UNITED PKESS LEASED WIRE. Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. 17. Frank Baker's warclub did it again today. ine world s chamnion Ath letics defeated the Giants 3 to 2 in the third game of the world's series, The turn in the tide came in the mntn. Always invincible, Mathew son had blanked the Athletics through eight desperate innings. One run by the Giants in the third made It look like a sure thing. Hope was almost gone when Baker came up in the ninth. One husky swat drove the leather Into the right field seats for a home run and the battle was on In the tenth inning both Matty and "Iron" Coombs pitched masterly ball. Both teams were on edge and neither coul dscore. In the eleventh Eddie Collins poked out a single to center; Baker was there again with another and before the score board marks went up, both had crossed the pan. As a last rally Herzog doubled for the Giants in the eleventh. Then Becker the former Boston home run hitter, went into bat for Matty. He delivered, and partly by a fumble by Collins, Herzog crossed the plate but Becker was too ambitious and was out stealing, and the game was done. Played in a drizzling rain with the ball slippery and hard to handle, the two teams gave an exhibition which probably never was surpassed in a world's series. All the time both Mathewson and Coombs were up on LOADING THE WIRES WITH UTTER TRASH The telegraph wires were bur dened today with the questions and answers in the examination of jur ors in the McNamara trial at Los Angeles. They are absolutely with out interest any more than the ex amination of a juror in a hog steal ing case, as they have only to do with the state of mind of the Juror under examination and nothing what ever to do with the case. It is an insult to respectable telegraph wires to load them down with such mayon aise, but It is done. The Journal will dish up the McNamara trial in palatable shape so soon as it really begins, but the detail about why Josh Smith would or would not be a com petent Juror, goes in the waste bas ket. FORGERS MAKE FINE CLEAN-UP UNITED F1ESS LEASED WIDE. J Portland, Ore., Oct. 17. Apparent ly thousands of dollars have been cleaned up by a gang of forgers wlth I" the last 24 hours by cashing ficti tious pay checks of the Oregon Wash ington Railroad & Navigation com pany. The headquarters of the gang presumably is Seattle as a number of checks arrived in Portland from Seat tle today, and more are being re ceived this afternoon. It is believed that Spokane has been worked and it will not be possi ble to ascertain the extent of the gang's operations for a day or so. The first of the forgeries was dis covered by a clerk In the United States Bank here. The forgers printed their checks from a plate and filled out the num bers of the pay checks in regular manner. The worthless checks re ceived thus far have been made out either to John Connors or Win. Stev ens. The consolidated school depends for Its success upon good teachers and the consolidated support of the community. their toes. Both pitched a corking game but the hard hitters among the Mac men were too much for even the peerless Matty. The only regretable feature of the game was when Baker, whose bat has won two games of the series, was spiked by Snodgrass. Even the New York crowd, rabid par tisans as they are, hissed the splker and cheered lustily for Baker as he trotted back to third. New York Oct. 17 The Giant fans were bearish before the opening of the struggle. Many seats were va cant when the Giants trotted out on the field and McGraw's men got only mild applause. It was figured that the cloudy day would greatly aid Coombs. In center field before the game be gan was the automobile awarded to Ty Cobb for doing the best work for his team of any man in either league. It was presented without ceremony. Frank Schult, winner of the trophy National League, received his car in Chicago yesterday. There were few vacant seats in the bleachers at 1:30. At 1:55 a drizzle started. It amounted to lit tle more than a mist, but made the ball slippery and hard to handle. The Game by Innings. New York, Oct. 17. Batteries Philadelphia, Coombs and Lapp; New Yom: Mathewson and Meyers.

MUSTSTATE THE NATURE OF THE WORK CNITED PIESS LEASED WIIIB.1 San Francisco, Oct. 17 State La bor Commissioner McLaughlin said today that he would immediately ' warn a number of employment agen I cies here that they must cease to ad vertise for shopmen for the South ern Pacific railroad unless they state in their printed advertisements that the men are wanted to take the place of the strikers.

