SECOND TITLE GAME TAKEN BY YANKS

ARTIE NEHF FACES YOUNG HOYT BEFORE BIG SERIES THRONG

By JACK YEIOCK. POLO GROUND. NEW YORK. Oct. 6. Having tested each other's strength in the first game the Yankg and Giants this afternoon sailed into the world s series in earnest. Huggins’ team, with one -victory : afely tucked in the bat bag, was out to hurl its strongest charge at the Men-O’-MeGrew, and the Giants were determined to even up the series. The Yanks were the home team today, the Giants, the eager, hungry visitors. Thev had a fine day for it. The positions of the umpires for today’s game were: Moriarity behind the plate; Rigler at third base; Chill at second.base, and Quigley at first base. The Yanks arrived on the field at 12:37. They wore white uniforms and- walked solemnly to the home bench, which was occupied by the Giants yesterday. JBabe Ruth did not come out with tlra main squad of the Yanks, but followed ; them a few minutes later. \His entree was the signal for a salvo of cheers and : handclapping. Ruth grinned as he walked up to select a bat. He waited his 1 turn and then hit a terrific drive into the center field bleachers after fouling off six. The fans howled. Headed by Jesse Burkett, who carried the ball bag, the Giants arrived on the field at 1 o’clock. They had on their gray road uniforms and their arrival wa the signal for a big burst of applause, s Nick* Altrock, the champion clown of baseball from Washington, dashed into the Yank locker room with a demand for a large size uniform and an announcement that he was going "to work” this afternoon. Altrock answered a call from the Yankee club owners, who wanted him to come and put some jazz in the game. Mayor Hylan couldn't see very well from hii private box yesterday* so they moved h|m over next to the homo team bench today. There were more women in the bleachers today. Their loud colored hats were easily distinguishable in the sea of black derbies. Betting on the series took a turn in favor of the Y'anks today, but the odd* have not shortened as much as they would if the verdict of the first game had been reversed. The backers of the Giants were asking S to 5 against the Giants to win the series, but in many in>tances jrpre getting better odds from persons who be! the Y'anks will play every game as they did yesterday. The Yanks wera 7 to 5 favorites to W-n today’s game no matter who pitched. Roth the Yankees and Giants went through a pottery fielding practice. Frank Frisch, the brilliant Giant star thill hr scm.Tn. drew applause several tiiae3 with brilliant plays. Waite lloyt. the lioy wonder of tim Yankees, appeared at 1:45 and started warming up with Frank Roth, the veteran coach of the Yankees. Art Nehf. the Terre Haute southpaw, strolled from the Giants' dugout and loosened up his arm with Mike Gonzales, the Cuban catcher. While the Yankee infield was working out, the center field gate opened and the band marched in, leading a procession of dignitaries, including Mayor Hylan anil party. Governor Miller of New York was also in ihe party. The procession wound around 1 the field and ended in a row of flag-draped boxes, where the party settled. The stands were tilled tea minutes before the game. ’ It was estimated that there were 35,000 present, and the crowds kept pouring in frou. all entrances. f

BARRICADE AT BRIDGE IS PARK BOARDS ORDER Protracted failure of the county commissioners to complete the sidewalks, paving and drains of the Boulevard Place bridge over Fall creek resulted today In the board of park commissioners ordering the north end barricaded. The north end opens on Fall Creek boulevard. Structural work on the bridge was completed last November. Since then itz has been practically impassible, a few ffiads of stone having been dumped into it to be worn down helter skelter by such traffic as dared venture on the bridge. The commissioners are bound by a contract with t|o park board to finish th*u structure and the barricade will stand until something happens, the park board said. I J.-G. Griffith, county surveyor, who was st; the park board meeting, said that every time the commissioners tried to do anything on the bridge the park board had workmen arrested. James H. Lowry, superintendent of parks, said that nr- . rests were made about three years ago when the county attempted to finish the bridge without consulting the city as to Its . ishes. Grle.-h gsked the board, on behalf of the ccnrcissioners, to bear half the cost of Improving the Meyers road from the present end near Riverside park to a point one-half mile north, but the board refused. / The board would only promise to view the highway when Griffith also asked that Sutherland avenue be paved from the present north end to Rellefontalne street where it wonld connect with 4 pavement to be constructed by the wounty and city under the connecting link law. Representatives of the Brookside Civic league and the Victor Bearings Company presented further arguments in the controversy over whether or not the hoard shall approve a building permit for the company to erect a factory at Massachusetts avenue and Steel street. The civic league opposes to permit because the location is within 500 feet of Spades Park. Speakers for the league said they had discovered several other good locations they would help the company get. The board took the matter finder advisement for another week. No Federal Action Against I£n-Klux WASHINGTON, Oct. C.—Federal grand Jury action against the Ku-Klux Kian will not be undertaken at this time, it was announced today by Attorney General Daugherty. He said the Department of Justice will not proceed klan until and unless evirior ,1 to show that the klan is an i . ..ml dangerous organization. Developments to date, he indicated, have not warranted the departnynt beginning such action.

