SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER. 11, 1925 PRICE TEN CENTS James Buchanan Duke Dies Following Physical Collapse; Gave Millions To Charities New York, October 10 (A. died James B. tonight Duke, at 6 tobaco o'clock at his manufacturer, home after an illness of several weeks that followed a nervous and physical breakdown. In one of his last statements before his death Mr.

Duke said his passing would have no effect on the future of his varied interests, ag all were in good hands. For several years Mr. Duke had not taken an active part in the conduct of the many enterprises in which he was interested. Management was entrusted to men he had trained. Mr.

Duke always maintained close relations with the farmers, whose products he purchased. In his early years as a tobaco manufacturer he instructed that his buyers pay the farmers enough for their crops to assure them a living. Mr. Duke became interested extentively in the development of hydroelectric power and established largo plants in sections of his native state, North Carolina. Recently he spent large sums in an effort to discover method of producing cheap fertilizer for the beneft of the farmer.

Last year he established the Duke Foundation, setting aside $40,000,000. Under its terms, Trinity College at Durham, N. changed its name to Duke University, and an active program of expansion was begun. James Buchanan Duke was born in 1856, near Durham, N. and received his education in the country schools.

His first association with the tobacco Industry was begun a few years after the Civil War, when his father, Washington Duke, established the plant which proved to be the nucleus of what later became an institution known around the world. The father took his two sons, CONTINUED ON SECOND PAGE. Caillaux Is Hailed as Victor By Paris Crowds, on Return; Mum's Word With DebtParty Paris, October 10 (A. official silence--was the watchword of the entire French mission, which reached Paris tonight from Washington. Official silence, however, soon gave way to informal friendly talks, from which the opinion was gathered that the members of the mission were impressed by the continued courtesy and welcome they received in the United States.

They believe that the mission's trip to Washington, in spite cf failure to reach a final accord, will not have been in vain. M. Caillaux, French Finance Minister, and the members of his arrived at Havre aboard the steamer; France early in- the afternoon. They came direct to Paris. M.

Caillaux was cheered by large crowds at the St. Lazare Station. His homecoming was warmer and more affectionate than when he returned from at which time his negotiations were hailed as "a great victory." Premier Paul Painleve greeted Minister of Finance personally at the station, and thanked him for the great work he had done fo France. M. Caillaux supplemented a brief statement he had made at Havre by saying: "I like and admire America.

I enjoyed my stay there -nd earnestly hope to return when I am out of office." The Minister was asked: "Why, don't you think you will turn when you are still in office?" THREE PERISH At Crossing in Indiana Manufacturer, Wife and Child Are Victims--Woman Fails To Note Approach of Train. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. Chicago, October S. Donnelly, assistant manager of the Pyrene Manufacturing Company, his wife and six-year-old daughter were killed today when their automobile was demolished by a Grand Trunk train at Maynard, ten miles south of Hammond, Ind. The machine was carried 100 yards on the front of the engine and thrown aside, a mass of twisted steel and broken splinters.

Mrs. Donnelly was driving at a moderate speed and apparently did not see the train approaching. She had just taken. her hands from the wheel to adjust her gloves. The bodies of the three victims were mangled and their clothing was torn.

The bodies were removed to Crown Point, where the inquest will be conducted. Mr. and Mrs. Donnelly were on their way to Chicago from their summer home at Cedar Lake, Ind. PAGES 9 SECTIONS PUNCH Of Old Is There As Ohio Battles Chicago To 3-To-3 Deadlock.

New Comet Twinkles in Conference Sky. Marek Gains 45 Yards, in Grange Fashion. "State" Kicks Goal in Opening Quarter. Maroon Boots "Drop" Over Bar in Third. Stagg's Men Are Outplayed in Major Portion of FrayWilce Team Thwarted in Late Thrust.

Chicago, October 10 (A. new comet flamed into prominence to rival Red Grange for Western Conference gridiron glory today as Ohio State and Chicago fought to a 3-3 tie before a colorful crowd of 35,000 that jammed Stagg Field today. The new star is Elmer Marek, budding young cyclone of 170 pounds, playing left half back for Ohio State. He is. acclaimed as the successor to Harley, Stinchcomb and Workman, heroes of Ohio's championship teams.

