VALUABLE HORSES LOST IN FIRE IN

 FIRE, BOMBING

CHICAGO, Oct, 2, (R)-The rac- ing stable of John Hertz, near Cary, H., was destroyed by fire last night. The stable chartered "Reigh Count" the 1928 Ken lucky Derby winner, and 14 other throuehbreds, some of which were lost in the fire. Their approximate value is placed at $200,00O. The fire was a mysterious one and possibly of incendiary origin.
 "Reigh Count who was generally regarded as the premier three-year old on the American track, was dis covered later, to have been saved having been brought unscathed from the burning barn by quick thinking on the part of "a stable boy, Jimmy Allen.
 Another star performer, Cham pion" a last year tWo-year old, was also saved

TANKS CRIPPLED AS TIE AMERICAN
 SERIES BEGINS
ODDS IN NEW YORK LOW AS CARDINALS SHOW VIM
 AND SPIRIT

NEW YORK, Oct, 3, (P)-The squad badly crippled, the Yankees will start the Worlds series with the Cardinals in the Yankee Stadium. With a more or less def mite announcement from Hug gins that Earle Combs is injured and that the center fielder will on- ly see action in the big series as pinch hitter, gloom prevails.
 The Yankee stock dropped to new low odds which frequently favored the Cards five to three"
 Altogether, there is little bett- ing as most of the American leag- ue partisans prefer to wait for even longer odds. To some obser vers it appeared, in reality, that the Yankees are occupying rather an enviable position and McKech- nie and his healthy Cardinals are the ones who should be dong all the worrying.
 In case of defeat the Yankees will be prepared to advance bet ter the second game.
 On the other hand the Card inals full strength will be needed t win the series, it is said, and even then they might not get the credit due them.
 Waite Hoyt will probably pitch the opening game for the Tanks and Wee Willie" Sherdel for St. Louis.

DEATH CALLS UPON
 THREE O[D TIMERS
 SHORT SPACE TIME:
FATHER TIME MOWS DOWN MEN KNHWN IN MANY CAMPS OF
 THE TERRITORY

By strange play of fate three old timers whoe span of life was practi- cally the same and who are we'll Fnow in many parts of Alaska, particularly about Seward, Anchor age and Hope have just passed away, news of the triple demise reaching Seward yesterday evening.
 Al Harper, whose age is placed around 62, died at Hope Monday night after an illness of several months. having suffered a paralytic stroke. The body of Jerome Hatch ey, 62, who has lived on Kenai Lake was found on the beach near a point about midway of Kenai lake. It was not generally known, put he has been missing for several days, owing to the fact that he was apt to be absent for a week or two at time nothing was thought of it.. Assistant District Attorney Clyde R. Ellis and P c. McMullen left Seward yesterday to proceed to Mile Is and thence by boat some 20 Lilies d@wn the lake tos invfsti- gate the circumstances of death.
 A. c. Craig, head carpenter for the Alaska Railroad, also about 62, dropped dead suddenly at Anchor = age Monday night after he had re- turned from a picture show He had apparently been in good health up to his sudden decease, having worked up to the time of his death.
 All three of these pioneers had lived in the North from 25 to 30 years.
 Harper mined on Cache Creek for 10 years with his brother Charl- cs, who is still in the mining game 1t Hope and Girdwood He lived here and in Anchorage and was we'll known to a host of friends. Funeral arrangements have not teen completed but it is considered probable htat he will be buried at Eope.
 Hatchey was an oldtimer on Kenai Peninsula and has mined in many camps. He is said to have come here in 1898 and was guide of survey of the old Alaska Central railroad. The cause of his death is not yet known but the body doubt less will be brought here for inter- ment. Little could be learned to- day as to his relatives.
 Craig was in Nome in 1900 and rad also been in many camps in Alaska coming to Seward and An chorage in the early days of the Alaska Railroad. He is survived by his widow at Anchorage where it is expected funeral services will be held.

THE fact that Alfred E. Smith re-
ceived more votes in Tuesdays ma
tional election than were ever poll
cd by any Democratic presidential
nominee before him does not de-
tract from the fact that Herbert
Hoover is the presidential choice of
the American people; 100000
voted for him. While ever regard
ing Mr.. Hoover as one of the most
cver-rated men in American public
life, this newspaper has always con-
ceeded that he is head and shoulders
above his recent Republican pre-
decessors and undoubtedly the best
man forward; otherwise they would
have gotten by with another Hard
ing or Coolidge. We shall now see
how the big Beaver Man as Hoover
is called, will get along with the pro-
hibitior, farm relief, immigration,
Muscle Shoals and other problems
confronting him. And we shall give
him everj opportunity to justify the
faith of the millions who supported
him.

