Earlier in the day Jack Kearns,

a bonded stakeholder were inserted in
the articles -of agreement, be would
not sign them. Tonight, however,
Kearns came from the conference
room smiling and declared that every

that the arrangement had his unquali

Carpentier and his manager, Des

BOXING COMMISSION TAKING
STEPS TO JCX8UKE CLEAJf SPORT
Boston, Oct. 27. The state boxing
commission, which recently took over
control of all public boxing bouts in
Massachusetts, is taking vigorous steps
to ensure clean sport. As a result of .its
investigations of recent boats the com
mission today suspended the licenses of
one club and six boxers.
The commission announc :d that the li
cense of the Bristol Athletic club of
Taunton had been suspended because it
had not paid a boxer who appeared at
one of its recent shows and that it would
not be restored until the club had made
good its debt to the boxer. The boxers
suspended for periods ranging from one
lo three months are Matty Herbert of
New York Jimmy McDonough, Jack
Curley and Joseph O'Connell, all of Bos
ton ; John George of Brockton and Wal
ter Butler of Revere. The reasons as
signed varied from fouling to failure to
go on with scheduled bouts or to put
tortn proper enorts to win.
QUESTION ABOUT CLAIM
FOB CHAMPIONSHIP
To the Sporting Editor, Norwich Bulle
tin: By no means am I going to allow
McDermott's Braves to claim the cham
pionship of Eastern Connecticut, for Ash
land put it over on McDermott's Braves,
Moosup beat Ashland ; Southtoridge de
feated McDermott's Braves, Moosup de
feated Southbridge. Ashland took two
straight from tne Norwich Kaceys. Did
not consider them fast enough for my
clu. Then ftfter WiJJimaA; lost
Cooney, the Braves put it over on to a
good team, yu wili have to admit, but
while they had Cooney, you notice they
did not lose many games. I am sure

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Chicago,. Oct. 27. Although new up
turns in the price of wheat took place
today, the market afterward underwent
a sharp setback. Attention given to
farm strike reports was the chief bull
ish influence. On the other hand, ex
port buying appeared to have come al
most to a halt. The market closed weak
2 1-4 to 3 3-4e net lower, with December
2.0 to 2. OS 1-2 and March 2.00 to 2 00
1-4. corn lost l-4e to 3-4c, and oats"i-2
to 3-4e. In provisions the outcome wa"
inehanged to 40c lower ,
General buying associated with current
.dvices about farmers acting to stop ru
r.aI saIes of wheat gave the market a
decided uptnrn at the outset. Some
houses had messages saying farmers
rere picketing and were sending back
homeward producers who .were hauling
wheat. Other houses said country ac
ceptances of bids were more liberal than
ead been expected in view of the strike
H. Conflicting gossip about settle
ment of the English coal strike added to
Vie uncertainty. Then It became more
nd more apparent that at least for the
ttans being exporters had almost com
pletely withdrawn from the market
Throughout most of the remainder of
the day, bears were m control.
Corn and oats reflected action of
wheat. Frovrlsens lacked support Pack
Ts selling was reported.

GAVE COMISKEY POSITIVE
EVIDENCE LAST WISTER
Chicago, Oct. 27. The Chicago Ameri
can League club, in a statement issued
tonight through its secretary. iarry
Grbainer, denied that Harry Redmond
or anyone else had given the club posi
tive evidence prior to the grand jury
baseball investigation that Chicago play
ers had "thrown" games to Cincinnati in
the 1019 world's series.
The statement was in reply to reports
that the club had been aware of the
game throwing and could have taken ac
tion before the grand jury began its in
vestigation, which resulted in true bills
being voted against thirteen persons.
Redmond who was brought here by
r.resident B. B. Johnson of the Ameri
can League, to testify .announced last
night he had tpld the jury he had given
President Charles A. Comiskey of the
club positive evidence last winter that the
series was "fixed."
"Redmond never gave anyone connect
ed with this club any evidence upon
which the club could act," said the state
ment. "The club was informed last win
ter that' Redmond had lost heavily upon
the series and had learned that games
were thrown and would be willing to give
evidence upon which the guilty persons
could be convicted if the club would
make good his losses.
"Manage.- ,vvilliam Gleason and Mor
ris O'Neill immediately went to St. Louis
to see Redmond and, later, he came to
Chicago at the club's request.
"Redmond could not, however, tell
anything definite. He had only rumors,
only hearsay stories. He could not name
or furnish anything which couid be call
ed evidence. His story then seemed to
be merely the hard luck yarn of a loser.
'The only person he could refer the
club to was Carl Zoark of St. Louis.
Zoark told the club he knew nothing of
any crooked work and that Redmond
was just a hard loser.
"Despite the fact that Redmond could
only tell of rumors he had heard every
effort was made to verify his hearsay re
ports and obtain evidencebut none was
obtained until after the grand jury
started its investigation.
"When real evidence of crookedness
was obtained this club acted in a man
ner which is well known."
Officials in the state's attorney's office
refused to comment on the statement.

