Call for Aid n Hoax.

Newport, R. l., Oct. 24.-Every
wireless equipped steamer within range
today is searching for the tank steamer
Oklahoma, which last night supposed
" signalled for aid, but neglected to
give her position. Failure to find her
caused some to think the call false, and
gave others serious anxiety. From
here to the Nantucket Shoals lightship
the revenue cutter Acushnet has made
q search without avail, and all this coast
has been cross-crossed from wireless
station to station in the hope OF locat-
ing the ship, but without success.
The call for help was first heard by
the Acushnet when she was near
Woods Hole, but communication was
broken in minute and the revenue
cutter repeated the word all up and
down the coast, putting to sea herself
in the search.
The Oklahoma, Captain Gunter, is a
steel screw steamship of 3,795 tons.
built at Camden, N. j., in 1908, and
owned by the ]. NJ. Guffey Petroleum
Company. Its sailing port is Port Ar
thur. 1t is 419 feet long and IS feet
in breadth.
In the absence OF any further work
up to noon, direct or indirect from the
Oklahoma, the authorities OF the naval
wireless station here who were in com,
munication with stations all up and
down the coast, declared their belief
that the call for aid was hoax. Oh
the ships communicated with, none
had seen or heard of the Oklahoma
being in trouble.
Newport, R. l., Oct. 24.-The swire'
less dispatch picked up last night re-
porting the oil tanker Oklahoma sink
ing off the coast was a fake. The
revenue cutter Acushnet picked up the
Oklahoma this afternoon and received
report that she was all right, south,
ward bound to Port Arthur, Tex, and
had sent no wireless for help.

THE long expected break between the
United States Steel Corporation and the
iobbers who have handled its output is
recognized in the recent decision OF the
trust to open warehouses in New York,
Pittsburg and other important centers.
Now the jobbers are said to be planning
an independent steel plant at Cleveland
to supply their houses. The trust has
withdrawn all price concessions 10 the
iobbers, and sent agents throughout
the west and south to solicit warehouse
orders direct. The various trusts are
we'll entrenched in this country now
and it will take drastic measures to dis
lodge them.

BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP.

In Chicago on Saturday evening the
Cubs defeated the Athletics in the
fourth game of the worlds champion
ship baseball series, to 8, in sensa-
tional finish.
The Philadelphia Athletics are cham
pions OF the world. They won that
title in Chicago Saturday afternoon by

The largest crowd that has ever at

confronting even such heroes as the
Philadelphia Athletics, to say nothing
OF the Chicago Cubs with winter conf

money amounts to S79,071.93. OF this
60 per cent, or s47, 443.15, goes to the

Lord Chief Justice Alverstone today
definitely fixed the date for the hang

preparing for their appeal to the Court
OF Criminal Appeals, although it is ad,

chance that this body will interfere
with the decision of the lower court.
Crippen had recovered his composure
today and continued to protest his in,

that he was more interested in getting
his rights than in listening to priest.

would be acquitted, thus necessitatine
her own release. When she received
the word that Crippen had been con.

tainted and it was some time before the
prison doctor could restore her to con
seriousness. She is now apprehensive
of the outcome of her own trial on a
charge of accessory after the fact, which
will begin tomorrow.
So far as the scope of the appeal is
concerned Attorney Newton said today
that it was uncertain. He cannot de-

his client and he today asked the au

Miss Viola Poole, aged eighteen
years, formerly of Fauquier county,
died in Baltimore last night in St.
Luke's Hospital, after being shot twice
through the abdomen by her uncle,
Peyton E. Poole, who insisted that his

covering Poole was taken to jail. In
