LEADEN MONEY IN CIRCULATION YOCNO MAN BOUND OVER AS COUNTERFEITER. Given Preliminary With Secret Ser? vice Operative Pressing- Charge?-J. D. Til you of Florence la Defendant. Columbia, Oct. 11.?J. D. Tllyou, a young white man of Florence, was brought before Beverly 81<?an, United States commissioner, yesterday for a preliminary hearing on a charge of having passed counterfeit money. Francis II. Weston, United States dig* | trict attorney, and V v IS. Thomas, a secret service operativ?, ulleged that last Saturday Tllyou parsed two counterfeit specie dollars In stores In Colum bia. Tllyou was be und over to November federal court and bond set at 11,000. / Mrs. A. B. Howard, who runs a store on Pulaskl street, swjre that a man fitting the description of Tllyou came Into her place last Saturday night and made a I? cent purchase, tendering a specio dollar In payment. She said that she gave hin, 95 cents In change and he left. Mm. Howard says that he or the man who was with him then went Into the store of Leila Wells, two doors aw iy. Leila Wells swore that Tllyou she posi? tively Identified him) cam i into her store about the time Mis. Howard says he left hers and made a 5 cent purchase, and gave her a specie dol? lar, and that she gave him 8 5 cents In change. Both women swore that they did not have a specie dollar In their cash until they took in tho counterfeit. The exchange of th? money Is said to have taken place about 9 o'clock Saturday night. Shortly after that Joe Wells, husband of Lei1 la, came home and discovered the spurious dol? lar. Pretty soon after that. Wells gays, Tflydu and another man came by their store and his wife said that iTUyeu was the man who hnd given little while after his wife ha 3 taken In the lead foliar and that Soon Tll? you came In and asked for a match. Sunday morning Howard discovered that he also had a lead dollar and he and Wells laid the matter before Po? liceman W. F. Ricks. Hicks called Detective Strickland and they, upon Leila Wells' identification, arrested Tllyou. Chief of Police J. W. Rich? ardson immediately bctran work on the case, but decided that It was a matter for the federal authorities,, so he notified Secret Service Ofneer Thomas of Charlotte, who immediate? ly came to Columbia and took charge of the case.

Tllysu was born at Florence and has spent all his life In Florence and vicinity. He and his family are well known there. During the trial the prosecution de? cided to arrest also as an acomplice, J.

Believed That German U-Boat Raider Made Clean Get Away. Newport, Oct. 10.?The German submarines which sank six ships Sun? day is believed to have made a clean getaway. Although the British ami French warships arc searching for the raiders far out to sea, It is not believ? ed they can be captured. It is now practically certain that only two sub? marines participated in the raid, U-5i and U-61. The latter may have been acting merely as supply ship for the former.

