ing Of security.
Washington opens today, and
though the Griffmen have been easy
for their eastern neighbOrs, they
have given the Sox a tUssle all sea-
son. The Red Sox, however, will be
playing Detroit, and the Tigers are no
soft afternoons pastime. A three-tO-l
one licking for Washington should
give the Sox a lead of at least an
other game over the CarTigans, who
will be doing well to split with the
Tigers.
LieboId reported today and went to
left field in the opener, Roth being
benched and Felsch slipping to sixth
place in the batting order, where his
bat, following the stick of John Col
Inns. should drive in several runs.
Red Murray has signed with the
Cubs. He and BTesnahan had not
come to terms until last night. 1t is
believed Roger will use the flame
topped lelder as a utility man and
pinch hitter. Just at present none of
his regular OUtfeldeTs can be well
displaced.
In some quarters it was believed
that Murray would displace Cy Viii
iams in center. An examination of
the records shows that Williams is
hitting the ball Justify, and is steadily
climbing in the averages. He is sew
eral points above Frank Schultz. 1t
must also be remembered that Will
liams is young man, and due to de-
VelOp with every game.
In reality, Cy has been hitting even
harder than the records indicate. Sew
eral of his recent line drives have
been directly into the hands of a
fielder. Cy should stick. -
No game yesterday in Brooklyn,
which means a dOuble-header. The,

time, but dOuble-headers play hob
with the Bresnahan pitching staff.

RHODE ISLAND
Two Laborers Held as Suspects
in Murder of Judge Knowles
Near Providence.

PROVIDENCE, r. L, Sept 6-Jus-
tice Willis s. Knowles, of the Eighth
Judicial District, was assassinated
just after he had left his bungalow in
North Scituate to take a trolley car
for Providence today.
He received three bullet wounds
two in the back and one in the jaw
The attack occurred about q hundred
yards from the house and apparently
the shots came from bushes that
lined the village road leading to the
car line. After having been wounded
at least once, the justice turned back
and nearly regained the gate opening
into his place when he fell dead.
The murder was witnessed by nj
one except the assassins, who escaped
Later the police detained two men or
suspicion. They are Italian laborers
and according to the police one OF
them carried loaded revolver. The
body was found by Knowles's house
keeper, Mrs. Warddell, who had rur
from the house when she heard the
shots fired. AS she reached the lawr
she says she heard a mans voice
with a foreign accent, cry: Now
judge, I've got you" She saw no one

Justice Knowles was forty-eight
years of age and unmarried. His
legal residence was at Cranston, but
he had occupied the bungalow al
North Scituate this summer. His
office was in Providence.
The police are proceeding on the
theory that he was killed in revenge
by some litigant against whom he
had given a decision. His circuit was
made up of the city of Cranston and
the towns of Johnston. Foster and
Scituate, in each of which he held
court once a week.
According to the police he had re-

under which a saloon short distance
from his bungalow was conducted. In
recent years there have been many
arrests in North Scituate of alleged
promoters of cock fighting.
Justice Knowles was born in Hook
import, Athens county, Ohio. He
entered Ohio University and studied
three years there. In 1890 he re-
moved to Boston, coming here three
years later. In 1908 he was elected
TO the bench. The justice had planned

New Attack Viewed With GraV-
ity, but All Facts
Awaited.

WASHINGTON, Sept 6.-Awaiting
completed reports on the supposed
torpedoing Of the Allan liner Hes
perian, President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing suspended judgment and
action today.
None of the tension and anxiety
which followed the Arabic incident
was observable Off1cialdom did not
discount the new situations gravity
as bearing on prospective settlement
of the German American submarine
controversy, but the general view was
that 1t was inoonceivable that Ger
many had repudiated her forma
guarantee against unwarned u-boei
attacks on passenger liners.
Arrangements were made TO-DAY TO-
an early conferences between Secre
tary Lansing and Ambassador Bern
storff, the latter being scheduled t.
arrive during the day.
That subsequent details of the Hes
perian incident would furnish salts
factory explanation was the hope ant
belief in official circles.
American Consul Frost's repor
from Queenstown that tho HesperiaT
carried small-bore gun aft was
deemed likely to figure in develop
ments probably to Germany's advan-
tage.
That no American lives were los
also tempered the gravity of the case
though It was agreed that 1t did no
affect the principles involved.
Secretary Lansing today cablef
Ambassador Page, London, for full
details of the affair. Statements from
the Americans on the Hesper1an and
further advices from Consul Frost
Queenstown, were expected.
The White House and Secretary
Lansing refused to comment on th'
case. Every indication was that &

