He was arraigned and held to the grand jury under bond of $1,000. It is generally believed that the official will be able to secure the money to reimburse his bondsmen, and prose cution of the case against him dropped. Town Clerk Jailed. D. II. Taylor, clerk, of the village of Camden, was one among the number indicted, and is now confined in the county jail for an alleged embezzlement of $400 of the funds of that town. He is held under bond of $1,000, which he is unable to furnish. Taylor is local agent of the Adams Express company at Camden. Melvin S.

Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston,

Invaded New York Polo Grounds with 300 Rabid Beantown Fans. FIELD IS INVADED EARLY IN MORNING Weary Hours Before Game Began Occupied by Great Crowd Smashing Hats and Eating Peanuts. (National News Association) NEW YORK, Oct. 8 This is the day. The day of something most fearfully and wonderfully, it seemed at the Polo grounds. At 2 o'clock this after noon the tens of thousands that had been sitting in the crowded stands since 9 o'clock and standing in line before the box office indefinite hours before that, had tired of chewing sandwiches and the rag, of breaking to smithereens all the straw hats in sight, and had started on derbies, when a great glorious relief came to pent-up feelings. Mayor John J. Fitzgerald and 300 rabid Boston bugs brought the break in the monotony. When Fitz and his followers entered behind their big brass band pandemo nium broke loose. Nobly did the lighter brigade strive to make as much noise as the home team's crowd. With heads erect the Hub horde marched to their places in the stands back of first base, never flinching under the taunts that were heaped upon them in company with a fussilade of sandwiches. There is a suspicion that Harry Stevens, holder of the sandwich concession at the Polo grounds had something to do with the planning of that fussilade. At any rate, it was the means of liquidat ing hundreds of his stock or more than 100,000 appetite appeasers The supply gave out before the game was over, --with voices-' faint from hunger calling for sustenance from all parts of the stand. Boston Bugs Attend. The invasion of the Boston fans headed by Mayor Fitzgerald is unique in World's series annals. The 300 tickets which admitted them were placed on sale in Boston at 9 o'clock this morning, pursuant to the special order of Ban Johnson, president of the American League. It is taken as significant of the advance of the national game that there is no record of a previous instance in which the mayor of !a town furnished a world's series con tender accompanied the team out to see the opening game. Every precaution was taken today to avoid another ticket scandal. When the sale of unreserved seats began at 9 o'clock a dead line was drawn on i Eighth avenue and 155th street, makj ing it impossible for speculators to get ; near the lines of patrons leading to ithe ticket windows. Persons who did not fall Into one of the regular lines were compelled, to remain south of 155th street. Betting Even Money. There was no such thing as prevailing odds in the betting today. The odds were of the oddest sort. Much betting was done, but in a chaotic way. Probably more even money bets were laid than any other kind. The fact that the Red Sox have formerly been consistent favorites was offset by the plentitude of gambling money which is always characteristic of New York, and by the fact that New York was playing on home grounds. Offers of 10 to 8 were made that Wood, the Red Sox star boxman, would pitch two winning games in the series. Several book makers gave four to five that you couldn't guess the Giants' pitcher for the first game. Odds of 5 to 1 were on tap that the Giants would be victorious in at least one game of the se ries. It was taken for granted that Wood would pitch today's game for Boston, but no one knew who would be in the box for the Giants. Manager McGraw himself said up to the time of "Play Ball." that he did not know who his selection would be. He has had all his pitchers keep in condition. New York bookmakers estimated this afternoon that over half a million dollars had been wagered on the se ries. Fans all over the country have been making all kinds of bets; from tha polite candy-and-cigars wagers between bugs and "buggettes" to the $10,000 proposition registered by the "bugs" of the New York Stock Exchange. COMMISSIONERS VISIT COUNTY JAIL Upon the recommendation contained in the report of the Wayne county grand jury, the board of county commissioners today inspected the county jail, with the view of determining upon a better heating system for that institution. The grand jury report stated that the residence portion of the county jail building was not sufficiently heated and that a better heating plant should be installed. It is not known just what action the commissioners will take..

Warlike Little Nation, Fearing Servia and Bulgaria, Will Get "Cold Feet" Brings on Crisis.

