BICYCLE RACE
RIDERS ALREADY FEELING Eff
FECTS OF THE GRIND.

NEW YORK, December 11.-Although
more than one hundred and thirty miles
behind the record made by Miller and
Waller in 1899 the riders in the sx-day
bicycle race are feeling severely the effects
of the prolonged grind. Seven Of the six
teen teams which started Monday morning
already have given way~to fatigue or re-
tired on account of injuries or illness. The
latest Withdrawals came just after day
break. when Samuelson and Mitten and
Wilcox and Williams left the track for
good.
In fairly good condition was forced by
the weakness Of his team mate. Mitten
was thoroughly worn out and was unable
to continue. The withdrawal Of Wilcox
and Williams was due to an injury sus-
tanned by Wilcox in a spill at midnight.
One of his fingers was broken.
About the only excitement during the
early hours was furnished by the spec
tators while the riders plodded along in
a spiritless way. Shortly after daybreak,
while the all-nighters were nodding in
their seats, some one threw an apple into
a box on the 9th street side of the gar
den. 1t struck woman in the face.
A man who accompanied the woman
started out in search of the thrower, and
before he could be queted there was al
most riot In that section OF the build
ing. A large force of uniformed attend
ants finally succeeded in restoring order.
few minutes later fifty toughs rushed
the 26th street gallery entrance and tore
the doors from their hinges. Nearly all
of them got inside without the payment
of an admission fee before the inside
guards had time to interfere.
At 10 O'Clock Fogler-Moran. Rutt-Stol.
Georget-Dupre and ebs-Vanderstuyft
had covered 90 miles 9laps; Logan Bard
gett, Calvin Wiley, Downing-Downey and
Vanoni- Breton had 800 miles s laps to
their credit. and the Lawson Macdonald
team brought up the rear with 992 miles
laps. The leaders at that hour were near
ly one hundred and forty miles behind the
record for fifty-seven hours made by Mil
Ter and Waller in 1899.

Two O'Clock Score.
LOOK FOR ASSAILANT
POLICE TRYING TO FIND MAN
WHO ATTACKED WOMAN.

Report was made to the police this after
noon of bold assault which occurred last
night about 1890 O'Clock on the Sheriff
road. only a short distance from the Ben
ming race track. Mrs. Alice Gordon. COL
ored, who resides on the Sheriff road, was
the victim, her assailant being a colored
man. The police think he may be the
man who made an effort to assault Miss
Hayes at Kenilworth the night before:
Mrs. Gordon was a passenger on Ken
ilworth car that started from 18th and H
streets northeast shortly after ~ o'clock.
She told the police that she noticed that
man on the car seemed to pay particu-
lar attention to her. He was well dressed
and wore a white hat, she said, and left
the car short distance from the Sheriff
road. When she got off the car and
started toward her home, she told the
police. she was surprised to see the man
in question. He insulted her. she says.
and when she screamed he dealt her a
blow in the face. She was knocked down
and one tooth broken. During the excite
ment the man dropped his hat and it was
turned over to the police of the ninth pre-
cinct. Mrs. Gordon gave the police a
good description of her assailant and
says she would be able to identify him.

A CONSTRUCTION IS ASKED
LATEST PHASE OF THE FISH
HARTMAN CONTROVERSY.
Attorneys for Former Appear in
Court at Chicago Seeking Ruling
,on Order Issued October IS.

CHICAGO, December IL Attorneys for
Stuyvesant Fish appeared today before
Judge Ball in the superior court and
issued October Is. This was granted on
the prayer of Mr. Fish and restrained
PSI ,231 shares of Illinois Central stock
from being counted at the annual cleo
ton in any vote, or where they should
prove decisive in the taking of any vote
throughout the meeting.
Henry w. Leman, counsel for Mr.. Fish,
asked that the order be construed for
the benefit of all concerned. He inti-
mated that this action was necessary be-
cause of an alleged erroneous belief on
the part of the defendants. the Hartman
faction. that the election December 10
no longer hangs on the injunctional pro-
ceedings. M. Leman said that he de-
sired to give3the defendants ample time to
bring before the court the question of
their right to vote all stock standing in
their name.
Statement of Counsel.
In his request as filed in court, counsel
for Mr.. Fish declares that up to the
present time neither of the main de-
PENDANTS, the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany, the Railroad Securities Company,
nor any of the alleged substituted per-
sons in whose names it is charged the
stock owned by these companies stands
has made any motion to dissolve the in
junction or take any steps which put at
issue their right to vote the stock.
1t is held that the defendants are claim
ing that the court order of October Is
is still operative over the meeting of
December IS, and must be applied to the
proceedings of that meeting, so that the
defendants are entitled at such meeting,
professionally. to vote the enjoined stock,
and if such PROVISIONAL voting Of such
stock gives a majority for any motion
or resolution, then that motion or reso-
luton shall not be of avail and the meet
ing must be adjourned. Mr.. Fish and his
attorneys claim that the modifying order
does not apply to the meeting of Deem
Der IS, and that the enjoined stock can
not be voted unless the court dissolves
the injunction.
The formal proceedings in the hear
ing on the injunction will commence
before Judge Ball tomorrow morning.

