Washington, Oct 7. Within tb
rank of tha Bepubliean party, aad
kept ai well behind tha scene at it ia
possible io to do, there ia ioinf oa
a spectacular political battle aa to which
faction of that party ia going to "Con-
trol and dictate tha policies. The Eaat
and the Wett in the Republicaa party
are at grips. The organ iiation Bepub

aire of the Bepubliean party with the
reactionary and atandpat group symbol
Red ia Senator Lodge that ia going on.
' The plana of the reactionairea of the
organization are being akillfully worked
out but it ia to be aeen if they will
be able to upset the plana of the pro
gressives. Harding Makea Mot
The offer Of President Harding to
make Senator Eenyon, of Iowa, a fed
eral judge in Iowa ia regarded here as
one of the moves to accomplish the dis
integration of the "Agricultural Bloc,"
of which Senator Kenyon ia a leading
figure, bat Senator Kenyon declined to
bite. He will remain in the Senate and
will give himself to re-cementing the
break that haa been made ia the group
by the acquiescence of the Senate fin
ance committee to accede to proposals
for changes in the tax bill. The fear
of the organization crowd ia that the
Bepubliean of tha "Agricultural Bloc,"
will throw their force with the Demo
crat and utterly rout the administra
tion fore, and In apparent surrender
to the group in the amendment agreed
upon to be accepted in the tax bill ia
-mad ia effort to disguise that the
surrender ia in reality to the Demo
crate, for the amendment which the
Bepubliean of the Senate finance com
mittee announced today are those which
have been demanded by the Democrat,
and voiced by Senator Simmons last
Friday when he made a full exposure of
the deceit and hypocrisy in the tax re
vision bill offered by the Republicans,
showing that while promisee had been
made ot lift the burdens of taxation
the Bepubliean had offered a bill mere
ly to shift this off the shoulders of the
wealthy corporations and millionaire in
dividuals, and put it on the ahouldert
of the unrage ciifrett and the poor; a
hill filled with injustices and iniquities.
Surrenders to Democrat .
This morning the Republicans of all
ahades were in eonferenc and there! was
a lot of ironing out to he done It is
learned that the administration Repub
licans found themselves up against it
in their efforts to meet the demands of
the western , Republican group, for up
to the very last moment the Ledge and
Penrose faction attempted, to persuade
the westerner that the thing to do
wast to cut to the quick the higher
surtaxes, and end the excess profit
taxes, a propoaition that was flatly re
fused. And then came the heralded
surrender to the Westerners, this in
reaVy a surrender to the Democrats,
lor the amendments to be written into
the bill are those the Democrat have
been fighting to obtain. The organiza
tion Republicans gave way because they
had to do so or in the end lose en
tirely the Western group, and meet de
feat at other point than those involved
. in the tax bill revision. It was the
lavage Democratic attack on the Pea
rose bill which forced the Bepubliean
leaders to accept almost all f Senator
Simmons' Democratic program, but they
are trying to camouflage this surrender
with the pretense that it was to the
Western Republicans. And ao the Pen
ros crowd agrees to the readjustment
of the surtax rates, the increase in
estate tax, the repeal of the transporta
tion taxes, the restoration of the capi
tal stock tax, and the casting out of
com of the ''nuisance" taxes aa called
for on the Democratic program.
The Democrat have taken advan
tage of every opening given by th re
publicans, and have made openings of
their own, their skillful handling of
te sihtuations a they srose bringing
th surrender of the Penrose forces.
Bntler Not Te Fight
There is to be no fight on Gilliam
Grissom made by former Senator
Marion Butler. Be say so himself,
and it is for the .easou that Will am
B. Duncan, of Raleigh, son of the late
K. Carl Duncan, is to b "taken ear
of by the administration, with "some
thing equally a good." Thi will 'cer
tainly be heard of with delight by
Grissom and hi friends, for it dears
the deck for him of many opponents
who wanted first of all to see that
young Duncan landed somewhere and
the best "somewhere" seemed to be the
position of Collector of Internal Reve
nue for North Carolina.

