BAN JOHNSON SAYS
he KNOWS seal PER
American League President Declares
lie Will Probe Alleged Ticket Scan.
dal During Worlds Series.

New York, Oct 2S.-Ban B. john
! son. president of the American
League, is still anxious for prob
ing for the alleged ticket scandal i'll
connection with the worlds cham
pionship games here. He declared
that he has evidence in his posses
sion that will throw light on the mud
die and is willing to tell the name of
an individual Who helped spectators
to get hold of many tickets. In his
opinion John T. Brush. president of
the New York club, has been kept in
ignorance of the facts.
Brush had no part in the sale of
tickets to scalpers, said Johnson.
He knew nothing about the way
matters were handled by certain
person who, for the present, shall
remain unknown.
Il promise you to probe the tick
ct scandal to the bottom, providing
August Hermann and Thomas ].
Lynch, the other mebmers of the
commission, will sanction an official
Investigation.
Friends of Johnson say that priv
ate detectives employed by him have
discovered proof that the more PROM
inent ticket spectators secured 5000
gfandstand seats at 81 advance over
the regular price. So far Hermann
las pooh-poohed the matter with the
statement that it is greatly exagger-
ated, while Lynch has maintained
a discreet silence.

P. P. BYRD COMPANY
BUYS STATE COTTON
rehltentiary Board Resolutely Holds
Out For IL IA and Finally
Gets II


Gets 1t.
Little Rock, Ark, Oct 2s.-Tbe
fenlteniary Board yesterday after
noon sold AIS bales of cotton from
the state farm to the P. P. Byrd Cot
ton Company, the price being Il IA
cents a pound. The buyers at YES
terday afternoons meeting began by
o'ddlng II cents and finally ran the
price up to 10 1-S cents. Then At
torney General Norwood moved that
the cotton be sold at Is IA cents to
the first buyer who offered that price
before 6 o'clock. The motion was
seconded by Secretary of State Hold
ges and was passed. The board then
adjourned, awaiting the offer of 13
IL cents. Shortly before O'clock
Auditor lobe was notified that the P.
F. Byrd Company would pay the nrica
asked.
Governor Donaghey voted against
selling the cotton at this time. be-
cause he said his experience has been
that large lot of cotton of fancy
grade brings better price than
does a smaller lot. Therefore he
favored waiting until more of the cot
ton is ginned. Last year he said, 500
bales were sold at Is Ia cents, while
the regular price was IL 1-2 or 13
cents. He stated, however, that the
price received for the AS bales sold
Yesterday appeared to be unusually
good it being about 5 1-2 or cents,
over the general market price. The
fact that the cotton is of excellent
staple and is in a large quantity is
responsible for the fancy price.
Several of the state officials COM
mented last night on the probable
effect of this sale on the proposition
OF the farmers through the state hold
ing their cotton for higher price.
The general opinion was that it will
cause the farmers generally to de-
mand higher price than they have
been receiving, despite the fact that
that the state farm cotton has a long
staple.

DON'T NEEDLE With

Many Accidents Result From IncOm-

Why is it that man who would call

repair the electric wiring?
1t is fact that most of the acct
dents resulting from electric wiring
would never have occurred had the
wiring remained just as it was i'll

Houses are wired by competent
electricians who take every precau-
ton to guard against any leakage of
current, any places where the cleo
tricity can leave the wires and cause
trouble. This wiring is always final

FIGHTING The
GLASGOW CASE
Government Replies Today to
Defendants Constitution
aIity Plea

Argument which began yesterday in
the United States Court. before Judge
Bradford effecting the constitutional
ity of the law under which ]. Wesley
Glasgow was indicted by the Federal
grand jury on two counts, charged
with sending Objectionable literature
through the malls, was resumed by
John c. Fay. counsel for the defend
ant, in that court this morning.
United States District Attorney
John =. Nields will make reply to Mr.
Fay this afternoon and today will
probably end argument on both sides.
Mr. Fay made the contention that
his client had no means Of knowing
that he had committed an offense
against the laws Of the United States
for the reason that the act under
which he was indicted is not clearly
defined. He said that he, himself.
had read proofs OF the book which
Glasgow wrote before Il was printed
and found nothing Objectionable.
Mr.. Fay said he submitted the book
to the Librarian Of Congress. who
said he couldn't tell whether Il was
improper or not. He asked the opin-
ion OF an assistant deputy attorney
general Of the Postofiice Department,
who would give him no opinion in ad-
vance Of its being mailed.
Under these circumstances. Mr.. Fay

may publish a medical book which ho

TIGERS HIT
USUAL SLUMP
Varsity is Shot to Pieces by
Scrubs in Hard Practice
Game
~ The United Press.

~ Inc united Press.
PRINCETON, ~ j., Nov. 15-With
only few days left before the great
Yale game the Tigers have begun
their annual slump, and coaches and
players are all but disheartened. The
Varsity was shot all to pieces yes
terday by the scrubs, who made runs
and tackles as they pleased. The re-
suit was that today's scrimmage prac-
ticing was the hardest that has been
forced upon the first string men since
before the Harvard game.
The Tiger line showed material
weakness, and there was a glaring
lack Of interference. On several oc-
casions the man carrying the ball was
left absolutely uncovered, and at the
mercy of the scrub tacklers. The
condition aroused the ire OF the
coaches and every time a Varsity
runner was thrown for a loss because
of lack of interference, there was an
improvised war dance by Roper and
his assistants.
Dewitt was the exception to The
rule. his line playing being as good as
ever, while he got away his punts IN
scrimmage in wonderful style. Bakers
drop kicking may startle the natives
at New Haven next Saturday.

Fire last evening about 6 o'clock
destroyed the two-story frame dwell
ing occupied by James Crockett and
family at Talleyville. Adjoining prop
critics were threatened, but the auto
mobile apparatus OF the Water Witcn
Fire Company responded TO a hurry
call. making the trip to Talleyville
and getting into service within thir-
teen minutes. Mr.. Crockett, who is
employed in Wilmington. was on the
way home when his dwelling was de-
stroyed and found cheerless ruins
instead of his usually CHEEKY freside
awaiting him.
Mrs. Crockett and her daughter
were preparing supper when they
discovered the fire in a second story
room. 1t evidently was caused by an
overheated fiue Mrs Crockett i'm
mediately summoned help. and nearly
everybody IN Talleyville turned out
to fight the flames and TO save the
effects from tho dwelling. Practic-
ally everything on the first floor was
saved. but the furnishings of the
second floor could not be reached be-
cause of the rapid spread Of the
blaze.
Meanwhile somebody sent in a call
to the Water Witch Company and its
apparatus was soon speeding on the
way. BY the time il arrived after the
quick run the dwellings OF Clark
Webster and Joseph Mousley, on
either side of the Crockett house. and
a stable in the rear were in danger
from the loaping forks of flame which
every once in a while set FIRE to one
OR the other of the nearby properties.

put their chemical apparatus into
service and saved the houses near the

oughly gripped by the fire that there
was no hope Of saving il. The other