and OF stirring up discord. was begun be-
fore the board Of education at the Frank
lin building shortly before 3 O'Clock this

condition today is reported to be not as
favorable as It was several days ago. In
preparation for the defense. to be begun
this afternoon. the superintendent and
his counsel, Attorney Greed NJ. Fulton
held consultation yesterday. DR.. Chan
celior reclined on a large sofa for about an
hour and a half, it is stated, while the
conference was in progress. but at the end
of that time he was too weak Tor the con-
ference to proceed. and Mr.. Fulton says
he practically collapsed.
The attitude which the defense taxes
this afternoon. according to the counsel
for the superintendent, will be that the
defendant has done much good for the
local schools. and has instituted many re-
forms. On the basis OF these dement's. II
be kept here.
In refutation Of the charges involving
the denial of the authorship of the Educa-
tional Review article. the superintendent
refusal to be present at the Bruce investi-
CATION, his absence from board meeting
to teach in Chicago. his order to destroy
"a, eco text books, and the general crti-
cisms by the superintendent of District
officials and members of the school board.
it is expected that DR.. Chancellor must
give the main testimony, and his state
ment is expected later.
1t was learned today that DR.. Chancel-
lor, through his attorneys. plans to make
a fight before the Senate investigating
committee. That investigation Is expected
to be broader in scope than the present
hearing, which is limited to specific
charges, and the committee will have
power to swear the witnesses. Some sem
sational testimony is expected to be intro
duced at that time. 1t was limited by the
attorneYs for the superinte ndent.

PAOLUCCI TO HANG
DECISION OF LOWER COURT AT.
FIRMED-oTHER DECISIONS.

The Court of Appeals of the District
of Columbia this morning affirmed the
decision of the trial court in the case
of Joseph Paolucci who was, March
8, 1907, convicted of the murder of Eliza
beth v. Dodge September 10. 1906, and
afterward sentenced to be hanged.
Attorneys for the prisoner entered a
motion in the trial court for a new trial
on the grounds that one of the jurors that
convicted Paolucci was prejudiced against
foreigners. and especially Italians. and
that as the convicted man was a member
of that race he had not been given a fair
and impartial trial. The trial court over
ruled the motion and refused a new trial.
The case was then taken to the Court
of Appeals of the District of Columbia.
Paoluccf was twice sentenced to be
hanged. the last time the date of his ex-
ecution being fixed for December . last,
but inasmuch as the Court of Appeals had
not rendered its decision Justice Barnard.
pending the higher courts decision, fixed
the date of execution for January 20, 1908,
and unless the case is taken to the United
States Supreme Court Paolucci will be
hanged on that date. Reports from the
District Jail say that the prisoner is in a
very low state of health. and there exists
doubt if he will survive until the day
set for the execution.
Attorneys T. c. Taylor. Lambert &
Mclean and r. II. Yeatman, counsel for
the prisoner, will apply for a writ of GER
tiorari to the United States Supreme
Court. Should this be denied application
for lunacy inquiry will be made.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 1.-THE master
manager OF the Independence League. the
political organization created by w. r
Hearst, announced today that the league
is to be continued as a national political
party. 1t is to be strengthened and ex-
tended In every state to the end that Il
may in time supersede the democratic
party. 1t has already become the second
party in voting strength in the state OF
Massachusetts,. The. master manager of
the league said in part:
EARLY next spring a conference OF the
state leaders of the league will be held
in this city or Chicago to decide the ques-
ton of holding a national convention of
our organization to nominate a national
ticket In the meantime we shall extend
and strengthen the organization in every
state. The present sentiment In the
league seems to be in favor of holding
national convention.
THE democratic party is going TO
pieces. 1t Is divided into two factions
and the factions are fighting each other
harder than they are lighting the repub-
leans, or any other outside party. IL
the de democratic party is to lie destroyed
by internal strife. which seems to be
its fate, there should be some organiza-
ton to take its place and fight for real
democratic principles. For that reason.
IL for no other, we shall expand the
organization of the Independence
League"

CANDIDATES LOOMING up.

The candidates for State Offices
are beginning to loom up in the
different parts of the State. We
notice that Col. Ruffin G. Pleasant
of Shreveport and Mr. P. A. Som
payrac of Lake Charles have an
nounced for Attorney General.
Col. Pleasant is native of Union
parish. and Mr.. Sompayrac is a
native of Natchitoches parish.
Both gentlemen are popular at
their homes and in their native
parishes. Mr.. Samuel c. McLaw-
rason. of West Feliciana parish,
has announced himself for Lieut.
enant Governor, and we also no.
tice that the friends of Judge Ben
P. Edwards of BienSille parish are
soliciting him to become a candi-
date. Should he decide to make
the race he will be a formidable
candidate. There is no man in
North Louisiana more popular
and better qualified for the office
than Judge Edwards and should
there be vacancy in the Cover
nor's office no man would fill the
Office with more credit than he.
