TROOPS INEFFECTIVE.
Inspector Reports tho Foods BE slys
An Extra session of tho Legislature
Il Not Necessary.

FRANKFORT, Ey.. July 30.--State In
spector Lester made lengthy report
on the Clay county. situation to the
governor Friday. bu. it contains moth
ing sensational.
The report says that the killing of
Tom Baker. while surrounded by
troops. indicates the uselessness of
sending troops there during the term
of circuit court; that the present con-
dition there does not neccssitate a
special term of court in August. but
that at the regular October term tho
grand jury should thoroughly investi.
gate the killing of Tom Baker and in
dict the guilty man if the evidence will
warrant it.
The inspector recommends that the
next Legislature should give rcuit
judges more power in selecting juries
and that the governor should be given
the sole power to appoint special
judges in felony cases where the regu-
lar Judge can not sit. He thinks the
governor could have taken no action
that would have checked the strife
and can do nothing now under the law
that he has not done to solve the prob
lem and that an extra session of tho
legislature is not at all necessary. The
inspectors report, when read between.
the lines, indicates that an extra ses-
sion is beyond the realms of possibility
unless a miracle should change the
governors present view.

THIRD RACE DECLARED OFF.
Neither Yacht Could Finish IL tho Time
Limit-Iho Columbia Had Overcome
tho Shamrock Lead

NEW YORK, Oct. s. - At sunrise Sat
nrday morning strong northerly
breeze was stirring up the whitecap.
on the upper bay.
The Shamrock was inside the Horse
shoe as usual and by $50 her tender,
the tug James A. Lawrence, was max.
ing preparations to tow her
outside. The Columbia was being
towed down from Bay Ridge.
The breeze was so fine and true off the
Hook that the Shamrock dispensed
with the aid of the tug and started out
for the lightship under sail. Just as
she got under way the Columbia came
down the channel and rounded the
southwest spit in tow of her tug.
The starting gun was fired at 1l:"O.
At 1881 the yachts had sailed about
a mile Of the course and the Colum bia
was in the lead. During the next 10
minutes the Columbia seemed 10 draw
away from the Shamrock.
AT 1908 the Columbia led By about
an eighth of a mile. A few moments
after the Shamrock blanketed the Co.
lumbia and was passing the American
on the starboard side.
At 1918 the Shamrock passed the
Columbia to starboard and took the
lead.
Off Highland at 1915 a range on
the yachts showed the Shamrock TO be
minutes and 40 seconds ahead OF tho
Columbia.
At i:l5 p. m. the Shamrock appeared
70 have increased her lead. The boats
seem to be quarter of mile apart.
AS they were preparing to round the
stake boat at f:35 the Shamrock led by
only 25 yards.
At 1888 both boats were SEEM
ingly starting for home, with the
Shamrock in the lead, which seemed to
be increasing at 2:l0.
At 1905 the Shamrock was still ahead,
but at 3:o3 II appeared the Columbia
had passed the Shamrock and had a
slight lead.
AT 4:l7 both boats are standing on
starboard tack and not over so yards
apart. The Columb bia manages to hold
her windward position. and neither is,
1t this minute, getting any advantage
over the other.
At 4:32 it was evident neither boat
.ould come within the time limit and
he race was declared off for the third
ime.
