AUTOMOBILES AND CITY STREETS.
At Weybridge. England, they have
built a motor track, wherein a speed
OF two miles a minute will no doubt
| soon be reached. To negotiate he
curves OF this track an automobile
must take the position Of Il dime
spinning in a dishpan. Persons in
search OF high speed emo tions can
get them here at minimum of risk.
That is to say, they risk only thar
own necks and their machines But.
unhappiy, this is not true of pubic
thoroughfares. Motorists who try the
top speed of their cars on city
street do not In this way prove them
selves TO he fearless sportsmen. They
only show that they are consuinmate
nusances, who break not only the
city ordinances, but the law OF a de-
cent regard for the safety of others.
The reckless motorist takes his chance
on committing the penitentiary crime
Of manslaUghtcr with each Improper
burst OF speed. This Is form CT
rash thoughtlessness that Is too often
forgiven, and severer punishment
than Is now prescribed seems neces-
lsary to eradicate It.

JINGO1sM IN HIGH PLACES.

! lmpenetra Bile silence still surrounds
( the Navy Departments plans for the
Pacific cruise and Secretary Motcalf's
! declaration at Oakland, Cal. that he
had planned this cruise around Cape
Horn still stands uncorrectcd. and the
cheerful expectations of California that
a miniature jamestown naval review
would be held in Oakland or San Fran
cisco are yet unuuenched. But no fleet
has gone-only the war talk has van
Iished. and with it the wonder why
President Roosevelt allowed Secretary
Metcalfs language to remain misin-
tcrpreted so long. a word from Presi-
dent Roosevelt at the outset of all
that jingoism which came from the
proposal to send the fleet to the Pacific
would have put an end to a vast
amount of swashbucklering that re-
flected scant credit on those who were
responsible FOR the incident.
The great majority of the Ameri-
cans have no petty Jealousy for Japan,
and no true man or people desire Ill
to others simply because they are
proud Of brilliant achievement. Yet
these two motives We're almost with
out exception put forward as reasons
why we as nation should dignity
the hoOdlums of San Francisco and
the irresponsible press of Japan by
making an international issue out OF
their bravado.
If, as the President said on July 18th
| through his private secretary, there
has been no order given by the Presi-
dent to the Navy Department to send
the battlcship feet to the Pacific, the
President knows of no order issued by
the general board to that effect"
Secretary Aretcalf is placed In most
embarrassing position. But If, as
seems probable. the Secretary Of the
Navy thought he was speaking by
the card. the President cannot escape
the imputation of having deliberatel,

BUSINESS MEN WILL
MEET THIS EVENING
Federal Building Dedication
Committee to Confer at
Gostlin & Meyn's.

A meeting of the committee of busi-
ness men who will have charge of the
dedication of the federal building, will
be held at Gostlin & Meyn's Office this
evening.
So far the only arrangements that
have been made have been to secure
Congressman Edward D. Crumpacker
as the speaker of the occasion. It is
especially fitting that Mr.. Crumpacker
has been chosen to make the principal
address, for it was he who made a
federal building for Hammond a pos
sibility.
The committee, which has been
selected to have charge of affairs, is
strictly non-partisan and 1t is the pur-
pose of those who desire to see the
dedicatory exercises a success, to elm
mate everything but that which is
relevant to the progress Of the Cal
umet region.
The date of the dedication has not
yet been fixed definitely, and there are
several other matters that have not
been definitely decided upon. There
is talk of holding the banquet in the
evening at McHies' hall as there is
no other place that is large enough.
1t is expected that after the meet
ing this evening the plans will be
definite enough to warrant an an
nouncement of them.

avenue. was badly burned yesterday
morning. The mother had left the
little fellow alone in the bedroom only
a few minutes when she heard his
cries and on rushing TO the room found
the little body enveloped in flames. A
doctor was called Immediately and 1t
is thought the child will recover. I.
is not known how the flames were
started. but 1t is thought he stepped
on a match and the sparks were
quickly famed to flames by the wind
from the open window.
On a later examination il was dis
covered that the baby had received
internal injuries from the flames, and
the little fellow died from the effects
yesterday afternoon. The funeral vii
be held from the home Friday after

BARNEY YOUNG'S LATEST

Song Entitled "My Rosary Has Been
Given to the Public; Father George

Composer.

