Athletics Take World's Series, Winning Today

SCORE BY 0000 1 1 o 2 o o N. Y. Phil. POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oct. 11. Veteran Eddie Plank turned the tables on Christy Mathewson today and avenged his defeat in the second game of the series, defeating New York 3 to 1, giving the world's series to the Philadelphia Athletics for the third time. New York scored in the fifth. Sharer walked and was safe at second when Plank muffed Murray's pop up fly. Shafer scored on a single by McLean. Both pitchers pitched creditable ball. After the third inning Matty was almost invincible retiring the batters in almost one, two, three order. Plank pitcred a gilt edged game except in the third, when he walked a man, made an error and allowed a hit, presenting one run to the Giants. Plank held the New York team down to two hits. With a determination to go after the game on the jump the way they did yesterday, the Mackmen pressed Mathewson hard In the very first inning, Murphy, the first man up leading off with a single, but was forced out at second a moment later, Oldring going to first. Oldring went to third on a single by Collins and scored on Baker's caught fly. The day had dawned muggy with heavy clouds overhead casting off occasional drizzles in the forenoon but the field was dry in the afternoon and . in no way affected by the rainfall. Philadelphia got two more in the third, Murphy and Oldring scoring on three hits and an error by Doyle. With one game between them and defeat in the baseball world's championship, the Giants gritted their teeth and went to do battle with the slugging Mackmen. The McGraw clan could see both fame and money slipping away from them, and resolved to stem the tide as they did in 1912, when they tied the series with the Boston Red Sox after the latter had won three games.

TO STUDY WORK OF RUDOLHH EUCKEN The Ministerial Association is planning to make a special study of the works of Rudolph Eucken, the German philosopher. The library has secured such works of the author as are now translated. It may be of interest to the friends of the late Dr. Zaccheus Test, whose cloistered life contained so much richness unknown to the most of us, that Rudolph Eucken was one of his scholastic confreres, and the last work done by Dr. Test was the reading of the manuscript of one of Eucken's books.

TUBERCULIN TESTED MILK A POSSIBILITY OF OLD ORDINANCE

City Attorney Holds Present Law Compels Sanitary Dairies. AMENDMENT DESIRED Bond Hands Down Long Opinion to Health Officer Davis. That the milk ordinance now in force is adequate to compel the tuberculin testing of all dairy herds supplying the city's milk but that a new or amended ordinance making the requirements more specific would be desirable is the gist of a long and carefully reasoned communication made by city attorney Wm. A. Bond to the local health department. "By statute," he says, "the common council is granted the following powers: "To license, tax. regulate and prohibit dairies and the keeping of milch cows. Pursuant to the authority thus conferred, the common council, on May 17th, 1909, passed two milk ordinances, both of which, having the same general purpose and being passed at the same time, should be considered in connection with each other. So considering them the dairy inspector is instructed to perform the following duties, here given in brief: Powers Of Inspector. 1 To examine all milk offered for sale and to make all necessary dairy inspections. 2. To inspect and examine all utensils. To inspect or examine all cows supplying city milk to ascertain if they are diseased. In such examination he is empowered to apply any reasonable test. 6. He is authorized to require all dairies to conform to the sanitary requirements of the state and city. 7. He is authorized to condemn and prohibit for use any unfit utensil. May Revoke License. 8. He is authorized to revoke the license of any dairyman not conforming to these requirements or who "shall refuse to submit any of his cows to any reasonable test by said Dairy Inspector to ascertain their physical condition." In summing up the ordinance the attorney gives the opinion that it. makes compulsory certain requirements and that in order that dairy herds be made to meet these requirements the tuberculin test must be used. Duties of Inspector. "Before issuing a license, the Dairy Inspector has the right to carefully inspect the dairy and surrounding premises,-to test the cows to be used and fully apprise himself of all facts concerning the supply and distribution of milk to be sold so that he may know that the same will be wholesome and (Continued on Page Three) TO ATTENDJANOUET Commercial Club to Invite Ralston and Cox to Attend Affair. Governors Ralston and Cox will be invited to attend the annua! banquet of the Commercial club which will be held some time the latter part of next month. The club has no doubt but that a suitable date can be arranged so that the Indiana governor may be present, and members are of the opinion that Governor Cox. being a Dayton man, will come to the banquet, if possible, to express his gratitude for the assistance that Richmond furnished his home city during the flood last spring. Harry A. Wheeler, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, with offices in Chicago, will also be invited to attend. WEATHER FORECAST ! - STATE AND LOCAL Fair tonight and Sunday; cooler tonight; probably frost. TEMPERATURE. Noon 54 YESTERDAY. Maximum 88 Minimum 59 W. E. MOORE, FORECASTER. The rain of the last twelve hours is due to an area of low barometric pressure central over Lake Superior, moving down the St. Lawrence valley. A high pressure area, with its attendant cool weather is moving this way from the central west. Under its influence the weather will clear before thirty-six hours, and temperatures are expected to go near or below the ireezing point in Uxat time.

