MOTOR PARKWAY, L. l. Oct so
Under circumstances which turned the
event into the hollowest mockery. OF an
automobile race ever witnessed on Long
Island, Harry F, Grant, driving a sixty
horse power Alec car today. won the
fifth Vanderbilt cup race. completing
twenty-five circuits OF a n-64 mile course In
four hours, twenty-five minutes and forty
TIVE seconds. Edward II. Parker at the wheel
OF a forty-five horse power Fiat was
second, five minutes and sixteen seconds
behind the winner.
William Knipper, driving a forty horse
power Chelmers-D Detroit. was in third posi-
ton when the race was declared off by
the officials only two other cars, the
Merceder, driven by wishart and the
Atlas. driven by Knox, were on the course
to the end.
Although run under unsurpassed weather
conditions the race was marred in its early
stages by simultaneous presence on the
course OF three separate sets OF cars rum
ming three distinct races over the same
course, and in its final period after the
smaller cars had left the circuit, by &C
cidents so numerous that but five OF the
fifteen Vanderbilt cup entries were left as
contestants.
Not until the beginning Of the twentieth
lap, when the Fiat disloged the Chalmers
Detroit for first position and was itself
passed in the back stretch by the Alec.
did anything like genuine enthusiasm
manifest itself.
Alcot Far I'm Lead.
For a brief period is seemed that a close
finish would be witnessed. but in the
t~wenty-first and twenty-second laps Grant
widened the gap that separated him from
the field and finished practically alone.
Up to within one lap of the finish, the
officials were at odds as to the number OF
laps which the leading car had finished
and it was only after a vigorous protest
from the entrants Of the Alec that the
correct reading of the time card was an
nounced. The time made by the winner
was equivalent to 60h miles an hour, for
the entire distance Of 278.0s miles.
The small car races run simultaneously
with the days chief event, respectively the
Massapequa sweepstakes and the Wheat
ley Hills sweepstakes were won. the first
by Joe Matson driving a twenty-five
horse power Chalmers-Detr and the
second by r. w. HaTroun, driving a
thirty-two horse power Marmon.
The Massapequa was won in 2 hours, 2
minutes, 52h seconds. Martin Doorley,
driving No. 46, Maxwell. was second, and
Arthur Sea. driving Maxwell A. third.
The Wheatley Hills sweepstakes was won
by r. w. Harroun, driving the Marmon,
who covered the fifteen laps of the course,
or 1880 miles, in 8 hours, 10 minutes. 21A
seconds. The only other car to finish was
the Columbia, No. 80. driven by Wilcox.

DANE CLEMINSON, TAKEN IN
CELL, SHOWING EXPRESSION
OF FEAR AND WORRY, BEFORE
HE CONFESSED.
Special Correspondence to The Press
CHICAGO, June 9.--Inch by inch
the Chicago police forced DR.. Hal
dane Cleminson to admit that the
first story he told of his wife's
death was a lie. He is now in a
cell.
These are the police moves in
the case:
First: DR.. Cleminson called up
a physician to say that he had
found his wife dead beside him in
bed. When police arrived they
found the house in disorder. Jew
elry, which Cleminson said was
missing, was found in his pockets.
Second: DR.. Cleminson removed
to hospital, claiming burglars had
chloroformed him and his wife.
Police feigned belief in his story.
Third: Police permitted physi-
sian to go to his wifes funeral and
saw him fearless at casket.
Fourth: Police suddenly threw
Cleminson into cell, charging him
with murder.
Fifth: Police found florists bill
in house and traced flowers to
woman patient of physician in hos
pital.
Sixth: Police humored Clemin-
son in fear that they might dope
his drinking water and put him
into laxative mood.
Seventh: When Cleminson, after
many sleepless hours, wanted to
sleep, they took him into headquar-
tiers for the third degree. There
weren't, any burglars" shouted
Cleminson at last. II told that
story to save the honor of myself
and my children. For the same rea-