City Employe Is Ordered to Clean Yard With City Truck

I.se of a city truck by a city employ* upon city time with city oil and gasoline to clear rubbish off of the rear yard of the residence of the head ’of n city department under the guise of “cooperating in the tire prevention campaign’’ has been disclosed by statements of Daniel T. Shope, 1750 Ewing street, a reduced employe of the hoard of public safety, and admissions by E. M. Tompkins, head of the city electrical department. The inei- | dent recalls the fact that Mayor Charles H. Jewett had the country road running in front of his Arlington Place hog farm oiled by a city employa and city oil spreader not long ago. Shope declared the board of public safety last Tuesday transferred him from the position of a circuit repairman in the electrical department to the rank of patrolman in the police department, carrying witli it a decrease in salary of sls per month. lie said that he had tried in vain to get someone in authority to tel! him why he had been re. Vined and had come to the conclusion that it was because he is an ardent supporter of Samuel Lewis Shank, Republican nomiuee for mayor. A. L. Taggart, president of the board of public safety, has preached for three years and nine months that the present board is “keeping the police and fire departments out of politics.’’ SENT TO CLEAN CP FOREMAN’S YARD. Angered at his reduction, which was made withefft giving him even a semblance of a trial, the safety department records show, Shope revealed the fact that last Saturday morning he was ordered by Tompkins to go to Tompkins’ residence, 401 North Wallace street, with an electrical department truck and gather up and haul away a large pile of leaves and weeds which had been raked into the rear of the yard. „ Tompkins admitted that this was true. “I hired a negro to rake the yard and then tried to get a truck somewhere around there to haul the refuse away,”,

The judge had been in falling health for the last year, but had been seriously 111 only -for the last four days. He was the father of YValter Pritchard, judge of the city court. Besides this son, he left a widow irftd two daughters, Mrs. Joseph Mullane and Miss Irene Pritchard. On learning of the death Remster Bingham. sitting as special Judge in city court, adjourned the sessions until tomorrow, Japanese Emperor’s Health Unfavorable TOKIO, Oct. 6.—The imperial household issued a bulletin today declaring the condition of the Emperor’s health was unfavorable. It said he was experiencing difficulty in walking and talking and waR losing his memory and power of concentration. The Emperor’s condition is generally worse. The bulletin said: "lie has entirely lost his former health and energy.”

he said. “I couldn’t find a truck. We had an idle one in the department, so I sent it out as part of the fire prevention campaign.” Shope said that he asked Earl Garrett, head gs the police and fire telegraph systems why he was reduced and thnt Garrett refused to tell him. Later he visited Chief of Police .Terry E. Kinney who also refused to tell him why he had suddenly been made a policeman, he said. The only satisfaction he got. from Garrett and Kinney wus, “l'ot* know why,” he said. Records at the board of saTcty office show Tompkins sent a note to the board of safety recommending Shope’s transfer “for the good of the service.” (Juostloned about this, Tompkins said that Shope “seemed dissatisfied.” RAYS 'TOMPKINS’ BOY, 16, DRAWS sllO. Friends of Shope made the additional statement that Tompkins’ IG-ygnr-old son had an easy berth on the electrical dek rtmont psy roll being required to drop around the city hall now and then, for which he drew sllO a month. Tompkins denied this, assorting that his son wns not on a city pay roll but was employed in his office “when there was work to do and he was not In school.” He said he paid the son out of his own pocket. “I do not even know Shope," said Felix M. McWhirtcr, member of the board of public safety, “but I know about tne case. He was reduced on request of Mr. Tompkins.” “For what reason?” he was asked. "For the good of the service.” "Which means—V” "Well it means he was not hitting the ball. He was not efficient. Tompkins said he was not an efficient workmen and for that reason he was reduced for the good of the service.” Shope was appointed patrolman July 12, 1014, promoted to bicycleman on July 1019, and rkttailed to the electrical department Aprtf 30, 1920. v

