Pro mpt Start Saturday for Run From
Pittsburg to Bedford.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 2o.-The Glidden
automobile tourists got away promptly this
morning on the run from Pittsburg to Bed
ford Springs The first car left the Pitts
burg control shortly after o'clock and
within an hour the fifty-second and last
car was on its way. Eight and a half hours
will be allowed to cover the distance OF
ninety-nine and eight-tenths miles and as
the roads will be rough, 70, y and noun
famous it is expected the cars will be sub
jected to the severest test of the tour.
Sunday the contestants will rest at Bed
ford Springs and Monday morning they
wnl start for Baltimore.
Twenty cars still maintain their perfect
scores, but If the average Iercentage falls
bv the wayside every day on the run from
here TO New York, the finishing point. as
it has since the tour started, there Will be
no perfect scores.
Speaking of the tour c. f. Ghdden said:
1T has been the most successful yet at
tempted and the work of the drivers could
not he improved upon. There have been
accidents, but this was in the main due to
the unfamiliarity of the drivers with the
roads. The roads of eastern ONO and
western Pennsylvania belong to that class
known to automo lists as bad and wretch

GREAT WAVE OF CRIME
NEW YORK CONDITIONS CHARGED
TO FOREIGNERS.

NEW YORK, July 20-Hordes of immi-
grants, including among their number hum
dreds and thousands of criminals and the
scum of Europe we're blamed by Police
Commissioner Bingham today for the wave
Of crime against women and children which
has swept over this city during the last few
weeks Police Commissioner Bingham
said today that he needs 1900 more police
men, and added:
'Unquestionably, the enormous hordes Of
immigrants that are coming here have a
good deal to do with crimes against women
and children. These particular crimes are
done by foreigners. by fellows who can
not talk the English language 1t is this
wave Of immigration that lands hundreds
and thousands. partly criminals and partly
fellows who don't know what liberty
means and don't care, who don't know
our customs, and are the scum of Europe
mostly.
why this immigration is allowed on
the east coast and not on the west coast
seems to be and, guess all know. is simply
a question of votes. The solution of the
problemf is to prohibit immigration, and
when we come to executing immigration
laws it Is found to be practically impos-
sible to deport people under the laws

tended to the employees of the tugboats, with
the result that all traffic between Lake La
doga and the Nava IS tied UP. The grain

heavy losses.

No Emergency Shown.

The application for injunction was
made a week ago, but the court declined to
grant the restraining order without hearing
the states counsel. Attorney General
Thompson appeared for the state and pre-
scented afidavits to show that the state
sought merely to get a decision of the
courts on the validity of the law, and as
serted that there was no intention on the
part of the state railway commission to
prosecute the express companies Tor viola
ton of the law until the courts have passed
on that question.
The court said there was no emergency
shown to exist by which the express COM
panies were entitled to an injunction.

Cabinet Formally Notified.

The Korean cabinet has formally notified
the Japanese government of the abdication
of the emperor and the accession of the
crown prince. During the night the imper-
ial deputies visited the mausoleums and
made the same announcement to the spirits
of their ancestors.
The events occurring here, which are
working to the advantage Of Japan, are
not commented upon at the Japanese resi-
dency general except as they do not af-
feet the program already planned.
The new emperor will occupy the north
palace. the former emperor remaining in his

Sunday night supper should be jol-

important part. One should always
have on hand head of lettuce or
some other kind of salad, and this
forms an attractive centerpiece placed
in cut glass bowl.
Little saucers of preserves or fresh
ly sliced fruit or else some simple cold
pudding with cream sauce may be put
at each place.
On the chatting dish you may prepare
any one of the following simple dishes
Dreamed oysters or lobster meat. seram-
bled eggs with cheese, Clipped beef
omelet chicken hash with green pep
