CLKAR AND WARM. CLEVELAND. Oct. 12.—A1l doubt as to whether the seventh (fame of the world’s series would be played here this afternoon was dispelled by 9 o’clock, when the sun came out from behind the clouds. Today promisee to be one of the warmest since the opening of the series here. By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. CLEVELAND, Oct. 12. —The ID'-’O world's baseball series will pass into the realm of things that have been today unless all signs fall. Two things may occur to prolong the series. One Is a Brooklyn victory, the other a rainy day. Os the two tne. weather looked the most dangerous. | Gray, gloomy skies greeted Cleveland. this morning and there was the smell! of rain in the air. But the Indians and i Dodgers were banking on playing the \ seventh game. The Indians are as good as In with ! the world's cbemplonshlp. The Dodgers are as good as through. Cleveland has every advantage over! Manager Robinson's aggregation from Flatbnsh, for Cleveland must win only one more game while the Dodgers must j win three straight. SPEAKER HAS CHOICE OF THREE. Manager Speaker lias three pitchers ready to inject into today’s pastime. One is Stanley Coveleskie, who has beaten the Dodgers twice. Ray Caldwell is also ready to start and George Uhle has an outside chance. Robinson has Burleigh Grimes and ' Bube Marquard. He also has A1 Mamaux and Jeff Pfetfer. bnt there was 0q45a ghost of a chance that either of this ! latter pair would get into the seventh game. The fact that Sherrod Smith, a southpaw. has looked better against the Indians tban any other Dodger pitchers, may influence Robinson to start a lefthander, and if this is the case Marqaard will get another chance. But Grimes looked like the logical selection. Regardless of Robinson's pitching selection today it was. the general belief! that the Indian steam roller would con-, tlnue on its way. V. Speaker's boys ni* full of ginger and j confidence. And tUiy are bitting. The" Dodgers, on the onier hand, are hopelessly out of it and the realization can not possibly help their morale. LFCK ALSO AIDS CLEVELAND. Cleveland has been lucky in the series to date. The Indians, however, have made many of their own breaks as a good , ball club Is always bound to do, and for the most part they have been entitled to everything they got. There was a rather strange turn of j fate in the winning of the sixth game by the Indians—the game that has all but clinched the coveted title—in that Duster Mails, whose good left arm mowed the Dodgers down, is a Brooklyn castoff. When Mails was with the Dodgers in 1916 they won the championship and later lost the world's series to the Red Pox, bnt as Malls was considered ex- ' cess baggage he was released to Pittsburgh and did not share in the cutting of the world's series pie. Malls never forgave Wilbert Robinson, for releasing him. He believed that ho was capable of holding his own If given the proper chance, and he flghred that he never got that chance in Brooklyn. Monday Mails turned In the victory that put a perfectly good world’s series In the has-been class, and he is one cheerful left-hander. Small wonder he pitched the best game of his career against the Dodgers. He would rather have won the game than anything else In the world While Cleveland fans are lauding Mails

they are not overlooking the share that George Burns had In the victory. The left-handed first-sacker of the, Indians, a Detroit castoff, put the game on les for the Tribe with his timely double, and as far a; Cleveland Is concerned he Is a bright world's series star today. Burns, incidentally, is the second player in the discarded by Detroit to bring disaster to the Dodgers. In 1916 when the Robins struggled against Boston, Del Gainer, who had been released by the Tigers, was called, from the bench to pinch hit for Larry Gardner 'n the fourteenth inning, with the score standing 1 to 1. Gainer rapped out a double that spelled defeat for Brooklyn, and, strangely enough, it was Sherry Smith who pitched the game.

