Of the series that will decide the worlds
championship.
Final decision as to the date and place
OF starting the annual derby will not be
definitely settled until tomorrow, when
the National Commission meets In New

preston In baseball circles that the big
TIT will be underway on the Sth.

games could thus be played In one city

for travelling TO the other, whereas AZ
the getaway is on Saturday, but one
game might be played in the first CITY.
That means more railroad fare and ad-
ditional expense.

TWO NEW MEMBERS
OF SCHOOL BOARD
Alexander Simpson, Jr., and
Thomas s. Boyle Named
by Judges

Alexander Simpson, Jr.. and Thomas s
Boyle were today appointed by the Board
OF Judges to fll two places on the Board
OF Education. These vacancies were
caused by the death Of william T. Tilden
and the failure Of the board TO reappoint
John Burt 10 the board.
Mr.. Boyle Is a supporter OF the Wares.
and II the man who called on Congress
man Ware with petition, asking him TO
run for Mayor.
II was predicted that Mr.. Burt would
not be reelected and this was attributed
TO the fact that about three years ago he
bolted from the Ware camp and has since
been active in opposing Ware policies.
The failure OF the Board to reappoint
him and the naming in his place an out
and out Ware man Is attributed to be
directly due to Ware influence
Alexander Simpson, Jr. Is law partner
Of Attorney General Francis skunk
missioners. lie Is an alumnus Of the Cen
trail Hieh School. has been active in the
affairs Of that school and has shown in
terest In educational affairs.
Mr.. Simpson was suggested for a place
on the board several years ago when
there we're several vacancies on the
board, but this place was filled by the
election OF John Wanamaker
Despite the agitation for the election
OF several women, the board decided that
the vacancies should be filled by men,
The names OF two women, DIR. Ruth Web
ster Lothrop. of the Woman's Medical
College, and Mrs. Edwin G. Grice, presi-
dent OF the Home and School League,
were considered.
Henry II. Edmunds. president of the
Board OF Education, was reelected for

could prove that he was either out of
the city on those days or ILL., A white
petition wns provided for the absentees
and blue one for those who were i'll.
These petitions were to be made out and
fled with the Board of Registration Com
missoners.
REGISTRATION MADE EASY.
The McNichol change in the laws. as
divulged today, added a pink petition to
the list, and made last-hour registration
apparently easier than registration on the
days specified by law.
The pink petition makes II possible for
electors to pay their poll tax after the
last registration day, and have their
names added to the registration lists IL
they have not paid poll tax at any time
during the two years previous. Citizens
who have become naturalized since the
last registration day can also register
through the pink petition
The change in the election laws was an
nounced and the pink petitions were dis
tributed to Organization workers at a
meeting of the Republican City Commit
tee held this afternoon at the commit
tees headquarters. 11th and Chestnut
streets
1t was announced at the meeting that
the committee had arranged to have the
office Of the Receiver of Taxes in City
Hall remain open until . o'clock tomorrow
night so that electors can purchase poll
taxes up until that hour The Board of
Registration Commissioners, 1t was an
nounced, will hear the petitions on
october 13. Tomorrow is just 30 days be-
fore the election, the last day under the
law for paying tax to entitle an elector
to vote.
WARES URGENT PLEA.
Congressman William S. Ware explained
in a short address that the McNichol
change in the law made 1t possible for
any one not registered to pay his poll
tax tomorrow and be registered on Mon
day by filing his petition with the Reg
istration Commissioners
The Organizations need of votes was
confessed by Congressman Ware, when
he told the members of the committee
that they should add 5000 names to the
lists by means of the pink petitions.
The South Philadelphia Congressman
urged the Organization men to make a
thorough canvass of the men who voted
for George ID. Porter in the primary, in
an effort to get them to vote the straight
Republican ticket in November. He con-
cluded with a repetition of his plea that
an Organization victory I'm Philadelphia
this fall would be forerunner of a ma
tonal Republican victory in 1916
COMMITTEES NAMED.
The committees which will handle the
Organization campaign were named, and
II was stated that the Organization cam
paign would start on October II, three
weeks before election day. The chair

MEN INDICTED
FOR PERJURY
Officials of Powerful Finan-

SEQUENCE OF QUARREL
Counsel for Defendants Say
Present Action Proves Treas
ury Department Conspiracy

