Which He Will Revive-HiII Calls
Upon Grout and Starts Guberna
toriai Rumors.
NEW YORK, July 22-Lenox, which
is the most fashionable Of summer re-
sorts, and which prides itself on be-
ing infinitely more exclusive than
Newport, has come out flat-footed
against the motor car, and the Lenox
cluG which is the principal social or
gan1zatlon of the place, with George
q. Haven, j. w. Burden, Charles Ian
Ter, John E. Parsons and John S.
Barnes among it's officers and COVER
nors, has issued the offer of a reward
OF $25 for each of the first ten convic-
tons or motorists guilty of violating
the state speed limit.
The club is mainly composed Of
wealthy cottagerS and owners of coun-
try seats in the vicinity who are fond
OF horses, but who declare that both
riding and driving have become not
only dangerous, but absolutely impos-
slble, owing to the rate at which motors
are run and the utter disregard which
those speeding the machines display
Tor the other occupants of the high
ways and country roads
The United States government, on
much the same ground, has promulgat-
ed orders forbidding the admission of
automobiles to the Yellowstone park.
In every direction one hears of this
form of locomotion, which has so many
obvious advantages, being impeded and
arrested by the neglect of owners and
drivers of these vehicles to observe the
laws regulating speed and the consid-
erations for the safety and welfare
of their fellow citizens.
Meanwhile reports of automobile ac-
G10ontS coming in from n
rection, especially from Newport, where
Willie Carter a day or two ago crashed
his machine into a butchers wagon
in order to avoid collision with a
motor occupied by Cynthia Roche and
Natalie Wells. Alfred Vanderbilts
new German automobile enjoys the dis
tlnction so far of being the noiSiest.
the gaudiest and the most unmanage-
able machine in all Rhode Island
To Give Old Morality Plays.
Chas. Frohman will produce the old
English morality play, Every Man"
in New York in the Fall. He sailed for
home on the Kronprinz Wilhelm last
week. Such haste did he make that
he was obliged to take Paul Potter and
other dramatiStS aboard the vessel at
Cherbourg, to complete arrangements
with them for several plays.
Henry Arthur Jones is to write a
play for John Drew, under Mr.. Froh-
mans direction. Several of Mr.. Froh-
mans plays will be toured upon the
Continent.
Talk of Grout for Governor.
Ex-senator David B. Hill was in
town last week and met several of the
Democratic politicians. After consult
ing with number of the leaders, he
did something to which politicians are
attaching a great deal of significance.
He went to the Stewart building and
had conference with Controller Ed
ward M. GrOut.
1t is known that earlier in the day
the name of Mr.. Grout had been sug-
gested to Mr.. Hill as the strongest pos
sible man whom the Democrats could
nominate for governor. Mr.. Hill was
told that Mr.. Grout would make a far
stronger candidate than would Mr.
Coler.
Whether or not the subject of
gubernatorial nomination was broach-
ed to Mr.. Grout by Mr.. Hill is not
known. 1t is known among his friends
that Mr.. GrOut is one of those who take
an optimistic view of the Democratic
chances in the coming state campaign.
He has expressed himself to the effect
that If the right man were nominated
he believed Gov. Gdell would be beat
Cll. IIC lids uCNcI IIIHlCQ DIT HIS U0-
sire for the Democratic nomination, but
nevertheless some of his friends are
confident he would take it if it came
to him with any degree of enthusiasm.
1t was stated in some Quarters last
evening that the Brooklyn organiza-
ton would not favor Mr.. CIRCUITS nom
ination, for the reason that he joined
with the Fusion forces against the or
ganization in the last city campaign.
But by others it was asserted that Mr.
CIRCUITS offense was not as fragrant as
that of Mr.. Shepard when he ran for
mayor of Brooklyn as an Independent
after Mr.. Grout had received the regu-
lar Democratic nomination. The Brook
lyn organization, it was said, in all
likelihood, would let bygones be by
cones and willingly accept Mr.. Grout
if the rest of the state was for him.
Mr.. Hill also received from the lead
ers with whom he consulted their views
as to the manner in which the state
campaign should be conducted. Bor-
ough President Cantor is opposed to the
plan Of fighting the campaign on state
issues only. He says that as Congress-
man are to be elected at the fall cleo
ton national issues should be inter-
jected into the campaign. Unless they
are, Mr.. Cantor does not believe the
Democratic chances of success will be
brilliant.
Mr.. Hill met a number of Democratic
politicians at the Hoffman house.
