World Series Now Becomes Sub
ject for Much Strategy.
Pitchers for Giants and YankS
Must Carry Burden.
MAYS MAY CLIhCH VICTORY
More Riots of Swatting Are Ex-
pected by Experts.
Giants Have "FOund7 Three
Yank HurlerS.
BY SID MERCER.

New York, Oct. S.-The world series
now veering into interesting complica-
tions, enters the secondary stage to-
day when the pitchers begin to re-
peat.
1t is hardly likely that John McGraw
will start Toney again soon, tho he
worked less than three innings yes
terday. Therefore, Carl Mays and
Phil Douglas were scheduled to grips
this afternoon. Probably Nehf and
Ioyt will take an encore tomorrow.
Miller Huggins may be taking a seri-
GUS risk if he filings Harper against
the Giants. Harper failed him in the
Cleveland crisis and if the Yanks alb
sorb another beating, the Giants will
again be established favorites.
Mays May Cinch 1t.
Mays is a big strong fellow who can
pitch every fourth day and retain his
effectiveness. If the Yanks can put
him over a second time, they will be
riding pretty. This is the spot for
Higgins to lead his ace.
With Shawkey and Quinn eliminated
for the present, the Yanks must draw
either Mays or Harper. McGraw used
up Barnes yesterday and must choose
Toney or Douglas next. "Shufflih'
Phil" might do better with a three-day
rest. He went the route on Wednes-
day and it took something out of him.
Now that the Giants have emerged
from their scoreless trance, the re-
naming games are likely to be less
featured by good pitching than by
sharp hitting. >Old timers who have
studied the psychology of worlds
champ mpionship games predict that none
of the leading pitchers will come back
with stronger games than they intro
duced themselves. They are willing
to gamble there will be no more shut
outs. The Yanks will hardly be
blanked if McGraw's pitchers continue
to pass Ruth.
From now on, therefore, the series

BOY FACES CHARGE
rteen-Year-OId Accused of
Numbering Girl of Eleven.
Held by Police Despite Denial
and Straight Story.

Madison, N. J., Oct. s.-A 14-year-
old boy, Francis KluxeE. il, in spite
of his prOtestations of innocence. to-
day stood accused of the brutal mur-
der of Janette Lawrence. the 11-year-
old girl whose body was found in the
Kluxen woods near her home here.
Belief was expressed by the police
that another person was implicated in
the crime and a second arrest was ex-
pected today.
The boy was arrested by the Madi-
son police after he had been kept I'M
der surveillance all day and confined
to his home by his parents at the re-
quest Of the police. Arraigned before
Recorder Schoneberger, he was COM
mitted to the county Jail to await ac-
ton by the grand jury. He was grilled
in the Madison Jail during the night
and was taken to the county seat this
morning.
The boy persistently reiterated his
denials of guilt. He maintained that
he knew nothing about the murder.
Police officials did not disclose upon
what they based their accusations.
''They haven't a thing on the boy"
his father. who is wealthy and influ-
entail, said. How could he come into
the house, quietly eat his supper and
go to bed after a crime like that? 1t
is impossible. I am satisfied he is
perfectly innocent. He told a straight
story to the police"

All-Nfght Search for Lone
Bandit Proves FruitIess.
Hired Car and Went Into Bank
and Took All Cash.

Turner. Kan, Oct. SIN spite of
an all night search, no trace had been
found early today of a lone robber
who late yesterday held up the cashier
of the Turner State bank here and,
after scooping 1851 into a canvas
bag. escaped.
The holdup was one of the boldest
ever attempted in Kansas. The rob-
Der had hired two youths in Kansas
City, Kan, TO drive him in an auto
mobile to Morris. AS they passed
thru Turner, he told the young men
to step near the bank as he wanted to
transact little business
He then entered the bank, held up
the cashier and, with all the currency
stacked up in the cage slowed safely
in his bag. calmly walked out, seated
himself in the car and told the youths
to drive on.
They never suspected there had
been a robbery until a posse, giving
chase, began firing at their car after
they had leisurely proceeded a few
miles out of town. The robber, seeing
the pursuing car was gaining finally
leaped from the automobile and dis
appeared in the woods.
Thirty minutes later. a posse was
beating thru the woods, but no trace
of the robber could be found.

