CHINA IN FOR CIVIL WAR
Shanghai, Aug. 21.-It is be-
lieved that nothing can save
China fro manother civil war, I'M
less Yuan Shat Kai should sud-
denly go to his death.
Desperate fighting has broken
out at WI Chang. Telegraph
lines are down, and no details
can be obtained.
WI Chang is headquarters for
Vice President Ii Yuan Hung,
who has broken with his chief.
There is talk today of non1in-
ating Ii as president of Southern
China on condition he Immediate
ly declares war upon Yuan and
the North.
Every one would prefer Sun
Vat Sen to Ii, but the Chinese
are fatalists. Sun has gone to
Yuan's capital, Pekin, to investi-
gate the execution of the Hupeh
generals, and no Chinaman be-
lieves he will ever come out of
Pekin alive.

WAGE MAIN QUESTION.

Inc union OIIlCldlS, pIeSlQSlllS
of the street railway companies
and Mayor Harrison still were in
conference late This afternoon.
From present indications, the
conference colnn1itteesis not like
ly to come to any settlement nor:
to a breaking point until Thurs.
day or Friday.
The street railway companies
are jockeying. They are avoiding
the wage issue. Mayor Harrison
ais helping them to do so.
The union officials are helpless
to prevent this just now. If they
were to do as they ought, and
break off all negotiations, the
companies would tell the public
that the union had refused to
treat with them, and perhaps the
public would believe them.
But it is fact that the COM
panies and Harrison are persist
emily lodging the wage issue,
which is the only real issue at
stake.
The street car men want a liv-
ing wage. Their average yearly
wage today is only 1923. Every
one knows man cannot keep
himself and family decently on
this.
The street railway companies
are wailing that the payment of a
decent wage would break them.
Yet last year, the Chicago City
Railway Co. declared dividends
of 111z per cent, which is just
about 61a per cent over normal

SHERIFFS' ASSOCIATION
 TO MEET DECEMBER g
WILL PROBABLY RECOMMEND CHANGE IN METHOD OF
 EXECUTION.

Little Rock, Dec. 4.-gThe passage of a law to electrocute condemned crim- inals in Arkansas instead of hanging them, as the present law prescribes, is one Of the most important matters to be taken up at the semi-annual meeting of the Sheriffs' Association of Arkansas at Little Rock December 9. The sheriffs are expected to pass a resolution recommending that such law be passed at the next session of the legislature.
 Under the present law, criminals condemned are hanged by the sheriff fin the county where the crime is com mitted. Each county has to have condemned cell in it's jail and go to the expense of paying guards to watch lover the criminal until the sentence of court is carried out.
 Under the proposed law, an electric chair would be built at the state peni- tentiary and the condemned cells would be located there. As soon as a criminal was sentenced to be electro cuted, he would be sent to the state penitentiary and there await his cleo trocution
 "Electrocution is more humane than hanging, and should be the law in this state" said a prominent official Ut would also save the country consider able expense, and would cost the state a whole lot less in proportion. At present each county has to have a con- demned cell, and under the proposed law the penitentiary could have few CT cells and consequently not be un- der the total expense the counties combined are under
 Many of the states in the United States have adopted electrocution in- stead of hanging, and the newer meth cd of executing condemned criminals has been very successful It is very likely bill proposing the law in Ar. kansas will be introduced when the legislature meets in January.

The French aufhori- ties decided to take no action against Papke, but the incident emphasized tn, need of an international utilization. espe cfally for the supervision of the standing of men, classes and weights Rosseau has advised the New York authorities that the National Sporting club of England is desirous of entering into such an anilia- ton and if is suggested that the New York authorities endeavor to bring the other boxing centers of the United States into some kind of association to he rep resentative of the whole country.

MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN GATHER IN CROWDS TO HEAR RETURNS-SPECULATORS ARE BUSY WITH SERIES TICKETS

Boston, October s-Bulletin board crows of a size rarely equalled in this city exulted today over the Red Sox's stirring victory in New York.
 Good old Wood. was the slogan of thousands of fans" after the opening game of the world series had been de- cided in Bostons favor. When Wood struck out Pitcher Crandall of New Nork for the third out in the ninth inning with men on second and third bases, a sigh of relief went up from the multi tudes and all were shouting and etieer- ing in the next breath.
 Men and women of all degrees in the social and business life of the city gath cred by the hundreds to hear the returns. The crowd Boston common Hooked through the common arena across the street. impeding traffic and finally invad- ing and filling temporary stands erected for a parade next Saturday. Their en- thusiasm rocked the uncertain tiers, but no mshap resulted.
 On newspaper row all traffic was tied up. With the last announcement, "Bos- ton wins, to g.. ringing in their ears, the crowd surged down the thoroughfare and into the side streets of the business section back to the work which had been
 
 sport of the day.
 While most Bostonians were interested in reports from the game In New York to the exclusion of all else, many gave more than a passing thought to the problem of how to see the game in. this city to- morrow. Some 16000 persons have ob- tained reserved seats. More than this number will find places In the blsachers and many planned to be astire early to- morrow to take their place in line. A few went to the gates tonight, to be first "in the rush. when the gates open short ly after 10 a. m.

10000 Frenzied Fans Witness the C0ntest-Giants Rally in the Ninth, But Unable to Over
 take Red Sox's Lead

New York, October, S.-The Boston Americans overcame the New York Ma tionals by a score of 1 to 8 today before more than 35,o00 people in the first game of the worlds series. The contest was nip and tuck all the way. The Giants made a thrilling rally in the ninth inning. when they nearly tied the score, but Smokey Woods bewildering speed turned two Giant batters back to the bench on strikes for the last two put outs and the Red Sox carried off the honors.
 When victory perched on the banners of the Red Sox post, the Boston delega- ton marched across the field and Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, who was a guest of Mayor Gaynor led in the cheers for the players of both teams. Governor Flu gene Foss of Massachusetts and Cover nor Tener of Pennsylvania saw the con- test.
 Finish Is Dramatic
 Rarely if ever has any worlds series game provided such a dramatic finish Two runs behind, Giant supporters had given up hope. Hundreds were leaving the stands when Merkle sent single whistling to the outfeld, after one man was out Even then the chance of tying the score seemed remote, but a Texas leaguer by Herzog, followed quickly by a hit by Meyers, which sent Merkle home, put the stands in a flame of excitement.
 With the Giants on second and third, thousands stood in their seats and yelled. Fletcher swung his bat nervously at the plate, while Joe Wood, white of face. seemed anxious. The Red Sox twirler patted the grass, hitched his belt, rubbed the ball and adjusted his cap. This de- lay seemed to unsettle Fletcher, and he swung futilely at Woods fast breaking shoots three times and went back to the bench
 Crandall, a strong man in the pinches, came up. Wood put over two strikes and then three balls. The Red Sox twirler then shot over high fast inshoot. Gran dall swung, missed and the game was over.
 Pitchers Selected
 It was a battle of managerial wits in the selection of the pitchers. Manager McGraw pinned his faith in Tesreau and the Ozark bear hunter held the Red Sox hitlcss until the sixth inning, when Speakers three bagger broke the ice. Tesreau weakened in the seventh inning and before the fusillade of Boston hits was over three scores were made and the Red Sox had lead of two runs.
 Manager Stahl placed his star pitch er Joe Wood, on the mound and in only two innings was the Red Sox moundsman hit hard and his dazzling speed continued undiminished until the last man had struck out. Wood famed Ill batters. He gave only two bases on balls.
 Giants Score First
 The Giants were the first to edge their way into the run column Wood held them scoreless until the third in

when, after reaching first; base on a force, Stahl started down and was hagged by Meyers with a perfect throw to Doyle. Despite the nervousness of the two teams there were but two misplays. These were committed by Wagner and Fletcher,
