(By Associated Press) BROOKLYN, N. Y.. Oct. 7. Sherry Smith's southpaw slants were poison to the Cleveland Indians today and the Brooklyn Dodgers made off with the third game of the world's series by a score of 2 to 1. Each club having notched a victory in their bat handles, the rival managers, Robinson, of Brooklyn, and Speaker, of Cleveland, realized the tactical advantage of capturing the third contest today.

MANY BELIEVED DEAD IN BROOKLYN BLAST Associated Press) NEW YORK. Oct. 7 An oil tank aboard the British steamer G. R. Crowe, tied up for repairs in Shewans dry dock in Brooklyn, exploded early this afternoon while approximately 100 men were working on the craft. Nearly an hour after the explosion the number of killed and injured was not known definitely but a report made to police headquarters had a dozen killed and many injured. Ambulances and Red Cross workers wen rushed to the scene from all parts of the city. An employe of the Dry Dock company said he had seen at least six bodies taken from the hold of the Crowe. When ladders were brought rescuers worked desperately. Firemen in gas masks descended into the smoke-filled hole. Bodies were hauled up with ropes and the injured rushed to hospitals. An hour after the explosion four bodies had been recovered. A hasty check of workers showed four more missing. The number of injured was placed between 20 and 30.

Attacking the conduct of the war by the Democratic administration, and denouncing the League of Nations a3 a pernicious document .that would set a "super-government" over that of the United States, Senator James E. Watson, addressed an audience that pack

ed the coliseum last evening. For two and a half hours the senator held the attention of every person in the hall while talking on the League of Nations, the conditions under which the covenant was written, and the conditions facing this country should.it enter the League. Attacks Foreign Policy. Asserting that during the past eight years the Democratic administration officials repeatedly had exhibited socialistic tendencies in their sponsoring of government ownership of the railroads the senator passed on to ! an attack on our domestic and for eign policies before the war, mentioning especially the "watchful waiting" phase of the Mexican situation. "If there had been a man of strong character in the White House, a man who would come out and say that we would protect our interests," said the senator, "we would never have had a war with Europe." Dissatisfied With Covenant. "Not a single senator was satisfied with the covenant as it was brought back from overseas," he said at another point. "Do you wonder that the document was not ratified?" He also asserted that when the Republicans came into power their first effort would be to further some kind of an association of nations, although its exact form could not be defined. "Who will be in partnership with uj when we enter the League of Nations?" asked the speaker. "We will have Haiti, a country whose natives are illiterate and unable to grasp the significance of their participation m international affairs; we will have Li beria, one half of whose population is unintelligent; and these countries wi'1 have votes in the league when our country is excluded, should a dispute arise between the. United Slates and any foreign power." Democratic Failures. He said woman, suffrage bad alwaya been opposed by Democrats and fav ored by Republicans. The senator pointed out the failure of the Demo crats in operating the railroads under William McAdoo. Referring to the Esch-Cummins bill, Senator Watson explained its provisions and asserted that in 60 days time the board of nine members had increased wages $600. 000. He voiced the opinion that the Unit ed States was amply able to take care of the Japanese question without let ting foreign powers suggest our pol icy. Immigration of Japanese into this country is an American problem, he said. "I will not let any other coun try say who shall and who shall not come into this country of ours." Crowd Assembles Early. The Coliseum was filled an hour before the speaker arrived, and scores of people were standing around the sides of the hall. Music by the American Legion Band kept the crowd entertained until the arrival of the senator. The speaker was Introduced by Attorney John L. Rupe. The meeting was preceded by a parade. The Harding-Coolidge club of Hagerstowwn, a group of G. A. R. veterans carrying the American flag, the American Legion band, the Centerville drum corps and hundreds of citizens of the city and county were in line. The women's section was headed by Esther Griffin White and Mrs. Charles Teetor. A delegation of Hagerstown women were conspicuous. The participation of women in the parade was so great that it was generally commented on.