10c S1RAIGHT
. BUT THEM BY THE BOX
Huntoon & Gorham Co., Providence
WESTERLY
The body of Ed;ar A. Bailey arrived in
Westerly, Tuesday evening, from the
Lawrence-Memorial hospital. New Lon
don, where he died in the afternoon. The
death certificate accompanying the body
was signed by Dr. Harold H. Heyer, and
the cause of death was given as a pistol
Shot in the abdomen followed by
peretonitis. l"r. Heyer is the medical ex
aminer for New London, and the body
was forwarded to Westerly without an
autopsy being taken. When the body
arrived at a local morgue Dr. M. H. Scan
Ion, medical examiner was notified and
he communiqated with Attorney tJeneral
Rice. The attorney general advised that
no autopsy be made by Pr. Scanlon.
as the death certificate stated that death
resulted from a bullet. The medical ex
aminer.then. in accordance with law, re
ferred the matter to Coroner Kingsley.
It was learned from surareons at the
hospital, who operated on Edgar Bailey
that there were twelve punctures caused
by the bullet, which probably lodged in
the pelvis. There were seven punctures
in the intestines, three in the orventus
and two in the messentery. The attend
ing surjeon suggested that the New Lon
don medical examiner take an ante-mortem
statement of Edprar Bailey, not as
any part of his duty but as a matter of
public service. This was not done. Medi
cal examiners have to do not with the
living, but only with the dead.
It is claimed that it was the plain
duty of the Westerly authorities to see
to it that an ante-mortem statement be
taken. That no resident of Rhode Island
is qualified to take such a statement in i
Connecticut, does not preclude the se
curing of that all important document in
this part'ular case.
There is open criticism of the action of
the physician who was called . to the
Bailey home, soon after the shooting
Saturday night when it was known that
xr-j uj i i.i.. I,.. i.:

h!. .avo n,nri. n-Ho,, o!been shipped. It is the conten:-on of the
once, not
New Lond
man. This gave Charles Bailey ample
opportunity to make a get-away from the
police.
When polioe officers arrived at ' the I
Bailey home two hours after the shoot-1
ing, Mrs. Bailey the elderly mother of
the' two brothers, said that she and Ed
gar were in the kitchen, when Charles
came home intoxicated. That the broth
ers had some words. Charles lighted a
lantern and went up stairs. He came
back with his revolver. It was dis
charged. Edgar cried out : "You shot
me." and fell from the chair. Charles
said : "I'm sorry ; you'd better get a
doctor !'' Then Charles went to Fred Bny
ington's house and at his request Dr.
Johnson was summoned. The aged moth
er said she had not seen Charles since
and that the shooting was accidental.
Mrs. Bailey has changed' her story of
the shooting since then. She saw Piiarles
go up i stairs and come back with the
revolver. She heard the discharge and
saw Charles leave the house sayinsr he
was going for a doctor. She asked Edgar
If he was shot and he said no. Edgar
went out doors and when he came back.
the mother asked him asain if he was
shot and he said no. Edgar went out
a third time and when he returned, lie
was again asked if he was shot. He said
he was and showed his mother the wounri
Mrs. Bailey said by this time,, the doc
tor came, and they took Edgar away.
It was rumored ahont town Wednes
day, that Charles Bailey had probably
committed suicide. A man answering his

CRUSADE AGAINST MOLES NETS
FARMERS PROFIT FROM SKINS
Moleskins obtained from animals kill
ed in the crusade fostered ' by the bio
logical survey. I'nited States Depart
ment of Agriculture, against crop-de
stroying animals have netted $:o.rti to
$ti0.tl0i a year to farmers of Oregon and
Wasnington. - Moles and the many kinds
of rodents do serious damage to grass
anil grain, and a campaign of extermi
nation was started agiist them. As a
by-product of extermination the fur of
the nvile was found to be of value. Th
telt of the northwestern mole is super
ior to that of the Scotch mole, which is
generally used for fur garmenfs. Th.
northwestern moleskins have recently
sold at from 50 to 6' cents apiece and
have been in ureat demand.
The total annual damage by rodents to
