Swept in Pacific.

jacksonville, Cal, Oct. 11.-G. A.
Schroeder, Of Milwaukee, and T. ]. Tur-
bett. of Newark, N. j., seamen of the
United States submarine FL, were
drowned to-day, when a great wave
swept over the little craft, which later
went aground near Port Watsonyille!

right in the sand in three feet Of water.
The FL was originally the Carp, and
was in command of Lieutenant James
B. Howell.
Schroeder and Turbett were on watch
at daybreak, with third seasan, when
rising sea tore the submarine from
its moorings to buoy. Before the sea-
men could get control Of the steering
gear, the deck was engulfed and
schroeder and Turbett were carried
overheard.
The third seaman saved himself by
grasping tn railing. He was badly
bruised and almost drowned when res
cued few moments later by his COM
rades. The body of Turbett was
washed ashore late to-day. Schroed-
er's body has not been recovered.
The thirteen remaining members of
the crew worked for sixteen hours to
save the craft from being beached.
When 1t was seen the vessel was being
driven inward she was abandoned. and
few minutes later rammed her nose
into the sand. There Is now about
three feet of water in her hold, but she
is believed to be seaworthy.

Greater Hero than Candidate.

Minneapolis, Oct 11.-Professor Nor
man Wilde, head of the department OF
physiology and psychology of the Uni
Versity Of Minnesota, said to-day that
from tie point of view of psychology
Josh Devore, outfelder of the Giants. is
a greater hero than Roosevelt.
'Devore's thrilling catch that saved

OF wider interest than If the colonel
mad Knocked the stills from under the
nigh cost Of living" said Professor
Wilde, because the baseball is more
oirect in its appeal. OF course, it is
only momentary, and If people come to
analyze their feelings they will find
that the success or defeat Of Roosevelt
would be more material to their well
fare than a great baseball player"

GREAT CATCH BY MURRAY
New York Players Outbat Their
Rivals, but Fail to Get Hits
When Most Needed to Make
Runs, and Fall Back
in Race.

Joe Wood. mighty magician and
apostle of necromancy far too potent
for the pigmy bats Of the Giants, rode
roughshod over the champions of the
National League in the fourth game Of
the worlds series. played yesterday
afternoon at the Polo Grounds. Sum-
moning the unseen forces of the uni
verse to his aid, the brilliant twirler OF
the Boston Red Sox gave an exhibition
of curve ball pitching which has rarely,
II ever, been equalled on any diamond.
Forty thousand fans" were held SPELL
bound by his skill, and those who came
to jeer remained to cheer. 1t was
Woods second victory over McGraws
men, as well as the second victory OF
his team In the series. The score was
3 to 1.
That the Giants were able 10 make
nine hits off his delivery. one more
than they made in the first game
tempered the sting of defeat They
were pitted against pitching the like Of
which they had never faced before. and
their work was not without its lustre.
Wood had a superhuman shortstop, one
Wagner by name, who guarded the
frontier behind him and saved his
pitcher from many a ticklish situation.
But in those crises when hits meant
runs little Joseph wound the ball with
AAft 4NcE> lgn
New York bats. and not even such dis
eliminating hitters as Murray, Merkle
and Meyers could solve the great rnys-
terry of his power. Among the eight
strikeout scalps that Wood attached to
his string. five were contributed By this
trio, Merkle tanning in the eighth
when a single would have come very
near winning the game.
The crowd which saw the game was
larger by nearly thousand than the
one which turned out for the first en-
counter, and made a record for attend
ance at any one game In the series.
The total paid attendance was 30, JO2
and the total receipts S76.644. OF this
amount the players will receive 4l,-
3S7 76. the National Commission ST.
664 40 and each club $13,795 %. While
the records for attendance at single
games have not been broken, $4,000
seeing the first game between the Ath-
letics and Giants last year and $1,000
the third game, yet the total for the
series to date has smashed all previous
marks, as 147,004 fans" have paid
S273. .2S2 to see the four games.
This is 1900 more than the number
who came out for the first four games
last year The players draw down no
money after the first four games, and
it Is now assured that they will divide
S147,571 20 between them-$20OO more
than the Athletics and Giants received
last year, when a new mark was made.
The winners share per man will
amount to about $4,000.

Mentions Four Men Whose Qualifications, He Considers, Kit Them m For Bench

Attorney Jacob B. Klein, of the law firm Of DeForest & Klein, whose name was mentioned in connection With vacancies in the Superior court bench to be filled during the admin istration- of Governor Simeon E. Bald win, announced today that he is not and has not been a candidate for the Superior court bench.
 MT. Klein when asked today, by The Farmer, as to his position In the matter, said:
 tI am reluctant to talk of it. There IS nothing to it. I am not 8 candi- date for the Superior court bench. and never have been. I have how ever. the same concern in the per sonnel of the court that other law yers have. We are all deeply inter- ested in having appointments made of men of sufficient legal learning. Of the highest character. men who are free, independent and fair-mind ed, and who will perform their duty not only honestly but courageousIy. and with the industry and self sacri- fice that that place demands.
 So far I have only heard suggest ed for the Superior court bencI- for Fairfield County, Judge Howard B. scott, William B. Boardman. Thomas M Cul inan, and Judge Charles D. Lockwood of Stamford.
 saaIay Every lawyer comedies Judge each one of the other gentlemen named, in my Judgment would make a good appointee.
 T guess the bar generally would concur in my views. although, of course. each one would probably have personal preference.
 'I only hope the other counties will present as worthy candidates
