Too Muck Government
In Business Caused
Slump, Says Coal Man
Indianapolis, Oct. 11. Too much
government in business has been the
major cause of business depression,
George H. Cushing, managing direc
tor of the American Wholesale Coal
association, today told the conven
tion of the National Association of
Purchasing Agents.
Governmental agencies, he said,
v during three years of war, inflated
the currency and then contracted it,
deflating prices, destroying buying
power amounting to between $25,
000.000,000 and $30,000,000,000 a year.
The yearly national tax budget of
55,000,000,000, de declared, could not
materially be decreased because, he
said, $4,000,000,000 went. to pay the
cost of past wars or for preparation
for future wars. ......
The present cost of government,.
he said, was 7 1-2 per cent of the
estimated value of production , of
farms, mines, quarries and factories;
50 per cent of the increased value of
property listed for taxation and 90
per cent of the total money in circu
lation.' .
Fate of Man Tried for .

charged with the murder of John
Brzonkowski, July 19, in the Swiatek

terday afternoon.
. Marevitz testified that he had shot
Brzonkowski in self-defense, after
Brzonkowski started beating him up
because he asked him to return $20.

Negro Murderer
Battles Guards
At State Prison
Fire Hose Used to Subdue
Slayer of Robert Taylor
Sentenced to Chair
November 4.
Lincoln. Oct. 11. (Special Tele
gram.) For two hours today James
B. King, negro, under sentence of
death for the murder of Robert Tav
lor, prison guard, held guards at the
state penitentiary at bay with a huge
piece of iron which he had torn from
a washbowl in his cell.
- "The . who comes in
here will go like Taylor- did," he
told guards who stood safely out
side the door ot his cell.
Finally, at the direction of War
den W. T. Fenton, the penitentiary
fire department was called and the
water turned on full force. The
heavy stream playing on the negro
for 10 minutes subdued him and he
put down his club and held up his
hands. .
The trouble started when King
asked if he might write a note to
Warden Fenton. His request was
granted. The note, it is reoorted
was blasphemous in character and
King was relegated to the "hole."
It was in the hole that the mur
derous mood which caused the cold
blooded . murder of Taylor a few
months ago returned to him and he
tore the pipe from the washbowl and
threatened to murder a second man.
King murdered Taylor after a re
port from' the latter had been the
means of sending him to the "hole"
for punishment. ' !

Government Troops
Expect to Overthrow
Rebel Forces in Peru
Buenos Aires, Oct. 11. Dispatches
received here from Lima, Peru, state
that the commander of the govern
ment forces has informed the minis'
ter of war that he is marching against
Iquitos where, he expects to over
throw Captain Cervantes and other
rebel authorities who have been in
power since August 5. . This would
maicate a definite defeat for the rev
olutionists in the battle of Tarapoto
and Yurimaguas near Moyobamba,
which was reported a few days ago.
Turk Nationalists Lose
Heavily in Greeks', Drive
Athens, Oct 11. Greek and Tur
kish nationalist forces have been en
gaged in stern battle along the new
front in Asia Minor, extending tront
Afiun-Karahissar, northward to a
point almost directly east of Brusa
On the southern, end of this line, the
Greeks, says an official statement is
sued here, have won a complete vic
tory, driving the nationalists from
the field and inflicting heavy losses
upon them.
The Man and The Job
The unemployment situation is
not to be solved by sitting still
and doing nothing. That The Bee
has already remarked. ' It is a
time for everyone to do his mite
to keep as many men and women
at work as may be. It is a time
for sacrifice by those fortunate
enough to have jobs to give, a
time for them to employ men and
women if they can even though
they might postpone the, work a
while longer.
The Bee proposes to do its part
Beginning Wednesday and con
tinuing until January 1. The Bee
will publish advertisements by in
dividuals in its classified section
under the headings, ' "Help
Wanted" and "Situations Wanted,"
free of charge. Details of the plan
will be found on the Classified
Advertising page.
This is undertaken in the hope
that it may contribute materially
toward getting the man and the
job together. In a time like this,
when unemployment constitutes a
real problem, there should be no
wastage. If a job exists for a cer
tain type of man or woman, the
person should be found who wants
that job.
Repeal Of

