Plain Dealer Co-operates With Dealers for Exhibition
Catching up with the march of the industry, local auto distributors, under the auspices of the Plain Dealer, will stage during the week of Oct. 20-25 a big automobile show at the Knight of Pythias building.
The new models, particularly the eight-cylinder and double-duty cars, and the many changes in switchboards, windshields and brakes—hydraulic and mechanical four-wheel brakes especially—and low pressure tires, etc., etc., are scarcely known to the general public, and this newspaper believes that a show such as the one planned, to which no admission will be charged, will afford an opportunity to thousands who find it difficult to leave their homes except at night to visit the showrooms.
A monster parade on the 20th, to which distributors and individual owners of cars from all over Orange-co will be welcome, will open the week's doings, while an entertainment at the Pythian temple itself will furnish amusement along with the instruction motorwise that will be afforded.
Suitable decorations will help to make the affair a gala one.
Prizes for the Fords best decorated, oldest, containing the largest family and including the most accessories in equipment, respectively, will be offered. This feature in previous parades has proved a wonderful magnet to the crowds.
So far as possible the distributors' cars in the parade will be arranged by models, tourings, roadsters, coupes, sedans, etc., being grouped together. This idea has never to our knowledge been followed in such parades.
Omission of the fourth annual California Valencia Orange Show in May and with it the usual auto show left a gap that hasn't yet been filled this year. One of the objects of the show will be the make up for this deficiency.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—Dent Coolidge today placed self squarely behind Secretary Commerce Hoover's program federal radio control and put the administration to oppose attempted "monopoly of the portico of the White House delegates to the third national radio convention now in session here, the president declared was the intention of the government to see that the opposition for use of radio "be kept to the highest possible degree."
"The goal we desire to is an opportunity for every have access to radio communication with limitation," he said, "and in order to this result, it is necessary there be rules and regulations. Otherwise there would be confusion that there never be any certainty of service."
At the same time the presided by charged his audience with "great responsibility of keeping the air clean."
"In this new instrument science", Mr. Coolidge was "there is an opportunity greater license even than I use of print, for, while paper may exclude corrupting literature from the home, radio rates directly to our children thermore there is also great possibility on the part of who transmit material over radio that there should be malice or slander through channels."
"Entirely aside from these liabilities that may be involved there is double injury, because those who are wronged can no opportunity to reply."
The president pointed out in many countries the government has taken over the conduct of radio programs in order to prevent the broadcast of any objectionable matter," he said such a step did not form to American fundamentals.
"We have been prepared trust our people to preserve high standard and ideals we must accompany this great age of communication," he decried.
Radio, the president said properly safeguarded, will come one of the greatest bings of mankind.
"It should render possibly more complete understanding our national problems," he said.

ABOARD U. S. SHENANDOAH, Oct. 8. — Sailing smoothly at an altitude of 2,500 feet, the Shenandoah crossed the lower tip of the Allegheny mountains at a speed of 40 miles an hour at 7 a.m.
Atlanta was sighted at 4:25, just as day was breaking and as Georgia city's populace was awakening. A salvo of locomotive whistles echoed through the clouds to the wonderment of those on board the Shenandoah.
Carollton Ga., was passed at 6:32 o'clock.
The sun, a golden ball, was peeping over the eastern horizon of the Blue Ridge foothills at 7 o'clock. Banks of clouds lay heavily in the valleys as first rays of the sunlight steamed like ribbons across their silvery surface.
On the dirt roads wending across the foothills of Alabama, farmers with their families could be seen driving to nearby villages for the day's shopping. On sighting the Shenandoah they were seen to stop abruptly and gaze in amazement until lost to view.
The ship's speed was increased approximately 35 miles per hour shortly after daybreak because of better sailing conditions. The stiff wind which it had been heading against for hours, died down.
It took almost 20 hours to make the journey from Lakehurst to Atlanta a distance of approximately the same as that from Chicago to the New Jersey hangar, which the Shenandoah negotiated at a speed of 85 miles an hour a year ago.
Officers of the ship estimated this morning that Dallas would be reached early this evening and Fort Worth, less than an hour's flight further west, shortly afterwards. Unless some difficulty is encountered, the Shenandoah will be fast to the mooring mast at Fort Worth before midnight.
Aboard the Shenandoah are 11 officers, 27 enlisted men and two passengers, a reported, Junius Wood, and Rear Admiral W. A. Moffett, chief of the navy bureau of aeronautics. The officers are (Continued on Page Two)

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.—While giving the full need of credit to the Senators, particularly to Harris and Goslin, for winning the fourth game of the world series, John McGraw today took occasion today to blame his lieutenant, Hughey Jennings, for its loss.
"I disagree with Jennings' judgment in sending Meusel home in the eighth on Wilson's double," McGraw said. "The run wouldn't have 'tied the score in any case. If Meusel had been held at third, we would have had men on second and third with one out. As it was, we had a man on second with two out. The worst of it was that we had Mogridge on the run at the time."

