familiar cry of e-ah on every

the downtown section, but v throughout the city, excited children and adults who . had breathlessly watched the score boards this afternoon surrendered themselves to celebration of the baseball victory. Unguarded packing boxes and lumber blazed up In celebration in every direction, while good-natured police and firemen were kept busy checking bonfires and trying to keep the celebrators within bounds. Every inch of the city was burning with baseball fever. Official recognition of today's victdry of the Detroit American League baseball team was given by Mayor William B. Thompson in the submission of a special message to the common council.

"WE WILL PLAY," SAYS MURPHY.
Boss of the Cubs Confident Champions
Will Beat Giants.
Cincinnati, Oct. 6. "We will play
them Thursday and we'll whip 'em
too," said President Murphy of the cubs tonight before his departure for Chicago. "We'll make it so decisive this time that no bone-headed base- , running can cast a shadow of doubt on the contest. We want to win the championship on the playing field, and not in the legislative halls of baseball politics. The cubs will take the Twen
tieth Century fiver tomorrow in Chi
cago and arrive in New York Thurs
day morning. Manager Chance and his "payers are all in good condition, and 'we will have no excuse if we fail to ' bring the third successive National
-League pennant to Chicago.
"I am Sorry that the white sox lost.
but must admit that Manager Jones and his men made a great fight for
' the flag In the American League.
had hoped sincerely that they would
win the deciding game from Detroit, so that all the games for the champion
ship of the world could again be play
ed in Chicago, which is in a class by
itself as a baseball city.
WELL, COME OUT OF IT. Chicago's roseate dream'of two base ball pennants and a world's champion
.ship series all her own received a hor
rible jolt yesterday.
, xne American league nag was snatched away from the white sox in .the final gameof the schedule, the De
troit tigers putting the sox to utter
rout in winning the game and pennan 7 to 0.
And by a decision rendered by the
board of directors of the National League at Cincinnati the championship of i that organization rests upon the
outcome of a game to be played be
tween the cubs and giants in New
York tomorrow, as the tie contest be
tween the cubs and giants of Sept. 23
-was ordered played off.
t Yesterday Chicago was giving its
order for two new pennant poles. To
aay it is mourning tne loss of one
title and hoping that the cubs may pre
vent complete disaster by winning
their all important struggle In New
Yorw tomorrow.

NEW RACE TRACK FOR JUAREZ.
"Curicy" Brown and "Big Tim" Sulli
van Reported Behind nferpriae. El Paso, Texas, Oct. 6. Preparations
are under way to build a fine race track

is estimated, will be $1,000,000.
it is planned to hold winter race
meetings. There is no law against betting" in Mexico." As the state in
which the racing will be held will re celve a percentage of the gross re
ceipts, the Mexicans are in favor of
having the rich "grlngoes" holdjth lr
meetings as long as they please.
This track will be one of the chain
of race courses which are now being erected in Florida, "Curley" Brown Is the promoter of this circuit, and he is
being backed by "Big Tim" Sullivan
and other capitalists -of New York
John W. Gates, who has extensive fin

