mobile driver had narrow escape from
serious injury while racing in Mr. Wander
bits high-power automobile over the Van
derbilt course on Long Island today. They
had taken the car out for trial spin and
were going at a speed Of ninety miles an
hour down the narrow road from ALBERT
sons station toward the double reverse
curve that IL the dread Of every driver
entered for tomorrow's race. To the watch
ing crowd at the turn It seemed that the
machine was beyond control and would
shoot straight ahead into the field.
Within thirty yards of the first sharp
curve in the "S" Mr.. Vanderbilt slapped
on the brakes. There was a succession of
loud reports and the wheels skidded across
the gutter and against the soft earth at
the side, where three big telephone poles
were directly in it's path, By fraction of
an inch the machine missed the first of
them and It's rear wheels actually grazed
the second. Then the machine turned over
on its side and threw its occupants out into
the soft earth Sartori was slightly bruised,
but Mr.. Vanderbilt was uninjured. They
righted the machine and finished the course.

JUDGE KNAPP ON RAILROADS

ITHACA. N. Y. oct. 1s.--Judge Martin

OF Government Regulation Of Railroad

he suggested the possibility that condi-
ton Of affairs might exist in the railroads
similar to that revealed in the life insur-

The great inquiries that now are in pro-

In looking over the names Of men who

be true. These men are the same as those
who control many of the great railroad

INJUNCTION DIES IN MORNING
Probability Obstacles to Ditch Con-
tract VIII BE Removed.

tract VIII BE Removed.
At o'clock this morning the time will
expire in which r. A. Brown & Co., the
plaintiffs In the Harrison Pottawattamie
county ditch injunction suit were given to
secure from the supreme court an order
restraining the supervisors of the two
counties from entering into the contracts
with the Western Dredging company and
Pollard, Con & Co. for the construction
Of the joint bitches. Up to last night County
Auditor Cheyenne had received no notice
that such restraining order had been Sc
cured and as George s. Wright. local at
torney for Brown q Co., was out OF the
city nothing could be learned in the matter.
1t is not known even If any effort was
made during the week to secure the re-
straininB order from the supreme court.
1t is thought likely that the matter OF
the bond proved an obstacle to Brown &
Co. trying TO secure the restraining order
and that the company decided to merely
take the case up on appeal In the ordinary
manner to the supreme court. In the in
junction suit in the Monona- Harrison
county drainage bitches the parties seeking
the restraining order TO enjoin the super
visors OF the two counties from entering
into the contracts after they had been
awarded. were required to furnish bonds
1t is said, in excess OF $4,000. The con-
troversy in the Monona- Harrison county
bitches was very similar 10 the one in the
CONGRATULATIONS county bitches.
The boards OF the two counties are SEIZED
uled to meet in joint session in this city
next Tuesday, when. II the restraining
order is not secured by Brown & Co. from
the supreme court. the contracts as recently
awarded will be entered into. II is not
thought likely. however, If there is no fur.
Their delay in the matter OF signing VI
the contracts, that work on the bitches
will be begun this year.
