AIRPLANE RACE ACROSS COUNTRY NOW ON WING
• CONFERENCE CONSIDERS PLAN TO STOP IMMIGRATION
CHICAGO, Oct. 9. — With the
odds even on the eighth game of
the World’' series, the Chicago
White Sox went down to defeat
here this afternoon, losing both the
game and the championship to the
Cincinnati Reds pennant-winners of
the National league.
The excitement was intense when
the play started, local fans being
confident that the Sox would cap
ture the game and even up the
score with the Reds, thereby ne
cessitating a ninth game to decide
the championship. The game was
a disappointment, however, both
pitchers allowing more runs to be
made than had been recorded in
any previous game. The Ileds made
ten runs, sixteen hits, and two er
rors. Chicago made five runs, ten
hits, and one error.
LLOYD GEORGE IS
> OPPOSING UNIONS
LONDON, Oct. 9.-—It is under
stood that Premier Lloyd George
has broken with the unions of Eng
land as a result of the late railway
♦ strike, which he brands as another
attempt of the workers to hold up
the country and strangle it into
submission. He says the strike had
all the earmarks of Prussianism.
The premier believes the govem
men has won a victory over the
strikers w’hich will keep them in
line for aw'hile.
Arrivals in Nenana this after
noon are autnority for the state
ment that a considerable number of
men are on the way down from
Fairbanks, over the right-of-way,
and should reach town late this
afternoon. Fully a dozen were
counted, and it is believed the
number w’ill exceed that.
The Nenana-Fairbanks line af
fords a comparatively easy means
of communication between the two
towms. the gap of ten miles be
tween ends of steel being no seri
ous obstacle to mushers.
The closing down of mining ac
tivities in the Fairbanks district and
the demand for workers along the
railroad is attracting many men to
Nenana now, and the indications
are that there will be a still heavier
movement in this direction before
the river closes.
The dragline* excavator was
moved to a gravel bed near the
Burns mine today, where it will
dig surfacing material for the grade
south of the Crossing.
The failure of a jury at Circle to
return a verdict of guilty against
Helen Scott, on a charge of assault
and battery, is the subject of a
complaint wired to Marshal Erwin
this week by Mrs. M. B. Kuhn, the
complaining witness in the case.
She informed the marshal that she
had been beaten by the Scott wom
an and that her assailant had been
permitted to go free.
Deputy Marshal Ed Poppel also
wired the Fairbanks office regarding
the case, explaining that the jury
had returned a verdict of not guilty
after a thorough airing of the case,
and intimating that the verdict was
a reasonable one, notwithstanding
the fact that it had failed to meet
with the approval of the complain
ing w-itness.
As already recorded in these col
umns, the trial took place at Circle
while the steamer Yukon was in
port on the last voyage down the
river, and the jury was composed
partly of members of the crew of
the steamer and one of the pass
engers, without whom it would have
been impossible to give the Scott
woman a jury trial, and to whom it
was quite apparent that the attack
made upon Mrs. Kuhn was not with
out provocation.
LAST 10 SUSPEND;
FIRM REOPEN
WARREN, Ohio, Oct. 9. — The
striking employes of the Trumbull
Steel company, who were the last
to leave their places when the strike
|was called, have voted to return to
'work, and it is expected that the
| plant of the company will be in full
| operation tomorrow.
The Trumbull strikers are the
first in the Mahoning valley to vote
to return to the mills, but it is
|
believed their action will be fol
lowed by others.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 9.—j
Yielding the pressure brought to1

diplomatic circles that d'Annunzio
will be as loyal to the duke in the
present emergency as he was during
the war, and that it will be possible,
for the government to assume
charge of the city without resort
to arms, in which event the final
settlement of the Fiume dispute
will be left for adjustment by the
