Y., Oct. 11 — (Special to Daily Democrat) Jess Barnes- the big, slim serious faced Giant star, eased into heroes’ row this afternoon when he downed the Yankees 8 to 5 in the sixth game of the world’s series, Barne’s curve balled the American league club into submission and evened the count to 3to 3 in the race for the championship.

In the second inning he was bumped for two hits, a single by Shawkey and a home run by Fewster who made good in the game as a sub for the great Babe Ruth.

SAVING MADE I WITH GRATES Council Accepts Erdman Fuel Savings Grates After Test is Made MUCH COAL SAVED Test Proves That Fifteen Percent. Can Be Saved— Increased Capacity. Conducting a test to convince themselves and to check the figures submitted by the Erdman Fuel and Engineering company of Knoxville, Tennessee, the council members of the electric light committee, through Engineer David McNaughton, found that the new fuel saving grates installed by the Erdman company, under the 400 H. P. and the 300 H P. boilers at the municipal light and water plant were saving the city over fifteen per cent on it’s coal bills and ' at the same time were increasing the capacity of the two boilers at least twenty-five per cent. A forty-eight hour test was made by both the Erdman company and the city of Decatur and the percentages of saving were found to be about the same by both parties. Mine run coal was used in both tests and in manufacturing 327 H. P. per hour under the old Kelley grates 74.477 pounds were used while with the new Erdman grates the test showed that 349 H. P. per hour was developed with only 66,862 pounds of coal or equal to 15.6%, and figured at the price of coal today, $5.50 per ton delivered at the plant it means a sav--1 ing in money of $471.30. Besides saving coal the test shows that the capacity of the J>QUer,s is increased, it being possible to develop more horse power per day with less coal by using the Erdman grates. Grates are Accepted Meeting last night the members of the electric light committee and (Continued on page two) ENGINEERS WILL VISIT DECATUR Fort Wayne Section of American Institute of Electrical Engineers ARE COMING HERE In Special Car Thursday Evening to Inspect Decatur Sugar Factory.

Lloyd George introduced the Irish plenipotentiaries to his colleagues of the British cabinet and in a brief speech, welcomed the visiting delegates and outlined the possibilities of the conference. Arthur Griffith, Sinn Fein foreign minister, responded. The epocal conference today began under a cloud with reports from Ireland of shooting, kidnapping and outrages making, the delegates’ task most difficult. It was felt that reference to these disturbances in Ireland would cause the first skirmish of the conference.

Timothy Galvin for Columbus Day IS COMING SUNDAY And Will Talk to Knights of Columbus at Hall—A Noted Speaker. The public meeting planned for Wednesday evening in observance of Columbus Day has been called oft on account of the inability to secure the Hon. Timothy Galvin of Valparaiso as the principal speaker of the evening. Lack of time prevented the se curing of another speaker for the event so the committee in charge decided to cancel the public celebration of Columbus Day. Mr. Galvin informed the committee that he would like to come to Decatur and if they desired he would come here Sunday evening. Os course the committee was glad for the chance to get him here, he being a most forceful and eloquent speaker, so the invitation was extended that he come here Sunday evening. He will talk to the Knights of Columbus at their hall at eight o'clock and no doubt the hall will be packed with members. Mr. Galvin is one of the best known attorneys in Indiana and the committee regrets that he found it impossible to come here for Columbus Day, making it necessary to can cel the public meeting. C. F. Bucher from near Geneva was a business, visitor here today. NOTICE Our store will be closed Wednesday and will open Thursday morning. BERNSTEINS. MR.
