LAJO|E AND COBB
TO FIGHT IT OUT
Two Stars Are Now Leaving
Other Heavy liitters Ear
Behind.

NEW YORK. Sept. 26.--It has mar
rowed down to almost an absolute
certainty that Larry Lajoie and Tyrus
Cobb will fight ii out In the ffnal
games in the American League for
the major league batting hanors and
the auto.
With the big Nap second sacker
having only five point margin over
his Tiger rival at the present time,
and with Iris Speaker, their nearest
competitor. 20 points behind the lat
ter, the struggle now takes the shape
of d duel in the stretch between the
two leaders.
Snodgrass has proven a consistent
tumbler since the one time he held
the exalted position at the top of the
list, and a percentage of over 400
has kept dwiudling until Ii is now
emily .32S.
Speakers Consistent Work.
Speaker has kept up the same
steady pace with the stick during
the past week that mas characterized
his work all season, dropping Just
single point. His average from week
to week practically since the star.
of the campaign1 has not varied ten
points one way or the other
Laioie picked up seven points and
Cobb three during the past week. but
the Cteyeiander has played in all the
games In which his team has partici-
pated, while Cobb has been in but one
or two full contests since he was
forced DOT on account Of trouble with
his eyes more than two weeks ago.
Cobb will have IL brace up at once
In order TO beat out I.ajoie, as the
Cleveland team has Yet four
teen games to play, while De-
troit has only eleven. Of course. either
may have a big slump. bur it looks
as If 1t would require the finai game
in which each takes part to decide
the winner.

Question, Seems to Lean to State

sentatives of the press from all over
the country were early arrivals and
were assigned to places at the long
tables inst In front of the speaking
platform.
Plenty of Decorations.
The interior of the Auditorium was
decorated with groups of flags and
numerous large likenesses of President
Taft, with the er-present smile. The
speaking platform near the Fourth
street end of the stage, was very simply
decorated with flags and bunting
James j. Hill and Senator Knute
Nelson were applauded when they en-
| tered, Mr., Hill first sat in front of the
auditorium but later was escorted to
the stage. Senator Knute Nelson, when
going upon the stage was given ripple
of applause. Archbishop John Ireland
was recognized by hundreds or more as
and Senator Nelson conversed for
few moments. Every member of the
Pinchot Ballinger investigation com
mittee took seats on the stage, their
| identity being well known to a large
part of the audience.
Sutherland Attends
Before President Taft arrived there
was a brief period of general handshak-
| ing on the platform. One interesting
group consisted of Archbishop Ireland,
Senator Knute Nelson. Governor Hay of
Washington, Governor Norris Of Mon
| tana, and Senator Sutherland of Utah
Taft was greeted with cheering as
| he entered the building and went up
on the platform.
B. n. Baker, president Of the con-
gress, called the initial session to order.
1 Archbishop John Ireland gave the lnvo-
cation, Mr.. Baker then introduced

governor referred to President Taft
the crowd made another slight demon
stration, lasting not over thirty Sec
onds
Before Governor Eberhart was intro.
duced the audience was one solid mass
of interested humanity. Every seat was
taken, every aisle crowded and the
crowd extended through the lobby into
the street. When the governor re-
ferred to President Taft as one of their
greatest conservationists, the president
was given applause Of perhaps ten sec
onds' duration. Theodore Roosevelt,
when mentioned, was cheered six sec
onds, while James ]. Hill was the third
conservationist mentioned, and also re-
ceived applause.
President Taft was given an ovation
lasting thirteen seconds when he wns
introduced by President Baker, though
it was apparent that the applause was
reserved and not wholly spontaneous.

Sensational Scene at Close of
RoOsevelt's Labor Day Speech
Before Big Crowd.
FORMER PRESIDENT NOT
SLOW TO PROTECT HIMSELF
GrappleS With Opponent and
Holds Him Until Others
Take Him Away.

FARGO, N. D. Sept. 5.-A man who
fought his way to exPresident Roose-
welt and called him a liar gave a bad
scare today TO the crowd at Island park
IN this city. Colonel Roo.evelt helped
to eject him from the platform.
The colonel had Just finished his La.
Dor day address, which was delivered
to one of the largest crowds he has met
on his western trin, A heavy rainstorm
which came up shortly before the colo
mel began to speak, drcnched the peo.
pie, but most of them sat through the
afternoon in their wet clothes to hear
him,
As he spoke the last sentence of his
speech, the crowd cheered, and then
there was a rush for the speaker IS
stand by thousands who sought to get
near enough to see the colonel at short
range and shake his hand.
Enter the Intruder.
Those on the platform pressed around
the stand, and in a moment it was
closed in by surging and struggling
mass Of men and women, Some of the
bolder persons ia the crowd mounted
the steps that led to the speaker s
stand, rushed to Colonel Roosevelt 's
side small poorly dressed man
pushed has way through the mass of
people until he could make himself
heard by the colonel, He wore a bat
tered hat and was unshaven.
"I have n question to ask you, Colo
ncl Roosevelt - he shouted
The men and women on the stand
grew silent: Colonel Roosevelt turned
and faced him Waving one arm, tho
man shouted:

