NO AUTOMOBILE RACES
Ha1nline Track Gould Not Be Secured
by Trustees.

From present indications there will be no au-
tomobtle racing In this city for the amusements
OF the G. A. r.. visitors during the week Of
the encampment. This is the decision of the
trustees of the Minneapolis Automobile club
1t was intended to have the races at Lake
Harriet, but this idea was abandoned when
the park board refused to build speedway
around the lake. When the board met again it
was decided to race on the Hamline track, but
again the plans fell thru, as the trustees of
the state fair refused to consider this PROPOSE
ton as 1T is their belief that the automobile
racing spoils horse track.
The club is now making other arrangements
taken is to improve the roads around the city.
Some of the citizens have offered to subscribe
to good road fund If such, were started.

INQUIRY DEMANDED
Into Scandals Of Russia's Grand Ducal
Regime.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 2I.-W1th the
trials of Admirals Rojcstvensky ana
Nebogatoff out of the way, strong
effort is being made with lnfiuehtiai
officials backing, to compel the authorl-
ties to make an inquiry into the naval
scandals of the grand ducal regime, 10
which the defeat of the Russians at
the battle Of the Sea of Japan was
largely attributed. The Journal De st.
Petersburg, which is r'inistcrially sup
ported, demands in leading article to-
day. an investigation of the charges OF
corruption brought against officials and
of dishonesty in providing warships
with defective armor, guns and pro-
jectiles, which the defense vainly en-
deavored to introduce at the courts
martial of the two admirals.
Admiral Rojestvensky in an inter-
view published today opposes the con-
struction of new battleship at present
and advocates substituting the mer-
chant marine as a nursery for sailors.