Dr. Brooks Explains Plan Tor
Better Snperrision of Sigh
Schools of State By Co-oper-ation
of The Colleges; Much
Opposition To Tree Tuition
Scholarships
Greensboro, Oct. T. BpraUtls
of rrr inatitstioa of higher learning
in North Carolina gathered her this
afternoon for a discussion of the prob
lema of the eollese of the Stat and
tonight heard a general ontlin of Dr.
E. C. BrookC latest plan ror in ad
vancement aad supervision of high
schools.
Ths meeting thi afternoon was prey
sided oer by the president, Raymond
Binford, of Guilford College, and was
given over to general discussion o.
topic pertinent to the college. To
night' meeting wa in "charge of Dr
Brook aad was the most important
development of the conference.
Dr. Brooks Speak.
Ia opening the evening meeting, Dr,
Brook declared that for some time ho
ha been vuxcled to solve th problem
of satisfactory and efficient supervision
of th high schools by t-j State De
partment of Education with the limit
ed number of men it is able to employ.
Then th plan, new in the annals of
North Carolina and probably new in
the annals of education in the United
States, waa anmnneed.
Preta New Plan.
As briefly outlined by Prof. J. Henry
Highsmith, inspector of State high
schools, the plan provides for the co
operation of the colleges of the State
in th supervision of the high schools
to the fullest extent. Eleven colleges
designated by the Department of
Education with th unanimous approval
of the college, wjll through their de
partment of education, hnvo supervision
of th schools in their vicinity and for
a radius of at least 100 miles.
A professor from the Deprtment of
Education in the eollege will without
pay by the State,' inspect the high
school in his district, relieving the one
Stats inspector from the duty in his
vicinity. With eleven colleges reaay
to take ever ths high echoed in their
district Dr. Brooks figure tT thf
Stat department will be relieved of
supervision of the schools in about
thirty-five counties. More colleges will
be given a chance to supervise schools
as they wish. ,
Dr. Brooks declared that nothing had
been said of tne proposition until to
night, as he wished to make sure that
there would be no hitch in the program
before making it known.
After Professor Highsmith had out
lined the details of the plan, Profes
sor A. T. Allen, director of teacher
training, delivered a talk, followed by a
Meets With Approval
genersl discussion.
Dr. Brook's plan appeared to meet
with approval of the college presidents
gathered here.
This afternoon the principal mat
ter brought out in the discussion was
the opposition of a large number of
presidents to the free tuition scholar
ship. Dr. W. P. Few, Dr. Howard
Rondthaler, Dr. Charles E. Brewer,
aud many others were in favor of North
Carolina colleges abolishing scholar
ships and letting every student pay.
Action will be taken tomorrow.
The conference will be in session
again tomorrow morning and a live
discussion of several issues is ex
pected.

15 per cent on corporation incomes and
increased exemptions for heads of fami-
4 lie and on account of dependants.
As T Corporations
While repeal of the ?2ii exemption
allowed corporations is not included
in the program as announced, leaders
were endeavoring tonight to work out
a plan which would protect small cor
porations and at the same time remove
the exemption from large corporations.
The suggestion meeting with the most
favor was to allow the exemption in
the caso of corporations having net in
comes of less than 20,l0 or $ir),00n.
Opposition to the proposed increase
in the surtax rates developed today
among a group of S.smtors fro Eastern

increasing the surtax rste beyond the
32 per cent maximum fixed in the bill

leaders.
In making public the proposed Sen
ate amendments, Senator Penrose said
they were offered by certain Senators

constituting radical . innovations dis
turbing the structure of the committee
measure, the finauce committee chair
man said many of them were in no way
objectionable to him.

Goes To Other Points To Ge
Evidence To Refute Charges
Against Him
Asheville, Oct. 7. Dr. Livingston '
Mays, secretary of the Southern Bap
tist Assembly at Ridgeerest, left Ash
ville Thursday for Southern points,
where, it ia understood, he will gatho
affidavits and documents to rcfut
cnarges made against him in tin ap
peal for clemency of J. T. Harris; con
victed slayer of W. T. Monnish, wealthy
Alabama churchman. Io order to in
vestigate the charges against Dr. May
in a fair and impartial manner anil
substantiate same, if they were true o
drop them if they were untrue, the as
sembly officials recently appointed
board of prominent Baptists to act as
a council of inquiry in the matter.
A number of Baptists in Ashevill
are Inclined to believe that Dr. May
will be able to clear himself of a
charges, but council members hav
stated that detailed testimony will
required and all evidence must be over
whelming. The memlxrs are havin
copiea made of all evidence produced
at the hearing before Governor Morr
son and Dr. Mays will have to answe
every detailed charge made.
It is said the council will meet aga
in about tno weeks at a place to I
.inn. mi eei I later. It is undi rstoml that
the hearing will be continued at Spart
;iiil';irK, .1. I. It is stated that oue o
the charges yet to be cleared ia that
of immoral conduct with a schoo
teacher in Eldorado, Arkansas. D
Mays alleged that the charges agains
him were made by the teacher afte
he had demanded her removal from
the school and were prompted through
a desire for revenge. It is undcrstoo
'hat Dr. Mays will also gather affida
vits in this case and will present them
when the hearing convenes.
Coosi'lerable interest is being shown
as to the outcome, which will decide
whether or not Dr. Mays will continue
as secretary of the assembly or be
ousted from that position.
It has been stated that if the charges
against Dr, Mays are untrue be will be
cloarcd in the eyes of the public and
will remain as secretary of the assembly
but if he is unable to prove all of them
untrue he will probably be relieved of
his present position.

