Score by Innings: New York........ Washington ...... 0 1101 0 0 02000 Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. 6.—(By the A. P.)—The New York Giants took the third game of the series with Washington today, 6 to 4, and jumped into the lead in the series, two games to one. The game was replete with fielding and hit- ting features, Frisch, Rice and Young producing an abundance of fielding stunts which sparkled with brilliancy. New York had McQuillian, Ryan, Jonnard and Watson as pitchers while Washington used Mar- berry, Martina, Russell and Speece. Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. 6.—(By the A. P.)—The Washington Senators invaded the stronghold of the New York Giants this afternoon intent on fighting the proud champions of the National League, hip and thigh, and mak- ing them like it. The brilliant victory of the American’ Leaguers yesterday at the National Capital has made them « a host of friends in the alien Polo Grounds and today, though each club has captured a game in the world series struggle, New Yorkers have made the Washington club a favorite in the series. Forty thousand or more spectators swarmed into the his- . toric ball yard this afternoon to cheer the Senators and Giants. A few stood around the bleacher gates all night but it was not necessary for there was room in the un- reserved section at noon. They did not fill until game time. Another warm day was furnished for the sport and ground keepers had the inner and outer fields in fine con- dition. “That right field stand is just my dish,” said Goose Gos- lin, clean-up hitter of the Senators, commenting on the short right field. “They must have built it for me.” “I put a few in there myself,” said Joe Judge, who has played many games here with the Senators before the Yan- kees moved over to their own grounds across the river.

Members of the freight train crew were unaware of the accident which was discovered by a motorist who | found two men dead and a third who died before medical aid could | be summoned. Those killed were Christian Rask | and Arnold Benson of Westfield | township, Lodge county, and Joseph Lysne of near Bixby. All were en- gaged in farming and were about 25 i years old. The accident occurred where the Red Ball road, south of here cross- ed the track of the Chicago, Mil- waukee and St. Paul railroad. The train passed that crossing a few minutes after midnight this morn- ing. OMAHA YARDS Second Million Dollar Fire; Occurs There Omaha, Oct. 6—The second mll- lion dollar fire ut the Union Stock yards at South Omuha within a/ period of two years, destroyed four buildings, threatened two others, and caused the entire fire fighting | forces of Omaha and South Omaha to put forth their best efforts to! save other plunts of the stock yards Sunday. The cause of the fire, which start- ed in the plant’s lumber yard, is unknown, Five box cars laden with lumber, on a side track near the yard, were destroyed, sparks from the original fire quickly engulfing them in the spreading flames. Be- sides the lumber yard, the box fac- tory, hide factory, Dutch Cleanser plant and several smaller buildings were destroyed Company officials at the scene of the conflagration declined an offi- cial statement but estimated the loss would approach $1,000,000. Oldfield Goes 87 Miles an Hour, Arrested Calexico, Calif., Oct. 6—Barney Oldfield veteran automobile race driver, was at liberty under $500 bond here today pending arraign- ment in police court on a charge of driving his coupe while intoxicated. According to police Oldfield was driving 87 miles an hour on the highway between Culexico and El Centro, Saturday night. Three motorcycles attempted to overtake him but only one was suc- cessful, TWO } | No Money to Buy New Planes, Air Service Had to Use Old, Says Martin WARNING WAS’ GIVEN Capt. Skeel, Killed in Pulitzer Race, Had Premonition of Disaster Cleveland, 0., Oct. 6.—Capt. Burt E. Skeel, killed during the Pulitzer speed classic at Dayton, Saturday, plunged to his death in a plane that was worn out two years ago, Glenn L. Martin, local aircraft manufactur- er and manager of the board of man- agers of the National Aeronautic As- sociation, said last night on his re- turn from Dayton. The Air Service had no money to buy new planes for the race and had to use old ones, Mr. Martin quoted, Brigadier-Gen, Mitchell, assistant chief of the Army air service as say- ing in Dayton after the accident. Capt. Skeel was flying one of the three Curtiss army racers bought by the government for the Pulitzer races in 1922, One of the planes collapsed in the air at McCook field, Dayton, about six weeks ago, result- ing in the death of Lieut. Alexander Pearson. The third was used by Lieut. L. H. Brookley in Saturday's race, company told me the not built to be flown the end of that time they should have been replaced if used for rac- ing. It was generally understood that the Air Service could’ not buy any new planes for the races this year because Congress failed to ap- propriate enough money.” Capt. Skeel had a premonition that he might “go west” on his attempt ‘to win the pulitzer trophy, Mr. Mar- tin continued. Before the flight he refused to let his friends arrange u His body was brought to Cleveland today by military escort, Funeral services will be held here tomorrow. NEGROES FIGHT, ‘BOTH WOUNDED One Cut, Other Is Shot in Abdomen, in Quarrel Fago, Oct. 6.