MIGHTY SWINGING OF WILLOW IN THE HANDS OF TYRUS COBB TAKES THIRD GAME FOR DETROIT Cracker Boy Is Easily the Star Performer in Yesterday’s * Game. 1 HE MADE FOUR HITS, ONE OF THEM BEING FOR TWO BAGS Mullin Pitched Very Steady Game and His Support Waa Excellent—Detroit Made 8 Runs, 13 Hits, 3 Errors; Chicago Was Held Down to 3 Runs, 7 Hite—Cobb Got in His Bert Work in the Sixth. CHICAGO, Oct. 12.—Detroit became a real contender for the world's base ball championship today when It de feated Chicago In a decisive fashion— 8 to 3. Manager Jennings achieved this re sult with a change In his line-up. Downs waa put on the bench and Schaefer was shifted from third to second base. Coughlin occupying the third sack. Counting the world’s series of last year, today’s victory was the first De troit has scored In eight champion ship contests. Mullin was steady throughout the game, holding Chicago to seven scattered hits and passing only one man. Pfelster’s left hand shoots, for the most part, failed to puzsle the Michigan batsmen. Be sides issuing three passes he was hit 6afely twslve times, two of the clus ter being doubles and six of them oc curring in one Inning. It was this Inning, the sixth, which gave the game to-Detroit. The Kray clad Timers, two runs be hind Chicago when the inning opened, came across the plate In a procession. The crowd, with the exception of a majority from Detroit which enjoyed the proceedings hugely, pleaded with vociferous unanimity for the retire ment of Pfeister. Manager Chance, who failed to show any traces of em barrassment or displeasure at th© way In which Detroit came up from behind and went ahead, smiled cheerfully and Ignored the request. Cobb Comes into His Own. Tyros Cobb, Idol of the Detroit en thusiasts, whose playing was a great disappointment a year ago, came into hli own. He batted like th© natural hitter ho is and ran bases like a flash. His batting average for tho day was .800. Out of five times up In O’Leary with the first run of tho game. In the fourth he reached first base on a fielder’s choice, but In the sixth he boat out his slow grounder, scoring McIntyre. In the eighth his sprinting ability enabled him to make a double of an ordinary single. In the next inning ho singled and he not only stole second, but also pilfered third by a narrow margin. Ho had no opportunities In tho field. Others whose work contributed materially to tho victory were O’Leary, Crawford and Kossmap. each of whom made two hits, although Rossman and O’Leary were both charged with errors. Mullin Gets Praise. To Mullin, however, tho greatest credit was awarded by tho spectators. Even In the fourth inning, when ail three Chicago’s runs were scored, he never faltered. His nerve remained steady, his arm strong and his con trol excellent. The only base on balls which he allowed was turned Into a run by Chicago. Despite tho fact that the sun shone brightly today and tho temperature was higher than yesterday, only 14,543 paid admissions were registered at the Various turnstiles, netting total re ceipts of $22,767. Dawn did not find the usual line of eager would-be pur chasers at tho ticket windows. It was 6 o'clock before a single lino formed nnd when play began there were still vacant Beats in the more distant bleachers. The Game In Detail. The game was scheduled to begin at B o’clock, but was postponed fifteen minutes waiting for the arrival oflau> comers to fill the unoccupied seats. Dotrolt was the first to soore. tn Its half of the first Inning O’Leary, with one out. lined too hotly and awk wardly for Stelnfeldt He wen: to second on Crawford’s out and came home on Cobb’s singlo to short cen ter. ' Only one more hit and no runs was the best Detroit could do until the sixth, when the Detroiters, In a flno rally, camo from behind and put the game safely away. Mullin, the first man up, walked. Mclnytre singled to left and O’Leary laid down a nice bunt which filled t!>e bases as Pfeister failed to catch Mul lin at third. With nono out, the Mich igan contingent cheered wildly ns bad throw of Stelnfeld’s grounder. Stelnfeldt scored Chicago’s third and last run when Hofman tripled on a line over Coughlin’s head. President C. W. Murphy, of the Chicago team, remained In his office throughout the game owing to a s©- cold. He stated that he would not accompany the team to Detroit to see the games tomorrow and Wednes day, as his doctor had advised him to cure his* present indisposition before further exposing himself.

