BICYCLE RACE DRAGS
Riders Were Nearly 400 Miles Behind
the Record, Early Today-Ten Teams
Are Expected to Finish the Race.

New York, Dec. 15.-There was no
change during the night in the position
of the riders in the bicycle race. The
men did their work mechanically,
seeming for the most part to be con-
tent with holding their place in the
race A few sprints were attempted and
were without result. The sixth and
last day Of the bicycle races heretofore
held, have seen little or no change in
position and spritless grind that is go
ing on today seemed to indicate that
the precedent would be followed in this
race. the men averaging about fifteen
miles an hour early today. Lack of
maintained speed in the race, and the
unusual delays that have occurred, are
indicated by the fact that the riders
were nearly 400 miles behind the rec
ord early today.
Ten teams remain In the race, and all
will probably finish. Vanderstuyft-
Stol, and Calvin Wiley, dropped out Of
the contest last night Both teams had
lost several laps, and there is no hope
of making this up again.
Walthour and Bedell made several
unsuccessful attempts during the fore
noon to regain the single lap that sep
arated them from the leaders. Once
only few yards full distance remain.

hour and Bedell were set back to their
position in the rear.
The score of the eight leading teams
at O'Clock was: 2.0s4 miles, laps.
Walthour- Bedell and Breton Samuel
son were one lap behind the leaders.
Walthour protested the Boston team,
-Downey and Moran, to the manage
ment declaring that they had caused
the morning spill by forcing othS,
teams up to the high mark. The man
agement warned Downey and Moran
not to repeat the performance. A COM
plant again of the health and fire con-
ditions at Madison Square Gardens was
made to the city officials by represen-
tatives of the newspapers today. Police
Commissioner Bingham says the police
report that conditions at the garden

newspapers. At / o'clock this after
noon, the eight leading teams had COW
cred 2146 miles, and laps, more than
400 miles behind the record.

MYSTERIOUS THEFTS
Purses Containing Considerable Money
Taken From Teacher and Basket Ball
PIayers-No Clue to the Thief.

Special to Mmes-Republican.
Boone, Dec. 15.-Since Friday after
noon at 5 o'clock, two sums of money
have mysteriously disappeared in this
city from their owners and up to noon
today no trace as to how the money
was lost or who has it could be secur-
ed. The only solution of the problem
in both cases is that robbery was
committed, and yet in one case the
loser Of the money is loath to believe
that it was stolen, hoping that merely
a mistake occurred and that the hand
bag will be returned.
Miss Grace Aimee Reed, OF the high
school teaching force and coach of the
Boone high school basket ball team,
had her pocsetbook taken Friday after
noon between 5:15 and 500 o'clock
from the dressing room of the girls
gymnasium. Miss Reed was giving the
Boone girls some final coaching pre-
pairing them for the Marshalltown game
9
and had put her handbag on a small
box in this room. One of the girls lef.
at SIS o'clock and it was 500 o'clock
when the handbag was missed. Miss
Reed Immediately 'phoned to the girl
who had left and she distinctly remem-
bered seeing the handbag on the box
where Miss Reed had placed it. A
search was made but the handbag could
not be found. Miss Reed had SIS
of her own money in the handbag, $50
basket ball money, her check book.
bank book, school keys, etc. Miss. Reed
states that so far as she knows no one
entered the gymnasium, and she is at
a loss to know how the pocketbook was
taken.
A player on the Boone first team last
evening in the r. r. Y. M. C. AIDES
Moines contest placed his clothes and
SIS in one of the Y. M. c. "A. lockers.
While the game was in progress. and
the people were all interested in the
sport, someone entered and stole the
SIS. There is, no clue as to who did
this work.

Forecin Powers Expect War.

Berlin, Dec 15.-The relations be-
tween the United States and Japan ex-
cite extraordinary interest both in gov-
ernment and diplomatic circles here.
tion with several persons recently, and
is thoroughly informed regarding
Roosevelt's personal views on the sub
ject. It is believed that Russia's more
resolute attitude against Japan's re-
quests for trade and colonization rights
on the Amur river and in Siberia and
for fishery privileges on the adjacent
Russian coasts is partly due to the dis
cussion Of the California school qnes-
tion between the United States and
Japan.
The Russian foreign Office has been
subjected to steady diplomatic press
ure on the part of Japan in an effort to
obtain these Mr-reaching rights. The
result is the idea has been created at
the Russian foreign office that Japan
sion for the renewal Of war with Rus
sia This idea pervaded conversations
which the Russian foreign minister
Iswolsky, had with government officials
and others whom he met here on the
occasion Of his visit to Berlin to six
weeks ago. 1swolsky met many prom
inent people here and talked with ex-
9traordinary freedom. Among German
military and naval officers the possi-
bility of a conflict between the United
states and Japan has been quite free
ly discussed and professional views
appear to agree that Japan would take
the Philippine islands and place upon
the United States the necessity of con-
Quoting, across the Pacific, prolonged
sea and land campaigns which would
call forth immense expeditions against
a great natural obstacle.
It was known here in June that the
British admiralty had considered the
oretically the possibility of war be-
tween Japan and the United States as
likely to occur within twenty-five
years. Some British naval men are
reported to have expressed belief that
the contest would occur within five
years. In any case it is certain the
foreign offices are at present making
inquiries regarding the temper of the
japanese people and the government of
Japan.
