LOW MAY QUIT RACE.
Indications Point to jerome to Make
Fight Against Tammany Hall.

Indications Point to Jerome to Make
Fight Against Tammany Hall.
New York, Sept. Som of those who
ire still hoping for a spirited and success
'ul campaign against Tammany this fall,
thought last night that the way was
clearing for the nomination of William
rravers Jerome. If they are not deceived
lbout the intentions of Mayor Low, the
situation will develop on Thursday by the
withdrawal of the mayor.
OF the identity of the fusion candidate
n such an event no well-informed man in
rammany or in the fusion movement has
any doubt. 1t would be Jerome In a snap
If the fingers, and Jerome would accept
both as a duty and out Of his instructive
owe of q lively fight.
On the surface there now appears an
Utmost. suspicious harmony. The two
democratic organizations in fusion made
1t the first conference their expected ar
,ument that it would be well to nominate
In independent democrat, coupled with
praise of Lows administration, which
virtually went to an acceptance of him as
he candidate. Since then friends of the
mayor have told him what they have
cleaned among his political supporters and
lis enemies, and the information was all
me way, that the chances of his %re-elec-
ion seemed slim.
If the mayor asked about the attitude OF
he public mind toward any other posi-
Die fusion nominee. he was told that an
opinion seemed to prevail that Jerome
could win, or, at least, that he would get
more votes han any other anti-Tammany
candidate.
In the privacy Of his summer home, at
Rye, the mayor may AVE pondered on
:hese things. Friends of fusion said that
f the mayor wished to draw a picture Of
himself in the two poses the outlines were
clear. BY declining the unanimous tender
IF a denomination of fusion, he would re-
ire as the candidate who knocked out
rammany, ruled two years, and In a spirit
IF non-partisanship made a place for a
democratic candidate who could bring a
second defeat to Tarnmany.

EDDIE SHEVELIN S A
High Rolling Young Man Of a Few
Years Ago Demands Freedom
and Claims to Be Sane.

Racine, Wis, Sept. S.-Charles Ed
ward Shevelin, the millionaire lumber
nan of Minneapolis, came here this
morning in custody of a deputy sheriff
and applied to h circuit court for q.
writ of habeas corpus. requiring those
who hold him to appear before the
court M show cause why he should
not be set free. He has been detained
at a sanitarium near Lake Geneva, and
is now trying to free himself from an
insanity charge.
The foregoing dispatch, according to To-
cal lumbermen and friends Of Eddie"
Shevelin, Is in error In assuming that
Shevelin Is a millionaire lumherman.
Eddie Shevelin was well known in Sioux
City about eight years ago. He travelled
for the acknowledgements Lumber COM
pany of Minneapolis, Of which his brother.
Thomas H. Shevelin, was the head. I'D
die was a high roller of the sportiest
kind, and was alleged to be the best
spender on the road. After a while the
red liquor got the better of him, and 1t
was reported that he had been retired
from circulation on a pension of 5000 q
year given by his brother, and had gone
to Paris.
That Shevelin has been in a sanatarium
for insanity was a surprise to his old
friends In Sioux City, who Were shown the
Racine dispatch today. They added, how
ever, that it would be small wonder If the
pace which the young man used to strike
would have led him to such a state.

NEW WORLD RECORD.
Passenger Train on Baltimore and Ohio
Ran 1913 Miles in 1925 Minutes.

Ran 1923 Miles in 125 Minutes.
Chicago, Sept. S.-A new worlds rec
ord for long distance running was
made by a passenger train on the Bal
ttmore and Ohio railroad. A stretch G.
12S miles was covered in 125 minutes.
No stops were made. The distance
traversed is between Chicago Junction,
o.. and Garrett, Ind.
During the run a speed of SIS miles an
hour was reached. This was the max
imum. Bursts of speed 70 and rs miles
an hour were frequent. The train was
made up of five cars pulled by engine
1850, in charge of Engineer Dunton.
This engine is Of the new Atlantic type,
weighing ILL., 900 pounds. It Is the most
powerful style in service on the Balti-
more n Ohio railroad. An extra large
water tank helped in this remarkable
performance, saving stops for water.
From Garrett into Chicago another
engine Of the same make tool the train.
On this run a speed of rs miles an hour
was reached. The performance between
Chicago junction and Garrett could
have been duplicated had the train not
been blocked by q rain ahead to which
1t was running into Chicago as a second
section. This necessitated slowing
down several times. The distance of
131 miles between Garrett, Ind, and
South Chicago was, however, covered
In 1913 minutes, making the whole u
OF 259 miles in 2TS minutes.

idea. Mrs. Bonezek should come to his
house and take care Of it until her hus-
band had paid Kulpanski's debts.
This seemed a hard proposition to
Bonezek, but he agreed to 1t. Mrs. Bone

she was induced to give VI that tour and

been a rather compromising part. What
she is going to do now is much worse, for
it will outrage the feelings of all Austrian
patriots who think her unworthy to i'm

house with which she is connected in a
manner generally d~isapproved.
When Paul Won S%chonthau read his COM

managers of the VoIks theater agreed to

play the part, and the contract was signed
then and there. Frau Schratt will receive
the highest salary the Volks theater ever
