MUST STAND TRIAL
George Mackown Fails to Escape Court
Hearing on Technicaity = De"

Special to Times-Republican.
Webster City, Oct. S.-Judge Wright
this morning overruled the motion OF
d. c. Chase to quash the indictment
against the famous George Mackowr.,
charged with embezzlement and with
the burning of Webster City's $780,
600 felt shoe factory. He held that
the Jury lists were irregular, because
they contained the names of several
Judges of election boards, but that this
irregularity did not prejudice the rights
OF the defendant
The members of the felt shoe COM
pany are jubilant, for they feared the
prisoner would go free without even "a
trial, especially after Judge Lee dis
missed the whole jury panel yester-
day because of the same Irregularities
as applied to the Mackown jury.

Des Moines, Oct. s.-The Cedar Rap

the statement is added that Cummlns

rate he was to have been the bench
ciary.
The Cummins man who is being used
for the basis of the story is Cedar

man who has been outside the political
current for almost twenty years. he
is an admirer of Cumnlins, so much so
that he came to Des Moines at the time

man who had been at all active in the

to convey false information by inuendo

called as witness. Cuthbert is a son
of the late John Cuthbert, who was

of the Manhattan after it's purchase,
VISA gradually reduced from $4,000, 900
to $150,00O.
"Who owns the Manhattan Com
pany?'

OF the syndicate of London owns 1495
shares, and qualifying directors own
the other five shares
Cuthbert added that he voted all
stock of the Manhattan by the power

weather is ideal for ball playing. bright

The leaders of both teams expressed

his team to be better drilled than De-

He was not unduly confident, but de-

FOR WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP.
Detroit and Chicago Cubs to Play To.
day for Honors.

Chicago Oct. S.-The great worlds S
series begins today. Chicago and De-
! troit will meet in the great struggle
which is to determine their respective
merits The first game is to be played
in Chicago Overall will be pitted
against Donovan. A giant in stature
and ability pitching against similar
man. Each pitcher is backed by the
best team in it's respective league.
AS the time approaches for the con-
test the belief seems to be stealing over
the fans that the Cubs are going to
win. Many fan, who after the great
victory Of the Tigers in the American
league could see nothing but a success
for the team against the Cubs, is now
changing his opinion. The sober sec
ond thought is convincing him that as
an all around team the Chicago bunch
is superior Detroit won the race by
taking the bit in it's teeth and running
amuck 1t can hardly hope to repeat
the process in the present series. How
ever, there is this much to be said.
If Detroit starts out right, wins a
game or two, then the Cubs will prob
ably never be able to catch them. The
Cubs showed themselves to be grand
ball players last year, but exhibited
weak hearts.
1t would take a small sized fortune
to watch the series decent seat will
cost 50. and If the struggle is pro-
longed for a long time many a fan
will do without luNuries to journey to
Detroit and see the games there.
The Chicago Nationals have one
great thing to fight for If they win
the series it will be the first time that
they have ever won the worlds cham
riorship. In 1885 st Louis tied with
Chicago for the worlds title. In the
next year st. Louis beat Chicago and
last year the Chicago Americans took
the measure of the Nationals Chance
hopes to make it the first. II he is
able to do ii he will add to The great
reputation he already has mmeasur-
ably.

IMPORT VALUES INCREASE.
Margin Between Exports is Narrowing
But Latter Has Good Lead.

Washington, Oct. s.-Attention has
been attracted recently to the increas-
ed value of the imports into the
United States from foreign countries
and to the narrowing margin of the
values of imports and exports. The
margin, as shown by the official stat
istics is, however yet on the credit side
of Americas ledger and, in the opinion
of the government experts, is likely
there to remain.
For the month of August, for in
stance, the excess of exports over inn
ports aggregated in value s1,464 ,404;
and the excess of exports over imports
for the eight months ended August 81,
was 194,453,162.
1t is important to note, in this con-
nection, that the increase in imports
into America is due, in considerable
measure, to the increased prices which
imported commodities command in the
markets of the world.