EUROPEAN POWERS GREATLY SHOCKED For the Wee Kingdom with Its 50,000 Fighters Has Started Fire which Ignite Balkans. Is to (National News Association) LONDON, Oct. 8. Montenegro has declared war against Turkey and her army today advanced into Ottoman territory where fighting is now going on. This news was conveyed from Cettinje, capital of Montenegro, in an official message to the Servian charge d'affaires in this city. It is also stated that the other members of the Balkan league will have to follow suit. Although the smallest of the Balkan states having an army of only 50,000 men, Montenegro, has thus forced the hand of the powers by declaring war on Turkey. " It has been feared all along by Montenegrin leaders that Bulgaria would waken at the last moment and allow the pressure of the powers to prevent her from going to war. Forces Their Hand. However, Montenegro has thus taken the lead and is In a position to force the other Balkan states to follow her in declaring war against the com mon enemy Turkey. King Nicholas of Montenegro, although an aged man, is a vigorous monarch. His people have the mild patriotic spirit of mountaineers, living in a mountainous country and almost every man is a soldier. News from Cettinje that war har been declared came as a shock to the European capitals for the outlook had been considered much brighter. It caused severe ' depression in the stock markets and the Bourses. There was vigorous selling of all classes of securities. Montenegro is the most westerly of the Balkan kingdom, and has a population estimated at 235,000. Montenegro took up arms against Turkey in 1876 and after the RussoTurkish conflict received a large accession of territory. BATTLE NOW RAGING. VIENNA, Oct. 8. A battle that has already lasted more than 24 hours in which many have fallen is being fought between Mallssori tribesmen and nine Turkish batalllons on the Montenegrin frontier near Tuzl. The Malissori tribesmen are native Christians in Albania. Details of the engagement was received here from Cettinje by telegraph. The tribesmen attacked tho Turks but the latter took up a strong position which they defended against a series of assaults all night.

He spoke of Governor Wilson having. in a message to the New Jersey legislature last spring, commended both the Republican and Democratic platforms of his state, saying they indicated the similarity of thought in both parties. The governor considered. Mr. Roosevelt said, the political trend of the two parties were along the same lines. "Governor Wilson was right," said Mr. Roosevelt. "The two old parties are steering along the same old lines. They are both reacting with the Progressives advocating the cause of the people.

Wayne MacVeagh Denies the Story of the Morgan Telephone Message but Springs a New One.

STATES HARRIMAN AIDED ROOSEVELT And Says that He Got the Tale Straight from Twombley, Who Was So Inform ed by Harriman. (National News Asoclatlon WASHINGTON. Oct. 8. Wayne MacVeagh, testifying before the senate campaign investigating committee to day, declared he had no recollection of overhearing a conversation over the telephone between J. P. Morgan and the "man In the White House" in 1904 Maceagh said that Morgan never mentioned campaign contributions to him although he frequently visited the Morgan office. Macveagn said that his converBa tion with newspaper reporter Weill ver was a private one and was so un derstood at the time, and whatever In cident he related to Welliver was hear say and came through two dead men Mac Veagh said that he was in the office of H. McKay Twombley one day in the latter part of October in 1904 on an errand for President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania railroad. MacVeagh's Testimony. " one tnere Mr. Twombley was called to the telephone," continued Mr. Mac Veagh. "When he returned he told me that he had been talking with Mr. Harriman, and that Harriman had been called to Washington by Theo dore Roosevelt, and had found Mr. Roosevelt very anxious that additional funds be raised for tb" campaign. It had resulted, Mr. Tw ley said, in Harriman agreeing to raise a fund and give to Mr. Bliss $240,000. Twombley said Harriman also said, according to Twombley, that be expected to get another contribution from a third man and I got the Impression that the third man was Mr. Morgan. "Twombley said there was no extra need of more money, that - Roosevelt was sure of his election, and that all of these contributions were only a waste of money. He added but I cannot allow Mr. Harriman to lose by his promise to raise $250,000.' " Mr. MacVeagh also said that Mr. Twombley told him that he had been Invited to the white house with Mr. Prick where they dined with Attorney General Knox and the president. He said Mr. Twombley gave the impression that both he and Mr. Frick had afterwards contributed to the Republican campaign fund. ABOUT 700 FAILED TO ENROLL NAMES Richmond Will Have Almost Full Vote. Country Districts Didn't Respond. Although up to the present time ev ery estimate made on the number of persons in the county who have failed to register, and who, as a result will not be permitted to vote In November, is a matter of conjecture. It Is believ ed by county' leaders that the total number who failed will lose their vote in November on this account will be between 600 and 700. Inspectors in the various precincts are returning their registration books to the office of the county auditor but all of these books will not be returned for a day or so. The reports from the country districts show that more farmers failed to register than resldemts of the towns or of the city of Richmond. This is accounted for by the fact that candidates and party workers In Richmond were busy yesterday in urging every unregistered man to register. Several rigs were used yesterday in hauling voters to the registration places. During the first and second registration periods more fanners registered than other classes of voters, but on the last period the farmers were exceptionally busy and some did not leave their work. Chairmen Satisfied. However, the chairmen of the three parties are well pleased with the results, each claiming that very few voters in bis party failed to register. County Auditor Bowman was very busy yesterday issuing auditor's certificates to those who had registered at previous sessions of the registration boards, and who had since moved into another precIncL Fifty certificates were issued yesterday. A few voters will not be permitted to rote this November because they moved since Sunday, October 6. This is due to the election law, which provides that no Toter shall vote in case be moves from one precinct to anothler within thirty dars before election.

Dr O. C. Wagoner today said that none of the changes which were made while he was still at the plant were ordered by the government, and thst Bubsequent changes were made after be was ordered out of the plant by the federal authorities.

Mr. Welshaupt told him that "unsolicited information" was not wanted by the committee. The inspector added that the committee asked him personal questions which he refused to answer.
