RAILROADS PROTEST
TREASURY ruling
Appeal to President For Par
! tiaI Payments, Which
Warwick Refuses.
By the Associated Press.

~ liic ASSOC1aIoQ fIcSss
The railroads of the country an
pealed today to President Wilson
against the ruling Of the controller of
the Treasury that the Treasury De-
partment might withhold from the
roads all further payments due them
under the guarantee provisions of the
transportation act until final account
ing had been completed by the carriers
Controller Warwick ruled that
claims of railroads for income deficits
during the period between March / and
September 80, certified for payment by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for ess than the total deficit for the
entire period. could not be made under
the terms of the law. The controller
took the position that the income guar
antee to the roads must be paid in fun
and not by piecemeal.
Alfred P. Thorn, general counsel of
the Association of Railway Execu-
tives. explained today that the roads
had appealed to the President because
they believed the controllers ruline
was an erroneous construction Of the
law which, he said, clearly intended
that partial payments SHOULD be made
when the various amounts had heen
determined.
The controllers decision, he added
would work an undue hardship on the
railroads by postponing the guarantv
payments to them until the Anal re.
turns for each of the six months had
been calculated.

He obtained a judgment in the

Since the appellate court has de-

that decision until the United States

Dodgers Little DoWncast and
Still Are Chock Full
of Fight.
HOW THE TEAMS FACED.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, October IL
With the count in games three and
two in their favor in the battle for
the base ball championship of the
universe, the Cleveland Indians today
were facing the Brooklyn Dodgers
in the sixth contest of the series con-
fident of continuing their mad onrush
OF the past two days.
The Dodgers, somewhat downcast
over two successive drubbings, were
far from beaten in spirit, however.
With Sherrod Smith, the brilliant
southpaw who sent Cleveland back
from Brooklyn on the short end of
the third series game, down to huri,
they felt the turning point had been
reached.
Manager Iris Speaker is counting
on his youthful southpaw, Walter
Mails, to gain the victory. While
Mails has had only a brief major
league career. his work has been on
a par with that of the veterans.
The weather is clear and warm.
Bnse Ball Main Topic.
Back of the Cleveland team today
was a city which had lost interest in
everything but base ball. and which
no longer even gave Brooklyn
chance to win the series. On the
street corners. in the hotels, the res
taurants, the theaters and everywhere
the only su ,ject discussed was base
ball. and to Cleveland that means the
Indians.
There was. however, somewhat OF
a cessation of the tenseness which
characterized the city during the
early days of the big fracas. for the
fans seemingly. felt that they had
scaled Mount Olympus. and now had
only to sit back and enjoy the fruits
of their conquests.
Fan Voices Sentiment.
Harry McHugh of Cleveland. the
first in the line. voiced the sentiments
of many when he explained that il
really wasn't worth waiting ic line
all night, because Cleveland had prac-
tically won the series"
BY midnight, however. the line ep-
preached the proportions of previous
days. Experience apparently had
taught the walters several lessons.
