A’S AND CARDS ' PLAY DECIDING GAME TODAY Mackmen Are Favorites, After Friday Crackup of Street’s Crew. EARNSHAW VS. GRIMES Rival Skippers Will Stake AJI on Right-Handed Veteran Stars. RV L. S. CAMERON United Press Snorts Kditor ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10.—The world’s baseball championship will be determined today, when Connie Mack’s freshly confident Philadelphia Athletics meet the now 'distracted St. Louis Cardinals. Six times have these clubs faced each other since the world series of 1931 inaugurated here one week ago last Wednesday, and each club has won three of the games. The series moved into its final phase as a result of Philadelphia’s 8-to-l victory on Friday. Needing only to win that game to acquire ’the championship, the Cardinals >ere held helpless by Robert M. Grove, tall left-hander of the Athletic', while Derringer, Johnson, Lindsey and Rhem, St. Louis pitchers, were wilting before the Philadelphians.

Deciding Game Now the rivals are to meet in the seventh and decisive game. The Athletics are favorites to win and retain the title they won in 1929 and successfully defended last year. Gabby Street, Cardinals' manager, announces definitely he would start Burleigh Grimes, desptie reports that Grimes has a lame throwing shoulder. Mack is almost certain to start Earnshaw, the towering righ-hander of the Athletics staff. It had been expected that Earnshaw would pitch Friday’s game, but Mack fooled most of the experts gy naming Bob Grove. It was Earnshaw who limited the Cards to six hits in the second J game, which he lost, and who tied a series record by allowing but two hits in winning the fourth. Record to Be Proud of A record of eight hits in two games is something to point at with pride. It’s a record, incidentally, which can’t be duplicated in j this series. The Athletics may have the Cards i on the run. It’s all very well for ! “Sarge” Gabby Street to make his I optimistic statements. Maybe He’ll prove to be right . . but unless the Cards snap out of the “do-less” spirit in which they found themselves Friday, only a miracle can prevent the American league entry from winning once again in the annual baseball feature. With all due respect to the fine play of the Athletics generally, and to the splendid pitching of Lefty Grove, the Cards beat themselves and did it by being over-confident. Just look at the records: That disastrous fifth inning, which was the break of the game, had its inception in a needless error by third baseman Flowers and then Chick Ha fey, who simply “never misses,” failed to catch an easy fly which a schoolboy would have snagged. partis Must Wake Up If the Cards play that kind of ball again today, they are due for further humiliation. But if they return to the dashing, cocky sort of ball which twice enabled them to Jhold the upper hand in the matter of games won, then the end of American League dominance may be effected. Betting odds, which have been right more than wrong, have made Jhe As favorites to win today, and hence win the series. Latest odds showed the A’s quoted at 5 to 3. Today's game provided the big test for Pepper Martin, series star. After having hit safely in every game, equaling two batting records, and having become the national baseball hero, Martin fell down Friday. It was only natural that the Pepper should have slumped eventtually. MISSION PARLEY SET City Woman to Be Speaker on Leper Problem. By United Press NEW YORK. Oct. 10.—Mrs. Charles A.

POISON EXPERTS TO CLASH MONDAY AT PICNIC DEATH TRIAL

Dr. Rollo Harger to Reveal His Findings; Defense to Call Doctors. BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT. LEBANON, Ind., Oct. 10. The | state's case against Mrs. Carrie Simmons, charged with the poison murder of her daughter, Alice Jean, was being sifted by lawyers for both i sides, jurors and courtroom habitues ! today, as a week-end vacation was > spent. The state will close its case Mon--1 day or early Tuesday, j Dr. Rollo N. Harger. toxicologist at ; the Indiana university school of medicine, will open the* state's closj ing testimony Monday morning with ; a description of the instrument of death, the strychnine found in the J stomachs of Mrs. Simmons' daughj ters. v i Eefore Dr. Harger leaves the stand he is expected to turn the | courtroom into a medical clinic, j when attorneys for both sides ques- ' tion him on the action of strych--1 nine poisoning. Other Experts to Be Called Analyses made by Harger are ex- | pected to reveal the amount of poisons in the stomach, liver and kid- : neys of the two girls. Legal combat probably will break | with tornado rapidity when Dr. Harger steps into the witness box. His cross-examination may result in the defense doing a bit of “expert- | ing” on its own, by calling in other I medical men as rebuttal witnesses. Jurors photographed the scene of ! the picnic tragedy in their mind's eye Friday afternoon, when they visited Memorial park and the home of W. H. Pollard. Freed from court by an early afternoon adjournment, the jurors EDISON GRIMLY HOLDS TO LIFE Rallies From Stupor to Be Shaved in Bed. By I nited Press WEST ORANGE, N. J., Oct. 10.! —The condition of Thomas Edison, who has sunk into a stupor from which he rallies only occasionally, was reported unchanged at 4 a. m. today. All members of the family have gathered at the Edison estate, Glenmont. # The aged Inventor rallied Friday afternoon and was shaved. Rocco Salomine, his barber, said Edison recognized him and sat up in bed to be shaved. The last bulletin from Dr. Hubert S. Howe, Edison's physician, was issued at 10 p. m. Friday night. It said: “Mr. Edison went to sleep at 8:30 tonight and is now sleeping peacefully. There is no apparent change in his condition. No immediate crisis is expected.” Howe said a stupor such as Edison's usually precedes a coma in such cases. Edison is suffering from uremic poisoning, gastric ulcers and diabetes.

