Atrocious Murder
The murder of peculiarly atrocious
character committed in Fatehjangpur,
Eastern Bengal, affords tragic proof
that the system of terrorism is still in
full operation. Last January Gonesh
Chandra Chatterji was arrested, with
twenty-one other young men, on sus-
picion of being concerned in the Maria
dacoity or robbery case. AS he knew
that mistakes had been made in car
rying out arrests he gave. certain in
formation in respect of the dacoity.
He was released, and April 10 he had
to make deposition in a Dacca stab
bing case. From that time he became
a marked man, and he was openly
threatened with the fate of Gosstain.
June bis house was set fire to, and
when tho police appeared TO investi-
gate the case his fellow villagers MALI
ciously circulated rumor he had COM
mitted incendiarism in order TO involve
them in trouble.

MoaovERN IMPROVING

AMITYVILLE, l.. l., Sept 9.-Terry
McGovern, the pugilist who is patient
at one of the institutions here, is said
to be improving in spite of the recent
report current a few days ago to the
effect that he was dead. McGovern
reads considerably. At times he gives
his attendants much trouble. His
mind is at times clear and on other
occasions it is more or less OF blank.
He win probably not leave Amityville

CALCUTTA. Sept. 9.-The English
man and the Statesman warn the
government of Bengal of the danger of
allowing boycott demonstrations to be
held in Calcutta and the Mofussil
Englshman traces all the unrest in
Bengal to the institution and mainte
nance of this boycott, which has en-
listed the active sympathy of the stu
dent element.
"The boycott" the journal continues,
started in a deliberately spiteful move
ment to injure European interests. We
are rejecting all well informed Euro
pean opinion in BENGAL when we say
that the boycott must be made Illegal
and such demonstrations as those con-
templated be prohibited by the police"
To the Statesman 1t seems inexpli
cable ihat any public meeting to
strengthen the boycott should be toler-
ated under any conditions. The move
ment is intended avowedly to act in
restraint of trade, being specifically di-
rected against British goods. 1t is cal
culated, and by many of its advocates
is designed, to foment anti-British
feeling.
1t cannot be denied that in many
places the agitation has actually pro-
duced hostility to British rule, nor can
it be disputed that it has led to law
less pieketing, social oppression, intim-
idation and crime. Yet the Bengal
government proposes to look on while
the anniversary Of this mischieYous
propaganda is openly celebrated in the
streets of Calcutta. This attitude is
scarcely likely to strengthen the posi-
tion of the loyal section of the edu-
Gated classes.
The Statesmans comment is signif-
cant, inasmuch as in the past it has
always fought the battle of the natives
and held the authorities alone to blame
for the prevailing unrest, disaffection
and crime.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-10

it's pathetic incident of the woman
vainly crying to save an innocent boy
from death, has a significance that
cannot be mistaken. 1t proves that the
spirit of assassination Is at work in
eastern Bengal, and that there is no
public opinion strong enough to check it.
The attitude of the Bengal press in
Calcutta in respect of this murder was
very strange. The facts were well
known, and yet there was practically
no denunciation Of the crime.

Professional Time Beaten


The fast time made by Graves beat
even the professionals in the 10-mile
professional open. There were only two
starters in this race, p. J. c, Derkum
and Arthur Mitchell. Ben Bresee had
entered, but on account of serious ILL
ness could not make the race. Mitchell
won, his time being 1C:46 2-5. Derkum
was easily the favorite of the two
starters, but he had bad luck in the
sixth mile. A plug came loose, and
while he was adjusting it Mitchell
passed him and kept the lead through
the race. Had the race been a mile
longer Derkum would have won, as he
closed the gap gained by Mitchell and
was within two wheel lengths of the
winner when they crossed the line.
Derkum made fast mile in this race,
going the fifth lap in 90 40.
The illness of Bresee made it neces-
sary to call off the thirteenth event,
which was d match race between Dare
devil Derkum and Ben Breese. In place
of this event Derkum gave an exhibi-
ton five miles, going the distance in
ABS 3-5.
A five-mile contest, free for all sin
gle cylinders, was a good exhibition.
1t was won by E. E. Earhart, who went
the distance in SHE. M. J. Graves
was a close second, and these two were
neck and neck the entire distance,
Earhart won the race by the narrow
est fraction of his front wheel. Oak
erman, an adde starter, was third in
this contest.
Added starters figured well in yes
terday's contests. c. II. Jackson, who
was added in the five-mile for fully
equipped doubles, without ports, won
the race. Holbrook, an added starter
in the five-mile for single cylinders
without ports, won the race, and other
added starters in several races took
second or third

Of Most Successful Yet Ar
ranged by Motorcycle
Club

A new track record for Ascot park
on an Indian motorcycle, was the feat
ure of good card of motorcycle races
at Ascot park yesterday, given by the
Los Angeles Motorcycle club.
Graves made this speedy mile in the
1O-mile free-for-all for machines of 81
cubic inches. 1t was his second lap of
the track, and the race was the fastest
ten-nile contest of the day. There
were only two entries starting in this
race, Graves and C. Bake, who rode a
Merkel machine. Graves won the race,
making the ten miles in 9:17 2-5. Sew
en- contestants were entered for this
race, but they were all scratched ex-
cept the two who faced the starter.
Graves made another good record in
the 30-minute race, when he made 81
miles in 29:45. AS he would have over
Tapped the half-hour limit, he was not
permitted to finish. Blake in this race
was only one lap behind Graves, and
had he not taken a few seconds out
for gasoline, easily would have won it,
The time he took out for gasoline gave
Graves the extra lap that won him the
race.
The 3o-minute race was the best of
the day. A field that, crowded close,
reached from one side of the track to
the other entered, but when it was well
started it was clearly evident 1t would
be between Graves and Bake, who
whizzed by the other motorcyclists,
easily making two laps to one of some
of the slower machines. J. H, Shafer,
on a Thor, kept well up with the lead
ers and ended third in the race. The
other starters in this race were hardly
to be considered.

Wild Doas In Africa.

The wild dogs In Africa are more
feared by the natives than any other
beasts, for, while they are not to be
dignified by the term Of game, they
run In packs and seem to know that
the native IL afraid of them. Native
burden bearers will often take their
chances In passing around a buffalo
herd and win hardly notice lion. but
when they hear the howl of the wild
dogs they drop whatever they may be
balancing OH their heads and take to
the trees. There they are frequently
held captive until their cries summon
assistance. Crossing the trail of large
game, these dogs often interfere With
the pursuit. At distance the hunter
is likely TO mistake them for leopards
or some of the smaller game, Intense
disgust follows the woundiDg of wild
dog. for then. according to the ethics
OF the chase. the true sportsman must
pursue and kill the beast. These dogs
are not degenerates, but are natural
mongrels. They have low bodies Gov
