NEW YORK, Oct. 14— (Special)—
Fighting to the last trench the New
York Nationals repulsed the onrush-
ing of the Boston Americans Monday,
and sent thew down to defeat by a
score of 5 to 2, in the sixth game
of the world's series. A victory for.
the Rex Sox would have carried with
it the title of world's champions of
1912 and when Rube Marquard walk-
ed off the Polo Grounds this even-
! New York club, was in a serious con-
; ditlon at his hotel here. Mr. Brush
has been ill for a 'ong time.
Marquard and Meyers were an-
nounced as the New York battery and
O'Brien and Cady for Boston.
Klem went behind the bat, Evans
took the basee, Rigler went to right

The vanguard of the host of visitors
to throng Guthrie this week came in
yesterday morning and by night last
evening the badges of the ConBistory
members were greatly in evidence.
Over seventy members of the class
had been checked in last night and
there are many more to follow. It is
believed that this class will be the
largest in the history of the comsist-
ory. Yesterday morning two coach
loads of the visitors arrived from
Woodward, Alva, Gage, Guymon, Cher
okee and other towns in the western
part of the state. They were met at
the union station with automobiles
and escorted to the Temple where
they registered and badges were is-
sued to them.
The streets in both the business
district and over the residence sec-
tions were decorated in honor of
the many visitors and no efforts will
lie spared t° niake their visit a
■pleasant one.

REUTER JURY 15 OLD SOLDIERS GET
FINALLY SLCORED! PENSION INCREASE
TULSA, OK., Oct. 14.—(Special)—
After more than seven days of wear-
isome work the jury in the Reuter
case was completed Monday and the
taking of evidence began late in the
afternoon. The jury is composed en-
tirely of farmers. County Attorney
Malloy outlined in his opening state-
ment what, if proven true, will as-
sure by far one of the most thrilling
murder plots ever concocted in Okla-
homa. Mrs. Reuter, as well as Ba-
ker, McKenzie and Bud Bellew are
equally implicated. The first day's ev-
idence was of a light nature and
brought out no important facts.
ET
SPOKE IN PER.-iY
As an evidence of the fact that
Congressman Bird McGuiTe is always
looking after the interests of the peo-
ple of the First district and the state
of Oklahoma, he. is now receiving
daily from 50 to 100 notices of al-
lowances of increases In pensions for
the many old soldiers in the First
district. Wihen the increase bill was
about to 'pass, Bird McGuir© notified
every old soldier that it would be to
their interest to file their application,
as soon as possible because it would
be taken up earlier and would be
paid from the time of filing the appli-
cation. Mr. McGuire is now receiv-
ing the notices and hundreds of the
old solders are receiving their mon-
ey just at tho beginning of winter
when they need it most. If Bird Mc-
Guire had failed to notify the old sol-
diers to file their applications early
it probably would have been months
before any one of them in the First
district would have received their in-
; crease in pension.

FOR POLICE LIEUT.
NEW YORK., Oct. 14.—(Special)—
"Bridg'e" Webber, whose gambling
room on Forty-S< ::ond .street was
the rendezvous of ihe alleged murder-
ers of Herman Rosenthal, took the
stand Monday at the trial of Lieu-
tenant of Police Becker, who is
charged with Rosenthal's murder and
swore that Becker had said on the
night of the murder: "he had be^n
looking for Rosenthal to take a shot
at him."
It wa3 by far the most damaging
evidence that has been given against
the police official.
