FOR WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Ideal Baseball Predicted for the Strug-
gle Between the Two Chicago Teams.
Both Managers Seem Confident

Chicago, Ill, October S.-Ideal base
ball is predicted for tomorrow, and
tonight every one in Chicago who
ever saw the national game Of America
played, is anxiously waiting for the
call of time tomorrow at 2:3O O'Clock,
when the Chicago Nationals and the
Chicago Americans will meet in the
first game Of a series of seven for the
worlds championship. Both teams
are in excellent condition for the
struggle and both are confident of vic
tory. The pitchers on both the teams
are in excellent form and both Mana
gers Chance and Jones tonight declare
that the losing team would have no
excuse to offer for defeat except that
the ball players had won. AS to who
would pitch the first, neither Chance
nor Jones was able to announce to-
night with any degree of certainty.
Chance said he hoped Brown would
be the selection while Jones said the
man who showed up best in the work
of tomorrow would be one selected.
So great is the interest in the COM
ing series that many Of the railroads
are offering reduced rates from out of
town points. Several hundred persons
from nearby cities arrived here to-
night only to find that all reserved
seats had been disposed Of three days
ago and they will be compelled to
stand in line tomorrow and take their
chances On getting inside the grounds
through the general admission fate.
TomOrrow's game will be played on
the ground Of the National League,
President Murphy having won the toss
giving him the first game.

MISTAKE IN VESSELS
Supposed Schooner X. ID. Bibber Turns
Out to be the James ID. Dewell-AlI
on Board the Latter it Is Supposed
Were Lost.

Several weeks ago a schooner that
was supposed to be the r. D. Bibber,
CAS- tons, and loaded with lumber, was
picked up off the Carolina coast and
towed off Of the Cape Fear bar. Not
until yesterday was it known that the
vessel was not the Bibber but the
James. q. Dewell, 502 tons, Captain
Hammond, and bound from Charles
ton to New York with cargo of lum-
ber. All on board the Dewell must
have been lost for nothing whatever
has been heard of them and she was
picked up just after the storm Of the
18th of September. All of the crew
of the Bibber were saved.
1t was learned Sunday afternoon
that there. was an upturned vessel ly-
ing to the southwark Of the bar and
the tug Alexander Jones went out af-
ter her. 1t was found that the last
schooner was the Bibber and the other
the Dewell. While the tug Rescue
from Norfolk is in this vicinity an eff
fort will probably be made to right the
schooners.

Charges Brought Against the Stand
ard Oil Company and its Alleged
Constituent Companies

F'irdlay, O.. October S.-Charged
with conspiracy against trade" in vio-
lation Of the anti-laws OF the state. the
Standard Oil Company of Ohio and
it's alleged constituent companies. the
Buckeye Pipe Line and the Manhat-
tan Oil Company, will be placed on
trial here tomorrow before Judge
Gideon G. Banker. and jury in thc
probate court Of Hancock county. In
the original information fled last
June, John d. Rockefeller was made a
party to suit. but through the grant
ing OF a request for separate trial.
Mr.. Rockefeller will not be called as
a defendant until the case against the
company had been disposed Of.
Both the manner Of bringing the suit
and the Jurisdiction Of the probate
court have been questioned by the at
torneys for the defense. but Judge
Banker has decided against them on
taken on these preliminary questions
until after the case has been tried.
Judge Banker ruled that a violation
OF the valentine law constituted
/ misdemeanor and that the last session
of the legislature gave probate courts
concurrent jurisdiction with common
pleas courts over all misdemeanors.
The Valentine law under which the
action is brought was passed July i,
| 1898. 1t defines trust deliberately as
| a combination of capitat, skill or acts
| by two or more persons, firms. etc,
| to create or carry out restrictions in
trade The violations of the act are
| defined as conspiracy against trade"
and punishable by fine of from $50
! to $4,000, or imprisonment from six
to twelve months.
! The information to which the plea
| of mot guilty" has been entered,
| alleges the formation OF the Stand
/ ard Oil Trust" in 1882 and its con in
uance to the present time in nina
tion Of the oil industry Of the state,
contrary to the statutes of the state.
The first day of trial will doubtless
| be consumed in securing jury.
| Several witnesses have been subpoe-
naed, whose names are withheld.

DAY CELEBRATION
Banquet VIII Probably be Given at the
Hotel Orton-A Permanent Organi-
zation VIII be Perfected.

The special committee appointed to
map out plans for observing University
day met last night and talked over
the matter and practically decided to
give banquet at The Orton. Nothing
definite has been decided upon but it
is very probable that banquet will
be given and It is earnestly desired
that as many University men as posi-
Bile attend.
There seems TO be an erroneous i'm
preston among some University men
as who are invited 70 participate in
the observance of the University day.
A man does not have TO be graduate
o fthe University to be an alumni.
All who desire to attend the banquet
are requested to notify Benz. Bell, Jr.
1t is very likely that DR.. Edward Kid
der Graham, associate professor OF
English, will be here and address the
alumni on the night of the 18th. At
the gathering on Friday night per-
manent organization will be effected
and it is hoped that some read good
for the University can be accom-
plished DR.. Graham is one of the
best known Of the younger professors
at the University.

