l. A. W. Decides All Professionals
Must Register Before Racing.

st. Louis, Feb. 1.-THE first amend
ment to excite any debate was one in

rules of the League of American Wheel

charged each year shall not exceed 81.

WORDEN MAY LIVE.
Impressions Prevail That His Sen
tence VIII Be Commuted.


San Francisco, Feb. 11-Gov. Budd
has as yet taken no official cognizance
of the confession and. plea for mercy
made by Salter ID. Worden. Before it
was made he had reprieved the death
sentence of the condemned man. post
poning the date of execution from Feb
ruary II to June Is. As stated at the
time this was done chiefly for the pur-
pose of giving several medical experts
an opportunity of examining into Wor-
den's mental condition, the plea of in
sanity having been set up by his coun-
sci His voluntary confession is re-
garded as a virtual abandonment of this
plea and it on his personal appeal for
clemency that the governor is now ex-
pected to act. The prevailing impress
sion is that WOrden will not die on the
gallows, but will receive a Communication
to life imprisonment.

other members of the American Rail-
way union. who were in Worden's con-
fessiOn implicated in the-Yolo trestle
train wreck, which caused the death
Of Engineer Clark and three United
States soldiers, persist in their denials
OF the truth of his statements. At the
time OF the tragedy during the great
strike of 1894 it was impossible to secure
evidence against them, and at this late
day there are not likely to be any prose-
cuJOnS based solely on the assertions
OF WOrden. They. admit their former
association with the condemned man.
but emphatically assert that the charg-
es he makes are merely put forward in
last attempt to save his own life.

SEARCHING THE RUINS.
Many More Bodies are Believed to Be
in the Debris of the Pittsburg Fire.

Pittsburg. Feb. 1.-THE work of
searching for bodies in the ruins of
Wednesday nights fire was confined
through last night by two hundred men,
but no bodies were found. The debris
is still piled ten feet high however and
as more than a score of people are still
missing, the work will be continued
without cessation until it is positively
known that no more are buried beneath
the debris.
That more people were killed, Chief
Humphreys of the fire department says
there can be no doubt. He saw the
walls go down in the midst of a great
mass of humanity huddled together in
a small space and while he did not care
to estimate the number of people killed
he says it will be largely in excess of
any estimate yet made. The search
for the bodies is attended by great dan
ger, not only from weakened walls, but
from 125 tanks of anlydrade known to
still be in the smOuldering ruins. Anly-
drade is ammonia in its most powerful
state and it's ignition would result in an
explosion which would cause incalcula-
bic disaster.
