GREAT FRENCH AUTOMOBILE
RACE ON AT LE MAUS
I Thirty-Four Machines For the Grand Prix.
But Not One Will Be of Either Eng
lish or American Manufacture.

lie Mans, France, June 26.--The
great automobile race, under the au-
spices of the Automobile Club of
France, which is the famous speed
contest for the Grand Prix, offered
annually by the club, began this
morning over the Sartl.f y course,
which is probably one of the best and
most interesting auto race courses
in the world. The races will occupy
two days, owing to the large number
of contestants who have entered their
machines for the great event. Thirty
four machines have been entered for
the race, a larger number than en-
tered for any previous Grand PriX
races. 1t is rather remarkable that
neither American nor English ma
chimes will take part in this race.
Thousands of automobile enthusi-
asts from all parts of Europe and
even a number of Americans and au-
tomobilists from other countries are
here to attend the race and the peo-
pie in the villages along the route in
the Sarthe district are reaping a rich
harvest from the transient guests.
For weeks the local committee in
charge of the arrangements for the
race. have devoted its time and eff
forts to the educating of the farm
ers and villagers along the route TO be
taken by the racing automobiles. The
committee made strenuous efforts TO
overcome the hostility of the country
people to automobile racing on their
roads. The members of the commit
tee called meetings of the villagers,
explained to them the advantages,
financial and otherwise, which the use
OF their roads for the grand race was
bound to have, taught them the wis

automobiles were racing on these
same roads at the speed of mile a
minute, and even tried to stir up the
interest of the simple folk in auto
rueing. by showing them einematog-
raph views of the famous automobile

was, that the farmers became, to some
extent, reconciled to the race, and
promised to keep out of the way of
the flying monsters as much as pos
sible. The roads along which the
course of the race had been fixed,

MUST PAY INSPECTION COST
Other Matters OF interest in
Senate, House and the
White House.

Washington, d. c., June 26.-The
senate today voted not to accept the
conference report on the railroad rate
bill, and Tillman, Elkins and Cullom
were reappointed to conduct a fur
ther conference.
The conference on the agricultural
appropriation bill today developed
that the difference between the nouse
and the senate in regard to the meat
inspection amendment, probably will
be sent back to the two houses for
further action or for Instructions to
the conferees. The senate represent
atives refused absolutely to consider
the provision for making an appro-
priation to pay the cost of inspection,
and insisted upon the provision of the
Beveridge bill requiring that the date
of inspection shall be placed upon
all cans of meat. Another meeting
will be held at p. m, when the con-
ferees will decide finally whether
there is a possibility of agreement
Mo More Canal Investigation.
BY vote of six to five the senate
committee on inter-oceanic canals to-
day decided not to go to the Isthmus
of Panama and take testimony in the
canal investigation. BY agreement.
also, no testimony will be taken here
until next December.
Conference of immigration.
The senate today granted the house
request for conference on the immi-
grafton bill. The differences between
the two houses on the naval appro-
priation bill have vanished, which has
had the effect Of finally passing the
bill
On the Pipe Line Amendment.
When the conference report on the
railroad rate bill was taken up in the
senate today, Elkins, who was one of
the conferees, spoke on the amend
ment to the commodity provision, us
ing the word railroads" instead OF
common carriers" He said West
Virginia is the largest oil producer in
Nthe Union, and the greater part Of the
oil is sold to the pipe line owners so
that the owners transport their own
oil and are not strictly speaking COM
mon carriers.
Long spoke on the pipe line amend
ment. Kansas, he said, had declared
the pipe lines common carriers as a
means of hitting the Standard Oil
company, but it had not the expected
effect. There had been no attempt in
Kansas to prohibit pipe lines from
transporting their own products, be-
cause it was known that the effect
would be disastrous to the independ-
ent producers.

a party descending upon her. With native hOsp-
tality, however, she gave welcome and soon
set before fine supper of scones and kangaroo
steak. This last had piquant flavor from the fact
that we had that day giant fellow, which,
clearing ten fifteen feet at bound had passed
very us, without degning to give glance.
