FRENCH TO RESUME RACING
FOR AUTO GRAND PRIX

NEW YORK. Nov. 2S6.-American
automobile manufacturers greeted
with pleasure the announcement that
the great French grand prix automo.
bile race would probably be revived.
This race, once the greatest fixture
in the automobile racing game, was
abandoned In 1906 because the manu-
facturers agreed to keep out Of large
car-racing and partly because inter
est had died out.
Now, however, the Automobile Club
de La Sarthe d. Foust, has granted
a sanction for a 600.kilometer race
1872. miles) to be run between May
Is, end July 15. The course will be
run over the celebrated Sarthe cir.
cult, on which the grand prix race
in former years was run.

pENoUNCES DEATH PENALTY.
Letter Written by Late Count Tolstoy
is Made Public.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov Pa let
ter written by the late Count Tolstoy
shortly before he died, and which has
lust been made public here. says the
present effective war against capital
punishment does not need forcing. IL
says in part:
What knowledge need We com.
municate to the deluded human mind
regarding the indispensableness. use
fulness or justice of capital punish
ment may destroy itself?
such knowledge in my opinion Is
this. The knowledge OF what Is
man. what his surrounding world,
what his destiny-hence, what man
can and must do and principally
what he cannot and must not do.
Therefore we should oppose capt.
tai punishment by intoxicating this
knowledge to all men. especially to
hangmen's managers and sympathiz-
ers who wrongfully think they are
maintaining their position thanks only
to capital punishment

BOSTON WOOL.

BOSTON, Nov 26.-The Commercial
Bulletin, says OF the wool market to-
day Wool has been quiet this week,
and the amount OF new business
transacted Is estimated not TO exceed
y, 100000 pounds. AS close TO mil
lion pounds were sold by one firm, 1t
can be seen that the majority OF deal
ers have accomplished little. Small lots
have been selling. and there Is a good
movement in sample bags. The holt
day and the fact that many mills are
taking stock explains in part the slow
ness Of trade. Generally speaking.
mills are we'll covered and await de-
velopments in the goods situation be-
fore committing themselves further
on raw material There is firm tone
To the market. but dealers find 1t as
difficult formerly To raise prices on
actual sales. But with all foreign
markets hardening. It is the opinion
OF most authorities that any change In
the future OF prices must be in an up
ward direction. The shipments of wool
from Boston TO Nov. 2S. inclusive. were
174.83S.346 pounds, against 239. 4o9.4l3
pounds for the same time last year.
The receipts TO Nov. %, inclusive. were

George Stewart, well known among
the habitues OF the underworld, was
shot down In room in the new Globe
hotel, No. 257 2 Jefferson-ave. at $3.50
O'Clock Saturday morning. She Is
dying In st. Mary's hospital.

men were In the room WIN the shoot
ing took place
Considerable mystery surrounds the
affair With her dying breath, the
stricken woman is trying to exonerate
her husban'.
Charlie didn't do IT," she gasped,
when the police questioned her in st.
Nary's hospital.
The sisters and nurses in the hos
pital told her she could not live and
It would be better II she told the truth
about II all. She was asked IL she
had shot herself. She would not tell
!, 1T was an accident" she said.
Besides Moran, the men arrested
are Bert Walker, Daniel Macksey and
Charles Mason.
Shortly before o'clock, Saturday
morning. the attention OF Patrolman
Duzynski was called 10 the Globe ho-
tel by one of the Detroit Ambulance
Co.'S automobiles, standing in front.
The officer entered the place and the
proprietor told him woman had
been shot. He went to the room and
found the Stewart woman sitting on
one side of the bed. The men were
gathered about her. DuzynsN mined
lately placed them under arrest.
Saloonkeeper Charles Moran, whose
Mace is at Chene-st. and Monroe-ave.,

He has been in police court several

forced to retire.
The police are certain that Geor'
gle Stewart did not shoot herself.
This theory is supported by the fact
that the revolver was found hidden
under the bed.
But the woman's lips are sealed.
Detectives, Saturday morning, made
several Intellectual attempts TO get her
to tell connected story OF the shoot
ing.
"What did you lock Charlie up
for?" she asked. "He had nothing
to de- with it,"
Further than an attempt To shield
Moran, the woman will say nothing.
She has sunk into unconsciousnessand
the police have no hope of getting
an ante-mortem statement from her.
