UETROIT. Mich., Oct. lO.-The chances
of playing the third same of the world'!
championship aeries between Pittsburg and
Detroit hero tomorrow are extremely
'doubtful, because of a heavy rain that
began shortly after noon and continued
without intermission for hour. According
to the local forecaster, the rain will con
tinue ateadlly all night and possibly all
day tomorrow. The rain may be steady
tomorrow or may come In showers and
there will be brisk winds to accompany It.
Wlilla the Infield at Bennett park In
protected by an Immense tarpaulin and
a game may be possible If the rain stops
tomorrow morning, there Is little likelihood
of Its being played. This will put the
Detroit games over until Tuesday and
Woesday and will delay' the next game
atl ttsburg until Thursday.
A the rain Is said to be general over
the country, there Is also a chance that
the stay In Detroit may be prolonged be
yond even Wednesday.
The Pittsburg and Detroit teams arrived
here today on the National commission's
special train. Manager Clarke of Pitts
burg derided to bring his champions over
last night Instead of waiting until this
morning, as he originally intended. The
nttsburg headquarters were established
at the Pontchartraln hotel. The majority
of the Pittsburg supporters will not ar
rive until tomorrow morning, but there Is
a sprinkling of them here now.
Detroit's Hopes nan High.
ine uetrolt team arrived at an early
hour, but there were some enthusiasts on
hand to give Jennings and his men a few
oheers as they drove through the streets
In automobiles. Jennings wore a happy
smile and there was a general air of con
fidence among the Detroit players. Their
decisive defeat of Pittsburg Saturday has
causod a marked rise In their hopes, as
they are certain Summers and Mullln will
win their games.
ll mere is a game tomorrow the De
troit cnalre ot-pitchers .will probably lie
between Mulllii anal Hummers. If It la
a dark day Jennings will likely use Mul
lin because of the veteran's great spend,
which will be doubly effective In the
darkness. Bummers may be given a chance
if the conditions are more favorable, as
he warmed up In excellent' shape before
Saturdays game when Jennings chose
Donovan,
manager wiai'Ke. rerusea to make any
prediction as to his selection of a twlrler,
but he Intimated that his choice would
probably be between Aditma and Maddox.
The youngster from the American associa
tion did so well In the opening battle that
there Is a good chance he may be sent
back. Great Interest will be added to the
game If the two pitchers who did such
excellent work In the opening game were
sent In.
The return of the Iwo teams,' each with
a victory to Its credit, has aroused the
Interest here to a fever heat. Predictions
are being made freely that the crowd at
the first game here will beat all records
for world's series In this city. All the
reserved seats were sold soon after the
sale opened and thousands have been un
Vl'le to get them.
,Ttie' National commission la scheduled
to hold a meeting here tomorrow and It
Is expected soma action will be taken on
the Murphy-Pfeffer case. The commis
sion has twice postponed action on this
case, but It is likely It will be setttled to
morrow. HEADING OFF FATAL ACCIDENTS
Concerted Effort to Stop Practice of
"Ages nasal nv( on Railroad
Property.
CHICAOO, Oct 10. Following the re
markable record made last year by at
least half a dosen of the largeet railroad
systems In the country In not killing a
alngle passenger, five state railroad com
missions and several of the railwayano
tably the Pennsylvsnla. have Instituted a
vigorous campaign against trespaaslng on
railroad property.
The commissions Interested In the move
ment are those of Illinois. Indiana. Wis
consin, Michigan and Ohio, and It was an
nounced here today that In all these states
more rigid laws will be urged against
stealing rides on trains and trespassing
cn railroad property.
The state commissioners have statistics
showing that In ten years a total of 47.411
persons who were trespassers on railroad
property were killed by trains.
The killed were tramps and men using
railroad tracks as thoroughfares.