Boy Who Eluded Posse in Santa Ana Caught in Pasadena
When Earl Ryan, 19, eluded a posse of almost 150 Santa Ana persons and a small cordon of police one Sunday afternoon about a month ago after being seen at work before a safe in a Santa Ana clothing store, he was seeking hair-raising and vivid experiences from which he would write a novel.
This explanation he gave to C. N. Mozley, chief deputy district attorney; L. C. Rogers, chief of police, and other Santa Ana authorities who interviewed him in the Los Angeles-co jail, where he is being held as a robbery suspect.
In Santa Ana he was seen at work in opening a safe. Officers rushed in on him but, Houdini-like, he completely disappeared.
He tried the same thing in Pasadena, Sunday, he admitted, according to the officers. Here, however, after making his way out into the crowd, the youth, tall and decidedly slender, was recognized and apprehended.
He needed local color for his projected novels, he claimed, explaining why he took no loot. Orange-co authorities will be given the youth to prosecute.
GENERAL WARNS OF LA FOLLETTE
EN ROUTE WITH GENERAL DAWES IN IOWA, Oct. 8.—The message of conservative Republicanism—"Coolidge or chaos"—was being carried today into the wide open spaces of the mid-west.
In more than a score of brief addresses from the rear platform of his special train, speeding thru the heart of the grain belt, Gen. Chas. G. Dawes, Republican vice-presidential candidate, today sounded a warning against radicalism, against reactionaries and against LaFollette and his progressive platform, urging limitation of the powers of the supreme court thru constitutional changes.
"Beware of LaFollette, the true reactionary."
This was the catch phrase of the nominee's battle to make Iowa, home state of Sen. Smith W. Brookhart, who demanded Dawes' resignation as vice-presidential candidate and dared him to campaign thru Iowa, safe for Republicanism.

Butler, chairman, in a statement which characterized the radical candidate's attack as a "smoke screen" to divert public attention from the huge sums being spent in his campaign and thus prevent investigation in that field. The statement made categorical denial of all LaFollette's charges and asked for an accounting from him and Democratic campaign chieftains.
SLEMP ISSUES STATEMENT
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.…C. Bascom Slemp, secretary to President Coolidge, issued the following tatement today regarding Sen. LaFollette's charges that a huge Republican, "slush fund" is being raised to throw into doubtful political territory.
"Sen. LaFollette's statement about my connection with the campaign is fabrication. I know nothing about the Republican National Committees finances and I have no connection, directly or indirectly, with handling them, neither will I have in the future, it has not been suggested that I save Washington in the interests of Pres.

GREAT CROWD GREETS SIR WALTER
POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oct. 8.—The second and final act of the drama, known as Walter Johnson versus the New York Giants, was enacted in the fifth game of the world's series this afternoon and probably the greatest crowd that ever innundated the Polo Grounds sat in at the death. An hour and a half before game time the identity of the prospective corpse was still to be determined, but even at this early moment a throng of 53,000 waited patiently for the demise. It was more of a feverish crowd than New York has known in many years, the kind that revelled in baseball dramas before McGraw began promiscuously tearing leaves out of his checkbook. Johnson's second attempt to befuddle the Giants was in part responsible.
Another contributing factor was that the club winning today's game would sever the existing deadlock at two victories each and stake itself to an extremely dapper chance to step home with the title.
In spite of the fact that overnight weather conditions were a bit damp, not to say wet, hundreds of citizens haunted the closed gates this morning.