—Albert Spencer, negro, known to the police as “Lucky Dreams,” is in a local hos- pital with a bullet hole through his abdomen and Charles McAdoo, also a negro, who is declared to have a police record, is in the Cass county jail charged with assault with a deadly weapon, as a result of a row following a “craps” game here Sun- day. McAdoo admits shooting Spencer with a rusty old rifle barrel, which is minus a stock, but he is badly cut about the chin and head and he has filed a counter charge of as- sault with a dangerous weapon against the wounded man. Spencer is much improved today and is re- ported to be out of critical danger and will recover. McAdoo waived examination and was held to the district court under $1,000 bail in default of which he was given into the custody of the sheriff. COURT TERM TO OPEN TOMORROW The October term of district court will open here tomorrow, with Judge Jansonius presiding. Court cases ar on the program for the day. GRANT COUNTY GIRLS CARRY OFF NATIONAL HONORS FOR STATE Two little North Dakota girls- Mary Cotner, 12, and Edna Vogel, 13 —are back in Grant eounty today going into national competition at the National Dairy Show at Milwau- kee and winning honors for them- selves, their community and their state. The girls tied for third place in the national clean milk demonstra- tion contest,’ ranked first among the girls teams, Mary Cotner won first and Edna Vogel second individual honors for girls, and Mary placed third in the health contest. Chaperoned by C. H. Wilson, coun- ty agent of Grant county, the girls were selected as representatives of the Grant County Holstein Calf club, and were sent to the show by contri- butions from the community of Lark and Commercial Clubs of Carson, El- _ gin and New Leipsig. Twenty-four states were represented in the com- petition in various contests. In the care of milk demonstration, the en- trants were tested on methods of keeping milk clean by _ sterilizing utensils, cooling milk, care of cows and other methods, and in the con- test 16 states were represented. Boys’ teams from Nebraska and Minnesota placed first and second, while the North Dakota girls tied with Iowa’s representatives for third place. In the physical examination of all en- trants in the boys and girls contests, Mary Cotner received a point score of 97.5, which entitled her to third place, and the girls outranked all others for individual honors in the milk demonstration. Mary Cotner is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jess Cotner and Edna Vogel: is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Vogel.

R. H. ‘Tracy who heads the Bismarck drive was chairman of the day and through the various speakers the work of the Burleigh County Red Cross Chapter was thoroughly ex- plained. Guests of honor were members of the executive board of the local chapter and those who will help Mr. Tracy with his organization plans. Chapter members present were J. L. Bell, Dr. F. R. Smyth, Dr. L. A. Schip- fer, Col. Russ and G. D. Mann. Others connected with the drive who were guests are: Miss Mary Cashel, welfare worker of the chapter, Miss Sarah Sand, Mrs. H. A. Brandes and Jefferson Steiner. Dr. Schipfer explained the gen- ects of the Red Cross work ing with what efficiency the di planes were) practical side of the chapter work ! longer than! had beer three months,” Mr. Martin said. “Ati Cashel. n taken care of by Miss Miss Cashel spoke upon the three fold nature of the Red Cross work as it touches upon the work with service men, poor relief for city and county. Under her regime ; the poor relief expenditures have been cut 40% and a saving in the county for mothers’ pensions of $8,000 has been made. ' Soldier welfare work for eight counties is cared for at the Bismarck chap- ter. Ninety-eight cases have been disposed of. Pension and bonus matters are being cared for daily and through the chapter social registration bureau is being con- ducted which eliminates duplica- tion of time, money and effort. Explains Finances J. L. Bell, treasurer of the local chapter, explained how the money is disbursed through the various activities and he pointed to