CATCHER O'BR|EN
GIVEN RELEASE
cavanaugh Victorious In Battle With
New Man for Position Behind
Bat, Despite Heavy
Hitting.
Painter. Who Played With Boone
First Year In Iowa League,
VIII be Welcomed to Gen.
trail Association.

Manager Frank Belt today an
nounced the release of Catcher
O'Brien. who has been battling against
Cavanaugh foA the backstop position
since the season opened Belt has
been unable to place O'Brien, but it
Is not likely that the player will have
difficulty in securing new berth.
Fans watched the battle between
Cavanaugh and O'Brien with consider
able interest. 1t sifted down to
choice between the wonderful throw
ing and better work behind the bat of
Cavanaugh, or the superior hitting of
the new man-and the verdict went
to the former. O'Brien is one Of the
best hitting catchers the Central AS
sociation has had for several years,
and the club which picks him UP will
make no mistake
Cavanaugh has improved at least so
per cent over last season, and has
been hitting the bali harder than he
ever did before. Belt regards him as
the best backstop in the circuit, and
the vet should be the man to judge.
Cavanaugh has an arm second to
none and is steadily picking up the
inside game. At times this year Cav
anaugh has not looked so strong, cs-
pecially at Galesburg Friday, but in
these instances it was simply a blow
up among the younger players, or
failure in the signal system.

New First Baseman Signed.

Belt also announced today the sign
ing of new first baseman who will
report at the ball park this afternoon.
He is Painter, player familiar
among the older fans of Keokuk.
Painter played ball last season with
Winston-Salem in the Carolina Asso-
citation. He is an infielder and an
old head. Painter has been playing
third and short most of the time, but
is said to be able to cover the in
itial sack. He was with Boone the
first year of the old Iowa league
The signing of Painter does not
mean that Harper is to be released
Belt hopes to strengthen the first base
position and will carry the present
man until he is certain that he has.
And in the meantime Harper will be
used in the utility role

TAFT STARTS SLUMP.
His Detroit Speech Causes Heavy Sell
ing of U. S. Steel.

New York. Sept. 21.-The stock mar
ket was thrown into confusion today
by selling of United States Steel stocks
on an enormous scale. From almost
every part Of the country orders poured
in to sell stocks of the "billion dollar
combine
Confusion prevailed on the floor OF
the stock exchange as brokers strug-
gled with each other around the steel
post to dispose of their holdings. The
preferred stock slumped 51a points to
1851, its lowest point since 1908. Thu
common fell to 5912, loss of four
points its lowest record since 1909.
On September the preferred sold at
115 and the common at 20. During the
forenoon transactions in Steel stocks
exceeded yesterday total of 250,000
shares.
The long slump in United States Steel
is generally ascribed to the fear of
many investors that dissolution of the
corporation may be necessary to COM
ply with the government views in re-
gard to enforcement of the antitrust
law President Taft's speech on this
subject at Detroit on Monday increased
uneasiness on this score. Wall street
has heard reports during the last few
days that the great corporation would
dissolve voluntarily These reports,
however. are without any known basis
in fact.
IF I could say anything I would
willingly do So said Chairman Gary
of the corporations board. He de-
clfned to comment on the report that
wages of steel employees would be re-
duced-

Montreal, Sept. 21.-Dispatches from
all over the dominion indicate one of
the largest votes ever cast at a general
election In Canada. Workers for both
parties were early in the field and long
before the hour of the opening Of the
polls long lines of voters stood in line,
eager to cast their ballots for or
against reciprocity. This was particu-
larly true in Montreal, Toronto, Ham
ilton, ottawa. winnipeg. Halifax and
the larger cities.
The interest in the rural district was
not less keen than that in the center
of population, and it is upon the heavy
farmer vote that the government is
chiefly depending for success From
all points came the report that the
election was proceeding quietly and or
derly.
One of the closing incidents of the
campaign was the mobbing of Henri
Bourassa, leader of the Quebec ma
tionalists, at st. Hyacinthe, Que,
where he was billed to speak, last night
crowd of about 1000 persons waylaid
him on his arrival and pelted him with
stale eggs and stones, running his
clothes, but doing no other damage.
The incident is supposed to be in
retaliation for the hooting of Laurier
in Montreal by a crowd of Bourassa
sympathizers the night before. ST.
Hyacinthe is the district now repre-
parliament and it was shown to be
solid for the nationa1ists.
Montreal, Sept. 21-Canada is polling
today the heaviest vote in its history,
to register its decision as to whether
the government and reciprocity are to
be endorsed or defeated. In ali the ten
provinces polling booths were opened
at o'clock and will close at O'Clock
this afternoon. The Australian ballot
system prevails throughout the Domin-
an hour will be required for the count
ing of the votes, no result will be
known before O'Clock.
As many ridings are very large and
their population is widely scattered the
results in them will not be learned un-
til after midnight. However, unless the
, decision is very close, enough con-
stituencies probably will have been
heard from before 10 o'clock to indi-
cate accurately the general result
Today's vote is being taken in PA of
221 constituencies. Seven are not vct-
ing Three of these counties gave their
decision on nomination day a week ago,
returning government supporters by
acclamation. In the remaining four,
owing to wilderness conditions which
retard official election prepare tions,
voting has been deferred two weeks.
When the polls were opened this
morning there were crowds of electors
at almost every city booth waiting to
cast their votes. Among those who de-
posted their ballots early were Sir
Wilfrid Laurier and R. L. Borden, the
opposing leaders. Premier Laurier
voted in Quebec at 10 O'Clock and about
the same hour Mr.. Borden cast his
vote in Halifax The organization of
each side appeared to be working
