Radio Carries Story of Game To 3,000,000! CraBtland Rice Describes Second Battle to Vast) Audience of Baseball and Wireless Devotees project Marks an Epoch fe Result of Years' Ef fort, Says Official of the Westinghouse Company p-obttMy 3.000,000 persons heard the _oiee of the Tribune's sports expert, Grantland Rice, describe in detail the leeond world's series came between the ra~_ees and tne Giants direct from &t Polo Grounds yesterday. This was learned after n careful 5_rv?y *? officials of the Westinghouse Electrk and Manufacturing Company, throvfh whose station, WJZ, at New? ark the games are being broadcast in eonjttiicton with The Tribune. By a fitting coincidence, the second .ay of the world's series broadcasting oec-ired on the first anniversary of WJZ, and it proved to be even more ; soccessf-l than the first day's broad? casting. Many of.the, minor defects experienced in Wednesday's broadcast in. were overcome, and the story ran steadily through the cheering of the crowds. The tw0 wircs between the Tolo Grounds and Newark which were tat aside by the Western Union Tc!e mph Company were in perfect con? dition for voice transmission. The survey conducted by the West? inghouse officials showed that thera was scarcely a block in New York City without a loud speaker in operation. In many parts of the residential sec? tions of the city two cr three loud jpeakers were in operation, each with its own small crowd of listeners. This was equally true of virtually every other city withjn a radius of fifty miles, and beyond that range hundreds of thousands of headsets were in use. So successful has been the under? taking that William H. Easton, of the Westinghouse Company, issued the fol? lowing statement yesterday: "In its endeavor to develop the art of radio broadcasting and make it a public service of the highest order the Westinghouse Electric and Manufac? turing Company has always regarded the broadcasting of world's series (fames direct from the field as one of the most important things it could do. "After several years of effort to ac? complish this, the project has at last been successful. Th? whole-hearted co-operation of the Western Union telegraph Company and the National and American leagues made this event physically possible, and the asistance of The Tribune and Grantland Rice has given the public an unparalleled Opportunity to follow the gasnes through an expert's eyes. "The deafening roars of the Polo Grounds crowd, flung hundreds of Silfs through space, mark an epoch the history of engineering science, radio telephony, journalism and America's national game." Each day of the great undertaking has brought forth some new and in? teresting phase on the receiving eiid. Yesterday, foj instance, a radio fats ?tablished himself on the roof of a Wilding in Chambers Street, next to th? Hall of Records. He had a set ?ah a pair of head phones. As each play came in he shouted it ?rough an improvised paper mega pone to the persons hanging out of ?wry available window in the Hall of Records. When the noise of traffic prevented them from hearing, they sig? nified the fact by gestures, and the fan would chalk up the play on a big water tank alongside him. Not only in this city, but in every city throughout the range of WJZ, the. greatest enthusiasm prevails over the enterprise. From Bridgeport, Conn., ihe following report: "Thousands of fans heard Grantland Rice's story of the game to-day, as ?hey did yesterday. The biggest crowd in town gathered at the American Hardware Company's store, where a radio receiver was equipped with a loud speaker. "At Danbury fair thousands more heard the broadcast bv means of a loud speaker. The Stratford motion picture house 'tapped in' on the story for the benefit of its afternoon patrons. Hundreds of amateur radio fans also '"'atened in' in their homes." The stunt will be repeated to-day.