OKITID PIES LEASED W1R1.1 Cleveland, O., Oct. 17- Holding a crowd of more thna 100 at bay today after having fatally shot his wife, George Hermle, aged 45, a wealthy real estate dealer of Euclid su burb, calmly removed his shoes, turned his weapon on himself, and, pulling the trigger with his toe, in stantly killed himself. No motive was given for the double tragedy. Now a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together! and down the tariff wall will come, to the destruc tion of monopoly. First Woman to Register. 17. cash. San Francisco, Oct. Mrs. Emma Harrington ier in the justice courts, and j wife of Registrar H. C. Harring- i ton, was the first woman to reg- lster as a voter in San Francis co. She claimed affiliation with the Union Labor party, when she signed the registration affi davit today, five minutes after the eUction committee, on spe- clal call, rescinded Its action of yesterday, and adopted a reso- lutlon for the acknowledging the right of women to enroll their names as voters. The women cannot yet have their names placed on the pre- cmt registers, as the law pro- vides that all applicants shall be seggregated and kept apart from the regular registration and not entered until the offi- cial statement of the adoption of the suffrage amendment has been filed. SENTIMENT IN FAVOR OF THE CHARTER MEN'S 'CLUB OF THE, METHODIST CHURCH DISCUSS CHARTER AM) EX.JIAVOR HODGERS EX PLAINS ITS PROVISION'S. The men's club of the First Meth odist church held a meeting last night to discuss the proposed com mission charter. They served a din ner and usually are in session from 6:00 to 8:00, but last night sat until 10:00 p. m. Following prominent citizens were on the platform and participated in the discussion: Max Buren, Gideon Stolz, A. F. Hofer, Assistant Attorney-General I. H. Van Winkle, Theo dore Roth Geo. F. Rodgers, Dr. B. L. Steeves, Dr E. H. Todd and Dr. Da vis Errett. Rodgers Lends. . After the dinner ex-Mayor George F. Rodgers spoke in favor of the proposed new charter. His explana tions were very clear. He undoubt edly did much to increase interest and friendship for a commission form of government, and said in part: "The American system of govern ment is not a success. We have been compelled to wash our linen before the world and to expose all of the rottenness, graft and corruption we can conceive of." He told of the accidental organiza tion of the commission form at Gal veston, following the destruction of that city, when the old council proved entirely inadequate to handle the sit uation, and the people asked and re ceived permission to conduct the of fices of the city through a commis sion of five men. It was so remark ably successful that other cities rap idly followed Its lead. Des Moines was the most signally successful, raising the credit of the city from 60 cents to $1-00, cleaned up the city, closed every saloon, paved 70 miles from current revenues, built parks and retired $400,000 of public bonds, all the first year, at the same time reducing taxation. Was a Hot Time. Justice Burnett of the supreme court, first attacked the Direct Pri mary law and then attacked the charter for not having the provisions of the Direct Primary. He also at tacked the recall of Judges and said if three gentlemen on the platform could be secured for commissioners, Messrs. Stolz Rodgers and Buren, he would favor the adoption of this charter. In spirited replies, Messrs. Rod gers and I Ionian showed the Incon sistency of his position opposing the Direct Primary law and also oppos ing the charter because it did not comply with the Direct Primary law. 1 1 oiii an lakes a llmiil. . President Unman of Willamette University made a good argument for the commission- form of government. He ridiculed Justice Burnett for say ing that under this commission char ter the rabble and the roughnecks and. the tough element would be in control of the city. President Homan Intimated that those elements were always In evidence In city politics and would be no more so under a commission form of government than anywhere. He was strongly in favor of the proposed change to a commis sion form of city administration. Dr. Patterson of Willamette Uni versity, made a clear statement of an ideal city government with a mayor and cabinet form of adminis tration. He proposed a one man government instead of three-men government as proposed in this char ter. John H. Albert said the issue at (Continued on Page 2.) ; it One Lorimer Vote, . Chicago, Oct. 17. The dying 1 requestor Sheriff Thomas Bar- , rett, of Crook county, Illinois, j was the reason for the support ' c tended William Lorimer, the Chicago boss, by Representative Wilson, of the Illinois legisla- ture. So Wilson testified today before the senatorial committee which is investigating tlfe T charges that Lorlniers election to the United States senate was illegal. Wilson said he-voted for Lor- Imer because Sheriff Barrett, on his death bed, asked him to favor the "blonde boss" when voting. "Lorimer is a good man and fiad a fine family. He stood well with the Irish." said Bar- rett on his death bed, accord- ing to the witness. Wilson denied having asked any other member of the legls- lature to vote for Lorimer.

M. Williams, chairman of a committee appointed by the Presby tery Synod a year ago,, to Investigate moral conditions In the schools of the state, has written State Superinten dent of Public Instruction Alderman that he desires to confer with him on October 20. The committee appointed consists of three members and it held its first meeting several days ago In Port land. It was decided then to have one of the members get the views of the National Educational Association on the subject; to have another ob tain the views of the Religious Edu cational Association, and have Rev. Williams confer with the state super intendent of public Instruction, and Investigate the schools of the state, and obtain from them all possible data relative to the present moral conditions. The writer says that the Presby tery Is opposed to church and schools being united, but that It does contend that some course bearing on moral ity should be taught in the schools. 0 .