Barney Young's latest composition
MY Rosary" is off the press and has
been given to the public by whom it
has thus far been favorably received.
His co-worker on the song has been
Father George of ST. Josephs college at
Rensselaer,, who furnished the text. The
song is dedicated to the Rev. Father
Charles F. Keyser of Lowell formerly
assistant priest in ST. Josephs church
here. The words of the song are as
follows:
Thy cross not gold thy beads not pearl
Thy chain no silver string.
Yet all the world with all its whirl
Thy value will not bring.
You solaced me when dark despair
A python pressed my soul;
You fought in its dismal lair
To yict'ry's glorious goal
On mount and plain, on land an sea
You were my trusted friend,
I tired of all but not of thee
Your charms they never end.
No pray book with its pond'rous
thought
It's gorgeous prins and clasp
Is so with heavens sweetness fraught
AS are the beads I grasp.
When death. the porter of the Lord,
Proclaims AT once appear"
leave right glad my paltry hoard.
For you I'll drop tear
When death. the porter of the Lord
| Proclaims "At once appear"
I leave right glad my paltry hoard
For you I'll drop tear.

ALL NATIONS TO
Be REPRESENTED
Military and Naval Displays
to be a Feature at the
Jamestown Exposition.

Not only all the states in the union
have decided to be represented at the
jamestown show, but all the leading
nations Of Europe. Many of these will
have separate buildings in which their
own exhibits will be made. All will
send great delegations of soldiers, for
one important feature of the exposi-
ton is to be it's military side. A great
parade ground of thirty acres has
been graded. and on this field of Mars
will be given evolutions of the armies
Of the world. Not only the United
States, but England. France, Germany
and other countries will send picked
men, and contests in drilling, artillery
field firing, ETC.. will form most ex-
citing features. Then, too, many for.
eign countries will send fleets of war.
ships, and in the waters about the ex-
position these will give exhibitions OF
their sea drilling.
One feature of the season will be
an exact reproduction of the great
fight between the Merrimac and the
ton Roads, within sight of the expo.
sition grounds. Vessels which will bt
exact copies of these two historical
boats will be built, and the battle
than which there is none better known
IN history, will be fought over again
while the thousands of visitors can se'
it in safety.
A museum of arms Will be a featur
of the exposition, contributed to b!
various nations. Here Will be shown
the implements of war of all nations
at all times.
The situation of Jamestown make
it especially easy of access from al
parts of the country, and the enter
prising managers of the fair hav
originated novel means of getting t
the spot. They are sending out plan
and maps of motor boat trips from
points far south and north, showing
lucky motor boat owners how they ca
get to jamestown in their little Graf
without going into salt water. TIL
trips are ideal of their kind.
A plan has also been arranged 70
a belt line of steamers to run from tn
exposition grounds, which will tax
people to all points of interest-Nor
folk, Newport News. Old Point Com
fort and Fortress Monroe. OF cours,

try will be possible, and in no othe

WHY KNOTS QUIT
HIS WORK At GARY
There Has Been no Friction
Hammond Lawyer to
be Counselor.

The report has been circulated to
the effect that A. F. Knots, who is
generally credited with having laid
out the town site of Gary and been the
author of many of the advanced ideas
regarding the building Of the town, was
compelled to resign. This has been
denied at headquarters.
In an effort to secure some authorita-
tive information in regard to the mat
ter President Buffington's Office was
called UP on the phone and an inter
view was had with his private sec
retary. who declared the report was
altogether without foundation.
In effect the explanation of the mat
ter was as follows: Mr.. Knots was
employed for the purpose of laying
the foundation of the city of Gary anC
the work has now progressed fal
enough so that it may be taken up by
others and his ideas carried into ex-
ecution.
Mr.. Knots has become interested il
several projects of his own and this
together with his law practice, will il
the future take up all of his time.
Mr.. Knots knew that his work wa:
practically completed, and realizing tha'
he ought to spend more Of his tim,
with his private affairs, he rendered
his resignation, which is to take effec
the first OF the month.

selors of the company, but the detail
