AFTERMATH TO HELP REAL SOCIAL WORK SEWING SCHOOL Club to Help Parents and Pupils in Buying Material and Making Serviceable Garments. The Aftermath club will take up the first active work of charity in teaching people how to work for themeelves. In a conference with Secretary Melpolder yesterday, a committee consisting of Mrs. Benjamin Rush, Mrs. E. R. Beatty, Mrs. J. W. Ferguson and Mrs. H. L. Monarch asked for some active work for the winter. The Aftermath club members have been sewing for charity and have donated the clothing they made. Mr. Melpolder suggested that the club take steps to establish a sewing Bchool in Whitewater school this winter. With the permission of the Bchool board, the school would be oporated independent of the regular Bchool courses. Begin Work. The members of the committee at once approved the idea and expressed their determination to start to work at once. The committee will continue to meet at times to work out details of a sewing school course. This course would be for mothers and children. The present plan is to have some practical housewives who do their own sewing to teach others what materials to buy, what prices to pay and how good garments and clothing can be made for a small amount of money. In most cases, the teachers of the School, are expected to act as advisors unless the pupil is ignorant of all methods of sewing. The chief purpose of the school will be to prevent "waste and carelessness of sewing among persons who cannot afford to make many purchases. Secretary Melpolder advised the committee that it is not a good plan to donate clothing when it is possible for the housewives to make the clothing. In some cases, arrangement probably will be made by the charity bureau to donate materials but this will taot be encouraged,

iniTT'r i Vri: 1 FAYETTE FIGHTS GIFT OF SUBSIDY TO EJWELLE $85,000 Grant Means Per Capita Tax of $8.50 on Every Person in Affected Township. VOTERS IN PROTEST Connersville Taxpayers Believe Subsidy Would Add Big Burden to the Whole Community. Eugene Purtelle, promoter of the so-called Richmond & Hamilton Tract ion company, is asking the people of Connersville township, Fayette county, for a subsidy of $85,000. The Connersville News declares if such a subsidy is voted it will be a heavy burden to the taxpayers. After first denouncing the proposed $2,000,000 for a state memorial, to be voted on by the people of Indiana, November 3, the News adds, editorially: "Another proposed burden might, with all propriety, be mentioned, not on the whole state or the whole county alone, but on the single township of Connersville. We believe it will be generally conceded that the attitude of the News has ever been for progress when the aim has been for the public good and Connersville and Connersville township have never lagged in any worthy public enterprise. "But just . now there is a strong sentiment toward hesitation about voting $85,000 out of the people's pockets for a proposed traction line. We need a similar line north while one southward Avould also be appreciated and beneficial. "But Connersville township taxpayers are just now asking themselves the question, is this the time to venture with taxes so high? They seem to desire more information, at least as to whom is believed to be backing the proposition before giving it the sanction of their vote and they have , every right to this information before they act. "It is worthy of very careful consideration, as a very simple problem in arithmetic will show. We have within Connersville township, in round numbers, ten thousand men, women and children, or possibly a few less, but keep in mind not ten thousand taxpayers "Therefore, voting a tax of $85,000 for a traction subsidy would be clearly voting a per capita tax of $8.50 on every man, woman and child in the township. The vote would virtually mean the mortgaging of property of the township for. that sum. Therefore, minors and others having no property would pay nothing, while the whole burden would necessarily fall on those who have property small or large. The News, in its- news columns, has told its readers what has been proposed. It is due them to know just what the voting of this subsidy would mean to them before they cast their ballots."

MCKINLEY TO SPEAK FOR REPUBLICANS AT COLISEUM MEET G. O. P. to Hear Cures Old Party Has to Prescribe to Remedy Conditions Injuring Country. Wayne county Republicans will open their campaign with a meeting to be held at the Coliseum this evening. This morning arrangements for this meeting appeared to be somewhat indefinite. Central committeemen were confident that Duncan E. McKinley, former congressman from California, would be the principal speaker, but they did not know whether Patrick J. Lynch, candidate for congress from the Sixth district, would make an address, although his press bureau has been announcing that he intends to "inform the unemployed workmen of Richmond why they are out of work." No Chairman. No chairman for the meeting had been secured this morning, but it was announced at Republican headquarters this afternoon that Denver C. Harlan, candidate for prosecutor, would preside. McKinley is aid to be a forcible speaker. He has been campaigning for the Republicans in Indiana for three weeks. He began his public career as surveyor of the port of San Francisco, and later was elected to congress, where he served on the ways and means committee, where he made a study of the tariff. Later he traveled extensively in the Philippines, Japan and Cuba. The Progressive tidal wave in California swept him out of office. He is a high protectionist and has been savagely attacking the Democratic doctrine of low tariff. Declares Comback. On his arrival in Richmond today Mr. McKinley declared that the Republican party in Indiana was "coming back" and would be victorious at the November election. "Lynch will be elected because he is of the stripe that is so much needed in Congress," said Mr. McKinley. "He is active and determined, and his Democratic opposition is weak. He possesses a pleasing personality, makes friends easily and keeps them. There is an awful fight on among the Democrats .against Finly Gray, the j Democratic nominee. Lynch is on his way to Washington. Two special cars for Cambridge City and New Castle Republicans will be run into this city this evening. THREE ATHLETICS OUT IN THE COLD PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 9.-r-Rash promises made weeks ago resulted in three members of the Athletic team being turned out in the cold last night by an angry landlady. The three members of the world's champion team had made promised of complimentary tickets to the games here. When they were unable to "come across" they were forced to take their belongings and depart. The three slept together in the home of a kind-hearted friend.