the dollars to construct the track.
SPORTING BRIEFS.
JAMES E. WATSON AT MAJ1.UOWJ,
ISD., OCT. 3, 1D0S. The republican party not friendly to labor! Why, my fellow-cltlsens, the republican party passed the Chinese exclusion act way back yonder la 18T9 and only three years ago we repassed It for another period and I voted for it
myself, so that no Chinaman might come into this country and compete with the high-priced, Intelligent American laborer and American citizenship. The republican party not the friend of labor? The republican party passed th laws which prevents the Importation of foreign contract labor into this country, so that no manufacturer or other person may go abroad and bring into this country of ours cheap, underpaid, underfed foreigners to compete with our high-priced Amercaln laborers. I voted for that bill. Xot a friend of laborf The repub
lican party has put every tariff law that has ever been passed in this coun
try on our statute books since the re
publican party was born, which pro
tects the interests and the home and fireside of every man who earns his
daily bread by his dally toil.
Xot the friend of laborf My fellow citizens, the republcan party hns passed
every law that has been passed In the Interests of the laboring 'men. It was the republican party that gave you sound money, sound currency and made every dollar worth one hundred cents. Had it not done that, do you suppose the laboring people of this country would be In the condition they are inT Xever, . my friends, for' the laborer is the first to feel the evil Influences and effect of such a policy and the last to recover from It. It ' Is the man who tolls that needs protection. Capital don't need protection. Capital can always take care of itself, but the man who works, the man who tolls, the man who earns his daily bread in the sweat of his face is the man who must be protected, and the republican party, true
to its cause, came to his relief and said
that the currency of this nation must
never be permitted to become nnsonnd.
In the last three sessions of congress
we have passed more labor laws, laws
for the protection and well-being of la
bor and of higher importance to the laboring man than any that has ever been
passed In the history of this nation except the one abolishing slavery. We passed the employers' liability act. That was taken to the United States su
preme court and that court held it to be unconstitutional and It Is on your statute books and is the law today.
We passed the slxteen-honr law,
limiting the time of continuous employment to sixteen hours for towermen and nine hours for all telegraph operators; and just the other night at
Indianapolis Samuel Gompers made the
statement, which he dare not deny, that
this bill was more nearly my child than any other member of congress because
had voted for it twice! (Cheers.) Not the friend of labor? My fellow
citizens, we passed that bill and it Is the law and I am glad of It. We also
passed those bills of which my friend,
Mr. Garfield spoke and, by the way,
this man Garfield Is in position to know
the effects and results of these measures for he has been put at the head of the bureau of commerce and labor
and knows the great volumne of bust
ness that Is done and the quality and character of the men who do It. That Is the very fundamental prlnvple upon which this republic la founded. And I
want to say that the records of congress show that whenever these laws, these measures In the Interest of labor
were up for consideration and my name was called that . I voted "Yes" every
time in favor of these polltcles and
principles. (Cheers.)
Sot the friend of labor! Just at the
close of congress we passed what Is
known as the "ash-pan bill". Reports showed that we killed three hundred
and twenty-five firemen within the last
year by reason of the fact they had to crawl In under their engines to dump ash-pans. This law was passed and It provides that hereafter all locomotives shall be so constructed that this ashpan can be drawn out from under the engine and dumped without requiring the firemen to crawl in under the engines to dump them as heretofore. Our republican senator, Mr. Hemenway, got that bill through the senate and gave it
Into my custody and I had it passed through the house of representatives! We also passed a bill to prevent, as far as possible, explosions In onr mines for reports sbow that we kill three miners in this country where they kill one in any other country in the world. Senator Hemenway and I have been
room-mates in w ashlngton and when he had that bill passed through the senate, he gave it to me and I had It passed through the house of representatives. Somebody says that Jim Watson bnan't been n friend to the cause of labor! My fellow-citizens, I defy any many, anywhere, at any time to put his finger on any act of mine, on any vote of mine, on any speech of mine or any utterance of mine, either public or
private, that is at all hostile to the highest Interests of any man who makes his bread in the sweat of his
face! (Cheers.)
Friendly to the cause of labor! My fellow-citizens, Br. Bryan in his great
eloquence goes about this country at
tend chautauquaa ' and delivering discourses on these subjects at so much
per (Laughter.) f Way down in the south he Is a pow
erful. Way down south his voice Is
potential. Why doesn't Mr. Bryan, if he is sincere and in earnest about these matters, why doesn't he raise his voice against the flagrant outrages that are openly and notoriously carried on in a country where he could have some in
fluence f But not one word has be ever uttered. Why hasn't he nsed his
great influence In the south agalast the outrages committed on child laborf The last thing I did In congress was to vote for a child labor bill which
was framed and passed as a model for all the states and territories of this nation, that they might copy It. Yon know In the great cotton mills of the south little girls seven years of age work in those mills from sun rise to inn net. You know that boys, of tender years, work in those factories from sun np to sun set, when they ought to be sleeping, with nobody to cry out In their protection against such policies. Yet this man who Is so powerful in the south has never uttered one word against that custom. Why don't he cry out against itf AVe have got a law In Indiana. He don't need to come Into Indiana and preach to us about It. We don't need him. Let him go Into a country where be has some power .and influence.
Doit you say sot (Cheers and "yes,"
yes.w) The republican party not the friend of labor! The republican party Is not only the friend of labor in the national congress, but In every state of the union where the republican party is in power. Listen! Thirty-three states have factory Inspection laws and service twenty-two of them are republican. ) Twenty-one states have state boards of arbitration; sixteen of them are republican. Seventeen states have laws establishing eight honrs as a
day's work on public work; fifteen of them are republican. Twenty-seven
states have laws restricting the cm
ployment of children, nineteen of them
are republican. Thirteen states have
laws forbidding the employment of minors in the operation of certain industries; eleven of them are republic
an. Thirty-eight states have laws reg.
mating tne employment of women;
twenty-nine of these are republican. Twelve states have laws regulating sweat-shops; eleven of them are re
publican. Twenty-one states have laws insuring the prompt payment of
wages; seventeen of them are republican. Fifteen states have laws forbidding the discharge of persons simply because they belong to labor or
ganizations, when no other cause ex
ists; fourteen of them are republican
There are thirty-eight states that have laws authorizing and permitting
trades unions to adopt labels and pro
hibitlng counterfeiting of them and of those thirty-eight states twenty-nine are republican and only the other nine
are democratic!
I will tell you, my fellow-citizens It Is oneth!ng to go up and down the country declaiming ourselves against
these things, but It Is another thing to legislate, to write laws upon your statute books, to do business and to
protect the men who labor and the
when who toll! (Cheers.)

