With the National League
championship at stake, the New
York Giants took the field this
afternoon for the last time this
season. Their opponents are the
Chicago Cubs, who arrived in
New York this morning fresh
from the wilds of the Windy city.
Although the regular league sea
son closed yesterday, the board of
directors' ruling that the game of
September J23 between the New
York and Chicago clubs was a
tie, and setting today as the date
for the replaying of the game,
brings about a post-season contest
that carries pennant, title and
championship honors with it.
NEW YORK, October 8.?Five thousand
persons were waiting: for admission when
the gates of the Polo Grounds were
opened at 11 o'clock this morning, although
the game between the Giants and
the Cubs was not to begin until 3 o'clock.
Nearly every one had some kind of
nolsemaking instrument, either a horn,
megaphone or rattle. The entranceway
leading from the elevated railroad station
was thronged, and there was a mad
rush for the gate when the doors were
opened. The viaduct overlooking the Polo
Grounds was crowded with spectators,
but It was stated that they would be
driven off before the game began.
The gates were opened unusually early
today, that so far as possible the inevitable
congestion in the last half hour be*
fore the time set for calling play might t>e
relieved. Lines began to form shortly
after daybreak, and when the gates
swung open there was a large crowd.
From ihen on in ever-increasing hundreds
men, women and boys fairly hurled
themselves Inside the Inclosure, and then,
at top notch speed, sprinted to the bleachers
and unreserved sections.
Fighting' for Seats.
Scrimmages over positions were frequent.
Special police provisions had
been made, but there were times when
they were powerless to stop the almost
dangerous crowding around the entrances.
There was something fascinating in
watching the filling in of the picture by
the constantly growing inpour of people.
Before the gates were thrown wide open
there were but the bare outlines formed
by grandstands, bleachers, clubhouse,
-I," structure, viaduct, speedway, roofs,
trees and overhanging cliffs westward.
Then, suddenly, here, there, everywhere?
men, women?and more, and more. Everv.
possible vantage point, however precarious,
soon came to have its human cluster.
The unusual number of women gave relieving
touches of color here and there.
In the grandstand were numerous notables
and "fans," many of whom had
traveled hundreds of miles for the event
Arrival of Cubs in New York.
The Chicago National League base
ball team reached the Grand Central
station at 9:115 a.m. today, five minutes
ahead of time, on the Twentieth Ceatury
Limited express over the New
York Central. Their trip from Chicago
was uneventful and the players, whc
had left their berths half an hour before
the arrival of the train, were in
fine condition and cheerful spirits, looking
forward eagerly to the supreme
battle of this afternoon. They went at
once to the Hotel-Somerset, where they
will make headquarters during their
stay in this city.
They were welcomed at the station
by a large crowd of base ball enthu<
siasts, newspaper men, photographer!
and waiting passengers, and received a
onrrlifll rh<?pp
Great Throng, Great Occasion.
Whatever the merits of the directors
decision which compelled the playing of
today the tie of September 23, even th<
most bitter enthusiast must concede tha
the decree has given opportunity for see
ing such a marvelous throng and sucl
rare pport as would not otherwise havi
been possible. The circumstances whlcl
have led up to today's contest are unique
. ar.d this tinal game between Chicago am
New York is sure to stand, spectacularly
and otherwise, as one of the greates
in all base ball history. Whoever wim
to have been affectionately known to fol
lowers as a "Giant" or a "Cub" in 1SJUI
will be sufficient glory. But the tempe
of the players today, judging from wha
was heard at the quarters before the
squads came on the field, was not fo

