day evening, and at the point of q
gun commanded her to enter his au
tomobile. When she hesitated, she
said, he seized her roughly by the
wrist and literally threw her into tho
tonneau of the automobile. The
baby fell from Mrs. Biehn's arms and
bruised its head on the floor Of the
automobile.
The kidnaper is then said to have
driven for some time and then to
have stopped at seth and NJ strets
After submitting Mrs. Biehn to j
close scrutiny he is alleged to have
ordered her from the car, saying:
You're not the one l want. Beat
it and keep STILL" He then drove Off
Remembers License Number
Mrs. Biehn made note Of the
license number of the kidnaper's car
and, as her assailant was unmasked,
she obtained a clear view of his fea-
lures. The car bearing the license re-
ported by Mrs. Biehn to the police,
No. 1921, was listed to a Maxwell,
transferred to a Ford, belonging to
Shincke.
When the officers, accompanied by
Mrs. Biehn and her mother-inlaw
Mrs. John Biehn, reached Shincke's
farm the man was not at home, but
out hunting. When he appeared
through the brush carrying a shot
gun Mrs. Biehn, gazing through the
rear window of the automobile, fain:
ed at the sight of him. When she
was revived she told the officers she
was absolutely certain that Shincke
was the man who had kidnapped her.
Submitted to severe grilling By
the police, Shincke denied al of Mrs,
Biehn's allegations and denied all
connection with the matter. He said
he had never seen Mrs. Biehn before
and had not ben in town for several
weeks. The last time he visited Ia
coma, he told the police, was when
arrested with a large number OF
other residents OF the Bald Hills On
charge of moonshining. His trial
on this charge has not yet come up
in federal court.
Shincke told the police he could
produce a perfect alibi. He is mar.
ried and has four children.
II never heard of anything so alb.
surd in my life," he is said to have
told police officers when they took
him to his cell, where he was held
pending further investigation. II, Q
man with wife and four children
held in Jail for kidnapping"

legal corps, will enter a plea of not
guilty to the manslaughter charge
and the case probably will be contin-
ued Indefinitely.
But 1t will be impossible for the
prosecution to complete its case

amount of money to be SPENT" Dep

mia movie stars, where rumors OF
"wild parties" have been brought to

taken to Los Angeles today, under
escort Of a representative Of an un-

al will be held at Hollywood some

GIANTS TAKE LEAD
BUT OTHER LEAGUES
ARE STILL KNOTTED
McGraw's Team Looks GOOd-Yanks
and Indians Fighting Hard
Coast League Upset

And still they're all knotted up.
The unexpected happened in the
Coast league and in the National
league but with decidedly different
effect in the two leagues. In the
American the champion Indians and
the battling Yanks are still fighting it
out, with neither team having any
edge. Fans the country over ara
thrilled as they watch the scoreboards
which tell the stories Of day to day
battles Of the leagues.
The unexpected in the National
league included the crumbling OF the
strong offense and defense Of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, leaders nearly all
season, and the rise of John McGraw's
Giants to heights from which the
Pirates have little chance of dislodg-
ing them In the few remaining games,
The Giants now have lead of four
and one-half games. They play their
last game with Pittsburgh today.
The Yankees have lead Of bare
fraction OF a game in the American
this morning, by virtue Of win over
Detroit yesterday. while Walter
johnson and the Senator'S were
crushing the Indians. This does not
tell the story of the past week. how
ever, for that period saw Cleveland
put an end to the string of defeats
that carried the Indians down to sec
and place and win seven straight
games, while New York took but four
out of seven.
The Yanks have the advantage OF
playing practically al the remaining
games at home, while the Indians
finish on the road The final result,
however, is likely to be told in the
next series between the Yanks and
the Indians which comes the latter
part Of this week.
The unexpected in the Coast league
was the upset of all four first divi-
sion teams by the second divisioners.
Portland and Seattle, stopped by rain
yesterday, are to play two games to-
day II the weather man will permit.
The series now stands Portland 4.
Seattle 8.
The Oaks mangled the Seals in
steam roller fashion during the week.
taking FIVE out of seven games. Los
Angeles, erstwhile leaders, lost the
odd game to Vernon in a seven game
series. Salt Lake took the odd game
from Sacramento. To complete the
record in proper fashion, Seattle
should divide with Portland today but
the Indians hope to take both games
and gain a little ground.
The remaining two weeks OF the
schedule give SEATTLE some advantage
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1921-09-23

over her rivals in the matter of games
at home. Los Angeles comes to Sc
attic for this weeks series, while the
rejuvenated Portland Beavers take
on San Francisco in Portland. Sac
ramento plays at Oakland, while Salt
Lake and Vernon mix at Los Angeles.
Seattle is the only one of the four
leading teams to play at home this
week.
Next week Los Angeles goes to
Portland to finish the season, while
San Francisco plays in Seattle.
Should the Seals continue to crumble
before Portland this week and then
lose in Seattle next week, the Indians
still have chance. Unless the Seals
take sudden brace they stand good
show Of being eliminated this week.
The Beavers are proving the reve-
lation of the league. Had they dis
played the form earlier in the year
that they are showing now they
would not be in the cellar. Their
pitchers are turning in swell games
day after day and their stickers are
clouting the offerings of the best op-
posing pitchers.
Seattle has arranged for great sup
port from the old home town for the
final drive. Some Seattle organiza-
tion has taken charge of each day for
the remaining two weeks. Right
down the line to the last day of the
season the fans are going to see If
they can't yell the Indians into the
1921 pennant.
Here's the way the standing looks

over 1919 of $2,24O.27, and over
1920 Of $14,250.3S are shown in a
comparative statement of costs in
the State Department Of Agriculture

the code), hay and grain inspection,
and farm marketing. Weights and
Measures are transferred from the
Secretary of State; Hay and Grain
Inspection from Public Service Com
mission, and Farm Market Director

ton for the first four months Of the
three years mentioned above, are as

cost the disposition of tuberculosis

to which the operation is conducted

appropriation was $4,000 and for
1921-1923 It is also $4,000. Actual
operating costs after the elimination

shows saving in 1921 over 1913
Of 32,24O.27. For 1891 over 800,
a saving of $14.25o,ss. These saw
ings are directly attributable to the
reduced number Of people, the
greater efficiency Of the smaller