LAST FINAL STAND OF VOTING MACHINE PLAN. NMJMNDAV Local Agent of Device Positive cf Commercial Club's Endorsement.

FREEMAN IS SILENT County Auditor Refuses to Divulge Views of Other Auditors. The voting machine question is to come up for consideration at the Commercial club's October meeting, Monday night. Advocates of the plan to have the county purchase machines will make another determined effort to secure the club's indorsement of the movement. John H. Nicholson, local representative of the Triumph Voting Machone company, formerly the Empire company, is positive this indorsement will be secured, but several club members are prepared to vigorously oppose such action. At the September club meeting, a month ago, a report of a special committee advocating the purchase of voting machines, which had been approved by the club directors, was submitted. The question whether this report should be indorsed by the club members provoked a lively debate, but finally, on a motion of Charles E. Shiveley it was laid upon the table until the October club meeting. To Call Up Report. The report, in consequence, will be called up again Monday night by President S. E. Swayne. "Under the rules of the club the report of the special committee will have to come up again Monday night," stated Postmaster Haas, chairman of that committee when questioned today. "Of course, as I helped frame the report I will advocate its indorsement, but really it would be a matter of indifference to me if the report were not brought up. I still think it would be a good thing if the county purchased voting machines." "The report of the special committee on voting machines will be brought before the Commercial club members Monday nlghi and it will be indorsed," said Mr. Nicholson today. "All the arguments which have been made against voting machines the past two or three years are not worthy of consideration. They are a saving to any community, both in money and in votes, and there is no reason why Wayne county should not have machines. Insists on Machines. "All counties in the state which have cities of more than 36,000 population are now required to use voting machines. I believe that when the legislature meets again it will require all counties to conduct their elections with machines, so Wayne county by refusing to purchase machines now would only be postponing the inevitable." County Auditor Lewis Bowman said today he had no intention of submitting to the Commercial club members Monday night the letters he has received from fourteen county auditors in Indiana giving their opinions on voting machines. Defends Position. "My advocacy of voting machines, when the question of their purchase came up, last month, was so criticised that, to satisfy myself that my contention as to their advisability was well taken, I wrote to a number of auditors of counties where machines have been used. The replies I have received have convinced me that my position is not deserving of criticism," Mr. Bowman said. Perry J. Freeman, local attorney for the voting machine interests, said he had been making no effort to secure the Commercial club's indorsement of the proposed voting machine purchase, and so far as he knew no voting machine representatives would appear before the club. BE SENT TO REFOfi SCHOOL Richard Heine, 13, to Face an Affidavit Charging Truancy. A recommendation probably will be griven to Judge Fox in juvenile court, to send Richard Heine, the thirteen-year-old truant, to the state reform school at Plainfield. Although William Heine, 208 College avenue, father of the boy, co-operated with Truant Officer Bishop in an effort to force the boy to attend school, Mr. Heine is under arrest, although he is not being detained. "As a result of his truancy, he has not only placed himself in trouble, but has dragged his father and several of his boy friends in with him. He is incorrigible and all efforts of the father, the principal of the Baxter school and myself has been in vain. The case will be taken up next week by Judge Fox, who will ascertain if there is room for another charge in the state reformatory. The reform school was filled to capacity at the last report.

