BOSTON, Oct. 15. New York Nationals
administered a crushing defeat to the
Boston Americans today by 11 to 4 in
the seventh game of the world's series.
Tonight- finds the" Giants'and hj Red,
Sox waltlngvt engage-In the flnalcoi
bat here' tomorrow,' that will "determine
whjch team shall be the world's chara-
ions of 1912,. .': ' . 1 1 "
The 'series now stands: Boston, three
games won; New York, three games won
and one to contest a tie.
"Smoky Joe" wood, the red sox star
twirler, who had already beaten the
Giants twice ftithe series, was sent out
to pitch the Red Sox into the world's
championship. His end was so swift
and so sudden that the 30.000 spectators
sat In silence at Fenway park as they
saw his delivery batted to all parts of
the field, and six Giant players were
over the home plate before the. last New
Yorker was put out in the first Inning.
Red Sox Fall to Revive.
The Red Sox never recovered from that
first , Inning and though they peppered
away fitfully at Tesreau's moist ball,
they never came within threatening dis
tonee of the Giants. Manager McGraw,'
in the coacher's box, down off third
base, directed the attack on Wood. He
gave orders to hit the first ball pitched
and with few exceptions all of the nine
men who batted. In the first inning, rapped
the first ball sent up. This shower of
hits, combined With a double steal, paved
the way to New York's six runs. There
after Wood was a broken reed and Charlie
Hall, oBston's relief pitcher, was sent
to the mound.
Some of the Giant players seemed to
think Wood had broken 'under the strain
of his two earlier games. His curve ball
had little break to it and the Giants
had no trouble hitting his fast ones.
The Red Sox have Hugh Bedlent ready
to go on the firing line for the deciding
game tomorrow, with Wood prepared to
go to his assistance, while the Giants will
depend onMathewson, with Marquard
held In reserve.
Tesreau held the whip hand throughout
today's game. His mols ball " broke
sharply over the plate and the Red Sox
were unable to afthom his delivery when
hits would have scored runs. Twelve
red-legged players were left anchored on
the bases.
Although New York had a commanding1
lead throughout the game, McGraw kept
Mathewson warmed up to relieve Tes
reau in case he weakened. '

TAFT SENDS fflS SYMPATHY
Fresidetn Expresses Horror. Over the
Shooting of Col. Roosevelt.
HOPES FOR SPEEDY RECOVERY
Attempted Murder by Schrenk is De
nounced by the Chief Execu
tive of Nation as a Da
l tardly Act.
NEW YORK. Oct 15.-Preaident Taft
issued a statement on board the May
flower this afternoon relating to the
shooting of Colonel Roosevelt:
"I cannot withhold an expression of
horror," he said, "at the act of the
maniac who attempted to asstsslnate
Colonel Roosevelt"
"When I briefly expressed my regret
last night," the president's statement con
tinued, "I had been informed that Colonel
Roosevelt was then speaking and had
escaped injury. The news this morning,
however, is of a more serious character
I feel the deepest sympathy for Mr.
Roosevelt and his family and 1 pray that
the wound may prove to be only a flesh
wouryl and that, as the surgeons predict,
there may be no complications.
The assault following the shooting of
Mayor Gaynor two years ago, and the
assassination of three, out of- the last
nine presidents elected by our people, are
events which must cause solemn re
flection by all Americans upon conditions
which make It possible that such dast
ardly deeds may occur In a country af
fording Its citizens such complete ad
vantages of civil liberty.
"It is, of course, difficult entirely to
avoid the malignant purpose of the in
sane. The severe enforcement of the
daws against the carrying of concealed
weapons and the more rigorous and cer
tain prosecution of all such attempted
crimes are, of course, helpful, but the
condemnation of all good citizens of suth
acts will be more effective.
"I speak for the American people In
expressing the profound hopes that Col
onel Roosevelt may speedily recover from
the effects of this dastardly act."
Mr. Taft sent messages to Colonel
Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt, respect
ively, as follows;
"I am greatly 1 shocked to hear of the
outrageous and deplorable assault made
upon you and earnestly hope and pray
that your recovery may be speedy and
without suffering.
"(Signed.) W. H. TAFT."
"1 extend to you my heartfelt sym
pathy in your present distress. I earnestly
hope and pray that you and your family
and the country may be promptly re
lieved of suspense by news that "all dan
ger is passed.
"(Signed.) , W. H: TAFT."

