Johnston Defends Police.

Commissioner Johnston. who has super
vision of the metropolitan police depart
ment today defended the department
against the charges made that inadequate
police protection was afforded the suffrage
procession. The police, he said, did the
best they could under the circumstances
He declared that he saw no signs of dis
tress among the participants in the
parade.
Commissioner Rudolph declined to ex-
press any views concerning the criticism
of the police He said that he saw only
a small part of the parade. as he was at
the Union station with the committee
which greeted President Wilson upon his
arrival.
Mr. Rudolph pointed out. however. that
the Commissioners. in recent commune
cation sent to the War Department, sug-
gested that a patrol of soldiers along
Pennsylvania avenue would be desirable
addition to the police force that would be
detailed to preserve order during the pa
rade.

Clear at 9 O'Clock.

THE major and superintendent of police
passed over the entire parade ground and
found things in fair condition at . o clock
pm. The narrow space. about thirty feet,
entering the ground south of the Treas
ury was kept clear, as requested by the
Suffragist Association, but there were
those who endeavored to obtain sight of
the tableaux which were being performed
on the Treasury steps, and which drew
forth thousands of people who could not
possibly obtain access to it by reason OF
the narrow roadway which had to be
kept clear and which was kept clear for
the parade.
My captains inform that in the
formations they could afford a clear
space for the same, and that the only
real crowd that massed. giving primary
trouble to the police, was when the ca
BILE used in front of the New Willard
Hotel, at Pennsylvania avenue and 14th
street northwest, broke, giving way and
permitting the great crowd assembled
there to enter the lines. The overflow on
the street probably prevented injury to
persons on the sidewalk, which might
have resulted in calamity.

guard and may have learned some
thing that will help them solve their
deliveries. Demaree is a newcomer,
though he is not kid by any means.
He has a delivery which has fooled
me often this season. He puts on
speed when you would swear he is
pitching slow ones. l watched him
warming up before one of the games
he pitched against the Pirates, and
thought he had no smoke at all, but
when l stepped to the plate he was
shooting them over like cannon balls,
yet he was not using a motion which
b indicated much exertion.
Of course, Mathewson's head will
help him in the big series, but the
chances are against Christy being as
effective as he has been in similar
series in the past. Age tells on the
best of players. Matty has not been
so. successful lately as he once was,
but he uses his brains about as much
as any pitcher in the business, and
he is likely to. get by when man with
more stuff would fail.
My opinion is that the hitting in
the worlds series will depend very
largely on whether. one or the other
teams is suffering from slump. By
that mean to express my belief in
the conviction that when a man is
batting at his best he can hit any
twirler in the world and when he is
off his stride novice can fool him.
I've studied slumps, but I've never
been able to explain them and I've
never heard of recipe for curing
one except pegging away till your
eye comes back.
Tesreau has a puzzling delivery,
but imagine he will have more trou-
Bile beating the Athletics than the
other Giant hurlers, because he has
lacked. control nearly all season. In
these post-season games it usually |
requires air-tight twirling to win. |

this fall. Matty may come through
with some great games, but the
chances are against it. He pitched
very clever ball last fall, yet he could
not win, and he's year older now.
Marquard is a bit cratic and re-
quires more coaching and aid from
his mates than Mathewson He is
there, though, when he is right. 1
have found that it's good thing to
smash away at the RUDE.
Of course, use a different system
against the various New York pitch
ers, just as l do against all other
teams1 You always figure on mans
control when you>are facing him. A
tWirler like Matty, who seldom gives
a base on balls can only be beaten
by hitting at his early pitches. By
that mean not waiting until he gets
you two and three, for he will exert
himself to the limit then and he's
likely to fool you Fitting the first
one is good stuff against Matty. Wait
ing them out is the proper caper
against Tesreau if he is as wild as
usual. He has more trouble getting
the ball over in pinch than either
Matty, Marquard or Demaree.

Winterset, Aug. 26. - Holding his
wife by the hand while she plead with
him in vain for her life, Ersie Brobst,
laborer, shot her in the neck, kill
ing her Instantly. A moment before
Brobst had shot Peter Clear, stone
mason, in the back and supposed he
had killed him. He then turned the
revolver ON himself. The murderer
explained he thought he might as we'll
make a clean job of it and shot him
self IN the right temple, falling over
the body of his wife. Brobst and his
wife had been separated several
months. Coming from Des Moines on
the late train he went to the house
where Mrs. Brobst lived and had a
long talk with Mrs. Brobst's mother.
He got up at four o'clock this morn
ing and walked over to Clears house
where Mrs. Brobst was getting break
fast for Clear. When Clear appeared
in the yard Brobst pulled out re-
volver and commenced shooting. AS
Clear started to run Brobst shot again
the bullet striking Clear in the back.
Clear was nearly 70 years of age. The
doctors think he may live. Brobst en-
tered the house, killed his wife and
then himself.

