SHERIFF WALLER TAKES
 THOMPSON INTO COURT

gro boy driver. the ruse practise5 v Sherif Waller was successful Nae would suspect that negro boy SA 3m- panying MT. Walker was tb $lated prisoner. At the request of l. Sher- in. MT. Walker arranged to bring the boy to the city from the hiding place and deliver him to the court house.
 Where Was Thompson Hids
 Just where the negro has been hid for three days no one but Sheriff Wal Ter will say. and Sheriff Waller did not return from Birmingham last night
 In the absence of Sheriff Waller from the city, none of his deputies or office force would give out statement con- corning the whereabouts of Thompson since he was taken from the Wetump- ka Jail Friday afternoon. It was re- ported, however, that Thompson was brought to Montgomery secretly at an early hour yesterday morning and was taken to the store of -Mr. Walker in Bosuehomme, pending conference held yesterday between the Sheriff, Judge Thomas and State ofscials at the capitol. when 1t was decided to bring Thompson in to receive his sen tence. At this conference 1t was de- cided to have a special train that would make no' stops until well beyond the danger line and the State promptly of- fered such a train. State officials also gave assurances that if military pro- tection was found necessary, 1t could be had on a moments call, but fort unateiy the plans worked out so admir- ably that there was no necessity for protection.
 Louisville and Nashville Railroad off, ficials were especially prompt in com plying with the request of the State and were ready with a special train in half hour after the call for 1t was made.
 Waller Was Determined.
 It Is understood that at the confer ence held yesterday morning between Sheriff Waller, Judge Thomas and State offfcials, the Sherin declared that he had hid out and had been pursued by angry citizens as long as he would tolerate and that he proposed to put his pris- oner in the county jail where he be- longed. requesting the State officials for soldiers to assist him in protecting his prisoner.
 As result of this determination upon tn epart of the Sheriff the ruse was suggested and adopted. all plans being arranged then and there
 Where Thompson has been kept since Friday afternoon will not be known authoritatively until Sheriff Waller cares to give out such history which would prove interesting. There was
 
 rteurn to Montgomery, might decline to announce where he placed the ne- gro. because an occasion for similar cation might arise and in such an event. he would not like the public to know his successful method of hid ing a prisoner.
 Several reasonable conjectures were offered. One that has been persistent ly adhered to was that Thompson was taken from Wetumpka to Sprague Junction during the time elapsing be- tween Friday afternoon and Saturday morning and that he was closely guard ed there until early yesterday morn- ing when he was bronEht to sthe out skirts of Montgomery. On the other hand. some well informed persons de- clare that Thompson has been in a room at Walkers store since he was taken from Wetumpka, and was guard ed there by Deputy George Wilson.

CUPS FOR SENDER CLASS.
Major Hayden Orers Seven Trophies for
Competitors In Trial Races.

It is generally understood that the match
that is now being arranged for next season
bet 1--WE the Eastern Yacht Club and the
Kaiserlichcr Yacht Club OF GERMANY Will
be for the sender class. "a II was his year.
The details Of the match have not vet been
definitely settled, but three boats are to be
selected from those built in this country and
sent to Kiel to meet three German boats.
The full details Of the match will be announced
by the committee OF the Eastern Yacht Club
shortly. II ia expected by the Eastern men
that the success OF the Vim Will prove an
incentive to New York yachtsmen and that
several boats will be built in this section
and strive with the Eastern yachts for the
honor of being selected for the visit to
Germany.
This year seventeen boats took part in the
trials, and even after ten races had been sailed
and the committee had selected the three
to race against the Germans there were some
who thought the trials were not exhaustive
enough and that the three best boats had not
been selected. This feeling became so pro
nounced that Major Charles Hayden offered
a 1000 cup for a race in which the Vim,
Bonidrei. Windrim Kid and Sally were TO
meet. Commodore Park declined the contest.
His boat. the Vim, had been one Of the three
selected, and she won the Roosevelt cup.
II she had met and defeated the other three
il would simply have proved that the com
mittee had been right in selecting the vim,
but she might have been beaten on a, huk,H
and then there would have been room Tor all
sorts OF arguments.
To simplify ma tiers next season Major
Hayden has offered seven cups for the sender
class boats. Three are for Long Island
Sound racing ana three 70. Massachusetts
waters racing. Trial races are 10, be sailed
on Long IslaEd Sound and the three best
boats Of this section are TO e0ch get a cup,
one for the first. one for tho second and, one
for the third. Trials are 70 he sailed on
Warbiehead and three cups will be offered
for the three that make the best showing
there. These six cup winners are 20 meet
I'M the Anal trials on Marblehead, which are
10 be sailed 10 find out which shall be selected
for Germany. and one cup. a valuable one
is for the boat that wins out in those triaI
races.
Major Hayden said the matter is in the
hands 81 the Eastern Yacht Club. lie says
the sender class boats furnished such good
sport in the small boat racing that he IL only
TOO pleased TO help II along.

DURAY HAS LONELY PRACTICE
SPIN OVER CUP COURSE.

French Driver Not Aware His sunday Trip
Was Against the Rules -POpeIrOledO
case Not to Be ~ReOpened-A. q. VaD-
derblIts car Destroyed by Fire-GOssip.
Every one except Duray OF the French
team took things quietly yesterday along
the Nassau county circuit over which the
Vanderbilt cup race will be decided next
Saturday morning. Duray had evidently not
been informed that none OF the racing cars
we're to practise yesterday, for he drove his
Lorraine-D Dietrich racer over the 1911 miles
OF the cup course once In the early morning.
Albert Clement drove over 10 the Garden
City Hotel at noon in his racer to visit some
friends and left his racing machine out in
front OF the hotel. IL IL fitted with a different
style OF detachable rims from those used on
the other French racing cars and was an
object of unusual interest 20 the hotel guests.
After practice il over for the racing cars ut
7 o'clock this morning work will be started
on the second oilin0 Of the course. A force
Of 100 men will begin fixing up the roads to-
day and will be kept employed until next
Friday. Chairman Thompson OF the Ameri-
can Automobile Association racing board and
the Vanderbilt cup commission denied posi-
lively that Mr.. Vanderbilt or any one else
had called a meeting OF either the racing
board or cup commission for tonight to
consider reopening the case Of the Pope
Toledo racer with any idea of restoring IL TO
n place on the American team. Mr.. Thomp-
son said that ne and his associates will have
but one more meeting before the cup contest
next Saturday, the date Of which has not been
fixed. and. consequently. no call has yet been
issued for it,.
