MILE A MINUTE
SPEED ON CARD
Half a Dozen Cars in River

NEW YORK. Sept. denominations
to the road race over the Riverhead-
Mattituck circuit in Suffolk county
closed yesterday.
With ali going 90 the line, eighteen
cars Wiz face the starter at $50 o'clock

freely made that a new American road
record for stock cars will be set up
The list is a representative one and
contains at least half a dozen cars ga
gable OF running a mile a minute Over
the rolling surface OF the Riverhead
circuit the experts believe that the con-
testing machines will be able to main
tain their maximum speed practically
throughout. The course has only three
turns, and its two ten-mile stretches
furnish possibilities for fast work.
The big car class has four entries and
is considered a rather open contest be
tween Herbert Lyle. the Apperson
driver: Ralph De Palma the Fla star,
and Louis Dis0row. who will handle
one of the Rainiers. Little is known OF
the ability of G. NJ. Arms+rong. VINO
Will handle the niuety-horsepOwer Mer-
cedes, by far the most powerful car in
the race. II is quite possible. however.
that the Bucks driven by Burman and

 INDOOR RIFLE RANGE
Secretary Buchner Has Given Approval and Directors
 Will Soon Act

rifle range for the local Y. NJ. c. A. is the latest innovation proposed for this institution in which nearly a thousand men of the city are inter ested. Not an outdoor range, such as the members of the Bisbee Rifle Club enjoy, is proposed. but an in- door range. wherein at the conven- fence of the members they could prac- tivce for efficiency in craftsmanship, deemed of so much importance to the American nation by his late Strenu- osity, Theodore Roosevelt
 The idea of an indoor range was suggested to several of the more en- terprising members of the association who noticed that the second bowl. ing alley in the gymnasium is prac tically idle during the summer months The distance Is just right for an indoor target. Therefore, why not have one2
 The suggestion was immediately taken up with c. F. Buchner, sec retary of the association, and after consideration was approved by him. When asked regarding the propose ed rifle range last night, Mir. Buch- ne, said:
 The idea suggested to me. and which l think is a most excellent one. Is to establish a range, and at the same time take steps towards the af. filiation with the National Rifle Asso- ciation as is provided for in their bylaws relating to civilian rifle clubs. However, no action will bc taken in the matter until it has been submitted to the board of directors of the r. M. C. A to whom the question must be submitted"
 All of the members of the asso citation who have heard of the pro. posed rifle range are enthusiastic about it, and anxious to have another source of amusement and usefulness added to the social department of tho institution. Secretary Buchaer said last night that the matter would be 1 submitted to the board within the within the next few days.

Canning kept a very close tab on legislative doings and was constantly on the ground. It is said that Dr. Hughes. several days following the passage of the Pace b'H. heard Kean St. Charles remark that he could have been s10.000 rich CT if he had vote dthe other way.
 He also told me that they" had done everything possible and brought every pressure under the un to bear to get his support. even to threaten ing his business. He said his stand ing up for the. Pace bill had lost hin s35 a month in advertising in the Mineral Wealth, a newspaper which he publishes at Kingman. These statements undoubtedly led to fur ther investigations.
 Some revelations are soon to be made; that's all thenewspapers need to know at the present time, said Dr. Hughes this morning.
 We have placed our fact before the grand jury. If this grand jury does nothing we will wait until DC tober, when the next one meets. We have so many facts concerning tho shameful operations which went on about the capitol building during the last legislative session that we do not intend they shall go to waste. We ave no started this without the prooi to hack it up.