Marek, playing his first game for tire Buckeyes, revealed himself as a hard driving, elusive half- back who refuses to be stopped unless six or eight tacklers are on top of him. PENALTY NULLIFIES RUN. Marek, as near as can be figured, participated in 12 plays today for a total gain of 45 yards, not including A thrilling 25-yard run which was nullified by a penalty. The former Cedar Rapids (Iowa) prep star shows much the same speed and cunning as Grange in his thrusts around the ends, and smashes off the tackles. The Buckeyes, revealing their breath-taking and stunning blows that made them famous a few years back, clearly outplayed the Maroons in three of the four periods today, and were only prevented on two occasions from scoring the points that meant.

victory because the Maroons rose to on the defense. The Maroons, equipped with what was to be regarded old-style play, with a threat of forward passing, matched their superior power with Ohio's speed and intricate plays, producing what probably was as brilliant a game as will be played in the "Big Ten" this season. GOAL SCORED The Buckeyes scored their field goal in the first period, and the Maroons did not come back to count until the third period, in which session they were superior. A long pass, Marek to in the first period, netted 42 yards and brought the ball to Chicago's tenyard line. The Maroons made a superb defensive stand that kept Ohio from crossing the line.

The Buckeyes, after an exchange of kicks, started another drive for Chicago's goal and then halted. Jenkins dropped back and scored with a place kick on the 35-yard line. The Maroons opened with a savage, slashing attack at the start of the third period, when "Five Yards" McCarthy entered the game. Stagg's warriors, always threatening to open up with a forward passing attack, but never delivering, made good in this session. KICK EVENS SCORE.

Kernwein threw a forward pass to Lampe, who made a leaping catch and ran to Ohio's ten-yard line before he was upset. This time it was Ohio's turn to make a firm defensive stand, which they did successfully, and on the fourth down Drain, Maroon ter back, fell back to make a 15-yard drop kick that evened the score and brought relief to the souls of the harassed Maroon spectators. The fourth period was brimming with excitement, with several forward passes intercepted on both sides. With less than a minute to go, Curley. who had replaced Drain at quarter back, fumbled a punt on his own twenty-yard line, Clark recovering for Ohio.

After two quick thrusts at the line, netting five yards, Jenkins attempted another goal from the thirty-fiveyard line, but the kick was low. Kernwein blocked it and ran from his ten-yard line to midfield, removing any further danger of Ohio scoring. The Buckeyes employed a deceptive double pass back of the line that was so bewildering that the Maroon tack- CONTINUED ON THIRD PAGE. 6-8 CINCINNATI NEWS SECTION- PAGES. ENQUIRER -18-29-30 -3 Senators Take Third Game, 4 To Pirates Abandon Proposed Protest Joe Harris "Whole Works" This Time! Presence, Then Absence, Means Victory For Senators, Is Paradox Drawn By Runyon By Damon Runyon.

1925, 1 by Universal SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. Washington, October 10. This story of baseball battle deals with something of a paradox, with Joe Harris, a stodgy looking waif of the big leagues, who won the third game of the world series for the Washington Senators, first by his presence and then by his absence. The score was to 3, giving the Washington Club a one-game lead over the Pittsburg Pirates in the series after a struggle that had 45,000 spectators, among them President and Mrs. Coolidge, pretty well heated up with excitement by Its ninthInning finish.

But first let me explain the par- adox: Joe Harris drove in the winning run for the Senators in the seventh inning with a single. The score was at that moment a tie. Now, Joe Harris is a great hitter, "WOLF" BEGINS TERM In Federal Penitentiary Four Crises Passed When on Train. Atlanta, October 10 (A. John W.

"The Wolf," who netted a fortune by a frenzied finance scheme, passed four crises during the night en route from Chicago. Dr. Edward Sloan said Worthington had expressed his intention "fight," but that no start would be made on arrival at Atlanta. Andrew J.

Washington, October 10 (A. The Shipping Board situation again occupled the attention today of Presldent Coolidge through a conference with Leigh C. Palmer, deposed President of the Fleet Corporation, who had the support in office of the Chief Executive. Later Attorney-General John G. Sargent conferred with Mr.

Coolidge, but without any announcement of their conversation being made, although it has been Indicated that the President would seek the AttorneyGeneral's views as to his legal powers over the Meanwhile Elmer E. Crowley, whose election to be President of the Fleet Corporation to succeed Mr. Palmer without the board consulting Mr. Coolidge, was quoted in New York 8.8 saying that he did not intend to resign. Mr.

Coolidge has indicated displeasure that he accepted the office under such circumstances. Mr. Crowley's view is understood to be that he merely 1g an employee of the board and has no part in the differences between the board and the Executive. While the position of Mr. Coolidge toward Mr.

