 But all this will have with the Birmingham races. M being pushed by those in char, programme for the final big day state fair and nothing will be left an= done to make the afternoon notable M Christes wonderful car will be raced Sat urday over the course at Pittsburg, upon which he was driving when he came so near losing his life two weeks ago. A nephew of the famous inventor of the ear will be at the steering wheel. This is Louis Christie Strang, who went with the car to Paris and drove in the Grand Prix, and who is noted for his daredevil ishness.
 Considerable local interest Is being aroused not only in the appearance Of the great Christie car here, but in the events for Birmingham talent. The offer of Homer George, who is here assisting Mr Barnes, to give a cup emblematic of the Birmingham championship, aroused interest yesterday All autoists who are considering entering for this event are requested to communicate with MT George at the Hotel Hillman. Other races are likely to be arranged. Considerable work is being done at the fair grounds, but an equal amount is be- ing pushed forward by the autoists, who want to make the event a reeord-breaSer. If no accidents mar the racing, 1t seems certain that Christies speed demon will accomplish new and untold feats while in Birmingham.

Even more denunciatory was the edi- toral, prtned in the Eagle of that same date, which follows:
 District Attorney Clarke Is to be com mended for the swift and vigorous pur suit of the criminal organization known in Brooklyn as the American Salva- tion army. MT. Clarke publicly stigma tized the men associated with this insti- tuition as 'perverts and grafters.' There was ample evidence to show that he was not unduly severe. It is pity that the one individual against whom the punitive processes of the criminal courts should have been directed, in the inter ests of justice, escaped arrest sud ar raignment. But much has been gained by the district attorneys office in ridding sBrooklyn of devilishly ingenious scheme to employ religion as a cloak for the ped ding of junk and for the commission of crimes that cannot be decently speci- fled in print We hope that other com munities afflicted by the American Sal vation army will profit from the experi- ence of Brooklyn. But if they are duped, it will not be the fault of District At torney Clarke or of the Eagle. Both have shes as much light on the crooked prac- tices of the army here as should be re- ouired to warn other cities against it's agents"
