WHEELER SEES PLOT HATCHED FOR REVENGE Under Way for Senator’s Trial on Federal Indictment. Btf United Preen GREAT FALLS, Mont., April 15. —The sparks began to fly about the tounty courthouse today immediatey upon arrival of the principals in !he trial of Senator Burton K. Wheeler, once a leading prosecutor i. the Washington scandal investigations. Wheeler immediately authorized a rtatement charging political enemies tnd especially Harry M. Daughtery, lormer attorney general, whom he Justed from office, with having init.igated the charge upon which he vi 11 go on trial here tomorrow —a thapge that he misused his senatorial office in appearing as attorney lor a private client befc re a governwent department. “Daugherty and his men are still behind the prosecution,” Wheeler laid. "One of the first nVn I saw In town was Assistant Attorney General Pratt, who was sent here by Daugherty to get me. “Instead of prosecuting me, the Department of Justice ought to be trying a lot of the people we showed up In the Daugherty investigation.” I.a Follette Breaks Silence Then Senator Robert M. La Follette. with whom Wheeler was associated as vice presidential candidate In the last campaign, also broke his long silence and issued through the Wheeler headquarters a statement charging the Republican Administration with attempLnng to “get” Wheeler and Senator James R. Oouzens of Michiga \ Investigator of the Treasury Department. “That the Couzens committe which is investigating the tax bureau is on a hot trail, is attested by the fact that the Treasury Department appears to regard it necessary to do something to make him let up,” La Follette stated. “The indictment against Senator AVheeler was prbcured while he was successfully conducting an investigation of Attorney General Daugherty. “When it was found that nothing could halt him,' the plot was

hatched to indict and by hook or crook convict and ruin him. “Still Infested” “The department of justice under the Coolidge Administration is still infested with Daugherty appointees who appear to be very influential with it, in its indifference to the violation of law by steel mergers, railroad mergers, packing mergers, and in neglecting and refusing to prosecute violations of the antitrust law. “It has been officially determined by the boses that these investigations into official conduct of the Government at Washington must be stopped by hook or crook.” Meanwhile John L. Slattery, district attorney for Montana, began work on presentation of the prosecution. All last night he conferred with the forty witnesses he will put on the stand. United States marshals have served ninety-eight of the 120 veniremen and extreme difficulty is expected in selecting a jury because of the popularity of Wheeler here. He carried the county, which is normally 2,000 Republican, by votes when he won the senatorial race.

The offer is open to all comers no matter how big, or how rough.

Billy Evans Says—

UNIQUE IN FACT mT Is a fact that very few hall players of Hebrew extraction make the grade In the majors. This Is rather surprising, since the Jew shines In other sports, the fight game In particular. | Drulng s recent fanning bee j Hughey Jennings offered what I rej gard as the real reason for the failure of the Jew athlete to shine in the majors. “From the ages of six to twelve Is the most important period In the development of the ball player. He must master the fundamentals of the game and train properly the muscles used In baseball. “It is absolutely a physical Impossibility for a boy to shun baseball until he Is 14 or 15 years old and then take It up with a hope of becoming proficient. "It Is Impossible to develop the baseball muscles at sucn a late age. During the period when the youngsters should be playing baseball If he wants to be a star, the Jewish boy is learning the fundamentals of business, the art of making money.” • • • The theory propounded by Jennings was generally accepted aa the real reason for the failure of the Jew to shine In major league clrclee. He’s a street or store merchant at the time when the ball-playing youngster is In the making. WITTY SOLUTION mT Is a matter of record that during the past twenty years thero haven’t been over a half dozen star major ball players of Hebrew extraction. In this connection it is a most interesting .'act that there are no more enthusiastic fans In the country than the Jews. Their patronage •does much to make baseball the remarkable financial success that It la. A star of the type of Collins. Ruth. Speaker, Vance or Johnson would be a mint In New York If he were of Hebrew parentage. John MoOmw of the Giants, quick to sense *uch a possibility, had a player by the name of Solomon last year, who he hoped would make the grade and be a big favorite with the New York audiences. He failed to stick. Getting back to the question of the scarcity of Jewish ball players ip the majors, which Jennings best explained. Jack Bentley, star pitcher of the Giant*, ended the discussion with a humorous explanation which was new to me. If you have heard it before I pass the buck to Bentley. • • • “Wltat Jennings says about the scarcity of Jew ball players In the majors is probably right.” said Bentley, “but I have always understood It was because they just wouldn’t step on a diamond.” REGULAR JOB |-k~ ENTLEY, by the wtay, looks K to be In for a big year. Always troubled by extra weight, which he puts on easily, he Is In the best shape of his career this spring. He tells me that he Is fifteen pounds lighter than last season and weighs less than he ever did before In the spring. Bentley, aside from being a greet scuthpaw. is one bf the best hitters In the National League. lie strengthens a team at the bat when he pitches. When a plnch-hltter Is needed he is at his best. Jack tells me that while he likes pitching, he love* to play baseball so much that he Is sorry he can't get Into the game every day. • • • Tie would have liked to have made good at first base and believes he rou Id have delivered !f elven the proper rhnare. ; _ Hamilton Cotmty Meet ffu Tlmr* Bprrinl WKHTFIELD.
