POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oc- tober 11.—Fast ball pitchers were ! gent to the slab by the rival man-} agers today in the second game of the world championship base ball series, both Miller Huggins of the Yankees and John McGraw of the Giants declding to take advantage of the gray afternoon light. Pennock, southpaw, who led all other American League hurlers throughout the season, and McQuil- lan, Giant veteran, were hammered for lusty blows in the early part of the contest, however, and the latter was knocked out of the box in the fourth inning. Each club registered a tally in the second inning, home runs accounting for them. Aaron Ward made the first long hit for the Yankees, knocking the ball into the upper left field stands i after Pipp had been retired. ~With one gone in the Glants' portion of “The round, Irish Meusel also hit into the stands, tying the score. Yanks Score Two. Tn the fourth inning, the Yankees put a pair of runs across when they drove McQuillan from the box. Babe Ruth started the batting melee with a homer over the right field stand.

Wik Rentiey, former Oriole hurler, was sent to the mound for the Giants and heaved the ball against Pen- nock’s back, felling the Yankee bat- ter. For a time it appeared that Pen- noek would have to leave the: fray, but he arose gamely and ambled to first, filling the bases. Witt, though, ended the round with a loft to Cun- ningham.

For the first time in the history of world series base ball cheap-seat seek- ers were absent from the entrance gates last night. The first one put in an appearance after sunup, seating himself on the ever-present soap box reserved for No 1. The base ball bug who scoffs at the league games and bites only on world series bait got a surprise when he came into the historic oid arena. The outfield bleached by the double- deck grandstands extended until it forms almost a complete enclosure with a small horse shoe opening broken in the center bytheelectricscoreboard. In this enclosure 5,000 fans who had to get up early or watch the game downtown on an electric score board, were patiently seated when the brass band trudged onto the field. Those who didn't_sleep last night were kept awake and those who did were put to slee with a soothing melody that sounde: like distant cannonading. The early fans filed into the park lazily and leisurely, There were oc- casional sounds of revelry when Nick Altrock and Al Schacht, the buffons of base ball did their stuff.

Charges Stinnes Planned Revolt Against Berlin BY HIRAM K. MODERWELL, By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News, Copyright, 1028, BERLIN, October 11..—Hugo Stinnes was charged by the com- munist deputy Froelich with hav- ing personally plotted the recent uprising of the “Black Reichs- wehr” at Kuestrin, during the dis- cussion of Chancellor Stresemann's dictatorship law in the reichstag today. Deputy Froelich declared that Stinnes'” offices in _Potsdamer= strasse were the offices of the general staff of the irregular armies, and asserted that Minister of War Gessler apd Gen. Von Seeckt, commander of the reichs- wenr, ' were conspirators in the plan for an armed uprising, al- though they believed the attempt staged by Maj. Buchrucker at Kuestrin was prematur The accusations created a sensa- tion, because it is known that the communists possess an elaborate spy,_system. The communists and nationalists worked this morning in close co- operation in saboting the Strese- mann plan by preventing a quorum. They remained in the corridors, appearing in the reichstag hall only when the signal was given that they were needed to make trouble, 13 KILLED, 9 HURT IN BUSSES STRUCK BY SPEEDING TRAINS n | | Eight School Children Die i Ohio—5 Dead in Pennsyl- vania—9 Hurt. By the Associated Press, AKRON, Ohio, October 11.—Eight children were killed and three others and one man seriously injured this morning when the Clevelander, fast New York to Cleveland train on the Pennsyl- vania railroad, struck a horse-drawn school bus on a grade crossing one-half mile north of Rootstown, in Portage county. The bus was on its way to the centralized school at Rootstown. One girl and four boys, passengers in the bus, escaped uninjured. The dead are: Mildred Shaw, eleven; Harold Shaw, nine; Verna Shaw, two; Margaret Kuntz, twelve; Julia Wamcik, thirteen: Ella Stianche, fourteen; Thel- ma Benshoff, nine, and Richard Silvers, nine. The injured: Lawrence Shaw, eight, may die; Steve Wamcik, eleve Stanley Benshoff, six; Louis Kline, six; driver of the bus. The three Shaw. children killed and one injured are all of one family. County and school officials are at a 1098 to explain how the accident hap- pened. The crossing where the crash occurred affords a clear view of the track for sixty rods, it is said. The bus was nearly across the tracks when struck, the horses escaping injury as the vehicle was torn away behind them. The dead and fnjured were picked up by members of the train crew and taken to Ravenna morgues and hos- pitals. Two-Year-Old Child Killed. The presence of the two-year-old Shaw child on the bus was explained by the statement that she was being taken to school by her sisters to be shown to the other children. In their investigation officials learn- ed that the train was running late. It rounded a curve 200 yards from the crossing at high speed, it was said, and the bus driver saw it too late to get in the clear. The five children who escaped jump- ed when they saw_the train. Roy Benshoff crawled from under the sixth car of the train uninjured after it had stopped. Five Die in Pennsylvania. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., October 11.— Five persons lost their lives and five others were injured at Hephurnville, near here, today when a Pennsylvania railroad train struck the Williams- port-Trout Run bus, Two were killed outright and three others died in a hospital. The dead are George D. Ault, sixty-five, South Williamsport; Sarah Hall, sixty-five, South Williamsport; Mrs. W. C. Ander- son, Williamsport; Harry C. Schiek, forty-one, Philadelphia; unidentified elderly man. Of the injured, Matthew Waltz of this city, the driver of the bus, was the most seriously hurt. He was {brought to the hospital suftering with internal injuries. The others were treated at the scene of the accident. The bus had stopped a foot from the crossing and had started again but was struck just as it reached the tracks. It was hurled nearly 100 feet and thrown aside against a tele- phone pole. | y Mrs. Elizabeth Ward Pinnell, twen- ty-three years old, stood in the wom- en’s cellroom at the District jail to- day with her thirteen-month-old baby in her arms and declared her intention of keeping “little Marion” with her as long as she would be allowed.

