OBSERVE COLUMBUS DAY
Closing of Banks Is Most Apparent
Feature of Days Program.

This is Columbus Day in Kansas In
this and two-thirds of the other states
in the Union October II is a. legal
holiday in observance of the 429th
anniversary of the discovery of Amer
lea by Christopher Columbus. In
Kansas, however, it is not legal holi-
day as to courts and notes.
The closing of banks was the most
apparent feature of the days observ-
ance in Kansas. Numerous knights of
Columbus lodges and other organiza-
tions arranged special exercises in
honor of the occasion. At Manhattan,
the Riley County Historical society is
behind an open air meeting in the
park.

BY TAD"

Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. H.
Migosh, boy, but it's cold today.
Columbus got a punk day for his
celebration.
The band is now playing "Au This
World Is Sad and Dreary.'
Believe me, without Ruth. the
Yanks look that way.
The mob today will break all at

jammed to the guard rails.
Walter Fields and Benny Bennett
are up in the back of the lower stand
singing that sweet ditty, "Of All My
Wife's Relations, Love Myself the
Best"
The Giants are favorites today.
They are Offering to 5 that the
Yanks run second.
Yank fans are a bit weak kneed
about bets. They want their big Babe
in before they'll wager.
The Giants are white today. The
Yanks, the visitors. wear the gray lay

GIANTS z YANKS |
Wards Error in Seventh Let in
the Winning Run.
Nationals Only One Game From
1921 Championship.
IT WAS PITCHERS BATTLE
Yanks Score in SecOnd-GiantS
in Second and Seventh.
Largest Crowd of World Series
at TOday's Game.

Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. 12.-
For the first timo in the 1921 worlds
series the Giants surged into the lead,
winning a pitchers battle by to
1 score this afternoon.
Almost from the start the game was
a pitchers battle of the most nerve
racl5ing sort. Douglas, with his spit
ball. won the decision over Carl Mays
The Giants took total of eight hits
off Mnys's delivery while the Yankees
got but six blows on the score board.
Wards error of an easy grounder
after two were out in the eighth and
snydcr's two-base hit laid the Amer
lean leagucrs low.
Giants Only Need One.
As a result Of Douglass victory, the
Giants need but one more game to
clinch the title. The series now stands
four games to three in favor of Nc
Graws men.
Mays was great in defeat, for it was
thru no fault~of his that the Giants
got the break in the luck that enabled
them to put over the winning run.
With two down in the seventh inning.
Aaron Ward, who had been playing an
almost uncanny game at second, boot
ed a grounder off the bat of Johnny
Rawlings, who later scored on a timely
swat by Frank Snyder.
The first score was made today by
the Yanks in the second inning. when
Pipp was sacrificed home by Ward
after he had slammed out a double to
tho west field fence.
The Giants tied the score in the
fourth inning when Meusel poked a
pretty single over Peck's head, bring
ing in Young, who had made first on
an infield hit and stolen second.
Polo Ground Sold Out.
New York's rival pennant winners
the Giants and Yanks, met in the
seventh game of the worlds series
here this afternoon before the biggest
crowd that has yet turned out to watch
them do battle.
One hour and fifteen minutes before
game time, the sale of unreServed
seats was stopped. The bIeachers were
packed to the gunwales and the upper
grandstand was sold out. Hundreds
of fans were turned away.
Weather Was Chilly.
Chilly, uncertain weather was dished
UP by the elements as the holiday
crowd. which promised to be one of
the biggest of the series, moved onto
the Polo grounds. A cold breeze,
partly cloudy skies, and a damp play
ing field greeted the teams. OVercoats
were mighty comfortable.

''WOman Bluebeard" Murder
Case May Be Drawn Out.
Death of Other Husbands
Brought Into Testimony.
ACCUSED PICKED HER TRIAL
Came to e. S. From Honolulu
With Sheriff Willingly.
But Only on Condition She Be
Taken to Idaho.

Twin Falls. Ida, Oct. 12.-Introduc-
tion of testimony was halted today
while attorneys for the state and de-
tense argue before court the question
as to whether or not evidence may be
admitted covering collateral cases of
Mrs. LYDIA Southard. who is charged
with having administered poison to
three former husbands.
County Prosecuting Attorney Frank
L. Stephan, in opening his statement
as to the purpose of proof in these COL
lateral cases, declares his intention to
prove that not only did Mrs. Southard
kill Meyer, for whose murder she is
on trial, but that she had admins
tered arsenic poison to Harlan c.
Lewis, who was her third husband ::
Gordon McHaffie. who is her second
husband; Robert Dooley, her first
husband. and Edward c. Dooley,
brother of Robert Dooley.
Other Cases Similar.
In all these collateral cases. said the
prosecutor, the symptoms of illness
were identical; violent purging. intense
pains in the abdomen, retching and
finally death in agony. The bodies
of all have been exhumed, said
Stephan. and in each there was found
a killing dose of arsenic.
Testimony as to these facts, said the
prosecutor, will be for the purpose of
Identification showing the intent of
the accused, her motive and purpose
since all the deceased had taken life
insurance payable to her, her purpose
her guilty knowledge and disclose a
common design and scheme. Such evil
dence, also, state claims, will act as
rebuttal in any inference of accident
or error on the part of the accused.
May End Trial Soon.
Upon the result will depend the dur
alton of the hearing. If the court
shuts out evidence as to these alleged
murders, the state will be able to close
it's testimony in the Meyer case within
the next day or two. If, however. the
court admits the evidence as compe-
tent, thoro inquiry will be made or
the stand as to the cause of death in
all the cases named, for their influ-
ence in the Meyer case.
The issue was induced when Deputy
Sheriff V. H. Ormsby, on the stand for
the state, sought to testify as to con-
versations he had with the defendant
on the trip from Honolulu, where she
was apprehended, in which conversa-
tions there were discussed relative to
the death of Harlan c. Lewis, whose
death in Billings was compare BILE with
that of Meyer.
Mrs. Southard had agreed to come
to the continent for trial, said Ormsby,
on condition that she be brought to
Idaho and tried on the Meyer case.
She said she would not. unless she
were compelled. go to Montana fol-
trial on the Lewis charge.

Columbus day brought out a real
holiday crowd. The uncovered bleach
ers were packed to capacity at noon
and the unreserved sections of the
grand stand were filling rapidly.
The early morning shower had
passed and there was a nip to the
bIustery breeze that swept over the
field. The playing surfaces of the
inner and outer gardens were in fine
shape.
Been Many Surprises.
The Giant-Yankee series has been
full of surprises. In advance of the
first game, everyone had it "doped"
that he terrific batting of the
Yankees would be an outstanding fea-
ture while the fielding and inside"
playing of the Giants would stand out.
So far, the reverse has been true. The
Giants have batted ,292 as a team,
whereas the Yanks are hitting .213.
Higgins men are fielding .982. as a
club. against .979 for the Giants and
they have made the greater use of the
sacrifice hit and have stolen more
bases.
Burns. Frisch, Kelly, E. Meusel.
Rawlings and Snyder are doing great
execution with their batteries Peck,
Pipp and McNally, members of the
famous 'murderers' row. have been
failures with the bludgeon and tho
Ruth has .353 average, he certainly
did not set the Polo grounds afire
during the time he was able to play.
Ruth's showing was excusable, of
course, for he played under a severe
handicap and could not do his best.