PAINTERS HAVE BAD FALL,
BUT ARE NOT INJURED
Fred Hicks, 1918 Cass street and Ben
'Grady, 62L South Seventeenth, painters.
while working on a tall building at Fif
teenth and Leavenworth streets, were the
victims of a peculiar accident' The two
men were on a scaffold suspended by
ropes about forty feet from the ground,
when suddenly one of the ropes gave
way and the painters dropped to the
ground. A small pile of rubbish cover
ing the pavement directly upon the spot
where they lit, served as a shock ab
sorber and served Its purpose so well that
neither man even so much as received a
bruise. After they became fully aware
that they were neither killed, maimed or
wounded, the occupants patched up their
treacherous perch and once again re
sumed their chosen occupation-
Application for a writ of mandamus
will be filed in the district court of Lan
caster county this morning, praying that
Secretary of State Wait be commanded
to place the names of the six Taft electors
on the ballot for the fa", election In place
of the bull . moose electors who seek
places under the republican designation.
John L. Webster has just completed
the papers. They are signed by John L
Webster, Norrls Brown, A. W. Jefferis,
Aaron Wall and Amos Thomas, attorneys
for the relators.
The six candidates for electors the re
lators seek to have placed on the ballot
are: C. F. Reavls, Falls City, First dis
trict; George D. Smith, Norfolk, Third
district; W.. H. Kllpatrlck, Beatrice,
Fourth district; O. A. Abbott, Grand Is
land, Fifth district; electors-at-large,
Daniel B. Jenckes, Chadron, and Vac
Buresh, Omaha.
It Is aske dthat these be placed on the
ticket as republican electors In place of
A. V. Pease, W. J. Broatch, George S.
Flory, W. E. Thome, A. R. Davis and
Allen Johnson, who ,it ' is alleged, have
forfeited their right to appear on the
ballot as republicans, by reason of which
six vacancies exist. -
Selected According to Law. '
The aix names sought to be put on the
ballot are those selected and nominated
by the republican stats central com'
mittee, September 24, 1912. On October
9, the republican committee presented to
Secretary of State Walt an application
and certificate of nomination of the six
jmen the committee had chosen for the
plaoes and asked that they be plaeed
oh. .the ,ballot4o JtUl h& X&ra nrtes.-Tfcla
tne .secretary or state refused to ao.
The application for mandamus sets forth
that the progressive party has put In
nomination for electors A. V Pease, W..
J. Broatch, George S. Flory, W, E.
Thome, A. R. Davis and A'llen Johnson,'
and has filed their names with the secre
tary of state. It also represents that
Secretary of State Walt ruled that the
progressives had a right to nominate
these men on ".their ticket, and that he
would put them on the ballot. It is set
forth that these men accepted the nom
ination of the progressives and, expect
to be candidates on the progressive ticket
In opposition, to the national republican
party of the United States and of the
state of Nebraska, and that for this
reason, Walt Is without authority to put
them on the ballot as "republicans," but
that he is legally and In duty bound to
cause to be put on the ballot the names
of the six electors nominated by the re
publican state central committee.
It is sat, out that under the constitu
tion of the United States and constitu
tion and laws of Nebraska, tho electors
of the state of Nebraska have a consti
tutional right to nominate and' to have
nominated and have put on the ballot the
nafnes of eight persons as republican
presidential electors; and they have the
constitutional right to exercise the privi
lege of voting for eight republican presi
dential electors under the name of re
publican presidential electors of the state
of Nebraska and the republican voters
o the state have a right to exercise the
privilege of voting for eight republican
presidential electors, who shall be per-
'sons who recognize their obligation to
vote for the nominee of the national
republican party for president and vice
president; and that any .statute, rule, law,
or regulation which deprives the people
of their constitutional right to vote for
such electors is unconstitutional, null and
void.
I It Is also alleged that Secretary of State
(Wait is without Jurisdiction, power, or
! authority to refuse to put upon the bal
lot the names of the six electors chosen
by the state committee as no objection
has ever been filed to the certificate of
their nomination.
Affects Voting Machines.
It is shown that under section 125-r,
chapter 26 of the Compiled Statutes of
Nebraska, 1911, page 943, that In the use
of voting machines the names of the
candidates for presidential electors need
not appear on the ballot labels, but In
Heu thereof one ballot In each party
column or row may contain only the
words, "presidential electors," preceded
by the party name and the names of the
candidates for president and vice presi
dent and every vote registered for such
ballot shall operate as a vote for all
candidates of such party for presidential
electors and be counted as such. Atten
tion is then drawn to the fact that under
the provision of this section of the law
the name of W. H. Taft may be put on
the ballot preceded b ythe name "repub
lican party" and that the declared pur
pose of the six electors nominated on
the republican ticket to ovte for the
nominees of the progressive party ticket
for president and vice president would
be and is in violation of the provision of
the statute laws, while to permit their
names to appear on th erepubllcan ticket
and be so ovted for as provided in the
statute quoted would result in the viola
tion of and In the nullification of the
said statutory provision of the election
law of the state of Nebraska, and, there
fore, would be unlawful and unconstitutional

