NATIONAL LEAGUE PARK,

NAllONALL EAGUE PARk,
Philadelphia, October o.-Presi-
dent Wilson and his fiancee, Mrs.
Norman Gait, looked on while
the Philadelphia Nationals and
the Boston Americans came to
grips today, at the second battle
of the world base ball series before
some 10000 spectators. The
weather was clear and cool.
With one battle flag captured, the
National Leaguers pressed on the
second line of trenches to make
it two straight games in this base
ball warfare. while Manager Car
rigan, leading the Boston Red
Sox, started a counter offensive
to even up the series before the
second phase of the campaign was
commenced in Boston next Mon
day.
Thousands Arrive Early.
Thousands came early to the ball yard
and by noon the best seats were filled
and the crowd still coming and press
ing for admission. The reserved
stands filled slowly, though hundreds
came long before game time to see
President Wilson and his party on
their arrival. The presidential box
near the Boston players bench OF
third base glowed with red, white and
blue bunting and small American
flags.
The playing field was in fine shape
for fast play, brisk wind during the
night having famed most of the
dampness from the ground, while a
warm sun this morning helped in the
drying-out process.
The home players had a brief morning
practice and found the inner and outer
gardens to their liking.
Six Pitchers in Readiness.
Well be in there today with some real
hitting" said Capt. Luderus. the Phila-
delphia first sacker. "and it doesn't make
any difference to us who goes in the box
for Boston"
Manager Carrigan had three pitchers
ready to do his sharpshooting, Foster
Wood and Leonard. Foster looked the
likely choice as Bostons moundsma n
Chalmers and Mayer were fit for the
firing line for the home folks, with the
left-hander. Eppa Rixey, held in reserve
Both teams took plenty of batting prac-
tice, and the crowd cheered as some OF
the long drives dropped in the back field
bleachers. The fielding practice was
smart. and there were many pretty stops
and throws. Barry for Boston and Ban
croft for Philadelphia featured in the in
field workouts.

FORTS OF WARSAW . IN GERMAN HANDS LITTLE DAMAGED Germans Disappointed at Failure to Make Im-
 posing Capture of
 Prisoners

Berlin. August 6.-(Via London, August ', 2:o5 q. m)-The forts of Warsaw have fallen virtually undamaged into the hands of the Germans according to informa- tion reaching here. The defenses of lvangorod. however. were destroyed by the Russians. The garrisons of the two Actresses appear to have completed the evacuation without material loss and to have carried away a large part of the stores and munitions of war accumulated in Warsaw for the armies in Poland.
 The German people express some dis appointment at the failure of the Teutonic forces to make an imposing capture of prisoners and guns in Warsaw, but mil- tary experts here do not share this feel ing. They point out as the real signifi- canoe of the capture that the Russians have lost the fortified base of opera tons which gave them such immense ad-

ALABAMA COTTON GROWERS SOCIETY
 HEAD IS ARRESTED
P. c. WadswOrth Held in New York on Charges of Using the Mails to
 Defraud

New York, August 6.-Phillip c. Wads- worth of Texas City was arrested at a brokerage office here today charged with using the mails in a scheme to defraud. Wadsworth in April, 1912, promoted the sale of the stock of the Cotton Growers Cooperative Society of Alabama, a s5O- 900 corporation.
 Wadsworth was arraigned before a United States commissioner and held in S2500 bail for hearing on August 26. He was arrested on an indictment re- turned by a federal grand jury at At lanta, Ga.
 The general offices of the cotton grow CTS society were in Atlanta. The indict- ment against Wadsworth charges that the charter was fraudulently obtained; that part of the capital stock was sub scribed for at the time the applica- tion was made, and that it never was in- tended to have capital stock of $50, 100000. It further alleges that letters mailed at Atlanta by Wadsworth. who is said to have controlled the society were intended to defraud W. J. spetlz of Blu chanan, Ga, w. B. Lovett of Luthers- ville Ga.. II. A. Childs of Butler, H. J. Mizie of Buchanan and others
 Further Charges
 The indictment further charges that in the promotion and sale of the stock of the society Wadsworth falsely repre- scented that the corporation was in good faith offering valuable stock; that it was bona fide corporation and was formed for the purpose of creating a system for the marketing of the Amer ican cotton crop so as to obtain for a grower a reasonable price for the cot ton produced by a plan of cooperation It is charged that the literature sent through the mails stated that there was to be a bond issue of $2O0,O0o,00o and that the total reserve was $250, GOO, ,O00 The plans of the society, it is alleged also called for the appointment of su- perintendants and other officials in vari- ous parts of the cotton belt. Wadsworti is said to have represented to the cot ton growers that they were easy marks for. the. manipulators who were robbinp them to the extent of s12O.0OO,0O0 a year. Cooperation was the weapon, it is claimed, wadsworth told the growers by which they could take a command | ing position in the market before next Christmas Wadsworth also is said tc have told the growers that representa- tives in the cotton belt were collecting cotton sufficient to assure market price of 15 cents a pound

