THINKS THAT HE WILL WIN

Lewis Christie Strang, the daring young autoist who broke the worlds record at tbe fair grounds October Is by going nsile in 5l 3-5 seconds, arrived in Birming- nam yesterday to drive the famous 1S5- hGrse power car in other record trials at the local track Tuesday afternoon.

Young Strang was especially enthusiastic, and in talking of the prospects of setting a better worlds record than made when here at the falr said:
 Strang's Statement.
 ''lIn my mind there is not the slightest doubt but that 1 will be able to drive mile in 50 seconds or less. I am more familiar with the track now than when made my other trials, and the car will be in better shape. We had raced in At lanta such short time before coming here that the car worked badly for a time. l will have it in perfect shape Tues day. and I believe l will make the mile in 90 flat.
 q have seen the great tracks of this country. France and England, but havo never ridden on a mile track that gave the speed the Birmingham track will yield. My attempts to put the mark where it will be safe for years l am sure win be successful and then l will be content to return home and wait until some of the great classics of the auto world are run before trying my nerve and skill again. That is unless I could securs match with Barney Oldfield whose record l so badly smashed here"

GE|S NAMES OF RAIDERS
Assistant Attorney General Purdy Gets Important Clew in the
 Brownsville Affair.
DISCHARGED TROOPER TIE INFORMANT
Two of the Men Missing From Ear. rack at Time of Trouble Known to Authorities-Otker Arrests Pos sibie-An Eyewitness Story of the Shooting.

San Antonio, Tex, Jan. 5.--It Is stated here on good authority and not denied, that the investigation con ducted by Assistant Attorney General Purdy here and at Brownsville has revealed a clew that will lead to the arrest of every negro soldier who par ticipated in the raid. Lem Reeves, the negro soldier who testified Thurs day, is said to have revealed the names of two of the men missing from his company at the time the sound for arms was given at Fort Brown. imme- diately after the outbreak. On ac- count of his testimony he will be held as witness in the court-martial of Maj. Penrose and Capt. Macklin in February
 not preferring charges against the negroes, and permitting them to be released while they were under sus- picion of such a grave charge, will be the subject of special inquiry.
 Judge Purdy has about completed his investigation here. It is under stood that he will go from here to Houston to examine two witnesses who reside there.
 Two witnesses were examined. One was Lem Reeves, the negro soldier serving a term on the county road. He testified that he was in bed at the barracks when he heard the shoot ing, but that every shot was fired near by; that when the call to arms was sounded, two men in his com pany were missing. and that they were still missing at roll call. He also testified that it was nearly noon before the rifles were inspected.
 The other witness was A. l. Davis. night clerk of the Miller hotel He swore that he heard the firing, saw the flashes of the guns, and that, as the moonlight was bright, he was able to distinguish that the guns were in the hands of negroes dressed in the uniform of United States soldiers. He also told of the firing on the hotel He remained up all night and as soon as 1t was daylight he left the hotel, and picked up a double handful of shells elected from the guns, which he turned over to the mayor.
 During Thursday a number of white soldiers at Fort Sam Houston were examined, but the nature of their testimony was not disclosed.

CAUSE; BUT NO REMEDY.
Interstate Commerce Corsnission Submits Report on Car Short
 age to the President.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The causes, but not the cure for the car shortage in the Northwest and the consequent coal famine in North Dakota have been determined by the members of the interstate commerce commission participating in the recent hearing at Chicago and Minneapolis. Franklin K. Lane, who served as chairman of the Investigating committee, Wednes- day filed his report with the full com mission and sent 1t to President Roose. welt who ordered the inquiry. He finds:
 It is a fair inference from all the testimony that the real cause of the coal scarcity in North Dakota was such an abundance of westbound traf- fic at the head of the lakes that cars were not available in the congested state of that terminal, for the carry ing of Coal to North Dakota--a com paratively short haul for low class commodity"
 In his letter of transmission to the President MT. Lane says the report will be followed in due course by the special recommendations of the com mission as whole as to whatever leg. islation, if any, may be deemed adyis able.
 The need for additional legislation to reach the seat of the trouble is shown by the conclusion of the re port, wherein it is said
 If the interstate commerce commit tee is to be vested with power to make rules under which railroads shall be required on penalty to furnish cars to shippers, this commission should also be empowered to make rule under which free interchange oi cars shall be effected, or to require railroads engaging in interstate com merce to make such rules for theil own protection and provide for theil enforcement"