Roseoe “Fatty” Arbuckle will appear tomorrow before Judge Harold Loudcrbaeh in Superior Court for nrrntgnment on a charge of manslaughter preferred as a result of the holdings of Police Judge Sylvian Lazarus In connection with the death of Virginia Itappe.

The unprecedented honor ta be accorded in the memory of all of the Americans who fell In the World War was decided upon at Wednesday’s Cabinet meeting.

CHIEF REFUSES TO SIFI ALLEGATIONS A GAINST POLICEMEN Declares 'They're Only Newspaper Statemeats' Although Detectives Are Scdd^AA to Helve Signed Confession. < V’ K 'P&mzX With the issuance of a statement today by Jerry Kinney, chief of police, in which he exonerates the policemen whom Frank Francis accused of taking whisky from his machine and being drunk on election night, it became evident that the city administration does not propose to give credence to any part of the confession of the Louisville prisoner other than that in which he attempts to involve J. Herbert Hartman, candidate for police judge. Chief Kinney declares he is not going to give Francis a chance to identify the policemen Francis says took whisky from hi3 car. He declares that Detectives Stone and Deßossette did nothing wrong in visiting Hartman’s headquarters during the campaign and he repeatedly states that the whole Francis confession 13 all “newspaper statements” in spite of the fact Lthat Herbert Fletcher, inspector, v.as declared yesterday to have in his ( possesion a sworn statement by Francis. . Kinney today failed public these facts:

Other Evidence of Perversion , of Statement Additional evidence of the perversion of the statement of Trank Francis, Louisville prisoner, when it was first published in Indianapolis, is afforded in what has been termed a “supplementary I 'j statement made in the presence of a member of the Times B'air at Louisville, 1 nesday. An Indianapolis newspaper attempted to show that Francis had declared Samuel Lewis Shank bad given the privilege of naming a chief of police in event of his election to William Armitage and that Armitage had selected Herman ltikhoff for the job. Neither of these two men were mentioned in either srnteuipnt made by Fraud*. Liant. Walter S. White is to be chief of police if Samuel Lewis Shank is elected, according to Francis. This was one of the many statements made in his "supplemental statement” and elsewhere Tuesday. The statement v.as nothing more than a conversation o'* which notes were taken, by a stenographer, as was the original “confession,” which was not signed until Tuesday. , Francis added that Capt. Claude Johnson is to be chief of decctives. He said he had heard these things while he was associated with J. Herbert Hartman, Republican candidate for city Judge, in the primary campaign. He said, he had been told by friends of n.-.rtman and Shank that "we musjt get rid of Kinney.” MENTIONS ONLY TWO APPOINTMENTS. These statements of th “talking burglar” recall ffhe fact that White vrns a police >aptain under George V. Coffin, and that after Coffin's break with Mayor Charles W. Jewett he was reduced to the rank of lieutenant. Captain Johnson is in charge of the traffic department nn<l was very active in support of Mr. Thomas C. Howe in tho primaries. Herbert Fletcher i* now rhiff of detectives and there is evidence to show that lie knew Francis waa "wanted” all the time Francis says he was in Indianapolis. Francis had nothing so say regarding any of the other appointments to be made by the new mayor, hut he appeared to be positive in the case of these two appointments, appearing to bo interested only in police and detectives so far as the city administration is concerned. This “supplemental statement" was made, hnt was not signed when Francis was taken from the detective department headquarters to the jail. If it has since been signed tbe signature was obtaiued after 3:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon and after Francis had completed his statement and had been taken back across the street to the jail. During the conversation Michael Olefin was present at all times. He appeared at the headquarters of the Louisville detective department nad said he was interested in obtaining a statement from Francis concerning stolen cars. He repeatedly questioned the prisoner in this connection, but Francis refused to talk about any ears except those mentioned in his confession, to which Glenn was given access. Glenn did not question him concerning his statements regarding Hartman. This was not necessary, for Francis talked without urging.

