ALL AUTO ROADS
LEAD To NEWARK
AS SEASON WAVES
HOmeward9 Bound Motorists Are
Bringing Their Summer Tours
to a Close.
DEALERS ACTIVE DESPITE
DULNESS OF THE SEASON
Much Local Interest Displayed
in Forthcoming Races
at Savannah.

Within a few days, many Newark
ward from sylvan retreats, seashore
resorts and mountain places. The exc
u from the summer resorts has al
ready begun, but next week all roads
will lead TO Newark, and hundreds who
have spent a major portion of the sum-
mer touring in automobiles will be
'honk-honking" into town. 1t is said
that more automobiles left Newark this
season than ever before.
Despite the fact that 1t is between
seasons" there is considerable activity
in local automobile circles. The week
before Labor Day is regarded as the
dullest of the year by automobile deal
ers. The season is closing well, how
eve and soon next years models will
be given the undivided attention of the
trade.
A majority of local automobile fol-
lowers will attend the ninth national
automobile show of the licensed asso-
citation in Madison Square Garden Jan
nary 16 to %, as the exhibit is expected
10 be the best and most complete ever
given in this country. However, there
js more than a deal of local interest
being exhibited at present in the forth
coming grand prize race at Savannah,
Ga. At all Newark garages advertising
matter for the prize auto event is dis
played. 1t is believed by many of the
knowing "autoists' that every road
record in existence will be shattered.
The protection to be given at Savannah
will excel that given on the Vanderbilt
course.
Foreign Records Better.
1t has always been a puzzle. in the
ayes OF the uninitiated at least, why
the speed attained in the big American
road races falls so far short of hat
abroad, especially in the French Grand
Prix, where an average of seventy-one
miles an hour was maintained for six
and three-quarter hours.
Intimation of the cause was given
at the close of the last Vanderbilt race,
when several foreign drivers said that
they would never again take part in
an American road race unless the
course was protected from the in
vasion of spectators. At Savannah, it
Is promised that nearly the entire
militia of the State will patrol the
COuTd-. II 10 DoW dSbulCu thdh SuNi
drivers as Navarro, Wagner, Durey
and Szisz will participate in the Grand
Prize race. 1t is believed hat not a
few Newarkers will witness the race.

CONVENTION HELPS CHICAGO
Visitors Spend S1,OOO,OOO in Windy
City During Week.
Stores and Theaters
said TO BE the Biggest
Winners.

Chicago, June 19.-One million dollars
will have been spent in Chicago by
convention visitors before they leave the
city. it was estimated to-day by busi-
ness men who are in close touch with
trade fluctuations in Chicago.
The bulk Of the increase was enjoyed
by the department stores. the hotels, the
aters. restaurants, amusement parks.
and railroads.
The hotels. while doing an excellent
business. did not bask in the prosperity
they expected This is partly attributed
TO the alleged careless policy Of the con-
vention management in not accommodate
ing visitors. particularly opulent men,

Immediately after the explosion. the

Before the fire became serious the bodies
Of six miners were recovered from the
pit Only one Of the bIackened bodies
has been identified It is that OF Frank

Of the other bodies were so terribly burn

The fire in the mine is so furious that
it is impossible TO go to the rescue Of
thirty other miners who are known TO
have been IN the mine at the time the
explosion happened, and it is almost GER
tain they will perish.
Explosion Due to Coal Dust.
Just what caused the explosion it is i'm
possible to tell at this time, but it is
believed 1t was the result of an accUmu-
latiou Of coal dust. The mine has not
been operating in full for some time, but
the companys books show that thirty-six
men were at work when the explosion
took place. 1t would have been impossi-

Englishmen. Preparations are being
made to flood the mine.
PitifuI Scenes ut Mine Mouth.
Pitiful scenes were enacted tonight at
the mouth of the mine, where dozens of
women and children assembled trying
to learn the fate Of their loved ones. Sud
denly a terrific storm broke, accompa-
MED by vivid lightning. with wind the
velocity of a cyclone. Believing that a
second catastrophe was about to visit
them, the people became panic-stricken.
