JSOSTQN WTHER IN BAD FORM
Taken Out After First Inning,, But
f ri foolt to Save the Game
1 ' ' Today May End Series
'. scA ewat-fest in the first inning won
tfee game for the. New York Giants in
'the suthgame of the World's Champion
" t ehip Series for 1912 and which was
played on the Polo grounds, New York,
' yesterday afternoon. With only o;
' .. game to win in order to get the pennant
- 'the Boston Red Sox. put O'Brien, one
of their best men, in the box against
; he phenomenal ' "King" Marquard,
:' the pitcher, who has pulled the Giants
atfely over so many tight places. Io
the first inning O'Brein went all to
, pieces, allowing five of the New Yorkers
o cross thp home plate. The massacre
. -would doubtless have been, worse but
, for the fact that the Giants grew in
; different and made no further effort to
flpore in that inning.
O'Brien was replaced in the second
inning by Collins, who didn't allow the
Giants to make another run. In the
second inning two errors were made
by the Giants and the Red Sox put
two men across home plate. .From
that time until the close of the game
the playing was fast and almost perfect,
the score at the close being five to two
in favor of the Giants. The Red Sox
made seven hits and two errors while
the Giants made eleven hits and two
terrors.
At the present time the Red Sox have
won three games, the Giants two and
the remaining game resulted in a tie.
The game today will be played at
Fenway Park, Boston. There is much
speculation as to who the victor will be,
if the Red Sox win the pennant will be
given to them but if the Giants turn
the tables on their opponents and win
the games both teams will be on equal
footing.
MANY VISIT FAIR GROUNDS.
Hundreds of people visited the Fair
Grounds Sunday . The weather was
ideal and all during the day the street
leading to the grounds was crowded
with automobiles, buggies, motor cycles
and every other conceivable convey
ance. A number Of the visitors had
iot seen the grounds and buildings and
they were agreeably surprised at the
progress which has been made and the
complete transformation of the tract
of ground.
HARD TO GET NEGRO HELP.
According to a statement of various
contractors in the city,, the question
of getting a sufficient supply of negro
labor is becoming a serious one. With
in the past few months there has been
o much building going on in the city
that with the advent of many of the
negroes to the cotton fields .all over
the county the supply of help has been
nearly exhausted. The Contractors are
now paying $1.25 and $1,5Q a day for
any class of labor able to wield a pick
And shovel, it is often the ease that
-the scarcity cf labor is caused by the
negroes refusing to work, preferring
rather to lie around some public place
and take life eaw.

Prof. Craren Leave. Tomorrow to
Look in on the Fair at
Raleigh
OTHER SCHOOLS MAY EXHIBIT
Those at Morehead City, j Beaufort
Washington and Other
Places Invited
Prof. H. B. Craven, city superin
tendent of schools, will leave tomorrow
for Raleigh where he will visit the
State Fair, whcih is in progress there
this week, and inspect the . exhibits
made by the various schools of the
State- so that he can introduce their
methods into the exhibit to be made at
the Eastern Carolina Fair by the New
Bern Graded School.
It is possible, that in addition to the
exhibit by the local school at this Fair
there will be exhibits from schools at
Beaufort, Morehead City, Kins ton,
Washington and other nearby towns.
Prof, Craven has written t) the prin
cipals of these institutions, explaining;
the matter fully and asking them to
make an exhibit. Each of the schools
would have a seperate exhibit although
all in one department and would each
be under the supervision of one or more
teachers from their own schools.
At the Fairs held in the western part
of the State, particularly that at Greens
boro and at Winston-Salem, the ex
hibit made by the public schools of the
city has proven to be not only interest
ing but very instructive and there is
no cause "why the exhibit made b), the
local schools should not, equal these.
The teachers and their pupils are now
at work on the articles that will be
used in the exhibit and are doing all
in their power to make it a success.

WOMAN A "WILSON" MAN
Baltimore, October 14. Mrs. Wil

Government League of Maryland and
an enthusiastic worker in the Women's
Wilson League, explained why, as she
termed it, she is a "Wilson man."
"I am a Republican, you know, by
inheritance," she said, "but Governor
Wilson converted me to his side by just
one word. Jt wag last winter, when he
was our guest to speak at the big meet

them a nice little , supper when they
came back from the meeting that I
thought the time auspicious for put

'"Governor,' I Said, during a pause
in the conversation, 'do you believe in
the people?'
"Just like that I put the question to
him without any warning and without
apology, and the Governor did not hes
itate for a minute.
'"Absolutely ,' he replied. And then
he told me that he had always foumd
the people right when any opportunity
was given' them to decide' the. merits
of a question. , He talked enthusiastical
ly about the way the people had re
sponded to every chance given them so
far as his experience had witnessesd. ,
'"My most earnest srtiving in public
office, he said, 'is always to bring about
such a condition of affairs that it is left
to the people to, decide. 1 have found

OUT FOR WILSON
Issues Signed Statement Asking
All Progressive Republicans to
Vote for Democratic Nominee
CLAIMS FRAUD IN CALIFORNIA
Declares That Whole Proceeding of
Roosevelt Party in That
State is Fraudulent
Washington, D. C, October 14.
United States Senator John D. Works
of California has issued a signed state
ment charging the Progressive Third
Party movement in California, with
gross fraud and asking all Progressive
Republicans to vote for Governor Wil
son for President. He also pointed
out the impossibility of the Republicans
carrying California for Taft because of
the manner in which the Bull Moose
leaders of the state fraudulently entered
and captured the Republican primaries,
and he advised all states where Taft
electors are not on the Republican
ballot, to vote for Wilson.
Senator , Works outlined the manner
in which the Roosevelt tnen, not en.
titled to a place on the ballot at the
primary election to nominate for office
on the Republican ticket men who were
not Republicans, but members of the
Third party.
The steatment pointed out that
these persons, by means of false affi
davits, obtained control of the Republi
can state central committee of, Cali
fornia and permitted Third party men
to act ina Republican convention under
the laws of California to place Roose
velt electors on the Republican ticket.
"The new party' said Senator Works
statement "is completely Organized
with all the necessary political machin
ery, arid some of the men who are act
ing as ' members of the . Republican
committees in California are also mem
bers of working committees of the new
party. . ,".. ( V ' " ,",:." -.

