The racing at the automobile, motor
cycle and bicycle meet to be held at the
Ingleside track on Sunday. September g.
promises to be highly interesting, some
close contests being expected. Though
no extremely high-powered cars will take
part, some keen racing will be seen. the
best operators in the city having entered.
George P. Fuller. the amateur who drove
the Automobile Club of California and at
Los Angeles last year. has returned from
long trip in Europe and will probably
pilot his car at IngIeside.

car races has been given by l.. P. Lowe,
chairman of the executive committee of
the Automobile Club of California, and

Reynaud, J. Nelson, A. Bollo and M.
Bollo.
o. Lentz. a noted German motor-cyclist.
now at San Diego, has entered all the
motor cycle events. At Berlin last year
Lentz took part in one of the greatest
motor cycle races ever held. covering
1858 kilometers in an hour. The motor
bicyclists Of San Francisco and neighbor-
hood, some of whom are among the fast
est in the United States, are delighted at
the prospect of meeting so well known a
performer.
A neat booklet of thirty-six pages has
just been issued by the Automobile Club
of California. 1t contains list of the
officers and governors, the bylaws, list
of honorary and active members, a pic
ture of the club badge and q copy of the
law regulating the operation of motor
of California. A circular accompanying
the club book states that the membership
has increased from $50 to 400 during the
past year and that the influence of the
club is much greater than these figures in
dicate. In order to accomplish the most
effective work for good roads the direc-
tors desire to get 1900 active members of
the club, and state it should not be diff
ficult to get this number now that more
than 1000 automobiles are owned in the
State. Each member is requested to
persuade at least one friend to fill out the
application for membership. Members
are of three classes, honorary, active and
associate. There are four honorary and
400 active members. Only those whose
place of residence or occupation is more
than fifty miles from San Francisco are
eligible as associate members. They have
all the privileges of the club but do not
possess the right to vote or hold office,
nor any interest In the property nor as
sets of the club. The active members are
limited to 1900. but no limit is placed on
the number of associate members.

NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-Racing will be

head B59. Seventeen horses have been
named for the event, which will be run
over a heavy track. a steady rain during

furlongs Of the course into a stretch of

The Futurity is the goal toward which
the ambition OF every horseman points
and around which cluster the best tradi-
JiOns of the American turf. Rich in
money, it being worth over $4,000, and
memories extending as far back as the
great struggle in which Proctor Knott
came home a scant winner over the great
Salvador, there is more for the winner
Of a FutUrity than any Of the other prizes
offered by the American racing associa-
tions.
The Futurity has always been a close
race but in all the years OF its running
horsemen agree that the field that will
face the starter tomorrow is the most
evenly matched and most puzzling that

for Europe lands at Queenstown. he
will be placed under arrest by Scot

A dress that Brooks bought for a
Pittsburg woman furnished the clue
that has led to his detection. Follow
ing the trail, Pittsburg and local off,
GERS learned that Brooks and the wo-
man had left Pittsburg for Washing

all. besides giving up several letters
that Brooks had written her. She
said that in New York she and Brooks
had stopped at hotel and had per-
suaded the landlord to secure a ticket
to Liverpool for Brooks, under the
name of n. B. Teller. At first Brooks
travelled as II. B. Teigar. Felgar being

TO SPEND 100000
IN IMPROVEMENTS.
All the Cotton Duck Factories Are to
BE Observation-Disclosures VIII
cepsume Year.

BALTIMORE. Nd. July 5.-Plan.
are now being prepared for the mod
ernizing of all the large cotton duel
factories in and around Baltmor,
that are owned by the cotton duel
combination.
Expert mill engineers, who have
carefully examined the plants. have
made up report, In which they rec
ommend that about 100000 be ex
pended to bring them up to date
There is considerable old machinery
In use. and 1t is proposed to replace
this with new. so that, while the mum
Der of splndles will not be increased
the output will be greater ut less
cost of manufacture.
The work OF making the improve,
ments will require about year, and
1t is recommended that the big mills
at Hampton, Woodbury., Mount Yer.
non and Mount Washington be i'm.
proved first.
The programme is part of the prop,
osition- to merge the Mount Vernon.
Woodbury. Company with the United
States Cotton Duck Corporation into
one company, to be known as the Con.
solidated Cotton Duck Company.
The Mount yernon.woodberry Cot
ton Duck. Company owns IL mills ad.
jacent to Baltimore. with an aggregate
of $4,000 spindles. 1t is the purpose
at once to bring the larger of these
mills up to the standard of efficiency,
of the mills of the combine In the
South, on which considerable money
has been spent in past years. This
will give the new Consolidated Cot
ton DECK Company group of the best
equipped mills in the country. The
magnitude OF the merger OF the two
companies is indicated when 1t % sta.
ted that with all It's mills this corpora
ton will be the largest consumer of
cotton in the world. Outside OF the
Baltimore district there are over 2oo.-
900 spindles that will belong to the
new corporation.
The cotton duck business at this
time is particularly prosperous. Large
shipments have been made to Japan,
orders Of considerable size are coming
in from Europe. and 1t is understood
that Mr.. c. X. Oliver, president of
the corporation, when abroad this
summer, closed some large contracts
and has, since his return, laid out
lines for the development of this in.

HOW TO RAISE
MORE REVENUE
THE PROBLEM IS TO COME UP BE
FORE CONFESS uNExPEcr.
ED DEFICIT OF $4,000, 900.

. I
WASHINGTON. July, 5.-The fact
that the deficit for this year has reach.
cd s2Eooo.ooo far more than Secretary
Shaw anticipated, and the further fact
that the deficit next year will be as
great If not greater. has convinced ON.
Gals of the government that Congress
must take some vigorous steps to pro.
vide more revenue. An easter solu.
ton Of the difficulty would be to en-.
force economy in expenditures, but
as this is not to be expected, hence. as
on the contrary. the expenditures OF
the next Congress will in all probabil.
t,y be even greater than were those
of the Congress Just expired. the only
remeds Is to provide new sources of
revenue. It will be Impossible for
the President TO avoid this subject in
his message to Congress, and those
persons who claim to know the Ptesl-
dents mind assert that he will suggest
revising the tariff on certain articles
realizing That a reduction of rates will
stimulate imports and thus produce
more revenue.
Such a policy, coming from the
White House, will meet rigorous op.
position Of Congress. Indeed, 1t is
not at all improbable that Secretary
Shaw in his report to Congress, in
which he must of necessity also treat
of the appalling discrepancy between
iucome and expenditure, will differ
with the Presidents views.
Mr.. Shaw, 1t Is believed, will recon.
mend return to some Of the methods
Of raising revenue by internal taxation
that proved so successful during the
Spanish War.
The deficit next year promises to
be about forty millions, and 1t is re-
called that the war revenue taxes by
the act of 1898 yielded over one hun.
bred millions for the three years that
the law was in effect. It would be un.
wise to lre!enact all these laws, and,
indeed. it would be unnecessary, for
there Is no danger of the deficit GO
ing beyond forty millions. The reve-
nues derived from the stamp taxes
amounted to forty.fiye Millions, and 1t
is accordingly seriously suggested by
some CT the most prominent members
of the Senate that the stamp taxes be
reimposed. These-saxes not only eff.

More than 5000 persons annually
disappear in the United States and

blush the assertion seems Incredible,
but police statistics furnish confrma-
ton. The actual figures, based on a
conservative calculation, are even
more alarming than those given. In
fact, the reports of the police depart
ments of the larger cities show that
in the Y months Just closed 16,0os
of the persons who disappeared dur.
