clares that other fairs in the state will
V offer nothing that will not be equalled
.or surpassed here. His praises are
heard about the city and county, and no
; sibilant reports have been bruited in
regard to the exhibits. Miss Lena Bar-

clares that the women of the county

' casion of much favorable : comment

H. O. Kltx, who has looked after the
amusements, predicts that, the 30,000
- people who will be here, will be con
. tinuously smnsed. The Old Time Fld-
dlers' Convention,'' the greasy . poles
contests; the acrobats' performances,
the water barrel race, the airplane 1
stunts, the two bands, the skating con
- test and the Horseback Tournament
"have been arranged on the program in
" such a,manner as to be seen by all, and
. it is believed these amusements will
furnish entertainment for all. A ferris
. wheel and a merry-go-round also have
' ' been provided,- and those people who
still love the sounds and scenes of a

' A ebon fight, something of a novelty
to even tbeee- people who, bve always
a tended Home Comings and ' even
carnivals, will be offered during the

HOW CICOTTB MADE
V ' HIS CONFESSION
He Came to Gleason Monday
Night and Said He Had a
"Load on His Breast."
Confession Followed .
, (By the AmmUumI Preu.)
Chicago, Sept. S.-JFurther confes
sions by some of the seven White
gox players who, with one former
tSiyer, were Indicted yesterday in
connection wkh the -alleged throw
ing of the 1919 worlds series, will
be made -within a day or two, Alfred
S. Austrian, attorney for the iball club
announced today. . y
It has been rumored that at least
two of the seven - were anxious to
supplement the confessions of Eddie
Cicotte and Joe Jackson with their
statements.
True bills naming three ball play
ers not members of the White Sox,
and three gamblers were expected to
be voted today by the grand Jury.
Members of the Jury said this morn
ing they had sufficient evidence on
which to base' these indictments.
It was reported that true bills were
being considered against two Nation
al League players. ..
William "Kid" Gleason, managor of
the White - Sox, disclosed today
the march of events which culminat
ed in Cicotte's confession and the
voting of the Indictments.
Last Monday according to Gleason,
he had gathered enough evidence to
know that some of bis players had
been -bribed to ' lose the series. Ci
cotte came to ihim (Monday night, be
said, and declared he-hed "a load on
his chest" and wanted to get rid of
It. Gleason told hlim to see "C'om-
my" Charles A. Comlsky, owner of
the Sox.'
Comisiky ' heard Cicotte's story,
agreeing -with evidence gathered .by
his private detectives, and then call
ed his attorney, A. S. Austrian and
told him to-take the Wtcher to Judge
aicDonald, chief ' Justice of the Cook
Ai4mlnal .Aiirt .' - 'l-ha Minfmiolnn ,1 ii

indictment - followed. ,
Evidence already placed by the Jury,
It Is known, involves A1m? Attell, for
mer ' prise tighter : Lee Magee, Hal
Chase and Heine Ziiniiieriiiniiii, former
members of the Giants, three eastern
gandilers whose names have not lieen
divulged, and at least two National
League piasters.
' The eight players Indicted are "ap
parently only tool of a gambling ring,"
according, to Harry Urcghnin, foreman
of tha gTand jury. l itaiuliiciitloiiH of
this ring, be said, extend everywhere
that professional baseball is known.'
'''It Is plainly evident that some of
these boys yielded to the influence . of
those Whose names doubtless will appear-in
the list of defendants later
on," Mr, Gregham said. "I sympathize
with some of them. They were foolish,
unsophisticated country - boys .who
yielded to temptation placed in their
path, by professional gamblers.
"I hope the demising process of this
Investigation will extend to all the
sore sports In the sporting world."-
The grand Jury, whose normal per
iod of office expires tomorrow, will be
continued Indefinitely to -complete the
baseball investigation, he said.
,The. Indictment of his seven players
cost Chas; Comlsky, owner of the
White Sqx. $230,000. the amouut for
Wilch he could have sold their ser
vices,' he said today. . . .

initial tiuuilMr on the program, her
lips ceased to move, but her song went

longer singiug, though "tier voice came
forth as clear anil sweet as before.
Again she suug. hut the audience only
knew It was the living Clark by the
motion of her lips. It seemed as if
there were two artists ou the stage

The tones emanating from the New
Edison were identical with those of
the living artist, and it was impossi

After the applause which followed

and played in unison with the re-cre-atlon
of their art. Only by watching
them could one know when the living

when the music came In double meas

Identical with the original In every

Further numliers in which Miss

art and its original.
