ON LONG ISLAND COURSE.
Indications Regarding the Wander
bilt Cup Race.

NEW YORK. May 23-Recent develop
ments make it appear that the Vanderbilt
Cup race of 1903 will be held on Long
Island course which is already under con-
sideration Those in charge of the event
desire to hold the blue ribbon auto derby
of America near this city, If possible
There appears to be little difficulty in Sc
curing suitable course on Long Island,
so far as the actual roadbcd Is concerned.
1t is the difficulty of adequately policing
the circuit which has 10 be overcome.
After the trying experience during the
race two years ago William h. Wander
blt. the donor of the trophy, and the
other gentlemen in charge of the event
stated emphatically that no more races
would be held unless upon private
course or upon roads guarded by the
state militia
The refusal of Gov. Hughes to permit
the use OF the state soldiery for any such
purpose and the inability of the pro-
motcrs to complete the Long Island
parkway in time for the big race this
fall was a severe setback to the commit
tee in charge of the 19,S event. Several
offers from other sections of the country.
notably Savannah and st. Louis. have
been in the hands of the committee for
some time, and. despite the efforts of
those who desire to see the auto race
held in a section other than that near
New York. no definite announcement has
been made favorable to the southern or
western circuits. Connecticut course
is apparently out of the question. since
l. was discovered that the Nutmeg state s
statutes forbid use of the public high
ways for speeding or for contests for
prizes or to settle wagers
The reluctance of the committee to
award the race to any section of the
country other than the metropolitan dis
trfct may be the reason for the withhold
ing of public announcement of the
course. 1t is said on good authority
however that there is little likelihood Of
distance from New York. It is the firm
determination of Mr.. Vanderbilt to have
a race for the trophy now held by France.
and unless unforeseen obstacles arise
every effort will be made to hold the race
on Less Island.

40 HURT IN TROLLEY CRASH.
Runaway Car Crashed Into Another
at BaYonne, N. J.

NEW YORK, May 25-Forty persons
were injured, two of them probably ia
tally, when runaway trolley car crashed
into another at Bayonne, n j.. today.
The most seriously hurt We're Frank Hen
derson. motorman of the runaway car,
whose right leg was cut off at the thigh,
and John Tyler. conductor of the other
car, who was pinned in the wreckage and
badly crushed.
Passengers in both cars were hurled
from their seats by the shock, but it is
believed all escaped with slight injuries.
The runaway car was travelling fully
thirty miles an hour when it crashed into
the other car. which was going in the
same direction on the same track.

Brilliant Affair.
Last nights affair is reported TO have
been brilliant Practically the entire
membership of the caravan was in at
tendance to welcome a large number of
candidates ana the program was of the
fast and furious order. Grand Com
mander Wilson T. Malone presided at the
banquet which followed the degree work.
1t was : o'clock last night when Joseph
p. Cullen, master of the oasis. sounded
the great gong in the tower and the
march to Mecca was on At first the
scene was verdant and enchanting but
not for long The desert border was no
sooner crossed than the guards were seen
feeding flames to the candidates, while
camels strobe on in solemn and menac-
ing strides.
At this stage skittish neophytes made
their wills and distributed gold. Sand
dancers and unrivaled toe twirlers soon
appeared in the cavalcade. The pace be-
came well-nigh unbearable for some. and
one stout neophyte lost as much as five
pounds minute.
Through the display of more than the
ordinary cnndescension on the part of the
elements the last neophyte was finally
landed in Mecca. where their hurts were
repaired. their thirsts saked and rare
food offered with which to repair their
shattered vitality.

Governors Attitude in Doubt.

This opinion, however, is not shared by
all the democrats in the county. Some be-
lieve the governor would ignore that ac-
ton of the convention-refuse, in other
words, to be dictated to and would ap-
point some man not directly interested in
the political contest. Many seem to think
he is inclined to appoint Charles H. STAN
ley Of Laurel.
1t is possible the matter will be adjusted
in a manner to satisfy everybody con-
cerned and the contest postponed for at
least year At least the effort is being
made and is receiving considerable favor
able comment.
Judge Merrick will not retire from the
bench until April IS. 1909, after the ad-
journment of the spring term OF the cir
cult court here. The next court will be
held the following October. Should emer-
gency require Chief Judge John L. Bris-
GOES services would be available.
The democratic convention TO nominate
members Of the general assembly and
county officers and to select delegates to
will be held during the summer. Those
who are seeking TO save an ugly primary
fight at this time argue that this would he
the proper time to settle the question of
the judgeship.
1t is believed GOV. CrotherS would be
willing to postpone the appointment OF
Judge Merricks successor until after the
judicial convention in 1909 and then to
appoint the man who succeeded III Secur-
ing the domination for the tifteen-y year
term. 1t is probable this convention Will
be held in July or August, SO the period
during which a vacancy on the bench
would exist would not exceed more than
two or three months.
Conservative democrats throughout the
county agree this would be happy So
luton of the present difficulty; would save
uov. CrotherS the necessity of performing
an unpleasant task; may restore harmony
in the party and at least postpone tie set
tlement of the judscship question until
the time when it Should properly be ad-
juSted.

TO OPEN
RANGES
TO SHEEP

The sheepmen of Umatilla county
Will be permitted to turn their sheen
into the forest reserves on June
according to Information received by
Attorney Dan P. Smythe from Super-
visor Ireland of the Wenaha national
forest service. The Blue Mountain
reserve will also be opened to bands
OF sheep as soon as the grass Is of
sufhcient length to warrant adequate
grazing.
This action Is the result of n de-
termined fight which the sheepmen
OF Umatilla and Morrow counties
nave been waging for the past three
months to get their bands upon the
summer grazing lands as quickly as
possible. IL will mean the saving
OF thousands of dollars to the sheep
owners, as many of the winter
ranges have long been in a depleted
condition. This year, the season has
been month and one-half In aj-
vance of the usual season. and the
protracted drought has worked a
great hardship on the sheep.
The Wenaha reserve. which will
be opened for a certainty on June
/. Will accommodate several hundred
thousand head of sheep. This reserve
Is in more advanced condition this
year than the Blue mountain forest
lands. The inspector has made
thorough examination of the grazing
lands and has found them In a satls-
factory condition.
The grass In the Blue mountain
reserve. however, Is not OF uniform
length, and a part OF the reserve will
need protection until June Is before
II will be In proper condition TO re-
ceive the sheep. But to accommo-
date the pressing need OF the band
owners, any parts that are in At con-
dillon will be thrown open on June
l. Strict orders have been given
that no bands must be allowed TO
trespass on the restricted districts,
under penalty OF a heavy fine.
The recent rains come as a great
relief TO the winter ranges which are
in better condition now than for sew
eral weeks. The sheep will be
placed on the summer ranges In
rather a poorer condition than usual.
but not In such a run down condi-
tion from starvation as was expected.
