INDIANS WIN WORLD SERIES; SCORH TO 0 Make Runs in Fourth, Fifth and Seventh Coveleskie Holds Dodgers at His Mercy in Final Game. MARQUARDJS FINED (By Associated Press) CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 12. The American league pennantwinners are the world's baseball champions of 1920. They . defeated the Brooklyns by the score of 3 to 0 and won the big championship in baseball. The big Pole, Coveleskie, winning his third game of the series, held the Brooklyns helpless. The series ended with five victories! for Cleveland and two for the National league champions. On the sunburnt, dusty field of League park easily 26,000 cheering Clevelanders watched the Indians clash with the Brooklynites. With their much vaunted pitching staff shot to pieces, the Brooklyns faced the none too inspiring prospects of being picked on again by Stanley Coveleskie, who has already twice turned back the Dodgers to defeat. Grimes started for Brooklyn. The Speaker tribe needed only one victory to end the Beries in their favor. Richard "Rube" Marquard, of the Brooklyn Nationals, was fined $1 and costs in the local municipal court! here on a charge of violating the exhibition ticket ordinance. President Heydler, of the National league, who was in court with Marquard, stated trsat as the violation was merely technical he would take no further action in the matter. President Heydler said, however. that he did not believe that Marquard) would be in the National league next year. 'Marquard has hurt Brooklyn and he ha. hurt the National league by his action," said Mr. Heydler. "Baseball doesn't want men of his calibre and I don't think he will be back in the league next season, although I probably won't, take any official action myself." Marquard, who had asked for a special hearing of his case in view of the fact that he might participate in today's game, appeared in court accompanied by National League Attorney Joseph Heinteman.

ROTARY ENTERTAINS BOYS OF GARFIELD AT WEEKLY FEAST Seventy-five boys from Garfield high school were the guests of the Rotary club at their weekly luncheon which was held in the Grace M. E. church Tuesday noon. The Ladies' Aid society of the Church put an elaborate feast on the table for the older boys of Rotary and the younger ones of Garfield. Each Rotarian introduced himself and guest after the close of the meal, and told the age and ambition of the boy. Considerable rivalry developed during the introducing as to the political affiliations of the boys. Great amusement was afforded by many of the youngsters when their ideas did not coincide with their host. The ambitions of the guests included presidents of the United States, world's series baseball players, surgeons, cartoonists and hod-carriers. Rotary Explained. H. R. Robinson gave a talk outlining the idea of Rotary which has three things as its basis; first, the fellowship or "get acquainted" idea; second, the policy of the club to try to "pick a winner" for membership in the organization; and third, that after a man is a member of the club he must fall in line with the work of the club which has as its basis that "he profits most who serves best." All members and guests of the club were decked in gay colored caps which they wore during the meal. The caps had the Rotary seal and the ones worn by the boys were presented to them as presents. The only business transacted by the club was to receive a report from Arthur Curme who attended the Wayne County Breeders' association meeting at Centerville. The time of meeting being up, no action was taken on his report and further developments were left to be handled by the committee. Farmers' Committee To Visit President WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. Appointment of a committee to present to the White House a request for a conference with President Wilson and his cabinet for the submission of the needs of agriculturalists was decided upon at a meeting here today of representatives of farm organizations from all parts of the United States. The committee chosen consists of a representative from each of the farm organizations. The farmers' representatives also decided to ask for a conference with the Federal reserve board.

