Wh.ie -aking a New Worlds Rec
Yesterday His Tire Burst and
an Automobile Ran Over Him.

Cambridge Mass, May 30.-Harry D.
motor pace follower Of the Z. S.,
was killed and Will Stinson, almost as
we'll known a bicyclist as Elkes, and
E. A. Gatelly, a motor steersman, were
seriously injured in an accident at the
initial bicycle meeting on the new
Charles river track this afternoon. The
accident occurred in the first lap of the
sixteenth mile Of a motor-paced race
and was due to the bursting of the rear
tire on Elkes' wheel at point where
the track bank is at an angle of about
33 degrees. Elkes tried to stop his ma
chine and in doing so, was thrown over
the handle bars, turning a complete
somersault and with his wheel rolled
down the steep embankment directly
in front Of Stinson's motor, which was
manned by Gatelly.
The heavy motor struck Elkes throw
ing Gateliy and the machine completely
over him, while Stinson who was fol-
lowing crashed into the wreck. At the
time Of the accident Elkes was we'll in
the lead, having made a new worlds
record for the five, ten and fifteen
miles. The injured men were picked
up and sent to the hospital, Elkes dying
on the way.
Stinson was cut severely about the
head and face, while Gatellys foot was
split open by the motor the big toe of
the right foot being nearly amputated.
The men were IN twenty mile pace

Excess S5,OOO.OOO in Ten Years-An
Example of Your Government
Ownership and How 1t Works.

New York, May 30.-The Brooklyn
Eagle says today shat an investigation
made by it shows that 100000 per an
mum is paid in New York state in excess
of the normal commercial rentals for
postoftices. The Eagle adds that as the
leases run for ten years the total excess
amounts to So, 100000. The Eagle says:
"Confining the Investigation to New
York state. in which nearly every sec
ton has been covered, it is difficult to
find an instance where the federal gov
ernment is not paying from % to so per
cent more than it should for rentals.
Indeed so universal is the gravely eX-
cessfye rate paid that a belief would be
justified that an organized conspiracy
to advance and maintain the high fig
ures Of these rentals exists or has exist
ed for some time. All the traffic would
bear seems to be the rula
Instances of fifty per cent above the
rentals paid by private interests for
like property similarly situated are
many. 15 per cent. not infreauent, while
in some cases 100. and even 200 per cent.
have been reached.
Instances have been found where the
leases have been executed by the post
office department for the occupation of
floors in buildings which We're not in
existence. but which were yet TO be
built. and were so built and occupied at
grossly excessive rates
'The most notable and f1agrant in
stance Of the abuse is shown in Dur
kirk, in Chautauqua county. 1t is q
city Of 11,616 population by the last
census. For single floor for the ac-
commodation Of the postoffice the gov
ernment is paying $4,000 annually. Il
the same block a few doors nearer the
street is a floor which is occupied by a
business concern, which, apart from
this postoffica building, commands the
highet rent il. he city of Dunkirk. The
merchants occupying it pays $500 per
annum."

increase of rentals at towns throughout
the state.
