ADDRESS - HIGHWAY OPERATIONS Prgmpt Appeal Follows Court "'Decision Substituting Its ' Own Opinion Right-of-way proceedings involving condemnations in advance of state highway improvements are suspended by order of Charles M. Babcock, highway commissioner, this week pending a supreme court decision on a question of vital importance to Minnesota’s good roads program. "Phe lower court ruling upheld the |’ coutention of three property owners objecting to a state route in a new location for trunk highway No. 7 near Byron, between Rochester and Kasson. The highway department planned to build on the best engin- eering lines a cut-off to eliminate two dangerous grade crossings, an unnecessary turn and extra distance and also to continue serving the.town of Byron which unanimously endorsed the plan.” The ruling adverse to the state threatened so much delay and confusion to the road program that . | Attofnéy General Hilton at once ap- pealéed to the supreme court. The ease is already attracting wide at- tention throughout the state. In an editorial on giving the high- way department reasonable powers, the Minneapolis Journal continued: “It is to_be hoped that the supreme court will see its way clear to taking the hobbles off the highway departt- and giving it the chance to go head speedily with its great work for the benefit of the whole public. If this proves legally impossible, recourse to the Legislature must be had.

TEN INNING TIE; 370 3 © WORLD SERIES CHANCES TODAY Slugfest Features Opening Inning; Giants Get Three and Yankees One YANKEES TIE SCORE IN . | EIGHTH; EXTRA INNING Barnes and Snyder Perform For Giants; Shawkey and Schang for Yankees Although the game went into ten innings, dfter the score was tied in the eighth inning on the third run by the Yankees, ‘the second game of the 1922 world series resulted in a 3 to 3 tie this afternoon, the game being called at the end of the tenth inning on account of darkneéss, The Giants now hold a 3 to 2 vic- tory in the first game yesterday, to- day’s game increasing neither side’s chances for the series. Jesse Barmes, hero of the 1921 world series, a veteran on the Giant’s hurling staff, and Frank Snyder, who came to the Giants on a waiver four years ago, formed the battery for the Giants today. Robert F. Shawkey, known pop- ulerly as “Bob the Gob,” one of the Yankee pitching aces, and Walter H. Schang, first string catcher, per- formed for the Yankess today. X A slugfest opened the game, the Giants metting three runs before the {Yankees could overcome the Giant hitters. The Yankees scored one run in the first inning when R. Meusel left fielder, knocked a homer, both teams remaining scoreless in the sec- ond. In the third inning, Shawkey was worked hard and placed in a bad hole by every batter. However, the Giants failed to score, as did the Yankees in this inning. The Yankees made their second run of the game in the fourth inning after the Giants had been held scoreless again, the Yankee run being made on a home run by Ward, second base- man. The fifth inning proved sen- sational, although Shawkey appeared rather wild. Air-tight baseball was played by both teams, no runs being made in this inning. Shawkey tightcned up in the sixth inning and held the Giants scoreless in the sixth, the sixth and seventh, but in the eighth brought in one run tying the score. 5 Enthusiasm in the game increased when the Giants were held scoreless in the ninth and the Yanks came to | The Yan-| bat to decide the game. kees seemed about to score when Ruth came to bat with two men on bases and two down.

' Mudania Peace Parley ' Apparently Achieving Object of Halting War 0 Official Announcement of Signing of Protocol Is Momentarily Expected WAY HAS BEEN PAVED FOR FINAL CONFERENCE Torch of War Carried Thru Street_; of Athens; Seek to Retain Thrace (By United Priss) 2 (By Edward J. Bing) Constantinople, Oct. 5—The Mu- dania peace conference apparently has achieved remarkable success in solving the difficult preliminary peace problem of the Near East. Official announcement of the signing of. the protocol providing for the Turkish return to Eastern Thrace, coinciding with their withdrayal from the neut- ral zone near the straits, was momen- trily expected here. The way has been paved for a final | vouference at which Mustapha Kemal tand allied leaders will agree to a decision on the disputed Near East territory, and the threats of a holy | war have been removed. | scHooL O‘F leTRuc"oNipnThe turning point at the secret rley came when the allies recog- Inized the Turk’s desire to return fo Eastern Thrace for peaceful occupa- tion of their former territory. When they conceded this, the Kemal- ist representative became more con- ciliatory and agreed not only to with- draw their troops from the neutral zone east of the straits, but to the proposal that Turkish forces should not enter Thrace until after-the ‘fi- nal peace conference. The allies are to remain in control of Thrace from which the Greeks will be requested to withdraw and until a second Turkish administration can be set up. It is estimated this will take a month. One stumbling block appeared to remain today in path of a complete agreement—namely, Greece's oppo- sition to the plan. Although Ven- izelos at London and other influ- ential leaders have acceded -the promise that Greece must give up castern Thrace, a wave of artificial fervor has swept many Greek ex- tremists to arms with the battle cry of fighting to the last man to retain their present hold on what formerly was Turkey in Europe. Constantinople, Oet. §—Turkish cavalry has just entered the city of Kangra, adjacent to the Ismid neut- ral zone, and the move is pointed to with alarm here as constituting a menace to Constantinople. It is considered that Kemal has ordered the move to intimidate the allies. Athens, Oct. 5—The torch of war was carried through the streets of Athens today as volunteers of all ages and classes crowded recruiting. offices answering a call to arms to fight to retain Thrace for Greece. Indignation stirred by fanatical supporters ran high upon reports that the Mudania conference had decided upon Grecian evacuation of Thrace and handing a portion of Europe to the Turks. Reports said that Mus- tapha Kemal had again started ‘a conscription of troops in Asia Minor. It was also reported that Venizelés had counseled the Greeks not to agrée to the evacuation of Thrace. Neithér of these reports was confirmed. BEMIDJ HIGH TO PLAY DULUTH TEAM SATURDAY Bemidji high 'school will tgckle one of its hardest gridiron opponents Saturday afternoon when the Bemid- ji eleven meets the Duluth Catliredal team at Duluth in the first game ever played between ‘these two aggrega- tions.
