Bruce said, as errors in checking may
develope. The National commission
pointed out that the league and club

the series did not go nine games, as
the Brooklyn club already had sold

Shanghai, Oct l2.-Deiayed tby Inc
Associated Press General Chang Tsa-

thrown the Picking government and pro-
claimed a monarchy, according to ru-
NOR current in this city. This rumor has
not been authenticated, and no details
have been received here, but Chinese
officials have been profoundly stirred by
it.
General Chang Tsao- Lin was probably
the strongest military leader during the
recent Chili-Anfu conflict and was ac-
cused of being a tool OF the Japanese.

ported coup is an effort to restore to

his action was due to developments at
Peking. His death, it is believed, will
have far-reaching political results.
In connection with the lack of authen-
ticity of the Shanghai rumor of the
Peking overture, the fact may be noted
that Tuesday a message was received
from the Associated Press correspon-
dent In Peking dated October II, the
same date as that on which the Shang-
hal cablegram was sent, The Peking
message contained no hint of any gov
ernmental complications.
The president of the Chinese republic
is Hsu- -Shi- Chang, who was elected in
August. 1918, and inaugurated in October
Of that year. The cabinet, formed Aug

NUMBER OF NEEDY
 NOW INCREASING
Salvation Army Needs Funds
 To Help the Poor

"The Salvation Army takes care Of the poor This is often heard on the street and in the home. It is true of course. but the amount of work that the Army can do depends upon the generosity of the public. The Salva- ton rmy Christmas kettle has made iaa appearance. A fund of $500 Is needed to assure that no man, woran or child will want during this, the gitt giving, holiday time. As yet less than one hundred dollars has been dropped into the red iron pot. Is the pubic forgetting that Putnam has poor fam flies?
 When asked if the present lack of work affected the condition of tami- lies in Putnam, Captain Carpenter of the Army said that it did. He told a Patriot representative that there are families in this city who have been 30 reduced in financial circumstances through lack of work on the part of the bread winners that father and mother and the children are suhsist- ing on bread and molasses and often there is no molasses. In other homes the people are too poor to burn kero- sene oil and have resorted to candles for light They retire early in the evening to reduce even this small ex pence.
 People who live in homes where plenty surrounds them do not always stop to consider that such things eN ist in a little city like ours. But ,h' Salvation Army members are in toucf with such conditions and can cite in stance after instance where there i' need and want Even bare sustinane' has to be furnished. Sometimes per haps there are many children. Fla thers have died and mother Is tryins to keep the little family together Work is not plentiful. Perhaps none a all or possibly a few days or hons ; week. If the public could be mada t sec these conditions as the member of the Army see them, the $500 wont be swelled to thousand or mon within a short time
 It will take all of $500 to see tha families have good substantial dinner on Christmas Day and to carrying O the work through the winter months furnishing warm shoes. stockings an, such clothing as possible for the chii dren. The money must come from thu public purse. IL is true there ar' many demands upon the poeketbook but to forego one luxury might af ford a family a Christmas dinner.