IS NEW STOCK

SALE VENTURE BONAJIDE? Information Concerning New Steel and Iron Company Indicates Speculative Nature of Stock Offering. weaknesseTexposeo A campaign for the sale of stock of the Silver Steel & Iron company, which, according to a prospectus distributed to prospective investors, proposes to locate its plant in Richmond, has been in progress in this city for several days. Information concerning various men who are behind this project indicates that it is a Etock promotion scheme of j a decidedly "blue sky" nature. ine oiiver sieei & iron company was recently organized under the lawB of Ohio and, later, will be reincorporated under the laws of Indiana. The company's prospectus shows all the officers of the concern are non-residents of Richmond, with one exception, Ray K. Shiveley, a Richmond attorney, who is listed as "attorney." Mr. Shiveley stated that he was not an officer nor a director in the company, that he had no interest in the company, and that he had nothing to do with the sale of stock. The capital stock of the Silver Steel & Iron compony is $300,000, with $150,000 preferred and $150,000 common. The promoters propose to sell the preferred Btock issue in Richmond. Get Big Commission The promoters are to receive 13 per cent of all stock sales as promotion commissions. In the organization of legitimate enterprises promotion commissions vary from one-half of 1 per cent to 2 per cent on stock sales. The plan usually followed in the organization of such stock promotion schemes as the the Silver Steel and Iron company is said to be for the promoters to help themselves to exhorbitant commissions in the disposal of as much stock as is possible, then depart with their loot, leaving the stockholders to "hold the bag," which "bag" generally includes a partially paid for factory site and an unequipped and unpaid for factory building. It i stated that the Silver Steel and Iron company promoters have secured as a site for the proposed factory ten acres of the William J. Griffin sub-division in West Richmond. The promoter ' represent that the price for this property was $10,000. It is stated that the promoters have actually made an advance payment of $500 on the. property and that the deed for it is being held in escrow by a local bank until enough stock can be sold to pay the balance. Listed as President. Walter R. Munger is listed as president and general manager of the Silver Steel and Iron company. Mun ger has had an interesting career as a stock selling promoter. About a year ago he promoted a manufacturing concern in a neighboring oil -. Three months ago the factory erected for this concern was standing in a sea of weeds. Not a wheel was turning in this plant for the very good reason that there was no machinery in the plant with which to turn the wheels. It was also ascertained at the sams time that the company was threatened with financial difficulties which the stockholders were trying desperately to solve. Mr. Munger resigned as an officer of the company some time after the stork selling campaign had been successfully concluded. Having received his promotion commission, Mr. Munger apparently lost interest in the enterprise. The other listed officers of the Stiver Steel and Iron company are S. C. Ligett, vice president, F. C. Heun, treasurer, E. L. Adams, secretary, and William J. J. Miles, director. None of these men reside in Richmond, and very little is known about them. It is stated that the promoter? propose to have only two Richmond men on the board of directors. FULL ATTENDANCE OF CITY BOOSTERS ASKED Reports from the membership campaign staged by the Young Men's Business club will be given at the meeting of the club Tuesday night in the council chamber of the city hall. Officers of the organization are urging that every man who has signed up as a member previous to and duri ing the campaign be present at the meeting. Twenty teams of two men each have been working since last Thursday to get all young men of the city below the age of 40 signed up for active membership in the club. Reports that have been turned into Leroy Hodge,' secretary, and Howard Steinkamp, chairman of the membership committee, indicate that the goal of 1,000 members will be reached. The membership committee has issued the statement that if any young men of the city, who have not been seen by some team, are desirous of joining the club, they can do so at the meeting tonight. A meeting of the finance committee of the club which has in charge the raising of funds for the Armistice Day celebration was held Tuesday afternoon. It was decided to district the town and begin a solicitation of funds the last part of the week. A complete report of the committee will be given at the young men's meeting tonight. McSWINEY HAS GOOD NIGHT LONDON, Oct. 12.

