PHILADELPHIA TAKES SERIES
Win From New York Giants Saturday
and Speedily Close World
Contest.

New York, Oct. 13-The New York
Giants stood in their last line of en-
trenchments Saturday and with their
big gun, Christy MathewsOn, wheeled
into action, lost By a to 1 score to
the storming attack of the Philadel-
phia Athletics, who needed but one
more victorious charge to make them
worlds champions of 1913.
With all his pitching artillery shat
tered by the Athletics cannonading,
Manager McGraw was forced to send
HIS lone pitching star, Mathewson, to
the firing line with only two days rest.
Plank was the choice of Connie Mack
Thirty-five thousand or more per-
sons, undismayed by the herculean
task of the Giants, were out to view
the battle. The gloomy weather kept
the Philadelphia crowd down to a
small number, but those enthusiastic
few sat behind the Athletics bench
and never missed an opportunity to
cheer their team.
The National league supporters took
but one game, the second one of the
series.

EFFORTS TO REPEAL STOP
Underwood Still Favors 5 Per Cent
Differential Provision on
Imports.

Washington, Oct. 11.-Eforts to re-
peal the per cent differential pro-
vision on imports in American ships,
which has aroused the state and
treasury departments, met a setback
with the return to the city of Repre-
sentative Underwood, chairman of
the ways and means committee and
original champion of the clause.
After Joseph F. Folk, solicitor of
the state department, who advocates
repeal of the provision, had talked to
Mr.. Underwood, he announced that
there could be no developments in
the matter for several days. 1t also
was stated that President Wilson's
mind in the premises still is open.
Mr.. Underwood still emphatically
favors the provision and had no hest
fancy in saying so.
1.-THE tariff is now a law and 1 am
for the bill as it stands" Mr.. Under
wood declared.

TARIFF CAUSES LITTLE SLUMP
BUSINESS CONTINUES TO SHOW
IMPROVEMENT
Influence of Crop Money Furnished by
the Government Is Being Felt
by the Farmers.

New York, Oct. 13.-Bradstreet's re-
view of trade says: e.
Cross currents in trade matters are
noticeable. However, distributive
trade sentiment is optimistic; the in
f1uence of crop money is being felt
in agricultural districts; demand for
prompt shipment of textiles is pro-
nounced feature of a scantily supplied
market; buying of staple articles is
liberal, most reports indicate that
trade generally is ahead of last year.
when jobbers and manufacturers were
enjoying activities; cottons continue
to mend; demand for money for mer-
camille purposes is good and car
shortages are in prospect.
Yet, it is probable that trade is a.
shade less active than the week be-
fore, this being due to an intermin-
Cling of various factors. Changed tar
iff conditions, believed by many to
have been discounted, tend to restrict
buying, pending clearer views on price
trends and effects of Withdrawals from
bonded warehouses, and unseasonably

free distribution.
Wheat, including flour exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week aggregate 6,148,948 bushels
against 6,431,281 last year.
Dun's Review of Trade.
Dun's review of trade says:
Adjustment to new conditions fol-
lowing the enactment of tariff bill re-
suits in some irregularity, yet, in a
broad sense, the situation reflects con-
tinued improvements. Most reports
indicate that the volume of trade is
gradually enlarging, the necessity of
replenishing : depleted merchandise
stocks causing increased activity.
The paucity of supplies is so marked
in certain lines that difficulty is ex-
perienced in filling immediate needs
with shortage of labor hampering some
manufacturers.
This is particularly true of the cot
ton goods mills, which have orders on
hand for the next three months.
The demand in both jobbing and
retail circles continues brisk at the
highest prices of the year for many
products, although business has been
restricted to some extent by the un-
settled condition of raw material mar
kets.

Wisconsin Coal Rates.

Wisconsin paper makers were given
a hearing before the railroad commits
sion upon their petition asking for an
adjustment Of coal rates in Wisconsin.
Some years ago, after a hearing, the
rates were reduced under group plan
whereby the freight charges on coal
were the same from all ports, that is,
the rate from Milwaukee, Manitowoc,
Green Bay or Superior was the same.
Now the railroads ask that the rates
for distances that are materially short
er than from the more distant ports
be made lower, contending that the
group system as applied to those local
tiles in which the paper mills are Is
not a reasonable scheme. 1t appeared
from testimony at the hearing that
more than so per cent. of the coal
used in the Fox river valley is shipped
from Milwaukee, Notwithstanding the
fact that the ports of Manitowoc and
Green Bay are much nearer. The rail-
roads contend that the present ar
rangement is the best, not only be-
cause it is established but for the rea-
son that any other arrangements
would result in giving causes for COM
plant to particular localities.

don of troops was thrown about the

President Made Demands.
The arrests followed a demand by
President Huerta that the chamber
withdraw the resolution, which carried
the threat that the deputies would
abandon the capital owing to an al
legged lack of guarantee for their per-
sonal safety.
Senator Dominguez, early in the
month, made a speech in the senate
violently attacking Huerta, saying
that not only had nothing been done
during Huerta's regime toward the
the present situation in the republic
was infinitely worse than before.
Huerta OppoIition Cause.
He said the currency of Mexico had
deprecated, fields had been neglected
and towns RACED, and that famine
threatened. He added that the situa-
ton was due first and foremost to the
fact that the Mexican people could
not resign themselves to be governed
by Huerta, >,
Before the hour for the regular
opening of the session of the chamber
the basement and roof of the build
ing had been packed with troops
through the gallery.
When the deputies were in their
places Minister of the Interior Manuel
Cara Aldape entered the chamber.
Simultaneously, several hundred fed
eral troops lined up in front of the
chamber. Senior Aldape assembled the
platform and read the reply of Presi-
dent Huerta to the resolution warning
him of the deputies intention to dis
solve the parliament and hold their
sessions elsewhere, and demanding an
investigation Of the disappearance of
Senator Dominguez.
Act Considered Reasonable.
The reply said that President Huer-
ia could do no less than consider the
resolution as an act of unjustified ag-
gression and transgression of the
rights of the other two poWers-the
executive and the courts.
When the arrests were made a few
of the leaders were placed in auto
mobiles, while the other deputies were
taken to the penitentiary in street
cars.
Meanwhile, similar demands to re-
cant had been made upon members of
the senate who had concurred in the
chamber resolution. A committee of
senators called on President Huerta
and signif1ed their willingness to COM
ply with his demands. Later, the SEN
ators formally withdrew this action.
In anticipation of trouble, heavy pa
trolls of troops are on the streets. The
rapid fire guns WI ich were posted in
the interior COURTS of the palace in
February again are in place and guam
titles of ammunition are at hand.

Adolph Weinman statute of Lincoln We

There is some misconception as to

ence to an employee of the city of Mil

says Mr. Crownhart. "The employe in
this case was directed to report for

so reported. He was then directed
where to go to work. On his way he

designated he was performing service

ment'"
