Former Premier Britain called it "the most formidable obstacle against war ever devised."

SHANGHAI IN TERROR OF BURNING Wilson Freed of Charge of Assault With Deadly Weapon With the release from jail today of Forrest Wilson, charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to murder Constable Howard Cox of Laguna Beach, authorities disclosed starting information regarding two murder plots and unlawful activities of a ring of bootleggers in the beach city. Disclosures were made concerning assorted frame-ups against two persons who were arrested because of stories told officials by Oths Stigall, who, according to Sheriff Sam Jernigan, sought revenge against the arrested man after their alleged failure to pay "hush money" to Stigall. Here is the complete story as told today by Sheriff Jernigan and Constable Jesse Elliott, who are holding Stigall on a "bad check" charge while they are investigating his connection with the shooting of Cox. "On Sept. 8 an automatic pistol was stolen from an automobile in a Laguna garage. At 3 a.m. Sept. 9 Cox was in a gum grove near the Laguna jet when a bullet fired from this pistol pierced his leather coat. The weapon was found, but the assailant escaped." Cox suspected bottlegarners had fired the shot, as he had been receiving warnings from persons opposed to his 'dry campaign.' Some liquor evidence which the constable had in his room pending the trial of some of his arrested bootleggers disappeared mysteriously. Then, on Sept. 23, the officer was shot through the arm. Stigall told us that if we kept his name secret he would tell us all about the shooting. He told us that he had been with Cox until 3 a.m. Sept. 23, discussing the issuance of a number of bad checks which Stigall had cashed. Stigall said that when he left Cox he noticed a man lurking in the shadows. Our informant went to his room, then decided to shadow the man who meanwhile, he said had followed the constable. "The stranger turned a corner and then Stigall said he heard a revolver shot, quickly followed by two others. He said he saw the stranger run down the street and head toward the ocean. Unarmed, Stigall hurried back toward his room house, but as he reached an alley he said he plainly saw Forrest Wilson pass under a light and into a hotel." Stigall said Wilson told him he had taken a shot at a cop. "Our officers covered the same ground and learned that Stigall could not have seen these things from the position where he stood. After we informed him of this, he said he had told me," he said.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2. — “They’re making a goat out of me. I’ve been a damned fool.” That’s what Jimmy O’Connell, spended New York Giant outfielder, said, today of his teammates and himself in admitting that he offered Heinie Sand of the Phillies $500 to throw Saturday’s game and in claiming that the whole Giant team was in on the call. He made his defense and accusations when interviewed in the club house on the Polo Grounds this morning. O’Connell, pathetically waiting for official word at the park that was out of baseball, made no effort to belittle the part he played the bribe attempt. He was biting also for Cozy Dolan, sued along with him to appear in the Polo Grounds “to have it” with Dolan. The suspended player was bitter toward all his teammates. “They picked me,” he said, “be cause I knew Sand well. We met out in the Coast League when I played with Salt Lake. I’ve known Heinie since we both were in the bushes. Dolan put the proposition to me. That was Saturday morning. He said the whole team would chip in to make up the $500. “Frankie Frisch, Pep Young and George Kelly all knew about it. When I told Pep what Dolan had said, Young said: ‘Go to it.’ Then I told Frisch and Frank said: ‘Give him anything he wants,’ meaning Sand. “I asked Kelly what he thought about it, too. George knew all about it. I could tell that he had been approached by Cozy from the way he talked.” Then O’Connell told about how he had approached Sand once he was certain that he had the support of the team. “It was just before Saturday’s game,” he said. “During batting practice I talked to Heinie on the (Continued on Page Three) O’CONNELL & COZY DOLAN ARE ‘GOATS’ Barney Dreyfuss, Owner of Pittsburgh Pirates, Makes Accusations PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. — “O’Connell and Dolan are only the goats,” Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, said today in commenting on the baseball scandal which has led to the expulsion of Cozy Dolan and Jimmy O’Connell from organi- DAYTON MAN WINS FIRST AIR RACE WILBUR WRIGHT FIELD, DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. 1. — Walter Jones, Dayton and Chas.

C. 1 plane, won the National Cash Register Co. trophy race here today, the first event in the international race program. Twelve planes competed in the race. All finished.

