105 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1921. CONFESSION OF $5,000 BRIBE IS BARRED BY COURT State Has Gambled With Defense in Strategy and Lost," Says Judge. Chicago, July 29--Fighting desperately in final attempt to tighten the grip of the law on the defendants in the baseball trial, the State today twice met defeat when Judge Hugo Friend barred an alleged confession from "Happy" Pelsch that he received 85,000 to throw the 1919 World's Series games and tentatively denied the prosecution's attempt to recall David Zelcer of Des Moines, Iowa, another defendant, to the witness stand. Judge Friend, in refusing to admit the testimony against Feisch, said it that the State had gambled with the defense.

in strategy and lost." Feisch's was alleged to have been statement, Chicago newspaper reporter just after the first indictments. The State maintained it had just learned of this statement, but Judge Friend held that should have learned of it long ago, and that "negligence in the State's attorney's office should not jeopardize a defendant's liberty." "You should have brought in this testimony during your case in chief." said Judge Friend. is not rebuttal evidence." White temporarily refusing to perZelcer to be recalled, Judge Friend let the State place clerks at the hotel where Zelcer lived in go on the stand to testify as to the defendant's statement that he was in Chicago and Cincinnati at the time he was alleged have talked with Bill Burns in New York. Attorneys for the State announced that they would start their closing arguments after Gedeon has testified. Ench side is to have ten hours for speech-making to the jury.

Cincinati, July 29--John J. McGraw, manager of the New York Nationals, denied today that he had made any proposal to Buck Weaver, one of the indicted White Sox on trial in Chicago, to play with Giants. MeGraw said that he merely went to Chicago to see President Heydler about his suspension went the court room find Mira Heydler. He said further that Weaver shook hands with him and expressed the hope that the Giants would win the pennant.

They takled about inconsequential things, McGraw declared. The Giants' manager emphatically asserted that he never broached the subject of Weaver playing with the Giants in the event of his acquital. "If he is acquitted and Judge Landis gives him a clean bill of honesty, why then the Giants may engage in the bidding for Weaver," he said. SOUTH IRELAND MAY HAVE PARLIAMENT King George Expected to Act if Sinn Feiners Won't Sit. Dublin, July 20-King George may have to appoint a Parliament from the south of Ireland.

He is authorized by the Home Rule Act to do so if the members elected fail to take the oath of office within 14 days after the date fixed for the assemblage of the new Parliament. This fact is important in view of the announcement that the Sinn Feiners nominated without opposition for the new Parliament, and thus virtually elected, have been accepted by the Irish leaders as constituting the new members of the Dail Eireann, suggesting the probability that they will refuse to constitute Parliament for which they were chosen. In that event, King George is authorized the Home Rule Act to appoint a committee consisting of members of the Irish Privy Council and such others persons as he may choose, and constitute these persons a legislative and executive assembly to exercise the functions of the Parliament. This provision is described by the opponents of the Act as the establishment of Crown Colony Government. It is evident that it makes it easy for the government at once to take measures for setting up the Southern Parliament at or the same time as the Northern.

this method mender Southern Ireland would be governed by a committee of nominated Irishmen, instead of at present by nominated British officials.

All Types Represented. forced out of line by a minor accident to their truck and spent the night on the roadside far in the rear, while the pilgrims worried a bit and State troopers searched for the absentees.

They were located near midnight, and everybody turned in, very tired, apparently very happy and certainly still enthusiastic. A few sat later and watched the mists purpling over the Hudson while they listened to the strains of music, played especially for them by the orchestra in Tumble Inn, whose proprietor, Capt. John F. Jenkins, had volunteered the inn grounds as a camping place. The trip from New York City had been in the nature of a triumphal procession.

The police protection was perfect, and not once was there a difficulty either from the crowds lining the sidewalks in all of the towns passed or from other motorists. The first halt was made at the city line on the border of Yonkers, where the city police turned the caravan over to State troopers, while the pilgrims enguifed neighboring soft drink stands to buy and buy until the unprepared shopkeepers had to admit despairingly that everything had given out. Piloted by State Troopers. Where the modern pioneers passed they left many who stared wistfully after the long procession with the two big Government trucks lending an air of concreteness and reality to the pilgrimage. At each stop "Commander" Scott was besieged by applicants who suddenly felt the call of the wide West.

Many were ready pack up and join in without preparation; others asked to be included in the next caravan which Mr. Scott already is planning. Passing motorists shouted encouraging greetings and expressed the wish that they were "going along." The precision with which the State troopers piloted and guarded the caravaners, holding back all other motor traffic, was impressive enough to suit the most ardent. All signals were set and Scott's Modern Caravan rolled majestically and smoothly through to its first stop. It is a thoroughly typical American community which is rolling away into the West.

They are solid, straightthinking, deliberate men and women imbued with an idea. They have thought the thing out; reached a decision and acted on it. Most of them have staked everything they have in the world on this venture into an unknown country, to virgin land where there is not even a roof to shelter them nor a tree to offer shade. It is il land newly reclaimed by irrigation especially for them and they are tak- Any type to be found in the average American community is included among the pilgrims. There is Peter A.

Van der Put is the oldest member of the caravan, just as complacent Albert Vermeire, also of Paterson, is the youngest. He said he was going back to the land, because it was the only thing with a real and genuine value which would yield absolutely in proportion to the deserts of its owner. Baby Albert's father, Arthur Vermeire, was associated with Mr. Van der Put in business and the two families, life-long friends, are sharing the big adventure. Besides Albert, Mr.

