The National' Industrial Conference got Into real action y and made progress to- ll ard solution of the country's lc problems. Though the fur was made to fly In a somewhat heated cross flro debate in the morning' ses- sion, the day wound up with a closer understanding and the delegates nearer together personally than even the most optimistic members hoped. There were many significant moves made on several sides of the confer- ence chamber, but the-rea- l sensation of the day was an unexepected propo- sal trom Samuel Gompers for the la- bor group that the confernc appoint a committee of six, two from each group, to settle the steel strike. Hp proposed that pending settlement the . tltuatlon In tho steel mills revert to the status quo before the strike that Is, that all strikers bo urged to return to work and that all men who woro, out as a result of' tho strike receive their Jobs back. ' In accordance with the conference rule of procedure the resolution vas rcftV) A promptly to the Clenerol Commltteo of Fifteen. Action upon it must be delayed until the committ- ee reports. Cfiiry AvoldM Comment. Elbert II. Gary, when asked about the resolution, declined to make any com- ment whatsoever on the ground that to do to would bo a violation of the rule and spirit of the conference. The resolution 'as presented would provide In effect for arbitration of the trlke bj the conference. Various inter- pretations were placed upon labor's dove. Mr. Gompers explained that It vas made in absolute good faith as in-- 1 dlcathe of the willingness of labor to rut Its faith In the gathering. Labor leaders in charge of the strike asserted nhen If was called that the Issue would be settled In the mills and Mr. Gary and ' his advisers in the United States Steel Corporation have taken the position con- sistently that matters in the strike would be permitted to take their course. Of course there was (suggestion that labor was weakening on the strike and \anted It settled, but It was apparent that the delegates generally accepted Mr Gompers's explanation as a sincere one and the comment was offered that labor had been willing at any time to arbitrate the strike. John D. Rockefeller. Jr., with tho as-s- of the public group, introduced a resolution that, while It did not mention the steel strike, may have large stgnifl-lunc- e in that connection. The resolu- tion proposed In effect that the confer- ence approve the principle of represent- ation of labor In Industry, under which tmployees shall have an effective voice in determining their terms of employ- ment and working and living conditions, but that the form of such representation hall be left to the parties concerned In tach Individual plant or corporation. bailor's \Hill of HlKhU.\ Ab'trjctly the resolution would seem to provide for the name form of shop ttrresentajlon that Mr. Gary advocated before the Senate committee Investigati- ng the rtrlke.

Labor's hand wan shown abruptly and sharply this morning, when after Introducing the steel strike resolution Mr Gompers presented labor's \bill of rlBhts, in the form of a declaration f principles upon which labor stood In a solid phalanx at the conference. This \bill of rights\ was a conservative one, tailing for full recognition of the things for which labor has contended for years, lth provisions added for a permanent 1'edc-ra- l arbitration board, for extens- ion of 'he powers and functions of the U'partin. nt cf Labor, and for the pro- hibition of immigration for two years Iter pear-e- . and Its regulation after that to an rjuent that would Insure that the lounrry rwtivcd no more aliens than It could ar, imilato and Americanize. 1 Jl'Wuticns poured Into the confe- ree but none of them brought K ir mm, f tno lahor proposals, \hen Mr Jmnpers had finished It was i'\ind 'hat tho employers croup was not ftp-i-i- d ic prtcent Its resolutions or Wocramme Mr, Gompers thereupon Jg(niil that the general committee for tie !oHf of having all views on every rubjen reservo consideration of the ''r r, solution and declarations.

