Crush at Reid Reception.

London.-So many Americans at
tended Ambassador Whitelaw Reid's
Fourth of July reception that traffic
through several squares about Dor
chester house was blocked for two
hours. Mr.. Reid and the ladies of the
embassy received the guests, who in

AUTOMOBILES
IN FAST RACE
GRAND PRIx OF FRANCE AUTO.
MOBILE CLUB WON BY
ITALIAN CHAMPION.
AVERAGE MILE inst SECONDS
Only American Machine In Race,
Driven by w. c. Christie, Had
Trouble Early In Run and
Lost Out.

Dieppe.-Nazaro, the italian cham
pion, won the automobile grand prix,
covering about ATT miles in 6 hours
&c minutes SO seconds.
The race was run over a heavy
track in the presence Of a vast con-
course, with 3S participants, chiefly
French. Christie, the only American
participant driving an American ma
chine, had trouble early in the race
and did not figure among the leaders.
Szisz was second, In 6 hours 80
minutes 10 seconds; Lancia, third.
The race was marked by no serious
accidents, although a minor collision
occurred between two of the cars.
Only nine Of the contestants finished.
Shepard doggedly p~ersevered to the
end, finishing last in Z hours SO min
utes 35 seconds. The English, Bel
gian and German racers made almost
as poor a showing as Christie.
Contrary to expectations, President
Fallierres was not present. The cab
met was represented by Minister of
Public Works Barthou.
Glorious sunshine favored the start
Of the race. Fifty thousand persons
massed in and around the tribune saw
the machines bolt forward on their
dizzy journey, while 100000 others
were concentrated in other villages
along the route to view the race.
Going to the post the pilots of sew
eral of the most powerful machines
were doubtful as to whether they
would be able to complete the course
with the amount of gasoline allowed
them.
The betting odds on the fiat cars
heightened on this account. Some of
the experts even went so far as to
predict that one-third of the cars
would be stranded on the roadside be-
fore the rae was finished.
Wagner %surrenders Lead.
Wagner was in difficulties in the
fourth round and was compelled to
surrender this lead, which was taken
by Duray and Lancia in second place.
The race at this stage seemed, barring
accidents, to have narrowed down to
Duray and Lancia.
At the end of the fifth round Duray
was going at a killing pace, and as
he passed the tribune his elapsed
time was 8 hours "a minutes SIS Sec
ons, Q minutes IA seconds ahead of
Lancia. Szisz was fourth and the rest
were strung out, most hopelessly
beaten.
Ballots car collided with the car
driven by Richez, while descending
the Ancourt slope. Both were ditched
but neither of them was seriously in
jured.
Nazaro driving %furiously, covered
the seventh round in 3S minutes and
40 seconds, taking second place from
Lancia.

view Of Troops by Gen. Barry.

Havana.-The Fourth of July was
celebrated here by a grand review by

Good for you," shouted a man in
the back of the room. His ejacula-
ton was echoed and re-echoed by one
after another of the spectators. Sew
eral threw their hats into the air.
Others scram bled upon chairs to look
owe the shoulders of the crowd. The
greatest confusion prevailed.
The sentencing of the convicted
mayor was in one respect without a
parallel in the criminal annals of San
Francisco. Half a dozen times Judge
Dunno was interrupted by Schmitz,
who protested in strong words against
the delivery of a lecture" instead of
the pronouncement of judgment. He
accused the court of unnecessarily
humiliating him and giving opportu-
nifty for further humiliation by the re-
porting of his remarks in the press.
Once, replying to the prisoner,
Judge Dunno said:
Such brazen effrontery was proba.
bly, no more than should be expected
and it vas the duty of the court to
hear it in patience"

His June Pay.

San Francisco, Cal.-Mayor Schmitz
sent a formal demand upon Auditor
Horton for his full salary for the

Admiral Evans to
Command Pacific Fleet

Washington, July 5.-Rear Admiral
Robley D. Evans, commanding the At
lantic fleet, who has been selected as
commander of the Pacific armada, is
making preparations for the voyage.
1t is proposed that the battleships
shall start in the latter part of Aug
ust or early in September, cruising
down the coast of South America,
through the Straits of Magellan and up
to San Francisco.
1t is probable that the ships will
stop at South American ports, not only
to coal, but to pay friendly calls. Ad-
vantage will be taken of the oppor-
tunity to practice officers and men
in squadron, division and fleet forma-
ton.