DODGERS BAT WAY TO VICTORY. BROOKLYN DEVELOPS NECES? SARY PUNCH AT HOME. Red Sox Give Great Battle?Both World Series Contenders Forced to Cse Two Pitchers hi Third Contest. New York, Oct. 10.?Firmly en? trenched within their own grounds tho Brooklyn Nationals turned upon the Boston Americans today and j wrested victory from the Bed Sox by A score of 4 to 3 in the third game of the world's series. True to their predictions, the Su perbas, playing at Kbbets field, prov? ed far more formidable than when under the spell of Boston's cold dis? dain. Twice deprived of victories after-thrilling battles ..t Braves field, they finally arose in their might this afternoon and with plaudits of the i home fans ringing in their ears they batted out a victory with savage vig? or, swinging their bludgeons with such effectiveness that neither the pitching staff nor che stonewall de? fense of the Bed Sox could hold them In check. Hits rang off their bats with the snap and deadliness of exploding shrapnel, and while the In? vaders made a determined resistance, they were forced to bow to the supe? rior playing of the winners. As a result of Brooklyn's triumph, their supporters' joy and hopes reach? ed great heights and the victory was followed by one of the most extra | ordinary celebrations over seen upon a world's series battle field. Hardly I had Stengel clutched Lewis' lowering fly for the final out of the game, than thousunds of rooters came troop? ing onto the diamond and outfield where they appeared to be carried away with the enthusiasm of con? quest. Men and boys with here and there feminine companions, capered and danced about with joy, while the bands were assembling for the march |^^^^|||^^ gan a parade that grew in imitation of the college snake dance, while the more sedate of the spectators cheered and yelled. Flags and ban? ners were hurled onto the Held, fol? lowed by cane seat cushions, until the air was filled with flying objects. Across the field, the Royal Rootors of Boston, undaunted by defeat or by the thousands of their rivals, struck up the famous "Tessle" song and march and soon the park was filled with parading battalions. After a number of manoeuvers the adherents of the two clubs met In midfield and after an interchanKe of cheers, good naturcdly bombarded each other with cushions. The demonstration made up in part for the lack of thrilling features which lifted the first two contests of the se? ries out of the ranks of ordinary base? ball conflicts. There was missing in the third game the tenseness and sen? sational individual play which dom? inated the clashes at Braves' field. Brooklyn jumped Into the lead in today's contest and was never headed, although the Boston club crept up to within a run of tying the score In the closing innings. Neither was the game marked by super excellent base? ball, but Brooklyn won and with the hope that the team would repeat to? morrow, that was entirely sufficient for their supporters. In contrast with the Boston games, that of today was played in opol, crisp weather and overcoats . were necessary for comfort to the spectators in all but the sunny i left field stands. Jack Coombs, already a veteran of two world's series with the Philadel? phia Athletics, came in for unstinted praise both for his splendid twirling in the early Innings of the game and later for his self abnegation in re? questing to be relieved when he 'elt himself slipping and realized that to remain in the box might entail defeat for his teammates. Until the seventh inning Coombs held the Bed Sox to six hits and two runs, but when Larry Gardner lifted the ball over the right tield wall for B home run Coombs realized that he wa3 losing his cunning. His teammates urged him to remain in the gams, but ihe Kcnnebunk (Mc.) hurler was firm n his determination and was Anally ?eplaced by Pfeffer, who held the one run lead Coombs had given him until he end, Boston being helpless and lit less before his delivery. Carl Mays, the underhand twirler selected by Manager Carrigan to ho!:! .he Su pcrbas in check, was less for unate for the Robinson clan fell upon ds offerings with a freedom that they tAd not displayed against either Shore ?r Ruth, They garnered seven hits nd four runs before llenriksen went > bat for him in the sixth, and Foster . eplaced him on the mound when the I WILL W COLUMBIA.

Foster was reached for three hits but Brooklyn was unable to turn them into runs. All told, Brooklyn got 10 hits for a total of 14 bases, while Boston rolled up an aggregate of 12 bases with seven hits. m}\ Hooper, Shorten and Gardner were the heavy batters for the lied Sox. Hooper acquired two hits, one a triple; Shorten, playing in his first world se? ries, gathered three hits in four trips to the plate and Gardner made his ono hit count when he drove the ball over the wall for a circuit trip. Capt. Jake Daubert was the batting star of the Superhas, collecting three hits in four times at bat after going tluough the lirst two games without, connecting safely, His final blow eras delivered In the sixth inning when he drove the ball to the extreme end of the left field foul line where LoUrfls corralled it in a corner between two bleacher^ stands. Daubert was sprinting around sec? ond when the fielder clutched the sphere and had turned third when Scott in deep short received the throw. The latter Whipped it to Themas at the plate just as Daubert slid in with what he thought was a home run. Umpire O'Doy, however, divide J that the runner had not touched th<? plate and the Brooklyn players and fans roared their disapproval of the decision without effect. Daubert w\is given credit for a three base hit by the official scorers and had to be sat Isefld with that.
