w.
lis method of working often placed
IL tasks before him the magnitude
Of which the reader Of his writings
can scarcely imagine. Thus, In order
to write about twenty pages in "Capi-
tap on the protection laws of the
English workers, he had to work thru
an entire library of Blue Books con-
tanning the reports Of the investigat-
ing committees and of the factory in
spectors of England and Scotland. He
read them from beginning to end, as
Is evidenced by the numerous pencil
marks that he made in them. He
counted these reports among the most
important and most significant docu-
ments in the study of the capitalistic
method of production and held such
a high opinion of the men who had
been entrusted with them that he
doubted whether one would succeed
in finding such experts in any other
nation of Europe, men so impartial
and unpersuadable as the factory in
spectors OF England" He has paid
this brilliant acknowledgement to
them In his foreword to Capital"
Marx drew a wealth of information
from these Blue Books which many
members of the lower house, as well
asrof the house of lords, to whom they
had been distributed, used as targets
at which to Shoot in order to measure
the force Of percussion of their weap-
ons by the number of pages that the
shots penetrated. The others sold
them according to weight; and that is
the most sensible thing they could
have done, for this custom made it
possible for Marx to buy them
cheaply from dealer in old paper in
Long Acre, whom he visited from
the latter's books and waste paper.
Professor Beesley declared that Marx
was the man who had made the most
use of the official Investigations Of
England, indeed, the one who has &C
quainted the world with them. Pro
fessor Beesley, however, did not know
that before 1S45 Engels had taken
numerous documents from these Blue
Books, which he had used in the
composition of his book on the con-
dition of the working classes in Eng
land.
In order to know and love the heart
hD nf "a
scholar one had to see Marx in the lap
Of his family after he had put aside
his notes and books and on Sunday
evenings In the company of his
friends. He then proved to be the
most agreeable companion, full Of
wit and humor, and one who could
laugh whole-heartedly His black
eyes, over-arched by thick eyebrows,
sparkled with joy and mocking irony
whenever he heard a witty word or a
ready answer.
He was a tender, gentle and consid-
crate father. 1.-THE children must ed
ucate their parents" he used to say.
Never in the relations between him
self and his daughters, who loved him
very much, had even a shadow OF
paternal authority made itself visible.
He never commanded them, bur asked
them for whatever he wanted as for a
kindness, or he suggested that they
forbear from that which he wished to
forbid. And yet there was seldom a
father who was listened to more than
he. His daughters looked upon him
as their friend and chummed with him
as with a comrade. They did not call
him father" but "Mohr," nickname
which he had received because Of his
dark complexion and HIS raven-blach
hair and beard. On the other hand

THE WTAPHoNE IN NEW YORK.

TIE W J SNTFtOtNE I'm NEU ''hN'
THE vTTAPHoNE has taken New
l. York by storm. In addition to
Warmers Theater where It has been
playing for several months It can now
be seen at the Colony Theater, both
of which are packed to capacity at
every performance.
Thru the vitaphone, the talking
moving picture has at last come into
it's own, leaving the experimental
stage and becoming a bona tide means
Of entertainment. Its future posi-
bilities are endless. There is no see
ing at present what its future will
bring.
One thing, however, that is appar-
emit at present is that 1t will elimin-
ate the orchestras and organs in the
future from the picture theaters. At
both theaters where it is playing there
is no other musical accompaniment
for the feature pictures that follow
the vitaphone prelude, except the vi
taphone orchestra, which is part of
the film and is superior to the best
orchestra because it is able to keep up
with the action of the picture, includ-
ing the smallest detail in remark
able fashion.
At the Colony Theater, where the
Vitaphone brings talking pictures Of
Elsie Janis, AL Jolson, George Jessel,
Renal Werrenrath and Willie and
Eugene Howard to us, the audience is
kept spellbound as they sing and tell
stories, almost every word being as
clear as tho they were on the stage.
After the intermission sgd Chaplin is
seen in- an unusually funny comedy,
''The Better ole" with the Vitaphone
furnishing the music.
The program at Warmers Theater
includes Giovanni Martinelli, Mischa
Elman, Anna Case, the Metropolitan
Opera House Company chorus and the
New York philharmonic Orchestra,
Henry Hadley, conductor, in Vitaphone
numbers followed by John Barrymore
in 'Don Juan"
All and all. the vitaphone is the
beginning Of a new epoch in the his
tory of moving pictures.

Win Over Jeffries at the
Floral Avenue Grounds
on Saturday.

Although outhit, the Regui IRIS,
playing Jeffries in an exhibition
game at the Floral avenue ball
park Saturday afternoon, won
by score of Al. Pleasantville's
hits came when they were needed,
while the visitors hit when it
didn't mean anything.
Leo Wise, pitching for Jeffries,
managed to hold the home talent
to the four hits they got, while
Ray Steinader, late of the Pirates
and Phillies in the big show, hurl-
ed for the Regulars, and at the
end of the day turned in his card
as the winning pitcher. The hits
obtained from Steinader didn't
mean much, as he frightened up in
the pinches to hold the Jeffs with
out too many runs.
1t might have been a scoreless
day as far as the Jeffs were con-
cerned If Lefty Rickert, who one
time made the mainland his home,
had not hit a home run in the
sixth for his teams only score.
Hopkins also hit a homer for the
home club, scoring George Ober-
holzer, who had singled.