STALLINGS CHOKES PHILADELPHIA MAN III LOBBY OF HOTEL ' im Takes Drastic Action on Enthusiast Who Tries to Make Manager Take Big Bet.

BY LEASED WIRE. PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 9.-Manager George StaUings of the Boston Braves choked Gay Callaghan, a Philadelphia fan, in the , lobby of the Hotel Majestic at noon, and was prevented from doing further bodily injury only through the interference of a crowd. Callaghan, who had been around the lobby for an hour or more offering to bet "millions of dollars" on the Athletics, finally approached StaUings, who was talking with friends. "Betcha any amount that your team will lose," said Callaghan, breaking into the conversation. StaUings Gets Busy. StaUings paid no attention at first, but when Callaghan repeated his offer, StaUings snarled, "Get away from here, you big dub." Callaghan retorted, "You can bluff about beating up Connie Mack, but you can't bluff it with me." StaUings . grabbed Callaghan, a big man, by the throat with both hands. He was putting his whole strength into the choking process and Callaghan's bead bobbed from side to side. At this point a dozen persons in the lobby rushed forward and tore Stallings away.

ANTWERP AFIRE FROM GANNONS OF TEUTON HOST Suburbs Blaze When Bombs and Shells of JBig German Guns Explode in Houses of City. RESIDENTS FLEE TOWN Cavalry of Invaders Circle to the Northeast to Envelop the Whole City With Armed Forces. OSTEND, Oct. 9. German shells and bombs have set fire to Antwerp, according to reports received here early today. The bombardment that began Thursday morning continues with terrific effect. Flames broke out last night in parts of the city lying between the palace of justice and the south railroad station, but emergency iBre corps co-operating with the regular Are department, kept them under control. The suburb of Borgerhout is burning. The suburbs of LInth and Bouchot, which lie betwen the Nethe river and the inner circle of forts have been practically destroyed. The residents of both places had fled before the bombardment opened, however, and the loss of life among civilians is believed to have been small. King Leads Troops. While Germans keep up their bombardment night and day, the Belgian army. le,d by King Albert, is harrassing them from the west. Fierce fighting is in progress along the River Scheldt. While the Germans are smashing away at the inner defense of Antwerp their cavalry is making encircling movements to the . northeast. They have occupied Turnhout, which lies close to the Dutch frontier. Their Uhlans have also been seen east of Ostend. A German aeroplane of the Taube type was seen over Ostend late yesterday. It was apparently scouting j for information as to how many troops I the allies have brought up from the south. From the River Scheldt to the French border and for some distance south of there the German cavalry is very active. Uhlans are reported to have razed the village of Warneton, I near Yprest, but there is no confirma tion of this report. COMMISSIONERS TO MEET SATURDAY " The regular weekly session of the board of county commissioners will be held tomorrow.

The commissioners will receive bids Mondajr morulas.

SCORE OF 7 TO-1 GIVES STALLINGS CREW OFMR ON ATHLETICS' GROUNDS' BY FRANK G. MENKE. SHIBE PARK. Philadelphia, Oct 9 "Chief" Bender, the veteran In- ' dlan twirler, cracked under the strain this afternoon, and the Boston Braves won the first game of the world's series from the champion Athletics of the American league by the score of 7 to 1. The victory of the National league champions was clean-cut and the best team won. Bender was knocked out of the box for the first time in the five world champion- t ship series he has participatediin. There were 26.000 people at the-game and the gross receipts amounted to $49,639. 1

''Dick" Rudolph, the young twirler of the Braves, pitched a beautiful game throughout. He had the etar batters of the Athletics at his mercy all the way. Barry and Oldrlng struck out twice and he also struck out Murphy, "Home Run" Baker, Mclinnis and Schang. Bender made a magnificent effort to stave off defeat, but apparently it was an occasion of "youth will be served." Bender was kept in the box for five and a third innings. In the sixth he was replaced by Wyckoff. Off Bender and Wyckoff the Braves made a total of twelve hits, while the Athletics were able to garner only five from Rudolph's curves and speedy ball. Bender was able to strike out only three men. During the nine innings Rudolph gave three bases on balls and whiffed eight. Bender gave two bases on balls and Wyckoff one. Sun Shone Brightly. While the sun shone brightly on high, the Braves and Athletics battled here this afternoon In the first game of the World's Series before a crowd numbering 26,000 that filled every inch of seating space in the enclosure. With Bender and Rudolph on the fir ing-line for the rival teams, the fans sat back confident of seeing one of the greatest pitching duels that ever characterized a worlds series game. Both teams went through a snappy practice and every man seemed on edge for this crucial game, a Dana and a quartette of youths armed with megaphones kept the crowd entertained during, the batting session. The crowd arrived early. At 1:30 o'clock there were only a few vacant seats in the stand. Cheers Boston Rooters. The crowd was in good voice, re leasing yells of applause-after every Eood play in practice. About three hundred Bostonians. carrying "Royal Rooters" banners, and whooping things up for the dear old made a hit when they arrived at the grounds headed by "Honey Boy" Fitz gerald, former mayor of Boston. As soon as they had taken their places on the seats alloted for them, they made galant efforts to drown out the noise made by the Athletic rooters. The Philadelphia rooters were impartial in their applause, however, and Maranville, the Boston shortstop, was given an ovation by them as well as by the Boston fans when he pulled off some hair-raising stops and catches during practice. Deal, who played third for Boston in the place of Red Smith, whose leg was broken recently, showed poorly in practice. He made a pair of foosles and two wild heaveB. Just before the game started, Eddie Collins was presented with an automomile for proving himself the most valuable player in baseball, according to athletic reckoning.