By Unanimous Vote.
Expect Fight on Others
My Tb Aaaaclataa' Tr.
Washington, Oct 11. The repub
lican compromise tax revision pro
gram was started on its way through
the senate today with the adoption,
without a dissenting or record vote.
of an amendment proposing repeal
on next January 1 of the transpor
tation taxes on freight passenger
traffic, Pullman accommodations, ex
press packages and oil by pipe line.
There were increasing evidences in
the senate and behind the scenes.
however, that some other ompro
mise proposal would not hnd as
easy sailing. Replying to an inquiry
trom the democratic side, senator
McCumber of North Dakota an
nounced the compromise amend
ments would not be offered on be
half of the full republican member
ship of the finance committee; that
he was against some of them and
that he and other committeemen re
served the right to appose them.
To Fight Surtax . Rate. H
Senators in the so-called manu
facturers' "bloc," supported by house
leaders, were set. to launch their
fight against the SO per cent maxi
mum income surtax rate amendment
after its introduction. There were
reports that this provision would be
materially altered io the conference
between the house and senate on the
bill. , .
House leaders were understood to
have made it plain they would not
recede from the original house max
imum rate of 32 per cent but some
senators were of the opinion that the
reduction likely to be made by the
conterees would not be as great as
18 per cent. ,
Eastern senators were ready to
wage war on the compromise amend
ment to retain the corDoration cao-
ital stock tax, but sponsors of the
new tax program were confident this
not only would be put through the
senate, but would be retained in con-
lerence, as the house bill did not
proposed repeal of this section of the
existing law.
Democrats Plan Fight
Democrats generally were ' exnerU
ed to support the surtax, estate tax.
capital stock tax, 'corporation ex
emption repeal and other
of the compromise program.. . Some
leaders 'on that side thought the
minority would vote almost solidly
against the bill unless provisions
were made for increased taxes on
corporations and reduced taxes on
individuals having incomes of $15,0OQ
a year or less.
Before adopting the transportation
tax repeal amendment the senate
voted down an amendment propos
ing that the repeal be effective 10

Irish Conference
Gives Way to One
On Unemployment
Meeting on Peace Terms to
Resume Thursday Sessions
Taken Up With Method
Of Procedure.
By Tho AMoctetcd Prn.
London, Oct. 11. British and
Irish delegates to the conference
which aims at settling the future of
Ireland held two two-hour rcssions
today, adjourning after the aitcrnoon
session until Thursday,' in order to
enable Premier Lloyd George
grapple with the unemployment sit
uation. '
Both sessions were business like,
even the greetings of Mr. Lloyd
Ocorge to the visitors being hearty
but formal. The official commun
ques, issued at the conclusion of the
proceedings, do not disclose the sub
lects discussed, but it was under
stood that the method of procedure,
upon which the Sinn Fein delegates
place much importance, occupiea
most of the time.
Both Sides Silent.
. No notes of the speeches and dis
cussions were taken. No stenogra
phers were, present, and both the
British and Sinn Fein delegates mam
tained silence as to what happened,
It was gathered, however, tnat the
conference proceeded along antici
pated lines and that nothing thus far
has occurred to jeopardize its suc
cess. ' -
It is nrobable the question of al
leged, breaches of the truce by potn
sides was taken up, as the British
and Sinu Fein officials are desirious
of having the conference conducted
in an atmosphere of peace. The Irish
delegates were aware of disisatistac
tion on the Dart of the British gov
ernment regarding the alleged
breaches and they had no intention of
janduly stressing that question, but
were anxious tor a mutual under
standing on the matter.
The British authorities also are
irritated over the resumed activities
of the Sinn Fein police , and law
courts in Ireland, which' are carry-
imr on the work of ' punishing
breaches of ordinary law and adjust
ing htieation. Kecruiting lcr tne
Irish reoublican army is another mat
ter to which the government has
taken exception and so long as any
doubt of settlement remains, the gov
ernment will endeavor to secure the
position that each party continue just
as when the truce was aeciareu.
Agreement Expected. .
It is believed both parties can ar
rive at a satisfactory arrangeir.ent in
this regard. The Irish delegates
have no comblaints to make of their
reception by the British cabinet
members. They entered upon the
duties assigned to them by Dail
Eireann with unusually determined
looks, Michael Collins being the only
one with a smile on his lace as ce
entered and left the conterence room
In this he resembles Winston
Snencer Churchill, who alone among
the British delegates seemed to carry
lightly the burden of negotiating.
Arthur Griffith, who, as head of the
Irish delegates, replied to xne
few remarks hv Mr. Llovd George
at the opening of the conference, and
, . , , - T IHnJn nMltinn
WnO must SiaiC liciauua f"'""
throughout the sessions", does not
have the typical Irish fluency of
speech and in both public and pri
vate conversation he is a slow speak
er. But nobody knows tne Sinn
Kein race better than he.
The average Londoner took little
interest in today's sessions, but Irish
residents and Sinn Fein sympathizers
turned out in force to welcome the
Dail delegates and to wish them sue
cess in their negotiations. '' - I

