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. A. 1 have no doubt 1 wrote the letter. y. It reads: "According to our un derstanding.

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. PETER WILLIAMS DEAD. ADEL, GA..

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 counsel.

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. AIRSHIP BURNS IN HANGAR. BERLIN. Oct 10. Fire totally de stroyed the German military airship M 3 in the hangar at Tegel, a suburb, today. No one was hurt GLANCE IN MIRROR SPOILS 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. TROUP FAIR JUDGES NAMED. LAGRANGE, GA., Oct. 10.—Judges for the Troup county fair are Profes sor Milton F. Jarnlgan, of the state college of agriculture, hogs and colts; Professor L. L. Jones, of the state col lege. poultry, John Wilkinson, of Ho gansville, farm products; Professor <'ampbell, of Athens, corn, ond E. L. Johnson, of this fity, floweri 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
