ARCHBOLD IS
RECALLED
BYSENATE
PROBERS
Head of Standard Oil Again
Quizzed on Trust’s Political
Activities. v
ADMITS ‘HEARST’ LETTERS
WERE WRITTEN BY HIM
Acknowledges Missives to Fo
raker —Checks Were for At
torney Fees.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10.—John D.
Archbold, president of the Standard Oil
Company, of New Jersey, was recalled
today by the senatorial committee in
vestigating campaign contributions, and
the probe was again taken up as to the
political activities of the oil trust.
A. H. Plant, of Alabama, president
of the Southern railway, was called
preceding \Mr. Archbold.
Plant declared he knew of-no con
tributions made to the pre-convention
campaign of 1912. Senator Clapp then
asked the witness whether he had turn
ed over to the Underwood people a
large sum of money.
"I did not,” replied Mr. Plant. ”1
know Mr. Underwood, but 1 had no
connection with the Underwood cam
paign."
This refuted the sworn assertion of
Senator Dixon that the Southern rail
way had largely backed the Under
wood pre-convention fight.
After Mr. Archbold had been called
to the stand. Senator Pomerene ap
parently suspicious that Plant had been
"holding out" on him, asked the South
ern railway official if he knew of any
contributions from his corporation to
the Underwood or other campaign
funds.
“There were none,” replied Plant.
Admits Writing
“Hearst” Letter to Foraker.
Mr. Archbold had been sworn on his
previous appearance, but no oath was
administered when he took the stand
to supplement his testimony given
about two months ago.
Chairman Clapp then questioned Mr.
Archbold.
Q. 1 show you from page 2, 206, of
Hearst's Magazine for May, 1912, what
purports to be a letter dated March 6,
1900. from you to Foraker.

Open State Campaign:
50 Atlantans In Ranks
Progressive Women in Rally
Here Urged On to Battle By
Mrs. M. E. Long.
Georgia Moosettes today launched the
first political campaign ever waged by
women in this state, following a fair
sized gathering at the Piedmont hotel
last night and an address by Mrs. M. E.
Long, one of the woman Progressive
leaders in New York.
Mrs. Long declared that the Roose
velt party was gaining strength every
day and that its success would mean
the dawn of a new era for women in
this country. About 50 women signed
their names to the Moose pledge.
Mrs. Thaddeus Horton, chairman for
the Fifth congressional district, said
200 women had applied for charter
memberships, and it was planned to
carry the campaign into the towns of
north and central Georgia.
Mrs. W. H. Felton and Mrs. Mary L.
McLendon made talks praising the Pro
gressive platform.
ATLANTA AVE. GETS
CITY WATER MAIN
DESPITE PROTEST
When the property owners on At
lanta avenue, a street on which there
are but few houses, petitioned the wa
ter board yesterday afternoon for a
main, Mayor Winn admonished the
board that the city’ should not spend
its money in laying pipe on vacant
streets when many thickly settled
streets still were without water con
nections.
It was called to the attention of the
board that Atlanta avenue has sewers,
curbing and sidewalks. These were
built on the assessment plan. The bond
ordinance also provides that water
mains shall be laid in the street, so
the board ordered the main laid.
On the petition of the officers at
Fort McPherson, the board promised
to try to provide city water for the
fort.

Archbold, sending $14,500 to Foraker.
The witness explained this check with
the same words as before.
All Explained

A third note, "enclosing $10,000,” was
next read. The witness acknowledged
having sent such a letter and check,
saying that this also was for Senator
Foraker's legal fees.
Five thousand dollars was the amount
mentioned in the fourth note and the
former Ohio senator. Archbold said, got
this money also for his services as

MARQUARD AND O'BRIEN
TO FIGHT IT OUT TODAY
EXPERTS IN DEADLOCK
WITH THEIR PROPHESIES
NEW YORK. Oct. 10.—There was another disagreement in
“the baseball jury” today over the comparative merits of the
New York Giants and the Boston Red Sox in yesterday’s world's
championship game in Boston. The preponderance of opinion
seemed to be that luck was again against the Giants. Here’s what
they say:
Ty Cobb, of the Detroit Tigers: “All the luck in the game
broke against the Giants.”
Bill Carrigan, Red Sox catcher: “We have the jump on the
Giants and expect to keep it.”
Hugh Jennings, manager of the Detroit Tigers:, “Fortune
was against the Giants.”
Hugh Fullerton, the expert baseball writer: “The Red Sox
showed more skill and better all-around work than the Giants.”
John J. McGraw: “Things look better to me today. We have
hit the Boston pitching staff and hit it hard. The way the boys
are batting makes me feel much better. Mathewson’s work was
masterly. ”
Jake Stahl: “It was a tough game to lose. Both teams played
hard. I still expect to win the series. The Red Sox will out-game
the Giants finally.”
Jeff Tesreau: “1 was the greatest and most thrilling battle I
ever saw. Matty with nerves of steel fought a ferritic battle.”
Damon Runyon, baseball writer for The New York American:
“The Giants’ errors was heart-breaking and at that they dffi not
dismay Mathewson.”
Christy Mathewson: “It was the hardest game 1 ever pitched.
Stage fright or overanxiety beat us. It does not seem possible that
a man like Fletcher would cave in as he did yesterday. It cost us
the game.”
“Chief” Meyers: “Well, we tackled the Red Sox in their
own back yard, and in the face of disadvantages drove two of
their best pitchers off the mound. We are still confident.”
Rube Marquard: “Dame fortune went against us. But 1 ex
pect to see Matty redeem himself in the box Saturday. He did
swell work, but he was not at his best. He had laid off too long.”
BURIAL OF 450-POUND MAN
PROBLEM FOR UNDERTAKER
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.—William
H. Weissner, a saloon keeper, who died
yesterday, is so large that it has been
necessary for his undertaker to order a
specially made coffin for him. Weiss
ner weighs 450 pounds and is six feet
tall, and his death has presented a
number of trying problems for his fam
ily and the undertaker.
No coffin large enough for the man
will pass through the doors of his
home, and It will be necessary to move
the body from the room in which
Weissner died on the second floor to
the first floor, where it will be placed
in the coffin tomorrow and then taken
out through the double doors of the
saloon. It may be necessary to lay the
body out In the barroom itself.

