save II! MI. F1nley mas never enoea-
vored to have Congress prohibit the
crowding white and colored people to-
sether in sleeping cars, and this can
only be done in interstate transpor-
.ation by Congress.
Mr.. Stevenson helped to pass the
Jaw requiring railroads to pull mile
age on the trains, and they have 1t to
10 in South Carolina, but on all inter-
state trips they do not have 1t to do,
and the result is the nuisance Of haS-
ing to carry several kinds Of mileage,
complained of by MIR. Finley, which
san only be relieved by Act OF Con-
sress; and yet this doughty Congress-
man - no has been there Ii years and
complains of this has never even in
lroduced a bill to make the railroads
pull interstate mileage on the trains.
Mr.. Finley also asks why two-cent
iare was not passed by the Legisla-
.ure. The House did pass it, but 1t was
rilibustered to death in the Senate
Dy Senator w. H. Sharpe, Senator
Appelt and Senator Clifton. But Mr..
stevenson did not vote for 1t, because
Doth North Carolina and Virginia had
,ried it and both had lost expensive
lawsuits in the courts, and beside the
supreme Court of the United States
lad Just held that such rates must
ultimately be controlled by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
cited in his speeches by Mr.. Finley
and it would be folly to get South
Carolina into a lawsuit for nothing;
md in a decision lately rendered that
Commission has said that passenger
rates on Eastern roads were too low
md should be raised, rather than raise
trieght rates.
(a) Now, Mr.. Finley has discrimi-
nated against the South in voting to
put the Panama Canal Exposition at
San Francisco, instead Of at New Or
leans. Why spend all the money In
the North and make our people 60
1000 miles to see 1t?
(b) BY voting for free tolls for
,oastwise ships carrying the COM
lerce of the North and East, already
rich. to the Pacific coast, in ships,
free of tolls, while the South's cotton
md cotton goods passing through

therefore,, in ships paying tolls, and

THEOLOG|ANS MAKE
 THEIR SOLEMN vows


 St. Bernard, October 4.-(Special.) )-To- day the feast of the Holy Rosary, the Right Rev. Bernard Menges, o. s. B., re- ceived the solemn vows of three young theologians. members of the faculty at St. Bernard. This ceremony of solemn profession is one of the most impressive in the entire ritaul of the Catholic church.
 The ceremonies took place at o'clock in the college chapel at a low mass cele- brated by the Right Rev. Abbot, at which the entire community and student body were present. The neo-professed were the Revs. Andrew Capesius, o. $. B.. or Aurora, Ill.,; Dominic Downs, O. S. B., of Bloomfield. Ky, and Henry Watson of Nashville. Immediately after the gospel the right reverend celebrant ad- dressed a few choice words to the as- sembled students. He briefly explained the ceremonies they were about to witt ness and dwelt at length on the great grace of the vocation to the religious state. At the conclusion the Te Deum was eolemnly chanted by the members of the abbey choir.

'ADOO TALKS OF

Washington, October 1.-The treasury department made public tonight the fol- lowing telegram sent by Secretary Me Adoo today to the editor of the Nashville Banner, detailing the part played by the government in the placing of part of the Tennessee state loan with the Ma tional Park bank of New York.
 Tt is not customary for the treasury department to publish details of transac- tions with individual banks, but in order that there will be no such misstatements that have been made about the Tennessee loan l gladly reply to your letter. The National Park bank agreed to take $l,400, eco one year, per cent notes of the state of Tennessee at par without any commits sion, and I agreed to give the bank, which is a regular United States depository, a special deposit of $4O0,000. which is subject to call at any time. I was glad to do this in order to save the state from a possible default upon it's obligations, which, I was told, would have happened if the state had been unable to effect the loan.
 Previous deposits made with the Na- tional Park bank several weeks before were for crop moving purposes and had no relation whatever to the state of Ten nessee loan which at that time I had not even heard of"

 Government

St Louis. October 4.-John R. Silliman, President Wilson's personal representa- tive with the Carranza Mexican govern ment. and Richard H. Cole, personal friend of General Carranza, passed through here today, each en route to Washington on hurried mission con corning the Mexican sitatuion.
 MT. Silliman declined to comment on the Mexican situation except to say that when relations between Mexico and the United States became normal again this country probably would have almost 100 per cent of the southern republics trade.
 MT. Cole, discussing his mission to Washington, said:
 I am going to seek recognition for the Carranza government and anticipate no trouble in getting 1t. With Carranza at the head of the civil government and Villa head of the military department, there would be permanent peace in Mex ico. Villa and Carranza never will come to blows, because there is strong mu- tual admiration between them.
 American capital is ready to recog- nize Carranza. To my knowledge he has been promised a loan of 100000. 900 by American bankers who are waiting only for action by the Washington govern ment."

While this will be the twenty-third se- ries for premier baseball honors, 30 years have elapsed since the initial battle for the worlds championship of the baseball diamond was won by the Providence, R. |. "Grays" champions of the National league in 1884, when they took three straight games from the Metropolitans, the standard bearers of the old American association of that year. To date 22 worlds championships have been decided, unavoidable lapses having occurred in eight of the intervening seasons the years in which there were no competi- tions for the title being 1891, 1893, 1898 to 1902, inclusive, anu 1904.
 From 1884 to 1890 the contests were be- tween winning teams of the National league and American association and from 1894 to 1897 the Temple cup series kept the annual contest confined to clubs in the National league. Then there came 5 lapse of five years until in 1903, the post-season battle was revived when the Boston American pennant winners met and defeated the Pittsburg champions of the National league. The championship or 1904 went by default to the Boston Amer jeans as the New York National league club refused to allow it's pennant winners to play the American league champions.
 During the winter months of 1904-5 the two major leagues came 10 an under standing and the national commission as- sumed control of the championship series making it compulsory for the pennant psinning clubs to have their teams meet annually in a seven game series, the win ners of four of these games to receive the championship pennant and eacn member of the winning team to be pre- sented with a suitably inscribed gold but ton Rules governing the disbursement Of the gate receipts between the players, club owners and the National commission were adopted and everything to the most torily, the championship series was es- tablished on a solid basis, and since 1905 the post-season struggles for the flag have been played regularly attracting increased interest each succeeding year.
 In 1905 the New York Nationals de- featel the Athletics of Philadelphia, four games to one, under the new conditions. and the following year the rival Chicago clubs had the issue between them, the title going to the Chicago Americans, four games to two. Chicago and Detroit fought it out in 1907 and 190S the Chicago Nationals defeating their American league opponents from Detroit both times. The following year the Pittsburg Nationals forced the Detroit Ameicans to experience defeat for a third success sive time. In 1910 the Athletics of Phila- delphia won the series from the Chicago Nationals four games to one, and In 1911 Manager Mack of the Athletics wiped out the defeat of 1905 by successfully de- lending the title and beating the New York Giants four games to two. A year later the New York Nationals succumbed to the Boston Americans and last year the Athletics brought the worlds series flag to Philadelphia for third time by scoring a decisive win over Manager McGraw's New York team, four games to one.
 Since it was first won by the Providence team, the worlds championship emblem