a man in the Craven county jail who
is thought to be his assailant is the re
sult of a brawl between two negro men

an altercation after which Smith made
his secape.
. Sunday afternoon the authorities
received a telephone message from the
Chief qf Police at Fort Barnewell ask
ing them to assist in the capture of the
fugitive. It was thought that he was
headed toward Vanceboro where he
would board the train and go to Nor

night he left for that point. Just after
the train reached Vanceboro a colored
man who in every way answered the
description of the one wanted boarded
"the,, rear end of the train. He was at
once placed under arrest and although
protesting vehemently was searched
and a razor found on his person. Depu
ty Sheriff Russell brought his prisoner
back ito New Bern on the nest train and
placed him in the county jail. The
man says, that his name is Charlie Ed
wards attd that he Was Tiever at Fort
Barnwell but he answers the descrip
tion of Smith in every detail.
A telephone message received yester
day from Fort- Barnwell stated that
someone would be sent here to day to
identify the man under arrest. Dilla
hunt was living at the: time of the mes-s
age but little hope was entertained for
his recovery. f ,v '.

SAYS SHE IS A DAUGHTER
OF JOHN WILKES BOOTH
Mrs. L. A. Howard, the actress who
is appearing with her husband under
the team name of Almond and Howard,
in a vaudeville sketch at the Athens
theatre this week, according to the sub
stance of an interview with Mr. H. J.
Lovick, one of the managers of the
theatre, is the daughter of John Wilkes
Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln
in Ford's theatre in Washington in 1865.
Both Mrs. Howard and her husband
insist that it is a fact beyond .the per-
adventure of a doubt, that John Wilkes
Booth was not killed in 1885 after he
shot President Lincoln, and that he
lived to marry Mrs. Howard's mt 1
in Tennessee on February 24,1872,and
to commit suicide in Enid, Okla., in
1903.
Mrs. Howard has a certified copy of
her mother's marriage certificate, and
attached to the copy is a faded bit of
paper bearing the signature, of "J.
Wilkes Booth," whcih she declares was
torn from the court records by he
clerk's permission. - This signature,,
which was carefully examined by a
representative of the theatre and the
Journal, appers to be identical with
authenticated fac-simles of John Wilkes
Booth's own.

R. H. Bryce, Sentenced to Two
Years on Chain Gang, Es
capes From Craven Jail
USES SHOVEL AND CASE KNIFE
Improvised a Rope Made of Blank
ets and Sheets From His Bed
and Let Himself Down
Using a shovel and a broken case
knife which had been given him by
Frank Oglesby, a half-witted inmate of
that institution, R. H. Bryce, a young
white man convicted at the last term
of Craven Superior Court of larency
arid sentenced to a term of two years on
the chain gang, picTced a hole in
the wall of his cell on the second floor
of the county jail and made his escape
early Sunday morning by climbing
and improvised rope made of blankets
and sheets from his bed.
It is the custom of the jailer to make
a tour of the cells just prior to turning
out the lights at 9 o'clock every night
and on Saturday night Jailer Riggs, ,
who has recently taken charge of the
jail, made his usual rounds. At that
time everything was in order and he
is sure that the wall in the cell occupied
by Bryce was intact. Shortly after
6 o'clock Sunday morning a colored
woman confined in the jail called Mr.
Riggs and told him that one of the
prisoners had escaped. Ho rushed into
the cell in which Bryce had been con
fined and found that he had departed.
In the cell with Bryce were three other
white men among whom was Harry
Huff, serving a four months sentence
for an assault. It is the opinion of
Jailer Riggs that Bryce had made his
escape only a short time previous and
but for his timely arrival the other men
in the eell would have followed him.
A search was made for the escaped
prisoner but up to the present time he
has not been apprehended. Before his
arrest he was employed in the local
shops of the Norfolk-Southern Railway
Company and claimed to have come
here from Hamlet, N. C.
COMMENCES REVIVAL.
Rev. J. B. Phillips, who has recently
assumed the pastorate of the Tabernacle
Baptist Church, has begun a series of
revival meetings. Last night his sub
ject was "Prayer" and his discourse
was a thoroughly interesting and in
structive one. In addition to the
sermon there will be good singing at
every meeting and a cordial invitation
to attend is extended the public. The
services begin each night at 7:30 oclock.
MORE ENTRANTS FOR HORSE
SHOW WANTED.
Mr. A. O. Newberry, chairman of the
committee on horse show of the East

way in which the people are taking
hold of this part of the fair. For all
the different events of the show, in-
cludfng the ladies' driving and riding
races, the gentlemen's races and the
contests for the children there have
been several entries. He and his asso
ciate on the committee, Miss Nettie
Fowler ,are devoting a great deal of
time to their part of the work of making
the coming fair a big success and they
ask the co-operation of the public. There
are not nearly enough entries yet and .
the committee urges owners of horse
flesh to get interested and make their .
applications for a place on the horse
show program.
