 Baseball Series in Conference.

Chicago, Oct 8.-Preliminary to the worlds championship baseball games which begin here tomorrow, National and local baseball officials met here to-day. Rules governing the series and the importance of pre- serving decorum on the field were among the matters thoroughly dis cussed.
 The advance sale of seats makes 1t a foregone conclusion that a record breaking crowd will be present when play is begun in the National league park at 2:S0 p. m. tomorrow.
 The Nationals will go into the field with their lineup intact with the exception of Center Fielder Slagle, whose place will be taken by Arthur Hoffman. It Is believed that Short stop Davis of the White Sox will be able to appear in his old position. which will give Comiskey his regular team.

Friends of Dead Wife of the Arrested Man Thought Her Death Should
 Be Investigated
ARSENIC AND GROUND GLASS
Found in the Stomach of the Dead Woman Trial of Alleged
 Murderer Now On.

Toms River, N. J., Oct 8.-The trial of Dr Frank Brouwer, charged with the murder of his wife, was on the court calendar here to-day. Mrs Brouwer died in September, 1905, af- ter an illness which was diagnosed at first by her husband as cholera morbus. Two trained nurses called to attend her declared themselves dissatisfied with the treatment ad- ministered by Dr Brouwer and with drew from the case. Another nurse was employed and Dr H. H. Cate was called in consultation. Dr Cate re- tired from the case, but later signed the death certificate setting forth that Mrs Brouwer died of Bright's disease.
 Soon after the funeral, rumors be- gan to spread that there was some thing suspicious about Mrs Brouwer's death. It was said that there had been quarrels between Dr Brouwer and his wife over the administration of her parents estate. It was also rumored that Mrs Brouwer had been jealous of one of the doctors women :, patients and that this had caused a disagreement.
 Trevonian E. Hyer of Long Branch, a brother of the dead woman, finally began an investigation. The Metro politan Life Insurance company, in which Mrs Brouwer was insured for $1,000 in favor of her husband, re- fused to pay the policy and also be- gan an. inquiry. As result of these Investigations the body was ex- humed on December 19 and an au- topsy was performed. At this there were present Dr Henry w. Cattell of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr H. E. Shaw of the Long Branch hos pital and Dr H. Forman of Freehold. That Mrs Brouwer's death had not been caused by Bright's disease is said to have been the unanimous opinion reached by the physicians. The digestive organs were removed frona the body and sent to Dr Genth of the University of Pennsylvania for an analysis of the contents. No re- port was made until April and the case was not laid before the grand jury until the following month as Prosecutor Brown could not obtain all of his witnesses until then. It was asserted that Dr Genth had re- ported that he had found traces of arsenic and what was supposed to be ground glass in the stomach. The grand jury found an indictment , charging Dr Brouwer with the mur- der of his wife and he was arrested by Sheriff Jeffrey and locked up in the county jail at Toms River. When arraigned before Supreme Court Jus tice Charles E. Hendrickson. he pleaded not guilty.
 Early in the investigation Dr Cate disappeared and his whereabouts was not discovered until December 24. when he was found in Springfield. Mass. His disappearance was not connected with the Brouwer case by his friends as he had gone on in a mysterious way once before. Later he appeared before the grand jury as a witness in the Brouwer case.

SHAW SAYS THE

BRYAN 10 BLAME FOR 1T
So the Secretary of Treasury Says Republicans Are Safe For
 Years to Come He Says.

Cincinnati, O., Oct 8.-Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the United States treasury, in an interview last night, said:
 We are in no danger whatever of losing the national house of repre- sentatives.. The democrats have lost all hope of carrying it since MT Bryan made his New York speech advocat- ing the government ownership of rail- roads. That has destroyed all their chances of success for years to come and they will have to look about for new issues and new men. Bryan and Hearst are all the party has left in presidential timber, and more's the pity, for I like to see strong men in the opposition. Senator Bailey and John Sharp Williams are the only conspicuous figures in the south and they are impossible. I don't like to delve into mans motives, but suppose MT Bryan believes in govern ment ownership and thinks it will win. He will never see it.''
