BROOKLYN TAKES SERIES LEAD IN THIRD BIG GAME

DODGERS HOP ON CALDWELL AT THE START By HENRY FAKREtL, Foiled Prtsi Sports Editor. THIRD SERIES GAME. Brooklyn 2 0000000 ’—2 1 Cleveland 00010000 o—l 3 1 Batteries—B. Smith and Miller; Caldwell, Malls, Uhle and O’Neill, Nnnamaker. T3BBETS FIELD, N. Y„ Oct. 7.—Brooklyn forged to the lead in the 1020 baseball Derby this afternoon when Sherrod Smith, pitching a three-hit game, sent the Indians down to defeat by a score of 2 to 1, The game count In the series stands two to one, with the Robins on the long end. and the teams travel to Cleveland tonight with the Robins In a favorable strategic position for the renewal ot hostilities In the Ohio city Saturday. Supported by a scintillating fielding defense, Smith turned In one of the bestpitched games ever seen In n world's aeries. He was never in danger. Cleveland's one run was directly due *o a schoolboy error by the veteran Zach Wheat In the fourth round when he lev Trie Speaker's vicious doubie roll between his legs to the fence. While he was retrieving the bnll the Indian chief easily completed the circuit. Without Wheat’s error Speaker would have been left marooned on the bases, as the ner.t batsmen were easy Infield outs. Ivy Olson, little Pete Kllduff and big Ed Konetchy furnished the fielding fireworks of the fray. Olson covered ncrev of ground at short and his throwing was perfection Itself. Kilduff pulled two spectacular fielding stunts, while Konetchy at first performed like a youngster. Righ* In the same class with this trio were George Burns, who snagged a foul with one hand out of a right field box, and Tommy Griffith, who made a catch in right field of the regular Speaker variel}'. A couple of Texas I.eagners went to the credit of Steve O'Xeill. That was all the Indans could do. In spite ot their failure to solve Smith and the perfect Brooklyn defense, the Indians fought gamely to the end. They look far from being a beaten club, and seem ready to come back at Brooklyn with Mth fists Saturday. Real baseball weather prevailed today and the result was baseball enthusiasm of the world series variety for the first time In three days. The park was packed to capacity, more than 23,00 P fans getting through the gates. The Inning play In detail follows: FIRST INNING.

Harding met Democratic queries as to his view about scrapping the league with the retort that It 1* futile to talk about scrapping something already scrapped. Declaring he does not wlah to risk the final solution of the problem by being too specific now. Harding said that as soon as possible after his election he will call the best minds of the country, Including Senators, Into couferetoe to formulate his International program. Taking up the league, Harding advocated an America wholly self-reliant and Independent politic Uy. “Whether President Wilson Is to bs blamed or thanked for tbe result It remains that the Paris league has been scrapped by the hand of its chief architect," Harding said. SHAVING HAIR OFF HAIR. “The Issue as made by the Democratic president, the Democratic platform Hnd J the Democratic nominee docs not present the question of whether .he.v shal favor some form of association among the nations for preserving international peace, but whether they favor the particular league proposed by , President Wilson. "The obligations are clear enough and specific enough. “I do not want to clarify these obligations; I want to turn my back on them. It Is not interpretation, but rejection that I am seeking. “M.v position Is that the proposed i league strikes a deadly blow at our' constitutional Integrity and surrenders to a dangerous extent our independence of action. The issue Is clear. “I understand the positidft of the i Democratic candidate and he understands I mine. “In simple words It Is that he favors going Into the league and I favor staying out “His position Is beyond cavil and It Is that we ahall go Into the Paris league without modification or substantial qualification. To such a betrayal of my countrymen 1 will never consent." Europe, Harding continued, is ready to recognize America’s moral leadership. WILL ADVISE WITH SENATORS “As soon ns possible after my election," said Harding. “I shall advise with the best minds In the United States and especially I shall consult In advance with the Senate, with whom, by the terms of the Constitution, I shall Indeed be bound to counsel and without whose consent j (Continued on Fog* Two.)

