and the hour of the inquest placed al s o'clock today.
 Although Phelps was not seriously injured, he was suffering from shock when he came into town with Parker WoOdman. He expressed himself as being entirely to blame for the accident and regrets that it was his wife instead of himself who had been killed. He said that he should have known better than to have driven at such high rate of speed car with which he was not en- tirely familiar.
 The car, which was the latest model Hudson SuperSix Speedster was brought into town last evening. It was badly wrecked. part of the damage to it having resulted through a mishap oc- curing while it was being attached to a truck sent out for it. Demonstration Sisk said last evening that Phelps seemed to become confused when the rig appeared from the side road and did the very thing which would practically insure the turning over of any car trav- cling at a high rate of speed.
 The death of Mrs. Phelps is the fourth within as many days, in which automobiles or motorcycle figured. Three of these deaths occurred on North Central avenue, and the other, that of Miss Hazel Mcclure who was drowned when the niacnine in which she vas riding went in the Arizona canal, occurred a short distance east of the avenue.

Believe Campbell Killed

SOMEWHERE ON THE FRENCH FRONT, Oct. 15.-(By the Associated Press. )-Sergeant Andrew Courtney Campbell of Wentworth, H., member of the Lafayette squadron. who on Oc- tober 1 was reported missing, is now believed by his comrades to have been killed. The sergeant was accompanied on his last sortie by Sergeant Henry s. Jones of New York City. In com bat with three German biplanes the Americans became separated.
 A French pilot in a neighboring squadron reported that he had seen a biplane of the type Sergeant Campbell was flying as it fell in spinning nose dive inside the German lines. The re- port was corroborated by infantry hold ing trenches in that vicinity. As the reports coincide as to time and place it is believed the biplane which was seen to fall must have been Campbells.

the financial strains for which we must be prepared will depend very largely upon the strength and staying power of the federal reserve banks
 The state banking institutions for some reason have until recently seemed inclined to hold aloof. Congress a few months ago, prescribed very generous terms for the admission of the state banks into the federal reserve system which have removed the objections heretofore raised by state banks when considering members. As the law now stands, it leaves member state banks and trust companies practically undi- turbed in the exercise of all the bank ing powers conf.rred upon them by the states
 Many of the largest state banks and trust companies are now becoming members, realizing that to win the war we must conserve all of the physical financial and moral resources of our country-that our finances must rest in the firmest possible foundation and that they must be adequately and com pletely conserved so as to respond in Stantly to every legitimate demand. How can this necessary condition be i brought about and be made permanent | ly effective better than by the concen- 1 tration of the banking strength of our | country in the federal reserve system
 May I not therefore, urge upon the i officers and directors of all non mem
 Der state banks and trust companies 1 which have the required amount of | capital and surplus to make them eli
 gible for membership to unite with the ! federal reserve system and now and
 thereby contribute their share to the consolidated gold reserves of the coun- l try? 1 believe that cooperation on ! the part of the banks is patriotic du-
 ty at this time and that membership in
 the federal reserve system is distinct

DENVER, Oct. 15.-Denver's weeks campaign to raise $15,000.000 in sub scriptions for the second Liberty bond issues was formally launched at din- ner tonight addressed by Claude Wea yer, former congressman from Okla hOma. Tomorrow morning a gigantic parade will be held and then the actual solicitation of subscriptions will begin.
 Mir. Weaver was greeted enthusiastic ally by the Liberty bond volunteers as he pictured the necessity of over-sub scribing the quota set for Denver and Colorado. Most of the five hundred men and a thousand women who will conduct the campaign attended the dinner.
 The Denver committee plans to have workers visit every business house and every home in the city. The five hun dred men volunteers have promised to visit the 10000 business men in Denver and the women have set for their slo- gan, "onethird of the total subscrip- tiOn."

 There are probably eight or nine thousand state banks and trust com panies eligible for membership which have not united with the system. These institutions have it in their power to add enormously to the resources of the federal reserve banks, thereby broad ening and strengthening the foundation

A Big W ar.

This war represents four Ms
Men, Metal, Machinery and
Money.
The dominant thought now is
the tremendous seriousness of the
war upon which we have entered,
the proba bility that it would last
for some years, and the certainty
that it would take the resources in
men and money of the nation. 10
all of these facts the country must
be aroused or we shall fail to do our
part.
Some interesting facts in regard
to the amount of ammunition used
in the present war:
At Gettysburg the Union army
had 80 cannons engaged for three
days, which during that time fred
100000 rounds of shot. The same
number of guns of modern con,
struction could fire the same
amount of ammunition in seven
minutes.
The amount of ammunition
taken by Sherman on his march to
the sea, and intended to last him
FROM DC ober to January, wonld,
with the same number of 3-inch
guns, or the French "75's' be fred
in ten minutes.
We wish it were possible to con
vey not only to our readers, but to
every man, woman and child in the
country, the seriousness of the sit
uation as 80 strongly presented in
the dozen or more earnest speeches
made by the members of the Cab

addresses without realizing that

HERE 8 THE
GREATEST
SOUTHPAW
BY II. c. HAMILTON
United Press stan Correspondeu

NEW YORK June 16.-Selecting
the greatest southpaw of all time in
big league endeavor isn't a matter of
gathering the dope on Babe Ruth.
Ferdie Schupp. Ed Plank Rube Wad-
dell, Doc White and the others on down
the list Of off-handers who have made
baseball history,
Eddie Plank undoubtedly has built
himself pedestal on which he stands
pretty firmly in a class by himself. but
Waddell and White also attained
heights any youngster would be glad
to reach. With Waddeil it was more
of joke than anything else. but his
record is so hne-his ability too pro-
neunced TO be left out Of a line OF
huriers who have flashed wonderful
lot of stuff
It's hardly fair to say that Babe
Ruth is the games greatest left-hander
now. and it is equally unfair to say
that Ferdie Schupp-o of the Giants is
entitled to the palm. Ruth has done
remarkably well against National
league pitching. but Schupp never has
had the chance TO show what he could
do against the American league kind
So there is no chance for comparison
Doc White was one of the chief rea-
sons for the White Sox championship
in 1905. He and Ed Walsh between
them made the Fielder Jones reputa-
ton. When the two of them departed
from American league ways champion
ships among the White Sox became
very. very scarce
Waddell picked the Athletics up al
most by his own bootstraps and he
still was going great when he became
a member or the Browns. His gradual
decline until he found himself a North
ern Lacquer was just as brilliant. He
never did anything that didn't sparkle
His eccentricities and utter disregard
for training rules sent him to the minors
and finally to his grave.
Undoubtedly honors among south
paws should be equally distributed be
tween Plank and Waddell. both mem
bers of the Athletics when in their
primo.
