QUESTION CLEARED UP
1mond Readers Can No Lonaer
Doubt the Evidence.

Richmond Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence.
Again and again we have read of
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
But Richmond's pertinent question
has always been Has anyone here in
Richmond been cured?" The word of
a stranger living a hundred miles
away may be true, but it cannot have
the same weight with us as the word
of our own citizens, whom we know
and respect, and whose evidence We
can so easily prove.

STRUNK IS OUT
OF THE SERIES

Boston, Oct. 12.-Strunk, center fielder
for the Philadelphia club, will be out of
the game for the rest of the series, it
was learned tonight When the Philadel-
phia players returned from the game they
found Strunk with one hand heavily ban
daged as a result of an abscesss which
had been forming for several days. His
loss will be felt particularly by the Ath-
letics because up to today he was the
only one of the American Leaguers hit
ting anywhere near to true form. His
absence today was not noticed partic-
ularly as Manager Mack had at times
taken him out when opposed by a left
handed pitcher.
The Philadelphia players tonight
said they were still hopeful that they
would even up the series. 1t seemed to
be the general opinion among them
that the Braves were playing at the
very top of their game while the Ath-
letics were far below their true form.
Baker. in particular. pointed out his
slump in batting. He said he could
not understand why he should strike
out twice in succession. Oldring and
McInnis, usually hard hitters, ex-
pressed the same surprise at their SIM
liar experiences.

Berlin, Oct. 12-By Wireless to Say
Vile, L. 1.-The general staff of the
German army announces today that
in the beginning a very strong garri-
son defended Antwerp with great en-
ergy but that after the attack by Ger
man infantry and marine divisions the
defenders fed in full rout. Among
the Antwerp garrison was one Brit
Ssh marine brigade.
The complete collapse of the Anglo
Belgian defence of Antwerp was
caused by the fact that no military
authority could be found with which
to treat concerning the surrender of
the city. This surrender was finally
negotiated with the burgomaster.
II is impossible to give as yet the
number of prisoners taken with Ant
werp Many of the defenders who hcd
TO Holland were interned.
General Beseler, who has been dec
grated with the order of Merit for
his capture of Antwerp, has issued
proclamation addressed to the people,

less they committed hostilities upon
the Germans.

The bomb that fell near the Lyon

OF STATE HARRY
WOODS SHOOTS
S ELF SUNDAY

Springfield ILL.,, Oct. 12.-Secretary
of. State Harry Woods, one of the
Democratic senatorial candidates at
the September primary and former
operator on the Chicago Board of
Trade. killed himself early yesterday
morning. His lifeless body with a bull
let wound in the center of the fore
head and an automatic pistol clutched
in his right hand, was discovered by
Mrs. Woods early today lying in the
tool room in garage at the rear of
his residence.
No note of explanation was left by
Secretary Woods and the only clue
which would give a possible indication
for cause of the tragedy was bulky
bundle of papers, showing extensive
dealings in grain through a Chicago
brokerage house.
Mrs. Woods could assign no motive
for her husbands deed.