Pershing, W. Cameron Forbe?, former Governor General of the Philippines, and other army officers are not liable to prosecution because of their having shot deer out of season on Naushon Island. Buzzards Bay, on the private grounds of Mr. Forbes. This is, the opinion of the state ?jame wardens, who hold that the Island is a private ?preserve and not within the jurisdiction of the state game laws. At the office of the State De? partment of Conservation it was learned to-day that no formal com? plaint had been filed against the hunt? ing party on Naushon Island. LENOX, Mass., Oct. 5?-General Pcrshing arrived to-night at Elm Court, the homo of Henry White, for? mer Ambassador to England, for the week end. The party included Charles Hayden, Mr. and Mrs. Goodhue Liv? ingston and J. J. Rogers. . m 2 Love Letters From Rector to Singer Revealed (Contlnuod tr?m pa?* ?nsi presents of wearing apparel she had received from the minister. This information was given by a ' person who was in Mrs. Mills's confi? dence. From this same sourco it was learned that Dr. Hall first confessed his love to the wife of the sexton of his church three years ago. On that occasion Mrs. Mills had been quarrel? ing with her snother in-law and the clergyman was asked to act as peace? maker. Went on Knees to Woman In a burst of confidence ono time Mrs. Mills said that Dr. Hall had chicled her for her attitude toward the mother of her husband, and that when she grew indignant because of his in? terference in a family affair he threw himself on his knees and pleaded with her not to turn against him. The autopsy on the body of Dr. Hall, performed yesterday in Kings County Morgue, Brooklyn, left no doubt that the abrasions on the knuckles and ?rin of the murdered clergyman were snade before death. The physicians who participated in the examination were agreed in this. There was a great gathering of medi? cal men and officials at the morgue, where the body was? taken early yester? day morning after it had been removed from the vault in Greenwood Cemetery owned by the Stevens family, to which it was taken after the funeral. When the body reached the morgue Dr. Truest M. Vaughan, medical assistant in the King's County District At? torney's office, and Dr. Mortimer D. Jones, superintendent of King's County Hospital, received it. With tnt<m were Detective Ferguson and a patrolman from the Flatbush police station. Jersey Authorities in Charge Dr. Vaughan 6aid that Dr. Otto A. Schultze, of District Attorney Ban ton's office, would perform the autopsy. The writ for exhumation was issued from Mr. Banton's office. When tho j New Brunswick officials arrived, how? ever, it was said that Dr. Schultze was out of town, and that Dr. Kunkle Hege rnan, of New Brunswick, and Dr. Lahey, of Bound Brook, would take charge of the proceedings. With these physi? cians were Dr.. William E. Long, county physician of Somerset; Dr. E. J. Cronk, health officer of Now Bruns? wick; Dr. A. L. Smith, representing Prosecutor Beekman of Somerset; John V. Hubbard, the Middlesex coroner; Prosecutor Beekman, County Detective George Totten, of Somerset, and- Ser? geant Lamb and Corporal Dickman, of the New Jersey state police.

The Transit Commission issued a supplementary order yesterday provid? ing for further increase of service on the Brighton and CanarRie lines. The Manhattan Bridge trains, Manhattan oound in the morning rush hours, on the Brighton line are to bo increased from six to seven cars. On tho Broad r?L c.!evated ??"?-? the trains from ! Canarsie to Chambers Street are to be increased from three to four cars. Tho order is effective at once. the autopsy came from Dr. Hegenan. He said that the dead clergyman ha?, been killed by a bullet which entered the right temple and came out at the back of the neck on the left side, be? hind the ear. The course of the bullet was downward and tho point of exit, was three and a half inches below the point of entrance. No powder stains were found, indicating that the revolver was not pointed close to the dead man's forehead. Dr. Hegeman said that the abrasions on the back of the right hand and or. the left wrist might have been caused by Dr. Hall striking at his assailant or they might have been caused by hi.? fall into the bushes which surrounded tho place where the bodies were found. Abrasion on Right Leg There also was a slight superficial abrasion on the right leg whicli might have been caused by the fall. Some of the observing physicians expressed the opinion that the scars on the right hand were plainly caused by Dr. Hall striking some hard object with his closed fist. The bullet wound did not necessarily indicate that tho minister was in a recumbent or sitting position when the shot was fired, they said. Dr. Hall was about five feet six inches tall and if he, confronted by his slayer, had lunged forward to strike a blow a taller person with a weapon held high could easily have inflicted just such a wound as the autopsy disclosed. There was no mutilation of the body and no evidences of the fury of the murderer after death such as Mrs. Mills's body showed. After the autopsy the body was taken back to GVeenwood Cemetery where it was replaced4in the Steven's vault. U. S. Jury Indicts E. Y. Clarke ATLANTA, Oct. 5.?E. Y.

Army Ordnance Association Will Witness Firing of j New Great Shells and I Exhibition of Machines - WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 (By The As I Bociated Press).?Post-war ordnance developments are to be demonstrated to-morrow at the Aberdeen, Md., prov ! ing grounds before- members o? the Army Ordnance Association and Affili? ated Engineering Societies, and will include fuses, guns, great and small; bombs, tanks and munition carts foi use in rough country. The demonstra? tion will be held in connection with the annual meeting of the ordnance association, comprised of reserve o.fi cors and manufacturers who propose to convert their plants immediately ir the event of war. A feature of the exhibition will b< the firing of shells equipped witl super-sensitive fuses, so dehcate as t? detonate tho charge on passing throus;! the cloth of an airplane wing. Tn? fuses were developed for anti-aircraf gunfire and so devised as to withatan? the shock of firing, yet cxplodo on thi lightest touch after leaving the gun. In contrast, there will be shown i 2,000-pound projectile equipped with fuse so slow in action that the missil will penetrate sixteen inches of armo steel before the charge explodes. Thi projectile is for use by great gun against battleships or fortifications. A unique feature of the demon?tr? tion will be. the use cf the amphibiou reconnaissance tractor, built to mair tain a speed of twelve miles an hou across rough Country and to pass an stream. The machine carries two off cers as its crew, rfding in a boat-shape body, and on coming to a waterway tc I deep to be forded goes afloat and I propelled to tho other side by a sere propeller.

