Settlement of Georgia Railroad
and Joint Terminals Issues
Reached at Conference.
TRAINS WILL BE RUNNING j
AGAIN WITHIN TWO DAYS
Settlement Terms Satisfactory
to Both Sides—Dr. Neill
Confirms Peace Pact.
The strike on the Georgia railroad
and in the Atlanta terminals will be
settled within 24 or possibly 48 hours,
and the threatened general strike on
other lines is averted. This is an of
ficial statement.
After long conferences with officials
on both sides one of the men present
at the conference in the Piedmont hotel
'ante out of the room and gave the
following statement to the press:
After conferences held late last night
and today, the prospects seem more fa
vorable for a. settlement and termina
tion of (he. strike than at any time
since negotiations have been under
«ay.”
Dr. Neill Confirms
Settlement Report.
Dr. Charles P. Neill, United States
ommissioner of labor and mediator in
the railroad troubles, was shown this
statement He confirmed it. This was
tie first time Dr. Neill had made any
statement or confirmed or denied any
ether statement for publication.
Upon insistent questioning, those at
the conference said the strike probably
would be adjusted to the satisfaction of
both sides within 24 hours; traffic prob
ably would be fully resumed within 48
hours. No terms of the. agreement were
riven out.
I'he strike on the Georgia road be
can just twelve days ago. Freight traf
fic has been tied up completely, and
running of passenger trains has
hrm only occasional.
I'he railroad commission today an
nounced that it would make an in
vestigation to determine who is at fault
’ n 'l then demand that the traffic on
0 Georgia be resumed. The commis
sion s statement follows:

ROSE SWEARS BECKER
DEMANDED SLAYING
NEW YoRK. Oct. It’. Tremb ing in
everj limb, and almost as pale as a
sheet. Gambler Jack Rose look the
stand at the trial of Police lieutenant
t'liar ts I.' io r for tne murder of lit r-
I
I tnan Rost mhal today, and -v.oie that
| the police official had ordered the as
sassinauon. This was the climax of
sensational testimony, in which Rose
had revealed his own relations and
those of Rosenthal with tie man now
now on trial.
Coming to the crucial point .of his
testimony. Rose said:
“Becker said to nn . 'I want that
man (Rosenthal> ended-for all time to
come. I want him eroal-md, shot, mur
dered o: dynamited. I could beat him
up myself. All I would have to de
would be to raid him and belt him up
foi resisting arrest. You don't sup
pose 1 would ask you to go into any
thing where you would be taking a
chance, do you? There is no chance
for any one who has a hand in murder
ing Rosenthal. You can assure Zelig
and bis crowd there Is absolutely no
danger. You know I have made good
in everything 1 undertook. You know
that men have been croaked before by
policemen I want you to go and see
Zelig. Tell him I will take care of that
Case of his for carrying concealed
weapons. Explain to him about Rosen
thal.
“ Show him the danger he and hi:
gang are in from the Rosenthal squeal.
Ask him to issue an order to some of
his gang to croak Rosenthal tonight.’”
“Big Jack” Zelig is the gang leader
who was shot to death on a Second
avenue street car last Saturday.
Went to Tombs
To See Zelig.
Rose then went on
“J then asked Becker if he cared if 1
took Harry Vallon with me. And when
lie said ‘No’ I got Vallon out of bed
and we went to the Tombs. Becker
said as I was going, 'Be sure, if possi
ble, to have it done tonight, and then
by tomorrow it will be all over.”’
Zelig at this time was in Jail for car
rying concealed w-eapons. Rose con
tinued :
“When we got in to see Zelig. the
first thing I did was to hand him SIOO,
saying 'Becker sent this to you Ze
llg replied. 'I don’t want any money.
I want to get out of here. You and
i Be ’<v“i got me into t on a frame-up
I and you promised to get me out. Now ,
the district attorney is rushing me to
trial, and I’ve got fourteen years stat
ing me in the face.’