ANOTHER CLASH BETWEEN
 GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE

While the legislature has made attempts to decrease the amount of money hereto fore expended by the governor, it Is notable fact that in the matter of ap- propriating money, It Is pursuing a course which, If continued, will be described as prodigal. It is the opinion of the law makers that in view of the fact that they have reduced expenses in certain amount and provided methods of tax equalization which they believe will in- crease revenue, they are justified in giv- ing S5O0,000 to public schools, another s500,- COG to Auburn and the University of Ala hama, and other large amounts to Monte- yallo, the normal colleges and similar in- stitutions; are justified, too in abolishing the convict lease system and thereby de- priving the state of profit and necessitat- ing additional heavy expenditures, and extending to an indefinite period the session of the general assembly which. it is estimated, will be the most ex pensive in the recent history of the state.
 If the new revenue bill, providing TOT an equalization of taxes. will increase the states revenue in sum Of $l,0O0,000 per annum, there would be reason in the at ttude of the legislators. The question Is, Will the plan succeed2" The majority believe that as a result of the tax sys- tenn which has. prevailed, property in Alabama is now assessed at 35 and not GO per cent of its actual value and that through a process of equalization. all property in the future will be assessed at 60 per cent. As stated above, the governor adheres to the opinion that the idea of the lawmakers Is hobsonesque; and thus, the legislature and the chief executive are destined again to clash on a subject regarding which there Is req son for division of opinion

Russians Are Destroying Bridges and Laying Cities to Waste as They Flee From Pursuers

London, August 7.-(d:05 p. m.) A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Copenhagen says;
 "The Russians are evacuating Kovno. The governor and his staff and the banks have gone The population has been leaving for the past week.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-08-07

London. August 6.-O0:40 D.
 m.)-With the exception of the
 great entrenched camp of Novo-
 georgievsk, the Russians have
 evacuated the whole line of the
 southern fortress, having fallen
 into the hands of the Austro-
 German army, the Russians are
 making their way eastward to the
 BreiI -Litovsk line.
 The decision of the general stan to leave the garrison in Novogeorglevsk is an- nounced in Petrograd dispatches Ths use of railway communication and of the Vlstua river for bringing up supplies for their armies
 Novogeorgevsk is situated at the june- ton of the Vistula, Narew and wkra rivers to the northwest of Warsaw It has the power of two bridgeheads, eight cita- dels and 7i redoabts coutalning Il aud F. Inch batteries. II Is calculated by miii- tary observers here that an army corps can hold out there for many months as the camp is protected by massive earth works, which doubtless have been en- largcd and improved since the Russians were compelled to begin their retirement.
 Interesting Operations
 .,4., may prove one of the most interesting op- cratons of the war. as 1t doubtless will show whether earthworks are less sus- ceptlble to the fire of high explosives than are cupola forts.
 Of the retiring Russian armies. the of- fical reports say nothing. The Russians. however destroyed bridges over the Vls- tula and placed other obstacles in the path of their pursuers, while others af their forces continue to offer stubborn resistance to the Germans and Austrians south and north who are trying to forge a ring around them.
 The general opinion here is that the Russians commenced their retirement n time to escape this inner ring, but they have vet to reckon with the wider out flanlIng movement from Lomza which. if successful, would turn the Brest- Litovsk line.
 An even more serious menace seeming ly Is General Von Bueows advance in the Baltic provinces While Petrograd claims the Germans have been thrown back im- mediately south of Riga, they have made further advance east of Poniewesch to- ward the Dvinsk- Wilma -Petrograd rail- way.
 May Advance Further
 Some critics believe this move means the Germans, unless they succeed In sma shing the Russian army intend so make an effort to advance further into Russia and endeavor to force Emperor Nicholas to accept a separate peace. With the history of previous invasions of Rus sia before them, however 1t Is believed In ether quarters that the German staff would hesitate at such a tremendous un- dertaking
 Along the western front the Germans have made a series of attacks, but all of them according to the French report. were repnlsed.
 In diplomatic circles, great interest att taches to the negotiations in the capitals of the Balkan states. The ministers ot the quadrupie entente powers at Nish Servia, following the example of their colleagues in Athens. have had a confer ence with the Servian government Sim ultaneously Sofia has denied the repeated reports that an agreement had been reached between Bulgaria and Turkey.

 Montgomery, August 6.-(Spe- cial.) Henderson this afternoon made two highly inn portant, and, by virtue of the leg islative situation, exceedingly sig nificant statements. He declared that respecting his position on reckless appropriation of money. he would keep the faith. and that the idea of the majority faction that through a system of tax equalization $1 1000, ,000 per annum would be raised in excess of sums previously raised, was entirely visionary.
 The declaration of the governor is con strued to mean that he will either vet, the bills pending carrying heavy appro nniatons in favor of education and edu cational systems, or that he will amend those bills SO that the money to be ap will not be released until tn, treasury Is able to withstand the drain As is remembered, the governor, when candidate told the people that he would not approve appropriation bills unti money to care for same was in sight His criticism of the alleged power of tn new revenue bill to raise great sums o money in excess of sums previously raise, is taken as an indirect expression of hi opinion that the treasury, a result o new leglslation, will be no. more able t withstand great financial pressure thai in previous years.
