a crowd of about $4,000 people at Rec

Cans on his elbow was struck in the
fourth round. 1t broke Britt's wrist,
and though he went on again in the
fifth round he was helpless in both
offense and defense. 1t was not until
this round that he informed his sec

genuine fracture or not Britt showed
such intense suffering while the doc

the tears rolled unchecked down his

ALL is QUIET At VANCOUVER

Vancouver. B. c., Sept. 11.-Every-
thing was quiet in and about the ORR
entail quarter and there has been no
further attempt to renew the anti
Asiatic rioting. None of the Japa-
nese has as yet returned to their work
in the lumber mills, which are closed
down, but which expect to resume TO-
day. The strike of the Chinese cooks
bids fair to last longer, and restau-
rants are closing. Hotels, CLUBS ana
private families are making shift with
out cooks and Vancouver people are
receiving an object lesson in their de-
pendence on Chinese domestics.
Jap Demands Militia.
The only development yesterday
morning in the local anti-Asiatic stu
alton was the action of E. Norikawa,
Japanese consul. In great excitement
Norikawa went to Mayor Bethune and
demanded that he have the militia
called out to protect his countrymen.
Norikawa stated that an attempt was
being made to burn every Japanese
house in Vancouver and that cotton
waste saturated with oil had been
found under the door of the Japanese
Methodist mission church.
Asks Colonel to Be Ready.
Mayor Bethune tried to reassure
the consul, telling him that the au-
thorities had the situation well in
hand. Finally, to please the consul
the mayor agreed to telegraph Col.
Holmes, commanding the militia of
this district, asking him that the mill
tia be ordered to hold themselves in
readiness.
Turned Down by Hindus.
A combined Chinese and Japanese
organization of Vancouver yesterday
afternoon made overtures to the Hin
dus to join them in an industrial
strike all along the British Columbian
coast. The Hindus refused. Late last
night the police made seizure of fifty
Winchester rifles, together with thou
sands of rounds of ammunition, which
had been purchased in New Westmin-
ster by Chinese.

CHRISTY is SERIOUSLY HURT
RACING CAR-lNJURIES MAY
BE FATAL.

Pittsburg, Sept. 11.-One man is
dead and two others more or less Sc
riously injured as a result of two &C
cidents at a series of automobile races
that were held at the Brunas Island
track, near this city, yesterday. The
dead man is Rex Reinerston of this
city, who died of a fractured skull
while being taken to the hospital.
Walter Christy of New York city,
fractured his right arm, sustained
scalp wounds and bruises of the body.
It is also feared he has been internal
ly injured.
Caught Beneath Car.
Clarence Passion, who was a me-
chanic for Reinerston and was riding
with him at the time, received injuries
to the spine that are serious. Reiners-
ton was driving in a race when at a
turn one of the front tires came off
and the machine turned over. Reiners-
ton and Passion were caught beneath
the car.
The wrecked car was left at the
edge ofthe track. and after order had
been restored Walter Christy attempt
ed to make new track record for a
mile in a new 140-horsepower car.
Christy was cautioned to beware of
the wrecked car. Christy crossed the
tape at a speed that could hardly be-
estimated.
Thown Fifty Feet in Air.
He ran into the back stretch and
approached the wrecked car at a speed
that carried him too far out. Chris
tvs car hit the obstruction on the
track fairly head-On. The big racer
bounded fully fifty feet in the air, and
Christy was hurled like a catapult a
long distance ahead of it. AS he was
thrown from the machine the steering
wheel caught him across the stomach
and it is from this it is feared he has
sustained fatal injuries. AS Christy
struck the ground the machine which
was in flight had hurdled the wreck
and came on him and he law under a
mass of wreckage, from which he was
taken and sent to the hospital.
