his New t ork apart nu nt b r some
time, i.ast evening, shortly before ti

waiting for the other memi-t-rs of his
family.
Twenty minutes iatt-r h< staggered
into the entrance oi the apartment
house, where he sank into the arms
of friends who happened to be stand

The Senator was rushed up to his
rooms and physicians summoned. Dr

CRENSHAW EXPLAINS
APPARENT MIX-UP
Xcw Measure Arranging for His
Appointment Sent Back \\ itk
out Recommendation by Or
dinance Committee.
When the committee on ordinance,
charter and reform received an ordi
nance arranging for the creation of
a second assistant superintendent of
the water department, to he assigned
to Washington Ward, they found that
C. A. Burkert, who was generally
supposed to have hern dropped from
i the city payroll along with other Man
i Chester officials or, August 31, was
i still on the Job, and drawing his
[salary regularly.
The committee members could not
j understand this Several wanted to
! know by what authority Mr. Burkert
' held a position that had not been
; created. They also wanted to know
! where his salary was coming from.
| Superintendent Davis, of the water
! department, was questioned. He was
i rather hazy on the details as to how
: Mr Uurkert managed to remain In
1 the city's employ when the other offi
cials were dropped, according to the
annexation agreement. As to salary,
Mr Davis said he thought Mr. Burk
i ert was being paid out of the water
1 rents received from Washington ward.
! He was then asked how he dlffen
' tlated the receipts from the South
' side front those of any other ward.
Mr. Davis couldn't answer. He ad
; rnlttcd that he didn't know much
about It. except that Mr Burkert was
j certainly working and certainly being
paid.
As a result of the genera! inability
to secure information as to the au
■ thorlty under which Mr. Burkert was
j employed, the committee, rather ln
i dignantly sent the ordinance creating
i a position already in existence, back
| to the water committee without
j recommendation.
The explanation of the matter was
I vouchsafed by City Accountant Cren
■ shaw- Friday morning. Mr. Crenshaw
explained that, although there is no
I mention of the fact on the minutes,
i the services of Mr. Burkert were re
tained by the water committee of th«
old council. He has been paid from
the general fund of the water depart
ment, the amount of hia salary being
charged to Washington ward, in th*
expense account of that district being
kept by the city. Mr. Burkert waf
not retained as an official, but merelv
ns an employe at the same salar;,
he received as superintendent of th*
Manchester water works.
They took this action on their owr
initiative, without authority from
council as a whole. They then fra met
an ordinance arranging for Mr. Burk
'erfs' retention, giving him a title am
; increasing his salary from ISO month
j ly to $1,500 annually. This measuri
j died with the old council. it uai
! practically the same ordinance tha
j the ordinance committee refused t<
j consider Thursday night
j It seems that the new water com
i mlttee either did not know or hat
I forgotten that Mr. Burkert was a
j work, and imagining the Southsld*
j water works to be without a compe
j tent official, proceeded to arrange foi
■ an appointment.
The ordinance will t>e sent back t<
; the ordinance committee with thf
| foregoing explanation.