BITTERTeGAL FIGHT THREATENED RESULT OF COAL PRICE FIXING INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 12. Prospects of a bitter legal fight over the orders of the special Coal and Food commission fixing the price of coal at the mines loomed today as the result of the statement of Philip Penna' of Terre Haute, secretary-treasurer f the Indiana Bituminous Coal Operators' association, openly d.efying. the commission. Mr. Penna in his statement issued hero last night, declared that the order was "ruinous to the state and the industry." and asserted that the operators had no intention of following the program of costs outlined by the commission. Chairman Eschbach of the commission, today declined to state what steps the o-mmifFion contemplated as a result of the defiance uttered by Mr. Penna. It was indicated, however, that the commission was ready to take any legal steps necessary to enforce its orders. Reiterates Statement. Mr. Eschbach reiterated his statement that any coal man in the state who could show that he could not operate profitably on the margin of profits allowed by the commission's orders cculd secure a modification of the orders. A number of telegrams offering coal to the commission were received from operators. Several small mining companies in making their offers asked that, their names be withheld. James H. Persons of the Queen Coal and Alining company, a large operator, offered coal from the company's No. 2 mine but stated that he could not ship from mines No. 3 and 4 because of the cost being above the figure set by the commission. He was notified that if any of his mines could not operate under the figures fixed he could secure a modification. The Knox county operators, through Carl J. Fletcher, has notified the commission that the organization today placed 25 carloads of coal at the disposal of the commission and that 20 carloads a day during the remainder of the week will be subject to Its orders. This will assist materially in meeting the situation, Mr. Eschbach said. Simms Resigned. D W. Simms, special Assistant Attorney General in the cases pending against coal operators and officials of the United Mine Operators of America, indicted under the Lever act last winter has resigned, it became known here today. Mr. Simms, while admitting that he had sent his resignation to Attorney General Palmer at Washington, declined to discuss the case, when seen at his home in "LaFayette. Ind.. le is understood, however, that Mr. Simms' resignation was due to a disagreement with the Attorney General over procedure and evidence to be used in the coal cases. It is understood that Mr. Simms received a letter from Mr. Palmer a few days ago placing certain restrictions on the evidence to be used in the coal cases, and that Mr. Simms' resignation, followed closely upon the receipt of this letter. Just what the restrictions in the letter were is not known, and Mr. Simms declines to discuss the case, at least until action has been taken on his resignation. RAILWAY MANAGER FOUND DEAD; INDIGESTION CAUSE ASHVILLE, N. C, Oct. 12. W. N. Florence, a vice president and geneneral manager of lines east for the Southern railway, was found dead in his private car at Hendersonvilla early today, by his porter. Acute Indigestion was assigned as the cause by physicians.

NIGHT RIDER RAIDS IN GEORGIA ARE MET BY STERN MEASURES (By Associated Press) ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 12. The shooting to death yesterday of a negro guard at a cotton gin in Arkansas, numerous fires of undetermined origin, in which cotton has been destroyed and wide-spread threats of night riders to burn gins, whose owners ignore warnings to discontinue operations until the staple reaches a price ofO cents a pound, have resulted in the issuance of proclamations by Governor Brough, of Arkansas, and Kiley, of Alabama, and statements of their positio'n by Governors Doraey, of Georgia, end Cooper, of South Carolina. Governor Biough upon being advised last night of the shooting of Nora Canadian in Lonoke county, issued a proclamation condemning the killing and lawnessness in some of our counties growing out of the prevailing low price of cotton. The Governor called on the state adjutant general and sheriffs of counties "where there are likely to be dusturbances, to use all power at their command to suppress these night riding outrages." Posts of the American Legion were also urged to cooperate with the authorities. Claims Robbery Motive. The killing of Canada until late last night had been regarded by the authorities as a possible outgrowth of night riding activities as the owner of the gin at which the negro was killed is said to have received a warning to close it. Two negroes have been arrested and charged with the killing however, and one of them is said to have confessed that the motive was robbery, refuting the theory that the shooting was an act of night riders. In a proclamation citing the burning of gins and gin houses in Alabama. Governor Kilby has offered a reward of $250 for the arrest and conviction of any person guilty of the destruction of property. "This character of lawlessness deliberately violates one of the fundamental purposes for which government is established and threatens to substitute for orderly government a reign of terror and violence." the Governor declared. Deplores Fanatics. Governor Cooper in a communication to I. W. Harris, solicitor of the tenth judicial circuit of South Carolina, deplored the acts of "fanatica" and gave assurance that should any situation develop which would require extra effort on the part of the state he would not hesitate to order it. Replying to a suggestion from a county sheriff that the offer by the state of a regard for the arresjt of night riders in G&orgia would have a beneficial effect, Governor Dorsey stated that threats against property in Georgia constituted a misdemeanor only, and that under the circumstances he was not authorizedto post a reTBovernbr" declared, ; however, that in the. event property was destroyed a felony would have been committed and that he would be glad to offer tho highest reward possible under law." AUTHORITIES FAIL IN HUNT FOR BODY OF BABY COUGHLIN (By Associated Press) HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 12 August Pasquale, self confessed kidnapper of Blakely Coughlin, today took Captain Samuel Gerhart, of the state police, to a spot along the Schuylkill River below Norristown, where he declared he had thrown the body of the child, and a diver found a piece of rail and some string which he alleged he had tied to the child when he hurled it into the stream, according to a statement made today by Major L. G. Adams, superintendent of the state prlice. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 12 Investigation of the latest confession of August Pasquale, the "crank" in which he is alleged to have told Major Lvnn G. Adams, head cf the state po-H'-.e that he accidentally smothered BJakely Coughlin while stealing the baby from the home of its parents in Norristown last June, was continued today. Pasquale, according to Major Adams, said that when he lifted the child from its crib it started to cry and that ho placed it under his coat, which he buttoned tightly. After making his escape and running some distance, he unbuttoned the coat and found tha child dead. Search Is Failure Search of the woods and swamps f round Egg harbor and new Gretna, N. J., yesterday failed to reveal any trace of the child's body. It was in the neighborhood of Egg harbor that Pasquale purchased a small farm shortly after he succeeded in obtaining $12,000 from George H. Coughlin, the missing child's father, on the promise to return the boy and it also was there that he was captured when he attempted to get an additional $10,000 ransom. Because of the many false clues Pasquale is said to have given those working on the case since he confessed the kidnapping, neither the Norristown police nor the Coughlins place much credence in his latest story. Magistrate O. H. Lenhart declared today that Pasquale has not yet told the truth, and added: "I cannot tell all that I know, but the real story will be out within a few days and it will be found that Blakely Coughlin is alive. I am certain of that and expect to hear of Mrs. Coughlin making a complete identification of her baby before Friday."

