With the constancy of a top the great Renault car is spinning about the mile track at the fair grounds.
 It began it's A-hour journey at 9:07;SO o'clock and throughout the stilly night its mad, persistent course was continued
 When the citizens of Birmingham were wrapped in silent slumber Lewis Strang end Emile stricker were dashing at death-inviting speed
 When the sun cracked the present day the great car was still throbbing, futter- ing, reverberating and, like mad, lurid devil in pursuit of some immortal soul, consumed space with eagles speed.
 When, shortly after 1 o'clock, the mighty machine halted for an exchange of drivers, stiffened to the wheel his mus ces rigid, was Lewis Strang. Strong men lifted him bodily from the car, and even while they rubbed him into sensibil- ity Emile Stricker was continuing the mad journey. Strang was borne into the tent provided, and there massaged and given light nourishment. He instantly fell into a deep slumber. His mechanic, Andy Anderson, tottered from the car and would have fallen but for the supporting arms of bystanders.
 At o'clock this morning Stricker relin- quished his seat and Strang again took the wheel. At the present moment he is circling the track at break-neck speed, defying all the laws of nature and flying, with splendid recklessness, into the gap ing jaws of fate.
 The 24-hour race will be continued throughout the day. There will be no halt this afternoon, as according to the original programme, but through the en- tire day the wheels will never cease. The great race will conclude tonight at 9:O7:S0 o'clock, by which time Strang and Stricl1- CT hope to cover 12GO miles.
 During the first hour Strang drove 51 miles. On account of thin crust of ice forming over the gasoline tank, he lost two minutes. In the second hour he lost

New. York. November 16.-With dele gates present from every one of its sub sdiary bodies the annual convention of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United Etates began at the Hotel Astor today. The first session was taken up entirely in reading the report of James E. Sulli- van on the Olympic games in London.
 After hearing the report the union adopted resolution giving it's hearty ap- proval and indorsement to MT. Sullivan's actions and to those of the American Olympic committee in the matter of with drawal of Carpenter, Taylor and Robbins for the final heat of the 4o0-metre race.
 President Sullivan declared that the ac- ceptance of Tom Longboat's entry over the American protest was a direct insult to the American organization.
 James E. Sullivan was reelected presi- dent of the Amateur Athletic union for his third term. The union not only unan- imously reelected MT. Sullivan, rescind- ing it's rule against third term to do so. but by resolution upholds him in the course he pursued during the progress of the games in London.
 Since the conclusion of the Olympiad a few months ago there has been bitter feeling between the American and British athletic associations. This practically eulminated today by the adoption of reso- lutions which bring about the severance of all ties of friendly competition be- tween these bodies. Today's action of the Amateur Athletic union officials is suffi- ciently drastic to insure fair treatment

for American athletes in all future inter- national contests. The sense of the meet ing of delegates today was that unless the American Athletic union had share in the management of such meets none of the registered amateur athletes from this country should be permitted to com pete in them.
 The British suspension of J. C. Car penter of Cornell university of quarter mile fame, was rejected.
 A committee of five was appointed to look in future for the interests of Amer iean athletes whenever they were en- tered in events to be decided outside of the United States.

 Night Riders.


 Union City, Tenn, November 16.-Attor- ney General Caldwell is authority for the statement that indictments against al- legged members of the night rider band of the Reelfoot lake region will be re- turned during the present week. This morning the attorney general stated that indictments were not yet in sight, but evidence of such an important nature was secured today as to warrant the authoritative declaration that the return ing of indictments would be now but a matter of days.
 One of the witnesses examined today, a prominent farmer of the lake neighbor- hood, told, it is stated, of visit to his home by the night riders and an invita- ton that he become one of them. Several nights later, it is declared. he inadvert- ently came upon the band and remained with them for a half hour. It was the testimony of this witness that brought forth the statement of the attorney gen. eral.
 Information was also secured today as to the disappearance of John Mcbride, the Obion county farmer, who was believed to have been killed during raid at Hickman, Ky, when the negro Walker and his family were shot and burned to death. According to this information it was another Sam Knight. who was killed on that night.
 Mcbride was killed later, it was de- clared, because he violated the oath of fealty to the might rider band Neither of the bodies has yet been recovered.
