WORRYING OVER

Goslin Peeved About
Frisch's Three Great
Plays

NEW YORK, Oct. Up around
the Alamac Hotel, where the Wash
ington ball club is staying, even
the telephone girls are forbidden to
use the "voice with the smile.
1t was serious business this morn
ing, with the Senators trailing, ono
game to two for the Giants, and
young Bucky Harris puzzling over
the problem how to win ball
game without Walter Johnson and
Roger Peckinpaugh.
Roger Peckingpaugh, the doctor
said this morning, almost certainly
cannot play again in the series. His
leg, hurt as he sprinted TO first in
Sundays game at Washington, was
packed in ice and everything pos
sible was done. But the ligaments
were badly torn.
Walter johnson may have to pitch
sooner than lie feels like it, but
the big blonde twirler was not rea
dy for today's game except i'll event
of great emergency.
"Goose' Goslin strolled disconso-
lately out of the elevator, refusing
to read the morning papers. The
first three he had glanced at told
of frankie Frisch S brilliant circus
catches and what made the
GOOSE madder than the proven
bial wet hen was that all these
circus catches were made off him.
There are nearly 10000 rooters
from Washington in town and out
at the park there were $4,000 Wash
ington rooters. The New York crowd
never lost Il chance to howl its head
off for the Nationals and q couple
Of times started booing and fhyth
mic handc!apping against Hugh Nc
Quillan when the Giant twirler was
weakening.
Over back Of the Senators bench
some of the visiting fans organized
{, little cheering section as if they
were at football game. Their eff
fort was wasted by the roar of
cheers every time.
The Giants celebrated last night
as though they had their last
world IS championship in four years.
They spoke of themselves as Two TO
one shots and predicted they would
beat Walter Johnson again.
But the scandal turks around the
corner.

Paper Firm Here
Accused of Plot
to Fix Prices
Western Newspaper Union,
With Two Out.of-Town Com
panies, Named by Federal
Trade Commission.

The Federal Trade commission at
Washington yesterday charged that
the Western Newspaper Union Of
Omaha, with a Salt Lake City and a
San Francisco paper house, are in a
price fixing conspiracy in selling pa
per in Wyoming, Colorado. Utah and
Nevada.
1t is stated In the charges that
these three companies sell IS per
cent Of the paper handled In the
northwest.
They are given 30 days to file an.
swer to the charges.
Neither the home office of the
Western Newspaper Union, at Oma-
ha, nor its branches in some 40 other
cities, are even remotely connected
with any conspiracy or combination
in restraint OF trade" declared L. w.
Julian, vice president of the company.
last night.
1--WE have received word OF the i'll
ing of the charges and will certain
ly answer them before the 80 days
are up. The company will be repre-
sented by one of the officers at the
hearing in Washington.
1.-The Western Newspaper Union Is
out after all the business 1t can get,
which would not be true IL 1t was
in a price fixing combination"
f. II. Hoel, secretary for the Car
penter Paper company, denied that
firm was the one referred to by "a
Salt Lake City paper house."

Lower Rail Rates
Railroad Officials A SIX for
Coast-to.Coast Revision to
Compete With Panama
Canal Business.

New York, March 3.-Bankers and
today added their voices to those of
transcontinental railroad officials in
asking the interstate commerce COM
mission to permit revision of rail
rates which would meet the lower
water freight rates between Atlantic
and Pacific ports.
Today's hearing was a resumption
of the series conducted in many
cities, the last at Chicago. 1t is ex-
pected the New York session will
conclude tho commissions accumela-
ton Of evidence for and against rail
rate reduction.
Witnesses wer unanimous in declar-
ing that the existing differential in
rail and water rates was hurting the
middle west and that the carriers
should be permitted to reduce rates
to halt the diversion Of transcontin-
entail freight to steamship companies
operating via the Panama canal.
Rail Freight Diminishing.
]. E. Dawes, president of the Chi
cago association of commerce. sum
married. the testimony of other wit
nesses when he said:
There Is a constantly diminishing
shipment of freight by rail from the
middle west to the Pacific coast.
IF Panama canal transportation
hurts midwestern railroads. thereby
affecting manufacturers in the middle
west, we should have an adjustment
that would equalize the rail and water
rates.
Middle West Suffers.
I'VE want the people Of the middle
west to stay there. We don't want
them to bring their manufacturing
plants to the east because of cheaper
freight rates to the Pacific by water
than by land. We should have a
|coast-to-coast rail- traffic. The Pan
anna canal should be used to the
benefit OF the entire country. but not
Ito the detriment OF the central
states"
Robert Hula of the Chicago as
ISOLATION OF commerce asserted the
freight rates decision was keeping
Investment capital away from the
middle west, and that every manufac-
turer who could abandon his midwest