C, E) 1.5, ENIONS HILL INHOME WINE CASE Representative Gets Five Days to Meet Charge of Dry.Act Violation. BALTIMORE, Md., October 11.—At the request of United States District Attorney Woodcock, Judge Soper in the United States district court, to- injunction restraining Representative John Philip Hill from continuing to manu- facture Intoxicating fruit juices at his home, 3 Franklin street. The injunction comes under section 22 which says any place in which liquor has been manufactured may be closed. Representative Hill may move to dis- solve this injunction on five days' notice, or he may appear and answer the bill within twenty days of being served with subpoena. Gives Two Reasonw. District Attorney Woodcock issued a statement in which he said: “The case of Representative Hill is unus- ual for two reasons: First, the high position he occupies, and second, he freely admits the fact, as the govern- ment contends, thgt he is violating the law. The first rcason entitles him to no consideration beyond that given any other person. The second reason inclines one to believe he may be secking sincerely a judicial determi- nation of the question whether what he has done Is a violation of the law rather than that he is deliberately breaking the law in a hope that he will emerge from the prosecution a hero or a martyr. “It was my intention origindlly to lay this case beforc the grand jury, More mature consideration has ‘con- vinced me the facts are substantially admitted and the question primarily is one of law. It would be more proper to lay before the judge whose province it is to determine the ques- tions of fact. I therefore asked for an injunction, as provided in section 22 of the national prohibition act. This will allow Hill his day in court and a full opportunity to present his case. Criminal Action Open. *“This is the first instance in which I have asked for an injunction until after a conviction by a jury, except where one has been issued by con- sent as a part of the compromise in a case, To that extent Representative Hill is getting special consideration. I think, however, it is justified, for the second reason stated above. If my belief should prove to be wrong and he has deliberately violated the laws of tie land, regardless of the motive involved, the injunction would not necessarily prevent a criminal prosecution in the future. “If the government views prevail with the court no doubt a permanent injunction will be iseued closing the premises. The court may allow the defendant to reopen them on giving bond that no violation of the na. tional prohibition law be permitted.