expenses of this trip of yours about
the country.
Tic question angered Colonel Roose
Welt. and his face showed it. He ad
vanced n step toward his interrogation
and shot back his answer.
CT consider that to be an imperti.
nent question: he said
''However, / have no objection to
telling you.
He added that the expenses of the
party were being paid by the magazine
of which he is ono of the editors.
Given the Lie Direct.
"You lie, - the man shouted so loud
~ that hundreds of persons in the
crowd could hear him. As lie spoke
the words, Colonel Roosevelt stepped
forward quickly and seized his arm

later that he did not know who tho man
was or what his intentions were and
that he had taken hold Of his arm rs

from finishing what he had to say

welt outlined his belief as to what
should be done for the benefit of the
Iaboriug classes Of America. Speaking
at the Labor day celebration at Island
park, no emphasized his doctrines as
follows:
"Our ideal should be a rate OF wages
sufficient to enable workmen to live in
manner conformable to American
ideals and standards; to educate their
children and to provide for sickness
and old age; the abolition of child la
Dor; safety device legislation to pre-
vent industrial accidents and auto
matte compensation for losses caused by
these industrial accidents
Eight Hours Enough.
Colonel Roosevelt also declared for
a work day Of not more than eight
hours; release from employment one
shop system; sanitary inspection of
factory, workshop, mine and home
Fairgrounds for all children and free
schools. free text books and compul-
sory education,
The colonel said labor unions were 4
necessity of modern life, and that they
should guard against unwise leadership.
The working man, he said, should be
protected by law from the greed and
carelessness of unscrupulous employers,
lust as outside of working hours both
employer and employees are protected
by law in their lives and pro-erty
against the murderer and the thief, To
accomplish this, Colonel Roosevelt said,
national and state laws should be
passed.
Colonel Rooscvclt's sncech was as
follows:

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS ARE
DEMORALIZED BY EX-
POSURES.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 23.-A1l the am
munition that the Democratic party of
the State of New York has for twenty
years been firing at the Republican en-
envy could not have wrought such havoc
as the explosion of the buried mines
With nthe G. O. P itself, has caused
during the last twenty days. The one
person who has escaped without
scratch is Governor Hughes. Not a
State boss, legislative leader or job
hunting camp follower has escaped,
with the possible exception of former
Governors Odell and Black and their
followers. All the other local organiza-
tons have been shot to pieces by the
scandals which have brought about
these results:
First: The humiliation of Lieutenant
Governor Horace White by the expos
ure of the Syracuse insurance scandal
and his efacement as the possible Sue
cessor of Govern orHughes.
Second: The enforced retirement of
Herbert Parsons as chairman of the
New York county committee as an al
legged consequence of the sugar trust
scandals.
Third: The direct accusation made by
State Senator Ben Conger that Senator
lothian P. Aids, the president pro TEN
of the Senate, had accepted a bride
while both were members of the Assem-
bly,, which is to be investigated next
week.
Fourth: The virtual surrender of the
more influential of the State bosses to
the reform programme of Governor
Hughes.
Fifth: The reputation of State
Chairman Woodruff by both legislative
and political leaders, which foreshad-
ows his retirement as State Boss.
Sixth: The hostile declaration OF
Governor Hughes and the legislative
leaders against the income tax policy of
the Taft administration.
It is difficult to estimate properly the
exact relative Importance of these
events or to predict the ultimate results
of each. That there will be wholesale
house cleaning not only of the Legisla-
ture, but of the Republican State ma
chine there is not the slightest doubt

WARNING For Aviasors.

Professor A. Lawrence Roteh of Blue

or w. T. Sedgewick recently pointed
out that blindness is one of the great
est perils faced by aviators. The lat
ter said:
Although I do not know the condi-
ton Of the upper air from personal ex-
perience, l think it is evident that IL
this thin atmosphere is what the men
who ought to know declare it to be
the human eye will suffer from the
strengthened rays Of the sun. When
an aviator is above the clouds their
upper surfaces throw back the light