VIENNA BANK CLERKS GO OUT ON STRIKE (By Associated Fressl VIENNA. Oct. 12. Two thousand men making up the entire clerical staff of the postoffice savings bank, struck today, demanding more rapid promotion and better working conditions. The daily turnover of the bank approximates 1,000,000,000 crowns and the strike is strongly resented by the public, which attempted to storm the building today1

Manages 1 2 Hotels

Mrs. Sarah E. Sumner. A woman managing twelve hotels. It sounds like exaggeration, but it isn't. Mrs. Sarah E. Sumner has just been made general manager of the government hotels in Washington, D. C. Mrs. Sumner is not new to hotel work, for she was formerly manager of the tourists' headquarters at Yellowstone National park. She is an expert in home economics, which I makes her an able manager of the din ing rooms and kitchens of her hotels. The twelve hotels house more than 1,900 girls, quite a large number to be hostess to, but Mrs. Sumner, it is felt, is quite equal to the task. THREE BANKS FIX 41-2 PER CENT ON SAVINGS DEPOSITS Still higher interest rates are promised local savings depositors by the announcement Tuesday of the Dickinson Trust company that it will hereafter pay 4 per cent, on savings. The Dickinson Trust company increase goes a half per cent better than the initial raise to 4 per cent, announced Sunday by the American Trust and Savings bank. What action the latter institution will now take could not be learned Tuesday as President Charles W. Jordan was out of the city. , Both the First National and Second National banks, which announced 4 per cent rates Monday, are out Tuesday -with thwordthat they will meet the 4 per VmT fate and extend a similar increase to their savings depositors. Explain Raise Each attributes the additional raise in the interest rate to a disagreement between the trust companies, a condition that if so. may result in the extra half per cent interest being a temporary measure. President George Cates of the LTnion National bank is out of the city and it is not known what action that institution will take towards meeting the higher interest rates announced by the other banks. Meantime borrowers are sitting up and taking notice. Four and one-half per cent, if permanently maintained, will undoubtedly mean much higher interest rates for all time in the future on loans than has normally been the case in the past. GUMMINGS, LANDERS SPEAK HERE TONIGHT With all arrangements for a rousing political meeting completed. Democratic officials rested on their oars Tuesday in anticipation of the arrival of Homer Cummings, of Connecticut, and Miss Julia Landers, of Indianapolis, who were scheduled to speak on Tuesday evening at the coliseum.

