sonal investigation just made he was
satisfied that the property would not
run more than two cents a yard.

The Detroit Team Beaten by a Score of
E to | On Its Own Grounds
The Weather Was Miserable and the Attendance Light.
Errors On Both Sides but Those On the Home Team
Were Costly

Detroit, Oct. lin the first game
of the worlds championship series. on
its own grounds. the Detroit American
League team was beaten this after
noon by the Chicago Nationals by a
score Of to l. 1t was we'll deserved
victory for Chicago as ii played SUI
perior ball throughout the game. There
We're several errors OF omission On the
part of the Detroit team besides two
errors OF commission. which figured in
the Chicago run making.
1t was anything but baseball wealth
er. The temperature ranged between
46 and 80 degrees during the game. a
cold 12-mile wind from the north
blowing across the field. Several times
there were showers, one while Chica
go was batting in the fifth inning, be-
ing so heavy that it was necessary to
interrupt the play for fifteen minutes.
Again in the seventh inning. there was
a sharp shower for a few minutes but
1t did not last long enough to inter-
rupt the game.
The attendance was a disappoint-
ment. reaching only 1906. The raw,
cold day probably had some effect in
holding down attendance, together
with dissatisfaction with the arrange
ments governing the sale of tickets.
Detroit did not at any time show the
snap and dash which marked the play
ing during the American league season
here. Rossman continued his fine
work at first base and drove in De-
troit's only run. Donovan gave but
TWO bases on balls. the same number
which overall did. but both the De-
troit pitchers passes developed into
runs, while neither of OYeralrs gifts

Captain Chance OF the Chicago team
was hit on the right hand by an in
shoot while he was at bat in the open

fingers were badly crushed. The
game was stopped while they were'be-

feared the injury might prevent his

was called at 3 o'clock, Manager Hugh
Jennings Of the Detroit team, was call

Ihe Hunt Has So Far Resulted In Nothing
That Was Hunted For
A New Camp to BE Established Mt Another Point
Where Assurances Are Given That the Country is
Alive With Bear.

Stamboul, oct. IL. - The Roosevelt
camp at Monticello Crossing, has
passed into history. The president is
headed for Boar Lake whence on sun
day he will remove to another camp
which will be pitched near Newellton.
The change of location was decided
upon not only because there was no
bear but because the presidents
friends became convinced that there
was practically none on the upper
Tensas.
They threshed the woods OF the en-
tire Monticello Crossing country. and
il is doubtful whether any fresh signs
of the presence OF the bear family was
discovered.
The president accepts the situation
philosophically. saying that the pres
ent is not the only search for game

CONVICTION
OF SANTA Ff
IN the Grand Canyon Lime
& Cement Case
The Trial Judge Ruled
Against the Only Defense
the Railroad Offered.

Los Angeles, Ocr. 11.-After being
out twenty minutes the jury in the
case of the government against the
Santa Fe railroad on trial for rebat-
ing. in the United States court here
this afternoon, brought in a verdict of
guilty against the railroad on all the
sixty counts of the indictments. Judge
Wellborn before whom the case was
tried. will announce his decision next
Monday. The maximum penalty which
may be imposed is fine of $780,
900.
The charge against the Santa Fe
was that il granted rebates from the
regular tariff on shipments of lime by
the Grand Canyon Lime and Cement
Co. of Arizona. The defense of the
railroad company was that the rebates
were concessions" made for alleged
loss of shipments during transit The
trial began September 80.
In giving a decision on law points
which arose during the trial. Judge
Wellborn today laid down a point of
law which is held to be one of the
most important that has been enunci-
.ated since the interstate commerce
commission existed. He said: "I
hold that the acceptance by the de-
fendant o- a less sum of money than
that made in its tariff for transporta-
tion Of property described in
the Indictment, If there had
been such departure from
the legal rate, it is no justification for
such departure nor is it any defense
against the prosecution thereof. If the
acts OF the carrier are done in COM
promise o. claims for the loss of prop
erty IN transit"
1t Is probable that the railroad COM
pany will appeal from the decision
when il is announced.

