DIFFERENT WITH COLLINS After Colling Went Into the Box New York Made No More Buns, But Bos ton Tiled up Two In the Second After That There Was Nothing Do JngT on Either Side Scries Now Stands Boston 3, New York 2. (By Grantland Rice.) New York, Oct. 14. Driven to bay, the Giants led a laut rushing desper ate assault against the Red Sox ma chine today and tore It apart within one round. Marquard pitched his pals to a romping, cakewalk victory by the count of 5 to 2. The Rube, as in his first start, broke the Boston attack at every turn, and after one rickety round the second stopped Stahl's clashing sluggers with a thud. Tonight the Giants move back to Boston for another game stand, where Jeff Tesreau and Joe Wood hook up for the third clash. The flrt round today settled the tattle. Stahl stuck In Buck O'Brien, and the Giants were ready. Knowing they had their backs against the wall, they rushed the Red Sox spitballist with such savage ferocity that he was on the ropes In a twinkling, when he was Blammed for six hits and five runs before Stahl could get another pitcher warmed up and Into the fray Collins followed O'Brien In the sec ond round, rolling back the Giants' rushes by wonderful pitching sure and effective but his brilliant work went to seed. For, working on that five-run lead, the Rube, after one short lapse through over-confidence settled to his task and breezed in under wraps. From the second round he was never In trouble, and sharp sure support by his mates did the rest That first assault on O'Brien was a classic. Doyle led off with a hit and steal. Then, with two out, Murray singled; Merkle doubled; Herzog doubled, Meyers singled, and Fletcher dumped a bunt which squeeezd the In dlun over with the fifth run. But this wasn't all. for, in the middle of that wild melee and medley, O'Brien balked Doyle home with the first run, and Meyers and Herzog flashed a double steal.. In the second round Marquard erred on Gardner's tap, Stahl singled, and Engle's drtuble, linked to Devore's hoot, cost two runs. But from that nerlod on, the two southpawB worked In matchless fashion, and the scoring closed' abruptly. The came was the last one to be foueht In New York. Tomorrow's game goes to Boston, and when the flln was made for the deciding bat tle ground, In case the Giants win again Tuesday, Boston won the toss, and gets two games at home In order to decide the series Lineup: Same as Saturday, with exception of batteries.

Full corrobora tlcn of the story told Saturday by 'Bald Jack Rose that Police Lleuten' ant Charles Becker wanted Gambler Herman Rosenthal "killed, dynamited or croaked," was given today by Bridgey" Webber when the trial of Becker on a charge of having instigat ed the murder of Rosenthal was ro sumed. "If the man Rosenthal," Webber swore Docker said to him, "ever sees Whitman, it's all off. Why don't you boys have him croaked? I'll take care of you fellows after the Job Is done." Webber, who is alleged to have been In charge of the gangsters who killed Rosenthal, testified that he told Beck er ha would "pull off the Job in a few days.. But Becker, he said, kept after him to hurry up.' Webber then described the meeting of the gunmen on July 15, when ar rangements were completed for slay ing Rosenthal. The witness testified that he met Becker, Harry Vallon, Rose and Sam Schepps Just a short time before Ro senthal was killed. Justice Goff today told attorneys and the newspaper men that gangsters, using reporters' passes, were admitted to the courtroom last Saturday. Here- cfter, Justice Goof said, no one would Le admitted without a card bearing his (Goff's) signature. Webber testified that he located Ro senthal at the Hotel Metropole on the night of the murder, that he told the gunmen who loft Immediately for the scene. The witness said he went to the Metropole at 2:10 In the morning, and saw Rosenthal's body lying on the sidewalk. At 5 o'clock that mrtrnlng Webber said, he met Becker and ftose. Beck er, he said, was smiling, and said to him, after shaking hands: "Well, Bridgey, you did a good Job. Don't worry. I told you. I would see you through. The only thing necessary now Is for you boys to lay low a few days." Then Webber swore, Rose gave him $1000 to distribute among the gunmen.