Actual development of the proposed five-year school building program will be started at a speclal conference of the board of education and school and District government officials tonight at the Franklin School, administra- tion headquarters of the school sys- tem. The program will be submitted to the bureau of the budget upon its completion. The feasibility of drafting such a program has been under considera- tion for several months, and District government authorities have aided the school officials in collecting a mass of statistics Indicating tho probable growth of various sections of the city in future years and where additionai building accommodations will be needed. All of this information will be given to the school board tonight by Engineer Commissioner J. Frank- 1in Bell and Assistant Engineer Com- missioner John Wood. WIill Abolish Portables. The contemplated program, it is understood, will provide for the abo- lition of the undesirable portables and rented structures adopted as an emergency reliet for theovercrowded schools and the purchase of available! school sites. It is the belief of Engineer Commis: sloner Bell and Supt. of Schools Bal- lou that the sites now available for future school buildings will have to be acquired before the rapid develop- ment of certain sections of the city makes such a procedure impossible. Such a foresighted policy of purchas- ing property for school sites, in the opinion of these officials, will result in great economy and obviate pos- sible condemnation proceedings in later years. Formulated by Ballou. A building program similar to_the one to be drafted tonight was formu- lated by Dr. Ballou soon after he be- came superintendent, on July 1, 1920. The first program called for the ex- penditure of $2,000,000 annually for a period of five years, exclusively for new buildings and sites, and it has been carried out to a certain extent. The entire membership of the school board is expected at the conference tonight, in addition to Supt. Ballou and other school officials who will as- sist in the development of the new program.

ARTERIES FORFAST MOTORING FAVORED Plan Would Speed Up Traffic and Protect Pedestrians, Oyster Is Told. Fixing of an increased speed limit for vehicles on the main arterial high- ways of the city, with a regulation re- quiring machines to come to a Stop before entering or crossing such arte- ries, was suggested to Commissioner Oyster today in a report on traffic problems, submitted by the Washing- ton Motor Club, which is affiliated with the National Motorists’ Association. The ciub advances two arguments in support of establishing such & plan: First, to enable the arteries to handle more traffic, and, secondly, to furnish an incentive to traffic to use these ar- teries. Ald te Pedestrians, “Another distinct advantage in the system,” the report continues, “would be that it would draw considerable traffic away from the channels mostly used by pedestrians. The plan would draw taxicabs and other fast traffic out of the congested sections and send them down Pennsylvania avenue, Massachu- setts avenue and out 16th street and other fast traffic arteries. *This traffic at present is prone to operate through F, G, H, I and 15th streets. There are large groups of automoblle users who, at present, through thoughtlessness, habit or for other unnecessary reasons, go through the congested districts. “The purpose of the arterial system is to furnish an incentive for a large percentage of this traffic to remain out of the business districts, particu- larly at rush hours. Speed Cuts “Your committee calls attention to the fact that the present average speed of operators on an arterial road such as 16th street, for instance, is greater than the average speed in the downtown district, yet statistics will show that there are fewer accidents on 16th street than on other streets of smaller importance, although 16th street is now tactitly considered as an arterial roadway.” The motor club takes the position that one-way streets in themselves are mot solving any_traffic problems, nor does the club belicve they are doing any harm. The club suggests, however, that if they are to be re- tained it would be well to use them southbound in the morning rush pe- riod and northbound in the evening rush period. More Officers Awked. The club further suggests that if, one-way Streets are to be permanent it would be more practical to extend the one-way rule farther north than the boundary of the congested ec- on. The club committee recommendsan increase in the number of trafic po- licemen to handle trafic under the proposed arterial or boulevard stop TStriet_ent enforcement of a parking limit—preferahly one hour—on all main thoroughfarss is advocated by thgrclub. In a letter accompanying the report to the Commissioner Dr. J. Rozier Biggs, chairman of the committee, suggests that the parking problem eventually may necessitate the building of underground storage £paces. Street Repairing Urged. Improvement of a few connecting streets to make possible continuous traffic particularly from ‘West Po- tomac Park to K street in George- town and the improvement of one or more _arterial streets connecting Pennsylvania avenue with Anacostia bridge is urged in the report. The committee told Commissioner Oyster it had the utmost confidence in the policing authorities of the city and that all recommendations and suggestions were made in a spirit of co-operation.

