Two Thousand Boys to Participate in
Novel Event.

New York, July 16.-As a pistol
shot rang out on the city hall steps a
little athlete in running tights, carry
ing a silver tube containing a message
from Mayor Mcclellan to Mayor Busse
of Chicago, darted away up Broadway
on the first relay of a thousand-mile
Journey to Chicago. Herbert H. Rapp
was the runner and Mayor McClel-
lan's message was as follows:
''To the city of Chicago: The city
of New York sends greetings by the
fleet runners of the Y. M. G. A. This
message is borne on foot without a
halt from the Atlantic to Lake Mich
igan and the hundreds of boys who
carry 1t gain no prize except the con-
sciousness of having done their best. "
According to the schedule the mes
sage will reach Chicago on Tuesday,
July 21. Two thousand boys will
take part in the race. A strenuous
effort will be made to break all rec
ords for similar events. Intense inter.
est in the long sprint is being taken
all over the country and crowds will
meet the runners at every point on
the long course to cheer them on
their way. Each runner will take II
on to the next point of relief. The
route was divided into sections oi
from fifteen to ninety miles each, the
Y. nj. G. A. members of that district
furnishing the runners to bear along
the message

MISSING SOME MONTHS.
Mrs. Clifford w. Hartridge Dies al
Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, July 16.-An all night in
vestigation, which continues, has dis
closed very little concerning the death
of Mrs. Clifford w. Hartridge, wife of
the New York attorney who was the
former personal counsel for Harry K.
Thaw. Mrs. Hartridge died In the
Homeopathic hospital and, it is said,
cerebro meningitis was the cause OF
her death.
From all the sources where details
of the womans whereabouts since dis
appearing from New York several
months ago and her death in this city
would naturally be known a strict
silence is maintained
Her body was removed from the
hospital TO the undertaking rooms of
H. Samson, from where it was shipped
a short time later to the home of Mrs.
Hartridges parents in Canton, N. Y.
Mrs. Russell, mother of Mrs. Hart.

MANY HURLED FROM BED
Bomb Explosion in Court OF Fashion
able Apartment House.

New York, July ia dynamite
bomb, exploding with terrific force
in the areaway of p fashionable apart
! ment house in West One Hundred and
Fortieth street. hurled scores of the
occupants from their beds, shattered
many windows and threw the tenants
into a panic. A huge hole was torn
| in the cement flooring of the court
where the bomb went off and consid-
/ cradle other damage was done to the
building.
| There were forty-two families living
In the apartment house, but as far as
the police could learn none of them
had received threaten Y letters and
| the reason for the bono throwing is
much of mystery. me only clue
| that the police have is one furnished
| by bellboy of a nearby apartment
house. He said that Immediately be-
fore the explosion he was sitting on
the front steps and saw three men
| pass. They were carrying a small
bundle and walked in the direction of
Watts court, where the bomb later ex-
ploded. The boy said he did not see
the men enter the building, as pass
| ing milk wagon shut off his view, but
q moment later he heard the crash of
| the explosion the force of which
| threw him from his chair, and an in
stant later three men ran swiftly down
| the street and disappeared.
The block in which the explosion
occurred is occupied by number of
high class apartment houses. Detec-
| tives working on the case say they
have no clue to the perpetrators and
| that II It proves to be an attack by
| members of the Black Hand 1t will
be the first of the kind In New York
| directed toward the wealthier class of
| residents.

HELD To Be ILLEGAL
Exchange Of Railroad Transpor'
tation for Advertising.
TEST CASE IN FEDERAL COURT
Government Wins Suit to Prevent
Carrying Out of Contract Entered
Into by Publishers of Munsey's
Magazine and a Common Carrier.

Chicago, July 16.-"If 1t be lawful
to make the exchange of railroad
transportation for advertising then 1t
would be lawful to do the same In
every transaction and the railroad
business might lawfully become one
Of barter and sale, limited only by the
demand"
In decision handed down by Judge
c. c. Kohlsaat in the United States
circuit court, from which the above is
quoted, the jurist enjoined the issu-
ance of transportation by the Chicago
Indianapolis and Louisville Railway
company to the publishers of Mum
sey's magazine in exchange for adver-
tising.
The decision was rendered in a test
case in which the federal authorities
brought suit to prevent the carrying
| out of a contract entered into in Jan
| uary, 1907, between the railroad COM
pany and Frank A. Munsey & Co
providing for the issuance of trip tick
cts or mileage to the value of $500 In
consideration of certain advertising
space in the publications of the maya
zine company. The contract was al
legged to be a violation of the Hep
burn law.
Railroad company's Defense.
The petition charged that the ac-
tion of the railroad company in issu-
ing such transportation constituted a
violation of the prohibition against the
acceptance of any compensation for
transportation greater or less or diff
ferent" from that named In the pub
lished rates. The railroad company
insisted that 1t received a full money
value, based on schedule rates for the
mileage or tickets issued, and denied
that 1t was committing violation of
the law.
In passing upon the question of
compens alton the decision says:
The question as to the value of the
advertising is a contested one. Mani
fsstly there can be no fixed price
placed upon it. The number of cop
les issued, the character OF its sub
scribers and very many other ques-
tions enter into the estimate of its
worth. 1t is. therefore, impossible to
say what its cash market value is ex-
cept by comparison with other adver-
tising rates. 1t cannot be said that
the evidence is conclusive or even
convincing on this point. II it Is taken
at its cash value why should the
transportation be limited as specified
in the contract? If the magazine is
paying $500 to the defendant why
does 1t accept transportation both of
less and different value than it would
accept If it bought its tickets with
money? 1t seems fair to conclude
that either the advertising is of less
than cash value or the advertisers are
grossly imposed upon by the railroad" F"

WEALTHY TANNER DEAD.
Mystery Surrounds Death of l.;
Crosse (Wis.) Man.

La Crosse, Wis, July 16.-With a
bullet in his heart Albert Platz, rich
tanner, was found dead in his chair
at his Office revolver was on the
floor beside him, a stained swab was
clenched in one hand, while the other
pressed a piece of rag into the wound
as though to stop the blood.
This circumstance gave the case the
appearance of an accident. but there
are other incidents which have led
the police to a thorough investigation
of murder and suicide theories. The
weapon was more than two feet away
when the shot was fired, there being
no powder marks. II would have been
practically impossible for him to have
held the revolver in this position.
Platz was president of a Mexican
Plantation company, in which the orig.
inal investors, including himself, sus-
tanned heavy financial losses. He was
seventy years old.

paign publicity plank of the Denver
platform and the action Of the ma
tional committee In line with 1t.

that time, make any public addresses

New York, July 16.-The cost of the
Pacific coast extension of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad,
which, 1t is expected, will be opened
for traffic on July /, 1909, will be
about $5,000,O0O more than the COM
pany originally reckoned on, 1t was
said by an officer of the road. This
additional cost is due to the decision
to run the road at a lower grade over
the mountain divisions than was at
first planned. The total cost OF the
project is now put at s77,000,000.
