TO CHANGE RACE RULES
Automobile Contests Must Be Con-
Quoted on Same Lines In Future

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 2S.-"There will
be radical and vital changes in the
rules governing automobile speed and
endurance contests as the result of
the fatalities in the races recently
held in indianapolis" said F. II. Elf
oft of New York, secretary of the
American Automobile association.
while here en- route to the good roads
convention at Cleveland
II have just returned from Indian
apolis," continued Mr. Elliott, where
| went in the hope that they had sol
we'd as they claimed they had. the
problem of holding speed races with
danger of fatalities reduced to a min
imum. Instead of being better it was
worse. The inevitable result will be
that the executive committee of the
American Automobile will formulate
rules for the management of these
contests in the future.
There regulations will be submit
ted to the contest board. The con
tests in the future will be conducted
on sane lines"

sign yesterday broke the worlds rec

lance in a heavier-than-air machine,
and won the Grand Prix De La

ed an extra 10 kilometers and re-
manned In the air 10 minutes after
1870 o'clock this evening, the hour
that the timekeepers, under the rules,
ceases to keep a record of the flight
Farman's victory came as a com
plete surprise He had been prepar-
ing his machine secretly and had not
appeared upon tne field until yester-
day except for a few practice flights,
and had been almost forgotten. In
deed, after he started about 430 D.
m, keeping close to the ground, while
Latham and others were soaring in
spectacular fashion high in the air.
Farman attracted no attention until
he had flown so kilometers. Then
suddenly the watchers discovered ne
had gone out carrying petrol enough
for a five hour flight and equipped
with self-cooling revolving motor
built by the Gnome company after
his own design.
All eyes had been riveted on the
monoplane of Latham, who, after
Tissandier's foul of Paulhan in the
morning had ended Paulhams
chances, had become the favorite for
the Grand Prix De La Champagne
Trouble with his ignition plug
forced Latham to descend after he
had covered III kilometers and lis

others had ended their efforts earl

CINE in his repaired machine. also
made a fast trial, showing that the
contest for the international cup lies
between them.

NEW VERMONT RAILWAY
Route Laid Out for Opening Up Nine
Miles of Marble


Rutland. Aug. 27.-The route has
been practically decided upon for at
least part of the railroad that the
prospective purchasers of the $780,
600 plant of the Columbian Marble
company in this city are to build 10
give access to the nine miles of mar.
BILE land taey recently purchased in
Tinmouth and Dandy. Surveyors are
now at work in West Rutland where
the road will connect with the Della
ware & Hudson tracks and it is stated
that 81 100000 will be laid out in the
new line which will be run by steam
power.
A valley, that of the Clarendon
Springs stream, runs nearly due south
from West Rutland almost to Tin
mouth and 1t is this valley that the
road will follow, the grade being very
gradual except at the south end. The
proposition now is to build spur
over the hill from Granville, n, Y, Civ
ing an outlet in another direction.
When asked if the road would han
die moro than the companys freight,
the officials declined to answer furth-
er than that it would be built on a
scale t'Gat would surprise everybody.
The Columbian concern is replac-
ing it's wooden buildings with new
steel structures and is putting up an
additional steel mill, $50 by so feet in
dimensions. Within a few months
Rutland will have running an enter
prise employing 25O hands which mas
been idle for two years.
