Galcna Well Out OF II.

The electric light plant of Galeua
IL, was installed in 1898 at cost OF
$4,000. 1t was sold the other day
for $4,000, but this price included Il
twenty-five year light, power and trac-
ton franchise. Under the new con
tract the city will get practically twice
the amount of street lighting that was
furnished by the municipal plant al
only 10 per cent greater cost The sale
met with the unanimous approval OF
the mayor and city council, rs the
plant had not been 4 success. one
account of it says:
Its management was changed as
often as new political cliques gained
power, and at times there was no street
illumination at all. The commercial
service was inferior

Many Defeats In Many Places In the
Last Few Months.
The rising of the tide of public re-
sentiment against municipal ownership
is shown by the many defeats it has
suffered during the past few months.
Among those previously unrecorded in
these pages are the following:
The voters Of Canon City, Colo, de
clared against constructing municipal
waterworkS.
In Hot Springs, S. D., NJ. O. candi-
dates for aldermen were defeated i'll
every ward.
The expenditure of $4,000 to $50 900
to develop electrical power was voted
down in Shelburne, Ont.
In Shullsburg, Wis. the vote was
nearly six TO one against bonding the
city for an electric light plant.
The committee appointed by the town
of Winchester, Mass, to investigate
the subject of municipal lighting re-
ported as follows:
The committee is unanimously Of
the opinion that the town should not at
this time undertake to own or control
any municipal lighting plant, nor
should it. in the opinion of the commit
tee, engage in the manufacture or dis
tributiom either of electricity or gas
for municipal use or for the use of its
inhabitants"

NEW MOTORING BODY
MAY ENTER FIELD
War Between Older Organizations
May Precipitate Congress of
Automobile Clubs.

There is widespread discussion IN the
South and West of the proposal TO call
a congress Of automobile clubs TO form
a new national organization.
The withdrawal of the Kansas City
Club from the State organization to be
followed by the ST. Louis organization,
the talk OF the detection Of the Quaker
City and other Philadelphia clubs. and
the Savannah withdrawal, furnishes the
basis Of the proposed organization with
the Automobile Club Of America and the
plan Will be COnsummated or not, the
next month will tell.
Besides the declared purpose Of cor
recting some Of the conditions complain
ed of in the A A. A, IL is intended 10
organize an association in which each
Elub shall have active representation pro-
pOrtiOnate TO its size Such a congress,
the Western clubs think, might very
we'll establish a system Of reciprocal
cOurtesies between all clubs, which
would give to the Western members the
advantage Of New York club and TO
the New York members advantages of
q similar nature in a dozen Western
cities.
They also feel that such a congress
OF clubs might very well extend
throughout the country, the plan which
the bureau OF tours of the A. c A has
worked out with such success through
out the East and I'm Europe, and join
the Eastern and Western cities with a
system OF interstate highways. The
congress could also do much toward Sc
curing uniform State legislation OF bene-

The Washington times., 1908-08-24

At the first OIympiad IN 1894 the
American followers gained a number OF
new ideas and the enthusiasm Of the
meet was carried back to America
Now what are we 10 learn from the
1908 Olympiad? There are two events
which have received little or no atten-
ton IN athletic circles. and therefore
the reason for our defeat in the same.
One was the walking matches and the
other the stesplechase.
The art OF walking as race is no.
a new event in this country. but a
rather old one. and was favor1te
with the athletes fifteen or twenty years
ego. The event as an event on the atn-
letic program has died a natural death.
This has BEEN due 70 the same cause
which has rad such an influence in de-
veloping sprinters in this country, that
is. the public called for speedy events
and the walking matches naturally
passed out of sight.
The steeplechase, however, is not IN
the same category. II has not been put
on the athletic program because few
have known what an interesting contest
II makes, calling as II Goes for speed
agility as a hurdler, and the other fea-
lures consequent with the race. THIS
was one of the most interesting events
on the Olympic program. Jack Elsele,

By W. W. NAUGHTON.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24.-The an
uouncement that Joe Cans and Abe
Attel were TO spar at Crou's, Alameda,
caused Sunday sightseers TO descend
upon the place in shoals, and was the
cause of some wreckage.
Although 8 o'clock was the hour set
for the sport TO begin. a crowd gathered
before noon. BY O'Clock Landlord
Croll became uneasy and telephcned
Oakland for a squad of police 10 main
tain order. BY ? o'clock the hall where
the hstic exercises were 10 take place
was crowded 10 the suffOcating point,
while by far the larger number OF Wis
itors wandered around the gardens.
They were shut out, and they tried 10
comfort themselves with the reflection
that they were in the neighborhOOd,
anyhow
A regulation ring. with ropes and
stakes and padded floor, had been
erected, and Cans and Attel had some
difficulty in reaching the Enclosure,
owing 10 the mass of peTspiring hu-
manity that hedged IL in.
