West Makes Best Gains
(hlcaro TrlhuM-Omialia Be ImmI Wire,
Washington, Oct. 6. An improve
ment in employment conditions is
indicated in the monthly reports of
the tinted States employment serv
ice, made public today, The number
of workers employed by 1.42S firms
in 65 principal industrial centers
shows an increase of 1.2 per cent dur
ing September. It is the first time
during the present year that the
mpnthly tigtires have shown a net
increase in the number employed.
The workers employed by the firms
on September 30 totaled 1,544,529, as
against 1,526,479 on August -51, or a
net increase i 18,050.
The number employed on Septem
ber 30 shows a decrease of 8.1,605, or
5.2 per cent from the t:ital in these
same establishments on January 01.
Of the 65 cities, 38 report employ
ment increases during September
over August, while 26 show decreases,
Eight Show Increase.
Out of 14 groups of industries,
eight show an increase and six a de
crease. The industries which re
ported a greater number on the pay
rolls include stone, clay and glass
products, with an increase of 8.6 per
per cent; food and kindred products,
with an increase ot 3.6 per cent;
chemicals and allied products, with
an increase of 2.6 per cent; railroad
repair shops, with an increase of 6.2

bacco, vehicles for land transporta
tion and miscellaneous industries,
there were decreases of less than 1
per cent each.
Improvement Under Way.
Francis I. Jones, director general
of the United States employment
service, in commenting on the figures
said they show that a definite im
provement in taking place in indus
trial conditions.-
"The continued increase , in em
ployment clearly confirms the indi
cations observed in August, that the
industrial pendulum is definitely on
the upward trend," said Mr. Jones.
"The greatest change reported is in
the western and southern sections, of
the country, obviously due to agri
cultural activities and the advance in
the price of cotton. The industrial
areas in the east not only held their
own, but slightly increased their
forces in many, lines, leading with
textiles and including iron and steel
and railroads.
"Building operations proceed with
greater activity and show every indi
cation of continuing at least until
checked by adverse weather condi
tions. "These favorable trends, however,
should not obscure the fact that with
in the next 30 days thousands of ag
ricultural seasonal workers will re
turn to the industrial centers and
join the multitude of unemployed in
their previous occupations.
"The marked increased industrial
optimism reported from every sec
tion of the country seems to be
based largely on the improved con
ditions in the wholesale and retail
business, which has been partly stim
ulated by the change of season."
Central Group Urged
For Unitarian Church
Detroit, Oct. 6. Holding that the
Unitarian church best can serve the
world by adopting the guidance of a
central board, the council of the
Unitarian general conference, in ses
sion here, urged permanent estab
lishment of such a central group in
its report to the conference.
In the past, churches of the de
nomination have acted independently
of each other, the report pointed out,
in asking that the organization en
dorse a program providing for a
board that would act in the capacity
of a bishop.
The conference adopted a resolu
tion congratulating William Howard
Taft, president of the conference,
upon his assumption of duties as

Doctor Tells of
Treating Meyer
For Pneumonia
Important Tebtimony Given
In Trial of Lyda Southard,
Charged With Slay
ing Kx-IIusluuid.
Twin Falls. Idaho. Oct. (i. That
Edward F. Meyer buffered an attack
of typhoid fever and typhoid pneu
monia in April, 191 J, and was treated
by Dr. D. L. Alexander of Twin
Falls, was stated on the witness
stand by Dr. Alexander in the trial
of Lyda Meyer Southard, alleged
poisoner of Meyer, her former hus
band. The admission is regarded as of
importance when coupled with other
medical testimony to the effect that
the Widal test for typhoid might re.
suit in a positive reaction when ap
plied to the blood of a person never
previously afflicted with typhoid.
Dr. Alexander also stated -on the
witness stand, that in his opinion
Meyer was suffering from 'some
sort of intoxication or some sort of
poison," when he visited the patient
at the hospital on September 3, four
days prior to Meyer's death.
Dr. Alexander declared that within
his experience he had never seen a
case of typhoid in which the patient
had a subnormal, temperature
throughout the progress of the
disease. He said this sometimes de
veloped during the recovery, but he
never knew it to be present before
the period of recovery. - ,
An unusual percentage of women
and young girls were present among
the spectators at today's session of
the trial, many oi whom did not
leave their seats for lunch. The de
fendant preserved her customary at
titude of stolid indifference, although
she appeared to be less affected by
the proceedings today than she has
been for some time.

