APPROPRIATIONS MADE UPON OLD HOUR BASIS Labor Commissioner's Holding Would Mean Employment of Additional Help. Labor Commissioner Hoff having held that the eight-hour law applies to the state institutions, or to certain em ployes therein, Governor West this morning said he would ask the opinion of Attorney-General Crawford on the matter, and that if he held with the la bor commissioner, he would then take the matter up with the heads of the state institutions, as to the effect it -would have upon them, and that if he found from this that the law would cause a deficiency in any or all of them that he would consider calling a spe cial session of the legislature to take care of the matter. As the labor com missioner's ruling is remembered, he held the law applied to engineers, farm ere and all laborers employed at the state institutions, but did not apply to the officers, and certain other employes. The appropriations were made on the basis of the hours customary at the in stitutions before the eight-hour law went into effect, and it is thought that the shorter hours will compel the hir ing of additional help and that a de ficiency is certain to follow. The governor does not say that he will call a special session, but that souio circumstances may arise in connection therewith that will make the calling of anv extra session preferable to passing the matter up to the emergency board.

' The senator is a pleasant and force ful speaker, and is, beyond all ques tion, the best informed man in the United States on the subject of roads. He has devoted years to the study of the "Subject, and has evolved a scheme for building roads with the government furnishing the money. His idea is based on the fact that the government can borrow money more cheaply than the states, and that the difference in interest will eventually pay the cost of road construction.

SLEW MICHIGAN GIRLS Chicago Dope Fiend Believed to Have Ended Lives of Unknown Young ' Women at Paw Paw. (UNITIO PERM uasio wiu. Chicago, Oct. 9. The chief of police of Benton Harbor, Mich., - telegraphed today to Chief McWeeney here, telling him of the finding of two girls' bodies in Lake Michagan near Paw Paw last summer, and calling attention to the fact1 that they may have been victims of Henry Spencer, confessed murderer I of Mrs. Mildred Allison Bexroat, and 13 other women. Investigation convinced the Chicago police that the Benton Harbor official might be correct. Though believing Spencer did kill Mrs. Bexroat they in clined to regard the rest of his confes sion as romance, but they said today that it had certainly been partly cor roborated. . The two girls were never identified. Spencer, deprived of cocaine, raved in his cell today, and begged the police to hang him. DYNAMITERS BLOW UP ONITBD PBS8S LI1SID WIS!. Bedding, Cal., Oct. 9.

