BY THE JOURNALS Special Wire
LONDON, Sept 26-There win be a
race for the Americas cup In 1908 Il
the British sporting element can ar
range one. despite the New York
Yacht Clubs refusal TO consider Sir
Thomas Ipton's challenge for a race
with a 6S-footer. Sir Thomas is not
available this morning. but his closest
advisor and confident said to-day.
This preliminary refusal Of tho
challenge causes us no surprise In
fact we rather expected It, It does not
mean, however, that there will neces-
sarily not be a race next year. II We
can secure just the slightest concession
from the Now York Yacht Club we
are willing to race and we can build q
9O-footer just as easily as We can
6S-footer."
While members Of the various yacht
clubs here declare publicly that they
hope for a race next year, the anti
American element that Is much In evil
.dence al times Is openly asserting tho
New York Yacht Club Is crawnshing
because it fears defeat They declare
that Upton intended 10 challenge with
n modified White Heather designed by
Fifo and only slightly smaller than
Nyles Kennedy's superfine racing craft.

Runyan Was Betrayed

BY Our Own Wire, Publishers Press.
NEW YORK. July s.-Betrayed by a
woman with whom he had taken up
and upon whom he had lavished money
stolen from the Windsor Trust Com
pany, of which he was paying teller.
Chester b Runyan. heretofore known
as an exemplary citizen and devoted
family man, was arrested in the apart
ments of the woman.
There is a suggestion of dual iden-
tity and those who know Runyan are
amazed at his action. none more so.
perhaps than his wife, who was devot-
ed to him.
Mrs. Laura NJ. Carter, in whose fiat
in Harlem he hid until his arrest. and
who finally gave him up to the police.
is held simply on suspicion.
While Runyan and Mrs. Carter are
safely in the authorities hands where
is $4,000 or so of the money?
Detectives have searched the apart
ment in which Runyan was found. But
not a cent has turned up. Runyan is
held on a grand larceny charge.
From most atfectionate couple Run
yam and Mrs. Garter have become bitter
enemies Each accuses the other OF
having hidden the missing money.
Runyan's version is that $4,000 went
in Wall street. There is no hope OF
getting this back. The teller also as
serts he gave $4,000 10 Mrs Carter
and that $4,000 more disappeared mys-
teriously while he lay hidden in the
fiat. The police found S54,41O in his
valise. For the few odd hundreds he
can't account.
Mrs. Carter says Runyan gave her
only $4,000 and that she handed this
back when she learned his identity.
Mrs Carter did not know his name
until she recognized him from pictures
in the newspaper. Her story is that
he threatened to kill her when she
told him of her discovery and that she
gave him up in fear of her life. He
met the woman a short time since
The tellers story is that he took the
$4,000 to speculate and lost IL and de-
cided to take enough to make exile
pleasant.
He walked out Of the bank some
days ago with a satchel full Of money.

given as the reasons for the alarming

"Our naval position to-day is such that
if there should be a sudden declaration Of
war against Germany. the situation would
be one of grave peril"
Numerous accidents recently to war

efficiency. Since July 1906 ten battiesnirs,
two armored cruisers. eight unarmored
cruisers. fve gunboats. twenty-five tor
pedo boats, and three submarines have
met with disasters. Most Of the accidents
