ing in the newspapers. Upon question
ing the suspect as to whether the Baker
girl he spoke of was the same girl who

This story was told to Lieut.. Kelly

ROCKVILLE, Md, September 26.-
When the officers of registration for
the various election precincts of Mont
gomery County finish revising the regis
tration books on Tuesday, October Z,
for which purpose they will be in ses-
sion exclusively on that day, the lists
will, according to leaders of the two
parties, show several thousand fewer
names than at the beginning Of the
days work.
Both the Democratic and Republican
workers are Just now busily engaged in
scanning the lists for names that should
come on, because of death, removal or
improper registration, and 1t is stated
that both parties will submit lengthy
lists Of suspects" Just before the regis
trars conclude their work next Tues
day, on which day they will sit to reg
ister and transfer qualified voters.
It is understood the Republicans exS
pect to cite more than 1000, and the
Democrats also large number, and all
on these lists will be notified to appear
before their Registration Boards the
following Tuesday and show cause why
their names should not be erased.
When a suspect appears, he cannot
be stricken off unless both registrars
agree, but when cited person fails
to appear his name can be erased upon
the insistence Of only one member Of
the board.
Persons aggrieved by the action Of the
registrars may appeal to the Circuit
Court.

BISHOPS ACCUSER
SAYS FIGHT HUMAN
Rev. CoSten ]. HarreIl Fails
to Mention Cannon in Con-
ference Address.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Rev. Costen j. Harrell of Richmond,
Va, one of the four ministers of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South who
have brought charges against Bishop
James Cannon, jr., told the Baltimore
Conference of that church here today
at The Mount Vernon Place Church that
he supposed controversies in the church
must be, because we are human"
The clergyman did not mention the
complaints against Bishop Cannon. With
Rev. Forrest j. Prettyman of Baltimore
he last night expressed belief Bishop
Cannon would not be able to have the
investigation they sought set aside.
But one thing that we can do is
this" he said to the meeting today: I'VE
can prevent these controversies from
turning our minds from our chiet busi-
ness-that of feeding mems inner. life'
Bishop Cannon, now on his way to
the United States from Brazil, told the
Associated Press by radio he would file
a protest on the ground he had not been
conferred with before the charges were
filed.
The four ministers advised him of
their action by cable, and, they said,
his reply constituted acknowledgment
of the charges. These are now in the
hands of Bishop Ainsworth of the Col
lege of Bishops, who may appoint a
committee. to pass on the advisability
of holding church trial.
DR.. Prettyman expressed the opinion
that on the basis of their investigation
I'VE have neither the moral nor the
legal right to hold up the process until
all the facts pertaining to this case are
hrOJlpht irt0 fllli reViPW -
The two churchmen refused 20 divulge
their charges. Bishop Cannon success
fully faced an earlier group of charges
brought against him on the basis of his
political activities and stock market
transactions. The new allegations are
understood to cover these activities and
also to take in other aspects Of his
conduct.
The present case, Dr. Prettyman said
Is the first in the Southern Methodist
Church in which a bishop has been
cited for trial In this manner.

He contended that Wozniak's testimony
as well as that Of other workmen, to-
gether with the report of a man named
johnson in charge of rs guards at the
plant, proved conclusively that the fire
was caused by sparks resulting from
friction between the steel shell and the
iron pulley of the cleaning machine
Wozniak never had declared that the
flame came from the inside of the
shell, the German counsel said, but IL
only seemed to him that the flame burst
from the interior. He could not see
the streak of sparks behind the clean
ing machine, Tannenberg said calling
attention to the fact that other work.
men did observe the sparks. The testi-
mony OF workmen other than Wozniak
was not produced by the claimant com.

produce these contemporaneous state
ments weakened the American claim.

OF East's Clubs in A. L,
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

NEW YORK, August 30.-The
overpowering strength of the East
ern clubs of the American League
in contrast to the weakness of the
Western clubs has gradually built
up a tidal wave of protest as the
1880 season has progressed and in
directly today is stirring the white
ashes of the fight on Ban johnson,
deposed president of the Junior
circuit
The Western teams are feeling the
effects of not having had a single
contender in championship fight
since Cleveland came in second in
the flag race of 1926. And in that
year the Indians did not have any
prime chance of winning.
Today the showing of PhiladeI-
phia, Washington and New York. all
well above the topmost Western
team in the percentage column, has
aroused critical comment among Ban
JohnSon's friends. They are taking
the opportunity to observe that If
he were running the league he would
encourage trades and deals that
would again balance the strength of
the circuit instead of letting things
go as they are.
There is no doubt that the league
is topheavy in the East, with only
Cleveland of all the Western cluos
able to make even a semblance of a
showing-and that team is so far
back of the Yankees that there is
practically no chance of its heading
the third-place Fasteners.

"CRUC|AL" WINNERS
Dodgers 0uSted From Second
Place as New York Ends
Its Losing Streak.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON, JR.,

ME struggle for supremacy
in the National League is
showing few signs of a let
up as the four first division
clubs approach the ends of their
crucial series. Brooklyn and
New York, with only today's game
left, are locked in a fight for Sec
ond place, while the league-lead-
ing Chicago Cubs and the st.
Louis Cardinals are even after
two overtime struggles.
The Giants have regained second
place. but are not yet back to their
starting point of 1L2-game margin
over the Robins. A 3-to-2 victory yes
terday placed them q half game ahead.
New York evaded its sixth successive
defeat by pushing over a run in the
seventh, tying the score on Aliens home
run in the eighth and then punching
two more hits after a Robin error in
the same inning.
Cubs Come Back.
Chicago made a comeback to triumph
over st. Louis, 8 to 8, in a 13-inning
struggle that put the Cubs five and a
half games ahead of New York and six
in front of the Robins. They assaulted
Haines and Herman Bell for five hits
and as many runs in the ninth to tie
the score.
In the eleventh Jim BottomIey
clouted home run for st. Louis with.
two on base. but the Cubs made it ga
with four effective hits. The end came
when "Old HoSS" Stephenson opened
the Cub half of the thirteenth with q
triple OF Grimes and scored on Lester
Bells single.
Rain checked the threatening Tes-

Boston and Philadelphia completed
the leagues schedule for the day, with
the Braves winning, to 8, in a hectic

Phillies got Is.
White Sox Win.
In the American League Chicago and
Cleveland battled for IL innings before
either scored. Pat Caraway of Chicago
continued his Shutout hurting through

first half of that frame had played an
important part in giving the White Sox
a 3-to-O victory. Caraway drove in the

had given Clancy q single and had

hits.
The game was the second extra-in-
ming shutout of the major league sea-
son. On May 8 the Cubs beat the Phil
lies, to 0, in 10 innings.
In the only other American League,
game the St. Louis Browns trounced
Detroit for the third straight time TO
keep pace with the White Sox. The
score was 9 to 6. A Six-run Splurse in
the nrst inning decided the game al,
most before it started.
