After some further discussion of a minor nature. Mr. Seton moved to dis miss the charges and to reinstate, in case everything is clear against Mad dux in Circuit Court. There remains but one Indictment, growing out of this same case, and It is said tnis will be dismissed Immediately. Maddux was a leading figure in the recent sensational attempt to slip $400 to Deputy District Attorney Collier, Mayor Rushlight, Chief Slover and others being behind the effort because they wished, as they explained, to test the integrity of the District Attorney. ' Alt were indicted, but the indictments Ijarer were quashed. Mrs. Isabella Simmons, matron at the J ? ity Jail, and Miss Delia Reed, stenog "rapher to Chief Slover, both of whom are under Indictment lor larceny, were ordered suspended, pending a hearing. This was set for 4 o'clock next Thurs day afternoon. The two women are ac cused of taking goods from trunks at "the central station, the articles alleged that were recovered from loot taken ""from department stores by a gang of shoplifters. A temporary appointment 'as matron was ordered made. B,: Kay Dismissed Formally. -,'Tj)m Kay is recommended for dis- itnissai tor matting tterogaiury uuer- - ances against Messrs. Seton and Fits- - areraid before the General Ministerial Association last Monday morning, when he accused them of obstructing the police in their efforts to prosecute cases against keepers of immoral houses. Kay is now a special agent for Governor West, having been named on request of H. M. Ksterly, the Gov- 'ernor's special vice prosecutor in Port land. . -What do you want to do with this case?" asked Mr. Seton, when the Kay subject came up. "Has he asked for any hearing?" Queried Mr. Fitzgerald. "No." replied Chief Slover, who had suspended Kay on orders from the Mayor. "Then I move that the Chiefs action be upheld and he be dismissed," said Mr. Fitzgerald. "Second it." said Mr. Seton and this became the order. -"- A delegation representing the Manu facturers' Association, was present to ask that the committee see to it that Oregon-made brick has a chance in the hew police administration building. S. B. Vincent, the secretary, spoke briefly pn the subject. Mr.. Seton asked him if the delegation would draft something to put in the call for bids. They did so and Oregon brick will get an equal chance for the work. Police Get Days Off. Upon motion of Mr. Fitzgerald. Chief Plover and the various captains were Instructed to draft a tentative arrange ment whereby each member of the de partment will be given two days off duty each month. This action Is in accordance with an ordinance recently passed by the City Council and which took effect October 1. It provides that the Executive Board may take such action, if It Is deemed wise. The ordi nance was originated by Ralph C Clyde, a member of the Council. After a private consultation and con ference, the members of the committee Secided that they will make an In vestigation in a quiet way of the case against Patrolman Eberman. He was present with counsel and asked for a hearing. No charge was preferred by the Chief, as Eberman Is a probationer and was among those reinstated about five months ago by the Civil Service Commission. He makes no claim to recognition under the civil service rules, however, but his attorney said that his client stmply asks Justice and believes ha can show that he should not be summarily dismissed. woman' Name la Secret. ' Chief Slover said that he would not make public the name of a woman who Identified Eberman aa the police man who mis-stated the time to her recently on an East Side street and caused her to miss a car, and who had, she said, been acting in an ungentle- manly way toward other women in the vicinity. "It might be a case of mistaken lden tity." suggested the attorney. -"I guess not," replied the Chief. "The woman called at the station and picked Eberman out, without even knowing his number. I told her I would not make her name public" Eberman alleges that he is a viotim of injustice: that he has been trying hard to make good since being rem stated by the Civil Service Commission and that he is Innocent of any wrong doing whatever, either in this connec tion or in any other manner. U'REN ASKS QUESTIONS Ijetter Is Addressed to Oregon Equal Taxation League. In a letter addressed to Charles H. Shields, secretary of the Oregon Equal Taxation League, W. S. ITRen, of Ore gron City, asks for Information as to the names of the people who are financing the anti-single tax campaign In this state. Mr. ITRen's letter fol lows: I have not received an answer from you to my letters of September 20, 26 and Octo ber 6, uklng you to debate with me the tax measures on which the people of Ore gon vote in November, and in which I stat ed that I would maintain the graduated sin gle tax amendment and oppose all the leg islative and Tax Commission bills and amendments. In the daily papers of last Sunday I notice mat you challenge me and all otner ain-a-le-taxers to debate with you the single-tax philosophy of Henry George and come other questions on which the people of Oregon are not voting thla year. Tour proposal to de bate such subjects is about as silly as a challenge to debate a resolution that tne moon is made of green cheese. I certainly would not waste time in any such idle dis cussion with you or anyone else. But I would be glad to debate the ques tion, "Resolved, That the graduated single tax amendment should be adopted by the people or Oregon." As you will not do this. win you be kind enough to answer the fol lowing questions T Who pays for your work lri Oregon T What salary are you promised? Who are the five persona corporations and estates who have promised the largest contribution for your campaign against the single-tax measures? how much have they agreed to pay towards the cost of the campaign against the single tax measures? What Is the total expense of your campaign to date? Give the names of your hired workers. P0ST0FF1CE WILL CLOSE Government Officially Will Take No tice of Columbus Day.

