The final report on the accounts Of
Ortis Hamilton, while adjutant general
of Washington, show that he is short
37,6o2.47. He involved the Red
Cross fund, in his care, to the amount
of 1854. Hamilton has already been
found guilty OF embezzlement and SEN
fenced to serve from one to fourteen
years in the Walla Walla penitentiary.
Friends are circulating petition for
his release. The same report shows
that other officers in the state militia
overdrew their accounts for amounts
approximating several thousand dollars.

When the thirteenth census is COM
pleted Washington will have three
cities in the hundred thousand class.
In 1900 it had none. At that time
there were thirty-eight cities in the
United States having more than 100,-
900 population. Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania boosted four. New York, New
Jersey, Massachutts and Missouri had
three each. Illinois and Indiana had
one apiece, while the state Of Iowa had
none. With Seattle, Spokane and Ia
coma all in the one hundred thousand
class, Washington will rank with the
first half dozen states in the matter of
urban population.

Andrew Lett scholarships will be Of
fered by the University of Washington
and Whitman college as the result Of
an endowment provided by Judge
Thomas Burke of Seattle. In the early
days Lett was logger. On one occa-
sion he was in trouble, and Judge
Burke, then a young, struggling law
yer, helped him out. So grateful was
he for this assistance that he be-
queathed $4,000, his whole fortune, to
Judge Burke, when he died recently.
Judge Burke is not in need of the
money. In order that ii may be made
to do good, he decided to share it be-
tween the two schools for the benefit Of
worthy students.

Railroads have adopted the view
that freight rates are creatures Of the
law. Their former contention was that
tariffs were subject to contract between
the carrier and shipper. The new con-
ception was pronounced by the Great
Northern recently before the supreme
court of Washington, in taking an ap-
peal from judgment won by Sno-
homish county logging company.
Damages had been awarded on the
plea of breach of contract involving
rates. To resist this charge the rail-
way adopted the arguments formerly
used only by the advocates of regula-
ton. Unless this view is sustained
now the railway attorneys declare that
all rate legislation must fail.

SAYS CHRIST IS
 SON OF GOD
(Continued From Page One.)

God that Jesus Christ has stood the tests of all criticism that has been brought to bear on his life and teach ings, as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
 Mir. Violet made comparison be- tween Alexander the Great, son of Philip Macedon, and Jesus Christ, stating that Alexander the Great claimed that he was the Son of God, going through the lands and conquer ing large armies, so that he might get power, and taking over on his side Kings, Queens and rich pen. Dy- ing at the age of thirty-three years he was placed in a golden coffin which was taken to the city of Alex andria and buried there. Three hum dred years after the death of Alexan- der the Great a man came to earth, who claimed also to be the son of God. This man was Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who started at the age of thirty years, while Alexander started at the age of twenty. Jesus did not seek to conquer the world by con- quest or power, but sought out twelve poor fishermen of Palestine, one proving traitor to him, dying at the 9ge of ttirty-three and instead of be- ing buried in a golden coffin was bur ied borrowed tomb. Each man started cut claiming to be the son of God and each dying at the age of th:r- ty-thr.s. The coffin of Alexand CT the Great, still being in the City ot Alexanoria while all that remains oi Jesus burial place is the empty tomb"
 He illustrated how a Roman guard or sixty soldiers were placed at the tCmb of Jesus Christ and how weak their test: mony before jury of to1ay would be, showing that it would have been absolutely impossible for the soldiers to have slept on duty and ds clare that the disciples came and stole the hooy while they slept.
 Mt. Vic]ett gave in his sermon ter good reasons for believing Jes l: Christ to re the son of God. 2 wife a mother, father. a sister all, three brot. tls, being seven good r;a sons, and having three brothers, wht have crossed the dark valley of death that being ten of his reasons for be lieving in Christ.
 Announcement was made that th' Bible Study would be held in the ten Sunday morning at 9:45 o'clock.

TWO GREATEST SLUGGERS,
Wagner and Lajoie Have Batting Rec
ords That viii Probably Never Be
Surpassed.

Four records of individual merit have
been placed on the pages of baseball
history by players of the present day
that bid fair to remain for all time and
never suffer effacement by the Supe-
rior work of other players. The fourth
of these records was turned recently
when Cy Young. the veteran Cleveland
pitcher, rounded out his 500th victory,
a mark he has since increased to 504

eWson, the famous New York pitcher.
all in the service of that club, and the
phenomenal batting averages of Hans
Wagner, the Pittsburg shortstop and
Napoleon Lajoie, the Cleveland second
baseman, during their major league
careers, furnish the other three events
Of renown
1t is SO difficult in these days to hang
UP big batting figures and the life Of
the player is SO short that their work
is not likely ever to be disturbed. La
joie has been in the big leagues a year
longer than his Pittsburg rival, but on
their entire careers Wagner is the bet
ter average batter. In thirteen years
of playing. from 1897 up to and includ-
ing 1909, Wagner never fell below that
aim of all batters. the 800 percentage
mark. In fact, except for year, when
he fell to 800, in his second year in
the league, this phenomenal sIugger
has never finished below 500. His bat
ting percentage for thirteen years is
the wonderful figure of .S47 3-13.
Lajoie came into the National league
a year earlier than Wagner and though
he has fallen below 800. this in recent
years, he batted hard enough in other
years to bring his figures UP to 344
lila. His drop out of the charmed
800 circle came in 1907 and 1908. the
two years in which he was burdened
with managerial cares of a losing
team. Strangely enough. both of the
great batters have played in but two
cities during their big league careers
Lajoie started with the Phila delphia
club in 1895 and stayed there until he
joined the Athletics of the American
league also a Philadelphia club. during
the war From Philadelphia he was
forced to Cleveland by the injunction
suits entered by the Phillies. Thus
Lajoie has played in only Philadelphia
and Cleveland.
Wagner began his career with Louis
villa in 1897, and when the Louisville
club was consolidated with Pittsburg
a couple Of years later. he went with
Barney Dreyfuss to the latter city,
where he still remains.
The batting averages Of these great
players during their careers are as

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL,
NOTE OF CONSERVATISM.
Develops in Stock Market Circles
Changed Attitude of Speculation.