CRANE MAY NOT
GO TO PEKING
Reason for His Sudden Eecall on
Ere of Sailing Has Leaked
Out.
CHARGE OF BEING INDISCREET
Paper Prints Confidential Matter Re
garding Position of Government.
THOUGHT TO COME FROM CRANE
Conference with Secretary Knox Will
Settle His Status.
MINISTER IS NONCOMMITTAL
Arrival at Washington States He
Does Not Know Why He Waa
Summoned to the
Capital.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Charles R.
Crane's sudden, unexpected and hitherto
mysterious recall to Washington by Secre
tary of State Knox, as he was at the point
of sailing from Pan Francisco to assume
his duties as minister of the United States
to China, was occasioned by developments
Involving the question of Mr. Crane's fit
ness for that post. This much Is known
tonight In well Informed quarters In Wash
ington. Unless Mr. Crane Is able to clear
himself In the eyes of Secretary Knox of
an accusation of a serious breach of what
the State department regards as the first
principle of diplomatic discretion- the con
ference with his official chief may result
In the abrupt termination of Mr. Crane's
connection with the diplomatic service.
Minister Crane arrived in Washington
late this afternoon from his hurried Journey
across the continent, reiterating his declar
atlon of Ignorance as to the' occasion for
his rather dramatic call from the waters'
edge of the Pacific, and declined to discuss
the matter In any of Its aspects, beyond
saying that while he expected to be here
several days, he had reserved new accom
modations for the transpacific voyage on
the steamer sailing from San l-'ranclsco on
October 20, a week from next Wednesday.
The State department has In hand. It Is
raid, what It regards as more or less con
vincing evidence that Minister Crane, on
the eve of his departure for the far east,
became responsible for the publication In
a Chicago newspaper of what the depart
ment views as a most Indiscreet discussion
of the attitude of the United States toward
the . two treaties recently negotiated be
tween China and Japan. This the depart
ment holds to havo been the more serious
because that attitude Is still under con
fidential consideration, no decision having
been arrived at.
What Tronble la Abont.
While the speeches delivered by Mr.
Crane before the American Asiatic asso
ciation and at a dinner given In his honor
at Chicago, are viewed at the State de
partment as having been at best, unwise
and undiplomatic, they had been carefully
considered after their delivery and before
Mr. Crane started for San Francisco, and
although deprecated were not regarded
as Justifying any change In his plans.
The Chicago publication falls, however,
In the eyes of the department. Into a cate
gory very different and far more serious.
China and Japan early last month en
tered Into treaties which contained pro
visions regarded by the State department
as very surprising and posslMy objection
able to this government. By these treaties
Japan would secure tights In Manchuria
which are held by some diplomats to be In
direct violation of both the letter and
spirit of the Portsmouth treaty. China has
agreed In the treaties now under consider
ation, that before extending the present
railway system In Manchuria, It shall con
sult Japan, and, presumably, obtain Its
consent thereto. This provision Is regarded
as Inharmonious with the declaration of
Japan In the treaty of Portsmouth that it
will not obstruct any measures taken by
China for the development of Its empire.
Violate Open Door.
Another provision relating to the opera
tion of coal mines on both sides of the
Antung-Mukden and South Manchurlan
railway, It is thought, may be objectlon-
-K1 . . ., t ' ...
t " v of h- ,.?vernm1ent .." V olat,n '
! ' "Pn door " '"''ted
, by the United States and subscribed to by
Japan as well as by all of the leading
powers of Europe. This "open door policy"
is Intended to assure "equal opportunities"
to all nations to assist In the development
of China without Impairing Its territorial
Integrity. '
Matters of a highly confidential nature
with respect to the position of the United
States regarding these and other provisions
of the treaties between China and Japan
are alleged to have been divulged In the
Chicago publication and for these dis
closures the State department is disposed
In the absence of proof to the contrary,
to hold Minister Crane responsible. Accord
ing to authentic Information obtained here
today, ' Mr. Crane has been summoned to
Washington from San Francisco to explain
his reported statements.
The officials of the State department are
extremely reticent on the whole subject,
most of them affecting entire Ignorance of
It, and all referring inquirers to Secretary
Kncx. who. up to a late hour tonight was
Ir accessible. Meanwhile tomorrow's de
velopments are awaited with an Interest
which may fairly be described as Intense.
Crane Sees Knoa.
Late tonight It became known that dur
ing the evening Mr. Crane had had a
"preliminary conference" with Secretary
Knox and Henry M. Hoyt, special counsel
to the secretary.

