Dayton, Oct. 4.—At home from a campaign tour that took him more than 11,000 miles and into, every | state west of the Mississippi river ex- cept three, Governor Cox, though supposed to rest for two days before going into Kentucky and Tennessee, today continued his plea for adop- tion of the league of nations. In an address to a body of women the governor went into nsiderable detail why women should sppport the league cause, asserting that throuzh- out the years they have been “‘the leaders of progress in the world” and declaring that wrath of the women who were made to suffer in the var will pursue Franz Joseph, William Hohenzollern and Nicholas Romanoff, “through all eternity.” Though asserting that the mone- tary cost of the war, direct and in- direct, was $300.000,000,000, it was the women, Governor Cox declared, who know what the wag really cost, “for they paid the price in personal suffering to provide the rulers of the earth with 10,000,000 men who ware thrown into the gauges of battle to placate the anger of the gods of war. League Prevents Wi The league, Governor Cox said not only will prevent war, which he as- serted is its primary purpose but also will promote progress, and will “set ap, or itself become a clearing house f¢r international justice and social ice.” The governor detailed the follow- ing social service and justice program which he asserted member nations of the'league will endeavor to carry out: “Try to secure and maintain fair and humane conditions of labor for men, women and children—thus Jift- ing the standard of living everywhere. “Try to secure just treatment of the native inhabitants of territories under their control. “Try to secure and maintain “ree- jdom of communication and of trans- it po and equitable treatment for ‘he mmerce of members of the league. “Labor together in the effort of control and ultimately eradicate disease. “Set up commissions for the pre- vention of the illicit traffic in arms, in dangerous drugsand in women for immoral purposes.” Pledge to the Fallen. “The women of America will vote to keep our pledge to 81,000 heroes whose blood has crimsoned the pop- ples of Flanders fields,” We .on- tinled. *““Thev will vote for the limi- tation of armaments, the arbitration of disputes the publication of secret treaties, the amelioration of distress and the elevation of labor conditions to higher standards. In a word taey will vote for a league which will ~on- vert christian idealism into the stat- utes of sound statesmanship.” Bridgeport Man Robbed Of $1,000 in $20 Bills Bridgeport, Oct. 4.—Frank Bur- owik reported to the police that he had been robbed of $1.000 in $20 hills while on the way to work today.

New York, Oect. 4.—President Eb- bets of the Brooklyn club announced today that Mayor Hyland has accepi- ed an invitation to throw out the first ball in the opening game of the series tomorrow. Definite announcement of the as: signment of umpires to their positions has not yet been made, but since the series will open in a National league park it is expected that either Henry | O'Day or William Klem will work be- hind the plate in the first contest. This arrangement will mean that the other National league umpire will be at second base, with William Dineen and Thomas Connolly of the American league at first and .third bases, r spectively. Under this plan Connoily who is the senior umpire of the American league will work behind the plate in Wednesday's game. President Ebbets has decided to dispense with music at the games in Brooklyn, because attendance of the band would mean that just so many fans would be denied tickets. Distribution of the tickets was com- pleted today. The weather bureau today gave a promise of favorable whether for the opening of the series. “Fair tonight and Tuesday: some- What cooler; moderate southwest to west winds,” was the official forecast. Speaker Plans Campaign Cleveland, Oct. 4.—Tris Speaker, manager of the Cleveland Indians had his team at League Park this morn- ing for a conference during which he formulated his mode of attack against the Brooklyn Dodgers in the coming warld's series. Although Speaker would pot an- nounce definitely who his pitching se- lection ‘would be in the first game to- morrow, it is likely Jim Bagby, who won 31 games for the Indians this season may be called upon. Stanley Coveleskie and Walter Mails both are ready and may be called upon if Speaker does not think Bagby has had sufficient rest. Should manager Robinson start one of his left handers in the box against Cleveland, Speaker may send his right handed hitting crew, which worked so successfully in the Detroit and St. Louis series into the line-up. That would mean George Burns on first, batting in the clean-up position, with Joe Wood in rightfield. Protecting the Fans About 35 per cent. of those fortu- nate enough to get ticket: to the game to be played here were notified of the reservations today, Special arrange- ments have been made in the post office to speed up the delivery all letters containing orders for l;:;(em to the world series. . As a precaution against speculators, each envelope is stamped with a red number of the application blank in- side, records of which have been filed at the bascball part. : When a fan calls for his tickets he must take the numbered envelope and application with him. Thke appli- cation must bear the same handwrit- ing as the signature to the original letter requesting reservation.

Wilson Declares Working Classes Now Realize They Must Deliver the Goods if They Are (o Get High Wages. Boston, Oct. 4.—An op! sti view of the general industrial situa tion in America was expressed by Thomas E, Wilson, president of the institute of American meat packers in an address before the investment bankers' association of America here today. He referred to recent declines in prices of many commodities)and said the process of readjustment was “in full motion.” “The pressing necessity of the present” he said, “is to maintain a courageous and optimistic morale. The descent from the heights of ab- normal production to the normal levels of peace times should be reach- ed by graduation and not by perpen- dicular drops. No industry upon which large bodies of labor are dependent for a livelihood or upon which a considerable number of producers are dependent for a market for their raw material has a moral right to close its doors in such a thme as this, mere- ly to prevent a shrinkage in accumua- lated surplus or for the purpase of limiting production so as to create artificial values for materials on hand.” Labor Making Work Mr. Wilson said that labor was be- ginning to realize that “if it is to profit permanently by the inci@ase in wages which it bhas received, it must increase the value and the purchasing power of the sum added to the pay envelope by lowering the cost of com- modities through increased produc- tion.” He said many commodities were being sald at a loss in many instances at less than cost of production and that this was especially true of the livestock industry. “In the agitation to reduce the cost of livigle” he said, “the consuming public ould have a regard for its future supplies of basic necessities and not carry it to the extent of discouraging production. The public should be willing to consume meat at a price that will encourage pro- duction to the extent of keeping pace with our growing population.” McKIRDY IS ENDORSED Stanley Strect Man Reccives Unan- imous of Fourth Ward Republican Club For OCouncil.

SOURGE OF RUSSIAN GOLD IS A MYSTERY |anu'lxvuent of Justice Will Investigate Recent Shipment. Washington, Oct. 4. —Inquiry into the| source of the recent shipment of Russian gold to the United States has been ordered by the department of justice. Belief exists at the depart- ment that the gold may be a part of the Bolshevik propaganda fund. Receipt of the shipment, totalling $339,636, was announced last week by the federal reserve board in its periodical statement on gold imports and exports. This was the first ship- ment of gold from Russia to_ arrive in the United States since late in 1916. Officials of the board said today they had not yet identified the shipment on its consignee. Federal reserve board officials sug- gested that the shipment might have been one which started to this coun- try before America’s declaration of ‘war. When the United States en- tered the war, the government as- sumed control of exports, of all gold and silver and it was said that as a result the shipment might have been held up in some European country until its “passage in safely was BERLIN ELECTION On Face of Returns From Worthing- ton District, Republicans Claim Victory in Today’s Contest.
