LONDON, Oct. 13.
German forces, sweeping across Bel
gium toward Ostend, still are un
checked. Bruges Is reported bom
barded and Ghent has been occupied.
Bruges Is 14 mllosfrom Ostend. .
Official announcement from Paris
ndmlts tho Germans have captured
Lille, where fighting has been continual
for almost two weeks. French claim
euccesses In other parts of the line.
Reinforced Allies continue to con
centrate near Ostend to check the dan
gerous movement by the. German army
of tlie north.
Although not officially confirmed by
the Press Bureau there Is no doubt hero
of tho truth of the reported occupation
of Ghent by tho Gorman forces. The
city Is only 12 miles southeast of Loke
ren, where It was known that the Ger
mans were concentrat-1 In force.
The feat of tho Belgian Government
hereafter will be Havre, France, ac

columns of all arms passing through
Ballleul, in tho French department of
the Nord, in the direction of Ypres,
Which is 26 miles south of Ostend.
Around Ypres tho Germans have con
centrated in heavy numbers.
That tho Allies themselves believe
yhe Germans will be able to take
Ostend if they can get their heavy
eiego guns In range of tho city is in
dicated by a dispatch to the Times,
which says that by the end of tho
week 100,000 refugees from Belgium will
have been landed in England.
"If the Germans surround Ostend on
tho land side and lay siege to tho city
successfully !t is believed that tho
troopa defending the port will be placed
on board transports when it comes time
to escape, and will likely be taken to
nn English port. Tho wreck of the
Belgian army, under King Albert, is
now in Ostend, according to unofficial
reports from across the Channel.
The Standard's Ostend correspondent
feaya that German spies are being ar
rested in Ostend every day. One Ger
man officer, wearing the Belgian uni
form, was arrested and mobbed In the
Rue de la Chappelle. Another, dis
guised ns a peasant, wasarrested while
taking notes.
Five thousand of the British marines
"who helped In tho defense of Antwerp
have returned to England. It is stated
by them that the commander of one of
the Belgian forts was discovered to be
Jn the employ of the Government and
was shot, and that the explosion of the
magazine of Fort "Wavre-St. Catherine
was caused by a German spy.
Uhlans are reported to have reached

as well as his own force.
Bombardment of the Vcrdun-Toul
lino of forts has been renewed with

the situation. If this fortress is unable
to withstand the big siege guns, tho
Allies' right and centre will be in peril.

ern Poland. If confllctlnc statements
from Berlin and Petrograd are to bo
credited. Russians report J demolition
of German artillery near Lyck. Ger
mans report a steady advance Into the

A nation-wide scheme to defraud Insur
ance companies, already Involving mor
than 1CO,000, according to officials of the
State Insurance Department of Penn
sylvania and representatives of several
insurance companies, resulted In the hold
ing today of Louis Seiger, of 531 North
Marshall street. In J1500 ball for court by
Magistrate Tracy,
'Seiger was arrested last week and held
for a further hearing today. The specific

Company of Chicago. An official of this
concern charges that Seiger substituted
a robust woman to undergo a physician's

valid and who Is expected to die at any
moment. He then Insured the ailing
woman for 13000.
The woman Insured Is Mrs. Bertha Ep

