The Church and Temperance Toronto, Ont, Oct. 16. "The church and Temperance" was discussed at yesterday's session of the Ecumeni cal Methodist Conference in this city. Encouragement was expressed by workers from several countries, in cluding the United States and Cana da, at the successes of recent con certed efforts to eradicate, or at lease abate, various forms of intem perance. It was pointed out, however, that the evils wrought by drink are still so widespread and so enervating to nations as to make the temperance problem dominant in importance. "Only the people's will can bring enforcement of liquor laws," said the Rev. J. Alfred Sharp, of London Eng. "The people must be wooed and won. If they are not the laws will not be enforced when we get them." In the multiplicity of clubs the Rev. George R. Wedgewood f Bel fast, Ireland, found a great peril. "There should not be one law for the saloon and another. for the club." he said. "It is the duty of govern ments municipalities and churches to grapple with the social cause which makes men drunkards." He also said that according to his bservation, fewer women drink now than a decade ago. The Rev. P. S. Baker of Wester vffle, Ohio, superintendent of the Na tional Anti-Saloori League said: "Every civilized country is moving against the liquor traffic. Some peo ple say that you cannot make men moral by law." If this kind of rea soning were allowed you would have to repeal all the laws from the Ten Commandments to the present. We need liquor legislation which can be enforced and then its enforcement." A. & M. to Play Thursday. Raleigh. N.

A Pitcher's Battle. (By Ty Cobb.) The contest Saturday between New York and Philadelphia was a battle pure and simple between two mas ters of the art of pitching:. The most sensational artist of the two went down to defeat. The headiest and most conserva tive twirler, a workman, that made every ball perform its duty, a man that seemed to figure out and then execute it, for each ball, was return ed victorious m this eventful battle for the supremacy in the first game or tne world's series of 1911. Matthewson's work was ideal. He seemed to have wonderful control of every ball pitched to every man who came to the bat and always held the game just where he wanted it. To define his work would take many pages. He seemed to have ev ery angle analyzed and he was a complete master of the Athletics at all times. To Bender, the vanquished, I must say that his work was truly wonder ful. It was flittering:. From the be ginning to the end of this game he was the sensation pitcher, accom plishing his ends with wonderful speed and simply over-riding the opposition by main strength alone. His flinging over-shadowed Matthew- son's as you can judge from the fact that Bender struck out eleven Giants holding them down to five hits and while Matty's record was six hits and he struck out only five. But I don't wish to detract any from the wonderful work of Mathew- son, for it was he alone who decided this game against the Athletics. No other pitcher on the New York staff could, have nut up such wonderful work as "Matty." To have pitched "Matty" in tire second game instead of the 'first would have seen the Athletics win ners of the first contest of this great series. Wright's New Aeroplane. Kitty Hawk, N. C, Oct. 16. With the assembling today of the Wright brothers' latest development in the science of aviation, about which so much speculation has been indulged in, spectators were given their first view of the new flying device which s to be used by the famous aero plane inventors in the solution of the problem of sustained flight with min imum power. The new glider as the Wright's call it, differs only slightly in form from the present day ma chine now in use by them and is not a buzzard shaped affair as has been reported. It is much lighter, how ever, than any machine in use by the Wrights, weighing only about 145 pounds. There was not enough wind today to fly the new aeroplane from Kill Devil Hill and the first flight is ex pected to take place next Monday, as the Wrights insist upon observing the. Sabbath. When the parts of the machine were assembled today its appearance bore out the statement of Orville 'Wright that it was intended merely as a glider. It is a biplane, the plane measuring 32 feet across from tip to tip and 5 1-2 feet in breadth. From UDDer to lower plane there is a space of 5 1-2 feet. As in the case of the first Wright machine, the new glider is supported on skid's. These. however, are much lighter than those of the standard machine. The central levers are arranged the same as the power driven machine. There is z double rear vertical rudder and a hor izontal tail plane, exactly like the power" aeroplane except that the tail frame is shorter and of lighter con struction. One noticeable change in the glide is the lifting curve of the main plane This curve, which runs from the en tering edge to the rear of the plane is -decidedly flatter than the old style There is no apparent reason why the clider should not be able to trav el a considerable distance in a stiff wind and it , is believed it will ' be easier to control than any machine now in use. It presents practically no radical departure from the accept ed type of Wright biplane. The hanger and . camp of the Wright's is about a quarter of a mile from the summit of Kill Devil Hill where the first Wright aviation expe riments took place. Local Rains.

