RUTH GETS INTO FRENZY
After Third Pass Bambino Sets
Himself for Steal Home, but
Is Stranded by Out.
BT CRANTLAND RICE.
(Staff 'Writer for the New York Tribune.
Published by Arrangement.) .
NEW TOr.K, Oct. 6. (Special.)
The western front Is now a somber
memory of half-filled trenches and
grass-covered dugouts, where only
forgotten ghosts and rain-washed
crosses remain.
But from the glory of Verdun, Colo
nel Tllfinghast Husten of the 16th
engineers brought back this slogan
and rammed it down the throats of
his world series ball club "They
hall not pass."
Carl Mays and his mates responded
nobly to this slogan Wednesday. And
today young Waite Hoyt of Brooklyn,
hardly more than a mashle shot from
his school desk at Brasmus hall, tied
the Giants Into a row of true lovers'
knots, whilo 34,000 fans again looked
on In wonder at the unwavering
staunchness of the Yankee defense.
Youth's Speed Blinding;.
Young Hoyt, aged 22, beat Art
Nehf, the left-hander, 3 to 0, with one
of the best-pitched games that ever
graced a basball battle of the cham
pionship of the civilized world, Tur
key and certain parts of Russia.
The Brooklyn blonde of tender years
ind blinding speed held the depressed
Giants to a brace of singles, and one
of these was full of fuzz. The one
clean blow against him boi nded from
the bat of Frank irisch in the closing
canto, with the Yankess three runs to
the good and on their way to another
romp. v
As a result of the Mays-Hoyt com
bination, only two Giants have dis
covered what a base hit tasted like
for, outside of Frlsch and Rawlings,
the others have been turned back into
the coop without the semblance of a
blow.
Crowd Capacity One.
There were no bald spots in the
vast arena On. thl3 occasion, as a
capacity crowd, emerging slightly
from its opening trance, saw Hoyt -nd
his supporting cast crowd the Giants
into a hole as deep and dark as the
mouth of a railroad tunnel, where
they must now win five out of the
next seven games to Bcatter the
world-series hoodoo that started
haunting them ten years ago. The
great crowd, neutral at the start, be
gan to develop f.athes of partisan
flame as Earl Smith of the Giants
and Bob Meusel of the Yanks opened
a spicy personal debate that at
one time came near leading to an
exchange of personally conducted
punches.
This partisan flame rose to an
even greater glow as Art .Nehf began
ripping off a series of passes to Babe
Ruth, who was as much obliged as
If Art had slipped him a poisoned
Quince. After the third successive
pass Yankee rooter began to slip
Nehf the old chorus from the rasp
berry sextet as they wore all wrought
up at the merry and giddy prospect
of seeing the bambino lift one over
the orchard wall.
Bnbe Himself Worked Up.
The Babe himself became worked
vp to such a frenzy after his third
pass that In the fifth frame he etole
second and third on two pitched balls
and was In the act of pilfering the
plate when Meusel's out left him
stranded only a half-knot out of port.
With Ruth foiled after completing
two-thirds of his triple steal. Bob
Meusel tore a page out of Mc.N'ally's
diary in the eighth by stealing home
s the ball bounded out of Smith's
glove with Meusel 20 feet away.
The Giants, who were expected to
come back with a rush in the second
game, were, again branded with the
Yankee trademark of great pitching
In front of an Impregnable defense.
For 18 Innings they have floundered
around in their vain groping for a
single run. They believed the main
fury of the storm had passed when
Carl Mays stepped aside, but the
Brooklyn kid held them in even
greater subjection as he breezed a
fast ball and a curve by their flutter
ing bats through inning after inning,
as cool and collected as another
Matty from other years.
Hoyt Backed I'p Well.
There were old timers in the crowd
who shook their beads as the kid
continued to crowd his speed over the
plate, almost certain that he must
weaken in the closing stretch. But
when he wobbled slightly In the
ninth, his brilliant lfifleld throttled
the last Giant rally with a daring
double play that took no notice of a
runner rounding third.
Hoyt, surrounoed by auch Iron-
ribbed support, was too (rood to be
1, paten, forjwhllehe gave four passes
Sighting of Wrecked Motor Craft
Off Lower California Recently
lias Increased Alarm.
SAM FRANCISCO, Oct. 6. Search

York on board, according to relatives
of Mrs. Goewen here.

THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington D. C, Oct. 6. Senator
Poindexter urged the acting director

recommended that the North Powder

FLEET HIT BY FUEL LACK
Cancellation of Winter Maneuvers
Being Considered.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 6. The
possibility that the winter maneu
vers of the combined Atlantic and
Pacific fleets may have to be can
celed because of lack of an adequate
supply of fuel oil has been consid
ered by the navy department. It was
learned today. A decision by offi
cials on the question of abandoning
the carefully planned trials in the
Pacific or of requesting a further ap
propriation from congress for fuel is
expected within a few days.
Naval estimates for fuel for the
current year were cut in half in the
approved bill and the supply thus
made available, according to naval
officials, is not sufficient to permit
the department to carry out its programme.
HOTELS REDUCE RATES
Restaurants In Spokane Also Cut
Prices for Food.
SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 6. (Spe
cial.) Price reductions averaging 10
per cent for hotel rooms and meals
in hotel restauran's have been made,
local hotel managers announced to
day. The reduction in restaurant food
prices was due to reduction in ex
penses because of the decrease in
wage of Waitresses from 318 a week
to 314.50 authorized by the state min
imum wage commission, and which
went into effect Tuesday of this
week. The decrease in rates of hotel
rooms was not due to the cut in
wages of the hot'-l chambermaids,
managers of the hosteleries stated.
Question of Raising First-Class to
Be Threshed Out by Commit
tee in Bay or Two.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 6. Re
publican senate leaders, in conference
today, agreed upon a tentative tax
revision programme which they be
lieve will close the principal gap
within their party ranks In the sen
ate and prove acceptable to the re
publicans in the house.
Main points In the programme are
cn Increase In the maximum surtax
rate from 32 per cent to 60 per cent
andrepeal of the tax on freight, pas
senger and Pullman transportation.
It Is proposed to repeal the 32000
exemption allowed corporations, which
would mean an additional 160,000,000
of revenue from corporate sources;
retain the corporation capital stock
tax, estimated to yield 375.000.000
next year, and repeal thevarious so
called nuisance taxes, such as those
on soda water, cosmetics, proprietary
medicines and the like.
Estate Taxes Dlscnaaed.
There also was said to have been
a tentative agreement to increase the
estate taxes so as to have a maximum
( f 40 or 50 per cent on estates in ex
cess of 1100,000,000. The present
maximum, Is 25 per cent on estates of
310.000,000.
Most leaders were understood to
have favored the committee proposal
for a flat tax of 15 per cent on cor
poration Incomes, but there was some
discussion of a graduated tax, with
the rate 10 per cent on .corporations
having an income of 350,000,000 or
less yearly.
The question of increr.aed first
class postage rates and other mat
ters are to be threshed out at a meet
ing of republican members of the
finance committee, to be called In a
day or two.
Amendments to Be Drawn. j
In advance of this meeting Senator
Lenroot of Wisconsin and Senator Mc
Cormlck of Illinois are to draw up
amendments embodying the proposed
changes for presentation to the re
publicans. It is the plan to have the
amendments presented on the floor as
committee proposals, with a view of
expediting action on the tax bill.
In framing their programme the
leaders considered and rejected the
Smoot manufacturers' sales tax plan
Much Yet to Be Bone, but Nation Is
- Declared Beflnltely on Road
to Prosperity.
! MTW YORK. Oct. (. National In
dustry today Is in the early spring
time of recovery, having entered the
period of easier credits. Secretary of
Commerce Hoover told members of
the American Manufacturers' Export
association at their annual dinner
tonight. This was marked, he said,
by the rise in the price, of bonds
and the fall In federal reserve and
interest rates generally, tte' em
phasized that he did not wish to be
understood as saying that the coun
try is on the threshhold of aoom.
"We have a long way to go to get
back to economic stability," he said.
"We have yet to go through with
much readjustment in price levels,
but we are definitely on the road."
Citing other evidence of recovery.
Secretary Hoover said there had been
a very definite increase during the
last two months in the production of
textiles, coal, - Iron, steels, shoes,
building materials and building con
struction. '
"There is. In the construction in
dustries. he continued, "even a
larger activity than at this time a
year ago. Our exports of foodstuffs
have not only been Increasing, but
they are also larger in volume than
those of a year ago, and this without
any forced measures of foreign gov
ernment credits."
The destructive effect of violent
fluctuations in. foreign exchange, he
said, was the first obstruction to
American foreign trade, and until
some measure of stability could be
secured from month to month, there
was little hope that the foreign trade
of thli or any other country would
recover to normal.
"There can be no hope of stability
in anr of the world's exchanges," he
added, "so long as Inflation continues
in so considerable a part of the
world.
"I am perfectly well aware that we
should not interest ourselves as a
government in stabilizing the budgets
and establishing sound currencies in
foreign countries, but unless our com
mercial community is willing in some
way to interest itself in the countries
struggling with fiscal - and commer
cial problems, we must expect to pay
many thousand fold in the loss of
export markets and in the employ
ment of our people. It should not
be beyond the intelligence of the
hitman race to secure such a solu
tion of this matter as would result
in some stabilization of . the German
mark. Better arrangement of this
matter must take priority if we are
to see stability in any of' ths Euro
pean currencies."
Secretary Hoover said there had
been a great response to the recom
mendations sent out by the unem
ployment conference last Saturday
and to the president's appeal that
they should be transformed into
community action.

