All Will End Well.
T.A GRANDE, Or.. Oct 12.-(9peciaL-A
wild ride la auto to Elgin. 20 mile
away. Friday, to gain possession of a
questionable note, baa precipitated tem
porary suspension of the Farmers
Traders National Bank of this city. The
frank i Incorporated with a capital of
j.,0.00 and Its last report ehowed deposits
of'jis.ooa. , , ,
While the bank has been closed since
morning, it la believed it will be reopened
vn a reorganized plan in the near future.
Hank Examiner Gatch la expected here
tomorrow to take charge of the books.
The most logical solution of the bank s
trouble thus far advanced is that the di
rectors were suspicious, and when It was
r.olaed ahout that a note had been forged
on N. K. West for t0O depositors be
came alarmed.
Cashier In Xervona Collapse.
Publicity was given to the alleged fraud
Faturday night, and officials of the bank
realizing that a run would follow this
morning thought it beat to close the in
stitution until Examiner Gatch can make
Us report. Until then the public la in
the dark as to the real trouble, knowing
nothing except that a money stringency
does not exist wuhln the Institution If
the last published bank statement la cor
rect. Cashier Scrlber. now suffering with
nervous collapse and unabla to be Inter
viewed at length, declared thia afternoon
that the bark Is solvent, and that should
there be any discrepancy anywhere, his
private fortune will be brought forward
to reimburse the stockholders.
This afternoon he refused to discuss
the forgery rumor, saying everything
would be brought to light by the report
of the examiner.
Wild Auto Race Made.
The bank at Kigtn held a note on West,
of this city, and when It came due Fri
day asked for Instructions from West.
Then it became known to him that some
thing was wrong. In an auto West sped
toward Elgin personally to see the note,
declaring he had not signed euch an in
strument. Scrlher also secured an automobile
and. according to West, reached Elgin
first. When West arrived the note had
been taken up. West refuses to talk
about the matter.
It Is said no prosecution will follow
ehould there be any disclosures.
Beliere Bank Will Jteopen.
The belief prevails that the claims
aculnst the Institution will be paid In
full and that there will be a speedy re
organization of the bank and that It will
continue in business aa usual. The last
ofnclal statement of the bank's condition
was made September 23. At that time
the bank had lonns and discounts of
111. 000; other resources amounting to
about Jo.t0 and cash on hand of fciT.Ort).
The deposits amounted to 3190.000. Among
the heaviest depositors are: I'nion County.
:.'"": sheriffs office. 3-T0O0; city and
svhool district. tff0; Amalgamated Sugar
Vmpany, $10.jOO. and other various
amounts ranging from $1000 to $.VW0.
There waa little excitement caused by
the failure of the bank to open ita doors.
GUARD FLAG AT TOWER-TOP
Sophomores Spend "ight in Air to
Protect Class Emblem.
rVLI.MAN. Wash, Oct. 12. (Spe
cial.) Spreading their blankets on the
narrow space at the top of the tower
of the new Auditorium building of the
htate College, four sophomores spent
the night slumbering 160 feet above
the ground to defend their class flag
frnn freshmen.
The climax In class rivalry was
Teached Saturday night when the soph
omores, tinder cover of the darkness,
floated their banner from the flagstaff
of the new Auditorium building. The
only access to Its roof was by means of
a ladder leading to a email trap door,
ome 20 feet above the landing. At
t o'clock In the morning about 75 mem-r-era
of the '12 class had congregated
to attack the stronghold. As fast aa
tliev gamed the trapdoor leading to the
roof their fingers were rapped with a
stick and each freshman beat a retreat.
A couple of rifles were pressed Into
service, and a dozen or more shots
failed to bring down the banner. The
firing aroused the gtrls In the dormi
tory, and by 6 o'clock the fracas had a
go.-nlly crowd of spectators. At 7
o'clock a couple of daring sophomores
succeeded In getting some breakfast to
f?eir classmates on the tower by the
aid of a long rope. When school opened
at 8 o'clock the sophomores were still
perched hteh on the roof. At noon
I'resldent Bryan ordered each class to
take down Its banner.