The plan for the dissolution of the American To bacco Company in compliance with the decision of the United States Su preme Court decreeing it an illegal combination was officially made pub lic last night. It will be submitted to the Unittd States circuit court of the Southern district of New York for approval Monday. It was decided to make the plan public prematurely owing to the publication today of a summary purporting to be official but which, according to Delancy Nic- noil, counsel for the American To bacco Company, was incorrect. The official plan provides for di vision of the American Tobacco Com pany into four companies, no one of which, it is stated, will have a con trolling influence in the tobacco busi ness. The four companies are the pres ent American Tobacco Companv in which will continue its corporate ex istence the Liggett & Myers Tcbac co Co., which is to be organized; the f. i-orillard Company, also to be or ganized and the R. J. Reynolds To bacco Company, an existing corpora tion. Disintegration is to be brought about by selling $115,000,000 of the property of the American Tobacco Company consisting of factories, brands, businesses and capital stock of tobacco manufacturing companies now owned and controlled by it to the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co., and the P. Lorillard Company for cash and securities of the two vendee com panies and by distributing to com mon stockholders, of the Ameriacn Tobacco Company two thirds of the stock ox the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, now owned by the Ameri can Tobacco Company. The plan also provides for distri button in the form of dividends of the securities of the various subdi iary companies cont,rolld by - it to the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co., and the P. Lorillard Company for cash and securities of the two ven dee companies, and by distributing to common stockholders of the Amer ican Tobacco Company two thirds of the stock of the R. J. Reynolds To bacco Company now owned by the American Tobacco Company. The plan also provides for distri btion in the form of dividends of the securities of the various subsid lary companies controlled by the American Tobacco Company, manu facturing licorice, snuff, tinfoil, etc to- the American Tobacco Company's common stockholders and the divis ion of some of these subsidiary com panies, which were held to be illegal combinations, into separate compa nies, having no interest in each oth er. It provides farther for radical' changes in the voting power of the stock so that the twenty nine indi vidual defendants who formerly con trolled the American Tobacco Com pany through the ownership of fifty six. per cent of the ommon stocb,will surrender this control. The principal financial feature of the plan is an assessment on the $40,260,400 common stock of the American Tobacco Company amount ing to $3t,b4l,15 or about 91 per cent wThich will be used toward the proposed retirement and cancellation of the company's existing bonds. For this assessment, however, the com mon 'stockholders will receive stock of the Liggett & Myers and P. Loril lard companies. It is set forth that the 80 per cent of the production of cigarettes in the United States, now controlled by the American Tobacco Company, will be divided practically 37 per cent to the American Tobacco Company, 28 per cent to Liggett & Myers Co. and 15 per cent to P. Lorillard Company. The 77 per cent of smoking tobacco Company; 20 per cent to the Liggett & Myers Co., and 22 per cent to the P. Lorillard Company and 2 to the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. The 80 per cent of plug tobacco will be divided practically 25 per cent to the American Tobacco Com pany, 34 per cent to Liggett & My ers and 3 per cent to the Lirillard Company and 18 per cent to the Rey Bern; Dr. J.

