Seattle, Wash. In the most Cruel
ling race of dog teams Alaska ever
has known, the plucky malamutes,
owned by AL. Berger, carried of first
and second honors in the All-Alaska
sweepstakes for $11 900, and annexed
in addition the Suter Gold Cup. The
race was from Nome to Candle, dis
lance of 412 miles, and much OF 1t
was run under conditions as put the
animals to a bitter test of strength
and endurance.
No American Derby ever enlisted
in the United States keener pop
ular interest than this flight of dogs
across the stretch of country between
the starting and finishing points.
From the time the racers were sent
away on their exacting. contest bust
ness at Nome was practically at a
standstill.
The focal points for the townspeo-
pie were at the stands of the book
makers. At these thousands of dol
lars were wagered on the result, the
biggest single bet having been placed
on a Siberian team. A pool OF an
even $500, 900 was put UP that these
animals would score victory. One
wager of $4,000 was made that the
race would not be finished within
ninety hours. This bet was lost, the
time of the winners being eighty-two
hours and ten minutes.
All Nome watched the start of the
race. The dogs got away in 8 blind
ing snowstorm. Thermometers were
registering fifteen degrees below zero.

New York City.-There is no mis-
take about it this time; public indig-
nation against the "scorcher" and
the joy rider" is thoroughly aroused
and they are going to be vigorously
dealt with
The newly formed Highways Pro-
tective Association and the Automo-
bile Club of America, representing
sane and responsible owners and
drivers of automobiles, are prepared
to aid in prosecuting offenders They
are resolved to demand infection of
the severest penalties, and the magis-
trates and judges seem to be inn
pressed with the necessity for vigor-
GUS action.
So much for the offenders when
caught, and the arrangements for
catching them are more widespread
and complete than ever before. AS a
result of the organization of the spe-
cial squad of policemen mounted on
bicycles, motor wheels and some In
automobiles scores of offenders are
being arraigned before the magis-
trates and in the courts.
Owners of automobiles are warned
In the address by Judge Swami to the
Grand Jury in the General Sessions,
telling them that the owner of a car
who employs a driver known to be
reckless should be found equally
guilty with the latter for any crime
committed through carelessness or
overspeeding. In short, there is a
general awakening to the demands OF
the situation and to the serious re-
sponsibility that rests upon those who
drive automobiles, more particularly
through a city's streets.
Where the driver instead of stop
ping and caring for an injured per-
son claps on speed and runs away the
presumption is that he is guilty, and
by making sharp discrimination on
these lines this heartless practice can
! be stopped.
The community in general and the
prudent and responsible owners OF
automobiles, who are taking an active
part in the present crusade, are to be
congratulated upon the prospect OF
| successful issue.

WAR ON RECKLESS DRIVERS OF AUTOMOBILES
Judge his Charge the Grand Jurors Expresses Belief That the SOrCh
ers' and "JOy Riders Have Found New Method OF Com
mttDQ the Old Crime Of MdnSaughteF.

"a new method of committing old
crimes" He said:
within the last month many
crimes have been committed by men
possessed of the speed mania. They
run down women and children on our
streets Women and children and
the infirm and the aged are entitled
to the use of the streets as much as
the strong. No man has an exclusive
right to the streets. Even the man
who deyotes his time to speeding this
modern engine has no more right to
the public street than the weak and
infirm.
Men who do these acts recklessly
and without regard to the rights of
others, and who either MAIN or kill,
are guilty of either manslaughter or
other grades of crime, and it seems
to me that it would be a proper and
fitting thing that, if such case>comes
before you, you should not hesitate
to indict if the evidence warrants it;
and that you should not hesitate to
indict for the crime of manslaughter
if YOU think that that crime has been
committed.
This is just about the time, it
seems to me, for the Grand Jury OF
this county to call halt on such ex-
IRENE selfishness as is evidenced by
those possessed by the abominable
speed mania.
ut is further provided by Section
29 of the penal laws that man who
aids and abets in the commission OF
crime is equally guilty with the man
who commits the crime. The owner
of an automobile will sometimes take
deliberately chauffeur who has
been known to be reckless in his
driving. The minute that the owner
of the automobile puts such a chauf-
feur upon his machine in the public
streets the law presumes that the
owner knows the ordinary act that
/ the chauffeur is going to commit A
man is presumed to intend the ordi-
nary and usual results of his own
acts, and the owner who puts a reck-
less chauffeur in an automobile and
sends him through the streets could
be properly found by you to be equal
ly guilty with the chauffeur of the
crime, whatever it may be, that may
reasonably be expected to be COM
mitted by that chauffeur.

Sorrento, Italy-F. Marion Craw-

F. Marion Crawford was one of the

Hobson's Choice.

The expression "Hobson's Choice"
is proverbial everywhere, and owes
it's origin to Thomas Hobson, who
was celebrated carrier at Cam
bridge.
Hobson used to supply the under
graduates with riding and driving
horses, but he made an unalterable
rule that every horse should have an
equal portion of time to rest as we'll
as work, and he always refused to let
a horse out of his turn. Hence the