Conference on Hatters Before the
Supreme Court?Maj. Barber
Tells of Affairs in Cuba.
It waa a political off day at the White
House. Although there were some political
callers and the President discussed
the outlook with them, the day was not
so important from a political point of
view, as many others in the last two
weeks.
W. R. Willcox. who resigned his position
as postmaster of New York a year and a
half ago to become head of the public
utilities commission appointed by Gov.
Hughes, spent some time today telling
President Roosevelt about political conditions
in the Empire state. Mr. Willcox
predicted a substantial victory for the republicans.
"Taft and Hughes will both carry New
York by about the same majorities,'* declared
Mr. Willcox. "Hughes is gaining
ground every day. His fine work on the
stump has increased the regard for him
among the people of the state, and I am
sure he will get many votes from democrats.
I do not consider his defeat as
even remotely possible. He evidently feels
the same way, as he has been giving little
attention to his own race, doing all he can
fnr tbo n u t I An q 1 finlrot "
"Bat" Masterson, now of New York, but
formerly a prominent figure in the west,
also called on the President, predicting a
Taft victory. As to Hughes Mr. Masterson
remarked: "He is not popular with
republicans in the state. Taft may be
able to pull Hughes through, but it will
be a tight squeeze."
Three Important Bailway Cases.
E. W. Sims, United States attorney at
Chicago, and J. H. Wilkinson, expert in !
trust and rebate cases for the Department
of Justice, stationed at Chicago,
called on President Roosevelt today. They
said afterward that they were in the city
on business and called to pay their respects.
Three of the most Important
cases inaugurated by the government
against railroads have been taken to the
United States Supreme Court from the
Chicago district. It is explained that they
will be decided by the Supreme Court in
the course of the next several weeks. One
is the appeal of the Chicago and Alton
road from the heavy fines imposed on
that corporation for alleged granting, of
rebates to a Chicago beef packing concern.
Another Is an appeal of the five
large express companies of the country
from the injunction granted by Judge
Kohlsaat prohibiting them from exchanging
their franks with railroads for passes
over the latter. The position of the government
when it sought the injunction
was that the Hepburn bill prohibited the
Issuing of passes except to immediate
employes of railroads, and that express
companies could not give their franks to
railroads and obtain passes in exchange.
The other is the case against the Monon
railroad to test whether it is legal to
Issue passes lor advertising Dy newspapers.
All three cases Involve vital features
of the Hepburn law.
Cubans Doing Well.
MaJ. Henry A. Barber, U. S. A., retired,
but connected with the rural guard of
Cuba as assistant adviser to the com-<
manding officer, called on the President.
"The Cubans are doing well," he said,
"and are showing* qualifications for citizenship
and independence. The elections for
president and officials of the republic will
be held the 14th of next month, and will
probably be orderly."
Not a Free Performance.
An erroneous impression has gained
ground that the White House grounds
will be opened free the 16th of this month
to witness the performance of the Ben
Greet players. It is announced today that
there will be two performances by these
players on the 16th for the benefit of the
Washington Playgrounds Association.
One will be for chiiidren in the morning
and the other for adults in the afternoon.
Admission will be charged to each performance.
The occasion is not the birthday
of the President, which is on the :17th
of the month.

NEW YORKERS INTERESTED
ONLY IN BASE BALL TODAY.
Statistics on the National Game Offered
to Newspaper Men at Republican
Headquarters.
Special From a Staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK. October 8.?Try to talk
politics to folks in New York today and
you are met with a scornful look- Keep
on pestering 'em and you are liable to
get a crack In the eye. The town is
plumb crazy over the big base ball championship
game. Nothing else is talked
about nor apparently thought about.
Over at republican headquarters the
visiting newspaper men were blandly offered
by Carl Sheppard statistics on base
bail in lieu of campaign news. In the
literary bureau Dick Oulahan was so absorbed
in reading Sammy Blythe's
sprightly write-up of the head of the literary
bureau that he could not see over
the top of the magazine. D. L. Barry,
John Monk, Charley Taylor, Norborne
Robinson and Jesse Sutor dropped politics
for base ball. Even staid and dignified
Francis Curtis sat up and took notice,
and Victor Mason was suspected of reading
the "gossip of the game" in secret.
Over at democratic headquarters Frank
Morgan, Charley Edwards and Jack Childers
got so excited In a triangular discussion
that Senator Culberson had to call in
Judge Hudspeth to umpire. Then they
all got into the game.
Proposed Whirlwind Campaign.
The democratic headquarters, however,
turned out the information that the democratic
management proposes to make in
the closing days the greatest speaking
campaign the country has ever witnessed
in the states of Maryland, Ne~/ Jersey,
Delaware, New York and Connecticut,
The rural districts are to be invaded by
orators in automobiles, and little groups
of farmers addressed at the cross roads.
In the small towns open-air meetings
will be held and halls hired for the big
guns of the campaign.
"What will be your issues?" Judge
Hudspeth was asked.
"Tariff revision, publicity of campaign
funds and guarantee of bank deposits."
"Judge, in view of your claim of being
hard up, who will pay for the gasoline
for these automobiles? one or the boys
asked him.
At that Mr. Hudspeth's face fell. "It Is
no laughing matter, at that." he said. "I
don't know where the money Is coming
from, but we are going to make the
campaign, even If we have to call the national
committee together after election
and 'shake down' the membership for ar
assessment to pay the bills."
"Speaking about the base ball game,"
said Mr. Hudspeth, changing the subject,
"I think " But his audience fled in
continently.
Latest From Headquarters.
Later?1:30 p.m.?George R. Sheldon's
desk closed; long line of contributors,
bearing checks, were asked to call tomorrow.
Charles F. Brooker was not to
be found. Senator Penrose did not show
up at all; supposed to he in line at the
gate. Senator Culberson missing; last
! seen makin# for northbound car. Judge
Hudspeth "called to Jersey on important
business." All the lesser offl.-ials
disappeared long ago. Umph?everybody
gone to the game but yours truly.

Many negroes voted for Brown, the41emo

heavily to vote against the disfranchise

voted for Brown.
Brown has apparently received mon
negro votes than any democrat who evei

WATERBURY, Conn., October 8.?Illuminating
gas, leaking into and permeating
sleeping rooms in an Italian boarding
house on Bank street, kept by Ouiseppi
, Santoro, claimed four young Italian men
for its victims early today, and but for
the opportune passing by the house of
Antonio de Marco, on his way home, the
i dead might have been more than twice
that number. Besides the dead men two
' women were found either unconscious or
1 partly so from the gas fumes which they
had breathed in when the police, whom
1 de Marco had called, entered the house.
' One of the women is the wife of the proprietor.
All of those still living were
taken outside by the police and medical
1 aid was summoned. Four quickly re1
covered sufficiently to go to the homes
of friends. Six others only slowly responded
to the doctors' efforts. Mrs.
Santoro was sent to a hospital.
De Marco told the police that his at;
tention was first attracted to the house
. by moans and groaning, which he heard
i issuing from it. Thinking that some'
thing was wrong he summoned two policemen
and with them went to the
place, which is a three-story affair. In
, the house the odor of gas was so strong
that it was impossible to enter until
t the doors had been allowed to stand wide
\ open for a while.

TO CHAMPION THE PEOPLE
SENATOR LA FOLLETTE WILL
START A WEEKLY PAPER.
Declares That the Contest Between
Special Privilege anil the Common
Good Is Most Critical.
MADISON, Wis., October a?United
States Senator La Follette is to start a
Commoner. It will not be called the
"Commoner," however, and, in fact, the
name, if decided upon, has not been made
public. The announcement of the senator's
intention was made by him today in
person in the following statement which
he gave out:
"The increasing demands upon me for
addresses and for such printed matter
on representative government as I furnish
for public distribution have impressed
me with the belief that I should
establish a weekly paper, published primarily
in support of government by the
people.
"With assured support I shall proceed
at once with the regular publication of
a weekly magazine, devoted to the public
Interest upon lines broad enough to appeal
to the progressive people of the entire
country. I shall print the records
of public officials and political parties on
vital questions. I shall discuss men and
measures impartially and fearlessly.
"With the assistance of able writers and
correspondents I will furnish readers a
summary of important news, a digest of
proceedings in Congress, a report of the
progress made in the struggle for selfgovernment
in cities and states, and timely,
well considered contributions and editorial
discussion upon economic, financial
and social questions. The paper will deal
not only with these problems, but as
widely as possible with other questions
of human interest. Mrs. La Follette will
have a department In which education
and the home will be discussed from the
woman's standpoint.
"The people's cause can never be too
well served. The contest between special
privilege and the common good is drawing
close and Is becoming more critical.
The need of plain speech and sound measures
was never greater. I shall make
this paper before all other things the vigilant
champion of true representative government."

