Expected to Be Broken,

NEW YORK, Dec. Cat 1915 a. m.

in nine columns, four men in EACH Hale,
the winner of last years contest, led the
first lap, and Rice, who came second in last

miles in 4:G2 20 before the big event was
started. He tied his Chicago indoor record.
Twelve thousand people cheered the riders
at the opening.
Three hours before the time for starting
fully three thousand persons interested in
the contest were gathered in Madison
square Garden. Every few minutes the
gathering was enlarged by persons anxious
to see the men down on the programme
start in what will probably be a record
smashing race. The contest which is an
nOunced as for the championship of the
world, will last 142 hours. A dozen nation
altties are represented among those entered
in the big race. The speediest distance men
to compete are Teddy" Hale, who won in
1896, with a score of 1,910 miles to his credit;
Joseph S. Rice, of Wilkesbarre, Pa, who
fed himself on pie and ice cream while he
covered 1882 miles in last years contest;
Ned Redding, of the United States army,
stationed at Fort Omaha; Albert Shock,
the German who has ridden in more six-day
contests than any living man: CASTOR
Rivierre, the Frenchman who has ridden 537
miles in day; Fred Titus, the middle-dis-
lance speeder; Peter Golden, the old-time
six-day walker and amateur champion dis
lance runner, and a host of the fastest rid
ers in the world. The American Cycle Rae
ing Association, which is managing the
race, has offered $4,000 in prizes, to be di
vided among the best eleven men at the
finish. The winner will get $1,000 and the
championship of the world.

the mile and is banked seven feet at the

The president today furnished the SEN

published in the newspapers, had been
officially given out either in answer to
congressional resolutions, or in the Brit

that the ultimate coming together of the
two governments was brought about by
personal interviews between Secretary
Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote No

IT'S EASY TO WRECK TRAINS
In the Opinion of a Cross.Eyed Geor.
gia Fiend
Confesses to Having Caused the Caha-
ba Bridge Disaster, Intending
to Rob the Passengers

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1S.-A special
to the mesDemocrat from Atlanta
says: Sam Palatka. cross-eyed, fiend
in expression, revolving in countenance,
has confessed to having perpetrateG the
horrible Cahaba bridge disaster, which
occurred three weeks ago in Alabama
Stolidly and with immovable lines OF
criminal harshness on his face, he ad-
mits that, single anded, he sent thirty
five persons to a horrible death and
wounded ard manned a score more.
There were no romantic reasons back
of the work of this courageous coward,
a man who dared discovery. which in
Alabama meant certain death, to drive
a train to destruction in order to obtain
a few dollars.
Palatka was arrested in EatontOn,
Putnam county. in middle Georgia. His
first captorS believed him half-Witted, as
he gave himself away. Those in charge
of him today in Atlanta, as he is on his
way to Alabama, say he is absolutely
reckless and entirely without human
feelings. To-Day he spoke of the fearful
wreck with no sign of emotion.
Il did it, said Palatka. II wanted
money. It's nobody's business what l
wanted it for. | say this for the benefit
of those who want to wreck trains. 1t
was easy. 1t is just as easy to wreck

WILL BEGIN WORK AT ONCE
City Engineer VIII at Once Proceed to
Make the Necessary Estimates

City Engineer DockMeiler was seen
by Herald reporter shortly after the
adoption of the water supply commit
tees report, and when told of the coun-
ellis action Said that no time would be
lost in his department. He would at once
go to work, and he thought that with the
data already in his possession, the ap-
proxif1Ate estimates as asked for could
be pf@pared inside of thirty days. He
would of course utilize all of his regular
+. force that could be spared, and would put
on such extra men as are needed. the
expense of getting up these estimates, he
said, he did not think would exceed $1,000
to $500.
= Mr.. Dockweier it will be remem-
bered prepared plans and estimates for
a water system in 1891. Two plans were
submitted. One to cost, complete, S3,
277, ,000, and another to cost $2996, COO
When asked if these plans could not be
utilized. Mr.. Dockweiler said that they
could to a limited extent. but conditions
had changed since that time, and he
did not feel justified in giving out any
thing officially on those figures. In the
first place large amount of territory
had been annexed to the city, and this
territory would have to be provided for
in any permanent system of waterworks
to be constructed. Then, too, iron water
pipe was much cheaper now than at that
time. In the estimates of 1891 the fig
ures were based on iron pipe at $44 a
ton. Pipe was now cheaper than at any
time in the history of the country, and
he believed pipe could now be laid down
in Los Angeles at $2S a ton. Then, too,
labor was cheaper, and this would cut
some figure. Mr.. Dockweiler declined
to give any estimate off hand but he
said that the people could rest assured
that he would no his duty and that 10
time would be lost in his department.

IN THE HOUSE
Three Bills of Public Importance Passed
District Day

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The house
passed three bills of public Importance
and devoted the remainder of the day
to District of Columbia business. One
prohibited the sale of Intoxicating liu-
ors to Indians, one amended the existing
patent laws, in conformity with the rec
concentrations of the American Bar as
sociation and another provided for the
use by the government of patents secured
by naval officers at compensation to be
fixed by board of three officers.
The attendance in the house was very
light today dull session being antici-
pated. Arrangements had been made
whereby the day be given to business re-
ported by the committee on the District
of Columbia. There was the first gen.
eral call for committees.
From the committee on Indian affairs
the bill to prohibit the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors to Indians was called up and
occasioned some debate. The bill i'm
poses a fine of 800 and imprisonment for
sixty days upon any person who shall
sell intoxicating liquors of any kind
whatever to any Indian to whom an al
lotment of land has not been made, while
the title is held in trust by the govern
ment. Maddox, Democrat of Georgia,
argued that the bill was unconstitu-

Mr.. Henderson submitted from the
committee on rules a resolution which
was made setting aside tomorrow for
the consideration of private pension bills
and limiting the debate on each bill to
ten minutes.
A bill was passed authorizing the ST.
ezra Madre Construction company to
construct brige across the Rio Grande
at Ell Paso.
The bill to amend the patent laws was
called up by Mr. Draper of Massachu-
setts, Republican, who explained that
it had been prepared by a committee ap-
pointed by the American Bar association
to urge a revision of the patent laws.
None of the changes proposed by the
bill. Mr.. Draper said. were of a radical
character, but they were those making
foreign patent two years old impatient
able in this country, placing a general
limitation of six years on patents and
empowering the commissioner of patents
if he has reason to believe that an ap-
plcant is not prosecuting his claim with
sufficient vigor-to produce final proof
within six months. The bill passed.
Another bill from the same committee
was passed providing for the use by the
United States of the devices covered by
letters of patent hereafter issued to Of
ficers of the navy. Mr. Fairchild, ir
charge of the bill. said it was now in the
power of an officer who had secured a
patent, to deprive the United States of
its use except on his own terms. The
bill provides for a board of three naval
officers to determine the terms or rate of
compensation for the use of the patent

the United States could hope to make the
canal an American institution. If cos
gress failed to avail itself of this pr,-
vate concession. 1t would sacrifice iss
only hope to carry out the great doc
trlne that the canal should be an Amer
lean concern.
Mr.. Morgan here referred incidentally
to the new Anglo-American peace
treaty. 1t related, he said. to differences
which might arise between the United
States and Great Britain. These ques-
tions, Mr. Morgan said, indicated the
need of calling up this Nicaragua canal
bill at once, He wanted to see what
Great Britain would do after congress
passed this bill. and then he would know
what differences existed.
The senator declared there was mot
one speck of dust on this proposition; 1t

the great results to flow from the con-
Struction of the canal
