...still going on. To the record last week came additions: one more judge indicted, one more resigned. The indictment was for George F. Ewald, the resigned magistrate, original target of the inquiry which Governor Roosevelt was forced to order some months ago when his political foes (Republican) aroused public suspicion that New York City judgeships were being sold for cash by Tammany Hall. Two county juries came to no decision on Judge Ewald's case, though a Federal jury indicted him on a mail fraud charge.

Anyone who objects to being teamed the way he wants has no way of protesting, since Chapman controls the business. He rode races himself till 1903, then managed tracks in Butte and Salt Lake City, slowly expanding. Every year...
Significance. One effect of the trial last week was to turn popular suspicion in Moscow upon the local colony of foreign diplomats. "The trial throws new light on the espionage system here," declared The Moscow Worker. "The spies are not old-school snoopers with electric torches and disguises but honored gentlemen living in mansions guarded by the Soviet police and with limousines adorned by many-colored national flags"-i.e. embassy and legation pennants...
