GIVES PENNANT FOR
TUNNELING RECORDS

AS a token of appreciation for having
broken the American tunneling record
for a month, the board of public works
will have suitable pennant made and
will present it to the men at work on
the south portal of the aqueduct. Just
how much the record is exceeded can
not be determined until the work Is
measured Monday morning.
A letter expressing keen appreciation
and qualification at this result was
sent by General A r. Chaffee, chair
man of the advisory committee of the
aqueduct, to w. c. Aston, tunnel super
intendent at South Portal yesterday.
General Chaffee told Mr.. Aston to
erect a Flagstaff and fly the pennant,
and said it was to remain in possession
of the record breaking workmen until
their record was surpassed by some
other gang on the work.
He advised the tunnel superintendent
that other gangs were after his laurels
and would do what they could to cap
ture the pennant. This pennant is to
be a trophy for which all the tunnel
workmen will strive. Not only is this
pennant winning an object of their am
bition, but to induce laborers to work
fast the board has adopted a bonus sys-
tenn. A certain amount of work is laid
ont as a full days work, and all ac-
conplished over this amount in one
day is paid for at so much a foot. This
is divided among the workmen in the
gang. and many of them add substan-
TALLY to their monthly wages by the
bonuses they earn.

BRYAN'S NEW YORK
MAJORITY NOT OVER
10000 STATES TAFT
GRx Associated Pres..l

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Oct. S1.-After
a weeks campaigning in New York
city and state, which ended here to-
night, william H. Taft, Republican
presidential candidate, made this state
ment to the Associated Press:
"The state of New York is more Re-
publican than Pennsylvania.
There is every indication through
that part of the state above the Bronx
that there will be a majority for the
Republican ticket nearly equal to that
of Mr.. Roosevelt four years ago.
"The Democratic majority of the city
of New York probably will not exceed
10000. This will be overcome by the
Republican vote above the Bronx"
This roseate view of the candidate
has been reflected in each of the ten
speeches he has made today. Judge
Taft has had cordial receptions in Bl-
mira. Waverly Oswego, Lestershire,
Binghamton, Whitneys Point, Mara
thon, Cortland and Ithaca.
In this city tonight his presence in
spired a great parade, which he re-
viewed before going to Convention
hall. where thousands paid tribute to
his presence.
After his meetings here Judge TAFT
left on his special train for Buffalo.
where he will spend Sunday with Mrs.
Taft.

MAYOR SIGNS REPEAL
OF DANCE HALL LAW

Mayor Harper yesterday signed the
repeal of the dance hall ordinance, and
as soon as it is published the decks will
be clear and in shape for another con-
f1ict between r. H. Solomon and the
Church Federation.
The council had hoped the repeal.
which they passed last Monday, would
be effective by tomorrow so they would
have an opportunity to pass some klnd
of a regulating ordinance If they felt
so inclined. But for the repeal to be
effective it must be published, and this
hardly can be done Monday morning,
as the ordinance was not signed until
lust before the city hall closed for the
day at noon.
F. H. Solomon of Morleys Grand ave-
nue. auditorium, who was Responsible
for the referendum which brought
about the repeal Of the ordinance, was
in the mayors office yesterday morn
ing with another ordinance which his
private attorney had prepared and
which he will submit to the city coun-
ell Monday if anything comes up on the
matter.
This ordinance prohibits the admis-
sion of minors under 16 years OF age
unless accompanied by parents or
guardians, and intoxicated and disor-
derIy persons, and also the sale of in
toxicants on the premises. 1t has every
restrictive clause except the Sunday
closing feature.
If this ordinance is submitted it prob
ably will be referred to the legislative
committee, where another ordinance,
presented by Rev. w. +. Ireland last
Monday. is now reposing in peacefui
somnolenct.
The ordinance the legislative COM
mittee now has before it is similar to
the one first introduced when the agita'-
tion began. 1t contains all the restric-
tive features of the ordinance passed
by the council and which was repealed,
and more in that no provision is made

THE 4REo klDDo,v A DARK HORSE ENTERED AT THE POST

for I.ocomobile, 170 for the Sunset, 81
for the Blue Bird 1856 for the Stude-
baker, SO for the REQ Kiddo and 13O for
the Paris Pet
Dingley got his car in shape and went
back on the track at 9:13 and set
hot pace in an endeavor to cut down
the long lead that the other cars had
gained When the Blue Bird went
back the Studebaker was fighting with
ignition and the Hartford was taking
on fuel. Dingley reeled off the miles
in 1:1S, exceeding the time of the next
cars by two or three seconds.
The Studebaker developed pump
trouble and went out for nearly an
hour and while it was off the track the
Paris Pet blew up in front of the
grandstarfd. The crank shaft broke
tearing the crank case to pieces, throw
ing chunks of metal in all directions.
The momentum of the car carried 1t
around the turn from where 1t was
pushed back by hand. 1t was retired
from the race with 146 miles to its
credit.
At the end of the sixth hour the
Franklin was taken in hand by Guy
Irwin again, who kept the throttle open
on the turns and easily led the Loco.
in speed. gaining three to four seconds
each mile.
Loco Changes Tires
Adams in the Studebaker passed the
grandstand few minutes before the
cars were stopped, readjusting his
goggles with his hands off the wheel
and running at a slow rate of speed.
without consideration of other cars,
he cut from the outside across to the
pole and came near throwing the
Franklin into the outside fence as 1t
tried to pass on the turn.
Just a few minutes before the cars
were tagged down for the first neu-
trail period, which is allowed to re-
pair the track, the Locomobile pune
tured a tire and was out for couple
of minutes. In that time the Franklin
forged ahead and was leading by
mile when the cars were tagged.
Promptly at II o'clock the cars were
tagged and lined up under the wire,
where they remained under guard and
untouched for two hours. At 1 o'clock
they were sent away again in the
same order in which they were stopped.
The second run will be five hours
with a two hours rest, followed by
six hours run. The last rest will be-
gin at 2 o'clock this afternoon and at
4 O'Clock the cars will be started again
on the last six hours run, finishing
at 10 p. m.
