RUDE BENTON

Batters Safely and New

CICOTTE WAS HIT
RATHER HARD
Only Six Chicago Men Saw
First Base in Third
Game of Series

New York, Oct. ll.--Cheered on by
thousands of loyal rooters, the New York
Nationals turned desperately upon the
Chicago Americans in the third game of
the worlds series here yesterday after
noon and shut out their interleague ri
walls, 2 to O. 1t was an entirely different
appearing team that faced the White Sox
at the Polo grounds. For the first time
since the present struggle for titular
baseball honors began, the Giants fought
and won both victory and the breaks of
the game.
As was the case in the initial contest
in Chicago the struggle developed into Il
pitchers battle but yesterday it was
Eddie Cicotte who was forced to bow be-
fore the prowess of the opposing hurler
and the sweeping bats of the Giants.
Pitted against RUDE Benton, the star of
the White Sox hurting corps found a ri
val as skillful as he in delivery, as crafty
in generalship and who refused to allow
Cicotte's teammates run to ease the
strain Only six of the visitors reached
first, five on hits and one on felder's
choice, and OF these only two saw second

WILL NOT SURRENDER cocCHI.
Italy Refuses to Grant Extradition to
Murderer of Ruth Cruger.

Rome, Oct ll.--After long considera-
ton the Italian government has decided
not to grant the extradition OF Alfredo
Cocchi, who killed Ruth Cruger in New
York
The Italian government expressed re-
greet that it is unable to meet the wishes
of the American authorities. Emmanuel
Elmo, who has been acting as represen-
tatiye of the New York district attor-
ney, is now endeavoring to arrange the
sending of Cocchi to the United States
under arrest to give testimony in regard
to his reported association with members
of the New York police department.
Because of the provisions of the Italian
penal code and the lack of proof that
Cocchi was an American citizen, it was
indicated shortly after his arrest last
summer that his extradition probably
could not be brought about.

ENGLAND PLANS
TO SEIZE WEALTH
Capital for the War
Debt

London, Oct l0.--England is prepar
ing to conseript alphabetically
There has been a great deal OF tall
about CONSUMPTION of wealth in connec-
| ton with the war, but it has meant only
| high income taxes, excess profits taxes
and leyies of that sort The British gov
eminent yesterday had practically decid-
ed to take the next step and levy direct
| ly on capital.
Barring a change of opinion in the
meantime on the part of those respon
sible for the British financial policy such
levy will be made soon after the war
ends.
This, possibly the most radical fnan-
cial innovation that has resulted from
the war is due to the conviction that it
is, If not the way out, at least the best
way out from under the terrific financial
burden the war will leave the empire
At the end OF the war Great Britain
win face the necessity of providing two
and one-half billion dollars or more an
nual revenue II will cost half that to
meet the running expenses of the gov
eminent and the greater part of the
other half to meet the interest on war
loans. The estimate for pensions is now
a quarter of a billion dollars year
If the present revenue of the govern.
ment could continue after the war-and
the war ended now-it would meet the
expenses outlined. Last year close to-
three billion dollars was raised by taxa
ton
But seven hundred million of that was
raised by the excess profits tax, which
expires with the war Other large add
lions were from taxes not expected to
produce in the same ratio after the war
1t is roughly figured that taxation can
produce Sl,75O000,O00 after the war,
when $500 100000 will be needed
A levy on capital viii do it, in the
opinion of government officials They es
innate capital in private ownership has !
in Great Britain from eighty |
billion to one hundred billion dollars !
since the war began One plan is for
levy of 10 per cent of this-wiping out
half the war debt
The strongest argument for the plan
Is that it would not actually diminish
the nations capital, according 10 its pro-
ponents II would simply transfer own
arship Of part Of it to the state.

MUST CUT
FOOD PRICES
Important Executive Order

The Practices Are Illegal
and Must Be
Stopped

| Washington, Oct. ll.--About twenty
staple articles of food will be placed un-
der direct government control Nov. /,
according to an announcement by Her
bert C.. Hoover, who says prices must
come down. The act under which an ex-
ecutive order will be issued has been in
existence since Aug TO- and many prac-
tees defined as illegal and unpatriotic
have continued. Prices to the consum-
err have not gone down. In many cases
they have advanced largely through prof
iteering. This is especially true of meats
and canned goods. These practices, Hoov-
er says, must stop. To this end all meat
packers, storage houses, mllers, Gamers,
elevators and grain dealers, with whole
saers and retailers doing business to the
extent of 100000 or more annually,
must take out license. When licensed
they must conform to the requirements
Of the government order or be forced

knows of many swinding practices

have been buoyed unduly He is deter

NEW BASEBALL
ASSOCIATION
ORGANIZED

Twenty odd baseball enthusiasts
met in the Association Of Commerce
rooms on Friday of last week and
decided to organize the Covlngton
Base Ball Club for the season of
1917. Several novel ideas were sug-
gested in order to make the season
q success.
Games will be held ea:h Sunday
during the season on the diamond at
the st. Tammany Fair Grounds, ex-
cept Sundays when the team is play
ing out of town. The grand stand
will be screened so as to make 1t
perfectly safe for the ladies. 1t is
thought that in the new location the
attendance will be larger than last
year.
In order to raise the necessary
funds for financing the club the ''cou-
pom plan'' was decided upon. Cou
pons in denominations of $3.50 will
be sold and at the end of the season
the holders will be reimbursed to
the amount of coupons in their pos
session to be pro rated against the
amount advanced.
H. A. Mackie was elected treasurer
of the club and J. E. Stanga secre-
tary, ample guarantee that the as
sociation will be we'll financed. There
is a wealth of local baseball talent
this season and it is expected that the
club will be able to hold its own with
any amateur organization in the
