Made in Normal School Matter.-Waiting
Game Being Played

$3.50 p. m. News from the Capt.
tol City relative to the status of the
normal school fight has been rather
difficult to get. except from the
various daily papers of the twin
cities and Duluth which are re-
ceived here, and for the most part,
the matter contained in those papers
is highly colored to suit the policy
of the management, which is favor
ing Cass Lake i'll the normal fight.
AS an Illustration of this stated
fact, the St. Paul Dispatch, month
ago, had the matter all settled and
the school located at Cass Lake all
that was necessary, according to
the Dispatch, was to call the roll,

when McGarry would produce 90
votes and the bill would go through
the house and the senate with a
hurrah.
The Dispatch reckoned withoutits
host, and since that announcement
was made McGarry and Gum have
lost ground, whether sufficiently to
lose the school is yet to be deter
mined, but they have been losing.
The ways of the various state
legislatures are devious, and just

Especial to Pioneer. AT this hour,
nothing has been done today, in
either the senate or the house, on
the various bills affecting the pro-
posed sixth state normal school.
The senate and house are both in
session, and it is possible that some
action will be precipitated by the
supporters of one of the measures,
in which case there will be another
lively skirmish."

tinues to improve for the supporters
of the general" bill, with the posi-
bility of all measures being killed,
although the Cass Lake supporters
are fighting every inch.

all that could be done was to keep
close tab" on every act and be pre-
pared for the fight, which might be
sprung at any time when McGarry
or Gum thought the time was pro-
pitious. Hence the delay and irri-
tating waits for a final vote and

The third lap furnished sensation

a 9O-miIe clip.

Fifty thousand spectators scattered
over the % ITO miles comprising the
Vanderbilt cup course saw Joe Tracy,
driving a Locomobile, win the elimina-
ton contest, at an average speed of
Sc 1-5 miles per hour for a total of 2s7
miles.
The last four laps were a hammer
and tongs battle between Tracy and
LIE Blon both driving with a despera-
ton and nerve that were astounding.
Nobody was killed or seriously in
jured. and only one racing machine,
that of Mongini. the Italian, was over
turned He ran 1t around the fatal
telegraph pole and up a hill at the Man

| list sailed on into a nearby cornfeld
You could hardly hear the starters

Keelers car: "Five-four-th ree-two
-one-go-o-o"
| Like a projectile from a giant gun
the big machine lunged forward with
a rush that blew Keeler's ear flaps
| against his head and pushed the ma
chinist in a huddle against his seat.
! Up came No. with Lyle at the
wheel There was another signal, an
other flash and disappearance. and way
was made for Mongini, the Italian, in
/ the Matheson car. He drove from the
mark in fine style, but the next car
with the French driver Caillois. had to
lose twenty-five seconds in getting
away.
Joe Tracy received an ovation when
he wheeled up to the mark in his Lo-
comobile. Maybe it was because the
crowd knew that Tracy's sweetheart
was in the grand stand When the
last Of the flyers had started the
crowd settled back to hear the news Of

came in this fashion:

cylinder.
