STRANG SMASHEs RECORDS.
Drives Auto at High Speed Over In.
dianapolis Track.

Indianapolis. Dec. 19.-The five-mile
speed record for an automobile upon an
elliptical track was broken on the motor
speedway Saturday by Louis Strang, driv-
ing a 20O-horsepower Fiat car. in 3m.
field who covered the distance with a
Benz car in Am. 11.3oc. last summer on
this course, before it was paved with
brick.
Strang's performance so startled the Of
ficials of the track that they at first were
disposed not to credit it. Fred Wagner,
the starter, announced that he caught
Strang's time with a stop-watch at 3m.
II 3-5s., or one-tenth of a second faster
than the official time.
When Strang stopped he found that
one of his tires had been slit and must
soon have burst. He decided not to make
any further efforts at records. He said
that if it had not been for the bad tire
he believed his time would have been
even faster.
The timing machine caught Strang' s
one-mile flying start before he entered
upon the five-mile trip at 40.02s. The
course is one of two and one-half miles
and Strang then made two laps. The tim
ing machine caught the last mile of each
lap.
In the first lap this mile was done in
.36s and in the second lap in 1865. In
one of these miles, quarter was covered
in S.05s., which is Il new record for this
distance
These trials were made to test the eff
cheney and safety of the track. repaved
with brick, upon which five lives were
lost in last summers races. The owners
of the plant and the drivers say they
are satisfied with it now. Strang said
his car held we'll to the surface and he
felt entirely safe on the banks Before
he broke the five-mile record Strang set
new mile record for the Indianapolis
track at 39.21s.
Only Strang and Christie tried for rec
ords. Christie did quarter in $685., but
one of the springs on his freak racer
was found to be defective and it was
decided to take no chances with it.

COTE BESTS GOODMAN.

Manchester, N. H., Dec. 19-Arthur
Cote of Biddeford. Me-, won all the way
in his l5-Jound bout with Kid Goodman
Of Boston at the Queen City A. A. be-
fore u crowded house
Cote's left jabs and his lungs proved
more than Goodman could stop. He
tried to counter with the left to meet
Cote, but the Biddeford man let it go
by and played havoc with Goodman's
face, drawing blood from the mouth
and cutting his ear.
Goodman played for the body contin-
ually and rained blows en- Cote's
stomach, but could not take the steam
out of the Maine boxer. Cote did good
service with his right at close quarters,
rocking Goodman's head with short
blows. The decision was highly popu-
lar.
Young McDCnough of this city was
knocked out in the seventh round Of his
bout with Tommy Furey of Attleboro.
McDonough had the better of Furey at
long range and did damage to his OPP
ponenSs face with right and left-hand
hooks. Furey Ike pit pounding the body
IN the clillches, and at infighting proved
McDonolgh's superior by a wide
margin.

ASK INTERVENTION.
Prominent Managua Women Tell of
Torture and Outrage.

Managua, Nicaragua, via Corinto,
Dec. 19.-SOme of the most prominent
women in Managua have sent d petit
ton to Henry Calder, the acting con-
sui of the United States here. Their
names are signed to the petition, which
sets forth the tortures to which
Zelayas prisoners have been subject
ed, and pitifully requests the inter-
vention of the American government.
"Numberless prisoners" says the
petition, have been tortured in their
cells in the penitentiary; their families
have been impoverished; liberty has
been crushed and patriots have been
killed in their efforts to end crime, ex-
tortion and tyranny and tC prevent the
assassination of Groce and Cannon.
1--WE implore you to bring the male
factor to justice that his many crimes
may receive the punishment they de-
serve, and that he be not permitted to
escape
For weeks the associates and adher-
ents of Zelaya have been conducting a
reign of terror Their chief victims
have been the best people in the coun-
try Property has been confiscared, ia
lIItTS dIlt. SOIlS have Dccit
wives and daughters have been forced
to submit to unspeakable outrages, or
dragged off to Jail or cruelty injured.
large number of women met and
finally decided to submit their plea to
the representative of the government
whose warships are close at hand.
The agitation became so strong
against the confinement of hundreds,
and perhaps thousands, in prison that
the officials deemed it advisable to take
steps to release at least some of those
against whom crimes had only been al
legged.
1t was after the American warships
reached CoriEtO that the demonstration
against Zelaya became pronounced, for
those who have been crying for the
revolution We're fully convinced that
bluejackets and marines from the ships
would be landed
Now they are certified lest men are
sent ashore. In such an event they fear
reprisals by the Zelayan forces, which
are still strong in Managua.
Many revolutionary suspects have
been thrown INFO prison and put to tor
ture, and there are number now in
chains VINO refused to do the bidding
of the government. Among these is
Anibal Chavez, an officer in the army,
who was in command of the. firing
squad when Groce and Cannon We're
brought out for execution. He refused
to give the firing order and exclaimed
as he threw down his sword: Il am a
soldier, not a murderer"
Daily the consul-general is in re-
ceipt of threats Of death. but beyond
exercising watchful care he has taken
no precautions to guard against at
tack.

In Hands Of Organizations
T. Generally Assumed.
Control Supposed 10 Be still
In Hands Of a Few Capitalists.
Great importance Attached TO To.
bacco and Standard Oil Cases,

New York, Dec. 19.-The stock mar
ket last week reflected the shifting in
fiuences Of conflicting factors in the
speculation by the irregular and rath-
er narrow fluctuations in the price
movement. The year-cnd requirements
on the money market exercises some
cOnstraint on the activity. Sentiment
was responsive still to favorable pros
poets, but actual = benefits accrued
brought reactionary tendency due to
prOfit-taking sales.
The support in face of any unfavor-
able influence was taken to prove that
the control OF the market was still
strongly entrenched in the hands of a
coterie of powerful capitalists, which
has been credited with the direction of
the speculation for many months past.
1t was with the probable future plans
OF this element that speculative surmise
and conjecture concerned themselves
principally, as between determina-
ton to push the price advance further
in the coming year or an effort to dis
tribute heavy holdings on the first ia
vorable opportunity afforded by an
awakened general demand for stocks
The fact of enormous undistributed ac-
cumu3tions in the hands of the mar
ket organizations is generally assum-
ed. An interruption to their plans for
market operations during the fall by
the recall of foreign credits and the
policy of the Bank of England was in
ferrei from the known course of
events. Various contingencies that may
serve as obstacles to the completion
Of these plans are taken account of in
the estimate Of the future.
The lethargic investment demand
manifest in the bond market does not
augur hopefully for f1oataticns OF new
capital. Provision for the new issue
may involve, it is feared, some liqui-
datiOn of existing holdings
There is much discussion Of the pend
ing supreme cour, decisions in the
American Tobacco and the Standard
OH cases. Great Importance is attach
ed TO these cses as probably shaping
factors in the legislative and executive
program towards corporations. 1t is
feared that, in the meantime, the UNI
certainty may harm the stock specula-
ton and even in some degree regular
business activities.
The strength of the foreign exchange
market pointed to an outgo of gold d.
rect to London during the coming
week. A special demand is due to the
payments to be made to foreign hold
crs of American securities.
The labor problem is kept in view
by the formulation of demands for in
creased wages by railroad employees
the declaration of war against the
United states steel Corporation by the
Pittsburg labor conference and by the
general consideration of the high cost
of living. The purchases of several in
dependent telephone lines by }. +.
Morgan & Co. kept alive the conviction
that extensive capital combinations
were still being worked out.