NEW COMMISSION IS OUSTED
 OLD CROWD AGAININS SADDLE
Unhilling To Accepf
 PenSi0n From Uncle SNm

If there is a smouldering spark of the old fire left, in the opinion of Gen. J. w. Bush. no veteran of the Host cause would deign to accept a pension from the government of the United States, even if that pension were offered.
 For many reasons, in addition to the great one of pride, and dignity in defeat. General Bush is opposed to the bill to be introduced in Congress by Richmond Pearson Hobson of the Sixth district. ''The bill, in my mind," stated the gen. eral, lis out of the question. It has no parallel in the history of the world It is unnecessary. It is unavailable, and can but bring into renewed existence all the bitterness which, since the end of the war, we have wished buried.
 General Bush was most positive in his statements, and wished his emphatic posi- ton to be we'll understood. He could not fathom the cause of Captain Hobson S proposition. He did not presume to give the opinion of all the veterans of the war, but did state that everyone to whom he had spoken is as violently opposed. "The southern people," calmly remarked the general. "are proud people, and their pride Is never more in evidence than when they are defeated. I believe even until today there is enough of the old fire left to cause every veteran of the lost cause to spurn gratuity from the conquerers.

STEEL MILL BEATS
 PREVIOUS RECORDS
TENNESSEE COMPANIES ENSLEY PLANT IS IN FINE WORKING SHAPE-POPULAR OFFICIALS ACCEPT POSITIONS IN NORTH.

The blooming mill at the Tennessee conn panys steel plant at Ensley has made a new high record. On December 12, the day turn of 12 hours made 656 tons, the best record up to that time. On Wednes- day of this week it beat that record, on a 12-hour turn, by R tons, turning out 66S tons. The management reports that all departments of the steel works are be- having in a highly satisfactory manner
 G. l.. Collard, who has filled the posi- tion of general superintendent of the Tennessee's blast furnaces, left last night for Pittsburg, where he goes to accept the general superintendency of the w. P. Snyder & Co.'S furnace plant. He was formerly with that firm. The office Of general superintendent of furnaces of tho Tennessee company will be abolished.
 V. l.. Wills, general superintendent of the rolling mills of the Republc-Ten- nessee companies, when those two con- cerns were operated together, and recent ly assistant general superintendent of tho Tennessees Ensley division, will leave for Chicago shortly to take charge of the operations of the Inland Steel com pany, of which Charles Hart is president and Alex w. Thompson is director.
 Both Mir Collard and Mir Wills rank as high-class operating men and both have many personal friends in the Bir- Blingham district.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-12-20

We only desire to be let alone. The state governments can care for their old sol- diers and the widows and orphans. It should be positively stated in Wash ington that Captain Hobson's bill is not introduced at the request or solicitation of the Confederate veterans"
 General Bush, however did state that he was of the opinion that the United States government should disburse the money now in the treasury which came from the sale of confiscated southern cot ton. "Of the entire sum- said the gen. eral, "$S,O00,000 is, due to residents of Ala bama, their children and heirs. The gov ernment has never touched this money, and 1t will eventually be distributed. In 1865 a proclamation of President John ston pardoned every man who partici pated in the strife of four years. There fore. our property was not to be confs- cated The money from the cotton tax, which is now recognized as a tax unfair, and levied through reasons other than patriotic, should be returned to the south and will But we do not want that which is not rightfully ours, and which cannot come without a loss of dignity on our part"
 At the next meeting of the local camp of Confederate Veterans, General Bush will offer a resolution unfavorable to the Hob son bill.

ment Chief Wier and the policemen the new commission.
 Thereupon Chairman Copeland ad- dressed letter to Chief Wier reprimand- ing him and requesting an answer to cer- tain question. The chief wrote him that, under the advice of the fcity attorney, he would receive orders from Mayor Ward until the matter had been decided in the courts The old commission then met and suspendd him indefinitely on the charge of insubordination. No date was set for the trial, but Capt. J. S. Johnson was appointed acting chief. Captain Johnson immediately refused and no fur ther action has been taken.
 Mcdonald Probability.
 The question arises whether Chief Wier, who was nominated by the people, can be removed on the ground that he re- fused to obey the orders of the commits sion which was elected by the people. Chief Wier has strong friends on the old commission and may probably be rein stated F. B. Yielding, being a member of both bodies, will retain his influence. However. the name of T. c. Mcdonald is being generally discussed as a prob able man for the place. So many new phases have developed that 1t will be several days before people will recover from the dazel feeling accompanying the shock.
 The commission which was sustained consists of Chairman Hal I Copeland w. R. McGayock, Sid Jones, Lucien Brown, Tom Parker, B. B. Martin and F. B. Yielding.