ZIMMERMAN CALLED FAILURE AS MAYORS NEW ORDER NEEDED

Taxes Too High, and G. O. P. Candidate for Mayor Can Furnish INo Remedy. BAVIS CITES FACTS Prominent Shopman Says the City is Badly in Need of New Chief Executive. (By ALFRED BAV1S.) The near approach of our city election with its ultimate results and consequences commands more than a passing thought inasmuch as upon the results rests the welfare of our city for the next four years and perhaps many years following. I do not want to appear presumptious and will say the object sought in these articles is the possible suggestion of some feature of our municipal duty which in the busy cares of life, we have given little heed. A Substantial Citizenship. I believe you will agree with me, that the citizenship of Richmond measures well up to the mental standard of the citizenship of any city, in any state of the union. In keeping with that mentality, it becomes our duty to exercise such care in using our right of suffrage, as to harmonize with that mental standard. Too often we allow the individuality of an aspirant to office to influence our vote, notwithstanding we know his unworthiness from a moral and competent standpoint, and support such an aspirant because of his seemii.g "a good fellow" and we like to help him along. The conduct of our city affairs has no bearing whatever with national and state politics, so the all important question for Richmond citizens to solve, is not how much we owe to party organizations, but what do we owe to ourselves and to each other. I have labeled this article the A. B. t of Municipal Government, as I individually view it. City Government. If in the preparation I was compelled to deal with the question scientifically, covering the subject matter with clothing of ambiguity so that no one, not. even myself, could understand intelligently after it was written, I should "throw the job" for the obvious reason it would be a waste of time and labor, so I propose to write in the same plain simple fashion as will make what I have to say as plain as A. B. C. What is a city government and what are its relations to the people? A city s similar in construction and operation as an industrial corporation. The functions of the city executive are to administer the affairs of the city as the general manager of that industrial corporation. The people who elect city officers are stockholders, and should see to (Continued on Page Three.) IT ino rum 1 TO BIG DONATIONS Hospital Women Believe More Money Will be Obtained Than Last Year. GENEROSITY IN AIR Spirit of Aid Society Workers Undampened by Inclement Weather. Undeterred by rain and cold weather, members of the Keid Memorial Aid society, from an early hour this morning braved the dangers of pneumonia and similar ills, attendant upon the inclement climatic conditions, by remaining? exposed to the weather selling tags for the benefit of the hospital. The women reported for work at 7 o'clock this morning and were immediately assigned to their positions for the day. Two women were assigned to remain in front of each bank, store, cigar stand, hotel and similar place in the city. In all thirty boxes were scattered over the city wating for coins to be dropped into them to be used f0 the good of the hospital. Citizens Respond Liberally. Richmond citizens responded fully as liberally as they ever did in former years, and while the amount of money raised will not be counted until late this evening indications point to the raising of a larger amount than last year when $600 was contributed. Generosity was in the air and several substantial contributions were received from unexpected sources. A young man entering one of the hotels was approached by a worker and asked to purchase a tag. He dug into his pocket and produced four pennies. With a slightly embarrassed air he put the coins back and produced a huge roll from which he donated a five dollar bill. "Its all right," he said in answer to the look of surprise that passed over the face of the hospital worker. "I won it on the world's series."