" Yea.’ I said: I brought you this
after telling Becke- all about your case,
He said not to worr, as he would tak<
< are of you. But he wants to ask a
favor of you ’ Zelig said, ’Don’t ask
any favors of me until y ou get me out
of this hole' I then left Zelig and 1
saw Becker the nex, morn ng and oid
him what Zel.g had said Rei'kei then
said, Then u< will -tai whvie he is
and the cir tge m the indictment stands
as it reads, Emm now on I will settle
’.. ith ever}/ one of that gang.'
, “I suggested to Becker that I go to
see soma of Zclig’s friends. He said
it-would bi dl right and to warn them
he -aid. ’that nothing happens to any
one who croak-t Rosenthal.’
Warned ‘ Whitey" and
“Lefty" of Frame-Up.
"I went up to Southern Boulevard
nd saw Whitey' and ‘Lefty’ ami told
vhem,. I am to warn you fellows you
are in danger of the same fate as Ze
lig.' They said. We don't carry guns
j my imy e ’ J told therif that I knew
that,-but -.that Zelig had been framed up

By “BILLY” SMITH. r -
BOSTON, Oct. 12. The Red Sox this afternoon won the fourth
I aanie of their series with the Giants. Following is how the game was
I played :
FIRST INNING.
Jusi liciOic the teams get away in
their tii’th struggle, a 25-foot section of
the center field railing gives way with
an awful noise and lets a hundred or
so fans come tumbling onto the field.
The drop is a short one and nobody is
hurt. Before they have time fairly to
pick themselves up. the teams are
away.
It is a big surprise to the fans when
Bedient takes his place on tire slab
for the Red Soj. They have felt that
Collins was due. Bedient makes a
v.Toteired start. The first four hurls
are called bulls b\ Umpire “Bill" Evans
and Devore gets on. Doyle lifts a sky
scraper to Lewis. Snodgrass then
spoils it tor New York by hitting into
a double play and he, Devore and the
side are retired. Wagner to Yerkes to
Stahl. No runs, no hits, no errors.
Hooper gives Matty a torrid recep
tion by swiping into the first ball pitch
ed for a single, Yerkes laces into the
second ball sent him for a fly-out to
Kletcher. Speaker slips a single just
short of Devore, and Hooper moves on
to the keystone. Lewis waits out a few
and finally stings one to Herzog, who
forces Hooper. Then, with the whole
thing depending on Gardner, lie falls a
victim to the Old Master and fans. It
is corking work lor Matty. Two hits,
no runs, no errors.
SECOND INNING.
Bedient gets away badly in the sec
ond, with three straight balls, which
is exactly what he gave Devore in t-he
first half of the first. Merkle pushes
one down to Gardnei and is out to
Staid. Murray gor-s forward a base
on this Herzog pops to Yerkes. Mey
ers hits a mighty wallop, but Hooper Is
under it No runs, no hits, no errors.
Stahl smashes one hard to Pletcher
and retires to Merkle. Wagner finds a
ball to his liking and pushes it short of
Murray for a single. Cady out. Math
ewson to Merkle, on an extremely fee
ble grounder. Tins moves Wagner
along to second, where he expires when
Bedient grounds to Doyle and is out to
Merkle. Matty seems to have settled
down to his regular stride. He Is let
ting them hit. but lie seems able to
tighten up in the pinches. No runs,
one hit, no error®.
THIRD INNING.
Pletcher lifts to Hooper The Peer
less Matty shows that his talents aren't
entirely confined to the hurling end by
smashing a sing e to center. Devore,
W’ith “three and two” on him, lets the
deciding one slip by and Bill Evans
calls it a ball. Doyle skies one to
Speaker but of course there is no ad
vance. Snodgrass fouls to Cady and
another good chance to score goes
glimmering No runs, °ne hit, no er
rors.
