AUTOMOBILES MAY
 SAIL NORTH S|NGLY
New Ruling Allows Each to Leave Seattle on First
 Steamer.

Chicago, March GA new ruling cabled from Paris gives the American automobile chance to make q "run- away" after leaving Seattle, by sail ing from there whether the other cars arrive in time to take the same steamer for Valdez or not.
 The original schedule for the race was timed to make all the cars meet in Seattle to sail north March 8 at 10 o'clock a. in. on the steamer Sara toga. The original understanding was that all tho cars should go as far as possible by March 6, then ship by rail to Seattle, so as to sail to- gcther on the Sth. Figuring this way the French aid German cars have been tagging behind and taking the race easily.
 The new ruling requires all the cars to proceed to San Francisco under their own power, thence to Seattle. If they fail to reach Seattle by March they are to take q later boat. According to this each car will go it's own gait by land and water regardless of the others.