WASHINGTON, Oct. Flour indict.
ments alleging perjury were today re-
turned by the Grand Jury against Charles
c. Glover. president; William ]. F1athers.
vice president, and Henry H. Fathers
cashier, of the Riggs National Bank one
of the strongest financial institutions in
the country. The indictments grew out
OF the troubles between the Treasury De.
partment and the bank officials, which
are expected to result in court decisions
that will define exactly the meaning of
the national bank supervision laws.
A joint indictment against the three
bankers and three individual present.
mcnts were handed up by the Grand
Jury. An arrangement had been made
with counsel whereby no warrants were
TO be issued. but they will appear in
court tomorrow, enter pleas Of not guilty
with privilege OF demurring, and then be
released on $1,000 bail each.
1t has not been determined whether the
defendants shall be tried under the Dis-G
trict of Columbia code, which provides
a penalty of from two TO ten years i'm !
code, which provides for a fine OF not
more than $4,000 and Imprisonment of not
more than FIVE years. ,

counsel for the defendants, issued state :
mcnt declaring the charge made last !
April that the bankers were the victims
of malicious persecution by Administra- /,
tion officials, meaning those of the Treas
ury Department, was proved by their in
dictment. The present action is an off, -
shoot of the civil suit brought by the ,
bank recently against Treasury Depart =
ment officials. In the hearing of that
suit Samuel Untermyer. of counsel for
the Treasury officials, charged that the
Riggs Bank had been dealing in stocks. :
The affidavit in reply declared that the
bank never at any time bought or sold D
any stock whatever from or through the Z
firm of johnson & Co, nor made a short 4
sale of stocks through that firm"
A final decision in the civil suit against
Treasury Department officials is expected
soon in the District Supreme Court. :

PASKERT LAUGHS
AT HIS DETRACTORS
Continued from Page One

Continued from Page One
I'll show in the worlds series that I will
hit Just well as he does. and I will
cover just as much ground in the field
He may be a better ballplayer than / am
but he's got to show me first. I know
those Boston batters better than he
knows our fellows, because they can hit
only in certain places, while there isn't
a man on our club that can't hit equally
well TO right, left or dead centre fields
no matter whether he bats right-handed
or left"
This belief OF Paskert's that he is going
to play better than a man who is rated
by some as the greatest player I'm the
world is the typical attitude of the Philly
players. They are not in the least stuck
up" or "cockey" about II either But
there is in the club a whole and in
the individuals of the team a deep-rooted
confidence which nothing but final defeat
can shake.
Paskert has good grounds, too, for his
confidence in his own ability and i'm his
ability to better Iris Speaker on the tilt
ing ground here and in Philadelphia. He
always has been and is today just as
good a fielder so far as fly balls are con-
cerned as Speaker.
1t is true that Speaker has the knack of
cutting down extra base hits to singles
which DCde has not developed. At the
same time there are few hits in a worlds
series which are either not singles or
which would be extra base clouts on any
fielder that ever played the game, pos
sibly excepting the crafty McCarty of old
Johnny Evers, who Is staying at the
Copley Square Hotel. where the Phillies
are predicts a victory for Moran's men
in the worlds series Johnny doesn't
make himself conspicuous here by any
means, but he is seen frequently in the
lobby with his wife and 4-year-oId boy,
John, Jr. Here is what he had to say
today about the Phillies' chances: you
can't expect me to feel very happy Just
now, because we thought surely we we're
to repeat and win the pennant again
this year. But will say this about the
worlds series: The Phillies ought to
beat the Red Sox easily. / figure that
with Alexander in three times and with
Chalmers, McQuillan, Demaree and
Mayer the Phillies have a pitching staff
which is Just as good If not better than
the Red SoX.

LAUREL RACE SEASON
USHERED In TODAY
Plant Spick-and-Span for Open
ing - Pullux Wins
First Race

LAUREL Md, oct. 1.-Laurel Park,
which opened today, certainly presented
an inviting appearance. Its new coat Of
fresh paint, set off by blooming plants
and the greenest of new brush, Is an un-
mistakable reminder OF the many inn
provements that have taken place in the
last few years under the present man
agement. The track proper is as fine
bit of natural racing ground as there is
In the country, and, with the care and
attention which II has received of late
seasons, 1t is now without a superior.
Ample provisions were made for the
handling OF the crowds which came from
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York. Separate platforms for those
arriving from different points eliminate
congestion both upon arrival and depar-
ture from the track. this in itself being
a comfort thoroughly appreciated by
racegoers.
Ever since Colonel wlnn and his asso-
ciates assumed control there has been a
constant improvement of the racing prop
erty I'm it's every department. While the
comfort OF the horsemen and their
charges, who, after all. furnish the enter
tainment. has been well looked after.
Colonel Winn has not failed to make the
place beautiful In horticultural way.
