the float were courteous IN ansWerl,-s
questions, but when it came to the
point of giving news they referred
everyone to the officer of the deck on
board the battleship.
On board the flagship Louisiana,
Rear Admiral Vreeland convened a
court of inquiry to determine the exact
cause of the accident and place the re-
sponsibility. A number of the men
who were on board the i'll fated boat
told their stories.
A report of the findings of the court
will be forwarded to the navy depart
ment. Whether Midshipman Cheva-
lier. who was in charge of the barge.
testified was not learned. Neither
could it be ascertained whether Chew
alier was in the ships hospital, where
he was taken in a delirious condition
after the accident.
Versions of the Accident.
Various versions of how the accident
occurred were in circulation. The gen.
orally accepted one, however, was that
the barge. heavily loaded with sailors
and marines, returning from shore
leave, was towed into the heavy swei,s
of a passing steamboat. Rising for a
moment like a cork, the barge then
plunged into the trough between two
waves, one of which broke over the
side and swamped it.
Instantly the choppy water became
dotted with struggling, shouting men,
intermingled with floating packages,
suit cases and personal belongings.
The whistling of the little steam
launch that was towing the barge rent
the air with sharp, staccato calls for
assistance.
Few boats were in the vicinity, how
ever, for the river was running high
in white caps, kicked up by the strong
wind. What few there were put quick
ly across the 200 yards that separated
the distressed craft and the shore.
Many of the sailors and marines We're
pulled aboard these boats; others held
| tightly to the swamped barge. Still
| others, unequal to the battle with the
| heavy waves and tides, floated up
stream and disappeared.

First Game OF Championship
Series at Philadelphia.
Date for the Opening Fixed for
October IL.
TALK OF MORE GAMES
Will Arrange Other Contests
Between Big League Teams.
Third League Is to Receive
Some Attention.

Cincinnati, Oct. 3.@The national
baseball commission met here this
morning to undertake final arrange
ment for the worlds championship
series between the Chicago National
league champions and the Athletics
of Philadelphia, winners of the PEN
nant in the American league.
The commission decided the first
game of the world championship
series between the Philadelphia Amer
leans and Chicago Nationals should
be played in Philadelphia. The date
of the opening has not yet been de-
cided on.
The first game of the worlds base
ball series will be played in Philadel-
phia October II.
In addition, series may be arranged
for the Metropolitan championship be-
tween the American and National
teams of New York and for the Ohio
championship between the Cincinnati
antionai league and the Cleveland
Americans. There is a possibility thai
the commission will before adjourning
tomorrow take some notice of the re-
cent reports that a third major league
is in process of organization. d. A
Fletcher of this city who attempted
to promote a post-season series be
tween all star teams of the two big
leagues has announced he has obtained
signatures of 29 star players to con-
tracts with the proposed new organi-
zation.
copy of the contract offered tC
the players has reached the commits
sion and some pronouncement thereon
in the way of an official warning to
players listed under the national agree
ment may be forthcoming This mat
ter, however, is more or less subsidf-
ary to the post season contests between
the two leagues. Chief interest re-
garding the worlds series centers
about the choice of time and place
for the first game. With this decided
it is likely the second contest will take
place in the same city, the third and
fourth in the alternate town and sc
on until one of the teams has wor
four games and the title of baseball
championship of the world.

prairie towns has just been seen here.
Having voted to do $4,000 worth of
paving, is became necessary to float
$4,000 in bonds.
A sale on the general bond market
even at 6 per cent, did not look prornis-

quick sale. The council then ordered
the amount issued at 3 per cent and
offered them to local investors. In two
days the entire amount was subscribed,
no purchaser taking more than 81. 600.
The amount was awaiting investment
in unexpected places and several farm
ers were subscribers.
