FIVE TEAMS QUIT.
Cycle Riders in Six Days Race Claim
Unfair Work.

New York, Dec. Angry because
they believed the race was being un-
fairly conducted and because methods
which they allege TO be wrong al
lowed other riders to gain a lap upon
them, five teams in the six day bicycle
race at Madison Square garden, in
Guiding some of the best riders COM
peting in the event, quit the race to-
day.
The five teams that quit were Walt
hour and Monroe, Bedell brothers.
Mayo and Newkirk, Mclean and Bow
Ter and Butler and Moran. All or
them were among the best in the con-
test and among those most heavily
backed to win the highest prize.
The trouble was precipitated by the
most exciting period of riding in the
race thus far given, when Root and
Dorian, followed later by Stol and
Vanderstuyft, succeeded in gaining a
who acted as spokesman for the five
disSa tiSfed teams, declared that the
members of those teams relieved each
other at intervals not allowed by the
rules, especially in the case of Stol
and Vanderstuyft. The trouble began
shortly after o'clock. For two miles
Dorian kept up heart breaking sprint
and gained half a lap on the bunch.
Then, hardly losing a second, Root
jumped in and began a sprint even
more heart breaking than Dorlan's 8
had been. He kept it up for 40 min
utes, with the other riders trying des-
end of that time he had gained the
lap he and his partner coveted. Walt
hour was on the track throughout the
sprint, and riding little ahead of the
rest. When Root was making his
meteoric dash half a lap ahead of the
rest, little Stol, the Belgian rider who
had just relieved Vandertuyft, stole
up past Walthour and began a sprint
to catch Root. In 2 laps he had done
what he had tried for, and Walthour
had been too much taken by surprise
to catch him.
Then the partners in the five teams
named, who were not then on the
track, made their complaint and de-
clared their intention of Withdrawing
Their partners, then riding, left the
track, and all ten riders Immediately
surrounded the officials and demand
ed that the lost distance be restored
to them.
Walthour, as spokesman for the dis
satisfied riders, argued that Stol had
not properly relieved Vanderstuyft
and that the lap was gained unfairly.

SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF.
Filed i'm Burton Case by Solicitor
General Hoyt.

Washington, Dec. Tn a supple
mental brief, filed in the supreme
court, Solicitor General Hoyt replies
further to the arguments of Senator
Burton's attorneys in the appeal of
Burton from the judgment of the
United States district court in which
he was convicted. In discussing the
intent of congress in enacting the
statute under which Burton was in
dicted, which forbidS senators and rep
resentatives rendering service for COM
pensation before an executive depart
ment in a proceeding in which the
United States is interested, the solicitor
general says in part:
There can be no doubt of the in
tent of congress to make the statute
far reaching and comprehensive. In
this case there were visits, inquiries,
representations, arrangements for
hearings, looking out at this end of
the line persistent championing of
the Rialto company's interests so that
no one engaged in that branch of the
government service could fail to know
that a powerful, aSSiduOuS and watch
ful senator was the counsel for the
company; was assuring the depart
ment that they were doing a Straight
business, that they would comply with
the rules; was keeping the department
in good humor with Dennis, the presi-
dent was implying at least that COM
plants were unfounded, because the
essential inference from his inquiries
about the bogus inspectors was that
the company was, of course, all right
and such people were merely trying to
blackmail it Mr.. Burton's traces were
we'll covered. He held UP the postal
investigation because he was a senator
and not because he was counsel for
the Rialto company
Concerning the question whether
Burton could be legally tried while the
senate was in session the solicitor gem
eral says:
Constituents are interested in being
represented in congress at all times
during a session, but first of all they
are interested in being properly repre-
sented, and a man under indictment
is not fit to represent them. Therefore
the public, as we'll as the Individual
is interested in having the privilege
from arrest waived and the charge
determined as promptly as possible" :"

