bicycle records were smashed at Exposi-

lard set out to lower the half mile record
OF 1.13. He was paced by Steel and
Rhodes. He started off at killing pace
and held it clear through, making the half
mile in 1.12.
Then John s. johnson started in to
lower his own record of 230 for a
mile. He was paced by Ballard, Rhodes
and Steel. When the time keepers hung
out the figures 2.26, Johnson was enthus-
iastically applauded.
w. A. Rhodes then took shy at the
five-mile record. He was paced by Bal =
lard, Steel, Leonard and Johnson. He
started of at almost his speediest gait and
never wavered foot during the race. He
seemed as fresh at the end as before he
started. The former record for five miles
was 1929. Rhodes made it yesterday in
1906. He also sandwiched in new records
for two, three and four miles. Following
are the figures for each mile: First mile,
2.35; two miles, $40; three miles, 7.4i;
four miles, 1925; and five miles, 1906.

They VIII Bear on Wages, Prices, Trans

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Senator Aldrich
telegraphed yesterday that he could not
be here when the Senate convenes, but he
will probably be in his seat by the first Of
the week. He has been at work for some
days preparing the report to be submit
Ted, perhaps next week, on wholesale
prices and wages, covering a period OF
iifty years.
The statistical part OF. this report has
been compiled by the departme of la
Dor, and much OF the material is now in
the hands OF the printer. The report will
be similar to that made at the last session
on the retail trade and wages. The third
partial report on transportation will
speedily follow, and after that will be,
perhaps, the most interesting document
OF the series, the conclusions OF the mem
bers of the committee. So far as the state
ment OF facts and figures is concerned,
the committee agree; but there is a wide
divergence of views on the conclusions
that are based upon those figures, and the
reports OF the minority and majority
members will form some of the most in
teresting literature contributed during
the Fifty-second Congress.