DEFINES DUTIES OF ALL Makes Some Assertions in Regard to Methods of Handling Which He Does Not Approve. Governor West today gave out the following statement in regard to the state land board and its duties: The recent failure of the state treas urer's office to give prompt attention to securing renewals of a lot of old loans which had passed the ten year limit as provided by law raises an in teresting question as to who is the proper custodian of the school fund securities. Section 5, Article IX of the constitU' tion, provides that: "The governor, secretary of state and state treasurer shall constitute Board of Commissions for the sale of school and university lands and for the investment of the funds arising therefrom, and their powers and duties shall be such as may be prescribed by law." Section 3S82 of Lord's Oregon Laws creates the State Land Board "for the sale of State Lands and for the invest ment of the funds arising therefrom. Section 3883 of Lord's Oregon Laws provides for a clerk of the board, among whoee duties are those of keep ing records, files and other papers per taining to his office, and a faithful record of all transactions; to receive and place on file all applications for the purchase of lands or loans of mon ey; to receive, receipt for, and make immediate payment to the state treas urer of all moneys received for the sale of lauds, and to perform such ot er duties as the Board may direct. Section 3915 of Lord's Oregon Laws provides that: ""The principal and interest of all loans shall be paid in gold coin of the United States or its equivalent; and such loans shall be-secured by note and mortgage to the state land board on real estate in this state of not less than thrice the value of the amount loaned exclusive of perishable im provements, of unexceptionable title, and free from all incumbrances, or by a deposit of United States bond or bonds or treasury warrants of this state of a face value of not less than twenty-five per cent in excess of such loans. All the loans herein provided for shall be made for the period of one year;1 provided, that in case the interest is promptly paid and the se curity remains unimpaired, the board may, in its discretion, permit the loan to stand for a period of not longer than ten years. Upon the payment of any loan, or of any bond, the prin cipal shall again be loaned or invest en in like manner as in this section provided. ' ' Section 5918 of Lord's Oregon Laws provides: "The state land board shall take all proper measures , for the prompt collection of the interest on all loans from any of the funds specified in this act as fast as the same becomes due, ami placo the same to the credit of the fund from which the loan was mado, to ba paid out as provided by law, the interest on the university fund to the support of the university of Oregon, and the interest on the col lect fund to the support of the agri cultural college, and to tie paid to the board of regents semiannually.'" Section 3919 of Lord's Oregon Laws provides for the purchases of school J district bonds by the State Land Board. section iv.i of bora's Oregon Laws provides that such bonds shall be de livered to the State Land Board. Section Article VI of the Constitution provides: "The powers and duties of the treas urer of the Btate shall be such as may be prescribed by law." (Continued on paxe 5.) Everybody jJuh - ; The warrior of thirteen seasons, the We've heard of a hundred reasons for giving the boot to him; They said he was old and weary, that palsy had got his wing, That his ancient eyes were bleary and he "didn't have the thing." They 've sighed that his pitching powers were showing a great reverse, They've ordered a bunch of flowers and chartered a handsome hearse; In language both chaste and natty, they've chanted his funeral strain; But he still is the same old Mattjr and he still has the same old brain. He 's there with the same old spinning that gave the sphere a curve; He fought for the whole ton innings with all of his old-time nerve; And after the rout and ruin, the lashing of Tuesday's fray, When Baker was up and doin' and pitchers were swept away; Yes, aftor the great disaster, the carnage and wreck were done, McGraw called the grand old master and, the grand old master won! Yes, sirl He shut the Mackmen out, and when it came his turn to clut, He hit the Bphore upon the snout. Three times the "Big Six'' came to bat and swung at. where the ball was at, ' And made two hits there's class to that! ' It's really pretty good, by Heck! for such a senile, ancient wreck! And Connie Mack's young pitcher, Plank well, now he ain't so very rank, Keeping the score, nine innings, blank. It's only thirteen years or so, since this young fellow learned to throw, In big league company, you know. And when this fact is understood, of course you'll see I thought you would The boy, with practice, may make good! That line of stuff is writ sarcastic I honor Plank as much as you In fact, I waxed enthusiastic in cheering him and Matty, too. I think them baseball's grand old men we may not see their like again. But granting to Matty his glory and fame and giving to Fletcher and Wiltse their due, ' (For Wiltse at first played a grand little game nd Fletcher was there with a wallop or two) 1 And slipping to Shafer, McLean and the rest whatever of credit you think they deserve; , Admitting the Giants were there with the zest and played with a Whole lot of vigor and nerve. . . ' ' ' " Yet still I maintain that the Mackmen will win, for Collins, Mclnnes and Baker are there, To land on the pill with the fury of sin, and drive it afar through tho palpitant air; Though Mathewson blanked 'em, it's well to recall that Matty can't pitch EVERY day. And them thore Athletics DO wallop that ball, and merrily waft It away; And Marquard and Tesreau and Crandall and sich, can't hold down those sluggers at all, when the pitch! I may be dead wrong, as I beg you to noto But the Quakers still look like the goods to this pote! ' ew York, October 9, 1913.