went ip two cars to the Pollard home. One auto, driven by Martin Burkhalter, juror, violated Lebanon’s | traffic ordinance just as John Simmons. husband of the accused, did on the day of the reunion picnic. Follows Simmons’ Lead Simmons, with his family in a car that contained sandwiches which the state alleges were jpois--loned, parked his auto in front of the Pollard home facing the wrong direction. Burkhalter parked his auto with his load of jurymen in the same law-violating manner, near the tree which Simmons declares was the spot where he parked his car. Jurors, it is said, asserted that the placing of the Burkhalter auto at the exact spot of the Simmons car was unintentional. When jurors piled out of the two autos, they roamed the Pollard grounds, squinted at the street from various angles, stood beneath the catalpa tree which Horace Jackson says shaded him the day of the picnic, and visited the front porches of neighbors, to determine whether small bushes would obscure a view of the street and the spot where the Simmons’ car was said to have been parked. Taken to Picnic Scene Following the mental staging of the first act in the Lebanon poison picnic, the jurors were taken to the two park trees where the picnic board was spread and the sandwiches of death were eaten. A park employe placed the picnic table for the jurors. Sifting of the state’s case over the week-end trial observers point to the following: That the state alleges that the poison could not have been put in the sandwiches in Lebanon, because Mrs. Fannie Cook sat on the front porch of her home throughout the reunion morning and saw no one go near the Simmons car. That it could not have been placed at the picnic grounds. That, therefore, it is alleged, the Simmons home was the only spot where the poison capsules could have been placed in the buns. SEES FASCIST CHIEF Hindenburg Grants First Audience to Hitler. By T nited Press BERLIN, Oct. 10.—President Paul von Hindenburg granted his first audience today to Adolph Hitler, leader of the German fascists. Hitler reached the presidential palace at 11:30 a. m. Political speculation of Hitler’s audience covered a wide range. It was believed possible that Von Hindenburg might warn Hitler to keep his "Nazis” (National Socialists) in line during the present international developments, including the visit of French Premier Pierre Laval to Washington and the possibility of the extension of the Hoover war debt moratorium. A crowd of 2,000 persons awaited Hitler’s arrival at the palace. There w T as little cheering when the Nazi leader arrived. Police placed heavy guards around the palace district.

HOOVER MOVES !TO AID SHAKY | R. R. SITUATION Decisions Are Being Held Up, Pending Verdict in Rate Increase Plea. i LOAN POOL IS LIKELY Success of Bank .Proposal Is Seen Assured by Chicago Action. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—The next efforts to improve the domes- ; tic business situation will deal with the railroads, according to indications today. Administration officials have been considering the subject for several days. Decisions are being held up in expectation of the interstate commerce commission’s action, expected within a week, on the pendI ing application of the railroads for a 15 per cent freight rate increase.. If the increase is granted, it may j reduce the heavy pressure for direct ; action through some form of loan i pool. The situation was canvassed j thoroughly at the meeting between i President Herbert Hoover and New | York bankers attthe apartment of Andrew' Mellon, secretary of treas- : ury, last Sunday night, it has been learned. Sharp strengthening of railroad securities in Wall Street the last few r days is attributed generally to a feeling that aid soon will be extended. Concerned With War Debts More than $22,000,000,000 is outstanding in railroad securities. Railroad bonds are held in large quantities by savings banks and life insurance companies, and unwarranted panicky selling has forced prices far below intrinsic worth, according to many analyists. Legal requirements are threatening to force many institutions to dump these bonds on the market at a sacrifice unless relief is obtained. Some indirect relief is anticipated through the voluntary $500,000,000 bankers pool now being set up. At the same time. Mr. Hoover is. concerned w'ith the difficult problem of war debts, which are linked w'ith the domestic situation especially through their effect on foreign credits heavily held in Amer.’va. Because of the approaching visit of Premier Pierre Laval of France, President Hoover daily is turning : more and more thought to the i question.