FINAL STANDING OF TIIK CLUBS. P. XV. L. Cincinnati (N.I..B S 3 .625 Chicago (A. )....!! 3 3 .375 By a Staff Correspondent of Tnc Sun. Chicago, Oct. 9. Last year It was a fable, rivalling an \Esop master- piece. This afternoon It developed In- to a fact Incontrovertible. Only seven short months, ago It was a dream wilder than the most optimistic vision born of hasheesh. But ns the shad- ows lengthened over Comlskey Park to-d- it became a stern reality. The Cincinnati club of the National League Ilnally won the, baseball championship of the world. Vor forty years the Queen City had been Imagining how It would feel to attain this pinnacle, and now that Its hour of .supreme triumph has corao unfeeling men 'de- clare that nil tilings are possible. It was a raging, riotous, run thirsty lo't of Cincinnati players who defeated tho Chicago Americans for tho fifth time and brought the title to the Ohio metropolis.- - The scoro was 10 to G. Twice the Cincinnati men, with the all conquering victory In their grasp, had been turned back by the fighting Whlto Sox. Twice tho Heds, with four successes to their credit and only one more game needed to end the scries, had been forced to retreat, apparently in utter rout. Iteda Start Attack Knrly. This afternoon all the pent up wrath developed In that doublo dis- appointment was let loose by the Heds. They .began a terrific attack from tho first moment of their opening turn at bat and in Ave innings piled up enough runs to give them the game. Thus one of tho most Interesting com- petitions In the history of the world's series ended with Chicago defeated by five games to three, marking the first failure of the American League repre- sentatives of (his city in three fights for the title. Though defeated the \White Sox pu up a brave and game battle ; In spite of the big lead maintained by the Heds all the way Interest In the struggle was maintained, until the very last out had been made. The White Sox were, not willlngto let that prize slip from them, and when they were apparently out of the running and trailing the Reds so hopelessly that hundreds of onlookers left the park as early as the sixth In- ning they made a last bravo bid for the game. The Sox put over four runs in the eighth and raised the Chicago hopes from the dead. But soon the rally was over. - , Chicago still was four runs In the rear. Then came a tenth tally for Cin- cinnati In the eighth, and It was all over but for the shouting and the rush for the exits. Sox Ilopea Dished In I'lrat. The hopes of the White Sox got their death blow In the first Inning. Four runs were chalked up for 'Cincinnati In that session, in which every one of tho Heds got a turn at bat, fivo of them came through wllh hits, two of which were two baggers. Like a big, game boxer with a fighting heart the Chicago club staggered all over the ring, nut It would not throw up the sponge. It played for time to rally Us waning en- ergies, and for a time It succeeded In keeping the. Heds In check. Cincinnati got one run .In the second and a sixth tally in the fifth. Hut In the sixth Inning the world's champions In the making let loose their attack with renewed ferocity. Three more hits raroc off Hed bludgeons and three more runs were added to tho Cincinnati total. Again the staggering hulk which repre- sentrd Chicago stalled and held through a round and lu the cghth It staged Its last lighting rally. It was tho swan song of a club which had gone Into the series full of confi- dence which bordered on cockiness another overwhelming public choice which had failed in a year replete with disappointment for sporting favorites. So ht Chicago thinks of what might have been, while Cincinnati has become famous for another B . Ileer and baseball, one on the wane and the other very much on the rise. 10 lilts for Cincinnati. In all, the Cincinnati attack yielded sixteen hits, which Included three doubles, two of them by Uddle noush, nnd one three base hit. The Heds were guilty of two errors. Tho White Sox made ten hits, four of which did not come until that torrid eighth Inning. That session saw the arrival of two of tho three doubles credited to the men under the command of Kid Gleason. And, lt we forget, one of the Chi. cago hits wan a home run, an honest to goodlier four base smash by Joe Jack- son, which came with nobody on base In the third Inning and gavo the outfielder! (Continued on Twentieth I'.age.) BOYLE DRAFTED BY MURPHY FOR BOROUGHHEAD Tammany Selects Justice Long in Ranks for Man-- . hattan Presidency. WAS FRIEND OF M1TC1IEL Ho \Would Check Hylan-Hcar- st Plans and Bo Mayoralty . Candidate in 1321. Justice Hdward F. Boyle of the Mu- nicipal Court, who is chairman of the fexecutivc Committee of Tammany Hall, has been selected as the Demo- cratic candidate for President of the Borough of Manhattan to succeed Frank L. Dowling, who died ten days ago. This decision was reached at n meet- ing of tho executive committee at the Wigwam In Fourteenth street yester- day afternoon. It was reported that In asking Jus- tice Boyle to give up a Judgeship, which has nine years to run nt $8,000 ti year, to become a candidate for an otllce that pays only $7,500 a year, some assurances' were given to him by the leaders that ho might bo the candidate for Mayor in 1921, Charles F. Murphy and Justice Boyle