105,683,108, POPULATION, THISCOUNTRV Insular Population Swells the Total to 1 1 7,950,000 Persons Under Protection of Stars and Stripes. CITIES GROW" RAPIDLY (f BULLETIN) ' (Bv Associates Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. Tho population of the United States is 105,683,108, says an oilicial announcement by the census bureau at 4 o'clock today. WASHINGTON, Oct.. 7. The bulk of its work completed, the census bureau at 4 o'clock this afternoon will announce the total number of inhabitants in continental United States. Indications are that the complete census, the fourteenth in the country's history, will show a total population for the United States, exclusive of insular possessions, of approximately 105,700,000. Nearly 12,250,000 per&ons are estimated to be living in island possessions, making a total of 117,950.000 persons under the protection of the stars and stripes. These estimates are based on a recent official announcement that the census when 85 per cent complete gave a population of 90,586,742 for that proportion of the country. Growth About 15 Per Cent. The relative growth of the nation from 1900 to 1910 was 21 per cent, but this rate is expected to be cut to at least 15 per cent this year, chiefly census bureau officials say, through stoppage of immigration during the war and by the heavy emigration during that period. One of the striking developments of this year's census was the relative growth of cities and industrial centers as compared with the farming regions. Rural growth in the last ten years was only one-third as great as it was In the previous decade while the cities nearly maintained their 1900-1910 rate of growth. Took Forty Weeks. The census bureau to date has f pent forty weeks in supervising the enum-

I erating and tabulation of the country's millions. A similar period elapsed be A similar period elapsed be-1 fore the country's population was mace puDnc in iiu. This year, now-1 PVPT all minnr ivll Hlvlamna and tr. ever, all minor civil divisions and in corporated places of each state will have been made public with the announcement of the United States total, while in 1910 the census bureau's objective was to arrive at the total as soon as possible, leaving five states and their county civil divisions to be announced later. The work of the thirteenth census did not begin until April 5, and ended December 10, 1910. On January 1, this year, 85,000 enumerators began counting the men, women and children of the country and collecting certain information concerning the nation's resources. Under the direction of Sam L. Rogers, chief of the census bureau, enumerators collected data on farms, manufacturers, forests and oil production and it is this work which will occupy the attention of the bureau from now on. A large force of statisticians and clerks will be retained to complete it. BANKERS REPRESENT CITY AT. CONVENTION Robert Weichman of the Dickinson Trust company, R. E.

Coal Operators Fear Walk-Out in Oklahoma (By Associated Press) MUSKOGEE. Okla.. Oct. 7. State officials, coal operators and miners' union officials were watching the coal fields of Oklahoma today for reports of suspension of work by miners, who it was reported would go on "vacation" because of refusal of their demands for increased pay. A "vacation" walkout today of miners of the state under contract with the southwest interstate coal operators' association was predicted last night by E. R. Ross, secretary of district 21, United Mine Workers of America. The southwest operators several days ago denied an increase of 30 per cent demanded oy the miners at a conference in Kansas City. Ross said the men working under the Oklahoma Mine Operators' association probably would not be affected as their demands had not finally been refused. Secretary Ross declared a walkout would not be sanctioned by union officials and indicated that "vacationists" might be suspended from the .union.

COAL PRICE FIXING HAS LITTLE EFFECT ON LOCAL SITUATION The price of Indiana coal delivered in Richmond to the consumer, with the exception of Brazil block, will range from $6.65 to $7.50 a ton for mine run. including freight charges. under prices fixed by a special fuel j and food commission, provided for by the state legislature, which reported ' r 1 .Y-l- Ka . Wednesday. The prices are to be ef fective at once. , " The new. ruling by the commission makes a reduction in price ranging from 30 to 50 per cent, Indiana coal having been sold by local dealers at from $8 to 12 per ton. Prices for screening are 20 cents lower, and prepared sizes 25 cents higher than mine run. Doubt Wisdom of Move. Local dealers say the ruling will not greatly effect the present market, because it does not regulate the price of coal coming from outside the state. Indiana mine operators will sell their coal out of the state where higher prices can be obtained, thus boycotting retailers in Indiana coal in this state, three dealers stated. If the commission can regulate so that the coal can not be sold out of the state, it is very likely that many mines will close rather than operate at a loss, K. Smith, of the Richmond Coal company, predicted. It was point, ed out that the chief objection which the operators made was their inability to get cars for carrying, thus making their working week shorter, causing higher operating expenses, and as a result, higher coal. Will Give Relief. The commission is endeavoring ioi supply the car demand for the Indiana mines, it is reported, and C. C Jones, local dealer, states that this will bring about a much better condition. Indiana coal is not used as much as other coals in Richmond. Since the. commission ruling does not effect la terstate coal, prices will not be greatly lowered for other coal here.