The steamer Cranium, bound from Rotterdam to Halifax and New York, wont on a reef near Halifax in January, with S3;, passengers on board, but all were saved. LIVERPOOL. Oct. 11 One hundred and thirty-six lives were lost when the Volturno bound from Rotterdam to New York burned at sea. aoeo-ing to latest revised reports. Most of these were Dutch immigrants, bound for New York. The accident occurred at midnight In mid-ocean while a terrific storm raged. A thrilling story of the final hour of the liner Volturno, which was burned in mid-Atlantic was gleaned from the following wireless message from Captain Barr of the Carmania: "On Thursday, while making our way through a gale we picked up this S. O. S. call: 'Come quick, ship afire. We are doomed.' The extra stokers were ordered into the engine room and then began a wild race of seventyeight miles to the ill-fated ship. In spite of the high wind and rolling seas the Carmania worked up to a speed of over 20 knots an hour. Steamer in Flames. "Part of the time the spinning propellers were completely out of the water as the waves rose and fell. Standing upon the bridge about four hours later we could see the Volturno wrapped in flames, smoke and fog, rolling in the heavy seas. In the meantime our wireless operator had kept up an incessant call, notifying all liners within range. The Volturno was a mass of flames, from her bow to the waist. She was pitching and rolling drunkedly. "Huddled in the stern of the vessel, in suspended life boats, which they had been unable to launch, were a number of passengers. The wind lashed the heat and smoke about them. There were a number of women and children in the boats. Alternately the passengers wept, prayed or shouted. "Shortly after. we arrived other liners came up. The seas were very j . 1 .:A uigu aim lV"u " burning shin. That was the situation when darkness settled. The Carmania and the other liners turned their flashlights on the Volturno to keep watch for passengers who leaped, or were thrown by the violent rolling of the ship. By midnight most of the inflamable material had been consumed. At daybreak the flames had partly died out. Immediately the work of rescue began. Crew Helpless. "Life boat after life boat, manned by sturdy fellows prepared to risk their lives for the helpless ones on the Volturno. When the fire was discovered the crew tried to fight it, but they were hampered by the storm and the fact that the flames had made much headway before being found. The passengers were notified of the danger but Captain Inch feared to send them overboard in the small boats because of the high seas." The steamship Volturno of the Uranium line bound from Rotterdam to Halifax with hundreds of Immigrants on board has been burned at sea in a gale with heavy loss of life. The Volturno disaster was an echo of the Titanic tragedy. Radiograms from the res-cue ships said that the number of lifeboats on the Volturno was insufficient to accommodate the passeneers and crew. The disaster occurred in latitude 4S.25 north, longitude 34.33 west, or n the middle of the North Atlantic ocean. The scene of the tragedy was about 1.300 miles east of Halifax. First Word. The following wireless message from the Carmania gave the first notice of the disaster: "Steamer Volturno, bound from Rot

All the boats had left the burning ship. Those still afloat were found half wat crlogKed by the relief fleet, filled with half frozen, cowering refugees. The names In the hull of the Volturno had evidently been burning for some time before discovered. They pot beyond control of the sailors Thursday night and raged for twenty four hours before the destruction was com plete. The boilers exploded while the Carmania and her sister liners aided, tearing out a section of the steel LHiU. The purser of the Volturno, who was taken on board the Kroonland, report ed that the number of passengers on the Volturno was 560 and that she carried a crew of 93, making 653 in all on board. According to the purser's estimate the death list reacheB only 132. The original figures of the Carm'n'i that 236 were dead, was accept however, by Lloyds and other inari agencies here. Dead Are Burned. The meagerly worded wireless dispatches from Capt. Barr of the Carmania told a dramatic story. The dead " on the Volturno were burned, crushed and drowned. Four of the six lifeboats carried by the Ill-fated ship had been smashed in the storm by being; washed against the side of the burning ship, and all the occupants were drowned. First Officer Gardner of the Carmania was in command of a fleet of small boats which tried for two hours to reach the side of the burning ship. The huge rollers swamped the boats, and smashed the oars. Approaches Vessel. In spite of danger Capt. Barr then moved the Carmania to a position only 100 feet from the Volturno. Attempt' after attempt was made to throw life lines from the Curnarder to the doom' ed vessel but the wind prevented. The scene on the stricken vessel; was heart rending. The fire bad started in the fore end of the ship and at; their way toward the stern. Before thj onrush of the flames the Immigrants! and sailors were crowded to the after end.

In reporting to his company Capt. Barr said: "A storm prevented oar progress toward the scene of disaster and also prevented the other ships from retting on the scene as rapidly as otherwise would have been possible. The Volturno mas afire and helpless when we reached her. We immediately sent out the Ir.temational call for help and responses came from nine other liners." Captain Is Saved.
