TO LOWER FREIGHT RATES
Judge Reed Says Reduction VIII Aver
age About 20 Per Cent.

Clyde NJ. Reed, chairman of the
Kansas public utilities commission,
said today that Kansas was practi-
cally certain to get lower freight rates
on horse shipments to markets in car
load lots, on broom corn shipments
from the fields Of production and on
vinegar from central Kansas as a re-
suit of the hearing before Examiner
Disque of the interstate commerce.
commission. The hearing was the re-
suit of the demand of the Kansas COM
mission for lower intrastate rates and
was closed Saturday night when the
state house lights went out and put an
end to the long wrangle.
However" Reed said, I'VE made IL
clear TO the railroads and to the COM
missioner that these reductions were
not all we would expect and that we
particularly would insist upon an ad-
justment that would give joint class
rate benefiting the interior Kansas job
bers.Y
The prospect of reductions on horse
shipments, broom corn and vinegar
came from an admission on the part
of the witnesses for the carriers that
these rates should be adjusted. Judge
Reed said the reductions in these rates
would probably average 20 per cent,
but that the understanding was that
the carriers were to make new sched-
ules on these and submit them to the
commission for approval

Nally, the American leaguers' third
sacker, "and as we have hard hitters
there is no reason why we should not
make a lot of runs for our hurlers.
Watch us today"
Long Batting Period.
The two clubs took long batting
practice, working out against right
hand pitchers. Ruths arm troubled
him and he appeared to tune his
swing with some difficulty. Nehf,
Toney and Shea took part in the bat
ting practice of the Giants while Hoyt
and Harper appeared at the place in
, Yankees practice.
McGraw's fighting Giants were
favorites with the crowd for the first
time as they entered the fifth game
of the world series today. The Giants,
1t was admitted, had the edge on the
Yanks in pitching. Their morale, too,
was of a higher order, for they have
proved their ability to come from be-
hind.
At noon, the crowd was smaller
than usual. The bleachers were only
half filled while the upper grandstand
was less than one-fourth full Monday
is not a good business day for base
ball even in the metropolis.
The advance guard of the Giants
was the first on the field this after
noon, coming at 1910 o'clock, led by
Jesse Burkett.

GET BANK BANDITS
Kill One, Wound Two After
Muncie, Kan., Robbery.
Citizens in Chase That Ended in
Kansas City.

Kansas City, Oct. 1o.-Three men
believed to be bank bandits were cap
tured after a running gun fight, which
began in Muncie, Kan, and ended in
Kansas City, Kan, today. The fight
followed the robbery of the Muncie
State bank by three men in a closed
motor car this morning. One of the
captured men is shot thru the head
and is expected to die. The other two
were wounded when captured.
Three men drove up to the bank IN
Muncie this morning and entering the
bank pointed revolvers at L. NJ.
Worthington, cashier. They took from
him about $500 in currency, then ran
for their car. AS they did so, J. l..
Frazier. a merchant whose store is
near the bank, looked out of his win
dow, saw the men in flight and pick
ing up a rifle, fired at the last of
them, just as the first two tumbled
into the car. The man fired at fell,
dropping his revolver, which Frazier
later recovered. The bandits then
headed east toward Kansas City, Kan
Meanwhile an alarm had been sent
out from Muncie to stations near the
interurban line which runs thru the
town. At Turner, Kan. where a bank
robbery occurred only last Friday. a
number of residents turned out with
revolvers and shotguns and fired at
the fleeing men, who returned the fire,
it is said.
Near Kansas City. Kan. two men
were captured. One of them had a
bullet wound in the head and was
barely conscious. The men are said
to be from Kansas City.
The automobile used by the bandits,
it was ascertained, had been stolen a
few hours before the robbery in Kan
sas City, Mo.
Police in Turner were notified by
telephone and as the bandit car
dashed thru that town, citizens opened
fire but failed to check the mad flight
of the robbers.
A few miles further on the robbers
were forced to leave the machine
They were tracked into the cornfield
which was soon surrounded by a
posse.

Hussey was appointed state fire
marshal of Kansas by Gov. Arthur
Capper in April. 1915. and he is one
of the few Capper appointees to go
thru the two Allen administrations.
He was reappointed by Governor Al
len at the beginning of the present
year.
In addition to being the oldest state
fire marshal in North America in
point of service. Hussey has the dis
tinction of being one of the leaders
in the national movement to make
the Fourth Of July safe and sane
and he was the first marshal in United
States to deputize school children and
make them his assistants in fire pre-
vention work.
In 1917 Hussey deputized all the
school children Of Kansas to aid him
in preventing fires. Each school child
was given instructions on fire pre-
venting and then each child was given
a commission to inspect the child's
own home. Blanks were provided on
which to make reports. and the plan
was so successful in aiding in fire pre-
vention that it has been continued
ever since.

on the mound was not as fine in the
tight places as that of Hoyt, whose
teammates made their hits count.
The Giants outhit the Yanks ten to
six.
Babe Struck Out Three Times.
The stick work of Schang, Ruth,
Bob Mcusel and Ward, coupled with a
base on balls to McNalIy, accounted
for the Yanks' victory. Ruth was
struck out three times out of four
times by the willy Nehf. but on the
other occasion he pulled the unex-
peCted by laying down a bunt and
beating II out, thereby starting a rally
that put the game on ice for the
Yanks.
The victory of young Hoyt puts the
Yanks very much into the worlds SER
les once more and they proved they
are n team of fighting players worthy
of the metal of their opponents.
Ruth, who got into the game again
today despite his sore elbow, is uH-
dOubtedly an inspiration to the Yanks.
He said he hoped to play the whole
series. He collapsed ON the bench to-
DAY after racing home with the run
that put the Yanks in the lead. but

their batting.
