TRACK FOR TRAINING
DRIVING CLUB MAY PUT ITS FAST
OVAL TO A DIFFERENT USE.
Races for Next Season Practically
Abandoned-The Lease from state
Grounds Association.

The indianapolis Driving Club has prac-
tically abandoned all thought of giving an
other race meeting. Last night occurred
the first business meeting of the club since
the last disastrous venture and the three
members present spent two hours n a
half in going over the discourag ing finances
OF the week. Messrs. Robinson, Taggart
and Graves were the members present,
Sterling +. Holt and H. NJ. Lafollette be-
ing absent from the city. An accurate foot
ing of the gate receipts for last week
showed the total amount to be ~$5,6lS.50. The
total sum in cash premiums paid out dur
ing the week aggregated $2S,00O While the
club realized considerable none from en-
trance fees, fines, etc., the excessively light
business of the week, the member say,
will necessitate making up a heavy deficit
They decline to say just how much money
the club lost on the weeks venture.
The future existence of the driving club
was discussed at length last night. The
three members present were of the opinion
that it would be folly to attempt to give
races next year and introduce features
that come enormously high. The experience
Of the last meeting has taught the club
that the indianapolis public demand the
OCOk OROAN "a ny III III Nph IN
track. It has also been demonstrated that
the Indianapolis public IL a capricious pub
lie and is not to be relied upon When the
driving club dwells Upon the painful fact
that. on last Thursday, a 81, 400 audience
applauded $1,000 worth of special attrac-
tons, the outlook is certainly not encour-
aging. Should Tire club again attempt to
give a race meeting, it's action Will be
solely due to the refusal of the State Board
Of Agriculture to release the club from its
contract. The State fair track was leased
three years ago by the driving club for a
term of five years. This phase of the diff
Guilty was discussed last night and 1t was
thought that perhaps the fair association
would be willing to declare the contract at
clineS to accept overtures in this direction
it is the opinion of Messrs. Graves, Rob-
inson and Taggart that the track could be
sublet for training purposes with more prof
1t to the club than the giving of another
race meeting. What the opinion of Messrs.
Holt and Lafollette may be upon the queS-
ton is not now
The secretary said, last night, that while
he was pretty confident that the weeks en-
tertainment just closed would be the last
ever given by the Indianapolis Driving
Club, he would not like it to go out as
positive information until the views of the
other member of the club have been cam
vassed. The club desires it stated that il
has none but the best of feeling for the In
dianapolis public and press. 1t blames no
one for the disastrous week and is thank
full for the patronage that 1t did receive.

confined in the county jail, there was a
rush of curious people to see him.. Though

They Are Certified to the United States
District Attorney.
Vice President Stevenson yesterday after
noon sent to the United States District at
torney a certificate that Elisha ]. Edwards
and John 8. Shriver. the uncommunicative
witnesses before the Senate sugar investi-
eating committee. had refused to answer
certain questions. Beyond referring to and
appending a copy Of the committees report
to the Senate. the Vice President made no
comment on the fact to which he certified.
In the afternoon the investigating commit
tee examined Senators Harris and Mills and
Secretary Carlisle. The Secretary denied
explicitly all the charges made in Mr.. Ed

Of the members Of the committee, and using
their figures, put a sugar schedule into
shape, as he did other paragraphs in the
bill. This the Secretary said he had done.
He declared that he had not made such q
visit as that he was represented as making
to the committee to demand that the sugar
interest be cared for In the tariff bill be-
cause OF the democratic party's obligation
to the sugar trust.
Both Senators Harris and Mills denied any
knowledge Of the operations of the sugar
trust In connection with legislation, as they
also denied that Mr.. Carlisle had asked
protection for sugar. Senator Mills was
asked X 1t were true as had been reported
that Mr. Carlisle had given Mr.. Havemeyer
OF the sugar trust a letter of Introduction to
himself. He said this was a fact, but that
he had declined to receive the letter.

Tho Baltimore Convention Fsvors Wash
ington Bishop.
Debating the Question of Dividing the
Maryland Diocese of the Protest.
ant Episcopal Church.

Diocesan division principally occupied the
attention yesterday Of the convention of the
Maryland diocese, Protestant Episcopal
Church. which is in session at Baltimore
The afternoon session was spent In reach
ing the conclusion that division is advisable
as recommended last year in Bishop Parets
address and reported on favorably by a
committee appointed for that purpose.
Questions of lines Of division, the division
of funds and the securing Of additional
funds for the support Of the two episco-
pates occupied the delegates at the night
session.
Rev. Arthur Powell of Baltimore read the
report of the committee advocating division
He said: This diocese ancient. high and
honorable in the counsels Of the church.
is conspicuous in its annals for strength
clerical, numerical and financial. Ten years
ago 1t had III clergymen, today there are
1871; Loco were confirmed the year previous
to that report, last year 2.2S4 were con-
firmed; communicates then numbered 3d.
$780, now about 10000; offerings have in
creased $3S,5OO.
1.-The diocese is too large for one man
fully to administer to it's POS places of
worship. The work is stupendous in results.
Better divide and have two vigorous bishops
than go on for a decade and have the need
of an assistant bishop. with doubling of ex-
pense without greatly increasing the eff
Cheney We should not make our bishop an
ecclesiastical pack-horse.
1.-The two great centers Of the present do
cese with large missionary populations and
Jurisdictions, would enable two bishops to
do full justice to their duties without the
bishops being mere confirming machines or
administering agents. The second city in
the diocese Is the national city of the
country. 1t requires more care and states
manship than even Baltimore"
The question of division was discussed by
various delegates.
After voting down a substitute resolution
and amendments, which were substantially
subsequently, discussed, the convention de-
cided almost unanimously that division of
the diocese Is advisable
Territory of the New Diocese.
The division as decided upon at the night
session sets off Washington and the Dis
trict of Columbia, together with the Mary
land counties of Prince Georges, st. Mary's
Charles and Montgomery. This territory
was proposed by Rev. DR.. r. H. Mckim in
place of the one recommended by the COM
mittee. which added Calvert, Anne Arundel
and Howard counties to the new diocese.
DR.. McKim stated that the division ad-
vised by the committee would require $1,000
for missions, with only about 1900 collect
able, while the division afterward adopted,
he added, would more equally divide this
burden.
Mr.. Skipwith Wilmer proposed putting
Calvert in the Washington diocese, but this
amendment was defeated
Rev. DIR. James A. Buck said he was pres
emit in Washington when division Of the do
cese was first talked Of a quarter Of GEN.