Speech to Children.
WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, O..
Oct. 12. In the Bhort speech he delivered
before 8 o'clock this morning to the resi

little later, Mr. Taft demonetrated that
his voice i in excellent condition, not
withstanding the three weeks of constant
campaigning he has undertaken.
Senator Smith, of Michigan, who is with
Mr. Taft, said Michigan would give the
Republican party 80.000 plurality.
As Judge Taft concluded a brief address
at Salina and introduced Senator Smith,
some one said:
"Judge, just say a word to the chil

crowd.
"My dear children," remarked the can

DETROIT WINS ONE GAME
(Continued From First Fage.)
four times. His stinging single to right
In the first drove in O'Leary with the
first run of the game. In the fourth he
reached first on a fielder's choice, but in
the sixth he beat out his slow grounder,
scoring Mclntyre. In the eighth his
sprinting ability enabled him tp make a
doubie of a hit which with a less speedy
man would have been good for only one
base. In the next Inning he singled and
not only stole second but also stole third
by a narrow margin. He had no oppor
tunities in the field, to the great regret
of his admirers In the stands.
Others whose work contributed ma
terially to the victory were O'Leary,
Crawford and Rossman. each of whom
made two hits, although Rossman and
O'Leary were both charged with errors.
To Mullln. however, the greatest credit
was awarded by the spectators. Even
In the fourth Inning, when all three of
Chicago's runs were scored, he never
faltered. His nerve remained steady,
his arm strong and his control excellent.
The -only base on balls which he allowed
was turned into a run by Chicago.
Attendance Is Slim.
Despite the fact that the sun shone
brightly today and the temperature was
higher than yesterday, only 14,453 paid
admissions were registered at the var
ious turnstiles, netting total receipts of
$;2,867. Dawn did not find the usual
line of eager would-be purchasers at the
ticket windows. It was 8 o'clock before
a single line formed and when play be
gan there were still vacant seats in the
more distant bleachers. The seats, how
ever probably would have been filled had
It not been that many of the spectators
chose to occupy temporary seats In the
overflow grounds on the right, center and
left fields.
The game was scheduled to begin at 3
o'clock, but was postponed 45 minutes,
waiting for the arrival of late comers to
Oil the unoccupied seats.
Detroit First to Score.
Detroit was the first to score. In its
half of the first Inning. O'Leary. wtth
one out. lined one too hot for Steinfeldt.
Ha went to second on Crawford's out and
GAMP
came home on Cobb's single to short
Only one more hit and no more runs was
the best Detroit could do until the sixth,
when the Detroiters. in a fine rally, came
from behind and. as it proved, put the
game safely away." Mullin, the first man
np. when three balls had been put acrosa
the plate, disdainfully moved away from
the plate and Pfeister was unable to get
the fourth one over. Mclntyde singled
to left and O'Leary laid down a nice bunt
which filled the bases, and Pfeister failed
to catch Mullln at third.
Runs Come in Bunch.
With none out. the Michigan contingent
cheered wildly as Crawford came to bat.
The sturdy center fielder swung viciously
and the resulting grounder was alto
gether too hot for Chance to hold. While
Chance was whirling frantically around
seeking the ball. Mullin crossed the plate
and the other runners advanced a base
each, leaving every point still occupied
by a Tiger runner. The fleet Cobb beat
out his own slow bounder to Tinker, and
Mclntyre scored, the bases being still
full as before, with none out. Rossman
singled to right, scoring O'Leary and
Crawford, while Cobb made the circuit
from first to the end. Hofman captured
Schaefer's fly to center and with a per
fect throw caught Cobb at the plate.
Thomas doubled to right field, scoring
Rossman, but the rungetting carnival was
stopped when Evers threw Coughlin out
at first.
Pfeister held the Detroiters hltless In
the seventh, but he was pounded hard
in the eighth. Cobb hit to left for two
bases. Rossman beat out a pretty bunt,
sending Cobb to third. Schaefer flew out
to right and Rossman moved up to sec
ond on Schulte'a throw to the plate, hold
ing Cobb at third. Thomas walked, fill
ing the bases. Cobb scored on Coughlin's
out to Sheckard. Mullln hit safely to
Chance, scoring Rossman. This ended
the Detroit scoring, but they had all
they needed, and more.
How Chicago Scored.
The story of Chicago's scoring Is r.ot a
long one. although it looked in the fourth
Inning as if the world's champions were
going to repeat the successes of Satur
day and Sunday. After striking Sheck
ard out, Mullin gave Evers his bass on
balls and the little second baseman, be
ing caught off first by Mullin, raced to
second and was safe on Rossman's high
throw. Schulte fouled out. but Chance
singled, scoring Evers. Chance stole
second and came home when Coughlin
made a bad throw of Stelnfeldfs
grounder. Steinfeldt scored Chicago's
third and last run when Hofman tripled
withone over Coughlin's head.
President Murphy, of the Chicago team,
remained in his office throughout the
game, owing to a severe cold. He stated
that he would not accompany the team to
Detroit to see the games tomorrow and
Wednesday, as his doctor has advised him
to cure his present Indisposition before
exposing himself. Score:
