MACKMEN GET OFF WITH A GOOD
LEAD, AND HAVE ENOUGH TO
WIN, 6 TO 5, WHEN THE GIANTS
COMMENCE TO HIT BENDER AT
THE LAST.
THREE GAMES FOR PHIL A.,
ONE FOR NEW YORK
Shibe Park, Philadelphia, Pa.i Oct.
10. The Athletics, champions of the
American league, won their third vic
tory in the world's series of 1913 by
defeating the New York Giants by a
score of C to 5 in the fourth game or
the series for the championship
laurels of baseball. Twenty thousand
people saw a contest in which the
Athletics took the six run lead over
their opponents only to have It cut
doifk to a scant one run when the
New York's fell on the Indian Bender's
delivery and with a fusillade of Bix
tits sent five runs over the plate.
Bender held the Giants to two hits in
the first six innings and then was
found freely. Merkle's home run and
Shafer's three bagger featured the
New York hitting.
A circus catch by Oldring cut off a
run for New York. The Athletics" de
fense was perfect. The Athletics have
now won three games and the New
Yorks one game in the series. The
two teams play at the Polo grounds,
tomorrow and Christy Mathewson will
undoubtedly face the Athletics.

IMPORTANT DECISION BY SECRETARY
REDFIELD WORLD'S FUR CENTER NOW j
MOVES TO AMERICA. !
Washington, I). C, Oct. In. The
Vnited Stales government, through
Secretary of Commerce RedSeld has
just made a decision that will make
St. Louis the fur center of the world.
Thut is, to change the sale of all
the government catch of seal skins,
foxes und other Alaska furs, from Lon
don to St. Louis.
This is (he first time in history that
the American seal catch has been
marketed through American channels,
and the action of Secretary William C.
Hedlield is regarded by the commer
cial organizations and bureaus of com
merce with great favor; particularly
as being significant of the activity of
the Wilson administration in paying
close attention to all manufacturing
and trade interests.
The United States thus will dispose
of several thousand raw seal Bklns
constituting the 1913 catch. And under
the protecting laws favoring the in
ciease of seals, the sale will increase
many fold in . the coming few years.
The next step will be the removal
from London to St. Louis of seal skin
tenners and dyers, establishing in
America a great new manufacturing
industry.
Thus will a trade of great propor
tions be foBtered. But more than this
It will mean the elimination of the
present heavy duty now paid on dress
ed and dyed skins prepared In Europe;
while the skins will be dressed and
dyed in America just as well, if not
better, according to the statement of
the best European dyers themselves.
The economy thus effected by this
home industry and by the absence of
the former heavy duty will eventually
mean a saving of several hundred dol
lars a garment to milady in the pur
chase of the aristocrat of all furs.
The government furs, by the deci
sion of Secretary of Commerce Red
field, will be sold at public auction by
Funsten Bros. & Company of St.
Louis, who are eminently qualified for
the responsibility.
The first sale is scheduled for some
time in December, at which time the
representatives of the great furriers
of America and Europe will assemble
at the Funsten Fur exchange where
this wonderful collection of seal skins
will be sold to the highest bidder.
Philip B. Fouke and A. M. Ahcrn, of
Funsten 's, will conduct the sale for
the St. Louis firm.
The history of the seal is one of (he
most absorbing and romantic of all the
great American industries. While the
II. S.. government has produced won
derfully Interesting books on the sub
ject, and which can be had free, of
charge, the whole country will be In
terested in a few facts bearing on the
seal history of North America, espec
ially in the light, of the recent action
q lof the department of commerce, which
Qistamps St. Tonis as the fur center of
world
The price paid to Russia for the
whale of Alaska was $7,000,000. The
revenue from the seal islands alone
rough .barren, forbidding spots that
comprise but an infinitesimal area of
the Alaska map, has been $13,000,000
more than twice the sum paid for
the entire territory.
This area comprises the Pribilof
Islands, discovered in 1786 by the Rus
sian Navigator whose name the is
lands bear. It is the seat of the most
important fur seal colony in the world.
Next in Importance is the Commander
herd owned by Russia, while the Kuril
herd owned by Japan comes third.
During the first year of Uncle Sam's
possession the catch was about two
hundred to 300,000 seals, but the herd
has diminished so considerably that as
a result laws have been enacted by
which the herds will be conseiyed and
future catches increased.
The Greatest Evil.
This great diminution of the herds
jhas been the result of pelagic sealing
the killing of seals in the open sea.
Whole fleets would sometimes lay off
the seal island, while their crews kil
led the female seals which swam out
sea seeking food.
At sea the sexes cannot be dis
tinguished, and the females predomin
ating the pelagic catch is made up
largely of this class, the percentage
being from 85 to 95 per cent of fe
males. The death of a female seal was
not the only evil. She was out seeking
food for her pup which she had left
on shore, so that her death meant also
the death of the young one.
The United States, Russia and Jap
an, and Great Britain have made a
pact which stipulates that no longer

FEDERALS ARESULZER FLAYED
DESERTING BY JUDGE A. B.
- - .1
AUBERT
THE RELIEF OF TORREON WAS NOT
ACCOMPLISHED BECAUSE HALF
CF THE FEDERAL REINFORCE
MENTS UNDER GENERAL AUBERT
HAVE DESERTED.
RETAKING OF CITY
OF DURANGO FAILED
-Mexico City, Mex., Oct. 10. The
failure of General fruey Aubert to get
lo the city of Torreon in time to re -
llieve it-a mission on which he set
out from Saltillo nearly a month ago
with a large force of federal troops
H explained by the fact that the great
ei part of his 2000 men deserted him
before he had completed half of his
journey.
He had renched Madera. 23 miles
east of Torreon, when news of the
evacuation of the city reached him.
As soon as the vanguard of the re
treating federal troops came into
view, General Aubert's men fled with
all their arms and ammunition.
The report that General Aubert had
gone over to the rebels was not Bill-
stantiated. He is said today to be at
Hipolito, 50 miles west of Saltillo, to
which point he retreated with the
men who had evacuated Torreon un
der Generals Ignaclo Bravo, Man-
guia and Escudero. General Alvirez,
who started with 1000 men, two siege
guns and a number of pieces of light
artillery to re-take the city of Da
Tango from the rebels and whose de
feat caused the evacuation of Torreon,
fell into an ambuscade at La Loma,
30 miles to the southwest of Torreon.
Relying on Information that the rebels
had left the vicinity, he moved for
ward. Suddenly he found both ad
vances and retreat cut off in a can
yon by heavy forces of rebels, who
poured in a sharp fire from both sides
of the paHS. General Alvirez made B
slout resistance and managed to get
word back to Torreon asking for rein
forcements.
Another story of the same fight Is
that the federal traps under General
Alvirez broke and fled as soon as the
first shot had been fired.
General Rlvirez, who was regarded
an one of tne Dravesi omcers in tne
federal army, was captured with his
staff and all are said to have been ex
ecuted on the spot by the rebels.
Ordered Executed.
El Paso, Texas. Oct. 10. Friends
here of General Pascual Orozco and
General Ynez Salazar, former rebel
commanders, now In command of fed
eral forces received ' advices from
Chihuahua today saying both com
manders are slated to be executed for
alleged disloyalty to the federal gov
ernment. Salazar is with his army,
and Orozco has never left Chihuahua
city.
Rebels Gathering.
Eagle Pass, Tex., Oct. 10. Couriers
brought word to American military
authorities here today that about 3,000
constitutionalists have mobilized with
in striking distance of Piedras NegraB.
Jesus Carranza, brother of the con
stitutionalist , leader, commands this
force.

with a vitriolic speech. In the course
of his speech he asset-led former Sen-j
aior isiinweu now serving a u-mi m
Sing Sing might have sat at the feet .
of Governor Sulzer and learned crime.
Albany, N. Y., Oct. 10. Never since
the impeachment tria.1 of Governor
Sulzer opened has he been subjected
to such a severe verbal Haying as
Judge Alton B. Parker delivered in
his remarks for the board of mana
gers today.
"Before the bar, the defendant
stands guilty of these offenses charg
ed by the government, and proved by
uncontroverted evidence," said Judge
Parker. "Before the bar of the court
of the public opinion this defendant
stands condemned on the further
damning testimony of his shifty de
fenses and his futile efforts to dodge j
by technicalities the trial of the issues j
before this high court."
Judge Parker did not. finish yester
day. He dealt only with articles 1, 2
and 6, (he "money articles" of the im
peachment charges. He read into
the record the first complete state
ment of Sulzer's financial transactions
during the campaign. It follows:
Contributions not reported $40,400.
Cash paid to brokers, $40,462.50.
Contributions delivered to Sulzer,
$29,300.
CaBh deposited by Sulzer in bank,
$14,400.
Checks endorsed by Sulzer, $3,200.
The purpose for which each con
tribution was made was set forth as
nearly as possible. The statement
showed that $3,450 of the unreported
contributions had been designated
for use In his campaign.
In his discussion of the first article
Judge Parker said ne was amazea at
the eloquence wnicn iviarsnaii couio
display m attempting to upnoia so
absolutely wortniess a cnarauier as
Sarecky demonstrated himself to be
while on the witness stand.
The governor knew. Judge Parker
said, that when he signed the state
ment of campaign contributions
placed before him by his secretary.
Louts A. Sarecky, "that, the statement
iwas untrue."
"The man who read that list and ex
amined It," said the attorney, "knew
I it was not true. It does not help him
i for Sarecky to say he did the best he
could. His master, illiam Sulzer,
knew it was a lie."

Colonel Geo. Goethals, chief engineer
of the canal zone:
"My warmest congratulations," wir

Practically no ceremony accompa

president immediately after luncheon
went to the office of Chief Usher
Hoover in the executive mansion,
where the instrument was waiting.
Chief Operator E. W. Smithers tested
the line just before 2 o'clock and sent
four dots flashing through to Panama
as the signal that the president was
ready. Wilson stepped forward just
as fhe hands of the White House clock
touched the hour and pressed the,
button, flashing to Panama the cur
rent which was to send tons and tons
of the Gamboa dike flying heaven

the president with a smile as he j
turned away, "Gamboa Is busted." j

A little electric spark, originating j