Of Eight to Five.
Three Home Runs Made
By C. O. LOVETT.
ChlraSri Tilhuna-Oniaha ti Iaard Wtra,
New York, Oct. 11. Fighting with
a grim determination, their backs to
the wall, the Giants came from be
hind today and tied the, 1921 world
series count of games won and loot
at three and three. They won by
an 8-5 score, a vigorous scrap that
opened as a free-slugging affairs and
developed into a pitchers' battle in
which jesse Barnes outshone the an
tique Boh Shawkey and gave one of
the finest, if not the most skillful ex
hibitions of the twirk-r's art rising
out of this October's blue ribbon
event of base ball.
The Yanks twice had a comforti
able lead and twice surrendered it ts
Giant batting prowess. The Yankees
pitching inferiority, where its re
serve moundsmcn are concerned, wa
clearly demonstrated and a realiza-
tion of the fact Miller Huggins is
fighting to win a world champ'onship
with but two pitchers of any dfprnd-
ability was brought home to 3S,00!J
fans. .
Batted From Box.
It was the second' time in the iix
games Barnes was called upon to
face the Yankees after Fred Xoney,
the ponderous right-hander, had been
batted from the box. On both oc
casions the American leaguers led 3
to 0 when Barnes went to the mound
and each time the Giants overcame
the handicap and hit in a victory ioC
the tall Oklahoman.
Toney was less effective today
than in his previous start in the third
game of the series. Then he lasted
for two and a third innings; today
he opened with a walk to Chick
Fewster, Babe Ruth's substitute, and
before Barnes was frantically sum
moned to the rescue the Yanks had"
combed the big fellow's fast ones for
three sharp singles, counting three
runs.
Miller Huggins gave his left
hander, Harry Harper, his chance to-(
day, but a walk and home runs by
Irish Meusel and Frank Snyder, fol-
lowed by a single by Barnes, tied the
score in the secoad inning and that
did for the Hacke-pack boy. - Shaw
key went the rest of the route and
lost the game in the fourth, the fatal
inning of more than one world series
of other years.
Giants Regain Lead.
When the Giants had knotted the
run count and driven Harper from
the pitching peak, the Yankees pro
longed their swatting orgy sufficient
ly to take the lead again by two runs,
cn Shawkey's single and Fewster's
circuit clout in the left field
bleachers in the American leaguers'
half of the hectic second frame.
But in the fourth, the Giants
found Shawkey for four singles
which, together with McNally's er
ror, a sacrifice and a stolen base by
Frank Frisch, produced four runa
and won the contest and broucht
f1 the National league champions even
in victories with the title takers of
Johnson and in better position to
triumph in the series than at any
time since the Yankees went ' out
in front in the opening game. A .
defeat today would have all but
eliminated the Giants as world cham
pion contenders this year, for it
would have given the team led by ;
the diminutive Huggins four victo
ries. And with but one more need
ed to establish claim to the title
and Mays and Hoyt to call on to
stifle the Giant assault, the Yanks'
would have been favorites at prohib
itive odds. Tonight, however, it
is another story.
Barnes Tightens Up.
After his second inning Barnesr
pitched wonderful ball, allowing but
two hits and striking out 10 men
in eight and one-third innings. In
so doing he fanned every regular J
in the Yank batting array. Th.w
Yanks' attack, looming so formid
able at the outset despite uth'a
absence, enforced by serious infec
tion of his left arm and a torn ten
don in his right calf, curled up be
fore the powerful sweep of Barne4
hurling wing and the Central asso
ciation and Three-I league graduate,1
denied a place as a starting pitcher
by John McGraw, turned back thef
Yankee batsmen as they had not
been turned back in any- of the pre .
ceding clashes.
Figuratively, at least, the f raH
Fewster fitted snugly into the rug
ged uth's shoes, both afield and
at the bat The Yanks have been
called a one-man ball club in th
sense that it is built about the clout '
ing of Babe Ruth and with precious
little worthy material in the super
structure, but Fewster went far to
day to disproye that theory.
Babe Ruth, with his -arm in 4
sling, saw his successor stand out,
even on the defeated team, as the in t
dividual star of the setto. The Gi
ants showed a fighting spirit that was
not to be denied. On the other hand,
the Yankee's pitching at the outset
was far from the world series cali
ber. What breaks there were fa
vored the Giants and chief among
them was Kelly's hit in the fren
zied fourth, the last safe blow of
the inning, . which scored Frisch
from second and the Giants fourth
marker. It was a seeming harmless
grounder that bobbed along smooth
ly toward the waiting Pipp. Then,
just before it . reached him. the ball
struck a pebble or a ridge of hard
earth and bounded crazily over Pipp't
head.
"Hop" Disastrous.
But for that hop Kelly would havsT
been an easy out at first and th
inning would have ended with th
