custody yesterday afternoon. A telegram
from Boston in reply to Chief McDer-
motifs, which told of Rays arrest, stated
that Houston had already been arrested.
Ray insisted that he was from New
York, but his appearance Tailed in every
particular with the description of Hous-
ton sent out by the Boston police, so that
the authorities were about positive that
he was the man. His right hand was
missing, having been cut off just above
the wrist; his size weight and a scar on
the forehead all corresponded with the de.
scription of Houston.
Chief McDermott wired New York also
to see If he could find anything of Ray
in that city. In reply. he heard that such
a man had opened a physicians office,
styling himself DR. Lambert, but left after
a week. When Ray was in the barracks

Boston, but he produced a very strong

WILL HAVE TO BE RUN OVER.
The Judges Unable to Decide the Au-
gusta Road Race.

kuStA uOdO t6hces
There was plenty Of squabbling yester-
day over the prizes in the Augusta road
race and none of them have been deliver
ed yet. Several protests were entered
against the order of finish as given by
the judges, and there was kicking long
and loud. What will be done is not known.
though the judges seem to favor running
the race over again.
A conference was held yesterday be-
tween the judges and a number of the
riders. 1t was evident that the lack of
proper arrangements for the race by those
who had it in charge was responsible for
the confusion that resulted. The judges
did not know all of the riders personally,
and, as they came in punched and close
together. it was impossible to time them.
In all probability tho race will have to be
run over before the prizes are awarded.
