prBLIc ROADS FOR PRIVATE USES

The interesting announcement is made that at
a date in the near future some automobile races
are to be held on a straightaway mile course on
one of the public thOroughfares of this city
The street selected is a particularly good one
for speed all vehicles of all kinds save those
engaged in the races are to be excluded from
the course at the time, and 1t is accordingly
hoped that the records for speed will be broken.
1t seems not improbable that such will be the
case. We shall not he surprised 10 see the
record for highest speed made hy some machine
whose proprietor has vehementy declared 1t in
a police court to be unable 10 go faster than ten
miles an hour.
The announcement concerning the races is,
however, incomplete. 1t should include state
ment OF the authority by which the public is to
be arbitrarily excluded from public highway
In order that the latter may privately be used

ON THE BANKS or THE HARLEM.


The Speedway cost the city treasury n great
deal Of money, but it cannot be disputed that
this place of recreation is immensely popular
this spring, and that it has been and Is now
not only a source of wholesome outdoor amuse-
ment for multitudes of people who flock to see
the contests of the trOtters, but Is also n great
magnet which draws to Manhattan owners and
admirers of fleet roadsters from every State in
the Union This spacious boulevard on the west
bank of the Harlem has done much to increase
the value of every breeding farm in America
While it has expanded the prosperity Of breed
ers 1t has stimulated the business of the max
ers of all sorts of vehicles and of stable equip
ments and supplies There is n wide range of
American industries which has been encour-
aged and furthered by the popularity of the
Speedway, and in the generous provision which
this rich, openhanded town makes for the en-
tertainment of its people and of It's guests from
all quarters Of the globe this meeting place of
lovers of sport holds an important position.
What other community has anything exactly
like ii? What n fascinating free show can he
seen in this merry month of May every day Of
the week. when the professional and amateur
drivers hold the rens over the trOtters in that
picturesque valley of the Harlem.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 24.-The request
by Governor Nash, of Ohio, has received
hearty response from the governors of
all the states and territories invited to
join in asking the people to properly
observe the seth anniversary of the
birth of William Mckinley. Nearly
every governor has either issued proc
lamation or semi-oficially requested
that there should be memorial services
on the Sunday preceding January 26th
in all the churches, that contributions
be there received, and that all people
testify by their voluntary offerings their
love and devotion to the dead president.
In many states, notably Kansas, public
schools will hold special exercises and
give to the fund.
In any community where there is no
local auxiliary of the Mckinley Memo
rial Association, contributions by busi-
ness, fraternal or labor organizations,
schools or churches, may be sent to the
treasurer, Myron T. Herrick, Cleve-
land, Ohio, The funds will be applied
to the erection of a fitting memorial
tomb to William Mckinley, over his
last resting place at Canton "Ohio.
Judge William r. Day, ex-secretary of
state, is president of the association.

what is known as dust explosion.
The miners had just fired their usual
noon shots, one Of which proved to be a
fizzle, the powder fame igniting the
gas and causing the explosion. Smoke
and debris were blown out Of the mine
in column 200 feet high. A part of
the top works was torn away, and the
fans and cages were wrecked. This
made the work of rescue very slow,
and it was 3 o'clock before volunteer
forces dared to venture into the east
entry, where the explosion occurred.
The men of the rescue party fought
their way into the mine, where a
shocking sight met their gaze. The
dead and injured were terribly burned
and mutilated, some of them almost
beyond recognition. Beyond where the
bodies lay the fire was burning fercely,
and for time it was feared the work
ings would be wholly destroyed and the
bodies incinerated. Finally, however,
the flames we're subdued. The bodies
were then collected and taken to the
top of the shaft.
At the time of the explosion more
than 100 men were in the mine. but all
except those in the east entry escaped
with only slight injury. The total
property loss will be about $40, 1000.
Nearly all of the men were married
and leave families in poor circum-
stances.

the case, the Schroths refused to
say anything. and the attorneys were
also reticent.
Braemer is about As years Of age.
and has been with the Schroths q
years, most of the time receiving SIS
per week as bookkeeper. and in re
cent years about twice that much as
secretary and treasurer. The arm
did . business of about $1,000, 900 a
year, which was collected by Brae-
mer. When John Schroth died, over
a year ago, Lieutenant Governor Carl
Nippert became the attorney of his
heirs, who instituted an investigation
Of the company. which finally culmin-
ated in meeting of all interested
parties last Sunday, at which Brae-
mer resigned, and from which the
sensational reports of today enTan-
ated. The experts insist that they
cannot complete their work for two
or three weeks, and counsel say that
no reliable statement can be made
until that time.
No reports OF similar character
ever created such sensation In this
city, as Mr.. Braemer always has been
regarded as man of the highest bus
mess and social standing. He owns
one of the finest residences in the
city, and 1t is furnished with all that
art could supply. In all Of the sensa-
tional reports that have been pub
lished no reference Is made to him
as a fast man or Of bad habits, such
as are usually coupled with such SEN
sations. The attorneys and other in
terested persons will give no assur-
ance that the report of the experts
on the examination of the books
will be made public when completed.
as they state that every possible diff
ference has already been adjusted
satisfactorily by the property that
Braemer has turned over in trust.
All the interested parties state that
they expected after the meeting last
Sunday, at which Braemer resigned,
that all differences would be settled
without the matter ever becoming
public