'I'M A MAN OF PEACE, BUT IF TPIEE SAYS
SIX ATTENDANTS
ATKIRKBRIDE'SHELD
FOR PATIENT'S DEATH
Deputy Coroner Says One of
Them is Guilty of the
Murder of Henry C. Hum
mell. Six attendants at the Pennsylvania
Hospital for the Insane, familiarly
known aa "KIrkbrldo's." were held with
out ball for the Grand Jury today by
Deputy Coroner Sellers on a charge of
manslaughter, as tho result of bruises
found on the body of Henry C. Hummell.
31 years old, of 413 North 52d street. Hum
mel died at the institution October 5 after
being an Inmate there for a year.
All six of the prisoners testified, but
failed to give any definite Information.
Their answers to questions were hazy and
vague. When the last man had been
heard, Coroner Sellers said:
'"This Is a murder. One of you men
has committed this crime, and until it Is
proven which of you la guilty all must be
held accountable, because you were Hum
mell's attendants.
The prisoners, all of whom live at tho
hospital, are Dennis Kelly. James Dallas,
Martin Giblen, Edward J. Breslln,
Michael Connelly and Arthur Greenway.
Startling testimony was given by rela
tives of the dead man.
BODY COVERED WITH BRUISES. '
According to Mrs. Ethel Fray, of 5106
Spruce street, a sister, and Ellwood It.
Hummell, a brother, the body when it
was sent homo from the asylum for
burial was covered with bruises. There
was also a deep mark over one of the
eyes.
Hummell testified that he visited his
brother at the hospital every 10 days
and never saw him in a violent condi
tion. He declared that his brother frequently
complained of 111 treatment, but as he
never showed him any of the marks he
thought It was a hallucination. Mrs.
Hummell's testimony was substantially
the same. She declared her brother told
her several times that he had been sVvere.
jy beaten. She, also, denied that she bad
ever seen him In a violent condition.
Before his mind became unbalanced
Hummell was a civil engineer in the em
ploy of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. He was financially well to do.
About one year ago his mental condition
was declared hopeless, and relatives took
the advlco of the family physician to
send him to the hospital.

of Directors as the Pennsylvania Hon

The men are kept In the western sec

"FATHER. I'LL DIE HERE."
William Hummell, father of tho dead
man, testified at the Inquest today that
his son said to him:
"Father I'll die here; take me out"
The father testified that he saw a mark
on his son's head on one visit he paid to

By HAL SHERIDAN
FENWAY PARK, Boston, Oct. 13,-The-Boston
Braves thin nfternoon won the
championship of the world. They defeat
ed tho Athletics by a ecore of 3 to 1 nnd
thus performed tho unprecedented feat of
winning n world's series in four straight
games. By this performance they earned
more than ever their title of the "Miracle
Men." Hnvlng risen from the bottom of
the National League to first place be
tween July and September the great vic
tory of tho Braves is a fitting climax to
the most wonderful season a baseball
team ever enjoyed.
To two pitchers goes the credit for the
defeat of the Athletics, Rudolph nnd
Jnmos get the credit for the nuartet of
victories. Both of Rudolph's were clcnn
cut, his last coming today. James won a
sensational game Saturday, holding the
Athletics to two hits. He then got credit
for yesterday's game, relieving Tyler
w'hen the score was tied.
From start to finish the Braves have
outhlt, outgamed, outgeneraled and out

The Braves took their game away this
afternoon in the fifth inning, after two
men were out. Rudolph started the rally
iiicn on nis own game with a single.
Moran followed with a double and when
Evers shot one to safe territory both
Rudolph and Moran dashed across.
Rudolph did not pitch as great a same
today as that of last Friday, but It was
good enough to beat the Athletics. He
was hit steadily up to the fifth Inning.
One safe blow was registered off his de
livery In each of the first three Innings.
In the fourth and fifth he was touched
for two hits. Only Shawkey's double,
however, in the fifth after Barry had
singled, scored a run. In the next four
Innings only 12 men faced Rudolph. He
disposed of the Athletics In order, fan

game was put away.

and all Boston took the lid off.
The game today was the fastest of the
series. It was played In 1 hour and 43
minutes Tho work of the Braves' in
field was faster today than in any game
of the series, nnd they have been like
greased lightning from the start. Walsh
was picked off second base after getting
i base on balls and advancing on a wild
pitch. This plav, engineered by Gowdy
and Evers, zipped through with the speed
of o, bullet. Maranville absolutely robbed
Collins of a hit in the sixth Innlnir hn
he dashed back of second, grabbed Col
lins' liner with one hand and shot it
to first.
The Braves appeared at 15.30 and start
ed their batting practice for the tussle,
which they hoped would bring them tha
world s basebill title. The Athletics ap
peared somewhat later. The Slack forces
weie given a royal welcome by the fans.
Rudolph was the only Brave pitcher
warming while Boston was having Infield
practice. When the Athletics took tho
field, Shawkey warmed up for Connla
mock. He was putting lots of stuff on
the balls thrown to Lapp. Ira Thomas
stood by for a time and watched his work
It seemed Shawkey would be Mark's
choice.
By 1 o'clock there were about 11,000 in
tho outfield bleachers. The majority
were bundled up in overcoats. Those, who
were not shivered and shook In the faco