Crowley generally is garded here meaning that the Fleet Corporation President in persona non grata at the White House, Commissioners who participated in the action of the board in removing Mr. Palmer substituting Mr. Crowley expressed pleasure over Mr. Crowley's stand today.

Ball Passed Back To Washington Star After He Tumbled Over Fence, Is Argument. Judgment of Umpire Final, Landis Says. Pirate Leader Decides To Forego Dispute. "Was in Awkward Position and All Mixed Up With Fans," Senators' Outfielder Explains. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER.

Washington, October McKechnie, manager of the Pirates, tonight abandoned his proposed protest of the third game of the world series when he was informed by Kenesaw M. Landis, High Commissioner of Baseball, that an umpire's judgment cannot be reversed off the field. McKechnie was prepared to submit to Landis the affidavits of two bleacher fans and witnesses to support his contention that Sam Rice, Washington outfielder, did not make a fair catch of Earl Smith's drive In the eighth inning over the edge of the bleacher barrier. The Pirate manager argued that Smith, Pittsburg's catcher, was entitled to a home run. MATTER IS DROPPED.

After his conference with Landla, McKechnle announced that he would. "drop the matter altogether." Experts pointed out that there was no precedent for reversing an umpire's decision concerning a play. Charles Rigler, National League arbiter, decided that Rice made a fair catch. Two bleacher fans declared that Rice dropped the ball, then recovered it. The fans are: R.

I. Ashman, of Altoona, and Ralph Lewis, of the engineers' detachment, Washington barracks. They said that Rice clutched the ball, then dropped it as he tumbled over the barrier Into boy's lap, from where it was passed back to him. RICE STATES HIS CASE. Rice insisted that the ball never left his hands.

"The reason I did not turn around sooner and hold up my hand with the ball in it was because I had fallen over the bleacher rail in an awkward position and was all mixed up with the fang in the front row," Rice sald. "But I never lost the ball. A protest on Umpire Rigler's decision would be the height of absurdity." Buck Harris, manager of the Senators, dismissed the incident by saying that Rice had made a fair and marvelous catch. TRAINS CRASH Near Tampa, -Engineer Killed and 10 Passengers Injured Seriously, Is First Report. Tampa, October 10 (A.

One person is known to have been killed and ten seriously injured when two Atlantic Coast Line passenger trains crashed head-on 15 miles east of the city tonight. Engineer. of Train No. 82, whose name is believed to have been Hicks, was killed when thrown from his cab. The injured were rushed to this city.

The other train was one of the fastest on the line. Relief trains are on their way to the scene. Portland, October 10 (A. An Oregon and Washington Railway and Navigation Company passenger train was derailed tonight near Arlington, Ore. Messages reported many passengers were injured.

An appeal for and nurses was recelved here. but Joe Harris's stout legs, all knotted with muscles, carry no speed, so Bucky Harris, Washington's manager, dropped Joe from his line-up as the Pirates opened their batting side of the eighth and shifted Sam Rice to right field in Harris's place. It was a defensive move, because Bucky Harris figured a single felding mishap that late in the game might destroy that one run lead, and Harris was the one man in the Washington line-up who was most apt to sustain a mishap of that nature. A few minutes later Rice, called "Man o' War" because of his speed, made an astounding one-hand catch of a ball driven by Earl Smith, the talky Arkansas man who catches for the Pirates, that would have been a home run and then destroyed the Washington lead. Rice reached into the bleachers 111 center fleld and apparently grabbed the ball almost out of the lap of a man sitting in the front row.

Joe Harris, racing with all his might and main, could not have driven his bulky body over from right field in time to catch that ball. It took a man of sprinter speed, such A8 Rice possesses, and an unerring clutch. Rice has that, too. Sam's back was turned to the field and the crowd as he grabbed at the ball. The Pirates contend he dropped It, or that at least he did not catch it, and Bill McKechnie, Pirate manager, announced that he would protest the game.

Later he said' he would drop the matter. Personally, I thought Rice made the catch all right. In any event, with Joe Harris In the game in the eighth, there would have been no argument about the matter. Joe Harris would not have been close enough to the ball to bid it good And with Joe Harris out of the game in the seventh, It might CONTINUED ON SECOND PAGE.

