GAND|L' s HITTING IS
IMPROVED IN WEST
Reaches Height of Achieve
ments When He Connects
Five Times Out of Six.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

CHICAGO. Sept. 22-Right on the
heels of the Detroit Tigers, the Ma
tionals today have the record of
having made the best showing of
any of the Eastern teams in the
interscctional strife that is now
in it's thickest and which will decide
the positions several of the teams are
TO hold at the expiration of the cam
paign. Seven times the Griffmen have
started on this side of the Alleghenies
and five times they have returned
winners. Three out of four oppor-
tunities they turned back St Louis
and the count here stands two to one.
IN the season the White Sox and the
Nationals are today even. each team
having taken ten of the score of
Eames that have been played between
the clubs this year.
One of the most potential features of

Three Distinct Governments in
Existence at Present.
BLOODSHEO APPEARS LIKELY
Resort to Arms Seems to Be the Only
Method for Deciding Supremacy
of the Various Factions.

Washington, Dec. With three
distinct governments proclaimed in
Mexico and others believed ready to
burst into bloom, a battle royal which
will SHOW one distinct faction supreme
appears to be in sight.
General Pablo Gonzales, who has
heretofore been looked upon as one OF
CarranZa's supporters, is reported
heading one. and his detection may
prove serious to CarranZa.
Gonzales is reported at Pachuca,
forty miles northeast of Mexico City,
with the outposts of Villas army in
close proximity.
At the same time Carranza and Vii
la forces are near at Tampico, where
General Luis Caballero has re%pudiated
Carranza and declared for Villa and
the Gutierrez government.
Mexico City, now held by Zapata
troops, with several of Villas veteran
regiments in reserve, is reported
quiet. The reorganized police force
is in complete control and all threat
ened rioting is being effectively
stamped out.

VOTE TO RESClND ACTION
Trustees Elect Agricultural CoIIeoe
President.

After making President J. H. Worst
of the Agricultural college at Fargo
president emeritus and electing Pro-
lessor q. f. Ladd, a member of the
faculty and pure food commissioner of
North Dakota, to succeed Worst, four
of the sever members Of the board of
trustees at a later meeting voted to
rescind the election.
This angered the remaining three,
who have rendered their designations
to Governor Hanna. They have not
been acted upon.
The election of Dr.. Ladd was made
two weeks ago, but for some reason
the board kept the matter from the
public. 1t was unanimous. The board
called in DR.. Laid, congratulated him
and received his acceptance. Those
who have resigned are Claude Nugent,
Clark w. Kelley and George NJ. Hol-
lister.
The majority membership Of the
board gave as its reason for rescind-
ing the election of DR.. I.add that new
appointees soon would be placed on
the board, and it would be better to
have the new board elect a president
satisfactory to it.

AMERICAN BLAMED
FOR SMYRNA AFFAIR

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The Turkish
commander of the forts at Smyrna
lays all responsibility for the firing
on the cruiser 1rennessee's launch to
the indifference of the helmsman of
the launch, who, it is said. did not
heed warning OF the presence of
mines"
Secretary Bryan issued a supple
mental statement on the Tennessee
incident, based on the latest commu-
nication from the Turkish minister of
val to Ambassador Morgenthau in
Constantinople.
The wal minister's report" said
the statement, states that he ascer-
tanned from the commander of Smyrna
that two blank shots Of warning were
first fired and that the sentinel, after
waiting two minutes, was obliged to
fire the third shot in another direc-
ton from that of the launch, which
latter shot was merely to prevent the
helmsman of the launch from hold
ing his course, leading directly onto
the mines at the entrance to the port,
and to rescue him from a very certain
danger"

f,GWS Of the Week From Many
Sections Of the State.
ADVOCATES BUDGET SYSTEM
Governor Hanna Favors a Board to
Work With Legislators in Max
ing Appropriations.

Excessive levies by the state legis
lature are responsible for the condi
ton of North Dakota finances, by
which revenues for several state en-
terprises We're necessarily curtailed
for the coming year.
This statement is made by Gov
ernor L. B. Hanna in o formal an
nouncement issued bearing on the
question of the states financial prob
lens.
The governor would abolish the
scheme OF making levies by the legis.
lature, leaving state administration
officials to handle the levy, and Civ
ing the legislature power to make its
appropriations from session to session
with more freedom than is now posi-
preparations and levies.
The creation of a board OF three or
five members, which would plan a
state budget and submit its findings
to each legislature, is proposed by
Governor Hanna. This, he says, would
dDollSl lle present graz DdS SCuellle,
by which each institution fights its
%neighbor, fearful that somebody will
get more thar it does.
Unnecessary duplication Of work in
the educational institutions also is
scored, Governor Hanna maintains
that the institutions, with their lib
cral income. are quite able to conduct
their activities within the new income
figures if they would but confine their
attention to activities that come right
fully within their scope.
The governor goes into details,
showing that the failure of the state
to receive the oil inspection fees, to-
falling 100000, held UP by court pro-
ceedings, and the reduction in the
general fund, last year, to permit of
the assessment of the full special
%levies, has caused a depleted treasury
that demands just the action taken
by equalizers in making a blanket re-
duction Of a fraction over SO per cent
On nonpreferred claims against the
state.

BRITISH BATTLESH|P
BULWARK BLOWN Up

Sheerness, Eng, Nov. 27.-The Brit
ish battleship Bulwark was destroyed
by a terrific explosion as she lay off
here. The ship disappeared in three
minutes. There are only fourteen sur
vivors from the crew of 700 or SOC
men who were aboard.
The explosion is believed to have
occurred in her forward magazine.
Whether it was caused by accident
or design is a question to be deter
mined by the commission which has
been appointed to investigate.
In the opinion Of naval men it was
to the battleship, which for twelve
years had done service at home and
abroad and lately had been doing hel
part in guarding England's shores.
There vas no great upheaval of wa.
ter such as would have occurred ii
she had been t%orpedoed or struck by
a mine. Instead, the ship was en-.
veloped in smoke and flames and when
this had cleared nothing could be
seen but wreckage floating on the
water.
Houses in towns seven and eight
miles away were shaken by the eX
p}osion and even before men on ships
anchored near by could reach their
wv decks the Bulwark had disap
peared. The neighborhood was strewn
with an enormous amount of wreck,
age, while pieces of the ship were
thrown six Or seven miles on to the
Essex shore.