STINTS STATE, BUT NOT SELF, DAVIS CHARGES Democratic Nominee for Prosecutor Exposes New Tricks of G. O. P. Official. STRESSES LEPPERT CASE Addressing a meeting at Morris and West streets last night. Paul G. Davis, Democratic nominee for the office of prosecuting attorney of Marion County, 1 emphasized his assertions that unpaid j balance of Xl,r>oo upon Judgments against I Lorenz Leppert upon forfeited blind tiger bonds could be collected if the Republican prosecutor would go after it. Mr. Davis charged that the Republican prosecutor has endeavored to compromise certain forfeited bond eases upon a 60 per cent basis for the State and at the same time getting a 100 per cent fee for Kim self. Mr. Davis's speech follows: I have repeatedly charged that the unpaid balance of $1,500 upon the judgments against Lorenz Leppert In favor , of the State upon forfeited blind tiger bonds for s2,tY>' which the Republican prosecuting attorney, without the semblance of legal authority, has attempted to compromise end satisfy of record for SSOO, can be collected if the pros cutor will order execution upon ilies Judg. incuts. , 1 have, a number of times, pointed out that the unpaid Palau e upon these Judgments U a first lien upon the real estate located at the corner of Harding and Washington streets, which Is appraised for taxation at $1.1,740, and the ltep.iblCHn prosecutor has for some rea-on. known only to himself, declined to take the necessary steps to place tlHs sum of motley In the public funds. In answer to my charges he has said that he was given the authority to com. promise these Judgments against I.ep pert, the man twice convicted of operating a blind tiger, by the State Board of Account*, but I have seen no such statement from Mr. Esebbacfa. the bead of the State Board of Accounts, and 1 assert that no such sratement will he made bv him and there he DROPS SUBJECT. He has also said that these judgments against Leppert, the man who In the days of booze ran a notorious saloon la the redllgh-t ’ district, were compromised In the “customary manner.'' but he has declined to throw any further light upon his meaning or to furnish the public with the list of the other Judgments which he has compromised In like manner. Our statutes (section 9410. Burns R. 8. provide that. In these auita upon forfeited bonds, the prosecutor shall receive a docket fee or $lO In every caae and 10 per cent of the amount recovered for the public. Since the Republican prosecutor has declined to give the public any information as to hla course. I have made some investigation of his actions In airntlar cases, with a view of determining what he means when he says that the Leppert Judgments have been comprouilaed In the “rustemitry manner.” T now charge It to be a fact that the Republican prosecuting attorney, the ram elected oy the people as their public servant to enforce tne laws and uphold the moral standard of the com munlty. has endeavored to get the permission of the State Board of Accounts to compromise certain enses upon forfeited bonds by accepting only BO per cent of the amounts due the public and at the same time getting a 100 per cent fee for himself. If I am misstating the facts. I ask the Republican prosecuting attorney to deny them. If be wants mo to publish the list of the cases in which he has endeavored to get the permission of the State board of 'accounts to mske compromises for the ?uiblic upon a basis of 50 per cent and or himself upon a basis of 100 per cent, let him ask me to publish such a ltat. This furnishes another glaring example of how the prosecutor's office has been ! run, not for the Interest of the publte, i but for the enrlehment of the prosecutor. He has msde In fees more then $50,000 during the first eighteen months of his ! admllnstratlon, and yet he prevailed upon i the county to pay $1,700 out of the county funds to a lawyer to assist him In the j trial of the Haag perjury caae when, under the law, he should hare made this payment himself. He has refused to collect for the county the unpaid balance of $1,500 due on the Leppert Judgment and he hts endeavored, in other cases, to settle upon a basis or (Continued on Page Eleven.)

INDIANA RETAILERS CANCEL CONTRACTS WITH STATE MINES

Indiana coal retailers are canceling their coal contracts with Indiana operators on the grounds thst the price fixed by Governor Goodrich's coal commission is confiscatory and that the margin fixed by the commission Is not sufficient on which to continue handling Indians rosL In of tht* a leesi coal operate* exhibited contracts showing their cancellation by retail coal dealer*, and this is taken to mean by the operator* thst the retail coal dealer* are not going to handle Indiana coal at the price fixed by the State Coal Commission. This aspect of the care apparently la the basic reason on which the operators may seek relief in both the Federal ano State courts on the grounds that the prices fixed by the coal commission art confiscatory and result In the discrimination of iudlsna coal in the market in favor of Eastern coal. A prominent cosl operator in discussing the coal situation in the state Indicated that Indiana mine* can not operate without loss under the prices fixed by the coal commission and pointed out that "Idle mines” are bound to result because of the price-fixing activities of the commission. The commission, on the other hand, claims It has the power to compel the operators to keep Indiana coal In this State Instead of shipping It to other markets outside of the State. The cancellation of contracts on the part of the retail coal dealers, according to an operator, complicates the situation because the State is not respecting contract by the action of the legal department holding that the commission’s price

