Rip Hagerman made a great show

batted out of the box. Only three
hits were secured off the tall one in
eight innings. OF his splendid work,
Hugh s. Fullerton in the Chicago

the champions had out of the bad
showing of Reulbach was the fact that
any Cub who pitched would have had
to shut out the Pirates to win. The
Cubs could have made one run, had
they needed only one, and that was
all. for three of their six hits off Lei
field were rank scratches.

SeIf=Confessed Assassin of Two Sis

from Lynchlne by Action
of Authorities
tBy Associated Press. !

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 27.-James
Mcmahon, the confessed triple MUIR
derer, was charged today in three in
formations filed in the city court in
Kansas City, Kas., by County Prose-
cutor Taggart with having killed Mar
garet Van Royen and Rose Mcmahon,
his sisters, and Alonzo Van Royen,
his brother-in-law.
Following this action, Under Sheriff
Brady started for Lansing, Kas., with
the warrant for the mans arrest.
Mcmahon will be removed temporarily
from the immediate precincts of the
state penitenttary, to which he was
hurried last night to prevent his be-
ing lynched, and the warrant formally
served upon him.
Then the prisoner will be returned
to the penitentiary for safe keeping,
pending his removal to Kansas City
for a preliminary, which will probably
be set for late this week.
According to the prosecutor, no
charge will be preferred against Pat
rick Mcmahon, whom James exoner-
ated from all blame, or against Patrick
Lamb the hired man, whose state
ments to the authorities led to the ar
rest of the McMahons.
Both Patrick Mcmahon and Lam b

PORTLAND POLICE WANT
EARL HlGLEY ON FOUR
CHARGES OF BURGLARY

PORTLAND, Oct. 27.-Earl Higley,
according to the police of this city, is
wanted here in connection with four
burglaries. The last of these for which
a warrant was issued against Higley
was in connection with robbery on
Portland Heights, October Is, when
he, in company with another boy, sup
posed to be Emery Raboin, is charged
with having bound and gagged SER
want girl, after securing entrance to
the premises on pretense that they
were relatives of the family.
The detectives are unable to ex-
plain how the pair was able to make
so quick and so long a jump as from
here to Los Angeles in the brief period
since this robbery was committed, as
they were supposed to be without
funds.
The officers state Higley picked up
Raboin in Seattle on a recent trip to
that place. Higley's mother is hard
working woman. He is about IS years
old.

Two Mysterious Murders Are to Be
Investigated by Detectives of

NEW YORK, Oct. 27-Frederick
Gebhardt, alias Mueller, self-confessed
Islip, L. l., murderer. may have a
claim of the title "Bluebeard," ac-
cording to a statement made tonight
by Captain Coughlin of the Brooklyn
detective force.
Two other mysterious murders OF
women will be investigated before the
prisoner is put on trial, and IN view
Of his uncertain matrimonial career,
the police believe two, and possible
three additional cases where women
mysteriously disappeared Will De
cleared up.
1t was reported today that the pris-
oner confessed to the conorer that he
killed two other women, but this has
not been confirmed,
Captain Coughlin said:
"Gebhardt has admitted enough to
put several clues at our command, and
we hope to get further admissions
from him as soon as we have followed
these clues up"
According to the police, Gebhardt
served nine years in Sing Sing for
swindling a New York woman out OF
$340 on a promise of marriage.
He went to prison under the name
of Schaerferlein in 1896, and was re-
leased in 1905. AT the time of his trial
for this offense it was shown he al
ready had a wife in New York and at
least one wife in Germany
The prisoner is said to have operated
under six aliases, while other mar
raiges as yet not proved absolutely
figure in his record. His career, par
ticularly since his release from prison,
is being looked into by detectives.

BOATS UNABLE
TO TRAVEL AS
TAFT PLANNED
RIVER CRAFT FALL BEHIND
SCHEDULE
PRESIDENT REACHES MEMPHIS
THREE HOURS LATE
Southerners Extend Great Greeting to
Chief Executive Will Arrive
at Vlcksburg Late This
Afternoon
[By Associated Press.l

TT ELENA, Ark, Oct. 27.-President
Tafts river schedule went all to
= pieces today because of the in
ability of the vessels following his
flagship, the Oleander, to maintain the
designated speed.
The president tried to remain with
the fleet so far as possible and de-
layed his arrival in Memphis three
hours today in order that the boat
carrying the twenty-six governors and
the III congressman, as well as other
vessels carrying delegates to the wa
terways convention in New Orleans,
might land at the same time.
Leaving Memphis an hour and a
half late this afternoon, the Oleander
had to press forward at top speed in
order to reach here at p. M, two
hours behind the scheduled time.
Leaving here nearly three hours late
tonight, the president will not reach
Vicksburg until o'clock or later to-
morrow night, that being his next
stop. Even to make that city at p.
M, the president will have to leave the
other vessels behind.
His Boat Late
1t has been intended that the presi-
dent should be welcomed once more
to Arkansas by Governor Donaghey
but the governors boat was an hour
behind the president and the introduce
tory speech was made by Mayor Mar
tin.
Mr.. Taft received a noisy welcome
in Memphis. AS his boat drew up to
the levee, the place was black with
people. The roofs of the tall buildings
fronting the river also were crowded.
The delay of the arrival caused MUCH
confusion however, and two of the
presidents cabinet ministers came near
getting left on the return from the
auditorium, the automobile plan hav-
ing gone all awry in the confusion
of so many distinguished guests land
ing in the city at the same time
The president in an address at Mem
phis declared that such commercial
advantages as the Mississippi river al
ready afforded were not fully used.
He also pointed out the hard work that
would have to be done to start a sys-
tenn of commerce, even after the deep
waterway is secured.
Still Very Hoarse
The president is still very hoarse,
and it was with great effort that he
suoke.
The trip down the river, according
to the president, has demonstrated the
inadequacy of present river traffic to
compete with the railroads and is good
argument for deep waterways.
Some will say" he added, that the
trip is merely free junket; but those
who know understand that the time
of the men who are making the trip
is too valuable and they could not af-
ford to spend it except to impress upon
the country what is one of the most
important issues of the time.
Congress has the power to improve
the riverways They have spent much
money, but have not entered into gem
eral plans. We all realize that If we
do anything effectively and econom-
ically it must be a general plan.
"If it is proven practical, 1 believe
it ought to be done, and done quickly.
We ought to treat it like we have
treated the Panama canal issue, but
not in piecemeal. Let US center on a
general plan and issue bonds"
