room and took a nap. Three hours latel

his wife had committed suicide by cut
ting her throat.
The coroner's jury at the morgue yes,

Baker at first said that he had not had
"a fight with his wife, but after repeated
questioning by Detective Cox he broke
down and confessed to strangling her.
According to the story told by Baker
he and his wife had quarreled earlier In
the evening and the fight was continued
when it came time to go to bed. Mrs.
Baker refused to sleep IN the same room
with her husband and went to sleep on a
couch on the first floor, while Baker went
upstairs to his room. Securing q razor, he
went down stairs to where his wife was
sleeping and ran at her with the razor
open. His wife heard him and Jumped
to her feet. A struggle ensued. in which
he lost the razor. Then he threw her to
the couch and choked her

While the members of the Washington
Florists Club. with their guests from the
Baltimore club, were enjoying their an
nual outing at Huntsville, Nd, last
evening, William F. GUIDE, a leading
spirit in the association. was trying to
start his electric runabout, which had

The batteries of the car breathed their

the conservative statement of Mr.. Guide
He was stalled for about half an hour,

only a little less than a mile from the fes-

Mr.. Stutler, as his big touring car near

REMINGTON TYPEWRITER co.
Exhibit Their Adding and Sub
tracing Typewriter.


tracing Typewriter.
A notable feature of the government ex-
hibit of labor-saving ofice devices is the
very interesting series of demonstrations
of the Remington adding and subtract
ing typewriter Cwahl adding mechanism,
which demonstrations are the Reming-
ton contributions to the exhibit.
The Remington demonstrators are GER
tainly putting their adding and subtract
ing typewriter through its PAGES in
splendid style. With this machine they
do all kinds of work in which writing
and adding, or writing, adding, and sub
tracing. are done on the same page.
Starting with simple forms Of bills, they
progress until they are turning out the
most intricate forms Of tabulated, statis-
teal statements.
When it is understood that this Rem
ington writes and adds or writes and
subtracts in one operation Just as quickly
and Just as easily as an ordinary Rem
ington does writing alone, it is easy to
realize what a tremendous saving Of
beth time and labor this machine can
effect in many forms of clerical and ac-
counting work. The Remington men call
this adding and subtracting typewriter
CT theirs 'the machine which gives brain
service at machine cost" and we'll does
it fulfill this description.
These Remington demonstrations are
proving a decided drawing card, and the
Remington stan have made ample prep
arations to welcome many visitors on
Wednesday, that being the last day the
exhibit will be open to the general
public.
The Washington herald., 1911-07-13

A large audience OF government en-
ployes, chiefly from the Washington
Navy Yard, listened to addresses on
time and labor saving devices yester-
day afternoon at the exhibit held under
the auspices Of the government bureau
on economy and efficiency, at the Union
Building.
w. M. Montgomery, of Philadelphia,
spoke on the handling and filing of
correspondence for more than half an
hour. After the lecture his hearers en-
gagged in a general discussion of differ
ent angles of the subject. B. A. Cooney,
secretary of the National Machine Re-
corder Company, spoke on shop eff
cheney.
An exhibit that is attracting attention
on the first floor of the building is the
fast mail envelope sealer, manufactured
by the Mayo Manufacturing Company,
Of Portland, Me. This remarkable ma
chine is a great labor saver, for the rea-
son that it seals 400 to 800 envelopes per
minute. The motive power is furnished
by q little electric motor, and the ma
chine feeds automatically, so that there
is no work whatever involved in its
operation. 1t is a simple machine, and
every part can be seen at work.
The Boorum & Pease Loose-leaf Book
Company, which recently bought out and
combined with the Sieber & Trussel Man
ufacturing Company, has on display at
booth 66 1-2, on the second floor, a COM
plete line of loose-leaf devices and sup
plies. This firm, which has offices at
New York City and ST. Louis, Mo-, has
been established for many years. They
are known for the high quality Of the
goods that they manufacture and sell
and have large business.
New Time Machine Shown.
A small, inexpensive, but useful device,
is the liner elapsed-time calculator,
manufactured by the Liner Elapsed-time
Calculator Company, II Battery place,
New York City, and displayed under the
supervision Of Martin Cats, on the sec
ond floor. This calculator is specially for
use in factories and from it may be seen
at a glance starting time, finishing time,
elapsed time, and its money equivalent.
Its makers claim that it is not only the
most inexpensive but the most complete
device Of the kind on the market. Cats
Is kept busy giving demonstrations and
explaining the operation of his calculator.
Another attractive exhibit on the second
floor of the building is that of the Proud
fit Looseleaf Company, of Grand Rapids,
Mich, which shows a complete line of the
weIl-known "Proudf1t'' loose-leaf ledgers
for use in the bookkeeping department Of
any business: The Proudfit people are
featuring their lever lock binders and
transfers, which provide practically all
the advantages of the key-locking device

