CITIZENS GAIN A VICTORY.

Citizens who have labored incessant-
ly and faithfully to have the so-called
stockade closed, feel encouraged be-
cause OF the results OF tbs last whole
sale raid. They believe that this has,
practically, had the desired effect, and
that the Infamous resort cannot again
be thrown wide open as 1t has been.
The women who We're arrested on
Friday took tho matter as a humorous
incident. They relied on the promises
of their mistress that they would be
bailed out, and felt sure that they
were not to be detained in Jail. But
when this failed, their courage fell,
and they promised not to 20 back to
the place. They We're anxious to leave
town, and to warn others not to come
here. 1t is thought that these women
themselves will Sc to 1t that the man
ager of the, place shall not find it

has been all but closed since Friday.

The complete success of the new
fuel while on this 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were we'll described
In the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion Of
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal oil, as fuel instead Of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made In its
behalf were fully proven. First OF
all. as regards cheapness. the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
lene. Secondly. the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
1t was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish Of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall. where the technical
examination took place. without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly. the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly.
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part OF the route was most con-
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

an honor would be no more than fit
ting, " one declared, "in view of the
fact that the explorer has placed the
stars and Stripes on the apex of the
world and added perhaps $4,000 square
miles to the nations territory"
Among the explorers who are ex-
pected to take prominent part are
the Duke d'Abruzzi, DR.. Nansen, Cap
tain Ronald Amundsen, General A. W.

Captain Bradley S. Osborne, secre-
tary of the Arctic club, says the ex-
plorer is not expected here for several
weeks.
"He is due in Copenhagen in three
days." said Captain Osborne, "and if
ne came straight home would arrive in
New York about the middle of Septem-
Der, but his friends believe that he
may make several stops on the way.
For one thing the geographers and sci
entists of Copenhagen will tender him
welcome. He may go to Christiana
to meet Captain Amundsen discoverer
of the Northwest passage; it is likely
that he will visit Belgium where he
has been decorated for his services to
science and it is scarcely conceivable
that the British geographical societies
would alloy him to pass them on his
way home without an invitation to
London"

The most Interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
OF the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil. instead of
gasoline Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use OF the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people. however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car. the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined TO make a public demonstra-
ton OF the new fuel In the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint OF the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
tance covered on the Glidden Tour.
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses. II such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion OF observers. named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore, 1t would have been impos-
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty in
nicted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.

Santa Fe Will Put Fast Train on Rur

to Coast.
Chicago, Sept. 4.-The management
of the Santa Fe railroad has about de-
cided to put into operation a new fast
mail and express train to run between
Kansas City and Los Angeles, with a
view to capturing the bulk of the
Southern California mail.
This adds another speed war to that
recently declared by the Hill roads in
the mail. express and passenger traffic
to the Pacific coast, affecting differ
ent territory between the East and Cal
ifornia.
The entire Southern California mail
is involved in the move, and this is
said to bring about $1,25O, 600 annual
revenue to the railroads. The Santa
Fe and Rock Island, in connection
with the Southern Pacific, now have
this business about equally divided.
The bulk of this mail comes from
the St. Louis gateway by the Missouri
Pacific. The reweighing period for all
the territory west of the Missouri river
and west of St. Paul begins next Feb
ruary and on this account every road
in that territory is urging the disposi-
tion of the mails for the yearly period
following the,1O days. weighing by the
government. Formerly the Santa Fe
carried the bulk of the Southern Cali
fornia mail, but several years ago the
Missouri Pacific put on fast train
which captured the mail out of st.
Louis and the Rock Island put on its
Golden State Limited, which left Kan
sas City just after the arrival of the
Eastern mails. At that time the San
ia Fe was not in position to change
its schedule to wait for the mails.