Vermeire is taking his wife and two other children, Martha, 9 years, and Augusta, 3 years. He wants them to grow up in a new and rugged country, he explains. Mr. and Mrs. Bertram B.

An interesting type is represented by Herbert S. Walsh. Mr. Walsh resigned an excellent position with the public schools, with which he has been connected for 17 years, in order to try his fortunes in the West. He went out alone, but his wife and 3-monthsold baby will join him in the fall.

He said he had been nursing an ambition to get a farm of his own ever since he left college and that the colonization plan offered him exactly he had been waiting for. A. I'.

and Mrs. Hineline are a polly that insists day and night that its name is Jimmie: a brindie pup and two canaries. Asked his reason for making the pilgrimage Mr. Hineline said: "We are going home: that is all. We don't belong in the city, we never have been contented there and we aren't coming back." He pointed to the Hudson.

"I'll never see that again," he said simply. This is the sentiment of all of the caravaners. They are going, not to return.

HYLAN FOLLOWS GREEK CUSTOM AT CONCERT During the bright days of Hellenic democracy it was customary for the archons and other dignitaries to grace all public entertainments with their presence to give an air of dignified officialdom to the occasion. Mayor Hylan. truly classic in spirit, has reverted to this almost lost custom.

and last appeared at "Mayor Hylan's People Concert" in Richmond Hill. Though his spirit belongs to the old school of civic rulers, the Mayor's erudition does run deep enough to follow exactly the Greek method. No archon, no matter how ambitious, would "have dared to get up before an audience at a Sophoelean tragedy and tell them his political doctrines. But the Mayor is learning, and after a few more such concerts he may come closer to the Greek sense of fitness.

Berlin, July moving picture films will not be serious com-, petitors of American films in the near future in the opinion of many American producers who have been in Germany within the last few months studying the development of the film industry. "Neither the plays staged by mans nor the personality of the German actors I have seen would appeal to American patrons," one of America's foremost film producers declared after an inspection tour which included the leading studios and moving picture theaters of Germany. could truthfully say the same of the British film industry. American producers are, in my opinion, far ahead of the Germans and British in the art of producing appealing films. "In Germany many of the important films are too gruesome for the American public.

Then the actresses who appear in many of the films are not young beautiful enough to satisfy Americans." German makers are producing many cubist effects. Some of these films are skillfully done, but the themes are generally gloomy and not of a character which Americans de- mand.

Vienna, July 15--The proposed law to give Viennese apartment dwellers front door keys relieve the concierges from the duty of letting them in and out is meeting widespread opposition. Apparently the people themselves do not want it and the newspapers are unanimous against it. It is also meeting with opposition from the insurance companies on the ground of increased danger of burglary if the watchful eye of the concierge i removed from the entrance.

The Merchants Association has made a formal protest against its passage. The papers advance such ingenuous arguments as: What can a man do if' Cockroach Race Sport at Constantinople, July the Associated Press) -Betting on cock- I rouch races is.one of the newest sports here. It was introduced by a Russian. who has just opened a hall where man who wants some real excitement for his money can get results. The hall is darkened at the moment the race is to begin.

Then a single electric light at the end of a runway is turned on, and the cockroaches. each in a separate track, are let loose from their cages to race for the light. More real old-fashioned, non fessional sport may be had here than in any other city of Europe. This is due in part to the Allied troops of occupation, to the American officers and sailors on station here, and the large number of American and British civ. Ilians who have come out for business since the armistice.

What the Russian refugees have done in way of enlivening the city with concerts, dancing places and An Immediate and thorough investigation the rampage of Detective Charles Tighe of the chief inspector's office al a3d at. and 9th ave, yesterday, has been begun under orders direct from Mayor Hylan to ascertain all of the facts relating to the detective's brutal attack on 24 persons, including women who were dragged from the street and hurled into the rear room of a restaurant where Tighe had locked his other victims. The Mayor telephoned Police Commissioner Richard Enright early this morning and ordered that the matter be sifted thoroughly. Tighe's wholesale assaults were unprovoked as fellow detectives will be called upon to testify. One phase of the investigation will be to determine why it was that continued appeals to the 47th st.

tion were ignored while Tighe continued his mad attacks, brutally blackjacking men. women and children alike. Not even respect for the clergy halted him and priests in the neighborhood armed themselves with impromptu weapons in self-defense. Tighe began his orgy of brutality by blackjacking an aged man who was eating his dinner in the restaurant of Patrick Coen at 600 9th ave. As the old man fell to the floor the enraged detective announced that he intended to clean out the place and he proceeded to do so.

He smashed a news ticker and then began laying about him with his blackjack among a ber of men standing near the ticker. Swinging his murderous billy unmercifully he herded the men into a rear room which he locked. Then he dashed out onto the sidewalk. Two women were approaching. They did not see the enraged man until he seized them roughly by the shoulders and began dragging them into the restaurant.

When they resisted he beat them with his blackjack and then thrust them into the room with the men. Several other women who crossed Tighe's path were beaten as brutally and he is said to have roughhandled a 2-year-old boy and his small sister because they ran from him in terror. The detective then placed all of the men and women under arrest and herded them to the 47th st. station. They were discharged promptly when arraigned in night court before Magistrate Nolan, and Tighe disappeared.

Tighe's identity was carefully concealed until concealment was no longer possible. MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR PVT. EMIL BARTEL TONIGHT Pvt. Emil Bartel first of the 13th C. D.