FOREST GROVE. Or.. Oct. 6. (Spe
cial.) There Is a probability that a
large Methodist hospital to cost be
tween 3300,000 and $375,000 will be
built In Portland, it was learned yes
terday In connection with a plan
worked out by Bishop William O.
Shepard. whereby the First Metho
dist church and former Wilbur church
members will utilize the old Taylor-
street church property at Third and
Taylor streets as a means of financing
the project.
This property has been appraised
at 3130,000, and the plan worked out
by Bishop Shepard provides that it
shall either be sold or the income
from it used toward the erection of
the big hospital. Agreements with
all the heirs have been sealed cover
Ing any claims they might have had
and papers have been drawn up and
signed by the bishop and the trustees
of the First' church whereby it is
agreed that that church will deed the
property at Third and Taylor streets
to the Methodist Episcopal hospital
board.
Project Declared Certain.
This Is by far the most Important
item of the extensive building pro
gramme now In force. Several im
provements involving an expenditure
totaling 360,000 are now under way
and a number of churches within the
district have announced plans to build
new churches and additions. A $30,000
structure is planned at Lakeview and
a new hall to be built at Grants Pasa
will cost $10,000.
The hospital proposition is consid
ered certain of eventual development.
All of the necessary preliminaries
between the local churches have
been adjusted so that the only re
maining sanction to be gained lies
with the general hospital board and
the centenary board of the Metho
dist church. These boards will hold
their annual meetings in November
and it was said at the Methodist con
vention yesterday that approval Is
practically certain as Bishop Shepard
already has given his approval.
Debt to Be Cleared.
The mortgage Indebtedness of the
First church will be cleared away
during the Centenary period which
runs for the next three years. The
quarterly conference took action at
its last meeting to provide for pay
ment of the entire church debt of
360.000 during the period. j
Tne centenary Doara ana tne f irst
church each will pay half, and the
313,000 deficit of the church toward
the Centenary aportionment will also
be taken care of, toward which E. S.
Collins, a trustee of the Centenary
Wilbur Methodist church. Is said to
have promised a gift of 310,000.
Besides the gift of 310.000, Mr. Col
lins Is said to have promised 350.000
toward the hospital project, provided
First church pays up its indebtedness
and deeds the Third and Taylor cor
ner to the hospital board, as provided
In Bishop Shepard e plans.
. Bond Iae Planned.
Before the end ' of the Methodist
conference now in session a hospital
board probably will be appointed and
will be charged with the task of
working out the details of the hospi
tal campaign In co-operation with the
national hospital board. The cam
paign probably will set 3375,000 as
Its aim, and it Is understood that a
five-year bond issue may be floated
to carry the Initial cost.
This morning's conference was
given over mostly to the reports of
the district superintendents. S. A.
Dan ford spoke fur the Ashland dis
trict and E. E. G.lbert for the Salem
zone.
Improvements Are Skown.
A review of conditions in the Cen
tenary movement showed decided im
provements both in finances and
membership. Practically all churches
in the conference reported increased
membership, which was attributed to
revivals held during the year.

