MAY CUT OUT ALASKA.
New York to Paris Auto Racers Dis
couraged Already.

Chicago. Feb. N.-Northern Siberia
and Alaska may be eliminated from the
route of the New York to Paris auto
mobile racers as a result OF the failure
Of the cars to go through the Indiana
snowdrifts under their own power A
plan now is under consideration to take
the automobiles by boat from San
Francisco to Japan. motor through
Japan, take another boat to V1adivos-
tok and then run down the Russian post
roads by the side of the Siberian rail-
way the 5000 miles to Paris.
The discussion OF the new plan was
taken UP at the Chicago Automobile
club last night soon after the arrival
of the French and Italian cars. A con-
ference will be held today to determine
what shall be done.
One of the main reasons for the
change is the fact that the delay be-
tween New York and Chicago has made
1t impossible to reach San Francisco
by March IA, the time set for sailing
to Alaska. A later boat will bring the
time for crossing Alaska too late to
catch the hard snow and 1t might be
found necessary to wait for another
season.

OLD RIPLEY RUMoR REVIVED.
Again Said That Mr.. Nudge VIII Sue
coed Him on Santa Fe.

The old rumor that E. P. Ripley,
president of the Santa Fe, will resign
his position in the near future is again
being circulated. This action, it is now
stated, will take place in March at the
regular monthly meeting of the board
of directors. In case the resignation
of President Ripley does take place, it
is rumored that he will be succeeded
by H. u. Nudge. formerly general man
ager of the Santa Fe and now vice
president of the Rock Island.
At the local general offices of the
Santa Fe the rumor is denied. Mr. Rip
ley has not been in the best health for
the past year but is still man Of I'M
usual activity despite his IS years of
age, and 1t is thought his service with
the Santa Fee will continue for several
years yet.

he also says that he fears Uncle Joe''
wants Illinois votes merely for trad

of the Republican leaders of Cook

prevailing city administration. The
significance of this statement Is in
the fact that the mayor, his corpora

administration are in close political
contact and even considered adherents
of the Cannon candidacy. It is thus
very evident there will be a merry
little fight in. the speakers home state

ing in Murder Trial.

Special to Times Republican.
West Union, Sept. 22.-Mrs. Ario
Whitbeck was on the stand for the
conclusion of her ss-examnation
this morning, but the most of the fore
noon was taken up with examination
and cross examination of defendant,
Walter Whitbeck He related as having
taken place on Tuesday, March II, the
day he left home, all the acts to which
seven Fort Atkinson men swore as
having taken place the following day,
such as going from the depot and buy
ing liquor and bologna. He accounted
for all his time in st. Paul on Wednes-
day identifying rings and stick pin
bought there and saying he also ex-
amined field glasses and automobiles.
1t is understood witnesses from st.
Paul are here to corroborate him on
all these points.
On cross examination no sensations
developed, but Whitbeck distinctly
weakened his case by failure to show
anything he did from Wednesday even
ing till Friday noon, except walk
around st. Paul. He says he walked
from near the Continental hotel to the
postoffice to mail a post card Tues
day evening, then went back because
man told him the Office was closed.
so he mailed it with postman the next
morning. He says he went to the depot
on Wednesday night to take train
to Rush City to go hunting, but got
in conversation with several people he
did not know and missed his train at
midnight, so sat in the smoking room
all night instead Of going to the hotel,
which is about 100 yards distant from
where he stayed the night sefora I'll hen
instead of going to Rush City he spent
all day Thursday and all Friday fore
noon walking the streets of st. Paul
to look at the town, because it was toa
bad weather for hunting. He could not
name a place he entered or sight he
saw all that day and a half He could
not name a person whom he knew In
st. Paul, Duluth and only one in Rush
City, and does not know this ones last
make.
Up to this time the impression has
prevailed that the defense has had
much the best of the case. Whitbeck
will be cross examined further.
