VANDERBILT A WINNER.
Carries or All the HonOrs at b
Automobile Races at AQuid-
neck Park.

Newport, r. l., Aug. 31.-The auto
mobile races held by the National as
| ISOLATION, were run off on the half
mile track at A~quidneck park, yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. VIM. K. Wander
bilt, Jr., president of the organization.
was altogether the star performer OF
the day. He drove his own machine
in four races, made the best time on
the track, and won the championship
cup.
Fully 1000 persons went to the
track. 1t was a notable society func-
ton, and nearly every prominent fam
lily living here vas represented.
In all, there e 16 races, but the
one attracting most interest and
~arousing the greatest excitement wa
that between young Vanderbilt, in his
new German racer of 35 horsepower,
and Mr.. Foxhall Keene, in a machine
CT fully 60 horsepower. Each had
won preliminary heats.
Mr.. Vanderbilt quickly shot ahead
at the start, and at the end of the
first lap was all of an eighth of a mile
ahead. Aided by a very clever chat
feur, who at the sharp turns took
every chance and leaned far in with
only a small strap to support him.
Mr.. Vanderbilt added to his lead in
the first mile. He was Sc seconds at
the half mile, and only 1886 seconds
at the mile. His third ha1f-mile was
made in IL seconds, the fastest lap
of the meeting. Half way over the
course he had Mr.. Keene surely beat
en-, barring accident, and finished the
five miles in fine form, a winner in
Z minutes and sc seconds, the fastest
five miles of the day.
The last event of the day was the
championship, for the winners of ell
classes, ten miles, or 20 times around
the track. This Mr.. Vanderbilt hand
lily Won in Is minutes and 1872 Sec
ends. A noteworthy competitor was
Mr.. Kenneth Skinner, on a motor tri-
cycle, who was second, covering the
ten miles in 17:25 seconds.

EXPERT SWIMMER DROWNED.

of Brooklyn, w~ell-known as an ex-

at Broad Channel, Rockaway Beach,
yesterday. He was giving an exhibi-
ton in deep water of how a swimmer
could carry a person on his back, and
his daughter Eva, 10 years old, was
the one he carried. Hundreds of peo-
pie were intenly watching the two,
when Belcher and his daughter began
to founder in the water. The crowd
thought this was part of the exhibit
ton, and no one made a move to help
until Belcher's wife, who was among
the spectators, began to scream that
somethipgmust be wrong. Both SWIM
mers sank. Finally a man in the
crowd rushed into the water, and, af-
ter diving, brought the girls body to
the surface. She was revived, but
when her fathers body was recovered
life was extinct,

Two Men Found Dead in Their Room
Held On Suspfcion-SiEns
Of Guilt.

New York, Sept. 2.-The bodies of
David Scott and John Stevens, the one
the steward. and the other head
waiter of the Siwanoy Golf club, were
found yesterday in a room which the
men occupied in the attic of the club
house, which is located on the out
skirts of Yonkers. They had been
murdered with a butcher knife, which
was found on the floor of the room,
and this had been repeatedly plunged
into them, as many as a dozen cuts
being located by the physicians who
were summoned.
The men were negroes, and Warner
Simms, a colored waiter, is held ON
suspicion of knowing something of
the murders, while Frank Dunning-
ton, another negro who called at the
club yesterday looking for work, is
under detection.
The police found in the room the
steel portion of a putter. 1t had on
1t blood and hair. and this the police
claim belonged to Simms. The handle
was found down stairs, and this han
die had the name "Simms" on it. The
cash box, which was in the keeping Of
Scott, can not be found. The box
contained about $3.50. Simms says he
believes that burglars entered the
house, and after searching below
stairs had assembled to the attic and
tried to rob Scott and Stevens; that
one of them was awakened, and that
the burglar used the knife.
Scott came from Baltimore, Nd,
Stevens from Petersburg, Va, and
Simms is from this city.
The Siwanoy Golf club is a very ex-
elusive organization, and its member
ship includes $50 of the fashionable
residents of the Yonkers.

WOODS LOCATION IS VALID,
The Acting Secretary OF the InterisB
Refuses to d q Hearing
IN the Case.

Washington, Aug. 31.-In the con-
test case of j. L. Calvert against Jas.
r. Wood, coming from the Lawton
(Okla.) land district, and involving en-
try No. 1, the acting secretary OF the
interior has rendered a decision re-
fusing to order a hearing on the case.
The charges upon which the contest
was founded yer substantially that
Woods entry was made in violation of
the homestead law by reason of its
location on the south line of the town
of Lawton, and that the entry EN-
braces a tract a mile long and only
a quarter of a mile wide, and was SO
taken for speculative purposes and
not for agricultural purposes, and
that the entry was made at a time
when there were a large number of
townsite settlers on the land who oc-
cupied it for trade and business pur-
poses.
The decision holds hat the selection
and entry of land adjacent to the
town of Lawton was not in violation
of the letter or spirit of the law, and
that the fact that there may have
been alleged townsite settlers on the
land at the time he made his entry
does not affect Woods right of entry.
The land was not subject to appro-
priation for townsite purposes, nor
was any person authorized to enter
upon it or occupy it for purpose of
trade or business, and no such occu-
pancy could operate to defeat his
right to enter.
1t is further held, in the opinion,
that Woods entry is not bad on ac-
count of the form of tract embraced;
that the special provisions of the act
of May 2, 1890, do not control in this
matter, but that the general provi-
sions of the homestead law do. The
secretary says that under the act of
June 6, 1900, making provision for the
disposition of these lands, it is direct
ed that they shall be disposed of I'M
der the general provisions of the
homestead and townsite laws of the
United States, and that under this law
Woods location is valid.