The 79 per cent of fine cuts tobac co will be divided about 10 per cent to the Ame an Tobacco Company 41 per cery.o Liggett & Myers and 28 per at to Lorillard compan', The per cent of cigar manufac tu ontrolled will be divided about -o American Cigar Company, 6 to he Lorillard Company and 1 to the American Stogie Company. The 93 per cent control of "little cigars" will be divided about 15 to the American Tobacco Company, 44 to Liggett & Myers and 34 to the Lorillard Company, ine ninety per cent of the snuff business will be di vided practically 32 per cent to the present American Snuff Company, 30 per cent to the George W. Helms Company and 28 per cent to Wey- man & Bruton Co., the latter two companies to be organized. . Each preferred stockholder of the American Tobacco Company will be offered the right to exchange one- third cf his holdings at par into seven per cent preferred stock of the Liggett & Myers and Lorillard com panies. The effect of these changes when made will be to pay off the entire bonded debt of the American Tobac co Company, amounting to $104,236,- 7o0 and to reduce its assets corre spondingly. It will be left with $52,- 459,500 of the preferred stock and $40,260,100 of common stock as its only outstanding securities. The preferred stock will be given full vot ing rights and the control of the American Tobacco Company will thus pass from the 29 individual defend ants to the holders of the $92,719,800 preferred and common stock. Both the preferred stock of Liggett & Myers and Lorillard companies will also have full voting rights and the twenty nine defendants will control neither of these companies. The same will be true of the R. J. Reynolds To bacco Company. None of the four companies will have any interest in or relation to the other, although at the outset they will of necessity have many stockholders in common. No small group of men, not even of twenty nine individual defendants in the aggregate will own the control of any of the principal, accessory or subsidiary companies, the plan states The total cost to the common stock holders of putting the plan into effect it is set forth including the increased interest and preferred dividend charges capitalized on a five per cent basis, the payment of bonds at above par, the expenses of the disintegra tion itself and the organization of the new companies will amount at least to $22,000,000, this in addition to $36,- 651,925 In. cash to be used toward paying the bonds of the company. Whitney Is $250,000 Loser. New York, Oct. 16. English turf experts compute that Harry Payne Whitney's activity on the English turf this year has cost him $250,000. Whitney's luck since March has been so bad that it has been a by word on the race track. He has had more than 40 horses in training, but he has won only 13 races, and they were mostly small events. Few English turfmen, even Leopold Rothschild, Sir Ernest Cassel, or the Joel brothers, maintain racing stab les on such a scale of magnificence as Whitney. His trainer, Andrew Jackson Joyner, says that they cost $50,000 a year in forfeits alone, that is, in sums paid to release horses from their encasements to run in events for .which they have been en tered. Views of Asheville to Be Shown in Motion Pictures. Asheville, Oct. 16. Asheville, with other cities of the South, is to be represented in moving pictures on the circuits covered by one of the larg est. movine picture houses in the country. The Vitagraph Motion Pic ture Company has sent here C. L Fuller to secure views in and around Asheville, including the Sunset drive and Vance monument. The idea Is to have the views of ten cities in the South on one film 1,000 feet long, giving 100 feet for each city. The film will be sent over the circuit covered by the company and this has some 8,000 moving picture theatres through out the country. Wake Forest 53. Roanoke 6. Wake Forest, N. C, Oct. 16. In the second college game of the sea son played here Saturday afternoon, Wake Forest trampled upon the team from Roanoke College for a re sulting score of 53 to 6. From the very kick-off it was evident that the visitors would not have a look-in. Not for a moment was the Wake Forest goal in danger while the Roanoke line was hurled back for gains varying from five yards to twenty five, it would be difficult to designate anv one as a particular star, though it was pretty well agreed upon that the honors belong to Singleterry for Wake Forest, he making three of the touchdowns himself. Savage showed splendid form in plowing in the line opened gaps at will. Utley kicked six out of nine chances at goal. The third quarter was almost a farce. A continuous series of penalties kept the Wake Forest boys from making jbut one touchdown and that came m LUIO ICLCfc iOW OVVfXXVAO VJ T . THE 5EC- ONDBATTLE BETWEEN THE ATHLETICS AND THE GIANTS-MARQUAAD AND COOMBS WILL TWIRL THE SPHERE Philadelphia, Oct. 16. With fair weather prevailing and both teams on edge the battle ground between the Giants and Athletics in their struggle for the baseball champion ship was shifted here today. Although the Giants ahve tasted first blood, the Quaker fans are confident the world title will remain here. However the Giants are the fav orities wagering they will win the series by odds of 5 to 3. There was a large crowd about tha entrance at 8 o'clock. It is believed that McGraw fill sent Manquard to the box while Mack will select Coombs. It is thought the result will be another pitcher's battle. The Giant left New York at nine o'clock on a special train getting here at eleven. Both managers are silent yet direct in the prediction as to the outcom of the game. The batting order will be the same with the exception of the batteries. The game opened with the b"V teries for New York, Marquard anfl Meyers for Philadelphia Plank and Thomas.
