The special committees representing
the American automobile manufactur-
ers. the importers and the American
governing body, recently concluded
their series of conferences which were
held in Chicago. They have arrived
at an understanding whereby the au-
tomobile manufacturers and importers
viii give the American automobile as
socfation unanimous support in the ju-
risdiction and control OF all automobile
contests of a national character held
in this country and win be charged
with the enforcement OF the rules TO be
decided upon later.
This compact between the automo-
bile manufacturers and the representa-
tive organization Of motor car users
in America will positively eliminate the
promotion of any form of national. au-
tomobile competition hereafter which
is not approved by the contest board
of the American automobile associa-
ton. This board is composed of Frank
B. Hover. chairman; Frank 6. Webb,
A. L. McMurtry and the advisory board
thereto-E. r. Hollander, z. p. Chal-
fant and Alfred Reeves
Rules governing all racing events
for 1910 viii be formulated prior to
september next, thereby giving the
manufacturers an opportunity in ad-
vance TO construct the type of cars
that win be eligible for the racing sea-
son of 1910.
A meeting OF the American automo-
bile association contest board will be
held in New York at an early date.
when decisions will be reached upon
many important details Affecting all
forms of automobile competition.
There will be meeting of the exec
utfve committee of the American auto
mobile association on March 2 to ratify
all that has been done by it's. special
committee and the committee which
represented the manufacturers at the
Chicago meeting.
Hereafter Ii will be utterly impossi-
bic for any automobile club or cora0i-
nation of automobile agents to run any
race or contest in this country without
the sanctioned the American automo-
bile association. The manufacturer has
agreed that this is the best policy and
he has assured the association Of his
support, which will make hts position,
as well as. that OF the association. alb

GONE TO THE REPAIR SHOP. A Maine Central
wrecking train arrived last week to extricate
the derailed engine and tender from their rest
ing place in the mud beside the track, half
way down to the bed of the Passagassawaukeag
river. The engine laid upon its side, and both
engine and tender were partially covered by
the earth forced out of the embankment by
the pressure of water behind it. 1t looked like
hard proposition, but the experienced crew
knew just what to do and how to do it, and
with their steam derrick and other wrecking
gear they were soon &c work. While one gang
dug away the earth from the engine and tender
another crew was building spur track down
an incline which to haul them up, and Sun
day the tender had been safely landed, while
the engine had been righted and placed in posi-
ton to be hauled up. It then had to be lifted
to place the forward trucks under it, but this
was easily done and that evening the engine
on the main rails again and was taken in
tow of the wrecking train to the repair shops
at Waterville. The damage to engine and ten
der was not very great.
THE TAX COLLECTOR CASE. At the June
meeting of the city government only one name
was presented as candidate for tax collector,
although there was another candidate On
motion the city clerk was instructed to cast
one ballot for the joint board and Charles H
Sargent was declared elected. Wayland Knowl-
ton, Esq, the city solicitor, who was also a
candidate for tax collector, declared the cleo
tion of Mr.. Sargent illegal and made so strong
case that it was decided to have another
election, and by ballot Messrs. Sargent, Knowl-
ton and John S. Davidson were voted for, and
the latter having a majority was declared
elected, qualified, and entered upon the duties
of the office. Mr.. Sargent then brought bill
in equity to test the legality of the second
election and a hearing was held in August be-
fore Judge Whitehouse at Augusta, at which
both parties were represented by counsel
Ellery Bowden, Esq, of Winterport for David
son and Dunton & Morse for Sargent. Last
Saturday Judge Whitehouse, then holding court
in this city, rendered his decision, dismissing
the bill. The decision sustains the contention
of the counsel for Davidson that the first elec-
tion was not legal, on the ground that the clerk,
not being member of the joint convention,
has no legal right to cast the ballot. This is
said to be the first decision on this point ever
made in Maine.
