opened and the distribution of moneys
begun.

and threes and the trainers and rubbers
followed by camps As they descended
10 the ground floor again a general ex-
preston OF dissatisfaction was heard
on all sides. but il was impossible to
learn what amount each rider received.
Mr.. Powers before ascending 20 the
room TO pay off took the precautiOn OF
ordering all representatives of the press
barred. When an attempt was made to
speak 70 him on the telephone to fnd
out just what was going on the operator

In the meantime. as the various dis

An idea evolved by a garage keeper
I'm ST. Louis is likely TO be adopted all

the benefit of St Louis motorists who
meet with miShaps on the road. The
idea is to establish certain number OF

ways around the Missouri metropolis.
Those who join the league will upon
payment, be given a key which Is num-
bered. This Will be registered at the
COmpanys office and when call Is
made by a member. the key cannot be
released until one Of the trouble men
arrives. thus guarding against unneces-

position Of neither CantillOn nor John

class Of tactics they would employ Is
almost as beliltling TO the game as the

La Toilette Men May Probably Vote
for Junior Senator To-day.
Threat in EDITORIAL Believed TO Have
Influenced Change in Wis

Madison. Wis, Feb. "a sensational
story Is sfost tonight that the La Fol-
lette followers have decided 10 drop their
war against Senator Stephenson and to
permit his election at the joint session
tomorrow The story is that the La
Toilette men viii vote against the pro-
posed investigation Of Nr. Stephenson.
which has been so brOadened as to take
in the two La Toilette campaigns as well
and viii then permit the election Of the
Senator to take place. It is said that q
covert threat brought about this deci-
sion
The Monday issue Of Ia. Follette's Nil
wsukee newspaper. contained an edito-
rial which said that the charges made
against Nj Stephenson were no more
serious than those fled against Mr.. La
Toilette a few years ago, when Mr..
Stephenson was his financial sponsor. II
was maintained by the La Toilette men
that this was an intimation that Mr..
Stephenson proposed to tell how he had
spent money in behalf Of Mr. La Fol-
lette in case he was pressed too strong
by the La Toilette followers as TO his
own campaign expenses.
II IS not likely that this VIII be the
outcome. but II is taken as an indication
that the sensations which viii develop
from the primary probe win not react
against Stephenson alone.