Grand Jury Frees Man Who Says He Attacked So Many Girls He Can’t Remember All of Them Although ho confessed to attacking so many little girls that he “could not remember ail of them," and was confronted in the city court with nine girls whom he admitted mistreating, Roy Linkenfelter, 24, 1109 North Jefferson avenue, walked out of the Marion County jail last Saturday without ever being called upon to answer in court for his offenses. Linkenfelter was recommended for discharge by the Marion County grand Jury Oct. 2 and the explanation made today by Ralph Jones, deputy prosecutor in charge of the grand jury, was that “there was not sufficient evidence to justify his indictment." When Linkenfelter was captured after a police chase on Aug. 13, 1920, he confessed attacking an 8-year-old gM In the neighborhood of Roosevelt avenue and Haze! street. He said he had been in trouble before for the same thing and had “fixed” it up. “I Just can't help It," he declared to a representative of the Times, who assisted In his capture. When he was brought into court on Aug. 19, 1920, Linkenfelter waived a preliminary examination and was bound over to the grand Jury In the sum of $2,000. RECOMMENDED HIS DISCHARGE FOR LACK OF SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE. There were nine little girls, with their parents, In the courtroom waiting to give testimony of attempted assaults on their person by him. Linkenfelter was remanded to the county Jail to await action by the grand Jury. The grand jury recommended his discharge Oct. 2 “for lack of sufficient evidence." Investigation discloses that the prosecuting attorney failed to bring to the grand Jury evidence which had previously been made public through the newspapers; that the prosecuting attorney failed to call as a witness the Rev. H. O. Kisner, 2610 Roosevelt avenue, pastor of the Fountain Street Methodist Church, who personally captured Linkenfelter following an assault on one little girl, and held him until the police arrived. The Rev. Mr. Kisner today declared his intention of demanding that the grand Jury hear his testimony, even though It has seen fit to discharge the defendant. A search of the records of the criminal court discloses that Roy Linkenfelter was arraigned In criminal court Dec. 3 r 1914, and charged with assault and battery with intent to commit a felony; that he was found guilty of assault and battery, the intent charge being dismissed, and was sentenced to six months In the workhouse and fined $500; that tha Judgment and sentence were suspended during his good behavior.

STORY CARRIED AT TIME OF ARREST. At the time of Llnkenfelter’s last arrest the Times printed the following story: “It I were not s minister I would he s detective,” said Rev. 11. O. Kisner, 2610 Roosevelt avenue, pastor of th# Fountain Street Methodist Church, today as he turned over to the police a man alleged to have attempted to assault sn 8-year-old girl. Th# prisoner was Roy Linkenfelter, 24. r-f 1109 North .Teffersvai avenue. He Is charged with assault and vacraney and Is held under a high bond. Tbe police received a call to Roosevelt avenue and Hazel street on she report that a man had attempted to assnult a little girl. They found a man riding on a motorcycle had enticed a child Into sn alley near that corner. He had been interrupted by a (Continued on Page Tno.) M’CRAY KNOWN AS BUCKETSHOP OWNER AT HOME By Staff Correspondent. KENTLAND, Ind., Oct. 7. —Much surprise Is occasioned here in the home county of Warren T McCray, Republican nominee for Governor, over the fact that his Interest in The Sawyer Grain Company, a firm that deals In grain futures on the Chicago Board of Trade, Is pot more generally known In Indiana. There I* nothing sinister in Mr. McCray's connection with a "bucket shop,” but hta neighbors caa not help but comment on the manner In which he has eliminated all reference to this avocation while on the stump discoursing on his “business ability." "How has he managed to keep It quiet?" is the question his friends ask "It has been generally known for years here that he Is connected with the company and that he has made much of his fortnn# through the Board of Trade.’ Mr. McCray Is vice president of the Sawyer Company and another Kentland man, William Shnmons. is president. Mr McCray, however. Is said to be the controlling spirit of the organization.

It Is explained that the branch was located there In order to assist the elevator operators In the neighborhood to keep abreast of the grain market. According to some reports In Kentland this little branch office netted its owners $50,000 last year. Tbe HepubUcau candidate's Board of Trade relations came Into a more unfavorable light, however, last June, when the llaub Grain Company of Ilaub, Ind., found that nearly $50,000 of the company's money had been lost In Board of Trade transactions.

Goodrich Will Profit by Coal Price Fixing

James P. Goodrich, Governor of Indiana. issued a public statement Joly 13, 1920, relative to Indiana coal In which he said: “I know that It costs less than $3 a ton to put this cool on the ear. I know Just as well as I know that I am alive that I con take an appropriation sufficient to purchase, operate or lease a mine and that I can mine that coal and place it on the car, operating 60 per cent of capacity, for less Ilian $t a ton.” On Oct. 6, the Indiana coal commission, of which Governor James P. Goodrich Is a member, fixed $3 a ion as a fair price for ec&l operators to charge for mine-run coal at the pits The Indiana coal commission, much touted as a price-fixing body, that was to relieve the coa> consumers of Indiana of “intolerable" conditions relative to the market prices of coal, ftxe) a scale of prices ranging from $2.80 a ton foi screenings up to $5.85 a ton for the best grade of Indiana coal at the mines. The price operators are permuted to charge under this Goodrich commission Is thus established at from 80 oeats a ton Usl to $3.85 a ton more thau Goodrich himself declared mss than three months ago was the cost of nuctlng this coal on the cars. Mr. Goodrich Is well qualified to sp*nk as an expert on tbe cost of .pera’ilg s coal mine, for in a statement made to rue State Legislature July 19. 1920, Mr. feroodrlch admitted buying SIO,OOO ot the lw><’lc of the Lenoir Coal Company and Bvlug it to his son as a wedding pr■Lt and on that day in zsComsoo to th<