TAMMANY TURNS SEW TRICK
Captures the Name and Emblem of
the New Hearst Party.
LATTER IS NOT DISCONCERTED
His Campaign Manaarer Says Neither
Name Nor Emblem la Material
to His Candidacy for the
Mayoralty.
NEW YORK. Oct. 10. Already enlivened
by two Tammany tickets and the re-
entrance of William Randolph Hearst as
candidate for mayor, the local political
campaign will be marked with a crescendo
this week which will be maintained until
the grand finals on election day, Novem
ber 1
The speechmaklng. whidi began last
week with democratic and republican rati
fication meetings, will become general to
morrow 'night, when Hearst will appear
before a raasa , meeting . In . Caroegle hall
to formally accept' the., nomination of his
new party and to outline the platform upon
which he will make the race.
The latest "Issue" of the campaign Is
Tammany's kidnaping or attempted ab
duction, at least, of the title,, "civic al
liance," and th! emblems thereof consti
tuting the new pnrty designation under
which the Independents had rallied to the
support of Heurst. As a result of this
move, the democratic ticket may appear
under the emblems of three different
parties on the official ballot, the straight
democratic, the old Independence league,
recently captured at the primaries, and
lastly, the new civic alliance. While Hearst
may yet qualify under an altogether new
party name, the coup. If successful, ulti
mately w-lll give Tammany a 3 to 1 ad
vantage In the matter of publicity on the
ballot and will doubtless cause some con
fusion to voters In the Tiger's Interest.
The final retention of the "civic alliance"
as a Tammany title, however. Is a legal
question which must be settled this week.
MoC'nrren Tnrns Trick.
For this latest plan to disconcert the
Hearst followcts. Charles F. Murphy, the
Tammany leader, has to thank State
Senator Patrick H. McCarren, the demo
cratic leader of Rrooklyn. It was while
the promoters of Hearst's candidacy were
getting signatures to put their ticket In
the field under the name of "civic al
liance," that the Rrooklyn senator, accord
ing to reports, hod his lieutenants at work
on a similar document, except that demo
cratic candidates were substituted for the
Hearst ticket.
Just before 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon
three of McCarren's men rushed Into Ue
offlco of the president of the board of
elections In New York and unfolded a
petition by "Independent voters." who had
adopted the name of "civic alliance," but
who named the democratic candidates.
Nineteen minutes later a Hearst lieu
tenant also appeared with a petition, name
and emblem of the civic alliance.
Since neither petition had more than
fifty signatures they were not complete,
for the law requires 2.0U0 names. In case
both the McCarrenltes and the Hearst fol
lowers complete the list of names, It Is a
case for the Hoard of Elections to decide.
Charles K. Gehrlng, who Is Hearst's po
litical manager, said he w&a not at all put
out by the scheme. He was positive that
Hearst's rights had been fully protected by
the filing of name and emblem with the
Sfcretary of state at Albany on Friday.
Hearst's representatives will appear to
morrow before the Board of Klectlons tu
protest formally, and It Is said they will
carry the case to the courts, If necesnary.
"Anyway," said Mr. Gehrlng, "It won't

Indian Race is
Not on Decline
in This Country
Statistics Show There Are Forty
Thousand More Than Two
Decades Ago.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10-The popular Idea
that the American Indians arc decreasing
In number Is dissipated by official figures
showing that today there are more than
300.000 red men In the United States.
The Increase In population of about 40,000
during the last two decades Is attributed
to the government's constant effort to up
lift the Indian to the level of contemporary
civilization. Three and one-third million
dollars Is being expended by the United
States annually for the education of more
than 30,000 Indian boys and girls.
To encourage the Industry of the Indian,
the government has found feasible the
plan to cut down the number of approved
leases on mllan .allotments, and thousands
of Indians have become competent to con
duct their own affairs free from .govern
mental aid. During the present year' the
'eases approved numbered about 1,000 less
than during 190S. During 13OT about 1.000
Indians were given the privilege of, hold
ing their own allotments, although the
legal title was retained by the government.
Tubllc men whose work has brought them
Into close touch with the Indians are Im
pressed with the view that the race is pro
gressing so rapidly, that eventually the
gox-ernment will lift Its guardianship over
them. Before his retirement from office,
former Indian Commissioner Leupp as
serted that the Indians at no far distant
date would reach such a standard of civil
ization that It would be deemed wlBe to
abolish the Indian office. .