Prominent members of Multnomah County Pomona Grange deny that the granges of this county nave taken any official action with reference to the State Printer's flat-salary bill. R. A. Harris, state printing expert, who is campaigning the state for the measure. made the statement that .Pomona Grange of this county sent a cash con tribution to aid the campaign for tne bill, implying that the measure had re ceived the indorsement or tne grange. According to J. J. Johnson, a prom inent Multnomah County granger, the Pomona Grange did receive a letter from the Salem Grange some time ago, asking for financial assistance in ad vocating the bill. The matter came be fore the grange In an Informal way, but official action was hot taken. A few members of the grange contributed voluntarily about 2, which was for warded to the Salem committee. It was not officially indorsed, said Mr. Johnson, "and will not be consid ered until the next meeting of Even ing Star Grange, on the Saturday pre ceding election. The Salem Grange has since notified us that it has rescinded its former action in advocating the bill, and no longer favors the measure. It has also urged us to do everything we Dosslbly could to counteract the infill ence favorable to the bill that has re suited already from the unauthorized announcement that the Multnomah County grances had indorsed the bill. RICHARDS JS ARRESTED Young Man- Prominent In Municipal Scandal, Charged With . Assault. O. A. Richards, prominent factor in a municipal scandal of last year, was ar rested yesterday By Detectives Koyie and Price on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. He is accused by A. A. Thiekle of having presented an automatic revolver when solicited to pay a bill. Richards was convicted two years ago of committing assault and battery on a young woman to whom he had been paying attentions, and was sentenced to the rock pile. Before his term was out he was brought forward as accuser against A. S. Briggs. superintendent of the city rock pile, that Briggs had ac cepted money to release him before his sentence was out. This accusation broua-ht out the fact that other prison ers had been released prematurely, and Briggs was indicted. On a first trial tne jury aisagreea. and the Indictment was finally dis missed a few days ago. Briggs assert ed In his defense that Judge Tazwell had ordered him to release prisoners. but Tazwell denied the statement. Centralia to Put in Water Plant, CEXTRALIA. Wash- Oct. 10. (Spe cial.)