Dressing the Chicken. One evening on the farm a little slum child was enjoying the first glimpse of pastoral life. On a little stool he sat, under a tree, bent with its load of ripe peaches, beside the cook, who was plucking a chicken. He watched that plucking operation gravely for some time. Then he said: "Do you take off their clothes every night, loidy?"

Interurban Company Official
Quiets Near-Riot at East Chicago.
(Special to The Times).
East Chicago, Ind., Oct. 7. Had the
paymaster of the C, L. S. & S. B. line
been delayed but fifteen minutes longer In getting to this city from South Bend
yesterday afternoon, he would have met
with a small-sized riot, found the tracks of the "Wegg avenue "Y" torn
loose and probably several foreigners
arrested' by the police. As chronicled
In last evening's Times, the forty labor
ers discharged on last Thursday gave
the officials of the company but twenty
four hours to pay their claims for
wages, the time expiring at S o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
The Foreigners Were Ready.
At 2:45 the foreigners began moving
towards the Wegg avenue switch. Ar
riving there they deaounced the actions
of the company in withholding their wages, using vigorous terms and threatening to tear up the road If not given their money on time. At five
minutes before the allotted time, the
paymaster arrived and paid the men
Just In time to avert the threatened at
tack on the road's property.
There Is no doubt In the minds of the
police that the threats of the laborers
were sincere and police officers were
stationed in readiness to take an active
part in the fusillade of shots and
stones which It was believed would fol
ow the entering of the men upon the railway's property. The men them
selves were evidently sorry that they
ware unable to "start something" and
waited around the pay car for half an
hour after they received their "pay," confidently expecting that some one would start even a factional fight

as well as noiseless street. Aetlon a Surprise. The action of the Harbor property owners in remonstrating against the brick, and practically demanding the construction of the Whiting made streets, was a surprise to East Chicago property owners, who have been led to believe, by the actions of the Citizen's Improvement association, that the company's streets are "rotten" and not worthy of consideration.
SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE IS MOVED AWAY.

The Voyage of the Bessie. Darwin was a member of tie expedition undertaken for the scientific survey of the South American waters on the ship Beagle. The voyage was begun in 1831 aad lasted almost five years. Much of Darwin's data for his works were ratherwi on this trip.
(Special to The Times). Indiana Harbor, Ind., Oct. 7. Despite the efforts of the Improvement association to discredit the good quailties of Westrumite as a paving prod
uct, some citizens of Indiana Harbor have declared themselves, in a petition to the council, as favorable to Its use on the main street of this city Michigan avenue. At the Monday evening session of the council thy declared that unless the council would repeal their action declaring brick as the proper pavement. Injunction proceedings would be brought against the municipal officers. They won in their fight and an entire new set of resolutions are under process of prepartlon, declaring Westrumite as the desired pavement. IOnd la Their Praise.
Among the prominent business men' of the Harbor who are loud In their praise of the compound are John Farovid, who declares that Fir street, which Is paved with Westrumite, Is the best street in the city, good In appearance and as a cheap street Is to be unequalled. Judge G. E. Reiland and George W.
Ross of the East Chicago company, also believe in the merits of the street. "It 1 Just springy enough to make traveling pleasant, la dustless and clean," they say, "and time will only prove its durability." They are also Joined by Charles E. Fowler of the Fowler Real Estate company, who declared himself In the following words: "The street Is one of the finest we could get. In a trip to Minneapolis, I was shown a Westrumite street which showed no signs of gumming on the hottest days of the summer months, while asphalt streets became gummy and odorous." Fred Gaatel Jr., declared the street to be equally as good as brick -pavement and much cheaper. Benjamin Roop, president of the Pioneer Lime and Coal company. Is the man who circulated the brick remon
strating petition and declares that he
was actuated solely by a desire to give
Erie Mores Building Front Crown Point to Hammond for Centralization. r' Crown Point, Ind., Oct 7. (Special) The Erie railroad supervisors' office for the Chicago division, which has been located In Crown Point, in charge of Supervisor John Dalton, has been moved to Hammond, and not a trace of It is left, the company even moving the office building to that town, where all business connected with that office will be transacted from the Hammond end of the line In the future. Gradually the Erie road Is centralizing
all Its official business to the Hammond yards and it is thought that they will soon transact their entire business for the division at the Hammond station.
