TOM COOPER ARRIVES.


about the slowest speed that machine
will make is thirty miles an hour" said
Tom Cooper. the automobile driver, as he
pointed to his big racing car in front of
the Fisher Automobile Company on North
Illinois street late yesterday afternoon.
Cooper had just arrived from Detroit and
the car was taken TO Fishers establish
ment to be inspected before being taken
10 the State fair grounds early next week
The machine was shipped by freight and
was towed through the streets by a big
moving wagon Owing to it being geared
for speed and the fact that it makes such
tremendous noise while running it was
impossible to run il through the streets.
When the machine was stopped on ILL.,
nois street Cooper threw on the switch
and showed the big powerful engines in
motion. The heavy wagon auivered and
the engines puffed and snorted like an
express train at full speed He pushed the
lever out a little and casually remarked
that the engines would then carry the
wagon at about a mile in 20 The lever
was pushed little more and Cooper said
the engines were furnishing enough power
for a mile a minute speed. Those who
stood around and saw the big engines
work never doubted his word. The big
racing machine Is a peculiar looking car
and is built closely TO the ground. 1t
weighs $500 pounds.
Cooper will work out at the fair grounds

PARIS. May 22.-The final preparations
made for the Paris-Madrid automobile FACE
insures one of the most notable long dis
lance races ever run. The number of en-
tries, 314, far exceeds those of any previous

HULS HAS HIS TROUBLES.



Frank NJ. Huls. of 2503 Northwestern
avenue, was arrested last night on a war
rant sworn out by his mother-in-law charg-
ing him with beating her and throwing her
out of his house. Several days ago Huls
rushed into the police station and with
tears streaming down his face told most
pathetic tale to the desk sergeant. He said
he went to st. Louis six weeks ago to bet
ter his condition, that he had been out of
employment here and took a position that
had been offered him with the st. Louis
Traction Company. He left his wife. he
said, pure and true, and promised to send
AS soon as he received his first pay he sent
her enough money to pay her fare and
asked that she come on at once. In reply
he received message telling him TO stay
where he was and not to expect his wife to
come to him, as she would have nothing
more to do with him.
Sergeant" he cried, ct want my wife
and child. But the madcap mother-in-law
of mine has turned my wife from me. She
was with another man tonight and admit
Now, what shall do?" The sergeant re-
piled that he thought the best thing to be
done was for him to go to bed and take
good nights rest and he would probably
feel better in the morning.
We'll. If you can't do anything for me-
the young man said, IL suppose you had
better put me in irons. for l am unable
to restrain myself and may commit some
act of violence" The sergeant listened
patiently and advised him to go to bed and
in the morning to go and see his wife and
try to patch up their differences. The
young man went away and nothing more
was heard Of him until he was brought to
the police station in the patrol wagon last
night His mother-in-law, Mrs. Mary Her
bert says that Huls deserted his wife and
went to st. Louis and that she was COM
PEELED to keep his wife and child during the
husbands absence. Yesterday, she says.
Huls persuaded his wife to come back and
live with him and took her to the home of
his father. Mrs. Herbert says she went to
the Huls home to persuade her daughter
to come back to her, but the daughter re-
fused. She then demanded money for the
support of Mrs. Huls and her child during
the absence of her husband. Huls became
angry, she says. and threw her out of his
house, causing her serious bodily injury
Huls was a member of the Thirty-fifth
United States Infantry and saw service in
the PhilippineS.

his band of champions left Milwaukee for
Kansas City this evening after disastrous
experience In the Cream city. They lost
two games to Milwaukee and also lost two
chances to play because the weather was
bad. Yesterday the rain came down in
torrents; to-day it hung in the air. In
fact, the atmosphere was so thick that
facetious player said a batted ball
met with so much resistance it wouldn't
go out OF the diamond. The truth Is the
fog was so dense the outhelders could not
be seen and the infielders looked like
ghostly shapes moving about on the lines.
Finally. at the beginning OF the second
inning, the batters complained they could
lot see the ball and the pitcher said he
was unable to locate the plate and the
game was called with the score TO i In
favor OF Milwaukee. local rooter with
a fog horn suggested that the game be
continued and offered his horn 10 the UNI
pire to be used in notifying the batter
when ball was pitched, but the umpire
scorned the offer.
The field was very muddy and prevented
good fielding. Indianapolis scored FOX
through an error by Phyle. and Donahue
and Wood scored for Milwaukee on two
hits, a pass, when Ford hit Wood, and
Tamsett's wild throw TO the plate. OBr1en
started the second inning with a two-bag-
ger, but the game was called at once.