NBW YORK, Oct. 10. Rain is not likely to Interfere with the playing- f the fourth game of the world's aeries her tomorrow, according; to the local weather bureau. Although the skies were overcast tonight and 'Increasing cloudlneaa" was predicted for tomorrow, bureau officials said no precipitation was likely within 24, hours. (Continued from Slrst Page.) the pilfering being done by Wagner, Devore and Fletcher. The largest crowd that ever saw a ball game in Boston passed through the turnstiles of Fenway Park. The National Commission's figures showed a paid attendance of 34,624. The crowd came late and the stands did not really begin to till until an hour before Um pire Evans called play. ' Air Stands Jammed. All the stands were Jammed and hundreds stood behind temporary fences in the back field. The roofs of houses across the street were black with people. Total receipts for the game today were $68,142, of which the players' share amounted to J34.0S6.68 and each club received $11,365.56. The National Commission's share amounted to $6,- 314.20. All world series records for attend ance and receipts and consequently for the players' share of the money are practically -certain to be broken in the present series. The total receipts for the first three games Is a record for the corresponding games, being $196, 638, as compared with $195,914 last year. The total attendance for the first three games, however, falls short of the record for three games by about 120(1. The figures are 100,502 this year; 101,783 last year. In the three games already played the players will share in $106,183.94 60 per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser. Players to Get 4OO0 Each. This compares with $127,910 for their! entire share last year. The fourth game of the series to be played in New York tomorrow is the last in which the players are entitled to share in the receipts. Officials connected with the business end of the contending clubs say the members of the winning club have about $4000 each. Last year the Philadelphia Athletics received $3654.58 each. After announcement had been made that if a ball hit one of the policemen standing in the outfield it would be still in play, the same as if it had hit a fence, O'Brien took his place in the pitching box and the first three offer ings to Devore were called balls by Umpire Evans. The fourth was a strike, and then Devore shot the next one over second for a single to the out field amid the cheers of the New York rooters. Doyle put up a high one to Tris Speaker and Devore was the sec ond out, when trying to steal second, Carrigan to Walker. Snodgrass also sent up a ny to Speaker. Boston was easy for New York in the first. Hooper sent up a fly which Fletcher got. Yerkes went out by the strike-out route and Speaker hit a weak grounder to Doyle, who tossed tho cen ter fielder out as he limped to the bag. Murray Klrat to .Score. Murray started the New York contin gent to cheering when he came up In the second inning and drove a hit to right center for two bases. Merkle laid down a neat sacrifice, going out, O Brien to Stahl. Murray reaching third. Mur ray then scored on Herzog's sacrifice fly to Hooper, the latter's throw being a little wide at the plate. Meyers was out, Gardner to Stahl. The Bed Sox got their first hit in the second inning -when Lewis sent a fast single to center. He reached second on Gardner s sacrifice, Herzog to MerRle. Murray gathered in Stahl's fly, holding Lewis on second, and Wagner fell a victim to consecutive strikes while tne Boston crowd yelled for a hit. In the- third inning Fletcher waited patiently and was rewarded with a base on balls and took second on Aiar quard's sacrifice, O'Brien to Stahl. Fletcher was left at the middle bag, for Devore went out on strikes and Doyle shot a hot liner right into Stalil's hands. If the ball had got away irom the Boston manager, Fletcher undoubt edly would have scored. Marquard Pussies Sox. Marauard was a complete puzzle to the home players that faced him in the third inning. Carrigan sent a high foul which Meyers got. O Brien and Hooper both fanned, to the dismay of the crowd. It was one-two-three for New York in the fourth inning. Snodgrass went out on a bounder to Yerkes, who tossed the ball to Stahl. and Murray and Mer kle sent slow grounders to O'Brien, who threw both men out at first. Yerkes In the fourth Inning for Bos ton filed to Fletcher and the New Yorks dressed' the field by having the out fielders back toward the fences, as Tris Speaker stepped to the plate. He hit to left field for a single and was forced at second by Lewis, who hit to Herzog. Gardner fiied to Murray. The Nationals scored their second and last run in the fifth inning. Herzog, who was playing gilt-edge ball, sent a mighty drive to left field, getting two bases. "Chief" Meyers put him on third by -his out, O Brien to Stahl. Fletcher then singled to right, and brought Her zog home. McGraw gave Fletcher the sign and the shortstop streaked for