MUssoLINo STILL AT LARGE.

Make Wild Threats.

LONDON. Nov. 25.-As anticipated, Mus
solino, the brigand, has escaped through
the police and military cordons elabo-
rately drawn around his mountain fast
nesses and at present he appears to be
passing his time pleasantly in towns.
Within the last few days he has written
letters to papers in Rome. Milan, Naples.
and Sicily, the burden of each being his
confidence to defy the entire italian army.
All these letters contain these words:
Il am not a criminal, but an avenger. l
harm not the innocent. l kill only the
guilty.
AT the urgent command of the police the
newspapers forward all letters from the
desperate to detectives, who at first hoped
that the postmarks would cause Mussoli-
nos undoing. The last batch vas POSTED
successfully at Catauzaro. Messina. Ma

travels considerably unless he has friends

likely. Mount Asprommonte has been
thoroughly explored by the police and
troops. Rocks have been blown up with
dynamite, woods burned, and every nook
and Granny overhauled.

ting that the brigand was too much for
him. He brought with him documents
found in cave which give additional
piquancy to the situation. 1t seems that

political boss in Reggie Calebria. He had

1.500 persons. The betting ring is 25O feet
long, and will provide space for any num-
her of bookInakers. The visitors were adj
vised that it YVES proposed to erect
proper booth accommodations for the use
OF the bookmakers, and that foreign books
would also be furnished at the track.
Electric lighting will be installed in the
grand stand and about the betting ring.
In an informal discussion of the situa-
ton by tic horsemen present, it was ex-
pressed as the general opinion that the
Jockey Club, who have declined the appli
cation of the track for admission, would
do well to consider the suggestion that
instead of outlawing owners of horses
which ran upon the track, the horses
alone be outlawcd. 1t was pointed out
that there are innumerabie entries at the
Jockey Club tracks that have not the
slightest chance of a purse, and that such
horses might have an opportunity to score
winning on tracks where the class Of
fered better opportunities.
Moreil Marean, Manager of the Western
Union Telegraph Company. was one OF the
party, at the request OF the management.
He stated that he was present to discuss
with President Allen the details CT the
wiring necessary for the installation Of
the service for the foreign book.
Shorty Powers, the blind man who is
appointed by the bookmakers to place
the official numbers on the Jockey Club
tracks, was also at the Beach. and said
that he had come down to see The track.
He added that it was "out of sight"
The new club house was visited by the
party and its various appointments met
with complimentary comment. The pub
lie dinfng-rooms of the first floor, the
. card rooms OF the second, and the
sleeping chambers on the third floor were
all inspected. The fittings and decorations
excited deserved admiration. The club
house will be completed and furnished
by the end Of the month. Although
several offers for the lease have been
made no tenant has yet been found en-
tirely acceptable in financial RESPONSE
bilty or in experience to conduct the
establishment.
The following officials CT the track have
been appointed President and General
Manager. John u. Allen; Presiding Judge,
Oden Bowie; Associate Judge, c. c. Pet

At Chesapeake Beach yesterday party

strong, mostly owners of racing stock,

themselves as very favorably impressed.
! 1t was the consensus OF opinion that the

Many of the visitors while at the Beach

about the track by Charles A. Cotterill,

The track is reclaimed marshland, and

as nature could make it.
The party was conducted to the twelve

should find it necessary, by reason of an