Frigid blasts sweeping the American League Park were forgotten today by President and Mrs. Coolidge, with their more than 36,000 fellow rooters, 8.8 Washington overcame the Pittsburg lead and then checked the PIrates In a thrilling ninth-inning finish. Automobile robes carefully wrapped about the Executive and the First Lady fell to the floor unnoticed in the seventh inning when Earl McNeely scampered over the plate with, the tying marker, and the robes still were there when Mrs. Coolidge rose to cheer as Joe Harris drove "Bucky" Harris across with the winning run a moment later.

She was found dead in bed by her daughterin-law, Mrs.

Knox Lansdowne, of Cincinnati, who was visiting at the Langdowne home.

At the time of his funeral she was unable to go to Washington.

Since her son's death Mrs. Lansdowne had worried considerably and members of the family feared she would not long survive. Yesterday she complained of illness, but when she retired last night she appeared to be in her usual health. Mrs. Lansdowne was the widow of James Lansdowne, Greenville banker, and was known widely in this section of Ohio.

OHIO HIT By Heavy Snowfall. Blanket So Thick in New England That Plows Appear--Gale Hits Metropolis. Columbus, Ohio, October 10 (A. -Two inches of snow in Ohio cities, killing frost throughout the state, thin sheets of ice and temperatures as low as 25 degrees above zero caused Ohio early today to turn up its collective collar and turn on the heat. The official Weather Bureau readIng at Columbus put the temperature at 29, only five degrees above the lowest temperature in the United States, at Charles City, Iowa.

The lowest temperature reported in the state was 25, at Mansfeld. Canton and Alliance reported two inches of snow. At Conneaut the first snow of the season covered the housetops and ground in some places, while the temperature dropped to 31. Boston, October 10 (A. snowstorm, record-breaking in its intensity for so early in the season, laid a white covering over New England today.

At St. Albans, six inches fell, and the city snow plows were called out. New York, October 10 (A. Sweeping from the Great Lakes at a 72-mile-an-hour velocity, a cold nor'- wester today unleashed its strength upon the Metropolitan area, toppling the thermometer to 35 degrees for the coldest October 10 In 65 years, and spilling the first flurry of snow of the season. While the city's millions shivered, all traffic, shipping, pedestrian and vehicular, experienced the worst atmospheric upheaval in months.

Seven persons were Injured. Washington, October an arctic atmosphere that would have de lighted the soul of Captain Amundson, Stanley Harris today led his Senators one step nearer to second world championship when he headed a batting rally off Ray Kremer in the last half of the seventh inning and won the third game of the series by a score of 4 to 8. With the Pirates three times in the lead and looking like certain winners nearly all the way, the Amerlean Leaguers had the nerve and the punch to combine three hits with a careless pass to the first man up 10 the lucky seventh, and then to hold their slender lead through two hardfought innings, the eighth and the ninth. The Pirates threatened vigorously, only to be set back by the pitching or Fred Marberry and a remarkable catch by Sam Rice, which robbed Earl Smith of a homer in the eighth. CATCH IS MARVELOUS.

This capture was one of the most sensational ever seen in a big series, or, in fact, in any sort of a ball game. Marberry had gone to the mound in the eighth, after Alec Ferguson. who had done excellent work for the first seven innings, had been taken out to let Nemo Liebold bat for him. Noted as a finisher, Marberry displayed his skill at once by striking out Wright and Grantham, and getting two strikes on Smith. Of the first ten balls he pitched, eight were strikes.

But Smith, always a dangerous left-hand hitter, finally got hold of one and sent it on a long journey Into right center. A small temporary stand had been erected out there and the ball headed for these low open seats. OUTFIELD JUST SHIFTED. rency. Fortunately for Washington, foxy Bucky Harris had just shifted his outfleld, 8.8 he usually does when his team has obtained a lead late in the game.

Buck had taken out the slow moving Joe Harris and switched that fine gardener Sam Rice from center to right and sent Earl McNeely to center. This change came just in time to save the game for the Senators, for Joe Harris never would have gotten within 20 feet of the long drive from Smith's heavy war club. But Rice tore over with great speed and leaned over the first rows of open seats to take the ball in his gloved hand with his back to the playing field. He took his time about turning around and many, thought that he had lost the ball and it had gone for a home run. SMITH ALSO DECEIVED.

Among these optimists was Smith, who ran all the way around the paths under the pleasant impression that had socked a homer and tied the count. But Umpire Rigler, who was officiating at second base and had run into the field while the ball was in the jair, declared Rice had made the catch, ending the inning. Aside from Sam's smart effort the leading feature of the game was the effective pitching of Ferguson, who CONTINUED ON PAGE 20..
