the final vote Of 81 to % decided for
the second time within four days the
fate OF the ordinance.
The attack on the Kensington &
Eastern ordinance was led by Alder.
man Michael Mclnerney and Alderman
Frank Koraleski. McInerney had In
his possession petition signed by 800
people OF Pullman protesting against
the ordinance. Koraleski challenged
the aldermen who had signed pledges
not to give away the public streets
10 any quasi.public corporation to viO-
late their pledges.
Other aldermen fought the measure
and denounced the Illinois Central
Railroad In no uncertain terms.
Alderman McInerney, In leading the
fight for himself. Aldermen Powers,
ConlOn, Kunx. Kenna, COughlin aud
other nOtables OF the council against
the ordinance, referred to the Illinois
Central as a grasping corporation that
recognized no one but itself.
ATTACKS ILLINOIS CENTRAL.
This grasping corporation seeks not
only to steal the lake front, but ia
steal away the rights Of the people to
dictate track elevation, to open their
streets, to collect compensation, to visit
the lake front, to ask for electrihca'
tiOn, to regulate fares--in fact, to look
for anything but something to add to
the receipts Of this all.hog institution"
he said. There In something crooked
about this ordinance. The best l can
say OF the men who pushed 1t to its
present state is that they took some
long chances and used methods that,
while not coercion, could not stand an
Investigation. The measure Is a dan
gerOus one. 1t should not pass"
The ordinance was the only matter
OF note In the council, which had prac-
tically completed It's business before
\ o'clock. The Commissioner OF Pub
lie Works secured permission to give
the Chicago Pneumatic Tube Company
permission to build five-foOt tun-

MOTORCYCLISTS
TO DO CENTURY
DERKUM AND De ROSTER WILL
MEET AGAIN TODAY
HUNDRED MILES ARE EXPECTED
IN HUNDRED MINUTES
Previous Nerve Thrills Are Expected
to BE Multiplied by Two, and
by Three in Long
Distance

A larger number of worlds records
will fall today at the Coliseum motor
cycle track than have previously fallen
at all the races heretofore held at that
remarkably fast track. This statement
is made possible because of the unique
race that has been arranged between
the professional cracks now racing
here, including De Roster, Derkum,
Mitchell, Lingenfelder and Samuelson.
The race was first suggested by the
burning desire on the part of that red
demon, De Roster to go against the
1OO-mile record and for intermediate
miles, now held by foreign riders. II
was realized by the management that
fast as De Roster was certain to rlde,
the exhibition would not be sufficiently
interesting to a large crowd who would
want contest and not sprint against
the watch. To give the public real
contest, with hair-raising trimmings
possible for every mile of the long dis
tance. it was decided to hang up a
purse for 100 miles, to be ridden for
by all the professionals.
The interesting fact in connection
with such a race is that there is a
possibility of any rider winning and
losing the race a half-dozen times be-
fore the finish tape is crossed. Incl
dentally it presents untold possibili-
ties of any number of individual duels
between the various riders as they
pass or attempt to pass each other
along the long course.
Derkun, because of his greater stay
ing or endurance qualities, is believed
by many to have an edge over his
proven faster rival, Jake De Roster at
shorter distances, although the latter
has always liked the idea of this longer
distance, and has no doubt of his abili-
ty to ride mile for mile with Derkum
or any other rider on the saucer tracks.
With this disputed question of endur-
ance raised, the possibilities of some
nerve thrills are intensified, and last
Sundays excitement is expected to be
multiplied by two and three.
1t is confidently believed that the
100 miles will be done in as many min
utes, while De Roster emphasizes his
ninety minutes, if nothing unforeseen
happens.
The professionals will meet in only
the one race of the day, but the anna
teur riders--Huyck. Graves, Bake and
others-will meet in three other events,
and some hair-raising work may be
confidently looked for in these Simon
pure ranks.
These amateur events consist of two
four-mile and one six-mile race, for
both single and double cylinder ma
chimes.
Samuesoln, on an Indian, and A. c.
Wilson, a newly acquired member of
the professional ranks, will also COM
pete in the 100-mile event, the latter
on new seven-horsepower Merkel,
which is expected to show some very
fast speed.