himself, who possibly alone could confirm this story, refused to comment on It. It seems a plausible thing, however, that Tnmmany should desire to train up a candidate for the mayoralty nomination two years hence. Republican Going? Slowly. The Republican organization Is still canvassing the situation with the Idea of getting the highest type of man available to run for tho important office, which carries' with It membership and two votes In the Board of Estimate. With the six votes of Mayor Hylan and Comptroller Craig united for munic,- -, ipal ownership and other schemes for which William Randolph Hearst stands It is vital for Tammany Hall that the two votes of the President of the Bor- ough of Manhattan should be in the hands of a man who could always be counted on to play the Tammany rather than the Hearst game. The Tammany county committee, sitting as a borough committee, will ratify the selection of Justice Boyle at its October meeting. Representative Thomas F. Smith, the first choice of Mr. Murphy and the Inner circle, told the \Boss\' on Wednesday night that he would rather not take the designation. After a careful canvass of the situation yesterday morning it was decided that the best strategy would be found In the selection of Justice Boyle. Although he was Inclined to de- cline the honor he virtually was.drafted Mayor MKclirl Cave Him ORlcr, Justice Boyle is both a lawyer and a certified public accountant. He has been In tho service of the city for many years. For fifteen years he was In the \oflice of the Commissioner of Accounts and was chief accountant of that office when John Purroy Mltchel was Com- missioner of Accounts. When the late Mayor was elected President of tho Board of Aldormen on the fusion \ticket in 1909 he took Mr. Boyle with him as chief examiner In that office. When Mr. Mltchel became Collector of Customs for a short time Mr. Bojie was appointed chief of the transit bureau of the Public Service Commission by Chairman McCall. From there he became President of the Board of Elections by the decision of Tammany Hall. Still retaining friendly relations With Mayor IMltchel, Mr. .Boyle was appointed a City Magistrate by the Mayor In 1917. Early In 1918 Mayor Hylan elevated him to the Municipal Court jench to fill a vacancy and a year ago he was elected for a full ten year term. Justice Boyle for some years was Tammany leader of the old Sixteenth Assembly District, and upder the redi- sricting has been the leader of the north end of the Twelfth district, which, is the 'Murphy homo territory.

Tho Allied Tobacco League of America was organized yesterday In Cincinnati to promote the interests of tho tobacco Industry all over the United States nnd with the avowed nnd special purpose of waging n mili- tant light against the Women's Chris- tian Temperance Union and Its cam- paign for n constitutional amendment prohibiting tho growth, salo and use of tobacco. According to the an- nouncement of the organization of the league Issued by the Association Opposed to National Prohibitions, the league will Include In its membership growers, leaf dealers, warehouse men, manufacturers, jobbers nnd retailers of tobacco products, and bankers and consumers generally who may be in- terested In \defending their Individual rights against the activities of o propagandists everywhere.\ W. D. Spalding, president of the Cincinnati Leaf Tobacco Exchange, was elected president. Other officers are: Charles Whltrock, William S. Ooldenberg, secretary; George K. Engel, treasurer, and Em- met Orr, ofllclal organizer and Held secretary. D. II. Gale was named sec- retary of n temporary executive com- mittee, which Includes Emmett Orr, It. E.

The league will be Incorporated under the laws of Kentucky, the greatest tobac- co growing Stato in tho country, and tho main oflice will bo In Cincinnati. Subsidiary headquarters will be estab- lished In rifles nf the North. South. East and West, probably In Now York, San Francisco, Detroit and New Or- leans. In announcing the formation of the new organization and its determination to fight the W. C. T.

Special Cable Detinttch to Tns Son ronv the London Timet Service. Copyright, 1919, off rightt referred. Berlin, Oct. 9. The German long range cannon was manufactured at Es- sen. There was a great deal of specula- tion In Germany aa to the range, at which it would have to be fired to\ hit Paris. Artillery experts calculated that It would carry seventy-fiv- e kilometers (forty-fiv- e miles), but powder experts said the piece would carry a good deal inrther. Elaborate preparations were made for a test. This took place on the artillery training grounds nt Meppen, with the muzzlo of the big gun pointing north towaid East Frlesland, Numerous of artillery wero stationed at Intervals In the heathland east of IJmden to report the location of the shell upon Impact. When tho first round was fired, to ier body's amazement, none of the de- tachments made a report, and for some time the landing place of the shell re- mained a mystery. Three more rounds wero fired with the same negative re. suits, and the experts began to wonder whether the shells had descended any where at nil. It was discovered event- ually that all four rounds had burst on one ot the Frlesland Islands, a dlstanco of 120 kilometers (seventy-tw- o miles) fiom tho gun.