No information could be obtained as to
the reason of the summons.
One of the prominent men from Ohio
now here, said today:
I'm a day or two revelations will be
made which will show this to be the
most colossal affair of the century.
Five prominent New York men,
whose names have no yet been men,
toned, will be involved as deeply as
Mrs. Chadwick.
"A number of wealthy and prominent
and western men will also be dragged
into the case and numerous prosecu-
made public through the grand jury in
vestigation which begins at Elyria, O.,
tomorrow.
Too Much Mystery.
Boston, Dec. THE Globe says
Mrs. Chadwick before receiving the
loan from Herbert D. Newton of
Brookline, sought a Boston attorney,
gave him a 100000 note purporting
to have been signed by Andrew Car
negie and the S5,00O,000 certificate and
asked him to raise a loan for her. The
attorney applied to John NJ. Graham,
president of the International Trust
company for a loan of 5000, 0O0- Mr..
Graham saw the note and certificate.
but, as he says, There was altogether
too much mystery about it. 1 saw at
once that 1 could not make a loan on
that basis.''
Attachment Issued.
Cleveland, o., Dec. 7.-Referee H.
Remington, acting upon motion filed
by Nathan Loeser, receiver for Mrs.
Chadwick, has issued an attachment
for all securities belonging to the
latter in the possession of Iri Rey-
nolds. Mr.. Reynolds is commanded to
appear before the referee with all
stocks, bonds, or securities, held by
him for Mrs. Chadwick. The bank
ruptcy proceedings will be heard be-
fore Referee Remington next Monday
and are expected to show whether or
not the five million dollars in securities
alleged to be in the possession of Mr..
Reynolds really do exist. Mr..
Reynolds is at present in New York,
but a summon in the case has been
served at his residence in this city.
Referee Remington has issued an
injunction restraining Reynolds from
transferring or disposing of the Sc
curities.
Changes Hotel Again.
New York, Dec. Mrs. c. l..
Chadwick has left the New Amster-
dam hotel and has gone to the Hotel
Breslin, Twenty ninth street and
Broadway. She left the New Amster-
dam hotel in a carriage, accompanied
by her son and maid.

WILL BE HEARD JAN. 3.
Bailey-Kelly Case Has Been Post
pOned.

The Bailey-Kely mandamus suit
has been set by the supreme court for
argument on January 3, the first day
of the January term. Fred Dumont
Smith, one of Kelly's attorneys, stated
several days ago that the suit would
be heard on December IA. but the
supreme court has decided to put it
over until the January term.
N. H. Loomis and Judge Doster, at
torneys for Governor Bailey, have filed
their briefs in the case. In it they
discuss the two questions involved:
First, the intent of the legislature in
making the appropriation for the
maintenance of the executive resi-
dence; and, second, whether this ap-
preparation increased the governor s
compensation and was therefore un-
constitutional.
The brief quotes various appropria-
tions which have been made during
the last twenty years to pay extra ex-
penSeS in connection with the COVER
nor's office, and also shows that appro-
priatiOnS are made for the main
tenance'' of the states charitable in
stitutions. the same as for the execu-
tive residence, and that it is unques-
tionably meant to cover the living ex-
penses of the officers and inmates of
those institutions.
After reviewing the items which go
to make UP the largely increased eX-
pense of living in the executive resi-
dence, such as the salary and main
ployed to keep the place up, the Civ
ing of public functions, and the enter
tainment of guests, the brief shows the
absurdity of attempting to keep a
separate account of the food con-
sumed by the guests and that con-
sumed by the governors family. 1t
argues that the legislature simply ap-
propriated two thousand dollars a
year as the states share of paying
these expenses. and that above that
figure the governor himself would
have to pay, which he does.
In discussing the constitutionality of
the appropriation the brief lays down
these propositions:
''FirSt-That the obligation of the
governor to reside in the executive
mansion imposed on him an additional
expense incident to the duties of his
office.
''Second-That the Legislative appro-
priation was made to cover such in
creased expense.
'Third-That the bills incurred by
the governor constitute legitimate
charge on the maintenance fund with
in the intent of the appropriation
act"
Numerous authorities are cited in
discussing the question of constitutions
ality, and it is argued that if no ap-
preparation had been made to cover
this extra expense imposed on the
governor, it would have been virtually
a decrease in his compensation, which
is as much prohibited as is an increase
during his term of office.