AUTOFEST NOW
ASSURED FACT
CONWELL SELECTED AS THE
MANAGING HEAD
RECEIVES PERMISSION FROM HIS
FACTORY TO ACT
Details Will Be Prepared and SUBJ
mitted to the Dealers Association
at Its Regular May
Meeting

The "autofest," proposed by J. l..
Conwell of the Maxwell Briscoe-Los
Angeles company, secretary of the deal
ers' association, is now an assured
fact, every doubt heretofore existing in
this connection having been wiped out
during the past week.
Word has been received from Benja-
min Briscoe of the Maxwell Briscoe
factory, in the shape of first tele-
gram and then a personal letter. dl-
rected to Mr.. Conwell, giving fullest
approval of the latter's assuming en-
tire charge of the details of the auto
fest as its manager. in case he were
selected by the dealers association. In
this letter Mr.. Briscoe shows great
breadth of judgment and consideration,
in that he does not raise the slightest
objection to Mr.. Conwells acting in
this capacity, even though it involves
not only a personal but business sac
riflce on the part of both the local
branch and the factory.
Mr.. Briscoe incidentally commiserates
with Mr.. Conwell on the task before
him and assures him that his work will
not be entirely bed of roses nor yet
a child's work. Mr.. Briscoe speaks
from a wide experience, having had
personal connection with many of the
largest automobile shows held in re-
cent years in different portions of the
country. He believes, however, that per-
sonal considerations should be waived
in the larger interests of the automo-
bile industry in it's efforts thoroughly to
educate the public regarding the posi-
bilities of the motorcar.
This word from the factory was crys
talized later in the week when the an
nouncement was made at the dealers
association that this permission had
been granted Mr. Conwell to assume
the managerial direction of the "auto-
fest" in case the association should re-
quest it, This announcement was no
sooner made than a motion was
promptly carried that Mr.. Conwell be
selected to take charge of the proposed
outdoor show, and he was also in
structed to proceed with the working
out of the details. Mr.. Conwell insisted
that he must have the cooperation of
every member in the association in
case he assumed this duty, and he was
promptly assured by formal vote that
he should likewise have it.
MI Conwel has therefore already set
to work on these details and they will
De ready for formal submission to the
association at the regular monthly
meeting in May.

SOLID TIRES TO
RECEIVE A TRIAL
STEARNS CAR WILL USE THEM
ON SEATTLE TRIP
VIBRATION EouALlZERs ARE TO
BE, UTILIZED
Coming Ooean.to.ocean Contest Will
Give Opportunity for stearns
and Simplex Cars to
Prove Superiority

NEW YORK, April 17.--Oscar Stolp,
who has owned a number of high pow
cred cars, made entry today of q
Stearns car in the ocean-to- ocean con-
test for the Guggenheim trophy.
Mr.. Stolp will be accompanied by H.
Davis Webster, who has had experience
in many long distance tours.
Mr.. Webster stated that the greatest
difficulty that he had encountered had
been tires. Not only are punctures and
blowouts disagreeable. but the wrench
ing off of pneumatic tires in deep sand
is often dangerous. These gentlemen
have therefore decided to use solid tires
on their Stearns.
In order to take up the vibration
which is always greater with solid tires
than with pneumatiCs, an equalizing
lever suspension will be used, (which
Mr. Stolp has been working ever since
he became interested in long distance
motoring.
This equalizer consists of horizontal
lever working against vertical spring
and both Mr.. Stolp and Mr.. Webster
have unlimited confidence in it's eff
ficiency.
If the ocean-to-ocean contest can
give to motorists permanent relief from
tire troubles it will have served its
ends, especially so as already it has
started good road movement in the
west which will be a lasting monument
to the Alaska Yukon Pacific EXPOSE
ton.
Mr.. Stolp intends to equip his car for
the toughest work and will carry four
strips of canvas thirty feet long which,
when laid, will make a road over the
bottomless sand roads of Wyoming.
Due to the rivalry existing between
the Stearns and the Simplex the per-
Torrance of the two cars in COMPETE
ton will be watched with interest
