AUTO|STS START
TODAY FROM new
YORK FOR PARIS
Great Crowd Sees Mayor Nc
ClelIan Fire Shot Starting
Cars in Motion.
THE SEVEN CONTESTANTS
FACE FAME OR DEATH
To Contend with PrivatiOns as
They Traverse SnOw-clad
Alaska and Siberia.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-AIl automobile
race around the globe. which will end
In fame for the winner, or perhaps
death for the seven contestants. was
started promptly at II O'Clock today at
Times Square, New York city, while
thousands cheered the daring chauf-
feurs who are willing to face the hard
ships of the Arctics for the sake OF
winning fresh laurels and making new
records.
Mayor Mcclellan fired the shot which
sent the powerful a on their run
around the globe, and then the seven,
accompanied by scores of autoists, who
will be their escort as far as larry
town, pulled their levers and with a
honking of autos, the most modern of
globe contests was in~augurated.
What the outcome will be no n
can predict. The contestants, six for
oigners and one American, Montague
Roberts, who will use a Thomas car,
will have to subslst on game n fish
ard whatever other food they can
gather as they reach the northern
wilds. At times they Will be cut off
from communication with. the civilized
world. For months they will sleep,
with the blue sky as their canopy.
Through Canada's snow-capped hills
into Alaska, through Boring Strait,
and then over Siberia's barren wastes
and frost-covered plains they will ira
verse. In Russia they will encounter
severe weather also, and not until they
reach Germany and France will there
be a let-up of hardships. Provisions
will be procured wherever possible, but
at times it will be necessary for the
a~utoists to depend on the woods and
field for their food.
They have secured garments of the
heavy texture, and furs and other facil-
tiles necessary for an arctic winter.
But even with these precautions there
win be much suffering, for 1t will take
many months and possibly a year be-
fore the heart-breaking tour is over.
In many places the autoists will have
to cut their way through forests, and
they will traverse spots which are al
most impossible. At Bering Strait it
will be necessary, to run the machines
over the ice for a considerable distance.
whether or not this can successfully
be accomplished is a question.
Whenever possible the contestants
will keep in touch by telegraph or Wire
less with the big cities, and a record of
their will be kept until they
have completed their 20, 000-mile jour-
ney. A joint prize will be awarded to
the first autoist to reach Paris, and the
others who succeed in staying in the
contest until the gay French capital Is
reached.

Nearly Half a Million Applied for
in Less Than Two
Years.

Although established less than two
years and run on q philanthropic basis,
the Newark Provident Loan Associa-
ton, according to the annual report
submitted to the directors, is losing
practically nothing. The report was
presented at the annual meeting, when
the following officers were reelected:
President, Arson A. Carter; first vice
president, J. William Clark; second
vice-president, Lathrop Anderson: sec
rotary, C. G.. Van Gorden; treasurer,

President Carter states In this report
that the association is in a most satis-
factory condition. having accomplished
at least in part the omjects for which
IT was organized. From the date of its
organization, April 1, 1905, to January l,
1908, 1856 loans were made, a~ggregatlng

account has been crossed off the books.
He further says that all other things
being equal, the association endeavorS
to discriminate in favor of the more
worthy applicants for loans. In all
cases foreclosure proceedings are
! avoided where it is compatible with
business methods to do SO. The asso-
citation has been obliged to break up q
home by levying on the chatteds in only
| one instance, and in that case the goods
were afterwards. returned to the owners.
| The association claims have neve been
contested in court. The report goes on:

"Your president, both by information
furnished by the office and by per-
sonal observation of the customers, Is
convinced that the majority are from q
respectable and worthy class of people.
They found themselves hard pressed
for money to meet their debts, often
caused by loss of employment or sick
ness, and appreciate the business-like
methods of u association. Many OF
them have had sax experiences with
the mercenary money-lenders with
whom they have been compelled to

tant charges, not ~infrequently as high
as so and 100 per cent"
Other items of interest regarding the
business reported were; Largest num-
Der of borrowers in any one month, 1888,
during December; largest amount any