Fingerprinted State Body Adopts Report Seeking File of Every Cit? izen's and Alien's Mark; | Seen as Check to Crime Costly, Says Opposition Bureau for City to Check Efficiency of Police Is Urged, After Argument The suggestion that every person in the United States be finger printed as a means to prevent cr.mc aroused a spirited discussion yesterday at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of tho State of Now York. The plan was strongly recommended by Freder? ick H. Ecker, chairman of the execu? tive committee. Mr. Ecker's report, which had been framed by a special committee investi? gating the crime situation in New York, was adopted and the chamber went on record to "endorse and assist, 60 far as may bo practical, any move? ment of the Federal or other author? ities having as its object the promo? tion of n plan for general registration end finger printing of all citizens and aliens.'' ? It was suggested that if such a plan be put in operation every per? son in the country would be required to carry a card of identification, in-' eluding a photographic reproduction of finger prints. "Such a measure," Mr. Ecker said, 'would solve many of the social prob- ! lema of the city, state and nation. It ! would tend to prevent crime in general j and stop fraudulent voting in elections, forging of checks and the carrying ofj concealed weapons, in particular. The i benefits of a registration of this kind ; would be national in 3cope. It would be of advantage to the law-abiding citi- , Sons and a further check upon tho criminal or dangerous aliens sent here j for the purpose of spreading discontent j asnong the unassimilatcd elements of the population." Louis F. Dodd, former Mayor of | Montclair, N. J., opposed tho action on this report, saying that it should be j given further consideration and that it involved a vast expenditure of money when economy was the slogan. This opinion he shared with others at the meeting. William McCarrell, in reply, said that the sources which have been | spreading discontent througliout the j couriti'y "must be found, and there is i no quicker, safer and moro economic way to do so than by national regis? tration of finger prints. The American attitude is to procrastinate and con- i stantly put off such protective meas? ures until a great emergency exists." The chamber discussed at length the report of a special committee which investigated the Chicago and Cleve? land crime commission bureaus, with a view toward establishing a similar organization in New York. The crime bureaus in Chicago and Cleveland are maintained by public subscription and supervise the work of the police> in the detection and prosecution of crimi- | nais. Darwin P. Kingsley, chairman of i The committee, found that there was! no emergency existing in New York which the police and prosecuting au? thorities were unable to handle. The chamber nevertheless adopted the report calling for the establish? ment of a crisne commission bureau here. Joseph M. Price said he re? gretted that the committee had not in? vestigated the Police Department, which, he said, "has always been the football of politics." "An administration is usually made or broken by the efficiency of the po? lice," continued Mr. Price. "It is time that the Police Department ehould be taken out of politics, just aa the Board *bf Education was taken out of politics some years ago." Mr. Kingsley said that the cost of establishing a bureau such as exists in Cleveland and Chicago would bo pro? hibitive in a city like New York, and added that the Chamber of Commerce never intended to investigate the Po lico Department. "Our purpose, "Mr. Kingsley said, "?3 tu help the police, not to damn tnein. The police force is not broken dewn and there Is no likeli? hood, in my opinion, that it will break down." . .i .? .. i Harding Ready to Name Fact-Finding Coal Commission Plans to Announce Board To-day and Order Inquiry lo Start at Once; New Yorkers in List,Considered WASHINGTON, Oct. ? (Ay Tho As? sociated Press).?President Harding has practically completed the selection j of the seven members of the fact finding commission created by Con-1 press to investigate the national coal industry, with a view to suggesting means for tho betterment of mining operations and the elimination of strikes. The President has planned to make public the names of tho new commis? sion to-morrow and to direct that it proceed as rapidly as possible to a thorough study of both the anthracite and bituminous coal industries and their problems of production, distribu? tion and employment. President Harding let it be known that because of a disinclination on the part of the miners and operators to submit panels of desirable commission? ers for his consideration, he would make his selections outside the compo? nent parts of tho coal industry. But it is understood that both John L. Lewis,! president of the United Mine Work? ers, and A. M. Ogle, president of the j National Coal Association, later sub- j mitted a list of names. Numerous recommendations are un? derstood to have been made to the President by members of Congress, the ? Cabinet and by individuals and organ- ! izations in various parts of tho country I as to the personnel of the commission. ' As a result, serious consideration is I said to have been given in the select- i ing process to Oscar Straus, New York. former Secretary of Commerce and ! Labor and diplomat; John Hays Ham- j mond?