GIANTS PITCHING STRENGTH EXCEEDS ATHLETICS
Bender and Coombs Are
Shaded by Giant Pair.

than Jack Coombs, provided the Rube Is
in form.
The one man who gave Mack's people
the hardest fight and the bulk of trouble
through the waning campaign now
drifting by was Vean Gregg, the star
left-hander of the Cleveland Maps.
Gregg stopped Mack's club effectively
more than once. Maruuard is much
along Gregg's type. He has even more
smoke thar the Cleveland marvel and
as great a break to his fast curve.
Coombs has had a season Of in and
out pi~tching-good in streaks and only
saved at other times by rugged batting
or his clean support. At his best
Coombs is far from having Marquard's
classic assortment of shoots and speed.
He has draWn more experience and
may be q tri1e steadier under fire, but
the Giant southpaw has supreme con-
fldence i'm his ability to beat Mack's
club and this will mean a lot.
Ames will rank upon a par with
Plank, for Ames, like Mathewson, is at
his best upon a cool day in the fall.
In having two slabmen ready for the
9tA H0l l"A1 AA9NAi tAiia WI - toh
there can be no question but that Nc
Graw carries a big advantage ove
his keen-eyed, acknowledged rival. In
a short series of seven games, and
possibly only five or six, two pitchers
a do practically all the work..
Between Bender and Coombs the
Giant machine fears the Indian more.
Bender will be faced with great re-
spect. The indian when right has
great speed and an effective jump
which is hard to massage with a war
club. He shut out the Giants in 1905
and then lost to Matty. Another
meeting between this famed pair will
add deeper interest to the proceedings.
In the pitching department McGraw
has the shade and enough edge to off
set Athletic prowess in other depart
ments.

Matty Best al World
Series Time.

Two slabmen from each worlds series
camp will bear the bulk of the burden
when the Giants and Athletics come
head-on in October.
M%athewson and RUDE Marquard, of
McGraw's legion, will fight it out
against Chief Bender and Jack Coombs.
McGraw will hold Rec Ames in re-
serve. while Mack will call on Ed Plank
in case a third man is needed.
1t is on the firing line that the great
er part Of the battle will settle, so the
comparison here is worth closer atten-
ton than any other factor of the fight.
There is no question but that McGraw
expects to win this series with his great
right handler and his equally re-
nowned southpaw. Nor is there any
question but that Connie Mack fears
this pair more than -.ty other factor
of Giant play.
Mathewson is always at his best in
the closing stages of the fight. He
reaches his greatest height in a post
season clash. He has been looking bet
ter each passing week for a month n
by mid-October expects to be every
whit as good as he was in 1905. Bender
at his best is one of the great pitchers
of the game. The Indian has a world
of speed ind one of the fastest Jumps
in the business to his Smoke ball.
But the Carlisle star is no Mathew
son. He lacks the steadiness and de-
pendability of Mathewson.
Mathewson also has this In reserve
the knowledge that in twenty-seven
rounds not a Philadelphia has crossed
the plate against his famed fadeaway
and perfect control. He will face a
harder hitting team than he did then
a younger and faster one, but when
Mathewson is right there is only one
answer
Mathewson has the edge on Bender,
and Vanguard Is a much better pitcher

Danish Belle, entered In this GLASS, are

if the owner OF In-for-Luck is allowed
to place him where he sees fit, one or

sequence. The only horses that nave a
