BIGGEST OCEAN RACE

NEW YORK. Nov. 16-When Sir
Thomas Upton spoke for more

in the races for Americas cup, he
builded better than he knew. Promi-

sired to do away with the racing ma
chine such as Reliance, but few had
the temerity to say so. The interna-
tional races this year for Canada's
cup brought out yachts that were
racing cruisers. seaworthy fast and
powerful. They were anything but
racing machines.
With this talk going on of an ocean
race, and the fact that Emperor Will

NORAsNOBLE
TROUBLES THE POLICE

Nora Noble, a pretty l4-year-old girl,
has been leading her relatives, the po-
lice department and the sisters in
charge of Holy Names academy, mer-
~ chase for the last three weeks-a
chase that led in her being turned
over to Matron Yost of the Salvation
Army home by Captain Coverly last
night.
Nora's home was formerly in Colfax
and her mother still lives in that town.
About a month ago she was sent to
the home of her brother-in-l law, F.
Merryiield. Second avenue and Monroe
street, the plan being for her TO at
tend school
In due order Nora began the school
ing, but in undue order she gave it up.
That was three weeks ago.
Her brother-in law could not find
her. He notified the police department.
and gave the department picture of
her. All the sleuths of the depart,
ment frightened up their lamps and
began looking for Nora.
She was found with another girl en-
tering the Elks' temple to attend a
ball Instead of going to the ball she
was taken before Captain Co"erly. The
captain found that she had taken up
her quarters with the parents of her
girl friend in the Mott building. Main
avenue and Brown street.

will necessarily turn their minds to
something that ~can stand the wear
and tear of an Atlantic voyage.
There are few yachts now afioat
that can take part in such race.
Among them are the German emper-
or's American-built schooner, Meteor.
which has already demonstrated her
stability speed and seaworthiness in
many contests. She will be manned
by an alderman crew. This state
ment was made officially in Berlin re-
Gently. and does away with the sup
position that Watkins is building an
ocean going racer for the emperor.
Under her present rig the Meteor
would be heavily Handicapped and to
overcome this her immense sail area
will be shortened.

Punishment

Sam Elder is still fighting against

charge of holdup. He has been sen-
fenced by Judge Richardson to a term
in the setate penitentiary and has
commenced proceedings for new trial
and to support his contention has filed
an affidavit Of Peter Graham, one Of
the jury which convicted him.
The affidavit states that the verdict
was reached with the understanding
that the recommendations to mercy
would carry With it the infection of
the lightest penalty known to the law
and that many of the jurors would not
have. consented to such verdict had
it not been with that understanding
To quote the affidavit:

charging other persons with being gull

of the jury such doubt that verdict
of guilty could not have been rendered
and would not have been rendered I'M
der any circumstances. had it not
been believed that the penalty would
have been the minimum.