HOME RUN
Poor Pitching Defeats Efforts of American League Senators
POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oct. 8.—Jack Bentley is a left-handed resident of Washington, D.C., and this afternoon he showed his civic pride by making a personal matter out of beating Walter Johnson, and the Senators in the fifth game of the world's series, score 6 to 2. Bentley, a last minute nominee by the Gate, not only pitched in a very superior manner, but socked in what proved to be the winning runs with a homer into the right field stands with Gowdy aboard in the fifth.
That was the blow that killed father. It gave the Giants the odd victory in the five games played and all but Johnson enjoyed the afternoon. It was Walter's second start, also his second defeat. The Giants smote him for 13 hits, that tells the story.
Ultimately, Bentley disappeared from view in the eighth, after Goslin hit his third homer of the series and Judge his third single of the game, but like the lives of great men, he had left his footprints on the sands of time and on all three bases and the home plate.
Johnson never recovered from the incident and in the eighth allowed three more on singles by Kelly, McQuillan and Lindstrom, sandwiched around a pass to Terry, Jackson's sacrifice fly and Johnson's own error on Wilson's sacrifice.
The performance placed the Giants where a victory in Washington tomorrow will get them the world title without further ado. Another capacity crowd, well in excess of 50,000, witnessed the affair and this time fickle fandom turned against the Senators and supported the Giants.
Outside of Gooslin's homer, the Senators were rather feeble in their attack. Their only other tally resulted in the fourth from Judge's single, Bluege's sacrifice and Miller's hit to right. In the previous inning they got three singles in a row but failed to score when Rice popped out and Gooslin was killed off by Frisch and Terry. It was something of a misspent afternoon.

DEMANDS INVESTIGATION
CARTHAGE, Tenn., Oct. 8.

Senator Caraway is a member of the senate campaign expenditure committee.
HOBOKEN, N. J., Oct. 8.—Reiterating his charge that the Republican party is collecting a vast slush fund to "buy the election of President Coolidge," Senator Robert M. LaFollette, independent presidential candidate, today again demanded a full investigation by the Borah committee of campaign expenditures of all parties.
In a formal statement, LaFollette insisted that the Borah senate committee investigating campaign expenses be summoned into session immediately, subpoenaing manager of all parties and "completing them to produce books and papers and to testify fully regarding the collection and use of monies in the presidential campaign."

Mellon, of Pittsburgh, mother of the secretary of the Treasury, and Edward T. Stotesbury, the Philadelphia representative of J. P. Morgan & Co., to try the election of Coolidge in the dubious states," Sen. LaFollette stated.
"It is vital that the American people know before election day exactly what the money interests doing to influence their decision at the polls," he added.
"I intend to see that they have this information. We have just begun fight. Wall Street shall not be this election."
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—Sensational investigation of charges at the Republican campaign managers are pouring a "slush fund" of four or five millions of dollars" into a doubtful state in eleventh hour attempt to swing election for Pres. Coolidge ended up today as an enlistment order of the driving finish for the indictency.
The charge was made by Sen.bert M. LaFollette, independentponent of Pres. Coolidge, in the filing address of his long herald-(Continued on Page Two)
LEAVES out of his checkbook. Johnson's second attempt to buffle the Giants was in part responsible.
Another contributing factor was that the club winning today's game would sever the existing deadlock at two victories each and stake itself to an extremely dapper chance to step home with the title.
In spite of the fact that overnight weather conditions were a bit damp, not to say wet, hundreds of citizens haunted the closed gates this morning.
Scalpel, buying up tickets yesterday at fancy prices, sold tickets with two-handed rapidity. Much activity also was shown by gamblers, professional and otherwise. W. L. Darnell & Co., declared that it had placed $11,000 against $10,000 that the Senators would win today and that it held many commissions to be wagered at 6 to 5 that the Senators would win the series.
Just before the Senators came on the field at 12:55, Stanley Harris announced his choice of Johnson as pitcher. He reserved decision on Roger Peckinpaugh, start shortstop, who strained a tendon several days ago.
Speaking for McGraw, the effervescent Hughle Jennings said that the Giant pitching choice lay between Nehf, Ryan and McQuillan. All three took their place.
Nehf would have been the logical selection except that it was feared his injured hand had not recovered sufficiently to permit him to work today.
The injured Peck failed to impress in batting practice, having trouble with his swing. Asked if he expected to play, the shortstop replied:
"I don't think so."
Mingled bouquets and brickbats greeted the Giants when they went out for fielding practice.
Bentley stepped out to warm up with less than 10 minutes remaining before play was called. A few minutes later it was officially stated that Bentley would start against the Senators.

Judge's single, Bluege's sacrifice and Miller's hit to right. In the previous inning they got three singles in a row but failed to score when Rice popped out and Goalin was killed off by Frisch and Terry. It was something of a misspent afternoon.