ture "Colonel Theodore Roosevelt"
which appeared on a note for $69,000
held by Mrs. Emma ' Richardson
Burkett of Hillsdale, Ind.,: was a
forgery. . - '
They gave their testimony at the
opening of the trial of Mrs. Burkett,
who was arrested last July on a
charge of forgery, after she had pre
sented a claim to the Roosevelt
estate, was extradited to New York,
locked up in the Tombs and later
transferred to Bellevue hospital for
observation as to her sanity.
All the witnesses agreed that the
colonel never had prefixed his title
to his name in any signature they
had seen.

Kansas Man Dies
At Wheel of Auto

Of Family.
'Atlauttc, la!,". "Oct. .' 6. (Special
Telegrata.) Death of Estes Kernes,
67, from, heart disease, while he was
at the wheel of his automobile,
caused the car to crash through the
guard rail of a bridge near Avoca,
perhaps fatally injuring his s.'ster-in-law,
Mrs'. George Kernes of Neola.
and slightly injuring his wife and
small daughter.' -
Physicians who examined the body
of Kernes immediately after it wa-s
taken from under the overturned
automobile declared his death was
not due to the accident. They' say
he evidently had died of heart disease
before the machine went off the
bridge.
Just before the car reached the
bridge, Mrs. Kernes spoke to her
husband, telling him to drive slowly.
He did not respond. It is thought
his failure to answer his wife was
because he was dead.
Mr. and Mrs. Kernes and daughter
motored from their home in Norton,
Kan., to visit at the home of his
brother in Neola. They were out
riding when theaccident occured.

New York, Oct. 6. Much hag
been written about the Giants hav
ing the polish and edge in the world
series by virtue of superior pitching.
Anything the National league chain
ptons lacked in the first particular
they have received in the first two
games ot the current worKI title
quest.
Carl Mays polished them off
brilliantly in the opening game and
Waitc Jioyt, Giant cast oft, and but
a few years ago a Brooklyn High
school pitcher, finished them off with
a fine gloss today. The score wai
identical with that of the previous
day 3 to 0-and the vaunted Giants,
they of the profound science and
the numerous strategists, have yet
to break into the run column in the
1912 big series.
And as for the edge on superior
pitching, the Giants have not shown
it, but felt it the sharp edge, too
in these two remarkable battles on
the old Polo grounds. A capacity
crowd of upward of 38,000 saw the
Giants humbled-today as completely
as any club, toppled from the pin
nacle of public esteem, has been
humbled since world title games
were inaugurated.
Giants Outgamed.
Taking chances unprecedented in
contests of such importance, doing
the unexpected and forcing the
breaks at every turn, the Yankees
have thoroughly outgamed the once
haughty menials of "Muggsy" Mc
Graw and tonight Miller Huggins
the modest but all-seeing general
of the victorious Yanks, is held in
highest esteem by all those who have
witnessed the rare performance oi
his charges, including the score ol
New York base ball writers who
have flayed him unrelentingly almost
from the time he took up the man
agement of the New York Ameri
cans. In reducing the Giants to utter
dejection today, there were two
of Hoyt and the reckless abandon
of the Yankee base running, even
more apparent in the second game
than" in the opener, in which Me-
Nally accomplished his astounding
theft of home. Today the ponderous
Bob Meusel duplicated McNally's
feat and crossed the plate standing
up. He took the Giant catcher,
Earl Smith, so completely by sur
prise that Smith permitted a, waist
high fast ball, just a few inches out
side the plate, to bound out of his
mitt for a short passed ball.
Steals Home in Eighth.
Meusel's theft of home came in V
a hectic eighth inning in which the
Giants were plainly rattled and the
vast crowd roared its approval of
Yankee daring. But a few innings
(Turn to Pnge Eight, Column Four.)
