New York, Oct. 15.-The Demo

statement quoting Timothy Healey.
president OF the International Brother
hood of Stationary Firemen, assauthor'
ity for the allegation that Daniel J
Keefe had been promised by the pres.
ident appointment as commissioner
general of immigration in return for
the Detroit labor leaders support OF
Taft The National committee had
promised to make known it's informant
If the charge was denied, as it has
been both by Keefe and at the White
House.
The National committee quotes Mr.
Healey in part as follows:
Il was in Washington Wednesday.
Of last week, on a matter dealing with
our organization which brought me in
contact with an official Of high stand
ing in the government service. He
said to me:

eyes, the job is his he replied.
81 asked him how he knew and he
told me that his informant was a
member of the presidents cabinet and
knew what he was talking about.
This information was not given to
me in a confidential manner, but l
will not give my informant's name, for
1t is plain to see what would happen
to him If his name came out.
There is not any doubt in my
mind, but that the statement that the
president, offered Keefe the position
and that Keefe agreed to accept is
true. Perhaps the offer was not made
at the conference Oct last, but /
believe it has been made"

REMNANT STAYS
IN WINDY CITY
Detroit 0utelassed at All Points of
Game and Loses
Series.

Detrolt, Oct. 15.-By defeating
Detroit to 0, the Chicago team Of
the National League retained it's
title as the champion baseball team Of
the world. The present series differed
but little from that of last year. In
the previous series Detroit managed
to get one tie game and then went
down to four straight defeats. In the
present series. Detroit snatched one
victory out Of the five games played.
The Chicago club, according to the
critics, showed superiority in every
department of the game in the series
as a whole. although this superiority
was not so apparent on the day that
Detroit batted victory off Pfester's
curves. Detroit was handicapped by
Schmidt's inability to cut down rum
ners at second and by the failure OF
her heavy hitting outfield to bat at
critical moments when hits meant
runs. None of the Detroit pitchers
seemed able to consistently puzzle the
Chicago batsmen, for even Mullin,
who pitched Detroit's only victory.
was found for seven hits. Through
the series Chicago's hitting was-oppor-
tune. The occasions were rare when
with men on bases and runs needed. a
Chicago batsman was not there with
the needed hit.
Contests Free from SquabbIinq.
The games were singularly free
from squabbling and on only two or
three occasions were the decisions
OF the umpires questioned At no
time was it necessary for a player to
be sent to the bench to enforce dis
cipline and good order. The series,
however, created less interest in the
two cities most affected than that Of
last year, il the attendance may be
taken as guide. The paid admissions
were only 62,232 for the five games
and the receipts totalled but S94.976
as compared with $1O1, 900 last year.
The attendance at the final game was
but 6,210, with gross receipts Of
$9,5775O.
VI INC lAOhOJ III Tic players
Chicago, the winning team, get $27,-
669, and the Detroit $18,446. The club
owners get s19,6S1 apiece, and the
National commission $9,497.
When the last man on the Detroit
side went out the pendulum of victory
ceased its swing between the two
leagues. In 1903 the worlds cham
pionship emblem went to Boston Of
the American league; in the succeed
ing series New York brought it back
to the National league. In the follow
Ing year the Chicago white Sox"
recaptured 1t for the younger or
ganization. Last year the Chicago
"Cubs" brought it back to the National
league by defeating Detroit. But this
year the pendulum did not swing back,
and flag remains as the proudest ex-
hibit which President Murphy has to
display at the West Side ball park IN

The attendance at the Presbyteri-
an Synod that is in session here
continues to increase at each ses-
sion. The number at the session
Wednesday night was the largest at
any since the meeting began, T his
is probably due to the fact that the
session was devoted entirely to the
discussion of foreign missionary
work.
Three Speeches.
Three interesting speeches were
made by noted missionary workers {.
Rev. j. M. Seig. a return ed mis-
sionaIy worker of Africa, deliver
ed an extended address ON the work
that had been done in Africa and
the prospects for missionary work
in the Congo region. Rev.sG. M.
Harrison also made quite an inter
esting talk about the missionary
work in the Hermit region of
Southern Korea. Another splendid
talk was made by Rev. DR.. Chester,
Secretary of the Foreign Missionary
Committee. on the general condi-
tons and prospects all over the
world.
Separate Meetings.
AT some time during the meeting
here each Presbytery represented
in the Synod will hold meeting
to- transact business, pertaining di-
rectly to their own Presbytery.
The first to hold meeting was the
West. Lexington Presbytery, to
which Winchester belongs. The
only matter. that was before the
meeting was the consideration of
the call from the Jackson church
fol the services of Rev. R. L. Kin
nard. The call was approved, and
the following committee was ap-
pointed to install him in November:
Rev. Cary S. Moore, of Cynthiana;
Rev. R. A. irwin. of Clay City, and
Rev. Joseph Hagan, of Oxford.
