACQUITTED
IS
SJ'OKANK, Mar. 12. An effort to

manded for the rcleane of , J ay iloufeh,
fitciiiK three charges of forgery in
connection with alleged fraudulent
bond tranHuctioiiH, will be made next
week by hiH counsel, they announced
today.

four charges by a jury In superior
court last night, prior to his trial, ob
tained his release on bonds of $ 1 5,
000 on each of two charges, but later

charges, for each of which $ 15,000
additional bail was demanded.

ask that his bail be reduced to the
$30,000 bonds already furnished, but
failing this, they expect to be able to
furnish tho required $ 15,000.

BEN COLLINS NOT GUILTY
(Continued from Page One)
stute of Oregon did not ihtroduco the
records because it feured the case
would bo tukon out of the Jury's
hands. No matter how long It took,
every bit of tho records should lie in
troduced if it takes threo days or
threo weeks. The state did not dare
to Introduce this evidence.
"In his opening argument to you,
tho district attorney asked you what
W. If. Johnson, former cashier of the
bank, had to gain by giving testi
mony as ho did in this case, and that
ho hnd nothing to hope for. I'll tell
you what he had to liopo for. ' A
lighter senteiico and consideration nt
the hands of tho prosecution was
what he liuil to hope for."
Attorney NmvlHir.v. toolc the record
evidence Introduced, 'and showed the
Jury how there hnd been, no, ipisappli
catlon of funds, and passed, by John
son's testimony, that a pencil nota
tion cn the. ledger' shoot Introduced,
showed Collins to. have , overdrawn
over $700, ,"as mighty , suspicious,"
anil "don't It look like it was put
there for the purposes of this case."
Mooits Dosing Strong.
District Attorney r.tooro reviewed
tho stale's case, stressing the .ten
dency of tho evldenco of tho stnte
to uliow that the defendant had know
ledge of his overdraft. In reply to
Attorney Newbury's criticism of the
bank examiners the prosecutor said
tho bank hoard was not on trial, and
that records In the case wero open
alike to state and defense. Tlio dis
trict attorney made a good Impres
sion with his talk and arguments.
lien M. Collins, the defendant, was
tho only witness culled by the de
fense. He told a straightforward
story of his dealing with the Hank of
Jacksonville and denied any conver
sation with Johnson In the county
Jail, as tho latter testified, regarding
tho alleged disposal of notes, in ex
change for the payment of a $2S00
personal note. Collins was a former
cashier of the defunct bank, nnd he
and Johnson wore friends.
In rebuttal the state called W. H.
Johnson ns a witness, but was burred
from testimony In the case any fur
ther on an objection by the defense
that was sustained by the court.
That "rara. avis" among musicul
comedies, that is a musical comedyJ
with real music and with real comedy
is "The Sweetheart Shop," which last
night opened Its local engagement at
the Columbia theater. And along
with real music and comedy go also
tho other essential attributes of a sure
fire success, pretty girls and shapely;
attractive ensembles; bewitching
dance numbers and beautiful settings.
San Francisco was promised the
"original New York company" in. "The