GREETING! i i Today the ownership of the Daily and Weekly Capital Journal passed into the hands of the Barnes-Taber Company, and as fast as the edition leaves the press to meet its old friends, and, perhaps, some new ones, it carries with it not only the greetings of the new management, but also the sincere hope and desire that the people of this substantial and growing city of Sa lem, this beautiful and prosperous Willamette Valley, and this grand and resourceful state of Oregon will receive the paper and the new management with as kindly a spirit as the new man agement already bears towards each and every one who receives this the initial issue. We have come here to live. We want to be your friends, and we want you to be ours. We like this city we like its people. It is with you that we want to turn over the pages of future development and future years. We are evidencing our desires and our intentions in a most sub stantial manner we are investing our money with you the greatest of all evidences of busi ness sincerity. The policy of The Capital Journal, under the new management, first, last and always, will be unswerving loyalty to Salem, her citizens, her institutions, and her friends. We are bound to no corporations, factions, cliques or individuals, nor will we ever be bound to any. The Capital Journal, under the new management, expects at all times to keep closely m touch with the political situation. Our policy being independent, we will support the best man, ir respective of his political beliefs, and once we select our man we will support him absolutely win or lose there will be no eleventh-hour changes. The paper will take no active part in the forthcoming election we have not been here long enough to know people or to know conditions we will treat all candidates equally courteously and we only hope that the best man wins. In conclusion, let us say that we are buying The Capital Journal, and assuming the manage ment, quietly and modestly we have no radical changes to suggest, nor any radical policies to foster. We feel at this time that we are entitled to the confidence and the support of the citizens and business men of this community we ask for these until we prove ourselves unworthy and when we do prove ourselves unworthy, we know that neither confidence nor support will be forthcoming. . And with this we make our bow. BARNES-TABER COMPANY. By Graham P. Taber. EflGLEWOOD PEOPLE MEET WED. NIGHT TO HEAR DISCISSION OF SEWEK BOND CONTROVERSY CAXDI. DATES COMING OUT FOB THE INITIATIVE. There will be another meeting of the citizens of the sixth ward on Wed nesday evening to hear the sewer bond Issue discussed. The meeting will be held in the assembly room of the En glewood school house. At the meet ing Friday night at the Highland school there were about 150 voters present, and City Superintendent Kuntz was Introduced and thanked for the courtesy of allowing the. people to hold a meeting there. He said the school houses would always be open to the peoiple for non-political and non-sectarian meetings, In reply from one of the committee as to their use. Supt. Kuntz made his ' bow to the people at Highland, and was well re ceived. At the Highland meeting the Initiative bill was endorsed by an overwhelming vote, and the seventh ward resolution adopted. The argu ments presented were not met by any one fur the opposition, Grant Corby being detained at another meeting. But it Is understood that Mr. Corby will be at the Englewood meeting Wednesday night. Candidate Waring, who Is In the primary contest for mayor, was present, and was called out He unqualifiedly stated that he would enforce every detail of the Ini tiative bill, If It Is carried by the peo ple. He showed the Injustice of pay ing off the sewer debt of $189,000 for South Salem, which had been de clared Illegal and void by the su preme court, and letting the people of the north half of the city pay their own assessment and pay for South Salem, too, and pay their Bhare of the $69,000 refunding the old bonds Issued for the three sewers built through the old main part of the city. CoJ. Hofer spoke for the Initiative bill, as the only way to clean up the situation and relieve all the property of the city that had been assessed from all liens and encumbrances. He showed that the Initiative bill was carefully drawn bo that property owners would pay only for their house conncctl;i, within the block, and he contended that was the right principle for the construction of sewers. The city had started in that way, and then the city had changed to the district plan of construction. He showed that the whole complicated situation wns caused by defective work of assess ments, under the district system, and It was not the fault of the people that the system had broken down. It was providential, he said, that It had failed and the supreme court had knocked It out on account of extreme Irregular ities In defining the boundaries and Inequalities of making the assess ments. TJiat gave an opportunity to got back to the right way of having the sewer system built and owned by the whole city. He contended that the city alone had full and exclusive po lice and sanitary power to build and maintain a swerape system. The city alone had the power to flush and clean the sewers; or take up and re pair them, when they broke down any where outside of the block area. To allow assessments against the prop erty owner for "any distance beyond the block opened the doors for grafts In the way of arbitrary assessments, over which the citizen had no control. He also argued for the popular loan plan under which the citizen would take the bonds of the city, and the Interest be kept at home. He con tended that the city recorder should be given additional clerical assistance to enable him to try the Justice court business, and not allow the fees In state cases to be pocketed by officials already on a flat salary. A. Ray Bak er, who is a candidate for alderman In the fourth ward, declares he will stand on the seventh ward platform, and It Is expected other candidates will be at the Knglewood meeting. JOURNAL WILL HAVE flEW PRESS WILL ADD MATERIALLY TO THE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE, UNTIL IT IS IN EVERY WAY FIRST CLASS. As has already been chronicled by the city papers the Capital Journal has been purchased by the Darncs-Ta-ber company, the new management having taken possession today. The ne owners expect to install a new press as soon as possible and to, In many ways, add to and Improve the present mechanical equipment. Else where in this Issue will bo found an outline of the Intentions and policies of the new management. , His Horse Threw Him Roy Dates, a young man 25 years of age, while riding a horse on South Commercial street In the vicinity of the cemeteries, was thrown and badly shaken up yesterday forenoon.