The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1907-07-12

The removal of the ban of official
secrecy at this time from the projected
movement is to some extent due to the
recent authorized statement of Wis.,
count Aoki, Japanese Ambassador,
that his country would not regard it
as a menace to herself if the United
States chose to send the fleet to the
Pacific. The plan has been under con-
sideration since long before the San
Francisco incidents occasioned talk of
possible diplomatic troubles with ia
pan. 1t Is stated that those incidents
have been satisfactorily settled or are
in course of amicable adjustment and
the relations between the two govern
ments are undisturbed.

SUICIDE
IN new YORK CITY
charies n. BOIL Could not Brave the
vieissitudes and Financial Storms OF
Metropolitan Life.

The following story from New

details of an Arizona family's terrible
trouble in that greatest of all east
ern cities:
Charles II. Boil. who came east
from Arizona three months ago, sent
a bullet into his head in Central Park
near the Seventy second street en-
trance yesterday morning. Disap-
pointment. poverty. and the belief that
he had been done out of his little saw
ings by New Yorker led to his sui
eide.
Boil left a note addressed to Fran
els Aubrey of III Waverly Place. Au-
brey was formerly in the jewelry bus
mess, and had sold Boil a stock OF
goods with which to start business in
a small way here. Boil paid him $500
and gave notes for the rest of the
money. The first note was due in a

quitting time. Mr.. Davis last pre-
vious visit here was last August at
which time he says he concluded that
Phoenix and Roosevelt were both fine
summer resorts. At that time no ma
sonry construction had begun so this
is his first view of the actual process
of dam building at that point. The
excavation of the pit has progressed
To point exposing all the work done
last winter and is being continued
with the hydraulic pump. mule teams
and by hand. Most likely the hole will
be cleaned out soon SO more rock can
be laid in the bottom and the foun-
dation widened so masonry construc-
ton can be carried on with a larger
force.
Very nearly 5000 Yards of masonry
was in place when the floods came and
and the contractor now has 10000
yards of stone quarried and prepared
for placing in the. dam with the huge
cable and derricks and there is plenty
of cement on hand. so every day
should witness lively progress in rock
laying. In a day or two three der
ricks will be busy in this work. About
100 men are now employed and the
force will probably be Increased rap
idly from now on.
Going up the party stopped at Gran
lite Reef for two hours and a half.
Here work is being rapidly pushed and
as the preliminaries are well out of
the way the appearance of progress
will be more manifest. In another
three weeks the abutments and sluice-
.r1lxa
and the work of constructing the main
dam will be we'll under way.
Mr.. Davis is looking younger. due
perhaps to the shaving off of his mus
tache. and says he is feeling younger
ali the time It Is expected he Will
continue to get younger as the pro-
gress of the storage dam increases.
so when it is finished he can begin life.

A TRAGIC CO-INCIDtNT|
Two Men Killed at Same Spot in the Same
Manner on Same Engine in the
Past Three Years

A west-bound freight train in charge
of William Mackey and Fireman Clyde
Cahail ran onto a rock three and half
miles up the canyon last Monday night.
The accident occurred between 9 and
10 o'clock, within 200 feet of the spot
where John McGurty was killed three
years ago. McGurty, it will be re-
membered, was thrown into the river
and his body found some two weeks
after the accident. The accident then,
as now, resulted from the same cause.
Though in the McGurty incident the
rock that rolled down broke peice
out OF the rail.
In the incident of Monday night the
engine, No. 1854, was thrown from
the track and turned over, the front end
going into the water. The tender and
two or three cars left the track, but
did not turn over. Engineer Mackey
jumped and escaped with but slight
bruises. Clyde Cahail either jumped
or was thrown into the river. Wednes-
day morning four or five experienced
river men, employed by the railway
company, went to the scene to make
an effort to recover the body of Cahail.
A brakeman by the name of H. l..
Ashbaugh was riding on the engine
and remained in the cab when it turned
over. He received a number OF cuts
and bruises, but had no bones broken.
We are told by number of people
who were at the scene that it is incon-
ceivable how Ashbaugh escaped with
his life. He was taken to the Everett
hospital the following day.
The fact that the train was going up
hill and running at low rate Of speed
accounts for the slight damage to the
rolling stock. Trains were delayed fol
ten or twelve hours.
Cahail had lived here for the past
two years and formerly worked at the
sawmill. Two brothers survive him.