second and made the bag for a clean steal. Marquard got a base on balls, but was forced at second by Devore, Wagner to Yerkes, Fletcher taking third -on the out. Devore also stole sec ond and Bedient' warmed up as Doyle drew a base on balls. With the bases filled it looked bad for O'Brien, but he resolutely stuck to his job. He gave Snodgrass three balls and then put over two strikes. Snodgrass fouled off the next two balls and then sent up a fly which Lewis caught, ending the in ning. . Fans Acclaim O'Brien. The big crowd almost went wild as O'Brien walked to the bench. It was a bad hole to get out of, and the Boston fans breathed easier. Boston s half of the fifth brought out j two of the fielding features of the game. Stahl slashed one over Merkle's head that Devore fielded sharply, hold lng the Boston manager on first. Mey ers then let one of Marquard's wide ones get past him and Stahl made a dash for second. The big Indian was right on the ball, and by a long and ac curate throw, got the ball to the base ahead of Stahl,.. Doyle making the out. A moment later Wagner sent up a nigh fly that Murray seemingly lost in the sun. He ran un on the ball and then started hack rapidly to the fence. It looked as if the ball was going over his head, probably for a two-base hit, but Murray shot his hand in the air as he went backward and speared the ball. It was one of the best outfield plays of tne series. Carrigan ended the inning by going out, Marquard to Merkle. New York's sixth Inning was un eventful. Murray fouled out to Lewis. Merkle struck out and Herzog hit to Wagner, who tossed him out at first. In the Red Sox half O'Brien struck out. " Hooper filed to Doyle, and Yerkes hit to centerfield, but was left on first as Speaker sent a high foul fly to Meyers. O'Brien Work Nicely. New York's seventh inning was over quickly. Meyers struck out. . Fletcher was an easy victim, going out, Gardner to Stahl, and Marquard sent a slow grounder, which Stahl got and tossed to O'Brien, who covered first base. Everybody stood up. for the "lucky seventh," as Boston came to bat. Lewis was a quick out, Fletcher to Merkle, and Gardner sent up a foul ny to Mux ray. Then Stahl peeked out one of Marquard's good ones and lifted it high toward the left field fence. Mur ray backed to the fence and It looked like a sure home run over the high barrier, -but the ball struck near the top and bounded back into the crowd, Stahl getting two bases on the drive. It was the longest hit of the -game. Boston's fans saw the possibility of a run, but Wagner ended their hopes by sending up a fly to Devore. The Giants got In two hits in the eighth, but were unable to put a man across the plate. Devore opened with a solid single to left and was held at first while Doyle went out on a fly to Lewis. Snodgrass came through with a single to left and Devore stopped at second. Murray filed to Lewis and Merkle ended the inning by forcing bnodgrass at second, Wagner -to Yerkes. Two Pinch Hitters FalL In Boston's half of the eighth, Engle batted for Carrigan and filed to Mur ray. Neal Ball, whose claim to fame Is an unassisted triple play against the Red Sox while he was a member of the Cleveland team, batted for O'Brien and struck out. Marquard here gave his only base on balls, the gift going to Hooper, who was left at first as Yerkes ended the Inning by going out, Herzog to Merkle. Bedient and Cady were the battery for the Red Sox when New York came to bat in the ninth. The first thing Bedient iia was to hit Herzog, who was sent to first. - On an attempted steal Herzog was out. Cady to Yerkes. Meyers singled to center and the only double play of the game here ended New York's Inning when Fletcher sent a long fly to Speaker -who doubled up Meyers on a throw to first. Meyers did not know the ball had been caught until he had almost reached third base. Then came the dramatic finish. For Boston, Speaker who limped to the plate, filed out to Fletcher. Lewis singled to right and gardner drove one to right field for two bases, scor ing Lewis. Crowd Yells at Marquard. The crowd begefn to stamp their feet and yell at Marquard, but the New York pitcher kept his nerve. Stahl was called upon to duplicate his drive of the seventh Inning, but the best he could do was to hit a slow grounder to Marquard, who, taking the fielder's choice, threw Gardner out at third. Henriksen took Stahl's place at first to run for him and Wagner sent a grounder to Fletcher, who threw to Merkle. The game seemed over but Merkle dropped the ball and Wagner was safe. Henriksen sprinted to third on the play. The din set up by the crowd was terrific as Cady came to bat. Wagner stole second and the crowd cheered. A hit meant the winning of the game and Cady tried hard for it. He sent a long high fly to deep right field which Devore raced to reach. No one believed he would get it, but the little New Yorker managed to get under the drive and saved the day for New York. It was a great, catch. The score: NEW YORK.

