tunity to attempt to prove himself
sane. Application for a trial to deter
mine his mental condition will be

MED him.
Thaw will be permitted to sit up
until o'clock at night while he is

with the other inmates Lawyer Mors-
chauser complained also that when he
went to consult with Thaw they were
obliged to sit in a room with a lot of

that they give Thaw a room for con-
sultation purposes away from the
other inmates.

ing Business In Spokane.

Grover C. Harrington, who played
behind the bat for the Washington
state college team this spring, will
not return to Pullman when college
opens this fall. Harrington has been
counted on at w. S. c. as a likely
member of the football team this fall,
but his deciding to remain in Spokane
this year will spoil these plans.
When on the high school eleven chr
rington was one of the best football
players in the northwest, and after the
season last fall was picked for "aIl
Northwest" halfback and captain. He
weighs about 165 pounds, in condi-
ton, and would have made a valuable
man for the Pullman team this fall.
Harrington graduated from the high
school last January, and went to W.
S. c. at once, where he made good
with a jump. AS soon as the baseball
season opened. Harrington was sent
behind the bat, where he finished the
season. His fielding and hitting were
a feature of the teams work.

more, the report that has emarated
from the Windy City states that the
Chicago Automobile club will again
stage the contest. AT the recent din
ner rendered the winning drivers, their
mechanicians and the officers of the
race, President Ira Cobe of the Chicago
trophy donated by him would be up for
competition again next year.
Not Financial Success.
The news will come as a surprise to
many followers of the game After
the Cobe cup event had been decided
1t was freely predicted by the wise
acres that the west had seen its last
race for the Cobe cup. 1t was rumored
that the Chicago motorcar organization
had gone deep into the hole on the
financial end of the event and that the
feeling of the powers that be there
about was against a revival of the con-
test. Reports had it that the deficit
was $1,000 More conservative western
motorists stated, however, that the
contest would probably be held in 1910
but under vastly different conditions
President Cobe's announcement clears
up the situation, however, and it is
practically certain that next year will
honors in the occidental Vanderbilt
Not a little tall has arisen that next
years race will not be held over the
Indiana raceWay. The reasons for this
are many In the srst place the time
made in the CJbe cup event proved
cOnclusively that the Lowell Crown
Point course is not conducive to getting
out the fastest speed that is in the
modern racing type of mOtOrcars. The
average time, 40 miles an hour, record
ed in the big car event, fell far below
the expectations of the enthusiasts
Moreover, the circuit was none too fast
for the light cars. From the fOregO-
ing it may be realized that probably
another course will be chosen for the
1910 running of the vests automobile
classic.

Interest Was Lackinq.

The promoters of the recent speed
carnival in Indiana are not at fault for
the lack of interest displayed by the
enthusiasts thereabOut. Every fol-
lower of the automobile racing game in
Illinois. Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin
and Michigan is said to have received
three circulars relative to the races
These circulars were issued during the
period of several weeks before the run
ming of the events and told of all
phases of the meeting. Judging from
the Indifferent reports that have been
issued from Chicago, it is evident that
the fires of interest in the race were
kindled but did not burn.
Next year, however, the club will
follow a different plan of campaign
Fasteners who attended the races told
the Chicagoans that a race like tho
Cobe cup event would draw far great

Stanley KetcheH of Michigan is still
the worlds middleweight champion.
In a desperate gruelling battle during
which the champion was constantly
on the aggressive, he was awarded
the decision over Billy Papke of Illi-

the scheduled number. Ketchel
claimed to have broken his right
hand in the sixth round and this as
sertion subsequently was verified. His
left thumb also was dislocated. The
decision Of the referee was greeted
with mixture of cheers and boots.
Referee Roche, after the contest.
made the following statement:
"Ketchel was the aggressor at all
times. Furthermore, he landed the
cleaner and harder punches and scor-
ed the only knock doWn-in the
tenth-although nearly everybody
seems to think that Papke had slipped
to the floor.
There is absolutely no question but
Ketchel earned a clear cut decision"
