While the National League race has
been the cynosure of all eyes of late.
the Eastern League campaign is quite
a race, too. A Baltimore dopester says
that the Hustlers have five remaining
games and the Orioles six on their
schedule. Today the Hustlers have an
advantage of three full games. If
Rochester wins three and loses two.
and the Orioles win all six games, the
Hustlers will have 1t cinched by one

If Rochester loses three and wins two.
and Baltimore wins all six, which is
improbable, the two teams would be
tied, each having won 81 and lost 90.
Therefore Rochester must win three
more games and Baltimore all six to
be in the running. To lose the flag the
champs must drop four out of FIVE
games, which is not impossible. but
very improbable.

POLICY OF ROOSEVELT

Former President viii Keep
Quiet in the Next National
Campaign


RICHMOND, Va, Oct 19.-The part
which former president, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt will take in the coming ma
tionaI campaign will be one of silence,
1t became publicly known today through
a letter which he wrote 10 Congressman
J. Hampton Moore. OF Pennsylvania,
president of the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways association, declining the honor
of addressing the association at its con-
vention here. Colonel Roosevelt emphat-
ically declared:
From now on wish to avoid max

Concluding his letter Mr.. Roosevelt
said:

These portions Of the coionel's letter
we're taken by the waterways delegates
to mean that he wished TO refrain from
giving utterance to any opinions which
possibly might be misconstrued in con-
nection with the presidential campaign.
No other meaning could be deducted from
his refusal to be a speaker at the wa
terways convention. 1t is apparent from
the coloners letter that he intends to
remain silent throughout the entire cam
paign, which already has begun with
President Taft's swing around the circle
through the west.
X The letter to President Moore begins
with Colonel Roosevelt saying:
II wish it were possible for my
friends to realize my position. not for
my own sake, but because then they
would understand just why 1T is that l

come to me-"
While he greatly appreciated the in
vitation, he was very sorry he could not

OLD BILL MINOR A LIAR
AND A DIPLOMAT. TO BOOT
Instead of Tapping Guard on Head He Seems to Have
"Finessed' His Way Out of Prison--Nght Guard Blood
worth Has Been Discharged for Sleeping Too Soundly

Old Bill Minor. who escaped from the
state prison farm last Monday night,
was more than bandit, train robber and
bad man. He was crafty diplomat, too,
as an Investigation of the escape by
Chairman Davidson, of the prison COM
mission, discloses.
Old Bill left the state penitentiary
without harming hair on the head of
the guard. Indeed, he didn't touch the
sentry, nor did he use a crowbar. In
fact, the only rough work in connection
with his departure was the careless
ness with which he slammed the door
behind him as he left the prison-and,
maybe, II was the wind and not the
bandit that slammed the door.
And recent returns from the prison
farm indicate thatiQld Bill was not with

giving the guards no trouble. doing his
work with zest and never attempting
to escape. AS he spoke these words, it
is probable that the old bandit laughed
in his sleeve in the knowledge that on
regions unknown.
Old Bill also talked to the chair
man of cotton picking. He had been
working in the fields of the prison farm,
picking cotton. and his comment was
that he was too old to make success
at such dongs, he viii had devoted his
life to the western plains. holding up
stage coaches, robbing trains and living
as a bad man OF the frontier. In fact,
Bill said he had never seen any cot
ton until they put him to picking it. and
he Mr.. Dawson that If he were younger
he would devote his life to the invention
of a cotton picker.
Accounts conflict as to just how Old
Bill Minor and his pals-John Watts and
Tom Moore-actually escaped, but Chair
man Davison's Investigations have pro-
crossed far enough to warrant him in

worth, who was on duty at the time. The
investigations viii continue, and II is
stated that prosecutions may follow.
The, guard declared that Old Bill Minor
and his pals overpowered him, took his
keys and pistol and made their escape.
But this story is not cerroborated by
the investigation, and here is the Story
as Chairman Dawson learned It:
The guard room, where Bloodworths was
on duty, is supplied with peep holes, that
the sentry may watch the prisoners in
the stockade. One of the prisoners
supposedly John Watts-succeeded in
squeezing himself through one of the
peep holes. while the guard sat at a Ia
BILE. ignorant of Watts activity. Chair
man Dawson has been informed by other
prisoners that the guard was sound
asleep. and paid no heed to their warn
ings that prisoners were escaping.
,awnes sssrruasR tne Peep h0ge snu- IN
the room with the guard. watts crept
quietly up to Bloodworth, relieved him
OF his pistol and keys. Then he unlocked
the stockade door, and out stepped Tom
Moore and Did Bill Minor. AS they left
the door slammed, and this awakened the
day guard, who sounded the alarm.
Meantime, Night Guard Bloodworth be-
came active. according to chairman Da-
vison. through the efforts of negro
prisoner who aroused him by pokng him
in the ribs with broom handle.
Chairman Dawson was at the farm,
spending the night. He and the warden
answered the alarm. The dogs were
called and began to trail the prisoners,
who had been gone not over an hour.
Then 1t began to rain, the dogs lost the
scent and the hunt was over. T.
That the escape was well planned-and
planned by Old BilI--is the opinion OF
Chairman Dawson. The men had citi-
zens' clothes. and as they fastened along
the road they lost some of them. They
were found by the searching posse and
the dogs.
And so it appears from Chairman Da-
visions account that Old Bill used rare
finesse and not the strong arm in gain
ing his liberty-the liberty he promised
to gain before he died.

vance of from ? to cents a pound On
all of the cheaper grades of coffee will

nounced today. No increase in the price
of the higher grades is expected Several
reasons are advanced for this. One i
that most Of the higher grades are branI
coffee which the owners do not visa

that many of the better grades come
from General America and are not affecs-
ed by the Brazilian situation.