VIGOR OF YOUTH GIVEN TO AGED Dr. Voronoff Amazes French Surgeons With Experiments in Longevity. SAYS KESULTS AKE SUKE Transfer of Gland Rejuvenates .Old Men Declares Life Can Bo Extended. By a Staff Corretponetnt oT the Sex. Copyright, U19, off rightt reterved. Pams, Oct. 9. Dr. Serge Voronoff, formerly .connected with the Rocke- feller Institute and now head of the physiological laboratories of the Col- lege de France, whose experiments in grafting surgery have commanded great attention in the medical and scientific world, unfolded before the French. Congress of Surgery yesterday the results of an amazing series of experiments designed to restore youth nnd youthful power to the aged. So sensational appeared to be the results that Dr. Voronoff received an ovation from his colleagues. Vistas of perpetual youth seemed In a senso to bo opened up by. the latest develop- ments of grafting, which made such strides during the war under men like Vonoroff nnd Dr. Carrel, the latter being a closo friend of Dr. Voronoff. Dr. Vonoroff contends that he has re- stored youthful energy to a man of 80 years, giving him tho vitality and robustness of a young man, the subject showing all signs of an Intensified exist- ence, Tho doctor declares ho already has performed this operation on a num- ber of high French personages. Demand More Information. At the session yesterday, because of the engrossing Interest In tho subject. Dr. Vonoroff was accorded more time for his paper than was ever given be- fore In the history ot the institution, and at the end of his lecturo he was besieged by a company or savants cry- ing for more Information. ' The experiments he detailed, covering a course of three years. Involve the grafting of an Interstlclelle gland of 'a young male monkey onto an old man In whom the gland had become atrophied. The result seemingly was a marvellous restoration of youth, even the man's carriage and demeanor changing, ac- cording to the doctor. Old, animals upon which the experiment was first tried apparently were restored to youth. Dr. Voronoff conducted a series of ex- periments at the Rockefeller Institute In 1910. His 'subsequent experiments In France In this new Held attracted great attention. In these he was assisted by hls .wife, who was Evalyn Bostwlck of New York, who e'erved as a nurse during the Boer war and In the Sudan, and also on the western front. Describing his experiments to Thk Sun correspondent Dr. Voronoff said that If the line of Investigation ho has opened up Is persisted In It would have a considerable effect on the future of humanity In prolonging mental power and physical vigor of useful men. He said the laboratory experiments ho had made could be applied surgically with almost certain results. \Before applying this treatment to a human subject,\ he said, \I made ex- periments with 120 animals, including goats, sheep and bullocks. I transferred the Interstitial gland of the you.ng ani- mal to an old, decrepit one almost on the verge ot dea'th, nnd out of all the 120 experiments 1 obtained the same number of positive results. Tried It First on Monkeys. The next step was to apply the same theory to man. This gland, being vltnl to the male organism, It was naturally Impossible to transfer from man to man. This led me to go to the nearest species of monkeys which has-be- en used eo successfully in thyroid experiments. \Taking an Interstlclelle gland from a young and vigorous chimpanzee I graft- ed It onto a man 80 years old who was virtually In a state of decrepitude. After several months' convalescence the pa- tient showed a complete change. His shoulders became upright ; he walked stralghter and seemed to enjoy the phys- ical and mental powers of a man only 30 years old, \I have continued these experiments with other men with results that were astounding. This gland appears to con- tain a chemical secretion like strychnine, and to a veritable reservoir of energy, which when placed In tho old extends life.