the small overhead cost of administer- ing the funds. The National Red Cross society during its last fiscal year distributed some $16,310,000 with only a cost of $369,000 or approximately 2%4 percent. Miss Sarah Sand, who served eighteen months overseas as_ a nurse, told of the work of the Red Cross during the war. She urged the most hearty support of Bis- marck to all Red Cross activities. Her address in a most interesting manner illustrated how the Red Cross functions abroad in case of war and disaster. Jefferson Steiner has been select- ed by Mr. Tracy as his assistant in what promises to be a most suc- cessful drive for funds. Member- ships of a dollar are to be asked and “Sign Up For The Whole Family” is to be the slogan. Mr. Tracy is busy getting an active committee together. Make Contribution * The Kiwanis Club was the first to “kick” in to the drive largely because of a hopeless deadlock in the selecting of the winner of the attendance prize put up by Mr. Tracy. It was the price of two tons of coal. L. C. Sorlien of the bachelor’s bloc drew the coal and this started such a protest that other drawings were made without suecess or approval so the dead- lock was broken when someone suggested that the ch@k for the coal be turned into the Red Cross funds. J. D. Stenson, assistant fire-mar- shal, spoke on the great need for observance of fire prevention. He indicated how the fire losses had been cut down but urged even greater vigilance. He specially urged greater need for supervision in the schools to cut down the fire hazzard and declared that many schools were veritable fire-traps. Dr. N. O. Ramstad presided in the absence of President Birdzell. MINISTERS TO : FIGHT JUDGE Fargo, N. D., Oct. 6.—An appeal to the voters of the First Judicial district was made public today by the Fargo Ministerial . union, the voters of the district being asked to give their support to candidates for the district bench other than Judge A. T. Cole of Fargo, who is a candidate for re-election. In the appeal, which is in the form of resolutions adopted by the Fargo Ministerial association at a meeting held this week, the record ef suspensions of sentences in li- quor cases is made the basis on which the voters are asked to with- bers of the Flasher Holstein Circuit. hold support from Judge Cole, TRIBUNE RIES GAM executive board} R 6, 1924 DODGING THE ISSUE AS USUAL Defense of the three per cent gratuity paid T, R. Atkin- son upon $265,000, purchase price of the water plant and tacit agreement to continuing his service as city engineer upon a five per cent basis upon all contracts of $500 or more are offered in a recent article signed: “Bystander.” This answer to “Bystander,” however, is written from the standpoint of a tax payer, not from that of an eavesdropper, a non-resident or a mere “Bystander.” Fundamentally the trouble now is that our city budgets are being dictated in: too great a degree by tax-eaters and bystanders. Those who have the temerity to criticize city finances or who seek simply to inform their readers on how the money is being spent and who gets it are abused, vilified and bombastically classed as seekers after revenge. Hoy melodramatic! But none of this bombast reduces said axes. In his article “Bystander” discusses not taxes or their possible reduction but raises as a counter issue a former accountant of the Bismarck Water Supply company and the general manager and editor of The Tribune. Through no stretch of imagination can these persons be considered the issues involved in the matter of tax reduction in the city of Bismarck how deeply their actions or their ideas enrage “Bystander.” Neither is it an issue affecting imme- diate tax reduction in Bismarck that T. R. Atkinson by his valuation of the Bismarck Water Supply plant saved the taxpayers of this city $200,000. All of the Bystanders allegations whether they be true or false is so much water that has gone under the bridge and are merely reiterated now to obscure the real issue before the citizens of Bismarck: IMMEDIATE TAX REDUCTION. This issue has been dodged by the city commission, but the issue is one which the taxpayers and people generally of this city can hardly afford to ignore. That many of them are keenly alive to the situation is mani-, fast by the vehemency of “Bystander,” the anonymous apologist of those responsible for the present tax load. Not a figure put forth by The Tribune in its analysis of city finances has been challenged by the “Bystander.” With even an elementary conception of business economy, “Bystander” should know that a great saving would be effected if the city engineer were placed upon a salary basis as is done in practically every city in North Dakota. It should be apparent to this transient “Bystander,” (resident or