Seepage of OH at Anchorage Is
Announced With Heavy Gravel
Hiding Rock Ledges.
SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 6. (Special.)
Prospecting Is again the rage in
Alaska. Sourdoughs are afoot over
the rich mineral lands and the excite
ment of rich strikes Is In the air.
This is the word brought back by
Dr. Alfred H. Brooks, In charge of the
Alaska division, United States geolog
ical survey, about the Kantishna dis
trict
Rich lead and silver finds are re
ported and Dr. Brooks found more
than 60 prospectors combing the broad
stretches in search of deposits.
Dr. Brooks returned from Alaska
yesterday after an Inspection tour
which lasted several months.
Tiere is a seepage of oil at Anchor
age, according to Dr. Brooks. There
Is a heavy deposit of gravel, however,
which hides the rock ledges. Only
drilling will establish whether there is
oil in commercial quantities.
Miners are beginning to return to
Chicagof Island, with Its rich gold
quartz deposits. Fifty years ago they
were working on Chicagof island, but
discoveries at Juneau and In the Yu
kon drew them away.
While Alaska's mines are yielding
their riches, agriculture must not be
forgotten. Some of the wealthiest
residents of the Fairbanks region are
farmers.
Dr. Brooks met ovie farmer return
ing from California.
"I'm going back to my farm," he
said. "It's been keeping me for a
long time now. I thank my stars I
didn't sell it. I reckon I'll go back
and' make another stake."
In Fairbanks they are baking with
flour made from home-iraised wheat.
More than S00 acres of wheat were
harvested last season.

The accused dentist was dressed tile
same as the previous day, had just
been shaved and in every detail had
the well-groomed appearance that
marked him as a town fashion plate '
in the days before he was held In the
meshes of the law. He took his ac
customed chair in tho courtroom with,
his wife at his side. She continued to
turn to him frequently with a warm
smile of failh and confidence. Dr.
Brumfield, however, seemed slightly
cold toward her, for he failed to re
turn her affectionate glances in kind.
Once during the morning while
interest of the court was centered on
Clerk Riddle and the reading of tho
60 names on the venire list, the alleged.
slayer and his wife put their heads
close together and chatted and smiled
at each other as a husband and wit'
might before their own quiet fireside.
Tentative Jurors Accepted,
C. S. Hunt, Oakland farmer; J. f.
Roach, Tiller rancher, and Walter
Haines, Elkton farmer, were accepted
as tentative jurors today.
Mr. Hunt declared that he had no
fixed opinion about the case and that
he had never served as a Juror before.
He was challenged by the (defense for
actual bias, but was declared quali
fied as a Juror by Judgo Bingham and
passed by the prosecution.
During the questioning of Mr.
Hunt by Attorney Itice, objection was
made by Joseph S. Hammersly, special
deputy district attorney, to Mr. Rice's
use of terms. A friendly argument
ensued between the opposing attor
neys over tho form of questions put
by the defense In ascertaining from
a prospective juror whether or not
he understood the law, which states
that a defendant must be given the
"presumption of innocence until
proved guilty."
Prosecution's Olijertlon SuNtalned.
Judge Bingham sustained Mr. Ham
mersly's objection and suggested to
Mr. Rice in a kindly manner that
"you are asking some of these Jurors
questions that would be difficult for
even a lawyer to answer." The naive
replies of J. I. Roach, second accepted
tentative juror, were one of the
bright spots In tho routine of ex
aminations. Asked by Attorney Rice If his
newspaper reading and discussion of
the case had ltd him to form a
positive opinion about Dr. Brumfield,
Mr. Roach answered:
"It seems to me that possibly the
defendant was Implicated In tho
crime In some way."
Mr. Roach declared that he "didn't
read much about murders and those
kind of stories. My wife doesn't like
them." he said. "We don't read tbcm
to each other and don't discuss them
much."
Mr. Rice then asked Mr. Roacti
If he understood the law which pro
vides that a man is presumed inno
cent until proved guilty.
"The law seems to be muddled on
that point." answered the prospective
Juryman, "and I believe a man should
be proved inaocent before he is proved
guilty"