New York, Oct. 7. (By the
Associated Press) The Gianta
awoke from their two days'
lethargry today and sprinkled
the greensward at the Polo
Grounds with such a shower
of hits that the Yankees were
swamped under a score of 13
to 5 in the third game of the
World JSeries.
The National Leaguers had
gone runless for twenty in
nings up to the third session of
this afternoon's struggle. Then
the outbreak of hitting started.
Steal Yankees' Thander
Stealing the Yankees' thunder, ss ths
latter had stolen thnirs in the previous
games of tho scries ia speed and daring
on the bases, John McOaw s mea af
ter spotting their American League op
ponents to a four run lead, promptly
cancelled this advantage, driving Bob
Hhawkey, who had started for Miller
nuggins' team, off the mound in the
third inning. Then, after the score had
run along in a tie for three more in
nings, they broke out with aa orgy
of hrttrrtg-gfatnrt second string Yan
ke pitchers in the traditional ''lucky
seventh" inning, putting over eight runs
in this chapter and piling np a toUl
of thirteen runs and twenty hits in
their eight innings at the bat.
Was Thrilling Game
Despite its ono sidedncss, th gams
was of the sort that tickles the fancy
of the average baseball crowd, and to
day's throng, despite the partisan lean
ings of a goodly portion of it, wa no
exception. The game was full of thrills,
brilliant catches, daring base running,
and, on the Giant side, long distance
hitting.
The crowd, with perfect baseball
weather to bring it out, was a record
breaker for this series. More than 38,
o"0 fans jammed the stands and bleach
ers. Thay broke the series record for
noise and enthusiasm, as well. The turn
of the Yankee adherents cam first, but
tho hubbub they kicked np wru ss noth
ing to that lot lose by the Uiant fans
when opportunity arrived.
Giant Rootera on Job
With the McGraw cbn riding rough
shod over their opponents, the National
league partisans unlimbered their vocal
cords their cowbell and rattles, hsre
tofore subdiird. and played the game as
hard from tlyir seats as their favorites
did on tho diamond. At times whole
sections of the stands seemed to be com
posed of seething waves of yelling hu
manity. The Yankeo supporters were
dumb after the third inning and the
close of the conflict became a Giant
carnival.
The Yankee fielders tood up veil
under the boiiilurJmcnt of hits and in
cidentally turned in some notable de
fensive feats. One of thes was a jump
ing catch in the second inning by Aaron
Ward, the Yankee second sacker, which
resulted in a double play.
Burns A Featnre
It was George llurus, the Giant s
center fielder, however, who turned jn
tho most remarkable feat of tin game
and also of the series. In the seventh
inning he started back with the track
of I'itcher Quinn's bat againsVtthe ball
and while still on the run hauled down
the drivo over his shoulder, close to the
center field fence. It was a marvolous
piece of fielding and it drew a biff
demonstration from the crowd.
All the Giants, with the exception
of Toney and Kelly, figured in the hit
ting. Toney was taken from the gam
before he had a chance to bat. Burn
and Snyder divided the batting honors,
each making four hits. Burns' hitting
included a double and a triple. Young
had a double mid a triple, whilo ''Irish"
Mensel bad tuu singles and a double.
Colorless Day for Both.
Babe Ruth had another colorless day
compared with some of his work
during the season's campaign.
In four trips to the plato he
struck out twice, iuarle a single
which seored to Yankeo runs and
drew a base on balls. He left the
gams in the eighth inning, after hs
had rsceved a base on balls, Fenster
running for him and scoring at run. If
was said the "Home Run King" was
suffering from an infected arm. In
the fielding side he had one chance,
capturing Bancroft's sacrifice fly.
The gam, which ended so lopsidedly,
started out as if it might be another
one like th pitcher's battle of ye' ,
Urdy. Toney, who started for th
Giants, breezed along comfortably for
two innings. The Yankees got to him
in ths third, bowover, and be was taken
out with 'tBrtaaw full, r hobs -ovfy and -three
ran in. Another run was score!