SPANISH WAR VETERANS
Washington-Big Delegations From
Nearly All of the States.

Washington, October S.-Spanish-
American war veterans from practical :
ly every state in the union are in at
tendance upon the third annual ell
campment of the organization which
began it's sessions here today When
the first session of the encampmen1
was called to order by Commander, in
Chief Charles R. Miller, of Ohio. all
of the eastern, middle western and
southern states were represented by
big delegations. Massachusetts, New
York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Him
Ois, and Oklahoma sent notably large
delegations.
The sessions of the encampment are
being held in the national guard ar
mory, the first being joint session of
the United States war veterans and the
national auxiliary to the organization.
After Commander-in-Chief Miller
had called the session, Father A. H. I.
Reiney, national chaplain, pronounced
the invocation. Henry B. F. McFar.
land, president of the board of district
commissioners, welcomed the delegates
and their comrades to Washington
Chief Miller responded
to the welcoming address.
Commander-in-Chie Miller then sub
mitted to the delegates his report for
the year. He reviewed his personal
work as commander-in-chief, and said
awakening of interest in the organiza-
ton, especially in the south, where
many camps now are being formed. A
tentative agreement has been entered
into between Commander Miller and
Commander Walker of the Legion OF
Spanish war veterans of Massachusetts,,
providing for a consolidation of the
two organizations. It probably will be
ratified at this encampment.
The Massachusetts organization has
about 4,500 members.

Havana, October S.-The factional
i'll feeling that has existed at Cienfue-
gos since the presidential campaign
of 1905, resulting in the death Of Con-
gresham Villuendas, and Chief of Po-
lice Illance, increased during the re-
cent revolution to such an extent that
the return of the rebels from the field
is causing dangerous condition,
which the provisional government con-
siders it is highly necessary to end.
In view of this Governor Taft tonight
sent Consul General Steinhart TO
Cienfuegos, with authority TO take any
action he may deem advisable in the
interest of a reconciliation of political
differences there and inaugurating a
fresh start toward a reasonable degree
Of mutual good will between the NAL
contents.
Governor Taft believes that it is par
ticularly necessary that the vexed To-
cal situation in Cienfuegos shall be set
tied before the issuance of an amnesty
decree, since he has determined to in
clude in the amnesty all persons
charged with completely in the Vilun-
das murder. He holds that if he
yielded to the opportunities of many
residents of Cienfuegos and he allow
ed those charged with the crime tC
be brought to trial, it would result, in
, the event of their acquittal by judge
belonging to the moderate party, in
re-opening the. quarrel over the Incl

MONUMENT TO MIVER
Appeal to the People of North Caro-
lima to Erect Heroic Bronze statute
to Perpetuate His Memory.

DR.. Charles D. McIver devoted his
life to the service Of his people No
man of our day has rendered greater
and more lasting service. Moved by
love Of his people and consciousness of
his mission and duty, at great financial
sacrifice he rejected tempting offers
from time to time to leave the state
and to enter the commercial world at
home. His life stands out perhaps the
highest ideal in this generation OF
North Carolinians of unselfish civic
service. We believe tnat the people,
whom he served in so many ways with
SO much fidelity, ability and love, will
deem it a privilege and an honor to
contribute to a fund for the erection
of an heroic bronze statue to perpet-
uate his memory. The undersigned
committee, therefore, appointed by the
governor of the state, earnestly appeals
to every citizen Of North Carolina who
loves his state and honors unselfish
service, to send at once liberal contri-
button for this memorial The statue
should be worthy Of the man and MS
people.
It is hoped, therefore, that at leas,
$4,000 may be contributed. Fifty men
and women in North Carolina could
easily contribute 500 each; one hun
dred men and women $50 each; twE
hundred men and women s25 each; twc
, hundred men and women SO each; and
host OF men and women will. We be
lieve. gladly contribute smaller
amounts. Let all express their grail
tude for unseffsh service rendered by
a contribution to this worthy cause
The committee will make every effor,
to raise the necessary funds within the
next thirty Or sixty days. Let thu re-
spenses be prompt Acknowledgement
OF all contributions will be made
through the press.
Send all contributions and pledges &c

WANTS Dozen MEN
ON FOOTBALL TEAM

ITHACA. December lo.-Coach Warner,
Of the Cornell football team. declared to-
day that he was IN favor OF having twelve
men comprise the football team. He said
bee had found IL difficult under the new
rules this season TO formulate plays with
eleven man. and that he was convinced
that a better game could Zoe played with
twelve men.
Each time 7 had a play figured out, "
said Warner, 1T failed 10 please me, for
it seemed that there was always one
player missing"
He Illustrated his remarks with q dla-
gram showing how. on the ofense. the
drawing back of a Hnesman FOR a plunge
revealed the purpose and weakened the
line. on the defense he showed how easy
twas 70 draw of the meagre secondary
defense by a fake play. An extra man in
the rear. he commended. would balance tho
defense and make the game more a match
on even terms.
IT would like to see all restrictions re-
moved from the fOrward pass Warner
added. The rule giving the ball 10 the
other side when II hits the ground has
made teams afraid to employ it, while the
limit Of its use 10 two times and COM
polling IL to DE passed five yards from
centre have kept the play from being de-
velOped 10 its fullest extent"
