One of the requirements I'm New
Yorks new motor car law, Is that all
chauneury must answer n list OF ques-
tions promulgated by the state. Re-
Gently As applications were forwarded
to Albany from Buffalo for men in the
employ OF the Pierce Arrow Motor Car
Co. Some remarkable mileage has
haan nilad hV the Ak THAR
total mileage is given in the applica-

average of 43.177 miles each. Seven
OF them have driven 100000 miles or
over and two. both long time members
OF the testing brigade. have piloted
cars moro than 900 miles.
Tires stand Up Well
Isolated cases OF extreme tire mile
age are plentiful. but instances where
long service comes in punches" are
rare and show a due regard for the
care and proper imitation OF tires. A
tire company that has been actively
urging sufficient air pressure has just
received an unsolicited letter from one
OF their customers. The Rockville (O)

formation on this subject and adding

The route of the 1910 tour carried the

some of the worst roads on the con-
tinent. No car finished the tour with
a perfect score. and no car would have
finished at ali except for some very

charged against him.
Billy Sullivan, the veteran catcne,'
was behind the plate again Tor Chr
cago. In the ninth inning Cobb singled
again and stole second. Sullivan
threw the ball into center field and
Cobb attempted to score on the wild
heave. Zeider, however, pursued the
hall and nipped Cobb at the plate on
an extremely close play.
Three of the White Sox attempted
to steal on Charley Schmidt and were
nipped at second with some room TO
spare. This gave the Sox only two
men left on bases. The summary OF
this contest Is without doubt the
briefest of the season. II consists OF
five printed lines, which, In compari-
son with the usual summary, looks
mighty little.
1t is likely that Stroud will work

Good Joke on Navin.

Friends of Pres. Frank Navin are
enjoying a good laugh at the expense
of the Tiger magnate. Navin con.
ceived the happy idea OF killing two
birds with one stone. Therefore, he
took the boat to Buffalo Friday night
to enjoy the cool lake hreezes. He
intended visiting the Fort Erie races
Saturday. When he was halfway
down the river word was received
here that the Fort Erie meeting was
of. The magnate got the cool
breezes, all right, and that was about
all.

he missed that honor by one
lone bingle. When Dougherty
drove out his hit Summers flg-
ured that Bush would get the
ball, but II rolled out Of Owens
way. Summers had about an
even chance OF fielding the ball
himself. "Of course, I'd like to
have a no-hit game all right"
Summers said, ''but Detroit

FORT ERIE MEETING POSTPONED
Makes Track Without Means
Transporting Spectators.

BUFFALO. July 30.-The seven-day
race meeting which was TO have
opened today at the Fort Erie race
track, In the line OF the Canadian cir
cult, has been Indefinitely postponed.
The strike on the Grand Trunk rail-
road Is directly responsible.
The track depends on the Grand
Trunk to transport its people from
Buffalo and return and also bring
down the heavy daily excursion from
Toronto and Hamilton.
Friday the Niagara, Racing associa-
ton was notified that as the railroad
did not see protection for its system
at Bridgeburg. Ont, the village in
which the track is located, 1t would
not run the trains. This meant that
the track would be Isolated, excepting
for a very inefficient bus and ferry
service. Consequently It was decided
to postpone the meeting.

in 2:04 IA, the fastest heat OF the
year. In the second heat he went in
2:O5 Ia, which is q new record for
him. The third heat was In 2:05 1-2.
The three fastest heats previously
were the 2:05, 2:06 and 2:04 "a of
Hamburg Belle at Hartford two years

The fastest three heats previously
where the heats were divided, as they
were today between two horses, was
at Columbus. where Mainsheet won
two and Gro one IN 2:05 Ia. z.05 3-4
and 1905 IA. The three heats yester-
day were faster than in either OF
these races and old Country Jay is
entitled to all the glory.

very ordinary lot, put up a surprising
good five-heat battle, in which Earl
yr. paced the second heat in 2:05 LIZ.
and Peter Pan the fourth in 2:O6 3-4.