Robert McCulic. or McCuilough?as his
name is sometimes spelled?a full-blooded
Sioux Indian, almost surely will face a
charge of murder In the first degree. He
was held today by the coroner's jury for
the action of the grand jury, charged
with responsibility for the death of Carl
Fink.
Fink died yesterday at the Emergency
Hospltal as the result of a fracture of the
skull. It is alleged McCulic caused the
Injury nnd also the Injuries exhibited by
Edna Christmas, colored, by beating both
with a club last Saturday in the home
of the Christmas woman in Government
alley northwest.
The inquest in the case was held at
the morgue today by Coroner Nevitt.
Only five witnesses were called. Their
stories served to give a complete outline
of ttye assault and its fatal result.
Dr. William C. Sparks of the staff of
the Emergency Hospital told of receiving
Fink, a white man. about forty years of
age. in the hospital last Saturday. He
described the wounds on the man's head.
Fink was suffering from a fracture of
the skull and cerebral hemorrhage, the
doctor sam. Kink became steadily weaker
until deat^ occurred.
Club Taken From Stable.
John R. Freeman, an employe of the
government stables, where McCulic also
formerly worked, testified that he saw j
McCulic get a heavy club from the <
stable Saturday evening and later return i
it. Witness identified a clyb exhibited by
Coroner Nevltt as undoubtedly the one i
with which the assault was committed. i
Still suffering greatly from wounds on 1
her head and back, inflicted by McCulic.
Edna Christmas, the only eyewitness of
the crime, told a dramatic story.
She had known both McCulic and Fink
for seven or eight years. Fink took his
meals in the house and McCulic rented a
room from her.
Pointing at the Indian who was facing
her In the inquest room, the Christmas
woman said:
"He came in the house some time after
6 o'clock Saturday evening. I asked him
to eat something, but he wouldn't, and
he went right out again.
"Fink was asleep on the sofa. In a
few minutes he came back with a club
in his hands and hit me on the head and
on the back. Then he turned toward
Fink.
"When I saw him clubbing Fink I ran
out and called the police."
Witness declared she did not know the
cause of the trouble. 1
Archibald McDonald testified only that
he met McCulic In the stable and the
latter said he had been in trouble, but
it was all over.
Policeman William Q. Stott of the third
precinct, who made the arrest, said Mc- i
.Culic's only remark when on the way
to the station house was:
"A man does things when he is mad
that he is sorry for after it is all over."
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook testified
that Fink showed every evidence of having
suffered a terrible beating. Death
was due to fracture of the skull and
cerebral hemorrhage.
Verdict of Jury.
After deliberation the coroner's Jury returned
Its verdict as follows:
"Carl Fink came to his death October 7,
1908, at the Emergency Hospital from
fracture of the skull and cerebral hem- .
orrhage. Said fracture was caused by a
blow upon the head, due to being struck
by a piece of wood or plank held in the
hand of one Robert MeCulic. We. the
jury, hold the said Robert McCulic for the
action of the grand jury."
The members of the coroner's jury were
Henry Saur, William L. Lynn, George ,
Smith. E. R. Brooks, L. Sacks and R. H. ,
Moreland.
