MONETARY CONTRIBUTION
TO BE IMPOSED ON FINNS
Russian Government Desides to Exact
Annual Payment in Lieu Of
Military Service


ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 29.-Rus-
sian government has decided in prln-
ciple that steps shall be taken to IN
sure the annual payment from the
state fund of Finland of monetary
contribution to the Russian war office
as compehsat ton for the exemption of
Finnish .citizens from military service,
1T is proposed that a manifesto to
this effect shall be. issued by the en-
peror and that the Finnish diet shall
not be consulted.
Two members of the. Finnish senate,
M HjeIt and NJ. Kalmari, who have
visited st. Petersburg, pointed out to
representatives of the Russian govern
ment that the senate could not support
such a measure. They objected to the
idea of finally reducing Finland's share
in the defense of the empire to mere
monetary contribution, and expressed
the view that such contribution could
best be- regarded as d temporary ex-
pedie1lt to tide over the period until a
satisfactory scheme should be drafted.
In any case, they urged, to levy con-
tribution of this kind on the Finnish
treasury without asking the consent
of the diet would be wholly unconsti-
tutional. 'r "
sThe Representatives of the Russian
government refused to adopt this view.
The reports of the governments in
tentions have caused grave alarm in
Finland, and the parties in the diet
are holding joint conferences to con-
slider the situation.

TWO DAYS RACE
MEET ON TODAY
FIVE GOOD EVENTS FOR THIS
AFTERNOON
Management Has Course in Fine
Shape, Band Will Entertain, New
Score Board viii Be Set
In Motion

The two days of auto racing at AS
cot park under the auspices of the Los
Angeles Motor Racing association VIII
start this afternoon at 2 o'clock. An
interesting program of five events has
been arranged; to be followed on sun
day with three races, the feature peing
a hundred-mile event. ~ '
One hundred dollars in cash prizes
and a similar amount expended in cups
constitute the prizes for which the
nlile-a-minute cars will contest. The
track is in the best OF condition, and
the indications are that the most SEN
sational auto racing ever seen in Los
Angeles will result. -' '
a. The program for this afternoon con-
sists of one-mile speed trials a i've
mile race d ten-mile race, five-mile
handicap and the f1fty-mile motor
Derby. as
The fastest miles will be seen in the
one-mile speed trials for cash prizes
and a cup The drivers will have the
track to themselves and will have no
dust or other cars to interfere with
their driving. This will result in miles
close to the record, and it is being free
" predicted In motor circles that
miles we'll under the minute will be
The five-mile handicap will be an
other stirring contest. In this race
Referee Eddie Maier will place the con-
testants "a in accordance with their
showing in the previous contest, and
he will endeavor to arrange a race
which, on paper, should result in all
the cars flashing down the stretch on
the last lap hood to hood While all
the cars entered can make miles in q
minute, a slight difference is certain
to develop, and the handicap will be
the means of putting the cars on equal
footing as long as they have no
trouble.
When the crowd turns out this aft
ernoon the people cannot but be i'm
pressed by the many improvements
which the Los Angeles Motor Racing
association has made at the track. One
good feature is an immense score
board opposite the stand and back of
the car controls. Another interesting
sight will be the controls. with the re-
pair pits just off the track and the
wired-in sections for the cars between
races. The track viii be kept cleared
and all the repairing will be done in
full view of the spectators.
The fifty-mile race in which five
mile-a-minute cars are entered, is at
tracing considerable attention and nu-
nlerous wagers were placed yesterday
on the result. The Palmer Singer has
been showing some fast miles, but the
Corbin has many followers on account
of it's weight and its driver, Frank
Free Free came down from San
Francisco, where he drove the Knox
in the Portola. He was reported badly
hurt, but shows no sign of injury and
says he is as good as ever
A number of new drivers will make
their appearance today, but, judging
from practice, they win be able to take
care of themselves with the most dar-
ing.
Manager Hempel wishes to announce
that there will be no extra charge for
motor cars. This annoying feature has
caused considerable i'll feeling in the
past The grandstand will also be free.

my original idea was to develop the
product of the American manufacturer

makers. For years France led the
world in the manufacture of automo-

which their makers gained through
road races. Now the American builder

though the race for the Vanderbilt cup
win be started at 0 o'clock in the
morning instead Of daybreak, the same
fantastic scenes which in former years
have made the night before the race
so picturesque, were engaged in tonight
during the hours preceding the un-
leashing Of the twenty-six competing
cars.
The roads leading to the grand stand
and to the vantage points along the
course were alive with the Whir of
automobiles. Nearer the course the
machines numbered thousands. For
many the one-tifne classic derby was
made the occasion for a general cele-
bration. Following a precedent which
had kept them out of bed all previous
Vanderbilt cup preludes, they prolonged
their feasts at the after -the-pIay res
taurants and made a late start for the
course. l
Increased morbid interest attaches
to this years contest owing to the
fact that the race must be run over a
This means there will be twice as
many turns as last year when the
course measured 23.46 miles. When it
is considered that there wifi be twenty
SIX cars running simultaneously in
stead OF seventeen, as last year and
that the drivers are not as experienced,
some idea of the danger may be had.
Extraordinary precautions have been
taken, however, to rob the course Of
one of its chief perils by banking all
of the turns.
The contest is complicated by bring
ing together four classes Of cars run
ming simultaneously for three sets Of
distances. A bond for 100000 to pro-
tect the county Of Nassau against
damage and loss through the race was
given by william K Vanderbilt, jr.

full case of parental devotion and
self-sacrifice has been brought to
light by the discovery of two cases
of leprosy in this city. The victims
are brothers, one 81 years of age and
the other 8 years, and they are the
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. James Younger,
who for nearly 9 years have kept
the secret of their sons affliction
from the public and have practically
kept them prisoners in their home
Twelve years ago the family was
comfortably well to do, when the old
est son contracted loathsome dis
ease and became a prisoner in the
home. The parents cared for him
and sacredly guarded their secret.
Five years ago the other son was
stricken Both are declared to be
beyond cure. The expense of caring
for the two lepers was a constant
drain upon the resources of the fam
lily and their last piece of property.

for taxes.
With the discovery of the lepers by
the authorities the aged parents re
alizing their hopeless fight are will
ing to have their sons sent TO any
institution for treatment. but the city
authorities are confronted with a
serious dilemma. because Texas
makes no provision for lepers. There
is a federal law prohibiting the trans
portation of lepers from one state to
another. even though the Louisiana
leper colony offers to care for the
unfortunates if sent there.
