Onslaught.

nings to a tie score of 6 to 6, in the
worlds series ball game here when
the contest was called on account of

repIayed on the Boston field today.
The contest was exciting from the
first to the last inning. With a lead
of three runs against them the Giants
bitterly contested the Red Sox all the
way until they finally caught them
and passed them in the eighth inning
Boston then rallied strongly and sent
a fifth run across the plate, which tied
the score.
Collins pitched a good game for the
Red SoX until the eighth inning, when
the Giants batted him from the mound
The Giants garnered a run in the
tenth. and the home club was in de-
spair when Iris Speaker, by a mighty
drive for three bases to the center
field seats, followed by an error by
Wilson's thrOw-in, scored the tying
run. The eleventh inning was unpro-
duCtive and darkness ended the game
with each club having six runs.

Ter before the jury at the trial of the

Ihe incident in reference to Pan

before the arrest of the Los Angeles

ISOLATION of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers" said Mr. Miller. John
J. said to McManigal, We can't get
any more dynamite around here with

anna and see what you can do down
there. The McClintic- Marshall Con-
struction company has a lot of dyna-

A WASTE OF 1925, 900, 900
John Sinclair Discusses Result of Re-
cent Trip Abroad for the State
Board of Public Affairs.

Madison.-That a saving of $225,-
sumers and producers of the farm
produce of this country through CO.
operative buying and selling is the
opinion Of John Sinclair of the Wis
consin legal reference library.
Mr.. Sinclair was sent by the Wis
consin state board, of public affairs
% England, Denmark and other
European countries in which coop
erative marketing has succeeded, to
study the methods followed there
and to determine whether or not
these would be applicable to Wis
consin conditions.
The farm produce of this country
is worth about 9,OOO,0OO,00O, and
assuming that half of this represents
the cost of marketing under the pres
ent system, Mr. Sinclair, in his re-
port, estimates that at least per
cent of the other half could be saved
by the producers by having their own
cooperative managers and sales
agents.
This would mean a net gain to the
people of $225,0O0, 1000. And the
experience of cooperation in Ireland
and Denmark, as told in Mr.. Sin
clair's report, is that many times that
amount may be saved.
The great aim in cooperation, ac-
cording to Mr.. Sinclair, is to increase
production and to get the product to
the consumer as economically as pos
cih1o

KinIey Before Quiz Body.

Washington, Oct 10.-Congressman
Mckinley of Illinois, manager of
President Taft's candidacy for the
denomination, testified before the sem
ate committee that he spent approx
mately $290,000 in the pre-convention
campaign.
Another chapter was added to the
disputed story of the so-called Harri-
man $4,000 contribution of 1904,
when Wayne MacVeagh of Philadel-
phia, former attorney general, told
the committee of a telephone CONVEX
sation H. NICK Twombly had with
the late E. H Hartman in 1904.
Il remember calling on Mr.. Twom-
bly, in the latter part of October,
1904" said Mr.. MacVeagh. While
we were conversing he was called to
the telephone by his clerk His office
is in the same building as Mr.. Nor
CAMS, but in the upper stories.
when Mr.. Twomb!y returned he
told me he had been talking to E. H.
Hartman; that Mr.. Hartman had
been called to Washington by Colonel
Roosevelt and had found the president
anxious for the raising of an addition
al fund for the campaign; that it had
resulted in Mr. Hartman agreeing to
raise and give to Mr.. Bliss $240,000.
Mr.. Twombly said that Mr.. Harri-
man had called him up and said he
expected him to give $4,000
'Mr. Twombley said to me Ned
Hartman was going to give $4,000:
that he had been asked to give $780,
600; and he said something that led
me to infer that Mr.. Morgan would
give $4,000.

Uniting of Enemy.
London, Oct. 11.-More than 10000
Mongols have been slain by Yuan Shin
Kai's trops in Eastern Mongolia, &C.
cording to a ST. Petersburg dispatch
to the Times. The victorious troops
are now advancing in a circle on Urga.
The object of the outrages perpe-
trated is to stamp out the inclination
recently displayed by the people OF
eastern Mongolia to join Outer Mon
golia.
"Bereft of Russian support" adds
the dispatch, "the government at Urga
is now disposed to receive an ennis
sary from Pekin."