LABOR PARADE
IS IGNORED BY
CITY'S HEAD
Mayor Raymond Fails to Re-
view Marchers-Disappoint-
ment in the Ranks.
FIRST INCIDENT OF KIND
IN HISTORY OF NEWARK
Procession of 10000 Worhnen
Greeted by Large
Throngs.

For the first time In the history of
Newark's Labor Day parade the
mayor of the city was not present to
review the marchers today. When,
promptly at 1890 o'clock, the blare
of a big band heralded the approach
of 10000 men and women. members
of Essex county's labor unions, mes
sengers were sent scurrying through
the City Hall to obtain the, presence
of his honor on the front steps to
take the review.
But he was not to be found When
he left his office at the end of last
week 1t was understood that he
would be in his office today although
he left no word. The troop Of
mounted policemen came up and
passed with their batons present -
and the grand marshal Nathaniel
Bonnet, followed, uncovering as he
passed. But there was no one to re-
spond.
Thereafter the rest of the march
ers, as they went by, looked ffrst ut
the vacant spot reserved for the
mayor at the head of the steps, and
then again to the railing of the bal
cony on the second floor. But the
only officers representing the city who
could be seen on the mayors balcony
were City Treasurer Elmer Day and
Louis Dauber, the police officer de-
tailed to the mayors office.
Just as the Journeymen Horse
shoers came before the hall. a dele
gate of the local mounted the steps
with q souvenir of the parade for the
mayor. 1t was a handsomely polished
model horseshoe with Good Luck,
and the name of the local stamped in
it. Policeman Dauber took possession
I of the token and will hand 1t to the
mayor when he returns.
American Flags Only.
The parade itself was vivid and
colorful, several of the unions vyine
to make a pleasing appearance In the
march. But aside from the banners
and gonfalons designating the several
bodies represented, the only flags
/ shown were American ensigns. 1t was
noted at the point of assembly at
Lincoln Park, a number of men and
some women bore small flags with
the colors of the suffrage party
These were absent when the line was
finally formed, however, and it was
said that the marshaps aides had re-
quested that these and any other
| flags except the colors of the United
| States, be put away.
1t was figured that there were be-
| tween 10000 and $4,000 marchers In
line. Though demonstration of
peace, everything was moved with
/ military precision. Promptly at 10:S0
the hour originally set, the marshal
gave the command and the parade
moved forward.
First came a squad of mounted po-
licemen under Lieutenant McRell:
then the marshal and his staff. Fol-
lowing came the first division, head
ed by the painters and decorators.
This body was led by two lines OF
men bearing gtlded palettes
Women In Special Hats.
A most attractive feature of the
line was furnished by the Hat Trim
mers local, made up of women at
tractively garbed in white, and wear

u. S. ATTITUDE ON
CARRYING OF GUNS
BY MERCHANT SHIPS

According TO the report Of the
United States Consul nj Queens
town, the Hesperian carried a four
Inch gun on her stern.
The United states government de-
cided last fall in the case of for
elgn vessels leaving American ports
that the carrying of guns of not
more than siX-inch caliber, II the
number and positions of such guns
Indicated that they were purely for
defensive purposes, did not cause
n vessel to lose its status as a mer-
chant ship and become a war ves-
sell
President Wilson, in his second
note to Germany regarding the
sinking of the Lusitania, referred
TO this distinction in the purpose
for which guns are carried when re-
plying to the German assertion that
the Lusitania was undoubtedly
equipped with masked guns" In
performing its duty as neutral
power. the President said II was
the duty of the United States 'tO
see that the Lusitanla was not
armed for offensive action"
