IRISH LAD HEADS THE LIST IN
THE SIX-DAY WHEEL
RACE.
SCH0CH SHOWS WEAKNESS.
VETERAN SAYS, HOWEVER, HE
WILL BE IN 1T AT THE
FINISH.
RUNNING AHEAD OF THE RECORD.
Thirteen Hundred Miles to the
Credit of the Leader Early in
the Evening.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1O-The attend
ance at the Madison Square garden to-
night was large, and an increasing in
terest was shown in the six-day bicy-
Gle event. At Z o'clock, ninety-one
hours after the start, Hale was more
than 124 miles ahead of the best previ-
Gus record at the garden, made by
Schoch, In 1893, his distance for the
same time being Ito miles At 7:36,
Hale finished ], 300 miles, and the per-
Romance was greeted with wild enthu-
siasm.
Schoch went off at 9 o'clock, though
he had returned to the track only
few minutes before, and there was talk
that he showed signs Of collapsing,
but the veteran declared that he would
stay to the end and finish in the front
rank.
During the evening, Champion Eddie
Bald rode a mile paced by the ttblack
and white tandem in 2:18 1-5 The
event of the night was the ten-miIe
race between Linton, of Wales, and
Frank Starbuck, of Philadelphia. The
two men started from opposite sides
of the track. In the fourth lap STAR
buck fell and Linton stopped, saying
he was unwilling to win the race by
an accident. The race was begun
again. Starbuck won in twenty-five
minutes two seconds and one-fifth.
The attendance this afternoon was
unusually large. Hale, who had rested
during the morning and early after
noon, came out shortly after o'clock,
and, with Maj" Taylor, who shows
wonderful recuperative powers, raced
around the oval for a couple of fast
miles. Comparison with the score at
o'clock-the eighty-seventh hour
showed that nine of the contestants
were ahead Of the best previous rec
ord Of 1923 miles made by Walter
Hale led this record by not quite lis
miles.
Teddy Hale was still in the lead this
morning. The positions of the other.
contestants were little changed, ex-
cept that Rice, who had been crowding
him, had fallen back to third man.
Forester going to second. Next came
Schoch, Taylor, Reading and Moore
who were not very far behind, and
the others struggled along down to
Mcleod, who was 403 miles behind the
leader at 8 O'Clock. Hale, Rice and
Reading have upset the calculations
of the talent, who yesterday declared
that another twenty-four hours would
see all three out of the race Hale
refutes this prophecy by the ease and
6moothness with which he travels and
Forester looks good enough to last the
whole six days.
A squirt between Hale and Maddox
enlivened the race for the afternoon.
The other riders seemed to take little
interest in affairs about them. Nc
Leod, the tail-ender, looked utterly
tagged out. Cannon was saddle sore
Cassidy rode with his chest resting
on a huge pillow, and Ashinger went
with apparent effort. Reading was not

JACKSON WILL BE PORN AGAIN.
Energies From States Prison Jan. ]
After a Long Confinement.

JOLIET, ILL.,, Dec. 4.-On New Years day
Louis Jackson convict in the penitentiary
will be released, after serving twenty-seven
years and seven months in prison.
He was sent here from Washington county
Illinois, June /, 1869, but his sentence was
committed The prisoner had no money, no
murder committed near Nashville, Ill.,. where
he shot Benjamin Raney, farmer. Jackson
was only eighteen years old at the time, and
1t is said, was led to believe by the David
Dempsey family, where he lived, that Raney
would kill him on sight. jackson and Raney
happened to meet one day when out hunting,
and for fear OF his own life jackson shot
Raney.
For fifteen years attorneys have been try
ing to secure Jackson's release. Five thou
sand two hundred and eighty-nine convicts
had been received at the prison before he
came and all of these have served their
tim, been pardoned escaped, or have been
sent to the asylum for insane. Over II 900
eonyicfs have arrived at the prison since
Jackson came, many for the second third and
fourth time. He Is still compelled to labor
away and until the past two years his chances
for release were poor.
Jackson has been good convict for over
twenty-seven years, and has learned several
trades, in one OF which he has been promised
work as soon as his release is secured His
eyes have bothered him somewhat of late
otherwise he Is we'll, and does not show the
wear Of SO long a confinement. He has no
relatives living. The judge states attorney

very buoyant of manner and Maddox
was putting heavily.
Hale completed 1900 miles at 1899,
f1ve minutes later turning in for rest.
Rice, who had been taking another
breathing spell, came back about this
time. He was then over sixty miles
behind the leader and twelve miles
behind Forester. He made for the
flying Dutchman and passed hm half
dozen times with the evident inten-
ton of regaining second place.
At o'clock Friday morning the score was !:

AGAINST THE READING.
Attorney General of Pennsylvania
May Bring Action.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec. 1G.-Attor-
ney General Mccormick may bring suit
against the reorganized Reading rail-
road to determine whether it is a bona
fde corporation. The Reading COM
pany claims to act under a charter
granted by special act OF the assembly
in 1871, with large and unlimited pow
ers. BY the constitution, which be-
came operative Jan. /, 1874, all pri-
vate charters under which bona fide
organizations had not been effected
and business commenced at that time
We're declared void.
The attorney general has been led to
believe that the charter of the Read
ing company fell under that provision
of the constitution and that possibly an
attempt was being made to avoid an
other provision forbidding joint owner
ship or control of mining corporations
and railroad corporations.