New York. Oct. without any es-
sential change in the views entertain
ed in stock market circles Of the pros
poets for values, there developed today
a note of conservatism in pursuing OPP
erations on the long side of the mar
ket
The motives for the changed atti-
tude of the speculation We're found
largely in technical considerations. AS
stated by operators themselves, these
were the belief that the advance was
in danger of overrunninS the rate of
the Improvement discerned in financial
and business affairs, the extent to
which the speculative interest on the
long side was being built up and the
accompanying reduction in the short
interest. The evidence that stock was
being supplied on advances gave force
10 this view. The sources of supply
of these offerings. beyond the traders
who had accumulated holdings at low
err prices, We're supposed to be the more
important banking and financial inter-
ests which took over stocks in the lat
ter part of July rescue measure.
The purpose OF those takings was
aVowed at the time to save the ma rket
from demoraliza tion and not from any
design for permanent holding. 1t is
believed that diffusion of these hold
ings has been going on by gradual
process. The fact that the market has
been able TO absorb such offerings
amounts to q demonstration of it's i'm
proved tone. Strength In the coppers,
electricals and Haw1ey stocks sustain
ed the later market today.
The reactionary tone was connect
ed with further consideration of one or
two factors that seemed TO be ignored
yesterday. such as the weaker bank
position and the cut in prices of pipe,
both of which were known yesterday.

BENZ ENTRIES REFUSED.
Cars of This Company Barred from
Grand Prix-Criticism of Vanderbilt
Race the Cause.

New York. Oct Am announcement
of interest to automobile racing en-
thusiasts was made tonight. The en-
try of three Benz cars in the Grand
Prize race to be run over the Wander
bilt cup course on Oct. Is has been re-
jected by the Motor Cups Holding COM
pany. This action was made known
in a letter sent by w K. Vanderbilt
Jr., president of the company, to Jesse
Froelich, the Benz representative. re-
turning the entrance fees of the COM
pany.
The letter says:
In view of the letter sent to our
manager, Mr.. Pardington. and stimuli
taneously published in the papers, and
the criticism you make of the manage
ment of the race. which We consider to
be absolutely uncalled for and unwar-
ranted, we do not think it wise that
the cars under your management
should compete"
Froelichs letter which called forth
this reply sharply criticised the polio
ing Of the course at the Vanderbilt cup
race and declared that unless he wal
assured the course would be adequate
" guarded the Benz entries would be
withdrawn from the Grand Prize. It
also urged contestants to cooperate
in an effort to send the contest to Sa-
vannah, where it would be managed
strictly for the sport and not to see
how successful the race can be made
financially"

Athletics Favorites With Local Fans
Majority Pick Macks Men For Worlds Champions
80 Hits in Giants Boston Game-St. Louis Recruit
Pitcher Beats Pittsburg.

, All possible lines of dope on the
coming worlds series are being fol-
lowed up now by the fans of the ma
tional game and there is naturally
stronger local interest in the series
than ever from the fact that Danny
Murphy OF this city will play right
field for the Philadelphia Americans
and is looked for to play an important
part with his batting, which has top
ped the 800 mark this season.
From the expressions of a few of
the Norwich fans, it can be seen that
there is a strong feeling that the Ath-
letics are the boys to trim the Cubs.
But at that, the Chicago Nationals
are said to have a large Norwich
following which has even been willing
that has been done
Here are some expressions on the
series by well known Norwich pat
rons of the national game:
Captain Linton, Norwich police de-
partment-The man who picks the
Athletics to win has another guess
coming.
Umpire Luke Riley-The teams are
so evenly matched that baseball luck
will Lay large part. The one that
gets the first game ought to win the
series, and l should not be surprised
~ see the Athletics take the cham
pionship.
Jack Barry, old Roath street Star
catcher: The Cubs for the worlds
championship. Connie Macks men may
know some baseball. but Chance can
teach them something, at that.
Charles H. whaley-Watch me. I'm
picking the Athletics, and l picked the
Boston Americans to beat Pittsburg in
1908
Umpire John B. Benoit-Tve always
been an Athletics man and [ think
they viii beat the Cubs. The Phila-
delphia pitchers will do the trick and
the batting of the team will send in
the runs. As for fielding, the Ath-
let6cs win be as good as the Cubs.
J. J. c. Stone. 1910 manager of the
Norwich team: Without doubt Connie
Mack has the greatest pitching staff
ever assembled, and the rest of the
team looks good enough to beat out the
CUBS. Philadelphia will come to the
series in much better shape than De-
troit ever was. for they have had no
nerve wracking race right up to the
last minute as Detroit had in order to
Win the American league pennant.
George Dolan, old Laurel Hill second
baseman: Past experience and their
wonderful inside baseball gives the
Cubs a big advantage and will bring
home the flag for them.
d. J. Morrissey a former manager
of Norwich baseball teams-With Ev-
ers out of it, it looks as if the Ath-
letics had the best show now.
Ed Ritchie-The Cubs will win
hands down. They have it on the Ath-
letics any way you want to look at it.
George P. Madden. former Norwich
baseball ma gnate-The Athletics look
pretty good to me for the worlds
champion ship
J. A. Farrell, State hospital team

time, and the State hospital boys have
the money to back what they say.