HARDING GOES ANOTHER STEP AGAINST PACT Republican Presidential Nominee Accepts Direct Issue of Rejecting or Ratifying League Covenant. SAYS STANOlS CLEAR DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 7 A direct issue of ratifying or rejecting the league of nations was accepted by Senator Harding in a speech here today, brushing aside the problem of clarifying resrevations and declaring re would "favor staying out" of the covenant written at Versailles. The candidate said he wan

ceptance of the league with reserva tions io ciarny American obligation?, but that the proper course would beto reject those committments altogether. Governor Cox's definition of the issue was accepted in direct terms by the Republican nominee, who sale: Democratic stubbornness had prevented the Senate . from perfecting the. covenant and has made the question placed before the voter a simple one. The Senator also restated his program of a world association based on principles in harmony with the constitution and renewed his pledge to initiate the formation of such a concert Immediately after his election. 'VDur opponents." he said, "are persistently curious to know whether, if or, perhaps I might better say, when I am elected, I intend to 'scrap' the league. It might be sufficient ir reply to suggest the futility of 'scrapping, something which is already 'scrapped.' Whether President Wilson is to be blamed or thanked for the result the fact remains that the Paris league has been 'scrapped' by the hand of its chief architect. League ia Deadly. "The Democratic platform and candidate have not declared for 'an' association, but for 'that' association, and it is that association and not some other which we are promised will be ratified within 60 days if tha Democratic candidate be elected. "The platform, to be sure, approaches its endorsement with winding words and sly qualifications calculated to betray the innocent and entrap the unwary: but it does, nevertheless, endorse the league as it stands. "My position is that the proposed league strikes a deadly blow at our constitutional Integrity and surrenders to a dangerous extent our lndpendence of action." "The Democrat!; platform rejects this position, to ouote the exact words, 'as utterly vain, if not vicious.' "I understand the position of the Democratic candidate and he understands mine. In simple words, it is he favors going into the Paris League and I favor staying out. We Stand Alone "We have been told that we must ratify the proposed covenant in order to become a member of the league, and that, if we do not, we shall be obliged to stand alone with hat in hand and sue for admission hereafter. He who presents such a humiliating picture is singularly blind to the facts. We stand almost alone among th great nations in our disinterested relation to the problems of the world. Because of this, the world is ready to recognize our normal leadership. "Surely, we have suffered enough from the autocratic assumption of a personal wisdom, which will neither take counsel nor learn from experience. "I shall not risk embarrassing and final solution of a problem so momentous by undertaking to lay down in advance specific details or plans. KIWANIANS INFORMED OF NATIONAL GUARD MaJ. L. H. Harrlman, of Indianapolis, spoke to the members of the Kiwanis Club at their luncheon In the K. of P. temple Thursday, urging them to help create a successor to the old state militia company, in the form of a National Guard company. He pointed out the ideal of the new guard regiments that are being formed, which is to have the personnel of the company made up of men whr

wish really to get some good out of the company and to make it a social snd educational feature in the community. "The technical and vocational branches of the guard work are made very prominent," he said, "as Is also the rifle shooting. Special attention is to be directed towards athletics and directors for this have been appointed at the state headquarters." The compensation is an Important feature to a community. In round numbers about $12,000 is paid to an Infantry outfit in a year. The pay of the enlisted men runs from about $100 to $300 per year. The difference in pay is due to the fact that some will be non-commissioned officers. Major Harriman is one of a commission of ten appointed by Adj. Gen. Harry B. Smith, to assist in the formation of the companies In different cities over the state. Several cities have their companies organized and are being mustered In, Mr. Harrlman stated.
