INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 1S.-The
i've mile speed record for an automobile
upon an ellipticsI track was broken on
the motor speedway today by Lewis
strang, driving a 200 horsepower Fiat
car. in s:l7.7o.
Strangs performance so startled the
track officials that they at first were
disposed not to credit it. But the cleo
fric timing device could not be doubted.
when strang stopped he found one Of
his tires had been split and must soon
have blirsted. He said if it had not
been for the bad tire, he believed his
time would have been even faster.
The timing machine caught strang'
one mile flying start before he entered
upon the five mile trip at 1902. The
course is Of two and half miles and
Strang then made two laps. The TIM
ing machine caught also the last mile
of each lap Ia the first lap this mile
was done ia 1896 and in the second lap
fn 1866 IN one of these miles a quar-
Ter was covered in sos, which is a new
record for this distance.
These trials were made for the pur-
nose of testing the efficiency and safety

FAMISHING QUAIL
FED BY HUNTERS
Snow Cleared From Ground i'm
IHyO County and Wheat
Set Out for Birds

Los ANGELES, Dec. 1s.-Edward
Dunn. a Los Angeles sportsman, brings
from Independence an interesting story
Of quail conservation in Inyo county.
Snow has covered the ground there
since the storm two weeks ago and
most of the quail would have been
dead but for the aid given by the men
who usually take a shot at them.
The snow has been cleared from a
considerable space in Independence and
there the quail are fed regularly. The
birds have become accustomed to this
treatment and thousands of them flock
daily 70 the feeding ground, where
wheat is thrown to them much as it is
to chickens in a poultry yard.
The work is in charge of j. Naylor,
landlord of the independence hotel,
who takes up daily collection with
which TO provide sustenance for the
birds

SUBMARINE MINE DEFENCE,
Entrance to Hampton Roads Closed in
Hours and as Minutes.

Washington, June 2S.-That the
submarine mine defence of the United
States has been brought to high
state of efficiency was well demon
strated by the work yesterday Of the
student officers Of the Coast Artillery
School at Fort Monroe when the
entire entrance to Hampton Roads
was closed in the record time of eight
hours and forty-five minutes. This
period included the time required to
load the mines on shore and prepare
the cables, as we'll as the time re-
quired to plant the mines. Suisse
quently some of the mines were dis
charged at a moving target
This is the first practice of the sea-
son on a war footing and the best
record yet achieved by the Coast
Artillery. Formerly it required two
days to close the roads. Practice in
New York harbor will be held later.
