Wind Helps Firemen ^ Unofficial estimates of the damage done to the Cudahy Packing plant early Sunday morning by <fire which swept through the box factory, the lumber yard, the hide plant and the Old Dutch Cleanser plant, place the loss at close to quarter of a million dollars. Officials of the company had not been located at a late hour Sunday night but employes declared that the damage would not be as great as at first believed. R. E. Yocum, general manager of all Cudahy plants, and George Ray nier, claim adjuster for all plant*, with offices In Chicago, aro now on their way to Omaha. An official esti mate of the loss will lie made after their arrival here. There will be about 200 men thrown out of employment as a result of the fire, C. A. Stewart, general superintendent of the plant, said. The small number of men to be out of work Is due to the fact that the Dutch Cleanser plant was used al most entirely for the storage of the completed product and the box fac tory employed but 50 men, he said. Plans for the rebuilding of the de stroyed portions of the packing plant will be completed as soon as these officials arrive, it was said. Origin Undetermined. The origin of the flames Is undeter mined. They were discovered shortly after 2 and spread rapidly. All of the available apparatus from Omaha was called to the scene of the blaze. For a time the oil tank, the oleo de partment, the soap factory and the office were threatened. The wind changed at 3 and the, buildings were then declared out of danger. A short time later the fire was said to be under control. Oiler Discovers Fire The alarm was sounded by Roy Gil logly, member of the night oil crew which supplies oil to all the giant pumps in the packing plant. Glllogly summoned the Cudahy fire department, which In turn Immedi ately called for help from the Omaha department. At 1:30 a second alarm was sent to the downtown companies. A short time later the third alarm wrb sent forth. Glllogly first saw that the flames had gained considerable headway among the supplies In the lumber yard. A strong northwest wind fanned the flames higher and higher and sparks and firebrands began to fly in the direction of the box factory. Box Factory Blazes. In a few moments the box factory which la southeast anil across the ♦ racks from the lumber yard was in flames. This was followed by the Old Dutch Cleanser factory which le east of the lumber yard. Five box cars, loaded with lumber standing on a sidetrack, were totally destroyed by the fire. The firemen abandoned any attempt to halt the flames at the lumber yard or the box cars, nut concentrated their efforts on trying to stop the flames from spreading to the oleo de ^ partment, office building, and soap factory which is a large six story w~ brick building.

Dayton, O., Oct. 4.—Capt. Burt E. Skeel, commander of the Twenty seventh squadron of the First United States army air pursuit group, Self ridge field, Mt. Clemens, Mich., fell to his death from an altitude vari ously estimated at between 500 and 1,000 feet at Wilbur Wright field to day as he was preparing to swing into a flying start In the Pulitzer race, the last event of the Interna tional air races. Forty thousand spectators saw Skeel's plane break into pieces and fall from the sky. As the seemingly matchlike splinters rained down Lieut. W. H. Brookley of McCook field shot his Curtiss racer over the spot where his fellow flyer's body lay Imbedded 15 feet in the soft clay and swung Into the race. Mills Wins Race. Lieut. H. H. Mills, flying a Ver ville Sperry racer, won the race, traveling the 200-kilometer course at the rate of 216.55 miles an hour. This is almost 30 miles an hour less than the best previous mark, made last year at St. Louis by Lieut. A. J. Wil liams of the navy, who traveled 243.68 miles an hour.

FRESH CHARGES OF PRICE FIXING Washington, Oct. 5.— Fresh charges of price fixing and questionable prac tices by manufacturers of household furnishings, are made in a concluding report on the Industry by the federal trade commission, acting In response to a senate resolution. "The outstanding feature* of the report," sanys an announcement hy the commission, "are the control ex ercised by patent pools among manu facturrrs of washing machines, the shutting out of new competition In the vacuum cleaner industry, the questionable competitive tactics of the leading manufacturer* of alumin um cooking utensils, which are affil iated with the Aluminum Company of America; the monopolistic position of the latter company, which has ap parently engaged In various practices forbidden by a Judicial decree under the Sherman act; the dominating po sition of the Singer company.

Chicago. Oct. 6.—The close alliance between the democrats and La Fol lette to block a Coolldge majority In the electoral college was today turned from a matter of rumor to an open reality. hTe shift from behind the scenes to work in the open came with the speech last night of Gov ernor Charles \V. Bryan at Oberlln, Kan. The Bryan plea was openly: "If not Davis, then La Follette.” The exact words used by the Ne braska governor are as follows: "If you want to cast a vote of pro test, you can do so by voting for the third party ticket. If you want to vote for relief, the only place for you to go is to the democratic ticket.” It had been thought for a time by those who have been close to demo cratic national headquarters that the Bryan (C. W.) program of making trades with the La Follette forces was without the consent of Davis and the democratic manager*. A few days before Bryan’s recent visit to Chicago headquarters there were ru mors that he was being summoned for the purpose of being told pointed ly that he must get out of his head the idea that there was any hope of Ills being a possible choice for vice president, and in that way possibly become president because of a default in the house. It would appear now that instead of being called down he was given the hearty endorsement of the Davis managers and told to go to It. Until this meeting here Bryan had never openly made a bid for trades. The Kansas meeting following so closely after the conference at headquarters Indicates that the present plan of the democrats is to join with La Fol lette and whittle away as many votes as possible In order to prevent if pos sible a majority in the eltctoral col lege for Coolidge.

Lanky Texan New Hero By DAMON RUN VON, tilvmul Service Staff Correspondent. Washington, Oct. 5.—One, two, three—the cudgel-like arm of big Fred Marberry of the Washington club, rose and fell in the ninth in ning of the second game of the world series this afternoon. One, two, three—the arm catapult ed the ball, white and whirling, past the swishing bat of young Travis Jackson, short fielder of the New Tork Giants, while "Whack” Wilson fretted at second base with what would have been the winning run for the Manhattan Islanders. ' One, two, three—then the shrill voice of the umpire, BUI Klem, inton ing “he's out.” It was the out that ended the In ning, the out that closed a mighty rally by the Giants, leaving the score a tie at 3 to 3. for the moment. Big Marberry, a tall Texan with arms that dangle loosely from hii shoulders, moved with shambling gait back to the bench of the Wash ington club and sat there through the last half of the ninth watclng hie team mates break the tie and win the game by the score of 4 to 3. Pcokinfviugh Dots It. Roger Peckinpau&h did It with * two bagger off Jack Bentley, follow ing a base on balls to Joe Judge and a sacrifice by Bluege. Marberry watched these incidents stolidly. As Judge crossed the plate with the winning run and 40.000 fans were tongueing Washington's jubila lion and tossing hats and cushion? out on the field, the lanky Texar arose, shook himself and shamble.* off towards the dressing room. He acted no part of the beseball hero. He probably did not know then that he had entered diamond history as the winning pitcher of a world series game on three pitched balls Marberry relieved Zachary, the Washington left-hander, in the ninth when the game Giants struggled up through a two-run lead to even terms with the Washington club Marberrv had been ‘ warming up” for several innings over in front of the right field pavilion, his big arm lifting and falling steadily. Occasionally he turn ed his head to look at the game, then would resume his "warming up.” Is “Relief” Pitcher. Marberry has generally been •'warming up" during the past season when the Washington club was on the field He has been called the greatest "relief" pitcher that ever lived, “a relief pitcher being the man of the baseball emergency who is rushed in. generally at the last minute, to stem the tide of defeat Marberry. who is little more than a recruit, has l>een in over 50 game? for Washington this season, and ha1 started only a few.