Opposed to Cancellation It is complicated by the strong congressional opposition registered at the White House conference this week. Mr. Hoovey, it was said authoritatively today definitely is opposed to cancellation and will be guided by the debtors’ capacity to pay. Just how Mr. Hoover intends to translate this principle'into definite proposals when Laval arrives has not been disclosed. The vast financial program launched here this week will have direct effects reaching down to the farmer and the workingman, in the President’s opinion. He regards it j not as an inflation measure, but one of stemming the deflation. Final assurance of success for the j plan was seen here Friday night in i indications that the Chicago Clear- ! ing House Association, thus far hesitant, will participate in the banking pool. It is believed skepticism on the part of Chicago bankers w'as allayed by New York bankers and the White House. The Chicago association will meet Tuesday to consider the recommendation. Hoover Holds Opposite View' There has been an undercurrent of comment by some here that the Hoover measures constituted a plan to help only the bankers. Hoover, however, holds the contrary view. As an instance, it was said that a manufacturer seeking credit to turn : out an order might have the mis- j fortune to be located in a commun- j ity where the banking situation was I difficult. Credit, which would be extended i in normal times, might not be available because heavy withdrawals by unnecessarily alarmed depositors might have exhausted the bank’s resources, save for securities which, though sound, were not elegible for rediscount at federal reserve banks. Under the Hoover program, the bank could turn to the new bankers’ pool now being set up and get j money. This money in turn w'ould be loaned to the manufacturer. NAMED TO ROAD POST Ralph E. Simpson, Highway Clerk, to Be Assistant Chief. Following a series of changes in the personnel of the Indiana state highway commission, Ralph E. Simpson, former chief clerk, has been named assistant director of the commission. Simpson joined the engineering i staff of the department in 1919 and has held various positions until his appointment as clerk in 1929. John J. Brown, commission director, said Simpson was named to j the advanced post because of his ability. He served in the World war. Simpson and his family live j at 237 Blue Ridge road.

The underworld was supposed to know why the officer w : as shot in the back on this dark street. As he fell, he clutcher his flashlight. If that light had been turned on, would it have bared the murderer to the w'orld?

LINDYS SAIL SUNDAY Couple Will Board Pacific Liner Tonight. Bn United Press YOKOHAMA, Japan, Oct. 10.— Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh will reach Yokohama tonight at 8 p. m. from Shanghai en route to the United States. The Lindberghs will be met by American officials who will escort them aboard the liner President Jefferson, where they will spend the night. The liner sails for Seattle Sunday morning. COUNTY JAX SLICED State Board Approves New 29-Cent Rate. Marion county’s tax levy for the next year was cut to 29 cents today by the state tax commission, which approved the plan of Harry Dunn, Marion county auditor, to cut 5 cents from the proposed 34cent rate. The slash is to be made possible through refinancing of $375,000 is of bonds that are to mature in 1932. The 29-cent levy is the lowest in several years. PORKERS CLOSE WEEK WITH FURTHER LOSSES Cattle and Calves Hold Steady on Light Receipts. Lack of demand again was a weakening factor in hogs at the Union Stockyards, prices this mornirfg sinking 20 cents on most classes. The bulk, 160 to 300 pounds, sold for $5.05 to $5.40; early top holding at $5.40. Receipts were estimated at 2.500; holdovers, 979. Cattle were quotably steady, receipts numbering 100. Vealers were unchanged at $9 down. Calf receipts were 300. Not enough lambs were op hand to make a market in sheep. Receipts estimated at 100.

a wealth of back field material, so Carter may be forced to wait. The 1931 edition of Boilermakers will make their Big Ten debut today against Illinois’ sophomore eleven at Lafayette, the feature collegiate attraction on Hoosiqr soil. Purdue’s veteran backs and inexperienced forward wall will be opposed by a typical fighting, Zuppke-coached eleven from Champaign, in which sophpmores have gained most of the positions.