The Pleasantville Hardware Co.,
after careful consideration of the
need of the community, have de-
cided to go extensively into the
Builders Harware line. This will
require lots of room. To do this
in their already congested store,
they are staging a complete close
out of all China, Glassware, House
Furnishings and Toys and are
starting this week, Thursday, a
big sacrifice selling event with
such low prices that fourteen days
after the sale opens, every item
in those lines will be gone.
To-day's paper contains big
double page ad. giving details of
the big event. Mr.. J. R. Robert
son, of the T. K. Kelly Sales Or
ganization, has charge of the big
Carnival of Bargains, and he
guarantees to the people of Pleas

U. G.. l. comes to P,easantville
with a strong nine and a good rep
utation, and should give the locals
quite fight for it.
The attendance at the games
played at home this year has not
been so very good, and the man.
agement of the club here states
that If a good team, one which
will continue to lead the league
and bid strongly to win it, is to be
continued, more must turn out for
the games.
Pleasantville has won the last
FIVE games played and is now tied
for first place with the strong
Jeffries team of Atlantic City.
Manager Wilson has gotten to-
gether a good baseball team and
there is every prospect that it will
win most of the games this sea-
son. Something went wrong in

the game on the home grounds
with the Jeffries team, and it Is
hoped that this will not happen
again, as lot of the fans We're
disappointed. 1t was great game
to watch. The pitching of Ray
Steinader was wonderful and all
the boys played their best behind
him.
With reference to the game Sat
urday, fans are cautioned to make
full allowance for fast playing on
the part of Winslow. The Wins
low club is not easy. Those who
witnessed the game at Winslow,
Sunday, saw that it took Pleas
antville II INNINGS to win. Fans
are urged to attend the game Sat
urday, Although Winslow has
won only one game, it is a good
hitting and fielding club and is
certain to provide a game worth
seeing.

Millyille, dOwned by Egg Har-
Dor at the Wine City, Sunday, lost
it's lead in the South Jersey league
to Pleasantville and Jeffries, both
teams winning their one contest
scheduled yesterday. The local
club beat Winslow at Winslow
Junction, score "a, while jeff
ries turned back Hammonton in
the resort, score 81.
1t is good thing the exhibition
game Saturday played at the park
here didn't mean anything, other
wise the regulars would have been
away at the head of the league,
instead of sharing honors with an
other team in the circuit.
Marshall Payne pitched the To-
cal club to its win over Winslow,
which now holds the position at
the cellar end of the league stand
ing. Turning in his third straight
victory, he allowed ten hits, but
kept them well scattered with the
exception of the first and eighth
innings, when the losing club
scored all of it's runs.
Winslow managed to get more
hits than the Regulars, but they
didn't mean anything, as the home
club played excellent ball in the
pinches, when it held the Winslow
club without scoring enough tc
put the game on ice. Two 'uns
scored in the ninth by the Pleas
antville sewed up the game.
Ty Helfrich made three hits,
scoring two runs. The box score:

FLETCHER CHOICE OF
SPORTS WRITER'S FOR
PIRATE MANAGEMENT

NEW YORK, Oct 22-(P)-Basebal
row, encouraged by it's success in beat
ing President Baker to his announce
ment of Stuffy McInnis as manager of
the Philadelphia Nationals, is buzzing
again. The dopesters had the widely
travelled McInnis booked as Arthur
Fletcher's successor nearly week be-.
fore the president of the Phillies took
the public into his confidence.
Advancing from a little retail fore
casting to predicting on wholesale
scale, the informal baseball experts to-
day were assigning managerial jobs
right and left They insist that
Fletcher, released by the Phillies will
move over to Pittsburgh and take up
where Bill McKeohnie left off. Lee
Fohl, retiring as manager of the Bos-
ton Red Sox, was suggested as coach
for the Pirates, taking care of two de-
posed managers at one fell swoop. Al
minority group, however, thinks that
Frelz Clarke will be formally named
manager for Pittsburgh, although he
already handles much of the clubs
business responsibilities.
George Moriarity, American league
umpire, is persistently mentioned as
manager, possibly as FohPs
successor at Boston. President Phil
Ball must find a manager for the st.
Louis Browns, but a powerful rumor
that Bill Killefer, former Cub manager
and now Cardinal coach, would set the
place, seems to be losing force. The
unofficial traders have already swap
ped George Sisler, former Brown man.
ager to the Philadelphia Athletics for
two pitchers, identity not revealed.
Rumors that Dave Bancroft will
leave the Boston Braves and Iris
Speaker and Ty Cobb desert the Cleve-
land Indians and Detroit Tigers, re-
spectively, have died down, indicating
that the open season for managers has
closed with two casualties in each
league 1t is certain that the st. Louis
Browns, and Boston Red SoX in the
American, as we'll as the Pittsburgh
Pirates and Philadelphia Nationals
will have new managers, but only the
Phillies have one signed so far
Bill McKechnie's friends say that he
can have major league club if hel
wants it.
