THEY SEE NO GOOD IN
AUTOMOBILE RACING

DETROIT, Mich, October 2O.-As an ad-
vertisement, as a sport and as a help to
the automobile manufacturers of the coun-
try, the managers of six of the largest
motor car companies in this city hold the
Vanderbilt cup races in very low esteem.
Frank f. Miles said: Horse racing has
the laudable aim of tending to develop and
increase the usefulness of horse to man.
1t calls forth careful breeding and has the
advantage of lettering and strengthening
the breed. If the automobile races tended
to bring out new inventions and improve
ments that would increase the efficiency
of the machines there would be :-,me ex-
cuse for the sacrifice of life, limb, time and
r,orey attending the contests, but such IS
not the result. The practical value to the
makers of touring cars and trucks is nil.
As advertisement the money spent is
wasted as the prospective purchase is not
influenced by the fact that a manu- acturer
was able to turn out car that could race
over a course at a speed of sixty miles an
hour"
Wilfred c. Laland Is of similar opinion.
II would like to see it done away with
entirely he said. THE practical vl.ue of
racing advertisement, and - aid
to automobile manufacturers, has never
been successfully demonstrated even ny
the most enthusiastic adherents CT the
sport. 1t looks to me like a gamble wi h.
out even the remotest chance of tne manu-
facturer eve" holding winning hand"
The racing car is the prndigal son of
the automobile business" said w. G. Nor
ley. ..All sane dealers would he only too
glad to see it done away with. OF course,
it is remarkable that ears can be built that
can race over the ground at such a ter
rife speed when viewed in the light of
modern mechanical development, but aside
from reminding Us that we living in
the twentieth century the races l-a prac-
tically valueless. l believe. however, chat
the races stimulate the general interest in
automobiles"
OF all the manufacturers and 1ealers in
the city the only ones known to have wit
messed the races were Henry Ford and f.
CouZins.
H. C. Waldren expressed himself against
the races: Viewed as business PROPOSE
ton they are failure any way you look at
them. If we were in the amusement bust
ness we might consider automobile rae
ing. Any $40 week advertising man would
know that the races have little or no ad-
vertising value
d. ]. O'Brien said that the races were all
right for mllionaires to indulge in, but
that a manufacturer should keep out of
them.

establishing a new indoor record. is getting

fident of retaining his two-mile title, which
he has held for three years.

poets to make his temperance iii the

tests Morgan and Coe will clash. The list
of events follows:

REPRIMAND FOR YOUNG
Bonaparte Writes Mild Letter Which
Will Probably Be Pub
ished
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.--Before his
departure for Charlestown. Secretary
Bonaparte wrote letter of reprimand
to Commander Lucien Young. in exetu-
tion of the sentence of the court
martial which found that officer guilty
of remissness Of duty in connection
with the boiler explosion on the gun
boat Bennington.
The reprimand is not what is known
i'm the navy as a public reprimand,
the nature of which naturally requires
that it shall be administered in a pub
lie manner,
In view of the peculiar circumstances
of the case, Assistant Secretary New
berry, who is acting as secretary, has
decided that the letter shall not be
made public by the navy department
and that its publication shall be left
to the discretion of the recipient. The
reprimand Is somewhat mild in tone,
and the letter is not altogether uncom-
plimentary to Commander Young. 1t is
expected, therefore, not at all unlikely
that Commander Young will himself
consent to its publication.

SECEDE FROM PANAMA
Grand Chief of San Bias Indians An
nounces Allegiance of Tribe
to Colombia
~ Associa led Press.


NEW YORK. Jan. "a cable dis
patch to the Herald from Panama
says;
Captain Lovelace of the Panama
eunboat Orient, Monday brought a
letter to. President Amador written by
Innannaquina, a grand chief of the
San Bias Indians on the lower Atlantic
coast of Panama, announcing their Sc
cession from Panama and the renewal
of their allegiance to Colombia.
There. are about thirty thousand OF
these Indians along 10 miles of the
most fertile part of the coast of Pana-
ma. and in all the villages the Colom-
bian flag is being displayed.
This revolt against Panama's rule is
said to be fomented by Colombians
and, as these Indians have never been
conquered or subjected. the matter OF
bringing them back under this coun-
trys flag, unless accomplished diplo-
matlcally, may prove serious. No an
nouncement has yet been made of
Panama'S intended course, but the
matter was discussed last night.
Among the reasons given for the Sc
cession are said to be the promises
made by Huertas a former general of
the Panama army, which have not
been fulfilled.

CLEV ELAND MAN
ENDS HIS LIFE
SUICIDE is A PROMlNENT
CITIZEN
Leland w. Prior, One of the Best
Known Finaneers in the Forest
City, Shoots Two Bullets Into
His Head
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Jan. Iceland w.
Prior, one of the best known men in
financial circles in Cleveland and
junior member of the stock brokerage
firm of Denison, Prior & Co, shot and
killed himself in room at the Hol-
lenden hotel this afternoon. Mr.. Prior
went to the hotel on Monday afternoon.
He did not leave the hotel between
Monday afternoon and the time of his
death.
All this morning, according to the
attaches of the hotel, he paced rest
lessly up and down the corridors of the
hotel. He appeared to be worrying
about something. Shortly after noon
N. B. Hasbrouck of the firm called to
see Prior. They had a long talk. They
sat in Prior's room and Hasbrouck
evidently made efforts to rouse Prior
from his nervousness.
In killing himself Prior evidently
stood in front of a mirror. One shot
is still in his head. The other went
clear through the temples and broke a
picture on an opposite wall. Prior fell
in his tracks.
George B. Denison. brother of the
senior member of the firm, said he
could not understand Mr.. Priors de-
sire to end his life.
Mr.. Prior was about 45 years of age,
married and had two children, He was
also IL member of the New York stock
exchange, as well as a member of the
Chicago stock exchange and the Chi
cago board of trade.
The firm Of Denlson. Prior & co.
was one of the heaviest dealers in
stocks and bonds in the central west.
Mr.. Prior has been foremost in tinanc-
ing a number of large brewery con-
soltdations in Ohio and other states.
Charles e. Denison, senior member of
the firm, who arrived today from his
home in Boston and who has control
of the eastern bond business of the
firm, said tonight that in order to pro-
tect debtors and creditors alike he had
ordered the business closed and re-
quested a committee to assist him in
making a thorough and complete in
Vestiga tion of the affairs of the firm,
Il believe" he added, lit will be
found that a large stock transaction
was the cause of Mr.. Priors act"
The members of the committee are
prominent bankers. 1t is believed by
persons acquainted with the amount
of business done by the firm of Deni-
son, Prior & Co. that it is involved
in the stock market to the extent of
at least half million dollars.