This is provided in the schedules prepared by the Personnel Classifica- tion Board, which have been used by the District Commissioners in sub- mitting their estimates to the budget bureau. The budget bureau has a duplicate of these schedules, which it is using to check over the Commis- sioners’ estimates, with the probabil- ity that these salary Increases will be included in the federal budget when it is sent to Congress for the next fiscal year. The percentage of increase for these 2,200 District employes over what is known as “base salary” is 42.15, and over their present total salary, in- cluding_the so-called “$240 bonus,” is 10.03. This has been made up on the basis of rulés contained in the reclas- sification act and practically all are on appraisalg at the minimum for grade. Summary of Schedules. Here is a summary of the reclassi- fication board's schedule for the Dis- trict employe: Present base salary, $2,135781. Pregent salary plus the §240 bonus, $2,759,317. Predicted salary for July 1 next, or the classification board’s appraisal— which is expected to be carried in the budget—$3,036,152. Amount of ' appraisal salary, $900371. Percentage of increase over present base salary, 42.15. Net increase of appraised salary over total present ealary, including the $240 bonus, $276,835. Peroentage of net increase, 10.03. The highest percentage of increase for any department in_the regular federal establishment is 6.86. The net percentage of increase for the de- partments proper range from 2.1 to 6.86. By way of illustration here are percentage figures for some of the largest departments: One gets 19. per cent increase oyer present base pay and 2.1 per cent over base pay plus the bonue. Another gets 17.8 percentage over base pay and 4.97 over base pay plus the bonus. - A third gets 17.7 percentage in- crease over the;base pay and 4.2 over the base.pay plus thie bonus. One of the laygest of the govern- ment establishnfents is to receive 13.4 over base pay and only 1.15 over base pay plus the bonu: The higher rate of increase allowed the District employes is to effect an act of tardy justice. From the stand- Ppoint of equality of pay the employes of the District government have been notoriously underpaid. The new gchedule drafted by the Personnal Olassification Board brings the District workers up to the grades of pay in other departments, and this is why the percentage of increase which the next' appropriation bl is expected to carry for the Dietrict emploves is larger than for any of the regular departments. While 2:200 employes of the Dis- trict government are covered in this reclassification, there are many more employes of the District who are rot included. The District Commis- sioners submitted to the personnel classification board several hundred more employes. The schedule of the classification board does not include skilled workmen, nor does it include part-time_employes or per diem em- ployes. However, as there are a num- ber of per diem cmployes who work practically every day and are in effect regular annual employes of the District, a special study’is being made which will provide a sort of reclassification for them. Plan Many Appeals. The Commissioners, through, Bud- get Officer Donovan, will appeal to the classification board to make ad- justments in the salaries allotted.to a number of individigls in the Dis- trict service, Commissiorier Rudolp! stated today. Commissioner,Rudolph sald there is no disagreement bétween the local and federal authorities on_the salary ratings as a whole, but only in a few cases in_which the Commissioners feel the allotments are inadequate. While the total increase in District salaries under the grading as made by the classification board amounts to 10 or 11 per cent, Maj. Donovan €x- plained today that this does not:mean a 10 or 11 per cent raise for each em- plove. Span The percentages of individual in- crease vary widely, according to the character of work performed. The original ratings given city em- ployes would have amounted to an increase of 18 per cent in the total District _pay roll, but adjustments made - by the classification board brought the total down to-10 or 11 zemt. Tn making these adjustments, it was learned today, the classification Doard reduced the grades to which a number of department heads wad been allocated. The Commissioners, who now re- ceive $5,000 & vear, have been recom- mended for $7,500. Heads of major departments will receive 35200 a vea ISOLATION ROOM CHECK-UP STARTED Dr. Fowler Orders Assistant to Make Inspection Tour of All Hospitals. over base Health Officer Willlam C.