At the adjourned meeting of tho commissioners a motion was made that that number of convicts be asked for. This county’s pro rata of state con victs, according to population, Is not quite as many as 100, but it is thought that there will bo a few "overs” after the other counties havo been satisfied, and it Is from those "overs” that tho commissioners hope to get tho 100. With 100 convicts on tho roads of the county, Commissioners Kea, who has been looking after the road de partment of tho county,-thinks he can go a great work for the public Jlgh ways. Ho says he could uso 200 to advantage, but great Improvement can be made with one-ha!f that num ber. He has had on the roads of the county during the past two or three years only thirty or forty convicts, and with this small number wonder ful changes have been made in the roadB. Most of the main thorough fares have been straightened, and tvfeqty or thirty miles of roads havo been clayed and nicely greded. The main difficulty experienced In road-building In Laurens, and tho source of the greatest amount of criticism, has been In keoplng up tho rends in the remote sections of the county. Tho commissioners say It has been Impossible to work all tho roads In every section at the same time, While the claying has been going on, not many of tho convicts could bo spared for tho other roads; and the repair work has been neglected In some sections of the county. With the number of convicts asked for, It Is thought that the commis sioners will be able to put Laurens’ highways in splendid condition In a few years.

KINGSTON. Go.. Oct 12.—Some excite ment and not a little corloalty was occa sioned by a peculiar noise in the heavens resembling thunder, followed by a loud noise. Friday evening. There was felt a ellght tremor of the earth at the time tho explosion was heard. It Is thought an aerolite of considerable afro fell to earth In this vicinity, but nothing has been learned as to the lo cality. It was reported that It had fallen and buried itself In the earth on the Best farm, three miles from here, but Inves tigation proves this false. At the same time the shock was felt here, the noise wan Iic/im at ('xihoun,-Dalton and other places, which proves that the strange noise was not thunder, nor was the dis turbance strictly local in extent. Pfeister held the Detroiters hitless In the seventh, but he waa pounded hard again In the eighth. Cobb hit to left for two bases. Ross man beat out a pretty bunt, sending Cobb to tthlrd.

Oct. 12.—Asserting that ' jg that tht business interests of the country would be benefited by the election of \V' J. Bry an former Senator Wm. A.

Mr. Clark saldi "Mr. Bryan is -JBPPN able campaign, and I believe his chance* aro far* better than were those In any of his previous contests. He 1ms behind him a truly united democracy. To me moat foolish thing about this campaign Is the prediction of the opponents of Mr. Bryna that the election of the democratic candidate would Injure business prospects and bring about a panic. It will be dif ficult for Mr. Bryan to do to dis turb business conditions than has Mr. n. I do not hesitate to any that I would not vote for t i whose election In my opinion would Injure the business interests of this nation. I believe the election of Mr. Bryan would stimulate the business world and place It on a firm “ id healthy basis.” Mr. Clark will make several speeches In Montana and other states. HAS MISS ELKINS JILTED ABRUZZI? It Is Now Declared She Won’t Change Her Religion for Foreigner ROME, Italy, Oot, 12 Tho story Is current In high society circles herd that Miss Katharine Elkins, the Amer ican heiress, whose engagement to the Duke of Abrussl, cousin of King Vic tor Emanuel, as has been report ed here and abroad, has jilted her loyaj suitor. One rumor Is that Miss Elkins has refused to change her religion, which would be necessary in case sho became the bride of the duke. No official confirmation of the re ported broken engagement can bo ob tained, but it is hinted that there will be um announcement of some sort shortly, Mother Denies Daughter’s Engage ment. WHEELING. W. Va, Oct. 12*. "No, my daughter Is not engaged to the Duke of Abruzzl or any othor man,” said Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins when questioned upon the subject of Miss Katharine Elkins' much'discuss ed engagement. From this statement It Is now generally believed that no engagement ever existed between the Italian nobleman and Miss Elkins. Tho meeting at the Jamestown ex position was responsible for the mance between the duke and Miss El kins. Tho duke was an attache of tho Italian navy, and was In com mand of the Italian squadron that rep resented King Victor Emanuel. During the time the fleet remained in tho waters off Virginia the duke visited Washington nnd was enter tained at the Italian embassy. There at a reception ho met the daughter of United States Senator Stephen B. El kins. It wns observed that he was very attentive, but that was attributed 'to his courtesy and the vivacity of Miss Elkins. Soon after the meeting tho duke sailed away with his fleet. Society had forgotten, but the rluke had not. In the summer, when Mrs. Elkins and her daughter went to I’arh. the duke learned of their presence and soon after they arrived In the capital the duke arrived. His att»iirions were assiduous. They soon became tho subject of correspondents’ dis patches. The duke Is wealthy. Inheriting tho major portion of the bouse of Saviy. He Is a cousin of the Italian king. Society was puzzled though by the strange silence of the. Elkins family. They wondered why there was no an nouncement. until a week aj>) Mrs. Elkins denied the engagement. Sho was ovasive, but sald4hat at tho prop er time sho would announce tho en gagement. Now It is rumored that the engage ment Is broken off. It is certainly not on the duke’s part.