\ Dr, Voronoff was head of the surgical grafting division of the French army during the war, and the marvellous re- sults he obtained with French soldiers are to-d- In evidence throughout France. WALSH ASSAILS LEAGUE PLAN IN RINGING SPEECH Senate Galleries Applaud as He Calls Article X. DEMOCRATS LOSING HOLD Hitchcock Foresees Many Bal- lots Borah Seeks Source of Funds. Special Detpatch lo Tub Sun. Washington, Oct. 9. Senator \Walsh (Mass.) delivered y his long awaited speech on the peaco treaty It fully justified the interest with which It had been anticipated, for In addition to declaring his reasons for opposition td the treaty as It stands it proved one of the most able discussions of the pact, as well us one of the most elo- quent addresses, that havo marked the long debate. From the time when it became known several weeks ago that Mr. \Walsh tho llrst Democratic Senator from Massachusetts in nearly a cen- tury, was uncompromisingly opposed to the trenty and tho league covenant In many essential respects, his position has been recognized as of foremost Importance and Interest. To-da- y he demonstrated his rank. Seldom has any speaker held his audience in such closo attention as was paid to Mr. Walsh. It Is seldom that a speech, though it may consume tho sitting hours of the chamber, Is the real event, of a Sena- torial day, but tliat was the case to- day. Democrats and Republicans alike waived tho long established rule that speeches are inevitable but not to be listened to. This was ono of tho ex- ceptions when It was necessary to listen necessary because of tho polit- ical Importance of tho utterances, which Indicated that the Senator was going to support the Lodge reserva- tions and at least two of the pending amendments to tho treaty. Analyze Article X. In his analysis of Article X., for ex- ample, Mr. Walsh did one of the best pieces of work that has been accom- plished by any speaker on that hack- neyed subject. The galleries applauded dtspite the recent rigid order of the rule ugalnst demonstrations when be said : \In so far as I believe the text of the treaty and covenant before us conflicts with these principles I havo raised, and shall continue to raise, my voice In pro- test. I may bo misjudged, my motives questioned, as has been the lot of many members of the Senate who havo taken sides on this question, but whatever ma be the Judgment of my fellow men I at least shall have the satisfaction of knowing that by protesting against the Injustice of the Shantung provision and the dangers lurking In Article X. for America and the world I have not con- scientiously done anything to make It dllllcull for any American or any citizen of the world to say, as did Kossuth when he turned to the Ameilcan flag In Fanoull Hall, 'A flag without a stain; a country without a crime.' \ Ilcputillr mm Are Pleased, Aside from Senator Walsh's speech the day was devoted to the conferences among leaders in the treaty contest, out of which came little new light on the situation. Republicans were Intensely pleased with the Walsh address, because It was recognized as the straightforward declaration of a man willing to lead any of his party toward an Independent de- cision free from the partisan bonds 'that have been so tightly pressed down on the members of the Administration side of the Chamber. The disposition to recog- nize that there must be highly important modifications of the treaty before It can be ratified gained force Even Senator Hitchcock (Neb.) admitted for the first time that he anticipated a long series of votes cn many proposed reser- vations before agreement should' be reached. This admission was frankly mado dur-In- g a conversation about the parliamen- tary situation. 'Mr. Hitchcock declared that the Lodge reservations, even if they could muster the necessary 19 votes for adoption Into the resolution of ratifica- tion, would fall, because with them In tho resolution could not poll the neces- sary two-thir- to ratify. After that there would presumably come a vote on tho resolution to ratify without anr reservations. That falling It would then be necessary to vote on one proposed set ot reservations after another until nt length some formula should be pro- duced on which the necessary two-third- or 64 votes, should be polled. Many llnllots Foreseen, \I antlcipata there will be a very long series of votes before the agreement Is reached,\ said Hitchcock, \but of course It will bo finally reached. There will bo very many proposed forma of reservation offered In tho effort to reach something on which the necessary sup- port can be united, but there Is no chance to defeat the treaty Itself. The Senate will simply havo to keep on vot- ing on various forms of reservation un- til It gets to the point of agreement. That may take a long time but It will be accomplished.\ Among those who heard Senator Continued on .VtrinfA Pagt. \Flying Parson,\ Who Expects \ to Land at San Francisco To-Nig- h t, Meets Captain Smith at North Platte EIGHT MACHINES CRASH TO EARTH; BUT ONLY ONE AVIATOR IS HURT Heavy Rain, Strong Winds and Blinding Snow- storms Impede Fliers Twenty Machines Quit Maynard Makes 102.6 an Hour.
