idan circle, one of the small parkWays
which add to Washington's attractive
ness. The sculptor is Gutzon Borglum,
of New York, who has won commenda-
tfon for his promptness. He received
the commission a year ago last July.
Washington is making a world record
for its equestrian statues. 1t already

statues of the world And the statue
building business is going merrily on.
Approximately twenty five more are
now projected, and many of them will
mount the heroes on horseback
The Sheridan statue will cost $4,000,

is economizing some by veneering his
statues. Instead of making the entire

BRYAN Gets New View.

Paterson, N. j., Oct. 24.-Seizing up
on Taft's statement in a speech yes
terday, that the panic last fall was a
republican panic, and that it was due
to over prosperity, Bryan in an address
here today, declared that he is now en-
abled to pass an intelligent judgment
upon that panic. "All of you that felt
that you had been over prosperous
under the republican administration
and therefore needed this panic" he
said, will vote the republican ticket.
Those of you who do not feel that you
have been over-prosperous, and do
not feel, therefore, that you have de-
served the panic, will vote the demo-
cratic ticket. We will be able, then,
republicans whether, in case of their
victory, they would give you such pros
perity as to make you sick, and how
long it would be before another over
prosperous panic would come under
their administration. We are within a
week of election, and things have gone
against the republicans SO they are
fighting for Ohio and are going to put
all the cabinet officers out to speak in
several states. 1t is a remarkable sit
uation, when such efforts are necessary
by party running on it's record. for
it's record covers twelve years, and the
evidence is conclusive that the record
has not been satisfactory to the Amer
lean voter"

forts In Kansas He called a special
session of the legislature and at that
time undertook to have the law 80
fixed that the vote on senator should
Oe at the same time as the general ell
ection This is the Missouri plan under
which Folk and Stone are contending
for success and Hadley may carry off
the prize Now, Governor Hoch says, the
Kansas republicans are sorry they did
not adopt this plan, since the sena-
toriai fight has been dragged into
every district of the state and there
is trouble for all the state and there
is trouble for all the candidates for the
legislature. Governor Hoch thought the
Iowa plan, or the one that Is In use
this year-thanks to the wisdom of
Governor Cummins in calling the spe-
cial session-was an admirable one.
Governor Hoch says that Kansas is
sold for Taft and there need be no
fear but what the redoubtable Bristow
will go to the senate.

Earl Smith for the defendants intro
duced n motion to dismiss the charges
against the six and to discharge the
six from custody. This motion was on
grounds that q technical fault in an I'M
portantly connected case gave ample
cause for dismissal and that the evil
dence introduced by the state had
failed to be sufficient to hold the six
on the charge against them. Nearly all
Meservey was in the court room or the
ante room and all Immediately became
intensely interested when this motion
was introduced. To the state and the
state sympathizers it came as u dis
tinct surprise. Attorneys for both
sides Immediately plunged into argu-
ments which occupied the court for the
rest of the day. The crowd of Me-
servey people in the court room lis
tened eagerly to all these arguments.
1t was hoped that the case might be
finished yesterday as the Meservey
people are anxious to go back home to
find out If the town is still there. The
arguments on the motion could not
however be completed last evening and
adjournment was made until this
morning. 1t is understood that the
point regarding the claim of the de-
fense concerning technical fault IN
the related case is the most Important.
The state has used eight or nine wit
nesses in the case so far and the de-
fense has not yet called a single one.
County Attorney Witwer states that II
the case is dismissed in the justice
courts on account of a technicality that
he will take the matter before the next
grand jury for he is assured that high
handed methods have been used by
some of the citizens of Meservey In
thwarting the cause of the law and
justice.
Late today Brown, Wilson and Jones
were bound over to the grand jury in
justice court in the Meservey case.

LytIe a Close second-2oo, 1000 Pso-
Pile Witness Contest.

Long Island, Motor Parkway, Oct. "a.
George Robertson in Locomobila
won the Vanderbilt cup automobile
race today. He won the race by one
minute and 48 1-5 seconds, his time
being 24O minutes and 48 is seconds.
The course was twenty-three and one-
half miles and eleven times around,
making nearly 265 miles. Robertson
averaged sixty-four and three-tenths
miles per day. thereby breaking all
previous American records.
Lytle, in an Insotta car, finished sec
ond. The race was declared off be-
fore the third car came in. The ex-
tremely treacherous track made driv-
ing the high powered motor cars
matter of skill and daring. The 200,-
900 persons who witnessed the race ex-
perienced a continuous series of thrills
as car after car dashed past over the
twenty-three and one-half mile cir
cult. A drizzling rain turned the mag
innocent ROAD surface IuLO OIlc lIldI
made each of the numerous sharp turns
an extra-hazardous risk, yet the cars
kept right down to work, making up
on the long back and home stretches
what they lost at the angles.
Sixteen Cars Participated.
Sixteen cars went off with success
sion of pistol shot explosions at $3.50.
In the first two laps five cars had re-
tired for various causes, and in each
succeeding round others met with ac-
cidents which either put them out OF
the running or caused delays in max
ing repairs that precluded any possi-
bility of them winning. Even Robert
son had his trouble with tires, water
and gasoline, but overcame these diff
ficulties with a minimum loss of time
At the end Of the ninth lap the race
had become hair raising duel between
Robertson and Lytle. In spite OF hav.
ing to plow their way thru surgina
masses Of humanity that only parted
wide enough to let both hubs pass
clear, now one, now the other, hurled
over the course at a speed Of sixty.
seven and sixty-eight miles an hour
At the end of the tenth lap Robertson
led Lytle by four minutes and ten Sec
onds. The excitement was at fever
heat.
