Take Dnubert. captain of the Cincinnati National League baseball team, died here today. Death came after a valiant fight against com plications which set in following an op rimthwr ..

Daubert’s condition first became ag grevated on the last eastern trip of the Reds when he was taken ill in New York Manager Jack Hendricks sent him to his home in Schuylkill Haven, Pa., and his sudden departure led to reports that Dau bert would be engaged to manage a min or league club. He remained at home several days and then came on to Cincinnati and played in the last game of the season on Septem ber 27th. His physician said that Dau bert disregarded his advice in returning to the lineup. Later Daubert remarked to the doctor that it probably was his last game in the major league and he did nqt want" “people to think Jake Daubert was a staller.” Jacob Ellsworth Daubert was born April 17th, 1885, at Shamokin, Pa. He started his baseball career in 1906. THE COTTON MARKET Opened Today at Decline of 15 to 20 Points Under Continued Selling. (By the Associated Press.)

(Br Ike Asaoelateit I’rnwi Chicago, Oct. 9.—William Bell, 33- year-old negro, was beaten to death in the Jewish quarter here* last night by 200 men and boys; attracted by the screams of two. young white women who said Bell had accosted them. Police reserves seized twenty personß in dispersing the crowd, but realeased nil except Otto Epstein, a sacramental wine deafer, whom they accused bf having struck Bell with a baseball bat. Ep stein denied the accusation, asserting that! it was he who summoned police. After a perfunctory examination today Epstein was held for further examination. Several hundred policemen patrolled the district today and ’it was stated no recurrence of trouble was expected, al though it was said race feeling was rnn ing high recently because of an influx of negroes into a section previously large ly poifiilated by white foreigners. Epstean was accused by George Bell, brother of the negro, and another negro of an unprovoked assault, although Miss Bettie Greenblatt, an 18-year-old stenog rapher, told the police that Bel! had spoken to her and had been repulsed and then had seized her by the arm and at tempted to pull her across the street. Her statement was corroborated by her eotn panion, Miss . Bertha Deutsch, 21 years old.

To Elect Thirty-four Senators. Washington, D. C„ Oct. 9.—Terms of 32 of tiie 96 senators expire next March. Counting the extra senator to be chosen in Colorado and the one to be named in Rhode Island to fill out the unexpired term of the late Senator Colt makes 34 senators in all who will be elexted next month. In a number of the atate, par ticularly in the northwest.’ the senatorial contests have been complicated by the j candidacies of third party men and in- , dependents. In South Dakota, for ex- i ample, there are five independents in the j race, in addition to she nominees of the ] Republican, Democratic, and Farmer- i Labor parties. In Minnesota Magnus Johnson, the sole representative of the ( Farmer Labor party in the upper house i at present, is running for re-electiond J and is opposed by Thomas D. Schall, , the blind ex-congressman, on the Repub- i lican ticket, and John J. Farrell, t the ' Democratic nominee. In lowa, Sfiiith W. Brookhirt, Republican candidate for re-election, has as his opponents Daniel F. Steck, Democrat, and Luther A. Brewer, Independent. In other states there are independent candidates, but they are .not expected to figure promi nently in the results. In most of the southern states the Democratic nominees, as usual, are vir tually without opposition and are as sured of re-election. These include Thomas J. Heflin, Alabama; Joseph T. Robinson, Arkansas; Joseph E. Rans dell, Louisiana; William J. Harris, Georgia; Cole Blease, South Carolina, and Pat Harrison, Mississippi. Charlotte Speedway to Be Ready Satur day. Charlotte, Oct.

A. W. McLean, Democratic, can didate for governor* his support to sane doctrines of State government and denied charges ;‘of his political op ponent. Colonel I.

Mr. I McLean spoke at noon before the loca’. ’ Rotary Club. Mr. MeLean said that lie had enter tained the very ardent hope that the Republican candidate'for governor would see the error he was making in repeating his attack on the State banks and de sist, but that this hope had vanished as he read the report of the Gastonia speech yesterday morning,, in which the 'Re publican candidate, following up his at tack. said; “There are 520 State banks in North Carolina today, and 225 of these, ought to be shut up. They are being man aged by men whom God Almighty never intended to ~be bankers.” “If that is the leadership that the Re publican party offers the liate," Mr. Mo- Lean said, “mfly the good Lord deliver us. So we have at ISst the only definite proposal of the Republican candidae if he is elected governor is to close up 235 State banks, without regard to their con dition or the need for such banks in the communities in which tjiey operate.” Mr. McLean then described the inti-, mate relationship which exists between maay of the small State hanks in the towns and the service to Jhe people in etitHe towns* He said tliai'a well. man *W>L.o* irtot\u«<lBfe.; that many of-fhe best and safest hanks in the state have small capital) >“Tn view of the record of bank failures in other state and in the nation as a whole, I believe that any fair-minded man will say thaf there is no just cause for the wholesale attack which the Re publican candidate is making upon the State banks of North Carolina, which is eivdently made not byway of, construc tive criticism, but for purely partisan political purposes. I again repeat that this ettack may be productive of great harm to the people of this State, and I appeal to the Republican candidate to cease these attacks before further harm is done. “If he lias any regard for the welfare of the State I ask him to give this mat ter serious consideration and to eonstilti with spine reputable and' experienced Re-, publicans who are in the banking busi ness, any one of whom I confidently be lieve would tell him that he is pur suing a course that cannot bring any good results, and which may be the cause of infinite damage.” Mr. McLean described the constructive record of' the Democratic party for the I>ast twenty-five years in building a bet ter commonwealth, mentioning some of its most conspicuous achievements in re spect to education, health work, the care of the afflicted, highway construction and the other progressive things that have been done under the Democratic armin istration from Aycock to Morrison, in-] OOOOOOOGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO u. kM.