non-resident who knows?) if the offices of city engi- jneer, street commissioner and superintendent of water works were combined and the five per cent engineering | |commission eliminated, that a saving in excess of $10,000| a year could easily be made. This might work a hardship upon the beneficiaries under the present extravagant sys- tem and cut down the quota of “Bystanders,” but it would be sweet music to the ears of the taxpayers. It is common knowledge also to' the people of Bismarck that in the last ten years, T. R. Atkinson has drawn from | the city treasury approximately $100,000 for engineering ‘services, not to mention what has poured into his pockets from state and county sources over the same period. Add to this rather imposing sum for a city of some 7,000 or ; 8,000 souls, the extra expense the city has been caused by his costly blunders and the grand total of this city’s share! alone paid Atkinson would reach the imposing figure of some $125,000—and THE END Is Not Yet. _ Granting that T. R. Atkinson saved the taxpayers of Bismarck $200,000 in the purchase of the old plant, is he not cutting down the saving at a most rapid pace in three and five per cent slices? It begins to look to an ordinary dub of a taxpayer that the saving was made for T. R. and not for him. Mr. Bystander may be interested in this kind of a bounty, but the taxpayers in the words of Kipling must continue to: “Pay, Pay, Pay.” It might be enlightening for the taxpayers of Bismarck if “Bystander” would work out how long at three, and five per cent commissions it will take T. R. Atkinson to absorb completely this so-called $200,000 saving. A nice but easy problem for “Bystander’s” next effort. While the city commission refuses absolutely to retrench | in the matter of city finances, it might be a fertile field for | the city and county officials to tackle the matter of tax delinquency in Bismarck. A large percentage of taxes assessed against vacant lots cannot be paid because the special assessments under the Atkinson plan has virtually confiscated them, but how many fail to pay their taxes who can and by such delin- quency place a heavier burden upon those who do pay? What are the city and county officials doing to collect from those who don’t pay? To what extent is the mouthpiece used by “Bystander” delinquent in taxes? Has it ever paid a cent of taxes in Bismarck? “Bystander” can spend a profitable hour at the county auditor’s office in answer to this question. Of course then in such an event such mere trifles as taxes and tax reduction cannot interest a “Bystander.” The Tribune will continue to discuss city expenditures not from the blase interest of a “Bystander,” a tax delin- quent, a non-resident or an eavesdropper, but from the very vital standpoint of a taxpayer. desired end of a bigger and a better Bismarck so that in all tax reductions effected thereby, all may share and share alike in the benefits; for surely government is instituted for the benefit of all the people and not for the benefit of any clique whose fingers may happen to be near the public purse strings. of flax were shipped, aggregating 11,500 bushels. Eight cars of rye making about 10,500 bushels, were also shipped, all this year's crop. Besides these shipments of rye and flax there were in the elevators on Tuesday 5,000 bushels of flax, and about 6,000 bushels of rye. Heavy Grain Shipments Out Of Van Hook Van Hook, N.

P.)—In a rush of buying all deliveries of wheat and rye soared today to the high- est price yet this season. Un- favorable weather in Canada and Argentine was the prin- cipal immediate motive for purchasing in Canada, too much moisture was reported, and in Argentine, too little. Wheat opening prices, which varied from 1 5-8 to 4 1-8 cents higher, with Decem- ber $1.50 to $1.51 1-2 and May $1.55 to $1.57 were fol- lowed by rapid fluctuations covering a range of about three rents and averaging about two cents over Satur- day’s close. NEW HIGH MARK Minneapolis, Oct. 6— Wheat prices soared to new high levels today, smashing all records since 1921. May wheat sold at $1.55, two and a half cents over the previous 1924 high mark. Prices of rye also mounted to new peak figures, while oats and corn shared the strength of other grains. Cash wheat mounted to $1.67 1-2 for choice con- signments an increase of 1 1-2 cents over the previous peak. Today’s new record for rye included sales of Decem- ber in Minneapolis at $1.29 1-8 as compared with a pre- vious high mark of $1.26. MINOT NORMAL IS GROWING Minot, N.

McFarland, president of the institution said today. The pre- sent registration of 410, Dr. McFar- land states, will be increased during the next few days as new students, who have been delayed at their homes, arrive to register at the school.
