THE SIX-DAY RACE.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 17.-Al-
though ninety hours on their journey,
the riders in the international SIX day race
at the Mechanics Pavilion shows wonder
full freshness. Averages to-day of IS to
10 miles an hour for long periods were
nothing strange.
Oscar julius, the Swedish tail-ender to
the line of thirteen men, was the hero
of the day. Julius was seat sore and sick
last night. He went to ped for a long
sleep, and while in the land of nod his
trainer walked away with his money and
Valu2bles. To-day when about to quit,
julius decided that he would finish and

although unable to get inside the prize LIST

eat and no care at all, dressed and came
on the track. John Lawson's brother
took care of him then, and he started
pacing the bunch. In the S1st 0 Julius
carried the party along 10 miles and two
laps. In the hour Grim freshened and
hung in the line, which tapped Miller
again and again. The champion was evil

WOULD YIELD NOTHING,
Senator Rawley Not Ready for a Compro-
Mise on the Army Bill


Washington, D. c., February IL
There was a pronounced movement / n
the Senate to-day looking to a COM
promise on the army reorganization
bill. The movement originated, with
several Republican Senators who ad-
vanced the opoinion that a compromise
was preferable to an extra session of
Congress. The Cockrell bill was ac-
cepted by them as the first advance on
the part of the Democrats toward an
understanding, and many felt that they
would go farther in that direction In
case the Republicans should indicate a
willingness to meet them half way. The
movement grew wholly out of the de-
sire to avoid a special session and was
participated in by some Of the Republi-
can leaders. When the matter was
brought to the attention of Senator
Hawley, chairman of the committee on
military affairs, he gave it no counte-
nance whatever, declaring that he was
not willing to yield anything.

LOST IN A STORM.
The Steamer Rossrnore Abandoned at'Sea.
Her Crew Rescued.

Her Crew Rescued.
New York, February 1.-THE tank
steamer Rotterdam, from Rotterdam,
which arrived to-day, reports that OF
February 6, in lat. 40.33, long. 1926, she
sighted the British steamer Rossmore
from Liverpool for Baltimore, in a
sinking condition. The Rotterdam
took off all on board the Rossmore, AZ
in all, including eight cattlemen. The
Rotterdam stayed by the Rossmore for
sixty hours. Capt. Duncauson, of the
Rossmore, reported that nine members
of his crew had been taken off by the
steamer Trojan before the Rotterdam
came up.
The story of the wreck of the Ross
more was told by her officers to-day.
The steamer left Liverpool on Janu-
airy % for Baltimore, with a small cargo
of salt and china clay. On January so,
N. n. W. hurricane was met, lasting "a
hours, the wind blowing in fearful
gusts of violence. On the 31st the stear-
ing gear became disabled and the
steamer fell off in the trough Of the
sea, rolling violently. One Of the en-
gineers had his collarbone broken, and
one of the crew was badly bruised
about the legs. The damage to the
steering gear was repaired, but the gear
broke a second and third time, so badly
that repairs could not be effected.
These breaks occurred between Feb
ruary 3 and 4, when the gale after sub
siding had again assumed hurricane
proportions. The vessel was so pound
ed by the terrific seas that Captain
Runcanson decided that he would
abandon her On the first opportunity.
February 6 the British steamer Trojan,
from Newport News for Glasgow, hove
in sight and in answer to signals, took
out the first and third officers, ard
seven cattlemen and firemen, nine in
all, but the weather conditions pre-
vailing at the time prevented a further
rescue. The same day the Rotterdam
bore down, and although the gale was
blowing ~furiously, succeeded in taking
out % of the Rossmore crew. The Rot
terdam stood by sixty hours before the
final rescue was effected. On Febru-
airy 8 the remainder of the crew, 10 in
number, were taken off the vessel and

CAREFULLY INVESTIGATED
VIII BE the Apparent Shortage in the Ac-
counts OF Murdered Treasurer Hleyins.

New Castle, Pa, February l7.-The
apparent shortage in city and school
accounts of John Blevins, the murder
ed city treasurer, which is about $67,-
600, has caused the special auditing
committee of council to determine on
a more complete audit Of the treasury
books, an expert accountant to direct
the investigation. The integritay OF
the treasurer had never been doubted
and he was known as Honest John
Bleyins." There is a growing belief
that the deficit and the murder are in
some way connected. 1t is remember
ed that certain papers, the exact nature
Of all Of which is not known, were re-
moved from the VduIL W thO Anul-
