SHEPARD AS AN AUTO DRIVER.
Raced Last Year In n Once Fined
for Killing q Girl.

Raced Last Year in France-ODc Fined
for killing q Girl.
Elliott Fitch Shepard, whose car killed
Curt l.. Gruner Of Passaic, and who drove
the 100 horsepower Hotchkiss racer az a
member of the French team, made his debut
as a racing driver in the Grand Prix of the
Automobile Club of France last June, when
he finished fourth in the big field that started
in the first days half Of the contest. He
was doing well on the second day when
one Of the wire spoked wheels with which
his racer was equipped collapsed on a turn
and forced him to retire from the race.
In August of last year Shepard was
driving q touring car along the streets Of
Paris when his car struck and killed a girl.
The French authorities charged that the
car was going at a rate in excess Of the
speed limit and that Shepard did not stop
after the accident. Sheparde defence was
that the car was going at the rate Of only
II miles an hour, and tina he was not
aware Of the accident and had no knowledge
how IL occurred. On account of the fire.
uuency Of accidents OF this kind the au-
thorities imposed an exemplary sentence.
He was lined $40 and ordered to pay 1900
damages to the girls parents. This order
" NJ OOhlAplACA ~ ghAo n -
prison sentence was suspended.
Shepard IL the only son OF the late Col.
Elliott Fitch Shepard, who died in this
city thirteen years ago, and a grandson OF
the late William Fl. Vanderbilt. He is 30
years old and was born in East Forty
fourth street, New York city. He was
married on April 10, 1897, to Mrs. Alfred
Potter, a Philadelphia widow, who had
originally come from G~reenport, L.. l.,
where she was Esther Virgins, daughter
of a s~torekeeper.
After his marriage Shepard went abroad
and took up n residence in Paris. In Au-
gust, 1909, Mrs. Shepard brought. suit for
divorce against her husband and Justice
Steckler was appointed referee to hear
the case. IL was dropped and never came
to trial, although the young couple sep
arated
Soon after arriving in Paris Shepard
embarked in the liquor business and is
said to rave lost heavily. His mother set
him up in the banking business, but he
soon failed, and it was reported that he had
succeeded in again getting rid OF another
fortune.
Next he was heard OF as a manufacturer
OF automobiles. He bought the patent
rights on a double cylinder opposed hori-
zontal engine and built a factory near
Paris for cars equipped with this engine.
He completed one machine, which was
exhibited in Paris in 1897, in a tent in the
Tuilleries Gardens. There were less than a
dozen exhibitors. After three years he
found his enterprise 80 expensive thai he
could not continue il. He haA be,n with
the Hotchkiss automobile firm for the last
two years.

THIRTEEN YEARS
UnIucky Number for Dakota woman.

The question whether the number 10"
is really more unlucky han any other
number has never been entirely settled in
every ones mind.
A so. Oak. woman, after thirteen years
Of misery from drinking coffee, found a
way to break the -unlucky spell She
writes:
FOR thirteen years | have been a ner-
vous wreck from drinking coffee. My liver,
stomach, heart-in fact, my whole system
being actually poisoned by it.
LAST year | was confined to my bed for
six months. Finally it dawned on me that
coffee caused the trouble. Then | began
using Postum instead of ordinary coffee,
but with little faith. as my mind was in
such a condition that | hardly knew what

began to use Postum, ] was able TO read

Johnny Brooks's escape from death by
this car was marvellous, as was also that
Of many persons in the crowd. The UNI
steerable car just missed a small stand
full OF people or one side Of Lockhart's
house. DR.. Weillschott n Colombo. in
the Fiat thought and acted like a Hash IN
their efforts to avoid an accident.
After the break, Mechanician Colombo
had a saddened face. He dejectedly tore
of the rear tires to be sent around for the
emergency use Of Iancia and Navarro. the
other Fiat drivers. He ripped OF straps
and other little trappinGs around the ma
chine and flung them into the seat, hall
spitefully.
Just after the race, Colombo was de-
scribing the accident in Italian words
and gestures to one of his compatriots.
To an outsider the story was told in a long
sweeping wave of the m~echanician's arm
down the road toward the place where
the machine had first felt the break. Then
an expressive glance from the Italian
to the broken steering gear was followed
by a quick, sharp streaking "SZizsI" and an
other sweep OF the arm to where the car
had landed in the field.
Meanwhile Mr.. +. Iockhart, to whose
yard the broken machine was ragged.
with sudden thought. was using Colombo's
friend as an interpreter to force the now
stolid aut oist TO show cause why he should
keep his machine on his lawn any longer.
You've ruined my beautiful flower bed,
already" he said, as he pointed in a grandly
indefinite way to where a plantain crop
had been cut to pieces,

PASSAIC, N. j., Dot. 6.-kurt L. GTuner,
The Passaic man who was killed in the
vanderbilt cup race to-day. FOR several
years had been superintendent Of the starch
ing department OF the Mosquito Net ting
Mills here, owned by ex-Mayor Andrew
Mclean, ,Gruner was married and had
gyears old, and a son, Louis, 7 years old.
His widow before her marriage was Miss
Helen King, daughter Of Peter King. "A
Wholesale florist Of Wellington, a suburb
OF Passaic.
Mr.. King is worth several hundred thou
sand dollars. Gruner's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ernest Gruner, live at 242 Woodbine
avenue in Brooklyn. Gruner some time
ago invented a starch used extensively
IN the mill department in which his son
was employed. The elder Gruner notified
his daughter-in-law of the accident and
she fastened to Brooklyn with her children.
The dead man was a great dog fancier and
owned many Great Danes. He il said to
have been acquainted with Elliott r.
Shepard, by whose car he was killed.