The aniionneenieiit of the officials
calling of the gnunc t'as not made
until 11 :n:t A. M., when t.arrj Herr-,
inaiin. president of the national com
mission, decided after a conference
with the umpires that the rain of the
night and morning and tin* drizzle
falling at tluvt time made playing iin
possible. It was dtsideo tliai in event
of fin- fulls winning to-morrow, un
other gunie will be played here on
Sunday, should the funs win lliat,
the nett game will ho played In I'ldla
delpliia on Tuesday, and In event of
a tiiird fub victory, which would lie
up the series, the deciding game will
Ik- played In a c ity to be decided upon
later.
Chicago was prepared for the worst,
the fourtli successive defeat of her
pet fids by the all-conquering Ath
letics. the yielding of iter world’s
championship hopes without the pleas
ure of a single glimpse of victory .
It’s the rudest awakening a base
ball public ever had and as far as
the rubs themselves, the gloom that
pervades their camp is heavier than
that uhlih engulfed th. m four years
ago, when they wi re trampled upon
by the White Sox.
i The games played so far have re
spited in such decisive victories for,
f onnie Mack’s men that a diagnosti- .
.■tan, even one in sympathy with the1
Cubs, can find absolutely nothing to j
say in their favor, as compared with :
th.- .Athletics. Toam for team, man1
for man and manager for manager. ■
the Culls are better subjects fur con
trast with the Athletics than tor com
parison.
ll is too bad that the word “out
classed " has been so sadly overwork
ed, for really It is the one word that
titty describes the Cubs’ status.
It is within the range of possibility,
but no nearer, that the Cubs vvlll win I
this afternoon and thus prolong the !
agony, but the almost universal opin
ion is that the fast-feared Maekmen
will do a little more joy-riding on the
Westride Park ay the Cubs' expense,
thus adding the lew remaining drops
needed to overflow Chicago's cup of i
[ woe. |
fub’ Machine Dead.
If the world's championship series
thus iar means anything, it means,
that the “Cub machine." an organi
zation that for years has won the
plaudits of the baseball world and
stood for the highest development of
the national game, will be at an end
this season. It has demonstrated that
1 it can't go the pave, and how it man
' aged to win the National League
1 championship with such ease is ex
plicable only on one ground; that It
1 had the other teams “buffaloed’' by
its form, r brilliant successes.
The biggest surprises of the three
games have been the failure of the
Cubs' reputed team-work to show It
s.-lf. and' th, absence of that steadl
n< s> and confidence "born of long as- !
soctation together of the players and
I j their v ictories of the past.’’
, I The wise ones said that Chance's
men would play like a well-oiled ma
i chine and that the Athletics would,
I 'blow.'' They admitted that the Phil
I adelphians had the edge when it came
' to pitchers and that they might out
bat the fubs slightly, but that these
advantages would be offset by the
more scientific play of the Westerners.

LLOYO MAY RETURN

Bishop Coadjutor of Virginia
Elected Head of Domestic
and Foreign Board.
HONORED AT CINCINNATI
Former (itmeral Secretary Now
Has Matter Under Serious
Consideration.
If the Rt Rev. Arthur S. I.iovd,
bishop coadjutor of Virginia, accepts
the presidency of the domestic and
foreign mission hoard of the Epis
copal Church, to which he was elected
Thursday afternoon at the general
convention in Cincinnati, he will moat
probably give up his bishopric duties
in Virginia In fact. It is stated by
RlohmoWf churchmen that if he ac
cepted he would undoubtedly resign
his present office, owing to the ardu
ous duties that go with the head of
the mission board. He would, how
ever. retain his title of bishop.
Official news of Bishop Lloyd's ele
vation to head of the board, which
has been reorganized during the ses
sions ot the convention, reached Rich
mond Thursday night in a telegram
to Rev. Dr. W. Meade Clark, rector
of St. James church, and member of
the mission board, who returned home
from the convention several days 'ago.
The wire messages stated that Bishop
Lloyd's election created warm enthu
siasm in the convention. The name of
Bishop Brent, of the Philippines, was
aiiso proposed, but was withdrawn
before a vote was taken.
Bishop's Action Uncertain.
What action Bishop Lloyd will take
in the matter is not known at this
time, but it is known that he will give
It his most serious consideration be
fore reaching a decision.
f rlor to his election as coadjutor
to Bishop Gibson last year, Bishop
Lloyd served for more than ten years
as general secretary of the mission
board, with headquarters at New
York, and it was only after declining
bishoprics in several other parts ot
the country that he finally agreed to
become bishop coadjutor of jklrninta
at considerable pecuniary saeSHce.
Bishop Lloyd is regarded ^Kasilj
the highest authority on mli3K>ns ir
the Episcopal church in America anc
possesses: executive ability In the high
est degree. Last spring he was electee
a member of the domestic and for
eign board to fill a vacancy.
Before going into mission work h«
was rector of St. Luke s church, Nor
folk. Since returning to Virginia h<
has made his home at Alexandria.
Rev. Dr. John J. Lloyd, a brothel
of the bishop, was formerly in chargt
of a church at Lynchburg. He is now
archdeacon of Southwest Virginia.
Secretaryship Abolished.
Hitherto the general secretary ol
the mission board has been in en
tire charge of the work. That office
under the reorganisation, is now abol
ished. with the executive duties vest
ed in the newly created office of pres
ident.
It is understood that the latter offlet
carries a.tenure of sis years and tha
the president may succeed himself a
the expiration of that time, if he *
wishes.
In event Bishop Lloyd decides tc
give up his duties in Virginia, an
other coadjutor to Bishop Gibsoi
would doubtless be chosen at thi
Virginia diocesan convention nexi
spring, and It may be that! a spoci.i
: session of the convention would tx
i called tor that purpoaa.
