speciality, while the champion Phila-

lettering the ail-ttme mark for double

when they failed to score against the
Chicago Cubs yesterday the Reds ran
their string Of consecutive goose eggs"
to 40 and at least tied one big league
mark. Only two other clubs in history
have been blanked four straight days
the Boston Nationals OF 1906 and the
Cincinnati Reds Of 1908. There Is no
record of the number Of scoreless In
nings run up by those clubs. but the
chances are they did not eclipse the
current record of Col. Dan Howley's
troops. In losing yesterday, to Q, the
Reds collected only five scattered hits
on Bob Smith.
Pittsburgh, with four straight shut
out victories to its credit, three Of them
over Cincinnati. had no opportunity 70

Pirates and st. Louis Cardinals from
playing the only other game scheduied
in the National League.

The Athletics approached the major
league record for consecutive double

all-time mark is I'VE straight double

The oath was administered by Daniel

like a midget in comparison with Gen.
Glassford, who towers feet inches.
In taking the oath, Gen. Glassford
followed the usual ceremony, and swore
that he neither promised nor paid, nor
had any one to his knowledge promised
or paid any monetary or other valuable
consideration to any person for influ-
ence or other assistance in obtaining

TEMPORARY EDISON
LIGHT IS PLANNED
Memorial Committee Seeks Permit
to Erect Test Beacon at
Hams Point.

The Citizens Committee in charge
Of the projected Edison National Me-
mortal Is seeking permission for cree
ton of a temporary searchlight at
Hams Point to test the usefulness
there to ships and airplanes of per-
petual memorial light to the famous
inventor
If the suggestion is approved by
Lieut.. Col. u. S. Grant, Sd, arrange
ments probably VIII be completed for
the set-up of the searchlight this week.
BY this means the committee hopes to
develop a light which will serve the
utility aim Of the memorial through
aiding navigation in foggy weather.
From IL preliminary drawings for
the base of the memorial light the
committee has selected four which
have been developed into tentative
working designs. The design most
generally approved so far calls for a
12-foot bronze globe representing the
earth and mounted on granite ped
estal. The globe would be f1anked by
four bronze supp 7rting urns. The CEN
trail globe would be flooded with light
from the four urns.
Arrangements have been made for
introduction of bill in the next Con-
gress to authorize erection of the me-
mortal at Hams Point.

M'LEAN'S DIVORCE
IN LATV|A BARRED
Injunction Issued Here Pro-
hibitS Publisher Seeking De-
cree in Foreign Nation.

Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mclean was to-
day granted temporary restraining
order against her husband, Edward
Beale Mclean, publisher of the Wash
ington Post, to prevent him from in
shutting or prosecuting a divorce action
against her at Riga, Latvia, or any
other foreign country. The order,
signed by Chief Justice Alfred A.
Wheat, provides that 1t may be served
on McLean's attorneys because of his
absence from this Jurisdiction and will
remain in force until Wednesday. No
vember IS, or until further notice of
the court.
Mrs. Mclean was required to give a
bond Of $3.50 to pay for any costs which
might be incurred by her husband by
reason of the wrongful issuance Of the
restraining order.
The court placed the order on the
petition recently filed by Mrs. Mclean,
in which she charged that her husband
had fed the jurisdiction of the United
States to evade the penalties of the
Federal statute against the transport
ing of woman for immoral purposes.
The order recites that Mrs. Mclean
might suffer injury by the granting
Of divorce in the Republic Of Latvia
at any time. This injury, it was de-
cided, would be irreparable in that
such divorce may operate to nullify the
order of the District Supreme Court
requiring the publisher to pay $500
monthly for the support Of his wife
and children.
Mrs. Mclean was represented by At
torneys Frank J. Hogan, Nelson T.
Harrison and Albert w. Fox, while At
torneys Julius I. Peyser and George
B. Fraser represented the husband.
