JURORS DISCUSS VERDICT
Defendant Convicted of Man.

DR.. B. B. Lee, convicted of man.

trial. supported his application yester-
day in an affidavit stating that the jury
had taken into consideration matters
not in the record of the trial and that
he knew this because he overheard the
jury celebrating
After the Jurors retired to the room
behind the courtroom of department 6
to consider their verdict Lee was, he
states, taken by the deputy sheriff into
the courtroom of department II. This
courtroom adjoins the jury room, and
Lee said he distinctly heard the greater
part of the discussion by the jurors
and that one or more, whose names he
does not know, said that the defendant
was man of bad character and repu-
tation and that he had previously been
mixed UP in a cutting scrape with the
deceased. Lee said he also overheard a
juror say that the defendant was con-
cerned in the Sharkey Fitzsimmons
prize fight scandal.
On the ground that these matters
should not have been taken into ac-
count by the jury, Lee asked for a new
trial. He was tried for the alleged
murder of Thomas Mccarthy. who died
after being thrust in the eye with the
point of an umbrella by Lee, but was
convicted Of manslaughter.

tives of the Native Sons, Native Daugh-
ters and of the Associated Charities in

planned by WheeIan along the lines an

lined which includes the relation OF
children to the agency and the agency
to the home, the finding of homes fol
homeless children and the forming o1

RAMBLER FoRDs OHIO

An interesting story of the fording
of the Ohio river in an automobile has
come from +. A. Chapman of Wellsburg,
his Rambler at the famous Coxs ford
near Wellsburg at a time when the
Ohio was at low stage and drove di-
rectly across to the Ohio shore The
water was about two feet deep but
the sheet steel pan protected all parts
of the mechanism, thus preventing its
interference with the operation of the
engine The feat was not without dan
ger, however. because in spite of the
apparent shallowness a slight iniscal-
culation as to the direction would have
resulted in catastrophe. The Rambler
people have added this performance to
the list of unusual things which the
Rambler has accomplished.

NEW SIX CYLINDER
THOMAS ARRIVES
Car Creates Sensation Along
Automobile Row in This
City
Shows Speed and Is One of the
Most Striking Vehicles of
the Season
By K. K. PHommedieu

interest along automobile row was
livened yesterday by the arrival of the
Thomas flyer six cylinder touring car.
This vehicle is one of those heralded
this season as the popular product of
the time and many of the enthusiasts
have been awiting its arrival. AS II
was brought up along the row all work
was stopped. The demonstration is fin
ished in dark blue with yellow running
gear, graceful in appearance, following
out the latest lines of the foreign cars
where the styles for the automobile
world are set. The. car, while not Civ
ing the impression Of being an ungain-
ly vehicle has lots of room in the
tonneau, more than in the cars of the
same price which are now on the mar
ket. With full elliptic springs. the
body, which is hung on a nickel heated
frame, gives the car a racy and at the
same time a substantial look. Follow
ing UP the most improved manner of
manufacture it is equipped with Bosch
magnetic, Atwater-Kent timer and float
feed carburetor. The motor of the 40
horsepower engine is capable of de-
veioping speed of so miles an hour.
This is an exact duplicate of the
Thomas car which made such a re-
markable showing in the recent %
hour race at Brighton Beach, the car
never leaving the track during the "a
hours but for gasoline and tires. Dur
ing strenuous test yesterday Calvin
Eib of the Pioneer automobile COM
pany put the car through the so mile

hibition at the salesroom of the Pioneer
automobile company today

through the parks, and before dinner
he was flying up and down Michigan

NOVELTY AUTO RACE

NOt RACE
One of the novelties of the Motor
PARKWAY sweepstakes and the William
K. Vanderbilt Jr. cup race this wear
will be the introduction of two official
supply stations. one of which is to be
a depressed station right in front of
1900 spectators an excellent view of
the methods employed by racing crews
in changing tires and taking on sup
plies There is a space of about 40
feet between the edge of the new
cement parkway and the front row of
boxes IN the grandstand. "A switch will
be run from the cement curbing around
in front of the grandstand, and between
this switch and the first row of boxes
there will be pit about 500 feet long,
10 feet wide and feet deep. In this
pit the different racing crews will keep
their supplies. including water, gas, of
and tires AS the drivers desiring sup
plies turn off on this switch their crews
In the bottom of the pit will toss up
tires and gasoline to the drivers and
mechanicians, as they alone are allowed
to work on the car.
Another official supply station will be
established on what may be termed the
backstretch of the Vanderbilt circuit,
about II miles from the grandstand
and on some part of the old Jericho
turnpike. Here there will be railing on
one side of which the crews must re-
main in charge of their supplies, and
the cars. will stop on the outer side of
the railing while the drivers take on
such supplies as they need. No car
will be allowed to take on supplies in
either of the races except at these Of
cial stations. If tire is thrown be-
tween stations, driver may replace it
provided he has reserve tire on his
car, but he can not take a new one un-
til he reaches the next official supply
stand.
Another feature of the Motor Park
way sweepstakes, which is also some
thing new for automobile racing in this
country, will be the admission of tour
ing cars on the parkway portion of the
Vanderbilt circuit between daylight and
$50 O'Clock in the morning of October
10. The admission fee will be $10
which will entitle the car to parking
space at any point along the parkway
outside of the grandstand parking
reservation. except on the outside of
curves and at bridge crossings where
there is danger of racing car jump
ing into a crowd. After $3.50 in the
morning touring cars will not be al
lowed to move on the parkway They
must take their places before that time
and remain until the race is de-
clared off.

was expended in that way.