applies to U coal mined In Indiana, irrespective of whether it la contract coal or uot. The operator* contend that under Federal control and supervision Fuel Administrator Garfield recognized the binding power of contract and the price fixed by the Govern me i*v .during the war did not affect coal which thaa then under contract at a specific price. RAIL.ROAD ACTION ENTER* SITI AXIOM. Another element entering into the* aitustton is that the railroads ore confiscating shipments of coal by taking the coal over for the nse of the roads and tbe operators claim that in many cases final adjustment has been withheld for months with the operators In some lnatances paying as high us 7 per cent interest on the money tied up In the confiscated coal. Slow payments or collections has its bearing on the coal situation and there ar Indication* that unless the controversy Is brought to a close soon idle mines will result In tbe state The retailers are scheduled to hold a hearing before the coal commission Wednesday and it has been indicated legal action may result from the conference. Many coal operators look on the price fixing activities of the coal commissi m as a political move of the Goodrich administration to cause the voters to forget the heavy and unjust taxes caused by the Goodrich administration in disrespecting tbe rulings of Judge Linn Uay of Superior Court, room 2, and the Indiana State Supreme Court in holding that the actions of the State tax board in ordering the horizontal Increases were null and void. ADDITIONAL CONFUSION IN NAME CAIXINO. Additional confusion over the coal situation has resulted from the action of operators and the special coal and food commission in calling each other names. l’hll H. l’enna of Terre Haute, secretary of the Indiana Bituminous Coai Operators’ Association, leclared In a lo.tig statement that the eoramlsslon Is conducting a “campaign of falsehood.” Jesse E. Esrhbaeh, chairman of the commission, came right back with a statement in which he declared Mt. Penna la on agitator ond does not speak for good American dtixens. Neither threw any light on the question which the public is attempting to have answered, namely, whether the orders of the commission will result In lower price* or will make It Impossible to obtain coni at any price. Mr. Penna la en route to New York to attend the meeting of the National Coal Operators’ Association. Mr. Penna claims that operators belonging to the association, of which he is the secretary, have no intention of following out the orders of the coal commission. Mr. Eschbach replied that Mr. Penna has been engaged active for years in developing confusion and disorder among coal laborers and t hat he has now transferred his ability to more alluring fields, whern he can tnake thousands of citizens suffer. Uncle Joe Is Injured DANVILLE, ■ 111., Oct. 12.—Congressman Joseph G. (Uncle Joe) Cannon Is confined to his home here today, suffering from a fractured wrist sustained when he stepped on a piece of coal In the basement of his home and fell.

STREET CAR MEN OPPOSE CHANGES Want Traction Expert’s Views on Proposed Reroute Ordinance. Dr. Henry Jameson, president of the board of directors of the ludianapolls Street Railway Company, and John Reynolds, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, formed the sole opposition to the proposed ordinance prohibiting the operation of street cars within the downtown district, when the city council opened public hearings last night. The ordinance, which was Introduced by Gustave G. Schmidt, president of the council, is designed to relieve the serious traffic congestion in the territory bounded by Ohio street, Capitol avenue, Maryland and Delaware streets. Several citizens, real estate men and representatives of the Central Labor Union appeared to back the measure. The real estate men favored the ordinance because it would enhance real estate values in the now outlying sections of the business district, expanding the retail section so as to give the city a more metropolitan appearance. The labor union men and o.ner citizens in favor of It said they believe it would muke it possible for them to get to and from their work with less inconvenience tml loss of time. Dr. Jameson and Mr. Reyonlds stated that they opposed any drastic change in the present routing unless It were based upon an exhaustive study of the whole subject by experts. Practically all of those favoring the ordinance said they believe that several cross town lines should be established with the new loop. INDIANAPOLIS LIVE STOCK.

Cox appeared enthusiastic over Democratic prospects in Missouri. “The State has been aroused by the definite proposal of Senator Harding to reject-and turn his back on the league,” he said. “I feel confident that the Issueof peace will win in the State by a good safe majority.” CUMMINGS SWAYS ANDERSON AUDIENCE Special to The Times. ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 12,—1n one Os the most eloquent and stirring orations ever made In a political campaign here Homer S. Cummings of Connecticut, former Democratic rational chairman, last night appealed to an audience of 4,000 persons assembled in the public square for the League of Nations. Mr. Cummings recited the accomplishments of the Democrats In eight years of public life. He predicted that In event of the Republican success the reactionary force# of the Nation world regain power and four things would occur: Peace would be Indefinitely postponed. War would be waged on Mexico, as had been promised In the Republican platform, engaging 200,000 Am eric in soldiers. The great Federal banking law would be amended so as to restore the control of money to one center. Labor conditions would be disturbed. The speaker made a stirring appeal In behalf of the League of Nations. “The fundamental purpose of the League of Nations Is to preserve international peace and prevent a recurrence of war,” Mr. Cummings said. “It is | scarcely credible that more than forty : nations have deliberately given their signatures and assent to a document which i makes for war instead of peace [ “The whole world longs for peace. I “In a great majority of addresses dei llTered with a view to discouraging our i people and discrediting the league, the opponents of the treaty say: ‘Shall we send onr boy* abroad to settle a political quarrel In the Balkans?’ “Have we forgotten that we sent more than 2,600,000 men to France, spent more Ilian t>. anty billions of dollars and sacrificed nearly 100,000 lives to settle a Balkan dispute?”

OPEN LETTER TO THE “ANTI-JEWETT" REPIBUCANS. Gentlemen—ln the last three primaries of the Republican party In Marlon County you have been plainly told that your participation in tha affairs of the party was not desired. Since the last primary such of you that held positions in the Republican organization have been ousted that the organization might be made up entirely of those who wear the yoke of the State, county and city ring. In this election you are, of course, expected to give your support to a ticket In the make-up of which you have been ignored and the election of which means your continued Isolation. Are you going to help the ring that Ignored you place Itself In a position to- eliminate yon from the city campaign or are you going to Join In an effort to bring about fair primaries in Marlon County?
