ing facta m hurled into the Democratic
camp last night by Senator Albert J.
Beverldge, of Indiana, who addressed an
audience of 8500 people at the Armory.
Fully 4O00 were turned away from the

duced Senator C. W. Fulton who present
ed 'Senator Beverldge as a "dirtlngulshed
statesman, a leader of his ?xt. and one
of the greatest thinkers of (he country."
Party of Many ChaucJ.
Senator Beverldge vigorously aaailed
th Democratic party, its ps. history
mA t v nnHoLika TOrvan and hie frj'.sveva
are now advocating. He critlcuKo the
Democrats as a party which proposed
nnllrlmi one year only to abandon them
the next and Insisted that there existed
no demand for a change In administration
at thlatime. from the fact that Taft la
th Roosevelt nollcies personified.
Tha Senator pointed out that the fal
lacy of tha different policies Bryan had
advanced In the past had been demon
strated and alleged that the reforms .on
which- tha Nebraskan now based his
' claim to tha Presidency were equally un
stable. Furthermore, It waa asserted
that if elected. Bryan would not be abla
to carry out any of hia policlaa for the
reason that ha would be opposed by at
Uaat two-thlrde of the Democratic mem
bers of tha Senate.
Challenge Thrown to Opponenta.
Senator Beverldge challenged the Demo
crats in the audience to suggest a single
law. passed by Congress during tha last
seven years, for whose repeal they would
ask. Tariff for revenue only waa defined
at considerable length and contrasted
with the plan of tariff revision that has
been proposed by tha Republicans, con
slating of a double tariff as a substitute
for tha straight protective tariff. He de
clared that Bryan'a franchise plan, IX en
forced, would ruin the business of tha
country.
At the cloea of his address. Senator
Beverldge shook hands with several hun
dred persons and waa presented with a
magnificent bouquet of roses In honor of
his birthday.

YOUNG FELLOW, DIDN'T YOU
Decision on National
League Tie Game.
GIANTS MAY REFUSE TO PLAY
Possible Three Teams May Be
Tied at Finish.
PITTSBURG REVIVES HOPE
Directors Reject Both Appeals and
Open Way to Unprecedented
Condition New York Wins
. Again From Boston.
CINCINNATI, O., Oct . For the
first time in the history of the Na
tional League clubs, a post-season
game for the settlement of the cham
pionship, is announced for Thursday of
this week, the tangle that arose over
the last series In New Tork between
the New Tork and Chicago clubs hav
ing brought a decision today from the
National League directors . to that
effect
For nearly two days and a large part
of one night the directors listened to
evidence and considered the matter In
Its various phases, and finally an
nounced their decision late this after
noon. Chairman Ebbetts made a little
speech before asking August Hermann
to read the text of the decision, calling
attention to the importance of the case
and the care that had been taken to
give propeX consideration to all Inter
ested. .
Both Appeals Turned Down..
Two protests were up for decision,
on appeals from the ruling of Presi
dent Pulliam. New Tork appealed from
the decision sustaining the ruling of
the umpires 'that a game played Sep
tember 23 was a tie, and the second
was an appeal by Chicago from the de
cision that It was not entitled to a for
feited game scored under " the league
constitution. In boili cages' the league
president was sustained. It was held
that the protest of Chicago In regard
to the first game . had prevented the
playing of the second.
Three Teams May Tie.
After the decision was announced,
Mr. Ebbetts was asked whether It was
optional with the clubs about playing
the game, or whether later develop
ments In the way of a victory for Bos
ton over New Tork In the present
series, would affect the decision. He
answered emphatically that the de
cision was mandatory, and that later
conditions would be considered when
they arose. . ,
This decision ma'kes possible a three
team tie. If New Tork loses tomor
row's game to Boston and defeats Chi
cago in the tie game, the per centage

a principality tributary of Turkey. Many
years ago Bulgaria acquired the right ta
have diplomatic representatives accredited
to all the great powers. She maintained
such a representative at Constantinople.
Until recently the diplomatic representa
tive of Bulgaria to Turkey was invitetl,
with the other member's of the diplomatic
corps in Constantinople, to all of the
ceremonies.- receptions and dinners. On
the 12th of last September, the occasion
being the - annlverslty of the. Sultan's
birthday, the Turkish minister of for
eign affairs gave a dinner to the diplo
matic corps, to which the diplomatic rep
resentative of Bulgaria was not invited.
Steps were at once taken to secure an
explanation of this neglect. Tle Turkish
government, replied that th . Bulgarian
representative had no right to expect
art Invitation to this diplomatic dinner,
as Bulgaria was a vassal state of Turkey.
"There then followed a diplomatic con
flict between Bulgaria (ind Turkey.. Bul