WEST SOLID REPUBLICAN SAYSALLEN Governor of Kansas Urges Election of G. 0. P. Ticket in Address at Chautauqua Grounds Monday Evening. ATTACKSWAR WASTE Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas, speaking to a crowd which filled a large tent at Chautauqua grounds Mon-J day evening urged the election of the Republican ticket His denunciation of the Democratic administration brought forth round after round ot applause. Discussing the campaign situation with a number of men in a hotel lobby prior to the meeting Governor Allen declared that Harding and Coolidge would be elected by a "landslide" majority. West Is Solid. "The entire west is solidly Republican. Kansas will go Republican by 200.000," the governor 6aid. In 1916 Wilson carried Kansas. Governor Allen was introduced to his big audience at the Chautauqua grounds by Filmore Riggs. The proposed league of nations was sharply criticized by Governor Allen. He said there had been eleven such leagues organized in the last 2,000 years and each had been a failure Governor Allen gave his approval to the Esch-Cummins railroad bill, declaring it was one of the most constructive measures passed by congress in many years. He asserted that the railroad employes were the principal beneficiaries under the act. Assails Extravagance. He declared that government expenditures, generally speaking, during the world war were the last word In reckless wastefulness. He advocated a thorough investigation of these expenditures and the arrest and prosecution of every profiteer. The governor cited many instances of how the American taxpayers' money was literally thrown away by the war department during the war. He asserted that automobiles, shoes, blankets and other supplies were destroyed by the government after the armistice so that they would not have to be re-sold. The government did not want to "break the price" on the products it destroyed, he said. Hundreds of army automobiles in France were crushed by tanks, the govrenor said. Discussing the agricultural situation. Governor Allen said: "We all know there is a great demand for export wheat and in the face of that demand we have seen a drop in price before any considerable amount has been filled. This drop is unnatural. Export wheat was selling at $3.05 up to a few weeks ago, when the Chicago Board of Trade, which was in operation, opened. "Wheat went down, not in obedience to the law of supply and demand, but because of manipulation, aided by the arrival on the market nf ran-. jian wheat, which the traders had ueen Duying under the provisions of the last Democratic tariff law. The old Republican tariff law provided a differential of 25 cents a bushel. Protection' Due Farmer "This protection is due to the American farmer because he can not raise wheat as cheaply as in Canada. Today Canada has this and the added advantage of a differential in the exchange in money, a differential which would give them an advantage of 15 cents a bushel. So two reasons exist for the sensational drop the manipulation of the Chicago Board of Trade, the result of which was manifested from the very day the board opened its operations, and the use of the board has been able to make of Canadian wheat. "The board has used this limited supply to drive down the market There is no relief unless the president should lay his hands on the Chicago Board of Trade. I have requested a thorough investigation of the manipulations. He can not use the war acts, so the only relief is to stop manipulation on the board and to restore protection to the United States wheat farmers against the free inroads of Canadian wheat." MAY SfOP HARDING SPEECHMAKING TOURS (By Associated Press) MARION, O.. Oct. 12 Senator Harding will leave Marion late this afternoon on his fourth- speechmaking trip outside Ohio, a circuit which will take him through Kentucky, Indiana and Tennessee and will wind up with a Saturday night meeting in St. Louis. It may also be his last tour away from his home state during the campaign if plans under serious consideration are finally approved. These plans contemplate cancellation of the senator's date at Buffalo on Oct. 21. and allotment of most of his time after this week to front porch speeches and other affairs here in Marion. A few Ohio cities are to be visited, however, regardless of the final decision as to an eastern trip. To Address New Voters Two red letter days of the campaign in the home sector will be Oct. 18 when delegations of first voters wtti be addressed by the candidate here, and Oct. 20. when he will speak at a barbecue at Jackson, O.
