Arrests to Test Legality of
Locke Racing Law

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 17.-Because
the district. attorney was present yes
terday afternoon when three arrests
were made at City park as a result of
a test of the Locke anti-racing law, the
men arrested will not have a prelimi-
nary hearing. Their trial Will probably
come up the latter part of December.
w. W. Lyles of Russellville, KY,
manager of the one race meet, with
+. Nj. Sheffield and Placide Fregerie,
the two book makers, who were ar
rested, are each under bond of $500 for
appearance for trial.
1t is acknowledged that the pro-
moters of the race. which is the last
one until the question of legality of the
Locke law is settled, have some plan
which they believe will defeat the OBJ
ject of that measure. 1t is argued that
the men would not have taken a dan
gerous chance of being convicted. when
conviction carries penalty of jail
term. which may be as long as two
years, unless they had conceived some
means whereby the law would be de-
clared unconstitutional.

today took the stand in his own defense
in his trial for the alleged embezzle-
ment of more than $4,000 from the es-
tate of his client, Mrs. Sarah Sage, and
her son. l.. A. Sage of San Francisco.
The prosecution closed it's case yes

had been acting up to that time. He
said he had paid and collected moneys
for her, sending her statements from
month to month. He testified that he
had borrowed money at different times
from the prosecuting Witness giving
his note. and that he had kept the
notes. He said that Mrs. Sage had al
ways deprecated the idea of taking
notes on loans. but he had insisted.

estate from one bank and placing them
in another and handling the business
of the property.

HARBORBOARDFOR
SHIP SUBSIDY ACT
State Commissioners Say Mea-
sure Is Necessary to Protect
American Industry
Swift Liners, Tramp Steamers
and Windjammers Included
in Suggestions

In reply to question from the
Rotary club the state board of harbor
commissioners has written to the So
ciety at some length on the question
OF a ship subsidy. The commission
states that it is emphatically in favor
of such measure.
1t is merely supplying a link in the
chain of protection to American in
dustry and labor that continually
makes for our progress and prosperity
as a nation" says the letter.
The commissioners name three
classes of vessels which they believe
should be included in subsidy meas
ure. They are:
First-Swift liners of 90 knots or
upward on the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans which could readily be con-
verted into scout ships, transports or
auxiliary cruisers.
Second-Freight or tramp steamers
to provide American carriers for Amer
lean goods
Third-Sailing vessels that would
afford to the American shipper the
facilities for economical transportation
of his slow freight to foreign mar
kets.
The communication was signed by
commissioners Stafford, Dennison and
Crocker.

The Roen had agreed TO make 156 and
Jost weighed $50. Ii was a clear case
OF cold feet" on Sullivan's part, and
his conduct was such that he will prob
ably never again be matched here or
elsewhere.
The flzzle had the effect of prompting
the authorities to stop the game. There
had been some talk along this line, but
local promoters had about arranged to
continue after the first of the year. But

Manufacturers Sanction Action
of American Auto Association
Concerning Speed Contests
Decide That There Should Be
Only One Governing Body
in Country
By K. x. PH0mmedieu

The opinion that the control of auto
mobile racing in this country should be
retained by the American automobile
association was expressed at the regu-
lar monthly meeting of the executive
committee OF the National association
of automobile manufacturers, held re-
Gently in New. York. The action, how
ever, did not find any objection with
the recently adopted policy of the
American automobile association to de-
cline hereafter to recognize races on
half and mile circular horsetracks-
Substantial financial support was prom
ised by the committee for the work OF
the association as outlined by Presi-
dent Hotchkiss.
A request was made to the manufac-
turers for committee to serve on the
executive committee of the American
automobile association. and the follow
ing We're appointed: H. o. Smith, w.
e. Metzger and S. A. Miles. These men
were also appointed TO confer with the
contest board of the automobile asso-
citation relative to the 1909 tour. A
new member was added to the execu-
tive committee in the person of G.. g.
Dayton of the Dayton motor car com.
pany of Dayton, o.
The traffic department of the asso-
ciatlon has recently arranged impOr-
tant changes affecting the transporta-
tion of automobiles to the south and
west. While in the west recently Mar
vim, manager of the department, held
meetings with the various traffic man
ayers of the different factories, and in
each place was formed a permanent
committee. which will hold meetings
at regular intervals to discuss traffic
details and take any action that may
be deemed necessary to the betterment.
In due course the traffic managers of
the eastern factories will be organized
in this way. The annual meeting OF
the National association of automobile
manufacturers will be held Wednesday,
January 20, 1909, in New York.