He then contrasted the lack of any record of achievement of the Republican party, and finally he appealed to his hearers, many of whom were Republi cans, to take a militant, part in uphold ing the hands of the Democratic party and its leadership in reaching the goal which, he said, he coveted for North Carolina—that of making ft the best governed, the most prosperous and the most contented state in the republic. He characterized the. attacks which the present Republican leaders in the State are making upon the Democratic party as “pirayunish,.” unpatriotic and destructive in tendency. After describ ing some of !!ie other points of criticism, lie referred to “the attack of the Re publican candidate upon the supervision of State banks. Mr. McLean said: ' “The Republican candidate for gov ernor has charged the corporation com mission with negligence and inefficiency in the supervision of State banks. In proof of this contention he says there have been thirty bank failures in’ five years, or an average of si,x per year He urged this as cue reason why the Democratic party has shown its incom petency to run tlie State government, and days that the only remedy is to sub stitute the Republican party for the Dem ocratic party in the conduct of State government. “In answer to this suggestion let us ;ee what the Republican party lias been able to do to prevent bank failures in places where it lias control of govern ment. In the last three years of the Wjlson administration there were only 189 bank failures, State and national, with 72 million dollars total resources in the United States as a whole, while in the last three years of the Republi can administration there huve been 1,221 bank failures with resources of 447 mil lion * dollars, in the United States. “During the eight years of the Wil son administration there were only 20 bank failures in North Carolina, and in three months of this Republican ad ministration there have been more than twice as many bank failures in one Republican state as there were in North Carolina in these entire eight years. There were 41 bAnk failures in South Dakota in the first three months of this year, or at the rate of 164 per annum. How is that for Republican supervi- SionV •t “ASefeorUing to the report recently i»- • yurtH hji*, Henry M, Dawes. of the Currency, who is, by" the way, a brother of Vice Presidential Oandieate Charles G. Dawes, there were more bank failures in the finst three years of this Republican administration than in the entire period of 20 years preceding. “A large majority of these failures were in the agricultural states which have felt the full weight, of the agri cultural depression, according to Mr. Dawes. “If bank failures are due (as the Re- candidate for governor con tends) to laxity in supervision, which I deny, what can he say for the unprece dented record in bank failures in the Republican State of South Dakota, or in the United States as a whole during the first three years of this Republican | administration? Suggestions Offered. “Having had experience as the head of a country bank since I was 26 years old, I would like to make two sugges tions to the Republican candidate; “The real reason for the unusual num ber of bank failures in the country un der the Republican administration, un paralleled ill the history of the country, is not due, as he suggests, to lack of proper supervision of either State or federal authorises, but to the bankrupt cy of about 600,000 farmers and live stock producers in the United* States, particularly in the wheat and eattle pro ■ 1 (Continued on Page Three.)

AUTO MOBILE EXHAUSTS ARE PROVING MENACE More People Die From Poisoning From This Source in New York Than Any where Else. New York. Oct. B.—Poisonous gases now are a greater menace in peace than in war and more peop'e die from carbon monoxide poison in New York than anywhere else in the world Prof. Yandell' Henderson, of Yale university, today toid the national association of police and fire surgeons in a national '•(invention. Vertical exhaust pipes on all ■ motor vehicles would remedy this situation. Professor Henderson said, ns they would direct the gases upward and "out of the level of the air we breathe.” Dr. Charles Morris, chief meuieal ad visor of this city, announced , tihat only deaths from vehicular accidents ex ceeded those of monoxide poisonings in cluding accidental and suicide asphyxia tion. He estimated that an automobile contaminates a volume of air equivalent lo its width and height and 100 to 200 yards in length each minute. He told of taking air samples on Fitrti avenue which showed a high percentage of monoxide. Safety Devices on Charlotte Speedway. Charlotte, Oct. ft. —Prediction that the Charlotte automobile speedway, now near ing compeltion, will be equipped with better safety devices than any other board speedway in America, was made here this week by Richard Kennerdell, of Franklin, Pa., chairman of the com test board of the American Automobile : further’that lie will stipulate that many of tlfe Char lotte safety measures be adopted on other board tracks. Perhaps the most not able of these is the steel bind that is being fastened to the top guard rail, tilted at an angle so it will fend and deflect any racing car out of control that may dash to the top of the vola and try to smash through the rail. Furthermore, a new kind of heavy wire fence is beings constructed on the infield to protect spectators, should a car dash to the speedway apron headed to wards the infield. The Charlotte speedway grandstands are being constructed farther from the straightaways than any grandstands at other board tracks. This is another pre caution in the event of an a'eeident near the stands. The banks at the turns are tilted to 40 degrees to prevent possible skidding after the facing ears leave the straightaways. Mr. Kennerdell has been chairman of the contest board of the American Au tomobile Association for twelve years, and he states that in all that time not a single spectator has ever been killed at an automobile race held under the rules and with the sanction of* his or ganization. The Charlotte races on Oc tober 25th will be staged under A. A. A. rules and sanction. Barret Issues Warning. Charlotte, Oct.