With a tele phone receiver strapped to his head, Jack McCoombs, the Athletio pitcher, hero of two world's series, lay in Philadelphia hospital yesterday getting the account of the game from Connie Mack's son, Earl. "Through tho entire game," Mc Coomi said today, "I lay with weights on my head and feet holding me im movable, with the receiver to my ear. That game took more out of me than if I had played myself. "I saw the crowd and Connie sitting on the bench. How 1 wished I was there. But I was holploss, and the strain was terrific. "When Earl said: 'There goes the game Matty has just singled to left, ' I don't know what I said. I tried to smile at my wife, who sat at my bed side, but I guess it wag a sickly smile." "Why did we loset Because Matty was steady as a clock. He pitched un beatable ball. "Eddie Plank was the Athletic star. We are all proud of him."

BY HAL SHERIDAN". unitid paisa uiaiD wraa. Polo Grounds, N. Y.,'Oct. O.yCbnnie Mack 's first kid pitcher made good to day. Bush, the Salt Lake City young ster, had the Giants at his mercy, and let tnent down with a scant pair of runs and five hits. Meanwhile the Athletics eot to Tes- reau and Crandall, the Giant slnbmen, for eight runs, the result of 12 safe stabs. The Athletics took the iumrj in the first and second innings, in each or which they bunched hits on Tesreau. Three hits in each inning netted them three runs in the first and a pair in the second. Again in the seventh thev ant to Tsrcau for a triple and two singles, which netted them another pair of runs and sont the Ozark Giant to the bench. Schang's Rome Bun. Crandall, who succeeded him, started off nicely, but Schang caught one squarely on the end of his bat, and warped it into the right field stands ft Baker-fashion for the second home run of the series. It was the Athloticp' game all the way. There was none of tho dash and briliancy of yesterday's contest, and the Giants seemed decided ly lacking in pep after their opponents had piled up their early load. With the game stowed away, the Athletics wont along under wraps, but there was never a moment when young Bush was in serious danger. The Giants' two runs wore negotiat ed in the fifth and seventh stanzas. The first one came when Murray drew a psss, stoio secona ana took third on Schang's bad throw to Collins. Red came home when McLean came through with a single. The threatened rally was nipped in tho bud, howevor, when Merkle Tes reau and Horzog were stowed away in order. 1 Looked Promising in Ninth. Shafer threatened to start something in the seventh when he opened the frame with a double, the Giants' sec ond extra base hit of the series. Mur ry singled and Tillr came home with the Giants ' second and last run. Schang, whose throwing to second base has been lamentably weak, caught Murray on an attempted steal, and Bush braced quickly. Of the pitchers so far trotted out bv Mack, Bush was easily the greatest puzzloor for the Giant stick-wlelders,' whoso efforts were lamentably feeble throughout the game. Not a single Giant was able to secure more than a lone hit. In contrast Collins fattened his batting average with two singles and a triple in threo timos up. Two Spectacular Plays. But two really spectacular plays marked the contest. One of these was a double play worked by Bush to Bnrry ot Mclnnes on Burns and Fletcher in tho sixth, and the other was a dashing double put out contributed by Doyle in tho seventh, when he pulled down a siz zling line smash from Mclnnes' bat And doubled up on Baker at second. Unofficial estimates fixed tho crowd at about 36,000. The play by iuningii: Tint Inning. Philadelphia Murphy out, Fletcher lo Merkle. It was an easy roller to short. Oblring singled to center a sharp rap, which Shafer ran In to field. Collins singled over center, sending Oldrlng to third: his hit was a vicious bounder which Doyle couldn't reach. Baker singled through short, scornlp Oldrlng, Collins taking second. McLean went to the pitcher's box for a consul tatinn with Tesreau. Collins and Baker worked the double steal. They had such s long lead because of the wind up McLean didn't have time to throw. Mclnnes fanned, but McLean dropped the last strike, but Mclnnie was tossed out to Merkle. Strunk got three hJ!. and then fouled off one. Strunk tap ped one to Fletcher, who threw wildly over Merkle 's toad. Collins and Baker scored and Strunk reached second. Bar- -ry popped to Fletcher. Three runs. New York Bush appeared oerfectlr cool. Herzog out, Barry to Mclnnes He waited for three and two befor swinging on one of the Athletic young, stor's offerings.