All the drivers slowed down considerably
as they approached il, some to half speed
and less. Tracy took il in most daring
fashion. He slowed only a little AZ he
came down the slight hill approaching it
and would skid far out after he had rounded
it. His fourth and fifth turns were marvels
OF speed. Wagner seemed to round the
bend in the most finished form Of all, always
hitting it with precision. IN his fifth

scraped the crowd pretty closely and caused
a fiutter all along the stretch after he had
rounded the bend.
Haynes, in his own car. smiled every
time he rounded the curve. LanCia and
Duray earned the admiration OF the crowd
for the even handling OF their machines
all through the race on this turn.
The eighth round furnished a pre- tty
pursuit race among the leaders. Lancia
was around first like a whirlwind, taking
the turn close and skidding little Two
minutes later Jenatzy appeared. His
~mechanician. Rob ATto, WITS leaning out
and looking behind, watching Wagner
separated by two car lengt tbs but really
six or seven minutes ahead. Jenatzy took
the curve anXiously but well; Wagner coolly
and equally as IA u. On the last round
Wagner waved his hand in recognition of
the cheers he received.
On the Spinney Hill road the race was
exceedingly interesting. As the hill is
steep and the curves are fairly broad, every
car was run there at full speed. Many
pretty dresses were ruined by the showers
Of oily mud which the cars tossed up as
they skidded. The most exciting event
there was the wrecking of the Weillschott
Fiat car, and the escape from death Of twelve
year-old John Brooks, b was run over.
DIR. W~eillschott started over the course
at a fearful pace. According TO some OF
the Fiat helpers he was picked as the win
ming member. Of their team because of his
daring. Just before the accident, when
he had complet ted practically two thirds
Of the course, he was only one minute be
hind the winner of the race, who was also
the ~speediest around this first lap.
The accident TO Weillschott happened
Just opposite the scene of the wrecking of
the Matheson car driven by Mongini in
the elimination races on September %.

Hotel. Manhasset, and then goes up a steep
grade. The machines hardly negotiated
the first turn before they we're on another,
sharp and continuous, and veering of to
the right. All of this twisting road was
slippery and only required some such break
as that which happened to the Fiat to cause
a serious accident.
The connecting rods of the steering gear
on the racer were broken of close to the
body of the machine, so that to run il any
longer was out of the question. The crank
was bent and the front wheels thrown out

Smashup Between Haynes and Christie
AVerted Narrowly.
A sharp piece Of work by Haynes and
Christie saved their cars from a smashup
at Krug's corner in Mineola during the
first lap. Rain was still falling and the cor
ner was exceedingly treacherOus. Haynes
took the turn at a lively clip. His car
skidded. the brake band looked and the car
came to a sudden stop against the frail wire
netting against which a crowd OF people
had PRESSED to get a view Of the course.
Before it'stopped, however, Haynes man
aged to swing the head OF his machine
tow ard the road, so that only the rear wheels
crashed into the fence.
RChristie, hardly fifty feet behind Haynes,
managed to make a short turn and avoid
Haynes, when an absent minded deputy
sheriff walked directly in front. In order
to keep from hitting the man Christie
changed his course and pointed his car
straight at h Haynes machine and the
crowd behind the netting. sing all his
power on the brake and by cool headed
steering. he halted within a foot of the
crowd with a noise that sounded like the
ripping Of a circus tent.
Until the course had become fairly dry
most Of the drivers were wary at krug's
corner. and rounded IL cautiously. IL was
not until the fourth lap that Wagner. Lam
cha, Jenatzy and the other d~aredevils
began to rip around Krug's on tw&wheels.
II is estimated that nearly 20,OOOf persons
were near his corner Of the course. After

GARDEN CITY, Oct. 8.-After the race for
the Vanderbilt cup to-day the racing board
Of the American Automobile Association
held a meeting in the Garden City Hotel
and decided that no more races should he
ED under the auspices Of the association
on the course used to-day.
Chairman Thompson said the board had
come to this decision because it had been
found impossible to keep the crowds of
spectators In check and to avoid accidents.
He sah that in the future IL similar contests
should he decided on they would he held
at some place further down the island.
Mr.. Thompson said the association had
spent thousands Of dollars in the erection
OF wire fences along the course in order TO
keep the public from crowding on the tracks
and getting in harms way. These fences
were six feet high and they were sur
mounted by two feet OF barhed wire, a height
Of eight feet In all. This precautionary
Measure was Of 10 avail in many cases. as
some Of the spectators had brought with
them nippers with which they had cut
their way through the fences.
Mr.. Thompson said that as far as he
could learn from eyewitnesses three cars
we're travelling close together at the time
hat Gruner was killed. He said he had
been informed hat after the first car had
passed Gruner jumped out into the road to
look at the one coming along after it. When
the second car had passed Gruner again
jumped out and this time was struck and
killed by Mr.. %Shepard's machine.
According to Mr.. Thompson. Shepard
did not know that he had hit any one until
he stopped at the garage at East Norwich.
Shepard. Mr., Thompson said, found that
there was something the matter with the
crank of his machine and stopped at the
garage to see what the trouble was. . 1t was
found that the crank had been bent, and his
~mechanician then told Mr.. Shepard that his
car had hit some one and that he thought
it wal a man that had been struck. On
hearing this Mr.. Shepard telephoned to
Chairman Thompson, asking him to try
to find out il any one had been hit along
the course. Mr.. Shepard then withdrew
from the race.
