With Manufacturers.

NEW YORK, July 16.-For the third
time the announcement comes that no

tonal Association Of Recognized Auto
mobile Clubs that the international

ence follows in part:

tion, both domestic and foreign, * was
| unanimously decided that so far as the
Vanderbilt Cup race Of this year is con
CeUned the same should be held under
the rules previously announced by the
racing board Of the American Autono-
! bile Association In the opinion Of those
| present any other action at tins time
would be unfair TO the American manu-
| facturers, particularly in that il would
now be impossible for them 10 build
cars which conform 70 the Ostend rules,
| and also in that there is no assurance
4 that the foreign bodies viii continue 70
( observe the Ostend rules next year.
! Announcement also was made that
I four foreign cars are assured for The
Vanderbilt race, viz, Mercedes, Benz,
Hotchkiss, and Renault. Ten repre-
| sentative American entries also are
promised. The Long Island course over
| which the race will take place in Oc-
| tOber viii be approximately twenty-five
! miles in length.

SPRECKELS' PROFIT ON
GAS PLANT, $1,75O,00O

San Francisco. Sept. 1S.-In an Aft
davit made for the San Francisco Gas
and Electric company, as a protest
against the city gas rate of So cents,
there Is revealed the great profit made
by Claus Spreckels in selling the oppo-
sition plant to the gas company.
Spreckels started the opposition com
pany because the old concern refused
TO put q smoke consuming device in its
chimney and allowed the SCOT to drive
against the S~preckels' fine building.
Spreckels made such q bitter fight that
the old company, after three years paid
him IS, 500, 900 for what cost him only
49, $50, 600. Thus ne Melted ST. $50. 900
profit.
Spreckels appealed to the public
against the grinding monopoly and
scored his usual success. When he
sold out the public simply laughed and
said hat they had been bunkoed, as
they were when he organized the San
Joaquin Valley railroad and hen sold
out to the Santa Fee.

yesterday here in company with United

were going TO the Cheyenne Indian

ferring to the proposed trip of his
father to Africa, young Roosevelt stated
that he expected to accompany his
father, but the matter was not yet fully
decided. He has visited his locality
before, and in answer to questions as
to what he thought of South Dakota
and her people, he said:
Il am certainly well pleased with
what ! rave seen here; in fact, at no
point nave / / been more impressed with
the wonderful development Of a new
country than here. l was here two
years ago., and 1t seems almost incredi-
BILE that such a change could be
wrought in so short a time. / am sur
Iprised at the number of young people
here, and can readily see what prompts

be had in the east, and j wonder that
so many continue to remain in con-
gested cities"

BURGLAR SHADOWED BY
AGENT I'M LATTER'S HOUSE

Edgemont, s. D., Sept. 1S.-By exer-
cising a little strategy and nerve, John
Whaley, night agent at this place for
the Burlington Railroad company, sue
ceeded in capturing a burglar, whom he
turned yer to the local authorities.
Agent Whaley makes a practice of re-
turning TO his home about midnight
each night for his lunch. He was APP
preaching his home for the purpose of
partaking of lunch when he noticed a
man in close proximity to the house.
The man was acting so strangely that
MIR. Whaley decided to keep watch for
the purpose of discovering what the
stranger was up to. rinally the
stranger disappeared within the
Whaley house. The owner was soon on
his track, and quietly followed him
from room to room Finally the in
truder CHANGED to turn his head, to dis
cover that Whaley was close behind
him. Instantly Whaley got the drop
on him, and, marching him from the
house, surrendered him to the authori-
ties. A search revealed hat the BUR-
glar had two razors on his person, these
being tied TO a string and dangling
from his neck.

The wife who makes the petition has,
such a delicate and artistic nature that
she suffers tortures from the hideous,
discord existing between the color Of
her drawing room upholstery and the
color of her husbands hair. 1ncred-
ible though 1t may seem, the husband
actually refused to dye his hair to-
some less discordant hue.
When they were married the nus
bands hair was a delicate pale golden
color, which went admirably with the
drawing room furniture and hangings,
then of a cool gray tint. Some time,
ago the wife refurnished her salon in
a pale, sad green, and every time her
husband enters 1t his straw colored
locks set his wife's nerves on edge.

to dye his yellow hair, not necessarily

heavy odds, pulled a gun and let drive
three times into the crowd.

Peter Petronek has a slight flesh
wound. Davis then fled and has not
been found. although quite a man hunt
was In progress for hours after.

dancers had been indulging in liquor
heavily and Davis was a new conner
