HOW USES MONKEY WRENCH " ' Chicago States Attorney Surprises Baseball Grand Jury By His Action.

BT LtTHBR A. HtSTOV STAFF CORRESPONDENT I N. SEHVICE1 CHICAGO. Sept. 30. The Cook county frand jury machine that ha been assimilating a grist of evidence el baseball crookedness and grinding "ul inflietrnents arainst dishonest gamblerf and ball players, may have to lusppnl operation for a few days -wails a nvn-key-wrench la extracted from Its work. Said roonkeywrench ws tossed today hy States' Attorney Maclay Hoyne when ha acquired the long distance monkeywrench throwing record since Hoyne la ia New Tork and the grand jury is In Chicago. Heyna has Instructed his assistants net to complete the grand Jury prob until ha rttirti from New Tork; has expraesefi doubt that the 'White S.-x r layers who confessed to "throwing" ri.mil f the 1919 world's series are Ilahla to criminal prosecution and has

declared that the indictments voted by tha grand jury ara not really Indictments as yet because they hare not beea returned in court. Heyna Is decfared today to have called a halt in the grand jury probe because ha suspected that the entire exposure ef the 191 world's series scandal has been brought about, by persons antagonistic to Charles A. Ccraiskey. owner of the TVhite Box. It is admitted that the indictment cf seven of the present members of the Thlte Sox team has virtually killed the team's chances for the 1920 pennant. Hoyne Is also doubtful if any yirc suffeieatry binding to establish existence of a "confidence game" has been uncovered. "I am not certain that a crime has been committed." Hoyne is quoted as saying: in dispatches received here. "It is said indictments have been veted but an indictment Is not an in-1 Aictmeat until it is returned in ceuit. i

So far none has been. "Th eight Sox players who took money to throw the games, threw them, according to their confessions, which makes it doubtful whether or nt they obtained money by a confidence game. They actually carried out their part or the bargain." Heyne declared that from what he has learned of the evidence he is inclined to the opinion that the on!y crime for which the Sox players eou'd he prosecuted is that ef gambling or conspiracy to gamble, which is a mil- - demeanor in Illinois. Hoyne is reported also to be displeased with the manner in which his assistants hers h-o conducted the probe. The grand Jurors today expressed doubt of ta authority of Mr. Hoyne to step their inquiry or the return of tie indictments and prepared to proceed with the inquiry. They pointed out that be Jury tne right to exclude tha state's attorney from its deliberates.