Hooper sets the ball rolling for the
Red Sox with a triple to left. It was
a ferocious wallop. Yerkes follows, and
on the first ball Matty slips him he
mauls It for three sacks, scoring Hoop
er. Matty looks old and rather wan
and worried as he faces Speaker It
appears that he Is "grooving ’em," and
if he is and can't quit it his time on
the slab will be limited. Speaker taps
an easy one down to Doyle and the Na
tional league’s automobile winner errors
|lt miserably Yerkes scores, and
; Speaker is nabbed at second, from .Mur
ray to Pletchei , v hen Tris tries to get
an extra base on the error. Lewis
grounds to Matty and Is out to Merkle.
Gardner rolls one to Merkle and Is out
at first. Two runs, two hits, one error.
FOURTH INNING.
Mui raj skies to Yerkes Merkle
takes three straight strikes and Is out
Herzog after fouling one to tile right
field bleachers and another near Cadv,
lifts one to Stahi. No runs, no hits, no
errors.
Stahl swings wildly on the first ball
pitched him and grounds to Herzog,
who nails him to Merkle Wagner

bo.v is getting to look good again No
uns, no hits, no errors.
FIFTH INNING.
Meyers gets a hit to open the fifth
inning, but he has to work for it. After
two strikes and a ball have been called
on him. he swiped four fouls in a. row.
1 Then a second ball goes over. And then
Meyers meets it squarely for a single
to left. Pletcher balloons one to Hoop
er. Mathewson fails to duplicate hit
1 previous hit and fans. Devore pokel
- out a liner that backs Speaker way up,
1 but tlie Texan gets it. No runs, one
’ hit, no errors.
• As the game has been prog e?«fng
the fog has gradually blow n and burned
1 away and now there is only a mild haze.
> This is a big help to spectators and to
‘ outfielders, wffio had heavy going
> through the fog at the start.
Bedient lines one, to Merkle that spins
him around, but he hangs to it. Hooper
grounds to Doyle and Is out to Merkle,
i Yerkes grounds to Fletcher and Is out
i to Alerkle. It is another good inning
tor the Giant pitcher and if his team
i mates ever solve the delivery of Be
dient, which they show no signs of do
> Ing, he may get a victory. No runs, no
i hits, no errors.
SIXTH INNING.
Doyle grounds sharply to Yerkes and
, is thrown out to Stahl. Snodgrass, aft
er taking a strike, lifts to Gardner
Murray fouls to Gardner. Up to thi
tlme Bedient’s showing has been Ut
most impressive of any pitcher in th
entire series. The Giants are as help
1 less as school boys before him. He
‘ seems to have swell curves, excellent
1 control, a good change of pace and a
peck of confidence No runs, no hits,
no errors.
' Speaker bounds one down to Doyle
and goes out to Merkle. Lewis stings
one on the ground to Herzog and is
out at first. Gardner slips one on the
ground to Merkle and is out. It’s an
other fine Inning for Mathewson. If
the old boy had started tike this, rhe
score would be a tight tie No rune, no
1 hits, no errors.
’ SEVENTH INNING.
Merkle puts a dent In the Red Rox
defense by smashing a two-bagger to
’ left Herzog, with two strikes on him.
’ lifts a pop-up to Wagner. Meyers, the
plnh boob, files to Speaker. Merkle
hugs second base until the ball lands
in Speaker's hands and then beats ft
for third. McGraw then takes a
chance. Instead of sending In Fletch-
• er, McCormick is put in to bat—and
he does bat, a grounder to Gardner,
! that no living man could have han
‘ died. Merkle scores on this hit. Shafe-
Is put in to run for McCormick and of
1 course will go to short. Mathewson
’ grounds to Gardner and is out to
Stahl. One run. two hits, no errors.
Stahl goes out, Mathewson to Mer
kle. Wagner grounds out, Shafer to
< Merkle. Cady is out. Herzog to Mer
i kle. No run®, no hits, no error®.
EIGHTH INNING.

i who makes a pretty stop. Snodgrass
I fans. No runs, no hits, no errors-. ■.