Stimson May Act Today to Force Rivals to Settle Dispute. j By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—The state department, thoroughly : alarmed by the increasing tension between Japan and China in Man- ! churia, is expected to make some new move to insure peace. It was | indicated Secretary Henry L. Stimson may act today. Assurances by Japan that it would refrain from aggravating the situation created by 1 the clash of Japanese and Chinese troops at Mukden i recently had caused the state de- : partment to be optimistic. It was hoped that Tokio and Nanking could settle their quarrel by direct negotiations. It was pointed out, too, that China possesses a powerful economic weapon in the j boycott. Optimism was shattered, however, when Japanese planes bombed Chinchow. In informed quarters four possible methods of American action were outlined: 1. To send notes to Japan and China, admonishing them to respect their obligations under the Kellogg pact to maintain the peace. 2. To urge other powers to join with the United States to a multilateral note to Japan and China, or either, urging them to settle their dispute. 3. To summon the nine signatories of the Pacific pact of 1922 to advise together on ways to main tain peace. 4. To act in concert with the League of Nations on some move to prevent war. These are the methods that seem most obvious to informed officials here. It was made plain, however, that they were not all-inclusive. Stimson may find yet another way to accomplish his purpose.

BY GEORGE KIRSEY I'nited Tress Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 10.—The football warriors of Notre Dame and Northwestern were prepared today for another of their memorable gridiron battles before a crowd of nearly 90,000 at Soldiers’ Field. Notre Dame, boasting a record of twenty straight victories, and undefeated since 1928, was a 7-5 favorite. Northwestern, however, was far from an underdog, but for some strange reason the Wildcats have never quite been resourceful enough to beat Notre Dame sirice the two schools resumed football rivalry in 1920.

PASS WET BILL IN NEW JERSEY Assembly Asks Congress to Permit Beer, Wine. By United Press TRENTON, N. J., Oct. 10.—The New Jersey legislature today called on congress to legalize the manufacture and sale of light wines and beer. The concurrent resolution making the demand was forced through a special session of the legislature called specifically to deal w'ith unemployment. It is the first wet measure to be passedl by the legislature since adoption of national prohibition. And it was forced through both houses in the early morning hours after an all-night session in which the drys of both parties in both houses fought the measure, and then fought a roll call on the question. The resolution was introduced last Monday night by Assemblyman Siracusa (Rep.) of Atlantic City. It urges congress to act because o fthe “widespread demand” for beer and wine, and becaus a huge sum might be saved to the government through increased revenues, and because such action would provide employment for many. The measure as adopted was understood to have the support of David Baird Jr., Republican candidate for Governor.

SIX YEARS ON CASE Court Finally Gives Ruling on Girl’s Custody. While the state’s highest court pondered the law in a custody case, a baby has grow'n into girlhood. She is Wanda Schiering, now almost 9, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Schiering. When her father and mother were separated and her father filed syit for her custody in a Marion county superior court, Wanda was 19 months olds. The county court permitted the child to remain with its mother’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sherman S. Baker. . Schiering appealed to the supreme court. That was Sept. 28, 1925. Friday, more than six years later, the high court ruled the child should stay with her mother’s parents.

Until Reb Russell, stellar ful back, who tore gaping western felt that this was holes in Notre Dame’s line last year, was injured, Northdestined to be its year to break the Notre Dame jinx. With Russell on the sidelines, Northwestern's back field will be made up of three brilliant sophomores—Potter, Meenan, and Olson —and Pug Rentner, 181-pound junior, who was out of last year's Notre Dame game with an injured shoulder. This back field promises to take rank as one of the greatest combinations in the country, but it may not yet be ready to run rings around Notre Dame. Notre Dame suffered an unexpected jolt on the eve of the game, when it developed that Captain Tom Yarr, 208-pound center, fractured the thumb of his left hand in practice Thursday night. Yarr will start the game, but he will be playing under a handicap. Many believe that the memory of the late Knute Rockne will make Notre Dame unbeatable this season, and that today’s game will prove it. Notre Dame rooters flaunted placards and slogans emphasizing this theme—“ Rock Wants This Game,” and “Let’s Do It for Rock.”