COAL SUPPLIES NOT AVAILABLE AT NEW PRICES Commission’s Action Puts Stop to Movement of Fuel. COURT BATTLE IS SEEN Not a pound of Indiana coal was for Bale In Indianapolis today at margins of profit fixed by the Special Coal and Food Commission, so far as could be determined. Coal operators, in statements, took the attitude that the orders of the commission do not apply to contract coal. This also Is apparently the attitude of retailers who are refusing to abide by the commission’s orders. They contend that the order also does not apply to coal mined outside of the State and shipped Into the State. An authority on coal production said that 95 per cent of the coal produced In Indiana Is contract coal and not subject to tbe price fixed by the commission. It la pointed out that, consequently, under the act of the Legislature In special session, the commission’s ruling* are confined to a very small percentage of the coal produced. OPERATORS’ ATTITUDE IN EDITORIAL. Operators cited aa editorial by K. (J Adam* in the last Issue of tne American Coal Miner as expressive of their attitude. The editorial brands the attempts of the Goodrich administration to fix coal prices as “Bunko Control" and state* that the “whole scheme Is a colossal •bnnko game’ and predicts that “the attempt to penalize the coal operators of the state to boost the political aspirations of Governor Goodrich, or to swell his returns on Investments In public utilities, will fall and the coal consumers who have held off buying will pay the market price for coal, as the people In other States are doing.” The editorial reads; “The Indiana coal Industry i* about to be penalized for the high prices for spot coal which have prevailed for the past four months. “The State coal commission, created by a special session of the State legislature, at the behest of Governor Goodrich, who Is interested In coal properties, but whose other interests in public utilities outweigh his coal holdings, will name coal prices and margins within the next few days. “The operators failed in an attempt in the Federal Court to enjoin the commission from exercising the control provided In the bill creating It. "Contract coal is not subject to the prices to be fixed by the commission. Interstate shipments are also exempted. "The most profitable markets for Indiana coal are located In Illinois and Michigan. Taking Into account the railroad contracts and the Illinois and Michigan business, the bulk of Indiana coal Is contracted up, and even the tonnage sold in the State, excepting domestic, is practically all contracted. “It will, of course, be necessary for the Governor's commission to deliver coal to whoever wants it at prices fixed by the commission. If the political plan of coal control is to succeed. This the commission can not do. Operators will fill their contracts In other States upon which they are dependent for business In normal times. "Consumers now holding off buying awaiting the reduced prices to be fixed by the commission will be clamoring for coal at the price named. Unable to-*lle-llver, the commission will attempt to confiscate coal mined In the State for State consumers and then the operators will go Into court, make the necessary showing and no doubt will be sustained In their right to fill their contracts and supply the usual markets that theyhave served. The attempt to penalize the coal operators of the State to boost th# political aspirations of Governor Goodrich or to swell his returns on Investments in public utilities will fail, and the coal consumers who have held off buying will pay the market price for coal, aa tha people In other States are doing. “The whole scheme Is s colossal bunko game.’ born In the mind of a scheming politician, who has made a miserable failure aa chief executive of the State In every particular.” s . The attitude of retailers, Jobber* and operators was voiced In no uncertain terms by representative* of tbe three classes of dealer* who complained to Jesse E. Escbbach, head of the commission. The Bunting Coal Company of Warsaw, of which L. E. Bunting is president, filed the first formal complaint. The company will receive a hearing at Its request at 10 o’clock Monday morning, when It will present Its operating cost sheets and data which President Bunting declares will show that his company can not operate at a marginal profit of $2.23 a ton, as fixed by the commission. He claims his company can no’ operate at less than $2.45 a ton and survi e. Chairman Eschbach said other dealers. retailers, wholesalers, operators, or others who can show the commission they can not operate under the order* Issued that the companies affected will be re-classified and a fair effort will be made to give them consideration. Inquiries at the coal yards showed that onl ya very few have any Indiana coal for sale and that these are asking $10.50 to $11.25 a ton. This condition exist* despite the fact (Continued on Page Four.)
