forum track.
The managers of Edouard Taylore, the
French middle distance champion, feel
very confident that he will carry off
most of the honors in that class this
season. But one quad is used IN his
training and working out practice, and
the fact that mile alter mile has been
ridden behind this machine by the
Frenchman under two minutes is re-
markable. ..

the French rider, will meet in a twenty
mile paced match race at the Willow
Grove track, Philadelphia, on May 2s.

AQUATICS.

Joe Mcguire, the New England oars
man, who won the national single scull
championship last year, and who caused
nearly as much of sensation in rowing
circles as did Ten Eyck by winning the
Diamond Souls at Henley, will not row
in either the Harlem or Passaic regattas
this year. This fact is assured, and the
information, which is authentic, comes
from Boston friend OF Mcguire.
An accident to Greenleaf, No. 7 in the

Visit of the Auditor of State to
Hot Springs Helped
Him Little.

Captain w. H. Morris, auditor of
state, returned today from Hot Springs,
Ark, where he has been for the past
several months for the benefit of his
health. He has engaged rooms at tn
National hotel, and will make his home
there while in Topeka.
Captain Morris condition has under
gone no material change since leaving
here for Hot Sphings. He is no better
and it will be impossible for him to take
any part in the campaign. While his
friends are guarded about expressing
the opinion, it is feared that he will
never be able to again take up his du-
ties as auditor of state.
Captain Morris was i'll for some time
in this city, and his trouble was dag
nosed as rheumatism After going to
Hot Springs it was found that instead
of rheumatism his ailment was princi-
pally an affection of the nerves, and
that paralysis was a possibility at any
time. 1t is only with the greatest diff

Captain Morris realized that he was

CAPT. CLARK'S ILLNESS
Is Such That He Cannot Be Moved
From the St. Paul.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-A special to the
Times from Camp Wikof, Montauk
Point, says:
Brave Captain Clark of the battle
ship Oregon, PROSTATE in cabin of the
St. Paul, the victim of nervousness;
Cervera, vanquished admiral, receiving
the plaudits of thousands.
This spectacle. grim portrait of wars
results, has been witnessed in New
York.
Victor battling for life and health
again; the defeated, round and sleek,
crowded and damned by the hundreds
seeking for his hand.
Probably not one in the thousands
at the Murray street pier of the Fall
River line knew while Admiral Cervera
passed before them that the man who
helped destroy his fleet was then
helpless invalid on the st. Paul in New
York harbOr.
If all reports are true Captain Clark
is a very sick man. He is, it is said,
so i'll that he cannot be removed to
Montauk. The report as to his COM
plant was simply nervous prostration.

NO MORE BONDS.
But the War Tax is Likely to Remain
For Some Time.

washington, d. C.. Aug. 1s.-Tt is the
opinion Of the officials of the treasury de-
partment that there will be no necessity
for another bond issue growing out Of the
war, and that the. present revenue law,
with possibly slight notifications should
be retained on the statute books for an
indefinite period. The following may be
taken as the view of the treasury depart
ment on the subject:
1T may be confidently hoped that no
further issues of bonds will be necessary
in connection with bringing the extraor-
binary war expenditures to a close With
the treasury well supplied for the early
future and with the power conferred upon
the secretary to make temporary loans to
the extent Of s1OO.0 OO.O 600 if required, any
further resort to bond issues seems re-
mote probability.
This view is reinforced by the fact
that with the operation of the new excise
and stamp taxes the revenues of the gov
eminent will largely exceed disburse-
ments based upon ordinary peace condi-
lions. This increase in revenue ought to
and will provide for a increase in war
and navy expenditures which no doubt
will be witnessed even after active mill
tary operations have terminated. That
enlarged expenditures for the navy and
army over the past Will be necessary is
most obvious and it is a matter of con-
graduation that by the wise action of
congress the government revenue has been
put on a broad and effective basiS.''

ed were: Menefee, Hoover, Chamber
lain, Hall, Montgomery, Mayer, Callahan
and Donovan.

g Stafford, representing the base ball

ed like the Missouri statute, and the
latter had been declared unconstitutional
the players should be released Another
point was raised in the technical term of
game The defense claimed that the
statute was clearly meant to prohibit
gambling games, etc, and not athletic
sports.
Justice NIcClintock said he would take
the case under advisement until 2 o'clock.
when he would render a decision on the
motion made by the defense.
LATERAL 2 o'clock this afternoon

WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS.
Proceed Today to the Completion of
Their Ticket.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 1S.-After last
nights long drawn out session which
did not adjourn until an early hour this
morning, the delegates to the RepubH-
can state convention were a little slow
in gathering.
With the galleries comfortably filed
and nearly all the delegates in their
seats, Chairman Griffin called the con-
ventiOn to order about 1925. The chair
man announced that the first business
tenant governor. Jesse Stone of Wa
tertOWn and Frank L. Tucker, of Omro,
were named for the place, the ballot
resulting in the nomination of Mr.. Stone
by an overwhelming majority.
William H. Freehlich of Jackson and
Walter L. Houser of Mondovi, candi-
dates for secretary of state were then
placed in nomination. Freehlich was
made the nominee by a narrow majori-
ty on the first ballot.
When the order for nominations for
state treasurer was reached, the dull
ness which characterized the proceed
ings thus far today gave way to excite
ment among the delegates. Quite a tus-
sic was expected over this nomination
as several candidates were out for the
place. Charles NJ. Hambright of Ra-
cine; J. o. Davidson, of Soldiers Grove;
A. G. Nelson, of Waupuca; Alfred G.
Cypraesen of Eau Claire and j. B.
Jensen of Pierce county were the gem
tlemen offered to the convention for the
place.
J. o. Davidson captured the nominal
ton for state treasurer on the first bal
lot,receiving 1924 votes only half vote
more than was necessary for a choice.
Davidson is a LaFollette man.
On motion of Judge Mead the nomi-