BROOKLYN May Join
Another Town Likely to be Lighted
from Oskaloosa Plant.

Brooklyn Chronicle: A committee
composed of Edw. H. Talbot, presi.
dent of our commercial club, r. ].
Breckenridge, F. l.. Neff and the
Chronicle editor, safely piloted by
ID. A. Edwards in his fine Jackson
car, made trip on Monday to Oska-
loosa and New Sharon to investigate
the electric light system owned and
operated by the Mckinley system.
At Oskaloosa the committee was met
by Mr.. G. L. Johnson, who was in
charge of the Mckinley lighting, heat
ing and traction system in the alb.
sence of Mr.. H. w. Garner, who was
away on a vacation. Since taking
charge of the Oskalosa plant, many
important changes and improvements
have been made. The lighting system
has been changed from a direct to an
alternating current. The capacity OF
the plant has been greatly enlarged
and work is now going forward on
plans for extensive enlargement. All
machinery and fixtures that were out
of date and inadequate have been sup
planted by the newest and most eff.
cient designs. The same conditions

very small part of the old plant Is
in use. The unanimous testimony OF
patrons at both Oskaloosa and New
Sharon was that the service was as
nearly perfect as it is possible to
make It, A good strong current is
furnished twenty.four hours every day
and Interruptions have been very
rare and of brief duration. At both
places patrons speak in highest terms
of the improvement in service over
the old system before the Mckinley
company purchased and took charge
of the plant. There are undoubtedly
some disadvantages In having the
power transmitted from a distance,
but in many important respects the
service is greatly superior to any
thing that is possible to furnish by a
local plant, added to the immense ad-
vantage of twenty-four hour service
that local company cannot afford to
supply in cities several times as large
as Brooklyn.

Dubuque County After $4,000.

Dubuque, Aug. 26.r-The prospect
grows brighter each day for Dubuque
county to secure the $4,000 appro-
priation from the United States for
work on the county roads. A year ago
the department of agriculture appro-
priated 100000 to be spent on roads
of the various states, it being the in
tent to select one county in each
state, to give it $4,000 if the county
would make an additional appropria-
ton of $4,000, the $4,000 to be ex-
expended in building approximately
fifty miles of permanent road, each
mile of the road to be traversed by
rural mail route. The board of super
yisors of Dubuque county got busy
on the matter early in the winter,
made its appropriation Of $4,000 and
then petitioned the department for It's
$4,000, but before this was done,
Story and Boone counties had joined
and made a similar request from the
department, having the recommends
ton of Governor Carroll at the same
time. Their claim went through and
1t seemed that Dubuque county had
lost out, However, when Congress
man Connolly went to congress he
took the matter up with the various
department heads and it was found
that several states had made no re-
quest for their part of the appropria-
ton, so there is still considerable
part of the 100000 available for
those who want it. The fourth as
sistant postmaster general was re-

McQuillen communicated these facts
to CONGRESSMAN Connolly, who, in an
swer. in addition to other things, has
the following to say on the subject:

preparation remains very good. In

NEVER SAW MULHALL
FORMER SECRETARY TO M'DER
MOTT TEsTIFIEs. }s
Arthur West OF Ohio ouizzed Regard
ing Secret Rroom Used for
Conferences. ..

Washington, Aug. 26.-Testimony in
behalf OF Representative McDermott
of Illinois was heard here by the
house lobby committee when Arthur
West of Dayton, o., testified that he
was secretary to McDermott from De.
cember, 1907, to August. 1909. and
that during this period he had never
seen Col. M. M. Mulhall, formerly OF
the National Association Of Manufac.
turers
West said he left Washington in
1909, returning March, 1911, and re-
naming until Setepmber, 1912. He
denied that during all these years
H. McMichael had been secretary TO
McDermott.
West was examined regarding room
29 in the capitol, which Mulhall and
McMichael said was used by the Nc.
Dermott and Mulhall secret confer,
ences. West said that he and Clyde
Tavenner, then a newspaper writer
and now a member of congress from
Illinois, had occupied No. q adjoining
He said he never had seen Mulhall go
into the secret room, but had seen Nc
permott pass the door with woman
He also had seen McMichael passing
Vests office in the direction Of the
room.
You are positive in these years
that you have never seen Mulhall?'
asked Representative Cline.
Il never saw him until yesterday.
reiterated West.
West testified that the reason he did
not want McMichael to hang around
the office OF Representative McDer.
mott was that he regarded McMichael
as ignorant and uncouth." The wit
ness said that McDermott had the
same habits as McMichael, but he had
hopes of improving McDermott. but
could not make much Roadway.
When Colonel Mulhall took the
stand James Easby-Smith, attorney for
McDermott,. asked Have you any
code of morals at aH?" ">'
More than you have" shouted Mul

more of them on the outside" ta..
