Autoists Show Much Activity
RECORD
SURPRISES THE
MOTORISTS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Automobilists
continued to talk today of the remark
able record ride of l.. L. Whitman from
San Francisco to New York.
The fact that the four thousand
miles, more or less, between those
points was Travelled in fifteen and one
quarter days. with nearly sixty hours
of enforced idleness en- route. besides
delay of four days in crossing Wyo-
ming, has led to the belief that it may
be possible to cross the continent by
automobile in ten days time. As a
matter of fact, Mr.. Whitman AYERS that
he can make the trip within ten days
in Franklin car, and his running
schedule shows that his machine was
in operation not more than that time.
At a breakfast given Mr.. Whitman and
his associate transcontinental record
breakers at the Hotel Astor Mr.. Whit
man proposed that the efficiency of
American automobile construction be
proved to the world by a national tour
from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean.
This novel suggestion met with ap
proval among automobilists. By some
it was proposed to make such a tour
a go-as-you-p please affair, contesting
parties taking any route desired so
long as they report at checking sta
tions along the continental highway.
After the first furry of wonder over
the whirlwind dash or the Franklin car
from ocean to ocean the feature of the
trip that seems to awaken the most
impression was the splendid demon
stration of the efficiency of the six
cylinder motor.
Up to Mr.. Whitman'S. record run gas
oline motors of more than four cylin-
ders> were considered largely of an ex-
perimental nature. Mr.. Whitman, after
he had rested today drove down to the
City Hall, where he delivered a letter
carried by him from the Mayor of San
Francisco to the Mayor of New York.
In the absence of both Mayor and act
ing Mayor the letter was left with the
Mayors secretary. He also delivered
letter from Major General Greely at
San Francisco to Major General Wade
at Governors Island Mr.. Whitman
bears a letter from the president of
the Automobile Club of San Francisco
to the president of the Automobile Club
of America.
Mr. Whitman furnished some inter-
esting figures today in connection with
his trip. Throughout the long journey
he averaged nearly 800 miles a day
when travelling. and his average speed
in actual running time was fifteen
miles an hour For the four thousand
miles he consumed less than 275 gal
Ions of gasoline. averaging about tif-
teen miles to the gallon.
On the whole trip he had only two
punctures, and those in the West. He
put on a new set of tires only once and
that at Chicago. The only engine trou-
bles, he declares, were from dirty
spark plugs A remarkable feature OF
the record ride was the fact that the
500 miles from Buffalo to New York
were travelled within one day

a Colorado Stockman
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

MONTROSE, Colo, Aug. 1S.-An at
tempt to murder Edward Keller, a
prominent young ranch owner and
stockman of Spring Creek Mesa, and
his bride was uncovered this morning,
when it was announced that sugar he
had used IN his coffee had been doc
tored with enough strychnine to kill
score OF persons. Miss Topsy Wood
Of Paradox Valley, former sweetheart
of Keller. is under arrest, pending an
investigation. Miss Wood is said to
have frequently declared since Keller
married that she would kill him.
Miss Wood was housekeeper for Kel-
Ter for about year. Last summer she
sued him for breach of promise, but the
case was settled out of court by Kel-
Ter paying her $500 in cash. Later the
young woman sued the stockman for
wages as housekeeper.
Keller discarded Miss Wood after he
met and fell in love with another
woman, whom he married. This an
gered Miss Wood very much and she
vowed to get even"
Miss Wood denies having visited the
Keller ranch recently. but there are
many things she refuses to explain.
Her bond was fixed at $500, which was
furnished by a friend. She will have
a preliminary hearing Monday Sem
sational developments are expected.