WIFE’S SUICIDE ATTEMPT
PHILADELPHIA, Oc, 10.—Glancing
in a mirror in his dining room side
board last night, John Zolinaff saw
the reflection of his wife, who was in
the kitchen, in the act of raising a
bottle of poison to her lips in an ef
fort to end her life. The man rushed
to the room and knocked the bottle
from her hand, not. however, before
she had swallowed a quantity. She
was hurtled to the Pennsylvania hos
pital. where doctors say her husband’s
promptness saved her life.

Betting Odds Shift to Even Money as
Result of Yesterday’s Great Showing
by Giants, Yet Wise Ones Figure Red
Sox as Having a Better Chance.
By W. S. FA RNSWORTH. i
(Sporting Editor of The Georgian.)
BOSTON, MASS., Oct. 10.—Rube Marquard and Hugh Bedient or
Buck O'Brien will do the hurling today in the third game of the
world’s scries, and if both pitch up to their recent form the 30,000
fans who will be on hand may expect a royal hurling battle.
With the count standing one victory for the Red Sox and one
game an eleven-inning tie, both teams appreciate what a victory means
today. If the Boston team cops it they will have the championship
practically cinched. The Giants realize that they must be returned
victors or be satisfied with the losers’ share of the gate receipts.
Red Sox Should
Win the Series.
Despite the fact that the Giants
held the Red Sox to a tie yester
day, I still believe the Red Sox the
better machine and that they will
succeed the Athletics as title hold
ers. But Stahl’s men do not class
with the Maekmen of 1911. They
don’t work with the same smooth
ness as did the Athletics and they
fail to grasp the opportunities of
fered. But they are a better team
than the Giants.
Behind the bat, Cady and Carri
gan have displayed much intelli
gence in managing the pitchers.
Meyers has shown poor judgment
time and again in calling for a
groove ball when the count has
been two and nothing against the
batter.
Wood is a better pitcher than any
man the Giants have shown yet, al
though I do believe that Tesreau will
give the Ri'd Sox a heap of trouble his
next out. He has a marvelous spitter
and the Boston lads don't like this wet
fling, let me tell you. If Tesreau will
only gauge his strength better he is
likely to beat any man Boston sends
in against him. possibly barring Wood.
Collins looks good. He is not an Ed
die Plank, or a Nap Rucker. But if
Lewis had not dropped an easy fly
yesterday at a critical time I believe
the southpaw would have won his game
in a walk. That unnerved him and he
couldn't cut the corners. Every ball
he turned loose seemed to be in the
batter's groove. I look for Collins to
cop sure in his next game.
Mathewson Seems
Nearly All In.
As for Mathewson, he seems to be
about done. He didn't have a blessed
tiling on the baJl yesterday. He used
his head and by mixing what little
stuff he did have he managed to get
through to an even break.
If McGraw sends him back before
EXTRA
2 CENTS EVERYWHERE
next Monday, Boston will beat him
sure. This will leave it up to Tesreau
and Marquard to do a lot of work. Tes
reau is sure to give an account of him
self, but Marquard is a rank in-and
outer and time alone will tell what ha
will show.
Boston’s infield, defensively and of
fensively, has made the Giants’ inner
works look like a bush league quartet
Herzog alone has played champion
ship ball for the Giants. The othei
three men have been inconsistent.
Murray has been fielding and hitting
like a demon. He has already more
than squared accounts for the poor
showing he made against the Athletics
last fall. But Snodgrass, Devore and
Becker have been outclassed by Speak
er, Hooper and Lewis.
Weather Clears
Up Just in Time.
A light rain fell during the night and
brought dismay to more than 30,000
persons who had planned to attend the
third game of the world's baseball se
ries between the Giants and Red Sox
this afternoon.
Shortly after 7 o’clock, however, the
clouds began to disappear and at 8
o’clock the sun was shining brightly,
with indications pointing to an ideal
day, much warmer than yesterday.
The temperature at 8 o’clock stood at
68 degrees.
As a result of the tie game played
yesterday by the two contending clubs,
the betting today was at even money
on the series instead of at 10 to 6 as
yesterday.
Officials of the Boston American
league club declared that only a down
pour could prevent today's game. The
night rain failed to affect the grounds.
The infield was covered with canvas
immediately after yesterday’s game was
called on account of darkness.
It was a cold, rainy, cheerles night
outside of Fenway park. Gone were
the fans who on the first night before
the big game had waited in line for
the privilege of buying early rush seats
at 50 cents and $1 each. Early fn the
evening young women gathered out
side the gate, but the rain drove them
away. At 2 a. m., John A. Decoursey
appeared carrying a soap box up tc
the gate and began the long wait unti 1