Moose Sentiment
is Growing Scarce
"The bull moose sentiment is practi
cally cleared out of the territory along
the Elkhorn valley," said F. L Putney
of Tilden at republican stats headquar
ters. Mr. Putney was making arrange
ments for some Taft speakers for Tilden.
"I have talked with many men from the
various towns' along the Northwestern
line up and down the valley. They tell
me that the bull moose sentiment Is get
ting scarce. Several have told me that in
their towns there were only one or, per
haps, two moosers. So far as Madison
county is concerned, the regular repub
licans have control of the county organ
ization there and the moosers have no
county organization. They are sending
out some literature, but this is all being
done quietly and they have no county
committee."
Mr. Putney says the republicans refused
to allow the lithograph of Governor Aid
rich to be placed in their office in Tilden
and that the people of Tilden In general
refused to allow It to be placed In their
show windows as that of a candidate
for re-election.

Term, to Be Held Nest

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 15,-Jonn Schrenk.
Colonel Roosevelt's assailant. . pleaded
guilty to a charge of attempted murder
when gtven a preliminary arraignment
before Judge Neelan In the district court
today. - ' v i
Bchreny was held for trial under bonds
of 87.500. The date was set for tha No
vember term. ' '
This action was taken on recommenda
tion of District ' Attorney Zabel, who
Issued a warrant charging Schrenk with
shooting Colonel Roosevelt with intent
to kill. Judge Neelan 6f tho- district
court Immediately after the arralnment
of Schrenk ordered the head of the chem
ical department of MarqUeUe university
to make a chemical test of i bullets re
maining' in ye would-be t iayr'f r4V
Judge Neelan announced that this sta
tion was taken to determine If th 23-
caliber bullet which entered Colonel
Roosevelt's ludy had ,'beefi poisoned.' ,'!
The judge said he was prompted ' iiy
memories of the - bullet which killed
President McKinley and also by a per
sonal desire to give the surgeons at Chi
cago every possible aid in treating Colo
nel Roosevelt's wound.
Schrenk looked little the won for a
night spent in a cell at the Central sta
tion. - . '''..' "' f i"
"How do you feel 7" Schrenk was asked.
Mchrenk Talks Rationally.
Oh, pretty well, considering everything.
he answered. He appeared unperturbed
over "the probable consequences of the
shooting. He talked rationally. He said
he usually ' voted the democratlo ticket
but that some tlmos he voted as a republican.
The district attorney was ordered to
Issue a warrant charging Schrenk with
assault with Intent to kill.
It was learned from Schrenk that his
sweetheart, whom he called Emily Zelg
Itr. lost 'her life In the destruction by
fire of the steamship ueneral Slocum .In
New York harbor several years ago. He
never married, he says, ..
Schrenk Is a curious study. His hands
are small and well formed and smooth,
as though unused to toll. He talks flu
ently at times, using excellent English,
but often stopping abruptly and refusing
to say another word until his changing
mood made him talkative once more.
His appearance Is that of an Intelligent
man, and his large, clear eyes, which he
held steadily upon his Inquisitors, did
not seem like those of most men who
are Insane." i. , -
The police believe, however, that
Schrenk is afflicted with . some mental
disorder. Whatever his state of mind, It
was apparent to all who, saw him that
John Schrenk was thoroughly In earnest
that he feit that it was a matter of high
duty for him to kill Theodore Roosevelt.
"I will fix ball at 87,600, the maximum
under the charge upon which the 'prisoner
has been arraigned," said Judge Nolan.
Schrenk was returned to the police sta
tion. - - - "