FIRE COfllTTEE TEMPERS EXPLODE Attempt to Let Contracts for Auto Apparatus Ends in Fizzle. SHORT, UGLY WORD USED John Perry and Dr. H. C. Fixott Have Uvely Tilt on Reasons and Merits for Recommendations. Second Meeting Today. A difference of opinion among mem bers of the fire committee of the Ex ecutive Board as to which one ot half a dozen companies should receive the contract for $70,000 worth of automo bile fire apparatus for the Portland fire department yesterday caused hot words, personalities and a general fuss at a meeting of the committee and resulted in the committee adjourning without making any awards of con tracts. The trouble started when each of "the three members of the committee sent to Denver to inspect fire apparatus, made a different report and different recommendations as to what type of apparatus should be purchased. This situation led up to, hot words between John Perry and Dr. H. C. Fixott each of whom accused the other of having - some unusual interest in desiring to place the contract with companies they favored openly. Dr. Fixott stood " out for aerial trucks manufactured by the Seagrave Com pany and for other .equipment manu factured by the Nott Company, while Mr. Perry stood solidly for purchasing all of the apparatus from A. G. Long, of Portland, representative of the Amerlcan-Ia France Company. D. Soils Cohen stood with Mr. Perry, while Mayor Rushlight sided with Dr. Fixott insofar as he considered It best to purchase one of each type of machine and give them all a trial. Ugly Word Is Used. Dr. Fixott started the fuss with Mr. Perry when he said, "I am not sur prised at the stand taken by Mr. Ferry because he told me six months ago that he was in favor of the La France apparatus and nothing would change his mind. "You're a liar." retorted Mr. Perry. "I never told you . anything of the kind and you know better." Mayor Rushlight interfered as words grew hot and peace then reigned until Mr. Perry attacked Dr. Fixott's stand on the machine question.' "When the Mayor was called upon to appoint the committee to go to Denver," he said, "I opposed the' ap pointment of Dr. Fixott because I did not believe he would give a fair de cision for reasons that I will try to explain." Dr. Fixott began to make a hot reply when Mayor Rushlight again inter fered and told both members of the committee that their actions were very unbecoming to men of their standing. The committee then tried to arrange a method of letting the contract which would be satisfactory to all, but no headway could be made, inasmuch as the members stood out for the different makes of machines and their stands could not ' be changed. The meeting finally adjourned until 2 o'clock this afternoon, when another attempt will be made to reach an agreement. La France Finds Favor. The three members of the committee which went to Denver to inspect fire apparatus were Dr. Fixott, Councilman Maguire and Fire Chief Dowell. They all three signed one report In which no recommendation as to the type of machinery to be purchased was made. Mention was, however, made in this report that the La France make was as good as any seen in Denver. Councilman Maguire suDmittea an Individual report in which he asked for the purchase of all La France machines excepting the pump wagon, which, he said, should be readvertised becduse none of the machines shown at Denver came up to specifications. Dr. Fixott recommended the purchase of Nott Uni versal engines at (8750; Seagrave Aerial trucks at 11,050, and Koblnson com bination hose and chemical wagons at $5300. Fire Chief Dowell recommended tne purchase of all La France apparatus. Dr. Fixott announced tnat ne Deneveo. the Nott machinery was Just as good as the La France and was considerably cheaper, and for that reason he wanted that make purchased. Mr. Perryxstood out for the La France make because gSji'?!,Hvy'Ixc55 f THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPMENT of a particular preference for any piano before pur chasing should be based upon, not sentiment, not price, not quality, not name, although the qualifies in all these respects, but upon these three combines vital requirements in the intelligent selec tion of an instrument.
