STATE
OFFICIALS WILL
TESTIFY IN CASE
(By Associated Press.)

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 19.-The de-
tense to be offered in behalf Of E. c.
Chambers, president, and four alleged
agents of the Chambers Land Compa
ny, who are on trial, today in the fed
eral court here, charged with using the
mails to defraud and promote con-
spiracy in the sale of Florida lands,
will rest almost solely on testimony to
be given by prominent Florida state
officials, according to an assertion by
attorneys for the defendants early to-
day. Subponaes have been issued for
Governor Park Trammell Ex-Governor
A. w. Gilchrist, and ex-State Drainage
Commission ]. o. Wright, and officers
have gone to Florida to serve them on
Five Florida officials, who, it is as
serted, will testify in behalf of Cham
bers and his associates, are already
here. These are Comptroller w. "
Knott, Treasurer U. C. Luning, Com
missioner of Agriculture w. A. McRae,
Chemist R. E. Rose, W. H. Ellis, su-
preme court juatice-elect and the Flor
ida attorney general. These gentlemen
today declined to discuss the case with
representatives of the Associated Press
further than to affirm the statement
that there are here to give evidence in
the case.
1t is the contention of the govern
ment that Chambers fraudulently rep
resented the land owned by his COM
pany as of great value and that thous-
ands of investors were deceived into
buying worthless lands, from the sale
of which he and his associates cleared
, profit considerably more than a mil
lion dollars The introduction of tes-
timony in support of this contention
was resumed this morning.

TAXPAYERS ARE
SETTLING TAXES
WITH COLLECTOR

Tax Collector l. B: Smal's Office is
now the Mecca of many property own
ers of Sumter who, respite the general
stringency prevailing are paying their
county taxes for the current year.
Collector Small stated this morning
that, while the number of those who
thus far had paid will not compare
with the number at this date last
November, when cotton was worth IA
cents and money was plentiful, not a
few have paid up and others will do
likewise. The county sorely needs the
money, as for several weeks past script
instead of currency has been the cir
culating medium, to great extent, in
the payment of the county's bills. The
tax books will not be closed for a
month yet, December Goth being the
prescribed time therefor, but as taxes
must be paid, there is no need in one
waiting until the final day of grace to
make settlement.

TRUST LAWS To
HOLDCONGRESS
UNTIL AUGUST
Changes to the Trade Commission
Bill in Senate Will TangIe
Matters Further.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-Congress
san not be able 10 adjourn until Au-
gust because Of the differences that
have developed over the American
trust agreement, according to the pre-
aiction to-day Of a Democratic mem
her of the House Interstate Commerce
Committee.
He based his statement on the de-
lay in reaching an agreement in the
Interstate Commerce and the Judi
clary Committees, and on the pros
pect Of a stubborn contest in the
House and Senate.
A strong factor in the Democratic
quarrel over the trust regulation
methods is the decision Of the Presl
dent that the interstate trade com
mission bill shall carry no admins
trative power Not only are the rad
icals demanding that an administra-
live scheme be included in the bill
row being drawn, but business men
Pre- asking the same thing.
There is a wide difference of opin
ion between Chairman Adamson and
Representative Sims of the Interstate
Commerce Committee as TO the stock
and bond regulation bill.
The judiciary Committee also is
unable to decide on a policy toward
the proposed exemption of labor
unions and farmers organizations in
the provisions of the Sherman law.
A secret caucus of members Of the
House favorable to the labor inter
ests has voted to insist upon exempt
ing the unions.
Members OF the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee to-day inti-
mated that the interstate trade
commission bill win be amended by
the committee so as to provide against
unreasonable search and seizure OF
books and records OF companies and
corporations. II is feared that the
powers given the committee In the
pending bill are so broad as to af-
tect the constitutionality OF the
measure,

The announced determination Of

It be known not only that he is IN

Mr.. Pickett has had much valuable
legislative experience, and Is looked
upon as one Of the most influential
members OF the present General AS
sembly. His elevation 10 the senate
will come as well merited reward,
therefore, for past work well per
formed.
The New York World in recent
editorial concerning Senator Bacon
and his splendid work in Congress,
fell into an error that ought TO be
corrected The World said that II
the Senator had lived until March 4,
1914 he would have entered upon ms
fourth term as "A Senator from Geor-
gia. thus breaking a record that never
before had been upset in the State.
As a matter of fact. Senator Bacon
entered his fourth term on March
a. 1913, and was the only Senator ever
elected to a fourth term since the
state of Georgia came into existence.
He was, moreover. the first Senator
ever elected under the terms of the
new Federal amendment providing
for tho popular election of Senators.
II Is rumored upon excellent au-
thority that Editor Charles Brantley
of The Valdosta Times, is to leave
that post of duty soon to accept a
rendered position as associate editor
of The Macon Telegraph
Mr. BrantIey is one of the best
known editors in the state and has

