Chicago, oct. 12.-The question OF
whatever the forty-one member ma
tons OF the league Of nations, will
disband to join a proposed "associa-
tion OF nations" was put to Senator
Harding today by Congressman Frank
E. Doremus. chairman of the mid
western headquarters OF the Demo-
cratic committee.
press reports state that on his
return from his western trip, Senator
Harding found some misapprehension
existing regarding his exact position
on the league of nations" Mr.. Dore-
mus said in n statement.
HE is again talking vaguely about
an association Of nations ignoring
the fact that the league of nations
is already set up and includes forty
one countries.
Does Senator Harding think these
forty-one nations will disband and join
his association?
"Thc only inference that can be
drawn from the senator's remarks is
that he is bush Lacquer, playing
with Mexico. Turkey and bolshevistic
Russia"

Three hundred of the "vacationing"
miners were employed at the Central
Coal and Coke Company's number six
mine, near Huntington, one of the
biggest producers in the district.

car shortage question and has been
adjusted.

OF advice from Tulsa as to whether or
not the miners Of the Hickory Coal
Company have returned 10 work.
Many mines throughout the district
were idle today due to the primary

the qualified voters of Ardmore,

they were unfamiliar with the af-
fairs of the present city adminis-
tration.
In all seriousness, one OF the
team captains related how he had
entered one Of the offices Of a
very prominent firm. and as soon
as the employees recognized the
blue-bound petition, they qUarreled
among themselves TO get first

Bobbe To Dad Pop Did You Know That This Columbus Day
BROOKLYN STILL
RETAINS ANGORA
Manager of Dodgers Says
Series Not Yet Won by
Cleveland Indians; To-
day Will Mark Epoch

Cleveland Oct. 12.--Battered and
bruised Brooklyn Dodgers and the
Cleevland indians, thrice victorious
over their National League rivals. in
as many days, were ready to face
each other today in the seventh game
for the baseball championship Of all
hemispheres, with the easterners de-
termined to turn the annual classic
to further games.
With the worlds series probably de-
pending on today's game, Manager
iris Speaker, guiding hand of the
Indians, were undecided early in the
day, as to what hurlers they would
select, but Indications were that Rube
Marquard would face the sluggers OF
the junior circuit and that Stanley
Coveleskie would be given the task
of carrying Cleveland through to a
worlds championship in today's game.
Coveeskie, twice conqueror of the
Flatbush players in the present series,
begged Manager Speaker to send him
to the mound, but George Uhle, side
arm hurler, who received his first
training on the sand lots Of Cleveland,
also yearned for a chance in the
battle, but Speaker, with only one
game in three needed, listened atten-
tatvely to the youngsters plea. Final
decision would not be made, however,
until just before the game, he said.
Robinson also indicated that he
might change his selection before
game time, intimating that Burleigh
Grimes, who shut out Cleveland in
the second game, but who was
knocked out Of the box Sunday. might
be given another chance. The prob
ability was, however, that Marquard
would be the final choice. primarily
because the Indians are considered
rather weak against left-handed hurl-
ers-a belief testified to by the two
splendid games Sherrod Smith has
hurled against the American Leag-
uers.
Speaker felt that he had the edge
on Brooklyn in the pitching, even
should Coveleskie lose today, he still
had Bagby to fall back on, with Uhle
and Morton in reserve and Malls
ready to go in again II necessary.
The latter, q youngster and weigh
ing close to 200 pounds, could easily
work again, Speaker said. Brooklyn,
however has not a pitcher who has
not been pounded by Cleveland.
Grimes, Marquard, Smith, Mammaux,
Cadore ard Pfeffer have either lost
or have been hit hard. The National
Leaguers, who came into the series
with q pitching staff famous for its
aces, today were handicapped for
hurlers, according to Speakers view.

he said, 1--WE are not going back to

BAD IN
COTTON SECTIONS OF
GEORGIA : ARKANSAS
NIGHT-RIDERS THREATEN GIN
OWNERS WHO PERSIST IN
HANDLING COTTON AT PRE-
VAILING PRICES

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 1.-THE shoot
ing to death yesterday of a negro
guard at a cotton gin in Arkansas,
numerous fires of undetermined ORR
gin in which cotton has been de-
stroyed, and widespread threats of
night riders to burn gins whose own
ers ignore warnings to discontinue
operations until the staple reaches
a price of 40 cents a pound, have re-
suited in the issuance of proclama-
tons by Governor Kilby of Alabama
and other governors and statements
of their position by Governor Dorsey
Of Georgia. and Cooper Of South
Carolina.
Governor Brough Of Arkansas, upon
being advised last night OF the shoot
ing of Nora Canada, in Loanoke
county, issued n proclamation re-
garding lawlessness in some Of Arkan-
sas counties growing out of the
prevailing low price of cotton"
The governor called upon the state
.adjutant general and sheriffs Of coun-
ties, "where there are likely to be
disturbances" to use all power at
their command to suppress these
night-riding outrages."
Posts of the American Legion also
were urged to cooperate with the
authorities.
The killing Of Canada, until last
night had been regarded by the au-
nAcCtb1., pt,turptvth Of
night-riding activities. as the owner
OF the gin at which the negro was
killed is said TO have received a
warning to close II. Two negroes
have been arrested and charged with
the killing, however, and one Of them
Is said TO have confessed that the
motive was robbery, refuting the the
ory OF any person guilty of the de-
struction of property.
This character of lawlessness de-
liberately violates one OF the fun
damentals for which government Is
established and threatens to substi'
tute for orderly government reign
declared.
Governor cooper. in u communi-
cation to I. w. Harris, soNcitor OF
the tenth judicial circuit of South
Carolina, deplored the acts Of fan
atics' and gave assurance that should
any situation develop which would
require extra effort on the part of
the state no would not hesitate TO
order Il.
Replying to suggestion from q
county sheriff, that the offer by the
state of reward for the arrest Of
night-riders In Georgia would have
beneficial effect, Governor Dorsey
stated that threats against property
in Georgia constituted a misdemeanor
only. and that under tho circum-
stances he was not authorized to
post reward. Tho governor de-
clnred, however. that in the event
property was destroyed a felony would
have been committed, and that he
would "be glad to offer the highest
reward possible under le~.
