 keenness of Duelists.
 The light riders watched each other with the keeness of duelists fighting with napier. It was wheel that knows no brother, with every one of them. But keenest of all were the three teams who. lap after lap mile after mile, century after century had raced wheel to wheel, never varying in a week of days and nights more than ten or 20 yards.
 Johann Stol, Fred Hill and Jimmy Mo ran-they were the careful ones. For upon their work -during the hours just previous to the stirring end of the week depended the chance at that last whiz- zing mile by their partners. Walter Rutt, the sturdy German. Floyd MacFarland, the gaunt, stoop shouldered Californian, and Walter Demara, "The Other Kid" Stol lest some sudden dash put his team a lap out of the running, chose a dan gerous position directly in the center of the whirling line where he could watch the sprinters ahead The hard plugging Boston milllman clung close to Stols wheel Hill, looking even less than his 20 years, with his black hair plastered  very rear of the possession where he could watch everybody and steer out Of dangers way should there be spill ahead of him.
 Three Finish Together.
 These three practically rode out the last three hours, while their partners rested Occasionally did Rutt MacFar- land or Demara take the track.
 But no pacemaxing for them. They rode only to hold their positions. There were plenty of leaders for the flying line though Eddie Root and Bobby Wal thour long time favorites with the crowds were only one lap-only 116 yards behind And. hoping to the last, they went out for that lap again and again. At last just at 10 o'clock. there was a. crash from pistol and all but three of the weary riders dismounted-beaten Rutt in blue and white, McFarland in red and white. and Demarasin black with A broad stripe down his back, faced those last momentous ten laps.
 The vanqushed riders lined up in bath robes at the edge of the track at the finish mark while the band stopped play ing, the crowd hushed and they were off.

GUARANTEE OF PURITY.
Manufacturers Must Use Different
 Terms In Labels.

Washington, December 12.-Unscru- pulous or otherwise misleading phra-1s in guarantee labels used by manufac- turers are barred under decision pro- mulgated today by the pure food and drug board, with the approval of Sec retaries Cortelyou, Wilson and Srtaus. The decision conforms to the recent refusal of Commissioner of Patents Moore to register trademarks which included the phrase guaranteed under the food and drugs act, June 30, 1906, on the ground that it was misleading.
 Effective January 1, next, new guar antee legenus must be changed so as to show plainly that the guarantee is that of the manufacturer, and not or the government, but because of tne large sums of money invested in good faith in labels and plates the old form of labels now in use representing guar antees already filed with the depart ment will be recognized for a term of two years.

MAY REPEAL LID ORDINANCE
TONIGHT AND FIND PRISON
FOR PRESENT ViOLATORS-
CAN GET STATE ARMORY
FOR $50 PER DAY.

A special meeting Of the city
council for consideration Of the
Sunday closing tangle is called for
tonight. A movement for the re-
peal of the ordinance will be set
underway anon: other things.
However. according to Commits
sioner w. r. Roy, the principal dis
cussion will be with regard to
proper Imprisonment for the 40 sa-
loon men under sentence OF the
court and for whom Chief Rice
claims there Is no room in the city
Jail.
Commissioner Roy personally in
spected the Jail in company of Po-
lice Chief Rice this morning and
decided that the chief was right
when he claimed there was no
room for the Sunday closing viola
tors. Roy found "a prisoners in all
and the most of them, as soon as
they learned who he was, demand

ing such protest at the proper
time. After the visit Mr.. Roy stated
that added cells were badly need
ed. The present ceiling is so ar
ranged that an upper compartment
may be added at any time.
Commissioner Roy said that the
board of works, which has been or
dered by the mayor to supply a
place Of Imprisonment for the con-
victed saloon men, said that ar
rangements have been made prac-
tically for the armory, but it will
be rather expensive-$20 a day is
suggested for the rent. The ques-
ton of renting the armory for a
prison will be taken up with the
council.
Meanwhile, according 70 Corpor-
alton Counsel Hamblen, the saloon
men have been serving their SEN
fences since Dec. 80. The city al
lows $3.50 per day on sentences