The : Decision -Handed -Down -By tho Georgia Oourt of Appeals ATLANTA Ga., Oct. 12.—Log.r beer Is on its faco Intoxicating and should be so considered by the courts, In the absoneo of evidence to the con trary, according to a decision handed down today by the Georgia court of appeals. According to the decision It Is unnecessary. In prosecutions for the sale of Intoxicating beverages, to prove that beer Is In thnt class, but the de fense may offer testimony to show that It Is not In that class. The decision was rendered In a case arising under the old liquor laws, but. owing to the wide sale of various brands of beer throughout tho stats now, may havo Important bearing on the enforcement of the prohibition law. The Fltznerald Case. I. M. Crlpe was convicted of sell ing Intoxicating liquors by the city court of Fitzgerald. The nlleged of fense was committed In July, 1907. On appeal, amonr othor grounds. It was argued thnt tho defendant woh convicted of selling beer, but that such waa not shown to bo Intoxicating, and that, therefore, he was not found guilty of selling Intoxicating Jlquors. The court admits thnt the question Is & much mooted ono. with considerable authority on both sides, but holds that the preponderance la that beer Is prlma facie Intoxicating. Opihlon of the Court. •'The authorities differ much as to whether Judicial notice shall be taken of tho fact thnt beer Is Intoxicating," states the opinion ns drawn by Judge Richard Russell. “The stronger cur rent of authority is that where the al legations and the proof are confined to beer, evidence must be adduced to show such beer Is Intoxicating. This Is due to the fact that there nro many beors, such as porslmmon beer, ginger ale. sirruco beer and others, which _ not generally supposed to bo Intoxicat ing. However, on© of tho witnesses In this case testified that the boer In question was lager beer. Lager beer Is so generally known to be an In toxicating malt liquor that the courts enn ns well tako Judicial notice of Its qualities in that regard as of «ny other fact of common notoriety which the courts, In oommon with every other well-informed person, con be prosum- court of Now York,” continues tho opinion, "takes a contrary view, hold ing that the question should ho left with tho Jury. In our own state, In Snider vs. State, 81 Ga., 753, tho ques tion as to w)u thcr tho court should take Judicial notice that beer wax Intoxicating liquor wqs not before the court, nor was lager beer Involved. The liquor there under consideration was pure alcohol. We think, however, that from the reasoning In the Snider case, we can safely deduce that tho court may take judicial cognfxanco of the fact that lager beer is Intoxicat ing; because it Is a fact known to every man of common understanding that what Is ordinarily known as Iagor beor will Intoxicate, and also the fur ther rulo that whore boer Is not well known and recognized as an Intoxi cant proof that It will Intoxicate should be required.” The verdict 1s sustained, •’because.” to uso the language of the court, "we conceive that Judicial knowledge of the Intoxicating quality extends as much to lager beer aa to whlaky.” Road In Hands of Receiver.

Oct. 12.—rn an address at the state university this afternoon W. J.