FRESNO. Cel.. Oct. 10.-Fiom the snow
capped Sierras yesterday President Taft
plunged today Into the summer heat of
the Snn Joaquin valley and arrived here
shortly after 3 p. m. with the thermometer
hovering about the nineties. He was
greeted by the entire population of the
city and surrounding country snd after
a short automobile trip through the busi
ness section, addressed a gathering of
many thousands In the court house square.
The president's speech was in reality
another Sunday sermon, the third he has
prenchod since his trip began. His text,
quoted from memory, was "He who con
ciuereth himself Is greater than he who
taketh a city," and from It the president
drew the lesson that popular government
must always be - a failure unless It Is
based upon sound common sense and the
belief In restraint that oges to make the
good loser. He drew an analogy between
the American people In this respect and
those who In their attempt at self-government
follow an election with a revolution.
On his way here President Taft stopped
at Merced for three houra and attended
morning service at tho Presbyterian
church.
His greeting at Fresno came from prob
ably the most cosmoiKilltim community he

that lined the sidewalks v.as a comming
ling of Chinese, Japanese, Armenlnns, Por
tuguese and a dozen other nationalities.
In fact. It waa told to the president that

nationalities are represented. One-half of
the Armenians of the entire community

peoples of the world who follow the sun.

ored chief of a great nation which we are
glad Is on the friendliest terms with ours,
and wo ulso rejoice that our beloved coun
try, Japan, has the honor and great privi
lege of recrlprocating such fraternal re
gards. The president left here at 6:20 p. m. for
Los Angeles. Ho stopped at Bakersfteld
tonight for a few minutes to make a car
end address.
Mr. Taft was a little stiff from his long
mountain walk of yesterday, but declared
he would like to have a similar experience
every day.
The meeting held In the court house
square was arranged by the Ministerial as
sociation of Fresno, and nearly all of tha
churches of the city were represented. The
president spoke for the first time since last
Wednesday noon. He was Introduced by
Mayor Howell, and aald, In part:
Forced to Torn Preacher.
"It has nol been my part until I began
this trip. In religious exercises, to do other
than form one of the audience; but I hav
found It impossible under the urgency of
the ministers of the gospel who occasion
ally desire a lay substitute to keep from
taking their place and attempting to preach
a sermon. ,
"I want to say first, with respect to this
audience, that the presence of the veterans
of the civil war is always a great Inspira
tion to higher thoughts, to higher moral
standards and to everything that goes to
make our country worth living for.
"There Is a text, I don't know that I can
quote It exactly, but to these gentlemen
before me who have taken part In the bat
tles of the war It will come by reason of
Its comparison, with great significance: 'He
that conquereth himself Is greater than he
who taketh a city.'
"Now, the homely application to the in
dividual of that text I need hardly to point.
There are so many Instances In little things.
I like to dwell upon the importance of
little things In life, for life Is not made up
of one great series of grandstand plays.
It Is made up of the little things that go
either to make others happy or to make
them unhappy.
"It Is the conduct of the husband as he
comes home from a tiresome day, In re
drawing himself when he Is met by his
eager, curious wife, who wants to know
how he has been living during the day
and what haa happened. Perhaps some
thing has happened thru does not please
him or that he does not like to refer to
and he cuts her off with a short answer.
Oh, I know It, and so do you. You have
done It. So have I Now. It Is the over
coming of that disposition, the keeping
constantly In your mind and heart her
happiness and yet your comfort and your
disposition. That is what makes you
greater than taking a city.
Liberty Menna to an End.
"But I am supposed to look at things
from a polltlral and governmental stand
point, and the text applies to ms more
strongly In that regard. I think we fre
quently mistake ends for means. We talk
about liberty as something to be accom
plished as sn end. We think of popular
government as something to bs accom
plished as an end. Well, neither Is true.
Liberty is a means In the pursuit of hap
plnefs. Popular government we have be
cause we believe In the long run that It
gives the best government, that It Is the
government that makes most people happy,
"Rut you cannot run a popular govern
ment merely by calling It no. You have got
to have some means of determining what
shall dlrei t ths course of government; mhat
shall decide; what Is the majority. I don't
know any other msthod In popular gov
