in CLOUD OF DUST
Automobiles OFF in a Race From
Paris to Berlin
Thousands Gather Early t
Witness the Start.
FOXHALL KEENE IN IT,
Got Away at Seven O'clock in
His New Car.
Has Little Hope of Winning But
Will DO His Best.

Paris, June 27.-From midnight on
during the early morning hours
stream of bicyclists and automobiles
marked the road from Paris to Fort
Champigny, a dozen miles east of the
city, the beginning of the automobile
race between Paris and Berlin, which
started at half past three this morning,
attracting unusual interest. 1t was in
deed a most picturesque sight The
cross roads of Champigny, where hun
dreds of bicycles and automobiles were
assembled were Illuminated with Chi
nese lanterns, while every few minutes
a racing car would dash up and take
the position allotted, being soon lost %
view Later. when the bright sunshine
put in an appearance the auto-cafs oe-
parted with even greater speed, and
were soon enveloped In dust.
At the starting place at the cross
roads of the village of Champigny by
$3.50 a. m, the hour when the first au-
tomobile was started, at least 1000 en-
thusiaStS had gathered, many being
scattered along the road toward Ber-
lin The first few racers left before
break of day, losing little time in Gov
ering the first 200 yards The cloud OF
dust which alone could be seen Whiri-
ing across the plateau of Champigny
resembled nothing so much as the
smoke Of an express engine. The rae
ing cars were mere machines of iron
and steel and no pretense was made to
secure comfort for the drivers or engi-
neers. They carried little or nothing
except spare tires and cans of petrol
cum. The arrangements were carried
out like clock work There were about
80 persons who had entered, who did
not start, among them the American
artist Dannatt. Many cheers were Civ
en- as the automobiles made their de-
parture. There was only one lady COM
petitor, a handsome French woman
named Cast, who was attired in a
smartly made waterproof costume.
Foxhall Keene got away at o'clock
He wore a blue serge suit covered
with a rubber jacket,and a gray check
ed cloth cap.
Il don't expect to win" said Mr.
Keene to the correspondent of the As
ISOLATED Press, as he went to the start
ing line, but am going for the sport
of the thing. I never participated in a
race of this kind before My auto-car
is quite new. I drove it for the first
time Tuesday and find the tension is
terrible. My car ought to go IS kilome-
tres an hour, so apparently I stand 4
fair chance in the race, but 1 shall not
get the best speed out of it as 1 have
not had sufficient experience with it.
These French crack chaffeurs will pro
badly beat me two hours during the
first days run Nevertheless I mean to
do my best and win if possible
M Fourier arrived at Aix-la-C Chap
pelle, at 2:30 p. m. ahead of all com
petitors. This place was the end of me
first days run. 2S3 miles.

Robinwitz rushed up to the police sta
ton when Hall brought the children
where he tried to tell his troubles to
everyone. Judge Lindsay was in the
court room when Hall arrived with the
children, and dismissed them with
reprimand. The children started home
and Robinwitz started to tell his story
to the judge At this Hall became
angry and grabbed Robinwitz by the
shoulders saying, Come on. I'll just
book you for resisting an officer"
Robinwitz was locked up and booked
on the police docket accordingly, where
he stayed until his wife came up to the

appearance today. There We're many

any answer, but let go the child's arm
and struck me a heavy blow on the
face. Then he said, D you, I'll show
you how to interfere with me-

BoYLEs WANTED 10 FIGHT.
Took OFF His Coat and Star But Not
orman Hurst Declined.


Officer Boy1es, another member of the
local police force, was involved in an
alteration Wednesday afternoon at the
Union Pacific depot in North Topeka.
Officer Boyles was on duty there at that
hour.
A freight train had been standing over
the street crossing nearly fifteen min
utes, when by the provisions of the city
ordinances they are only allowed four
minutes.
Notoneer Thomas J. Hurst who runs
one of the electric cars was compelled
to wait nearly that long and becoming
exasperated asked Officer Boyles to clear
the track.
Boyles replied that he had asked the
trainmen to cut the train but that they
wouldn't do it. Hurst replied that he
thought that if he were an officer he
would be able to get the street cleared
and told Officer Boyles as much
If you think you can get the street
cleared you had better get out and try, I"
BoYles is credited with saying.
The argument started out good
naturally but gradually grew more
wrathy and when Hurst made remark
about officers who failed to do their
duty, Boy1es became angry and asker
Hurst to leave the car and fight him.
Il am not fool enough to get off the
car and fight an officer" said Hurst.
"But if you want to climb on the car
and start something I'll try and make
it interesting for you.
'I'll take off my star, If that Is what
you want" said Boyles, and he forth
with took off his coat and star, pre-
paratory to fighting.

it on the counter.
The impromptu prize fight was then
commenced
Adams and Carpenter are both pow
erful men but at the close of the first
round Carpenter had the worst OF the
encounter. The policeman had not laid
aside his revolver when he disposed Of
his star and he drew it out of his peck
ct and struck Adams over the head,
cutting a severe cash.
Adams ran for the safe where he
knew a revolver is kept but the men
in the room closed the safe. He then
turned and started for Carpenter once
more but the policeman leveled his re-
volver and warned him to come no
nearer When Adams refused to heed
the command his friends caught him
and dragged him back and prevented
further trouble

Card From Rev. B. F. Foster.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
It is with great reluctance that I en-
ter a newspaper controversy, in a hur-
ried reply to the numerous charges and
rumors, which have lately appeared in
the papers about my sanity; and which
were promptly refuted by experts. In
spite of the delicacy of the situation
and the interest feel in the person and
persons engaged in this strange pro-
cedure, I cannot well remain quiet and
have my character and good nams thus
be dragged in the dust without denying
in toto all and singular every allega-
ton. The motive and animus will be
brought to light in the future. I am
not in politics. notwithstanding I did
run for an office for which I did not
ask. have been a pastor up until last
August. Am a minister in good stand
ing in the Congregational association
ever ask for it.

TO SEE MRS. NATION.
Two Women Walk 25 Miles to Get q
Glimpse of Her.

Carthage, No, June 27.-Yesterday
was Carrie Nation Day at Chautauqua
assembly. Two women who had trav-
eled over 100 miles to hear her had
walked the last % and had only enough
money left to pay gate fees. They told
their story and won the sympathy of
the management and were cared for.
A Carrie Nation temperance song
composed by a local poet was sung for
the first time. During the singing Mrs
Nation beat time with her hands, to the
delight of the crowd. She talked for
half an hour on Gods Saloon" At the
close of her address she sold copies of
the Smasher's Mail and pictures and
hatchets by hundreds.
Mrs. Nation was late arriving and it
was rumored she had gone to town to
smash a few saloons. The report made
the audience more anxious to see her.