ROW over RATES
Charges of UnprOfessiOnal Con-
duct Made at Hearing Today.
Chairman Reed Clashes With
General. Counsel for Santa Fe.
CHARGES VIOLATION OF FAITH
Display of Bitterness in Argu-
ments Before Commissioner.
Final Testimony in Freight
Case May Be Submitted Today.
CHARGES VIOLATION OF FAITH

Charges of unprofessional coEduct.
breaches of personal etiquette ard vio-
lations of personal confidence were
hurled across the tables in the freight
rate hearing today when Cha ,rman
Clyde NJ. Reed of the public utilities
commission clashed with James l..
Coleman. general counsel for the
Santa Fe railroad. Reed charged the
railroads with violation of faith and
breaches of etiquette when he was sud-
denly called to the stand before Ex-
aminer Disque, of the interstate COM
merce commission. In the heated
controversy which followed Coleman
declared that Reed should be barred
from the hearing room.
Frequently Reed and the railroad
lawyers have clashed during the rate
hearing. Today, tho. there was d real
display of bitterness when the rail-
roads unexpectedly opened a big hole
and threatened to push the utilities
commission chairman into it. Reed
saw the hole and SHE'D away. Then
war started when Coleman fail ed to
fore Reed to an admission regarding
his course in the rate cases and called
him to the witness stand to make his
statements under oath.
Photographic Copies Produced.
Immediately after Examiner Disque
opened the InlFO dey nearing Oh the
freight rate case for the I. c. c., Cole
man opened his file case and produced
Photographic copies of several docu-
ments. One of them purported to be
a petition which Reed was declared to
have filed with II { interstate COM
merce commission asking interpreta-
ton of the Kansas rate order.
The exhibit was vitality important
to the carriers. 1t tended to substan-
tiate Coleman's claim of the previous
day that offering of the cement testi-
mony by the public utilities commits
sion was a rehearing of a case now
pending and one recently submitted
to the supreme court. Coleman asked
Reed to admit the identity of the doc
ument which had been photographed.
81 won't admit anything" said the
commission chairman.
''Then will you examine this and
see if it is a copy of the original which
was filed with the I. c. CT"
Il don't know that I can tell with
out a word for word comparison
And then Reed boiled over. What
is more this document has no place
here. If you want records of the in
terstate commerce commission, you
should offer the originals
''Very well,'' retorted Coleman.
Take the witness stand.'
Reed Take Witness Stand.
Reed glared at the railroad lawyer.
Then he walked to the commissioner S
desk and took the oath. Immediate
ly Coleman offered the exhibit and
asked for it's Identification. He
sought a direct answer. But Reed
said he would answer the question in
his own way-and he did. All OF

purchased the interest of II. G. West
in the Farmers National bank. of To-
peka. and will move here with his
family. West said today that he has
made no definite plans for the future,
but that he probably will not continue
as president of the institution.
West organized the bank in 1913,
taking the presidency and to him in
great measure was due the growth and
strength of the institution. He began
his career in the Cloud County bank,
at Concordia, in 1898, working up
from the bottom to the position of
assistant cashier. He then went to
Junction City. where he organized the
Home State bank, becoming cashier,
coming to Topeka in 1913.
Scoville has been president of the
Citizens State bank at Seneca since
it's organization in 1883. He has de-
sired to purchase some Topeka bank
ing interest for many years, it was
said. There will be no change in the
personnel of the bank employees and
officers, with the possible exception Of
the president. it is reported.

Work, Play, Lo0e
Are the Essentials
Says Chancellor

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. S.-Work,
play, love and worship are the four
main essentials to be emphasized in
students life, according to Chancellor
2. H. Lindley of the University of
Kansas
Work represents at its best ones
contribution to society" said the
chancellor. He emphasized the i'm
portance of doing even more than is
expected.
Play is as sacred as work and every
one should plan some time for recrea-
ton, Doctor Lindley declared. Some
people, he said, do not know how to
play.
Concerning the essential love" the
chancellor continued. "our affectional
life needs cultivation and the art of
friendship also requires it.
worship IS a point that the stu
dent should not overlook I have
never found a man who, having re-
ligion, did not make good.''