A. P. DOE IS DEAD
Davenport Banker Expires at
Hospital After Long Illness
of Heart Trouble.
So YEARS A MERCHANT
Charter Member of Four Financial
InstitutiOns-Devot Much La
Dor to Orphans Home.

One OF the most brilliant careers
ever watched in the city of Davenport
came to an end Saturday night when
A. P. Doe, president Of the Iowa Ma
tional bank, died after a prolonged
illness from heart trouble.
Mr.. Does death was not unexpect-
ed. He had been unconscious for
several days preceding.
Mr.. Doe was born in Windham,
Me-, March 81, 1897, coming from
a family of English origin. During
his early youth he lived in the Pine
Tree state, receiving his early edu-
cation in the public schools. It was
when he was 20 years of age that
he first heard of the west and its OPP
portunities for young men. He
came direct to Davenport where he
became identified with the business
interests OF the city as a wholesale
shoe merchant.
Progressive Merchants.
Mr.. Doe was one of the most pro-
gressive and energetic Davenport
merchants for 35 years, having built
sale shoe business in the city. His
careful management resulted in con-
tinual development of the business
along substantial lines until the
trade Of the house was represented
by large figure annually.
In the year 1901 Mr.. Doe decided
to leave the field of active business
life. In the meantime he had be-
come closely associated with the fin
ancial interests of the Iowa National
bank, of which he was one of the or
ganizers and of which he was vice
president until 1901. The stockhold-
ers of the bank recognized his abil-
ity as financier, and in that year
elected him as their president. He
continued in that position until his
death.
Mr.. Doe was charter member of
four Davenport banking institutions.
the Citizens National bank, tho Scott
County Savings bank, the Iowa Ma
tional bank and the Home Savings
bank, this being the order of his as
sociation with the respective institu-
tions. The Citizens National bank
has since become merged into the
German Savings bank.
Works For Orphans Home.
Probably the most striking feature
of his interests In public works was
his love for the work of the orphans
home, to which he devoted much of
his time and business ability. For
10 years he served as president of
the board of trustees Of that institu-
ton, which he was instrumental in
establishing. Owing in a large meas
ure to his efforts the matter of organ
izing the home was brought up be-
fore the legislature and from the time
of it's inception until his death he
was one of the most active factors in
it's upbuilding.
He was a prominent member of
the Masonic fraternity.
His marriage to Miss Julia M. Bry-
ant of Windsor, Maine, was celebrat-
ed in 1864, and she precedes him in
death, having passed away in March,
1905. One daughter, Mrs. Alice M.
Butterfield of Norfolk, Neb., lives to
mourn his death.

CLIFFORD IN NEW COMEDY.

One of the bright attraction book
ed for the Illinois theatre will be
seen next Thursday evening. This
is the new farce with music and Choir
uses, entitled 1.-THE Girl, the Man and
the Came" in which Billy (Single)
Clifford is starring. The piece is
brand new, and is down to the very
minute In style. The plot is compli-
Gated, and full of funny situations.
A dozen pretty songs of the whistle
able variety are also features Of the
entertainment, and the chorus is
said to be one of the sprightliest and
best dressed of any on the stage this
season. Mr.. Clifford is well known
from coast to coast. He has gained
an enviable place on the vaudeville
stage, and last season he won big
personal triumph when he went star
ring in the musical comedy, "The
Girl at the Helm This season a
new play was written for him, and
the chief role was written to fit him
perfectly. In it he is seen as roll
licking young fellow, care free and
full OF life and spirits. He gets into
all sorts of odd and funny predica-
ments, but manages to extricate him
self from them, all much to the
amusement of those who look on. The
piece is bright, refreshing and full
of life and ginger, and the company
supporting the star is exceptionally
well balanced. Much care was TAX
en- in the selection of the chorus, with
the result that a score of beautiful
young women are seen in songs and
dances.