Rather Than Taft Mr. Bryan said In part: "Governor Hughes, of New York, has been put forward aa the champion of tho Rapubllcan party to attack the democratic remedy for truau. and the president seeme to prefer the argu ment advanced by Mr. Taft I can fairly assume, therefore, that tha ar- gunient presented by Mr. Hughe, la not only the itronge.t argument that hae been prrsenied but the .tronge.t argument that can he prenented, be cause Mr. Roosevelt would not pit him against our platform If ho were not the strongest opponent He has been OFFICERS OF CENTRAL SAME Judge Lovett, of Now York, Succeeds Stuart R. Knott on Board SAVANNAH, Ga., Oct. 12.—The an nual meeting of the atockholdeni of the Central of Georgia railway was held today at the offioes of the com pany on Liberty and Montgomery streets. The only event of Interest was the election of Judge R. 6. Lovett, of New York, as a director. Ho takes the place of Stuart R. Knott. Judge Lovett la general oounsel of the Union Pacific railroad, ono of tho main Har- rim&n properties, and It Is supposod the ohango was mndo at tho Instance of Mr. Harrlman, tho owner of the Central railroad at this time; Upon the conclusion of the meeting of tho stockholders nnd the an nouncemant of the result of tho el«o- tlon, tho directors met and elected officers to servo the ensuing year. There wero no changes. The Ocean Steamship company also held Its annual meeting nnd re elected directors and officers. sent through tho west to strengthon the republican lines. I desire to re mind you, in the first place, that Mr. Hughes represents the eastern repub licans, not the western republicans. Ho was one of tho candidates against Mr. Taft whon Mr. Taft wnn being urged as the representative of ths ad ministration. Mr. Hughos’ friends joined with tho friends of Mr. Can non, Mr. Knox and Mr. Fairbanks In tho effort to prevent tho nomination of Mr. Taft. It Is only fair to as sume, therefore, that Mr. Ilughos Is not a reformer In the senso In which that term Is used by the republicans of tho west. Not In Simpathy With West. **As an evidence that Mr. Hughes in not In sympathy with western reforms you will recall thnt he vetoed a two- ccnt passenger rnto bill, nnd he did this in spite of tho fact that n re publican legislature of Now York passed tho bill. Tho governor* In the western state* signed this bill nnd wo aro now enjoying the benefits of tho two-cent fare. New York Is more thickly settled than tho western stato* and yet ho gavo tho benefit of tho doubt to tho railroads In thoir contest with the patrons. I will not say that he did this beenusa of the contributions mndo tb his campaign fund by Morgan, Depow, tho Vander bilts nnd ono of the Goulds. It Is not neecssnry to assume that these con tributions hud any effect upon bin nr. tlon. It In enough to know thnt ho did not act upon this subjoct as re publican govornorn In tho west acted and I care not what explanation bln fi !• min may malm. If )i<- h:ul sIriu-I tho bill, tho railroads could havo pro tected themsglvos by recourse to ths courts, but wlicn ho vetoed 'the bill, the people had no recourse. Hughoe’ Partiality to Trusts. “It Is not strange that ho should op- poso the democratic remedy on tho trust question, for tho has nover shown any Interest In tho correction of the evils that the trusts have brought upon tho country. I will not nay that this partiality for tho trusts Is due to tho contributions inndo to his cam paign fund by Carnoglo. Havomoyer, Duko and others. It Is not necessary to assume that these contributions In- fluence him At all. It may bo his nat ural disposition to tako tho side of the trust as against the pooplo. "Docs he manifest any concern about tho wrong done to the people l>y the trusts? Not the least. Han ho any remedy? Nono whstnver. With him It Is a subject of amusement; It Is really too funny for anything to think that anybody should try to do anything. "He takes the case of a patent and says our plan would Interfere with patents. What Is Mr. Hughos trying to do? Is he deceived himself or Is he simply trying to deceive those who listen to him? Our anti-trust plank hss nothing to do with patents. The patent Is intended to be a monopoly nnd our reference to patents In an other part of the platform Is sufficient proof that the convention had no In ply to a patent or Is ho so hard press ed for arguments that ho must use that argument anyhow? A patent grants monopoly for a IWnltod time, as a regard for an Invention. The trusts that we are opposed to havo not invented anything and they ac knowledge no limit ns to tfmo. The trust attempts to corner the market and this not only Is against the stat ute law, but It Is an offense against tho common law and an offense against morals. Ths Democratlo Plan. “The plan, which we propose will apply first to corporations which havo not yet reached the 50 per cent limit and to corporations which have al ready reached that limit Corporations which havo not yet reached that limit would simply stop expanding when the limit Is reached and that would entail no hardship upon them and It would not be difficult to apply It to corpora tions Which have already passed ths 60 per cent limit. Laws do not take effect Immediately upon their passage. There Is always a time between the time of enactment and the date when the law take* effect, and a law In volves a material change In condi tions, a sufficient time Is given for necessary readjustments. The first questions to be decided Is how large a proportion of the entire product should on© corporation be permitted to control? If ths limit which we fix of 50 per cent Is too low, Mr. Hughes ought to suggest a higher limit, but when he suggests no llmtt whatever, we must assume thst he does not re gard- the proportion controlled as at all material, and If he dnen not. then his opinion on the trust onsstlon ought not to havo much weight with thoso who do not bellev« that a. private mo nopoly Is Indtfenslble and intolerable. If Mr. Hughes agrees with the trust magnate that a trust Is a blessing. I nsed nott discuss remedies with him at all because a blessing does not re quire a remedy. If he will admit that a private monopoly Is bad, and pre sent a remedy I shall be glad to — rider his remedy and compare It with ours.” EMBEZZLEMENT IS CHARGED TO POSTMASTER ELDERS AT HAGAN; IS CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE HOSPITAL WINS RUSHING CASE Question of Surgeons’ Right to Use Knife on Patients After Death ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 12.—After being In tho courts for about five years and producing in that time whole volumes of pleadings and decisions, tho case of J.
