the race whom I was afraid of was
 Ralph Hamlin yet such are the vicis-
 situdes of a race like this-Hamlin
 was never in 1t at all He is a thor
 ough sportsman and good friend of
 mine, and I admire him, but I do think that he should have finished the race
 My schedule. to the river was 10 hours and 45 minutes. I failed by two and half hours. I had the misfor- tune of setting the pace for the oth- CTS. as I drew number one in the start. Everyone knew just where I was. but I did not have any idea of where the others were. You may im- agihe my astonishment. then, when saw Number 9 coming around a curve. It almost took the sap out of me. The Buick beat me fairly at every stage of the game. I do not believe that the time made this year will be equaled next year. It was atrociously fast. too fast for me. I think that I made a fair run over a rough course with a high geared car. I appreciate this cup highly. as I was at one time associated with the Cop per Queen company
 In presenting the copper cup given by the Calumet and Arizona, Mir. Bull lard said:
 ''I never yet urged a man to play cards with me but what he beat me I had to entice Nell Johnson into this game. and then. of course, he won out"
 Mir. Johnson said that he had never been very enthusiastic over the Los Angeles Phoenix course. 'I had seen Arizona from the windows of a rail- way train and it did not look like a speedway to me" he said. T told John Mitchell it was a crime to ask me to drive over it: but Mitchell and Bullard egged me on till I entered. I want to say that these two men. and especially Mir Bullard. have made the race what it is-the greatest event of it's kind in the country to- day. And Mir Bullard has had to work against the predictions of -the-wool horsemen and con- vince them that an automobile race is just as interesting to the world as a horse race. He has done more than all the other members and officials of the fair put together to promote racing in the territoryY

Negro Alexander Removed Under An Escort of Mil itia-Remissness of Jus tice Said to Be Responsi- ble for the Outbreak

Cairo, ills. Nov. 12.-With the negro, Arthur Alexander. the last of those ar rested in connection with the murder here on Monday of Miss Annie Pelley, safe out of town. and some $50 mem bers of the Fourth regiment, Illinois National Guard. on duty in the streets and about the jail tonight. the mob spirit that held Cairo for four days seems quelled. Every known danger point is occupied by the troops.
 Alexander. reported to have been implicated in the murder of Miss Pel icy by the dying statement of the ne- gro James. one of the victims of last nights mob. was sent to an unan- nounced point north of here late this afternoon. He was escorted from the jail to special train by seven com panies of militia
 Sheriff Davis told of recognizing several members of the mob who took James from his care last night. but what steps will be taken to bring those implicated in the uprising to trial has not been determined. Mayor Parsons said he was asleep and heard no shot or other sound to indicate that the city was in the hands of a mob
 Mayor Parsons said today that it was not believed that any official should be blamed for last nights lynchings. He thought a majority Of the citizens of Cairo depIored the dis grace of the city and the state, but the same citizens believed the results salutary. He said that Cairo had had more than its share of mur- ders in the past ten or fifteen years. but juries had failed to convict. or had convicted only in minor degrees. The fact is that murder in Cairo. I regret to say. has been tolerably safe be- lieve that Cairo will be peaceful and law abiding hereafter"

THE HIGHER PRICES
 IN DRY GOODS LINES
But the Market Is Adapting Itself to
 Them.

New York. Nov. 11.-Dun's review will say tomorrow:
 Further progress is being made in the readjustment of markets at the higher prices that are inevitable in period of big gold production. re- viving industry and active specula- tion. Prices are being adjusted stead fly to the higher cost of production. The higher cost of ginghams and knit goods for the fall season. and pre- liminary showings in mems wear samples for the fall. and contin- uance of the good reports from job ping and retail centers. are some of the important features of the dry goods week. Footwear conditions con- tinue to improve. and the trade in all varieties is more general and larger in volume. There is a good trade in leather. and prices rule very firm. The hides market continues firm, but the trading of late is less active.

Tobacco and Christian Morals.

the institution had admitted only fifteen

Columbia's Announcement.

of other equally strong offerings. In ad-
to time a dazzling array of musicians,
artists. platform orators, noted travellers
ami other concert attractions that will
bear the scrutiny of the most exacting.
In anticipation of the exceptional de-
mands that will be made upon the house

With the front raised so as to give better
line of vision, and an electrical equip
ment has been installed that insures the
best of lighting facilities and effects only
possible in view Of recent scientific dis

the curtain is new and its worth will be
reflected from time to time as the needs
of the shows are made apparent.
In the front of the house. by reason Of
the limited time available, no extensive
improvements could be carried out. but
everywhere things have been made bright
and new by the liberal use of paint and
varnish. Inasmuch as the entire audi
torium was rebuilt last summer there
