Too Wild to Halt On

POLO GROUNDS, New York, Oct. 8
(AP) Before the crumbling de
fenses of their rivals, the Ysnkees
pounded out their third straight vic
tory In the world series today, defeat
ing the Giants 6 to 1 as tho National
leaguers committed four errors and
their ace right-hander, Hal Schu
macher, proved too wild to stop the
enemy sluggers.
In their own behalf, the American
lenguc's clouting champions were
backed up by a fine pitching effort
from Monte Pearson, curve ball right
hander, who thus followed Lefty Oo
mez and Red Ruffing Into the victory
column for tha Yankees.
Pearson gave up only five hits
after pitching to Just 13 men In the
first tour Innings. He suddenly lost
his control In the ninth, and was
taken out after loading the bases
on two walks and a single, but
Johnny Murphy, the league's best re
Uef fllnger, was called In and ended
tho game by forcing Harry Dunning
to fly out.

Proclamation Issued After
Heavy Night Engagement
Roosevelt Summons
Cabinet to Talk Peace
By the Associated Press
An official Japanese announcement
of policy In the Slno-Japanese con
flict was interpreted by the Chinese
today as equivalent to a declaration
of war, If not a formal declaration.
The announcement, the first of
Japanese origin to"be so regarded
since the outbreak of the three-
month old undeclared war, came
from General Twane Matsul who, In
the name of the emperor, declared
the army he commands on the
Shanghai front "Is now prepared to
use every means to subdue its oppo
nents."
Heavy Engagement
The proclamation, Issued after tho
most severe night engagement be
tween Chinese land batteries and
Japanese warships, was considered by
observers as a forerunner of Japan's
threatened major drive to smash Chi
nese defenses northwest of Shanghai
While the hostilities continued un
abated. President Roosevelt returned
to Washington after a ' three-weeks
absence to discuss with his advisors
the United States' newly defined po
sition as a force for International
peace.
With the American government al
ready committed to participation in
proposed nine power conference,
Mr, Roosevelt summoned his cabinet
and his chief diplomatic advisers to
discuss the extent to which the Unit
ed States will cooperate in peace
moves In the Orient.
Speculation In some Washington
quarters that the projected nine
power conference might be asked to
declare an economlo boycott against
Japan brought no official comment.
There was no Indication the United
States would consent to this action.
May Urge Law Itevlsal
Close on the heels of the United
States' designation of Japan as a
treaty violator for Invading China,
the possibility arose that the admin
Intra t ton would father a proposal to
revise this country's neutrality law.
Some quarters suggested this might
be a factor In President Roosevelt's
consideration of a special session of
congress.
The Japanese foreign office In
Tokyo announced a formal statement
waa being drafted airing Japan's at
titude on her condemnation by the
United States and the League of Na
tions. At a session of United States dis
trict court last night, Judge James
Alger Pee directed that a habeas
corpus writ be Issued for Kllda
Chlloquln, Klamath reservation In
dian whom the government holds to
bo Insane and seeks to remove to
St. Bllzsbeth's hospital In Washing
ton, D. O,
The writ was made returnable In
court hers at 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning when a hearing will be held
to determine whether Chlloquln Is
being unlawfully restrained of his
liberty. It is anticipated that the
question of his sanity will be in
cluded In the hearing.
Chlloquln was represented by At
torney Walter C. Van Emon of Kfam
ath Palla. Manley B. Strayer, assis
tant United States attorney repre
sented the government.

BIS ELECTED
AS PRESIDENT OF
i ' By Mauds E, pool
Sitting by a huge fh-e place,
whnro' firelight shown upon log
walls, 140 descendants of pioneers
assembled at Ashland yesterdny for
tho lllst rtnnunl reunion or tne so
ciety of I'loneers of Southorn Ore
gon. Attorney A. E. Itontnss of Mod
ford, was elected president to suc
ceed Prof. Irving Vlnlng, of Ash
lund. Miss Alice llnnloy, of Jack
sonville, was elected vice president,
with Miss Clnire llanley being re
elected as secretary. Miss Mnllle
Drltt of Jacksonville, and Mrs. Ella
Garrett, of Ashland, retained their
office ns treasurers.
"Reniemhor who you are, and be
as your pioneer ancestors," was the
sincere urge of Morey Applegale
of Ashland In IiIh foretnnn address
to tho assembly. Mr. Applognto Is
a grandson of l.lnusny Applegule
anil a veteran of the Spanish Ame
rican war. Hpeaking of the first
pioneers, and Including In this
transitory picture the ancestors
from Kuropo sottllng In America,
the speaker said thnt more Impor
tant than expressions of emollon
and prldo today to perpetuate tholr
memories Is a correct and tangible
appraisal of the Important things
they did n laying the foundation
for present living.
"Tho popular conception of the
pioneer consists of covered wagons,
painted Indians, buffalo, but thnt
Is only setting of Ihe stage on
which the real druma was enncted,"
Mr. Applcgate declared. "We must
go deeper to know what manner of
men were these, and their purpose.
There Is no conventional picture of
the plnneer; they were not all
alike. Home were tall, aome wore
short; Some had long beards, others
had none. Rome rugged Individual
ists! They stood on their own feet.
They knew no peers, and served
no mnsler. This wob their charac
ter, if you must conventionalize
tho pioneer!"
The speaker commented further
that "these people had no blue
prints mado In Washington, but
supplied their own brains, and fi
nanced themselves by the sweat of
their brow.
Tho meeting was held In Pioneer
hall, dedicated to tho society a few
years ago by Owln Hutler of Ash-
Innd. Invocation was given by Hoy.
James H. Kdgar of tho Presbyter
Ian church at Ashland, nnd was fol
lowed hy the opening address by
Prof. Irving Vlnlng, who presided
throughout tho day. Mr. Vlnlng re-
vlnwed briefly tho first pioneer
meeting In 1877 at Ashland when
J. n. Duncan was president of tho
society. "We are hero to pny horn
sge to Ihoso emplro builders," he
said. "We are setting here, aa If In
a shrine, where fond pictures and
herorlc figures step out of the
past."
An Interesting event of tho af

City school budget for the fiscal
year beginning next June 30 esti
mates total expenses at $207,313.
Total receipts, exclusive of taxes,
are estimated at 139.6S9.9S, leavlna

The budget, as made publlo today,
la subject to final approval following

E. R, Hedrlck In city hall.
Although the budget tor the next
flscsl year la somewhat higher than
that of the current period, the ta
rate will be about two mills less, it
wsa estimated. -The lowsr tax rat
reflects accumulation of about
$99,000 aa savings under stringent
economy measures during the de
pression years, Mr. Hedrlck pointed
out.
During tha depression years not
only were teacher salaries slashed
but new construction and repair and
maintenance of buildings were
verely curtailed, the superintendent
said. The budget committee deemed
It a policy of wisdom to provide for
soma construction and repair and
maintenance in the next fiscal year,
he added.
A large Item In the new budget M
$19,000 for the construction of
combined clasa room, auditorium and
gymnasium at tha Jackson school.
This Improvement waa requested la
a petition soma time ago. It will
make the Jackson school Identical
with the Roosevolt school, the asm
plana having been used for both
buildings. The Improvement wtll M
started soma tlma during the winter
and will be completed for use next
fall, Mr. Hedrlck said.
The new Budget also contemplate
restoration of teacher salaries which
were reduced during the depression.
