MANY VICTORIES
FOR E. M. F. CARS
Frank Witt Sweeps South
During Season by His
Splendid Driving

Michigan may make the most
motor cars; New York may buy the
most, but Georgia claims the distinc-
tion of being the sportiest state of all,
when it comes to racing them.
Through November the Cracker State
has occupied the center of motordom S
stage Just on account OF this procliv-
ity. Il is a common saying in Atlanta
that a first class race meeting can be
organized there on a days notice The
tiIst question any Georgian asks when
in the market for a car is,not How
long will it last?" or What does it
cost?" He wants to know How fast
will Il gO% And nothing so delights
him as to succeed IN a trial Of speed
la which his opponent halls from
some Northern state.
It's remarkable success on road and
track is very largely c'edited with
the fact that there are qow more than
500 INF 80 cars in Georgia One
Ct these recently gave to the word
a new star race pilot, and in condi-
tious probably unique.

LUMBER DEALERS INSIST
CHARGES ARE EXCESSIVE
Middle West Companies Protest
AGAINST Rate Increase

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Representa-
tives of lumber dealers, associations of
Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri apd
Illinois met here yesterday to formu-
late a protest to be sumbitted to
the interstate commerce commission
against the increase on lumber rates
by the railroads.
In the past the trunk lines in the
southwest have paid a portion of their
through rates to the originating lines,
but recently filed notice of cancella-
tion to become effective September "a.
The lumber dealers believe the can
collation. should not be sanctioned un-
less the trunk lines reduce their
through rates, as pocketing the divi-
sion hitherto made with the originating
lines will be equivalent to an increase
in the average rates.
The lumber dealers say the present
rates on lumber are higher than on
any other commodity, and that an in
crease would be an unjust burden on
the consuming public.

WRITER CONFESSES LAW
VIOLATION OF YEARS AGO
Former Clerk Tells Postoffice De-
partment of Breaking Rules

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-An un-
signed and undated letter was received
today by the postoffice department, in
which the writer confessed to a viola
ton of the law in opening a sealed
letter.
The writer says: "More than twenty
five years ago, when employed as a
clerk in postoffice. I one day made
out money order and after the letter
was sealed and ready to be mailed, |
remembered 1 had not filed out the
blank quite right, and l opened the let
ter and made the proper correction. l
sealed the letter at once and for
warded it by first mail. Although no
harm was done, / really broke the law,
and wish to confess my error.
The postal authorities have no idea
from whom the letter came. TheI eIcom-
munication is unique in the history of
the department. 1t is evident to the
officials that the terror" has been
burning in the mind of the writer of
the letter during all these years. The
penmanship appears to be that. OF a
woman, but that is q mere surnise on
the part of the officials. No action,
of course, will be taken in regard to
the matter.

route from Europe to San Francisco,

ors of unrest among the Japanese in

There is no unrest among he,Japa-
nese in Hawaii, although it is true
many Of them are ex-soldiers. Not a
sign of trouble from this source is to
be found by the Americans, who are
closely observant. 1t is my understands
ing that the four Jaupanese convict
ed for conspiring to stir up labor trou-
BILE were afterward pardoned by the
government, which L. believe was Q
wise and just act"

TO REBUILD MILLS WIPED
OUT BY J0HNST0WN FLOOD
Plans Laid to Resume Industry
Dormant Since 1889

PITTSBURG, Aug. 31.-It developed
in steel circles yesterday that one of
the industries wiped out by the Johns
town flood of 1889 was to be resumed
at once. The intelligence came about
through the placing of contracts for
the construction of new mills on the
site of those destroyed by the flood, a
spot which since has been about the
only scar caused by the flood waters
that is visible.
The property is owned by the Cam
bria iron works, which will resume the
manufacture of wire.
Since the destruction of its plants
the company has developed along the
lines of heavier tonnage. BY force of
necessity to meet increasing demands
for steel in other finished lines the
company allowed the old wire mill to
remain memory of the days before
the flood"

The colonist rates will continue until
September 8. They will be suspended
then for about three weeks, becoming
effective again October 1 and continu-
ing until October 10. The greatest rush
is expected near the end of each period.
Last year the railroads experienced
great difficulty In handling the hun
dreds of home seekers who started west
at the last minute. Each road had to
make up and bring west several special
trains to care for the traffic. The in
dications at this early date are that
conditions will be even worse than last
year. All the equipment that can be
spared by the various roads is being
taken to eastern terminals in prepara-
ton for the record breaking rush which
is expected.
Salt Lake railroad officials figure
that colonists are arriving over their
line at the rate Of two sleepers full a
day, and the average may run above
this mark.
On the Southern Pacific railroad and
the Santa Fe the average Is somewhat
higher With the combined travel on
these two lines and the Salt Lake road,
the average number of homeseekers
arriving in Southern California daily
is close to the 500 mark
The rates now in effect from eastern
points are limited to the territory be-
tween San Jose and San Joaquin for
those coming by way of Los Angeles.

Republican Methods

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.--The Republican
"precinct captain" received his death
blow yesterday when the Republican
county executive committee voted to
abolish the office once and for all
time, in compliance with the provisions
of the new primary law.
Since the primary law went into ef-
feet this is the most revolutionary
step that has yet been taken in carry
ing out it's provisions. UP to the
present time the precinct captain has
been "a power" in ward politics, but
so far as the Cook county Repub-
lican organization is concerned ne
ceases to exist henceforth.
In the future by the amendment 70

publican county executive committee,
the precinct man. to be selected at the
primaries will do the work of the