There never was a tine When

attributed in large measure TO
the relentless warfare that this

VICTORY DEATH.
FOR THE KLAN

Ku Kiuckery will have less ex-
cuse to thrive in America under
the presidency of Herbert Hoover
than it would have under Alfred

Rosenwald, president of the great
mail order house of Scars-Roe-
buck G. Co.
Mr.. Rocenwald, who has been call
ed "the best Christian i'll Chicago
lined rrp for Hoover. On the eve of
Tuesdays election the editor of this
newspaper wired Mr.. RoSenwald a
suggestion that a vote fo: Hoover
was tanamount to a vote for the
Kr, Klux Klan. But Mr.. Rosenwald
thought differently; he believes that
with Smith removed from the poll
tical picture, the Klan If robbed OF
its thunder. without "NNct Tam

to the morons, the Klan will Wither

RosenWald. Mr.. RoSenwalds letter
to Editor Saunders follows
November 6, 1923.
Mr.. w. o. Saunders,
elizabeth City,
North Carolina.
Dear Mr.. Saunders:
"The sentiment which prompted
you to send your very kind message
to me has found a warm response.
IF I felt that the Ku Klux out
outweighed the other important
issues at stake in the election
would be in entire sympathy with
your suggestion, but to sacrifice al
the rest would seem to me to be un-
wise. I feel that outside of a few
states the Ku Klux menace is past
and whatever president can do tc
stamp out what remains, am sure
Mr.. Hoover will be as active as Mr.
Smith would be.
"I think there might be reason
to fear that Smiths election may
have a tendency to increase the
animosity of the Ku Klux to such
a degree that it would give them q
strong argument-why people should
Join the movement. In any event
7 have unbounded faith in the fair
ness in the American people.
1T is always a pleasure to heal
from you.
Il am, with kindest regards;
Faithfully yours,

All the preaching, Klan lcctur-
ing, Anti-Saloon League whisper
ing and Republican poison gas
vapOrings used in PaSquotank
County for months in advance of
Tuesdays election deflected only
1868 votes from the Democratic
party in Pasquotank. The figure
is obtained by subtracting the vote
given Seawell, Republican candi-
date for Governor from the vote
for Hoover.
Seawell got 42O votes, the normal
Republican vote in Pasquotank.
There we're 1873 votes for Hoover.
The difference between the vote
given the Republican candidate for
Governor and the vote given Hoover,
1868 votes may be taken to repre-
sent the converts made by all the
anti-Smiths combined. Against the
1853 Hoover votes in PaSquotank are
1863 votes for Smith. Pasquot'anK

TO "Hoover-Democrats." The fact
, that MIR. Warren ran l53 votes be-
hind Gardner may be taken to mean
that he made just that many quasi

candidacy by coming out foursquare
for Smith. But with 2,l45 votes IN
Pasauotank against his Republican
opponent's ABS, the young Congress

Currituck & Dare Bridge Corp
Finds Change in Original
Plans Probably Desirable

The three mile bridge over Cur
rituck Sound between Point Har-
bor and Kitty Hawk may have
its mainland terminus at Wild
Goose Park, on the Albert Gri-gS
property. and not at point 1000
yards above the present ferry
landing as originally planned. ac-
cording to information coming
from the offices of the Currituck
G. Dare Bridge Corp. In Elizabeth
City yesterday.
The promoters of the bridge plan
ned for the Western terminus on
the Currituck mainland to strike a
point about 1000 yards above Point
Harbor with a view to getting a
straight line to the nearest highland
point at Kitty Hawk. The driving
of test piles preliminary to asking
for bids for the building of the
bridge and engineers are now fisur-
ing OH a terminus nearer the Point
Harbor Ferry landing as possibly
a shorter airline route to
the Kitty Hawk side. This news
will be welcomed with much JOY by
residents of Point Harbor who have
contended at all times that the
bridge should have its mainland
terminus at the Point and not a half
mile farther North.
Plans and specifications for the
big bridge will be completed In a
few days and advertisement made
for bids for It's construction.
