peal more than those in common with
other citizens of the town.

New York, Dec. Thirteen thousand
times the siX-day bicycle racers in
Madison Square Garden had circled the
saucer shaped track at O'Clock, this
morning At that hour, they already
had n start of 140 laps on the 14.00Oth
lap and they had moreover covered on
ly a little more than half their long
ride. Tricky spurts. dangerous falls
down the steep inclines of the track,
and the frequent appearance of rolls OF
money sent into the enclosure by spec
tators, who offered good sums as prizes
to the team who would outride their
competitors and gain an extra lap filled
the hours from midnight until daylight
with excitement.
Once on the incline at one of the
turns. Stol. riding at the top Of the en-
bankment, slipped and fell and, as his
wheel slid to the bottom of the track
he struck and upset both Achorn and
Dussot. The three riders went down
like landslide, but though covered
with dirt and with splinters in their
clothing they mounted their wheels and
went ahead again with a loss Of less
than half a lap.
Early this morning. two women who
occupied a box, sent 800 into the track
for the Achorn- Downey team provided
these riders would gain a lap. The
team failed to make the distance. Ply
sicians who are attending the riders
say that thus far their loss in weigh
has been scarcely appreciate. There
are still 10 teams in the race. The score

OHIO MAYORS PLAN BIG REFORM.
Perfect Organization to Procure Laws
Which Will Correct Evils.

Cleveland. Dec.7.-Ohios mayors have
banded together to wage a war for re-
form in the running Of the states
municipalities. The organization of the
association of mayors of Ohio munich
pa!itics, unique in the history of the
United States, was perfected at the end
of the meeting here of the chief execu-
g. tives and mayOrs-elect of nearly fifty
cities.
AS president of the assOcia ton,
Mayor-elect F. l.. Baldwin Of Youngs-
town was instructed to name a COM
mittee to gather data as to necessary
and desirable changes in the municipal
code, eventually to be presented to the
state Legislature.
There is practically a united senti-
ment that the present code is entirely
too cumbersome and too expensive in
its operation. Amendments looking to-
ward decrease in the number of
office-holders and centralized RESPONSE
.blity are virtually certain to be urged.

exceedingly Respondent. Nothing
pleases her. Her doctor says: Cheer
up: you have dyspepsia you will be

But she doesn't get "all right and

Alleged Confessions of Alexander,

Accused of Using Equitable
Funds For Private ProGt-Dum-

Albany, N. Y, July 17.-Equipped
with startling evidence, A~ttorney-Gen-
eral Mayer goes to New York to re-
sumo the inquiry which, it is expected,
ultimately will bring about the prose
cution of Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety officials and directors. He car
ries with him not only the confessions
of Alexander, Hyde, Depew, Snyder
and others, accused of using the Equit-
able funds for private profit, but a1di-
tional astounding testimony taken by
Superintendent of Insurance Hen
bricks, showing:
l. That for many years Henry B.
Hyde and James w. Alexander, as
president of the Equitable, annually
made aflidavits in order to obtain for
their corporations exemption from
taxation, that aecumulations of the
society are held for the benefit of the
assured, no surplus earnings belong
ing to the stockholders.
2. That Senator Depew alone en-
gineered the deal for the $250,000 loan
to the Depew Improvement Co, and
that the Equitable people, through
Gerald R. Brown, think they have only
a fair claim against Webb and Depaw.
3. That assistant secretaries and
other subordinates, as well as dummy
directors, were handed securities by
James H. Hyde, with the distinct I'M
derstanding that they should hand
over to him all the dividends.
4, That the Equitable has for years
been ~transacting a losing business in
Australia, Mexico and other foreign
countries.
s. That the merger of the Western
national and the National Bank of the
United States was conceived for the
deliberate purpose OF wrecking the
former institution.

fled to undertake the difficult task of
negotiating peace with Japan.
NJ, Whites selection undoubtedly will
be hailed az u practical assurance of
peace, While 1t would be a mistake
to denominate him as a peace at any
price man. M. White earnestly believes
that the struggle should be ended, and
should be succeeded by an understand
ing between Russia and Japan which
would insure peace in the far east for
half a century, Indeed, he Is person

that is more acceptable to all denomina-
tons of the Christian faith, When the
parliament of religions met In Chicago
during the Columbian exposition, the
representatives of almost every creed
known to man found two things on
which they were agreed. They could
all Join In the Lords Prayer, and all
could sing, Lead, Kindly Light" The
hymn was written when Newman, re-
turning home from Italy after n serious
illness, was becalmed a week In the
