TWO MORE CARS FOR
GREAT ROAD RACE

day They are the Pennsylvania and

whose owners have posted the forfeit
money, with still more coming. Press
reports published in Los Angeles pa
pcrs call it the greatest event in the
history of automobile road racing.
The latest cars entered for the race
are powerful machines. with a ca
pacity for tearing off the miles at the
rate of seventyfive for every hour of
the day. They are not alone built for
speed but are specially constructed
for endurance. 1t is the endurance fea-
ture of the course, without doubt the
toughest and most gruelling in the
whole country over which a road race
has ever been run. that appeals to the
manufacturers. who wish to demon
strate the superiority of construction
of their individual cars To make the
run at an average speed of over ten
miles an hour would seem to be suf-
ficient to wreck almost any car; yet
the cars entered will travel over the
course at terrific speed.
Many Of the cars are already trying
out the course, or parts of it. Some
of them have made the run to tie

PROTEST AGAINST

Opposition to 0uashing Indlct-

The Ministers association at Is reg
ular meeting held last night authoriz-
ed the following statement and asks
the publication Of the same in the
daily papers of the city:
1t appears that there is well de-
fined effort being made to set aside, on
purely technical grounds, the fifty odd
indictments which were found by the
last grand jury against yiolators of
the liquor laws of this state, and to
prevent the impartial trial Of the cases
on their merit 1t is earnestly to be
hoped that this effort to quash these
cases will not prevail. TO allow the
guilty to go unpunished on the feeble
plea of mere technicalities would be
10 wound Justice, and to prolong the
calamity of the Illicit sale of liquor on
our otherwise fair community; and If
the parties resting under these indict-
ments are innocent, their innocence
should be made clear after impartial
trial-this is their due, and they should
be allowed a trial We believe that
every citizen who loves home, and the
highest welfare of the community
should make an earnest plea for the
proper enforcement of the liquor law.
and should lodge a strong protest
against defeating the regular course
of fair trial by resort to the very cues
tionable technicalities involved in
these cases. We believe too that,
should these indictments be quashed
on mere technical ground. the validity
of such action should be tested in the

The length Of the Simplon tunnel
from Briga, in Switzerland, TO lselle,
on the Italian side Of the mountain,
is about twelve miles. A very hard
formation Of rock was encountered at
the outset on the Iselle side. After
the boring had been pushed about
two miles powerful cold springs were
met from which poured more than five
hundred gallons of wafer minute
and for a time caused a suspension OF
all work on the Italian side. Hardly
had this difficulty been overcome
when about two hundred feet farther
on a stratum of shifting material
was encountered and further tunnel
ing of about $50 feet required six
months time ana an expenditure OF
100000. Great difficulty was after
ward encountered when hot water be-
gan to pour into the tunnel, causing