and costs came to $3.50 each and

who butted in. He was finally pre-
vailed upon to follow, and he and
Mr.. Estep brought up the rear. Mr..
Roberts, however, was tenacious
and went along, but the others who
had Joined the party left for town
in huff
Yesterday afternoon councilmen
and city officials met in the mayors
office and scrutinized the latest
grade separation plans which Can
non had to submit. Much surprise
was expressed at a change of the
first plans which proposed con-
crete walled fill through the bust
ness portion of the city, to a wide
fill only with the promise that as
business demanded concrete wall
would be added.
This morning Mayor Moore ex-
pressed himself in no uncertain
terms as against the latest plans.
He said 1t is his desire that the
original plans for concrete wall
be adhered to. Under no condition
will he consent to the latest plans.
Those who sided with the mayor
this morning are Councilmen Phil
lips. Funk, Gray. Brown. Baldwin
and Estep. Councilman Lambert
was noncommittal. Those were ALL
except the city engineer. who were
on the inspection trip.
But the principal contention
which councilmen say will result
in non-acceptance of the plans are
those for the. closing of Browne st,
Councilman Phillips, with regard to
Browne ST., said:
'If they won't leave Browne st.
open the plans will never be &C.
cepted if can help 1t. AS drawn

important portion of the Southside

l believe they will finally change

about not leaving that street open
is all tommyrot. There are other
matters which the company does
not desire to change and believe

Although Mr.. Phillips refused to
extend the interview it is claimed
that councilmen desire streets
opened in the east end of town
which the plans show the company
will close.

plans propose an underground

WANT THEIR
BONDS BACK

The expected move of saloon
men toward getting back the $50
bonds which each one forfeited on
failure to carry out their appeals
from Justice Hinkle's convictions
occurred this morning when Attor'
neys Nuzum & Nuzum filed a mo-
ton in the superior court for the
setting aside of Judge Sullivan's
decision. The motion is based upon
two alleged errors Of procedure, the
first being that Judge Sullivan's or
der was premature in that the
causes had not been set for trial
and the second that on Dec. 80 and
after the court signed the dismissal
of the appeals, the saloon men were
surrendered to the chief Of police
by their bondsmen and were then
taken into custody and have been
ever since and now are in custody.
The particular case cited by the
attorneys is that of the city VS.
George L. Taft. William Huntley
was on his bond.

"Unless our plans are allowed as

"Unless our plans are allowed as
submitted then these tracks shall
remain as they are until the crack
of DOOM" was the ultimatum de-
livered to city councilmen this
morning by Edward ]. Cannon, di-
vision counsel of the Northern Pa
cific, after the trip over the N. P.
right of way on an inspection of
the engineering feasibility of the
grade separation plans. Just as
the party, which comprised Mr..
Cannon, City Engineer Mcintyre,
Councilmen Baldwin, Phillips,
Brown, Gray, Lambert, Funk and
Estep started, e. j. Roberts, a
heavy holder of southside realty,
arrived and announced that al.
though unlimited he thought there
would be no objection to himself
and some of his friends who are
also deeply interested by reason OF
owning effected property, accom-
panying the party.
Mr.. Cannon waxed wroth with
Mr.. Roberts and said that he had

That's just It," was Cannon's
curt rejoinder you want plans
such as are suitable to 80 out OF
a hundred people. changed to suit
YOURSELF"
Mr.. Roberts insisted that the
plans as proposed by the railroad
were entirely unsuitable to most of
the people. During the controversy
councilmen stood around i'll at ease,
waiting for settlement of the
question of whether or not Roberts
and party were to go along. Finally
Roberts said that If the councilmen
would tell him he was not wanted
.he would leave, but stated he did
Tyot think councilmen cared. Can.
N then started off ahead of the
party and Roberts followed. Coun-
Gil man Brown, who evidently did
not like Roberts manner and
course of procedure, then refused
to accompany the party, saying
councilmen were the ones who
