WANTS PLAYERS
TO GET MONEY
Garry Hermann Talks on
Worlds Series Cash
f! Divisions

Cincinnati, Ohio. Oct. 20.-Various
baseball men, ranging from league
presidents and club owners down to
plain fans, have been sticking in their
various oars for about week now tell
ing what should be done about the
worlds series. All seem agreed that
something must be done. They say
the lure of the worlds series coin has
driven players and magnates to money
madness and that unless the method
of conducting the series is changed
there will be q big scandal in baseball
before long.
Garry Hermann. chairman of the
national commission and president of
the Reds, is one of those who favor a
new deal in connection with the series,
and his plans are different from those
other baseball men have expressed.
Hermann told for the first time
what he hopes to do in connection
with the big games:
Hermann Talks
''1 don't know what will be done
about the series-the next one is too
far away" he said. But If had my
way about it I would fix it so that
every ball player in each major league
would share in the worlds series spoils
instead of giving all the money to the
II first would increase the series
from seven to nine games and allow
the players to share in the receipts OF
the first five games.
Next l would guarantee the players
on the winning club about 81, 800 each,
with S. 900 each going to the mem bers
of the losing team. That, L believe, is
sufficient reward for the few games
they play.
enough money left in the players pool
TO give each player of the second place
clubs $500.
Grading down, we could give each
third place player $400, each fourth
place man $500, fifth place $3.50, sixth
place 5000. seventh place $3.50 and
eighth place 500. This schedule might
be subject to revision, but / believe
the various sums would approximate
about these amounts.
Incentive to Players
"By distributing this annual reward
we would create an incentive for all
tho players to try to finish as high as
possible, as each position attained
would mean extra money.
"All of the club owners of both
leagues now share in the world series,
so why shouldn't all of the players?
twenty-five per cent. of the money
earned on the series by each club
owner is turned over to his league and
this reduces each clubs assessment.
II also believe that by stretching the
series out to nine games we could re-
duce the admission prices"

JOVIAN MASQUERS
CAPER IN PARADE
Electrical League Will Turn
Out in jolly Body For
Halloween, Oct. 81

Jovians of Harrisburg will be among
the hundreds of masked marchers who
will caper in the fantastic parade now
being arranged for the city-wide OBJ
servance of Halloween" Tuesday,
October 81.
The fantastic parade and big OPEN
air dance on Market Square had been
originally planned as the closing
Fall opening campaign, but a sudden
rain storm on the night set apart for
the celebration, threw mighty wet
curtain over the city and plans. Con-
sequently the committee headed by P.
H. Bailey, postponed the affair until
Halloween.
All organizations had been invited
to join with the free-for-all masque
and among those which have decided
to go in for the big night of gaiety
are the Mummers' association and the
Moorhead Knitting company en-
ployes. The league Is the latest or
ganization to go in for the big time
as a body.
The Jovians which comprise electri-
cal engineers and others professionally
interested in electricity, will also assist
in the arrangements for the big dance
and some unique costumes are being
designed for the masquers. Further
plans for the Jovians' participation in
the night of fun will be discussed at
the luncheon OF the league to be held
next Thursday evening at the Engi-
neers' club. The reorganization of the
league will be completed at that time,
too. Eighteen Jovians attended the
weekly luncheon yesterday afternoon.

DR.. Waite Fed His Victims
Malignant Disease Germs

New York, Mar. 29.-Cynical off
cial scrutiny was given today to DR.,
Arthur Warren Waite's wierd story OF
supernatural influence forcing him to
poison John +. Peck, his father-in-law,
and kill Mrs. Peck with fiendish con-
coction of malignant disease germs.
District Attorney Swami planned to
ask Mrs. Margaret Horton, close associ-
ate of DR.. Waite, if he had ever told
her about this sinister power, which he
described as the "mln from Egypt. -
If she never heard Of it before, Swami
is prepared to believe the whole yarn
an invention designed to bolster up DR..
Waite s insanity defense.
In confessing the double murder, DR..
Waite asserted that the "man from
Egypt" was an "alter-ego "a spirit
of evil come out of the ancient past
to fight with his own soul for posses
sion of his earthly body; He said this
astral being was always with him at
tempting to dominate his every act.
Sometimes, he declared, he ran miles
through the night, over fences and

escape from the baneful ineluenee. But,

Or. Waite said he visited morgues and
hospitals, seeking germs to kill Mrs.

an injection of many different germs.
When she was near death he gave her
morphine.
When it came time to kill Peck, DR..
Waite confessed he also tried germs on
him first but they worked so slowly
that he used arsenic. To conceal his
crime ne then tried to bribe an un.

DRAMATIC SCENES IN

One Lawyer for Defense
Broke His Hand and An
other Shed Tears

nedy today when the prosecution in
Rev. Madison Slaughter's trial put Ger
trude Lamson, aged Is, back on the
stand to testify she was not Slaugh-
ter's wife.
This was necessary in order to make
the state S case complete, according to
ruling by the supreme court. Ken
nedy contended that the girl could not
legally be recalled after 'fina ! argu-
ments to the Jury had commenced, and
many hard words were hurled before
Judge Gregory finally allowed her to
return and answer the inquiry.
1t is apparent the jury will begin
consideration of its verdict tonight.
The prosecution this afternoon began
its final appeal asking that Slaugh-
ter be convicted of attacking Gertrude.
The fight to recall Gertrude began
when the defense demanded that the
whole case he dismissed because it was
not shown that she was not Slaughter s
wife, Kennedy roasted Attorney Gen
eral Jones as being a school boy law
yer. He begged Judge Gregory not to
be ga fourth member of the prosecu-
tom Judge Gregory took offense at
this and made Kennedy retraet the re-
mark. He did so, then implored the
Judge to be a ''fair referee" and not
to let the girl appear in court again,
The lawyer wept, tears trickling down
his cheeks. and his voice was choked
with sobs as he cried
"T never asked a favor before, but
now do ask one. Don't put her back
on the stand.
Slaughter looked rather narrowed
when his counsel broke down. All the
oratory went for naught, however, and
Judge Gregory gave permission. With
quiet smiles of triumph the prosecutors
saw Gertrude demurely enter the room
and mounting the witness stand, give
the required testimony.