Petch, Wichita, driving a new REVENGE IS SWEET FOR MAGANO Estanistado Magano, "star boarder" at the home in Placentia of Mary Salazor, took sweet revenge on Vincent Saccariar, whom he claimed won the coveted place he held in his "lanlady's", household, when Magano took the stand to testify in his defense in Justice Jack Landell's court late yesterday. Mrs. Salazor had "star" No. 1 arrested on a charge of petit larceny, she alleging Magano, when he was ousted from her Placentia home, took her trunk with him. Magano, however, produced the trunk in court, and the charge was dismissed. But he had his day. "There's liquor being stored in Mary's house," he told the court. "Why if you would go out there right now you would find six pints in a flour tin on the kitchen." Constable Jesse Elliott and Deputy Marquis Andrade, the latter of Anaheim, took the tip and raided the house this morning. There was the liquor, right in the flour. Likewise, lounging nearby was "star" No. 2, Saccarlar. He was taken into custody and Justice Landell probably will arraign him late today on a charge of possession. Magano, in all his supremacy, was expected to be a spectator on the first row, deputies anticipated. Barney Dreyfuss, Owner of Pittsburgh Pirates, Makes Accusations PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 1 — "O'Connell and Dolan are only the goats." Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, said today in commenting on the baseball scandal which has led to the expulsion of Cozy Dolan and Jimmy O'Connell from organized baseball. "The investigation into the bribe offered Helme Sand should go further," said Dreyfuss. It's an insult to the intelligence of the baseball public to ask it to believe that only two members of the Giants would pay $500 of their own money to gain something which would benefit many others." NEW YORK, Oct. 2. — The ugly fur of baseball scandal, swiftly raising its snaky head and as quickly scotched, today left New York fans its bitter aftermath. Just as it left the National League champions without two members of their staff on the eve of world series. In addition to the stigma cast when Judge K. M. Landin, commissioner of baseball, declared two Giants inelegible and hannished them from baseball, the blow delivered late last night as the Giants prepared to entrain for Washington, meant possible further shifting of John McGraw's crippled line-up. Jimmy O'Connell, $75,000 outfielder, who with Cozy Dolan, veteran Giant coach, was declared guilty of attempting to bribe Heinie Sand, Philadelphia shortstop, into throwing a game, was a possible choice for centerfield. Judge Landis departed of Washington almost immediately after announcing his ruling, based on the confession he said O'Connell made to him that O'Connell offered Sand $500 to throw the game at Philadelphia last Saturday on which the National League pennant hung. Sand refused the alleged offer and immediately reported to Manager Fetcher of the Phillies. John A. Heydler, president of the National League, and officials of the New York club assisted in the investigation which led to a trial of O'Connell and Dolan with Judge Landis' hotel room lime needs night. Giant fans today gave as is credence as did Landis to tie legged attempt of O'Connell to pplicate in the deal Capt. R. Frisch, Ross Young, outfielders George Kelly, first baseman of the Giants. After questioning them Judge Landis was convinced, he said that they knew nothing of the bribe Dolan was unable to Mother Will See Johnson In First League Game Saturday WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—She's the mother of the world's greatest baseball player, but she's never seen him play in big league games. But she's just about the happiest mother in this hilarious, ennized city today for she's going near the home plate in Mark Griffith's stadium Saturday afternoon and watch her son, Walter Perry Johnson, hurt the first time for Washington against the New York Giants. Mrs. P. E. Johnson came all the way from her son's farm at Cofville, Kansas, just to see the world series, the first in which Walter will pitch after 18 years the American League. "I'm very, very happy over this opportunity that has come to my son, because I think he has earned it," said Mrs. Johnson, today laying aside her sewing to talk to visitors. "I haven't seen Walter play in six or seven years, and then only in unimportant games out home. Altho-I may miss some of the fine points of the game, I know enough about baseball to get a real thrill out of the game. It's not like football. I've always found that stupid." "We were all so worried," Mrs. Johnson continued, "For fear that after these 18 years of big league baseball he might have to retire without ever having had a chance in a world series. He's going to give up playing soon, you know, and now I think this is a good time for him to quit."
