WORLD SERIES GAME
AGAIN POSTPONED

Philadelphia, Pa, oct. 19.-Light
rains again fell here today, causing
the National Baseball commission to
again postpone the fourth game OK
the world championship series be-
tween the New York Giants and the
Philadelphia Athletics.
Tho rain fell early in the day and
the weather later cleared, but the
diamond was not in the best con-
dition for a game. Fair weather is
predicted for tomorrow.
Philadelphia fans are thoroughly
disgusted with the weather, believing
that It will prove an important factor
in deciding the championship, as they
figure that each days rest increases
the chances of the New York Giants
for winning the fourth game, as the
New York pitchers are sorely in need
of rest

FOR i. S. BENCH
Former Trust Attorney to
Succeed Justice Harlan
is Outlook.
TAFT CONSIDERS HIM
BELIEVES PEOPLE CAN BE
MADE TO LOOK UPON ATTOR-
NEY GENERAL AS ONE BUST
ER OF TRUSTS

Butte, Mont, Oct. 19.-Attorney
General Wickersham looms large to-
day as the favorite candidate for the
vacancy on the United States su-
preme court bench which was made
vacant last week by the death Of
Justice Harlan.
Out of a long list of names of men
who are eligible to the appointment
which President Taft today began tc
consider, there is only one progressive
republican. That IS Secretary Fisher.
Of the department Of the interior and
his chances are believed to be decid-
edly slim.
Among the others who are being
considered by the president are Sec
retary of War Stimson. Solicitor Cen
eral Lehman Thomas Marshall, q
prominent attorney of New York, and
Circuit Judge Warrington of Cincin-
natl, o, whom President Taft ap-
pointed to the federal bench.
President Taft realizes that the ap-
pointment of Attorney General Wick
ersham to the supreme bench might
provoke some adverse criticism as the
attorney generals former connection
with Wall Street interests, does not
reflect TO his credit, but the presi-
dent on the other hand believes that
the people can be made to swallow
Wickersham as a trust buster.
Regarding his appointment. the
president has stated that he will have
moth ling definite tO saw until he cOm
pletes his tour, which will not end
until the middle of next month. as
he realizes that the appointment Will
go long ways toward influencing
his political affairs.

The late slump in prices for milk
ers has shut off the supply flowing
this way from the country, to meag-
or showing as compared with last
week and yard dealers have raised
their prices S3@5 per head for the good
COWS they have at hand. There is some
demand in eastern shipping account,
but nearby buyers are not doing
much in the trade. Improving demand
for butcher COWS is reflected by a more
ready outlet for the palmer mixers,
but such are still relatively slow Not
many COWS are landing above $50, but
strictly choice ones are firmly held at
$50.
Sheep receipts yesterday We're esti-
mated at $4,000 head, against actual
arrivals of only 5000 head week ago,
but the aggregate for the three days
this week showed an increase Of less
than 1000 head, being $500, against
64620 for three days last week, and
9S34S for the corresponding time a
year ago. Six western markets today
had 49,s0O sheep and lambs, against