ANT|TOX|N STATION
FOR ALLISON HILL
DR.. Raunick Provides Plan Where
by Physicians Need Not Send
to Center of City

Members of the medical profession
in Harrisburg learned to-day of in
creased facilities for supplying
demands for antitoxin. Through
the efforts of DR.. j. M. j.
Raunick, city health officer, u
new station has been located at
Thirteenth and Market streets. This
does away with the necessity for send
ing to Market Square for a supply.
DR.. Raunick sent the following letter
to all physicians and surgeons in Har-
risburg to-day:
This bureau has the pleasure Of
announcing to the medical profession
that State Health Commissioner Sam
uel G. Dixon. M. D., has granted our
request for the establishment of n
new State antitoxin station, in the AL
lson Hill district and has appointed
Frank j. Althouse, the Thirteenth and
Market streets pharmacist as the third
distributor of State antitoxin in this
city.
"On October 1, 1914, the Frank J..
Althouse pharmacy at Thirteenth and
Market streets, will be prepared to
supply all your State antitoXin wants
and ii is hoped, that by availing your
self of the improved facilities placed
at your disposal, by this additional
station, you will find a much and long
needed want supplied"

COMMISSION BUSY
ON WORLDS SERIES
Plans For Final Championship Bat
ties Under Discussion
Today
Shectal 10 The Telegraph

Philadelphia, Sept. 30. - Members
of the national baseball commission
will announce worlds series plans fol-
lowing a meeting at the Bellevue
Stratford to-day.
It is now possible to make definite
plans because Boston won yesterday,
while New York lost. This ctnched
the victory for the Braves. AT the
meeting were Governor John Is. Tener,
president of the National League;
Ban b. johnson, president of the
American League; August Hermann
of the Cincinnati club, and representa-
tives of the Boston and Athletic teams.
President B. F. Shibe and Manager
Mack represented the Athletics, while
President James Gaffney and Manager
Stallings looked after the Braves in
tests. The toss of a coin will decide
the city in which the series will start.
It has virtually been settled that the
first game will be played on Friday,
October 8, but this will not be settled
officially until to-day.
A report came from Boston last
night to the effect that Manager STALL
ings favored playing the series in one
day stands 1t has been proposed that
the games be played in two-day
stands, in order to avoid the necessity
of so much train travelling. Connie
Mack is reported to favor the latter
plan and this is the principal matter
to be threshed out at to-day's meet
ing.
Sale of Seats
The sale of seats. the scale of prices
and the manner in which the tickets
are to be distributed will also be
arranged The ticket matter is one
which has caused more trouble for
the baseball magnates than any other,
for the handlers have their work cut
out for them to keep the pasteboards
from falling into the hands of specu-
lators.
The prices will probably be the
same as last year, 50 and SO for re-
served seats, and 1t is more than likely
that tickets for only two games will
be sold, in order to avoid the annoy
ance of refunding money, as was the
case last year.

WH|TTED'S DOUBLE
LANDS NAT T|ONAL FLAG
Boston Braves Need Fear No Other
Team; the Shouting Will
Come Later
Special to The Telegraph

Boston, Sept. 30-A double by Whit
ted after Evers had been passed broke
tie in the ninth inning yesterday,
and Boston not only defeated Chicago,
to 2, but won the National League
pennant. 1t was the last game OF the
season here for the new champions.
Tom Hughes, formerly of the Ro-
chester Internationals, who pitched his
first game for Boston, held the visitors
of five hits. Their first run was due
to muff by Moran of Goods fly, net
ting three bases, and Saier's sacrifice
fly. Safer singled in the fourth and
advanced to third on two wild pitch
es. When Schultz hit to Hughes,
Safer was run down, Schultz scoring
on Bues' triple. Boston's first runs
were due to four successive bases on
balls and a squeeze play, Moranville
hunting toward first as Whitted raced
home.
The Braves victory over Chicago
while New York lost to Pittsburgh,
made defeat mathematically impos-
sible for the Bostonese. The glory
of the fight, however, was earned dur
ing the period from July IA to about
September Is, during which they bat
tied their way up out of the utter
most depths of the league, passing
team after team. and establishing a
lead that was never even challenged.
They tied New York for rst place on
September 2, and soon carved their
way ahead. so that in two weeks they
were comfortably established. They
have been hailed as sure pennant win
ners for over a week past, but 1t re-
manned for yesterdays games to make
1t absolutely certain. They could love
all of their remaining games and still
finish first-even in New York won all
of the games 1t has yet to play.

view of the failure of the two athletic
associations to agree on arrangements

advised the West Point Athletic Asso-
citation to abandon further negotia-
tions for a contest. Secretary of the

Central high under Coach Paul Smith

opment. With Mt. Carmel high as

Whether Central high will depend
chiefly on their weight or on the abil-

game. However, it may require both