That Detective Kngenstein knew Irancis in Indianapolis and sought to arrest him before the primaries, but was prevented from doing so. ' ,3. That for wi:early two weeks Inspector Fletcher had a list of the articles stolen from the Kntterlienry home, had Francis’ word tiiat they ware in the home of J. Herbert Hurtr.icn and yet failed to attempt to relover them. 4. That for nearly two week* I letcher has been cognizant of the charge made by Francis that Fred Hartman “framed the getuv.aj” from <he county jail of the prisoners who escaped a year ago last July nad ha tr-ken no steps to investigate thi* phase of the confession. hicf Kinney's statement, in which he attempts to discredit that part of Francis’ statement involving members of the polic uepartineut is rs follows: " do nut kjkiw of anything these men have done wrong and we have only newspaper statements in this so far.” How about the four policemen whh carried the whisky from the automobile ?•’ the chief was asked. c don t know who these men were, if the thing ever happened, but we are investigating tant.” Francis says be can identify at least two of these policemen and he can he brought to Indianapolis, was suggested to the chief. . WON’T CALL ROLL t - . OF police officers:. ” "Yes, but I am not going to call a general roll call to permit him to look :.t all the policemen in Indianapolis,” answered Kinney. “It is a sure thing that if policemen did this they did not do it 00 their own districts. It will be hard to find out if it really occurred and who arp tho four poliriemon.” "How about Detectives Stone atjd DeRossett?” the chief was asked . "V. hat wrong <sid they do?" he answered. "They had a right to go to Hartman's office if they wanted to. They may have gone there 011 business, but they did no wrong as I se- it. I must have something more definite than just newspaper reports on which to work.” "The orders of the board of safety have been that men on the police force ke p out of politics,” the chief (was told. "Ilow about politics in Deßoisett and Stone's alleged visit to Hartman's office?” 1 don't knot, why they were there and I don’t know anything about them mixing in politics. They have committed no wrong in visiting the office of Mr. Hartman,'' declared the chief. A : fatement issued by Felix MclYhirter, a member of the board of public safety, is ns follows:

“Chief Kinney and his aids In the police department, are in close touch with the general investigation surrounding the Francis confession. If it is found that rolieemen are involved in any wrongful manner in the case, be can be depended upon to follow the proper course. ‘‘The board of safety stands squarely back of Chief Kinney in his investigation. His experience and reputation are such that his conclusions may be expected to be fair and accurate and the board of safety will await his report, of course, before takiug any action.” Since it bas become evident that the police department does not regard Francis’ charges against its own members as of sufficient weight to make investigations necessary, it is plain that William I’. Evans, prosecutor, is the only public official who will proceed to a sift of the allegations. It is understood Francis and his wife, in custody of Chief De Forester of th# Louisville detective department will arrive here about noon tomorrow. According to reports at police headquarters, the trio will be taken to the prosecutor’s of-; lice ami then will go before tho grand jury to testify. Aside from discovering, if possible, whether Hartman was actually connected with Francis as the latter swears he is, the prosecutor is expected to probe thalleged use of "repeaters" in tho primary,* the admitted shipment of liquor here for use in the primary, and the operations of an alleged theft ring composed of' Francis, Fred “Doggy” Johnson and Carl Kunkle. Johnson is now under arrest on charges, of burglary and grand larceny and will 1 be given a preliminary hearing in city court next Monday. It is expected that Francis, who has charged that Johnson assisted him in robbing Dr. Katterhen’*y’s home and who has also declared that Johnson stole two automobiles be- ■ longing to Harry Y'ockey, Hartmai’s primary opponeut, will testify at the hearing.