lantic coast was doing so.

Literature Big Asset
in Boosting Des Moines

In informing the world, iowa
and Des Moines of the good things
offered by the Iowa city. the
Greater Des Moines committee
makes use of literature, printed In
such a manner that the eye is at
once arrested.
For instance, there are two pleas
ing little cards Of white paper In
two shades of blue ink and bor-
dered by a red line. One of these
demands that readers know Des
Moines, 1.-THE City of Certaintles."
The statistics show the increase
in population due to the work OF
the committee. Number of jobbing
houses, factories. coal fields, rail-
roads, postal receipts, insurance
companies, publications. conven-
tions, colleges and universities,
miles of paved roads and value OF
Iowa farm land.
The other card requests that
Iowa should be known equally as
we'll. Statements dwell on the tax
able wealth of the state and the
value of farm land in comparison
with New England states. 1t 10
said that no point in Iowa IL more
than IL miles from railroad.

Des Moines
Shows Way
for Omaha
Staff Representative of The
Bee Investigated Iowa Capt.
tails System Of Building
Business.
Boost st---Never Knock"

One thing is certain: Des Moines,
including the common folk and the
leaders of thought, is sold on the idea
that the Greater Des Moines COM
mittee Is and has been of great bene-
fit in building Des Moines; making it
an important city of the central west
although it has but few large indus
tries and couple Of minor railroads.
A staff man from The Omaha Bee
went several months ago to Des
Moines to investigate the means by
which business leaders there were CO.
operating for the benefit of the city.
Quoting Ralph Bolton. member
of the committee for IA years, and its
directing secretary for almost that
length of time, he wrote in his report:
"Realizing that Des Moines has less
to build on than any city of the mid
die west. we feel that the Greater
great factor in making Des Moines
what 1t is today. 1t is the city's life
saver"
In a booklet Bolton says: The
Greater Des Moines committee has
paid 2,S13 per cent annual dividends
and a surplus" He aims to prove
this contention with actual figures.
How Des Moines Started.
The Greater Des Moines commit
tee was organized by newspaper,
the Des Moines Daily Capital. It's
publisher, Lafayette Young. sr., is
still active in its organization.
Here is the plan used in the organi-
zation:
Mr.. Young called a small group Of
retailers together and explained his
plan of organizing a special committee
of business men to stimulate interest
in Des Moines. The plan was ac-
espted and 80 prominent business men
were called TO conference. They
represented the leaders of thought in
the community. Retailers and real
estate holders were In the majority.
The committee was incorporated
and stock was sold to each member
at $40 share. The 80 men then Sc
lected list of 300 supporting menI-
bers. A quota was made up for each
in order to get the working budget.
Co-operates With Chamber.
The committee has working an
nual budget at the present time of
s35 1000. When special fund is
needed, for instance In getting Camp
Dodge from Omaha and in bringing
large conventions to Des Moines. a
special canvass is made.
The Greater Des Moines committee,
In makeup. is similar to Omaha's Ak
Sar-Ben board of governors. All cleo
tions. are made by a majority of the
committee. The committee perpetu-
ates itself the same as the Ak-Sar- Ben
committee.
The Greater Des Moines committee
aims not to step on the toes" of the
