EXCITING 2O0-hILE RACE AT ATLANTA
Joe Dawson Drives His Marmon in
 2:51:12.73-Other Races.

Atlanta, Nov. 4.-Joe Dawson's Mar mon was just 1-5 second ahead of Mulford's big white Lozier at the fin ish of the 20O-mile race.
 A duel between the two began imme- diately after the tooth miles, Dawson running faster. but on the bad turn of the track, where two drivers have been killed, Mulford with full speed on would shoot ahead of Dawson, who always played the corner safe. Dawson waited until there was less than twenty miles to go, and then showed his car along side the Lozier. MulfOrd played the turns desperately for the next few turns of the course and they went into the last twO-mile lap with but a few inches separating the noses of the cars. As they struck the dangerous turn for the last lap, it was Dawson that took it at the highest speed. shooting into the lead which he held to the finish. Time, 2 hours, 51 minutes, 12.73 second.
 The winner took the Atlanta trophy of $1,000 in cash; MulfOrd received $500
 New track records were set by the E. M. F. at ten miles. and the Mar quette- Buick at twenty miles.

JUOGE DOES APPEAL
 FOR \ NEW STATE ADDRESS TO MEMBERS OF CON- STITUTIONAL CONVENTION. Urging Them to Halt Even in the
 Eleventh Hour.

Judge Edward M. Doe, delegate in the constitutional convention from Co., conino county. made a strong appeal for statehood. It was brief and calcu- lated to move those who care more for the admission of Arizona than for the inclusion of pet theories in a con- stitution which can never be more than waste paper. Judge Doe said:
 The initiative and referendum are neither copyrighted nor created by any political party. but without regard to party lines 1t has been demonstrated that the people of this territory favor them to the extent of demanding their embodiment in the constitution, even though not in accord with the views of the president and of congress, under the belief that the president and con gress would. not dare disapprove a constitution solely by reason of its embodying such popular provisions. It was under such conditions and by req son of such belief that majority of the members of this convention were instructed in favor of those measures.
 During the recent campaign, at least 99 per cent of the voters were unaware of the probable uneonstItutionality of these measures. There can be no doubt that the overwhelming majority of the people of this territory want statehood, and cannot but believe, that If made aware of the situation as it exists, they would release instructed delegates from their instructions In that regard.
 In the campaign which resulted in our selection as delegates the people of the several counties passed upon the desirability and the advisability of pro- viding for the initiative and referendum in the constitution. The determination of the validity of these measures and the duty Of preparing constitution which shall be in accord with the con- stitution of the United States and com ply with the requirements of the en- abling act, devolye upon us. I fancy that many of us were not fully advised ourselves, upon this phase of the ques- tion until since the close of the cam paign, and to those of you who as now advised believe these measures uncon- stitutional I venture to suggest that you communicate to your constituents the information you now have and ask whether In the light of such informa- tion they still desire you to act upon your existing instructions.
 That provision of the constitution substitute proposition reading:
 Section 1-The legislative authority of the state shall be vested in a legis- lature, consisting of a senate and a house of representatives. but the peo- pie reserve the power to propose laws and amendments to the constitution and to enact or reject the same at the polls, independently of the legislature; and they also reserve for use at their own option the power to approve or re- ject at the polls any act, or item, sec tion or part of any act, of the legisla- ture"

LAW SUBSERVIEhT
 TG HUMAN SYMPATHY MORAL CRIMES AGAINST A GIRL TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. Guilty of MansIaughter, Her Victim
 Declares Her Innocence.

San Francisco, Nov. 4.-Despite the dramatic protests of the dead mans relatives. Fife Wilson, Is years old, Q Texas girl who stands self-accused of the killing of Guido Varsi, will not be visited with the laws vengeance. Var si brought the girl from her San An tonic home to the night life of this city and she shot him in anger. She will go back to her mother in the Texas town. watched over by philanthropic woman of this city, and with the girl in her mothers keeping the state of California is satisfied The murder charge against her name will be erased from the books.
 Varsi, after the shooting, reused him self to declare the girl innocent, and died with the words on his lips. The misery of the girls plight, told by the press, awoke the pity of several wom- en of the city. among them Mrs. Sea- ton, the widow of a former judge.
 When Police Judge Conlan heard the story, Mrs. Seaton and other women begged that he show clemency. They said the girl was a victim of the white plague. Judge Conlan released her to their custody without bond. At a pre- liminary hearing today. it was decided that the girl should go back to her mother accompanied by Mrs. Seaton.
 Tn the name of the law I arrest this girl for murder" exclaimed the attor- ney for Varsi's relatives. COnlan se- verely rebuked him and directed Mrs. Seaton to assume custody of the pris- oner. The attorney secured a new war rant. but no judge would sign 1t, nor an officer serve it, and the girl goes back home, despite his utmost efforts to prevent it.

UNIONS ARE UNYIELDIAG
They Gain One Victory in a Ruling by the Mayor Renewal of Threat to Make Strike Nation Wide
 If Demands Are Not Met.

New York, Nov. 4.-The striking employees of the six express comma nies indirectly received assurance from the state board of mediators to- day that their grievances would be favorably listened to, if they would consent to forego their cardinal de- mand for recognition of their union. At a mass meeting tonight the men resolved to stay out until the union is recognized
 Their action was the one positive development of the day. The only act taken by the mayor was to up- hold the city ordinance requiring that all express drivers must be licensed by the city. a requirement. that bars the employment of strike breakers.
 The companies in @ statement is sued tonight retorted that 'the larger number of the wagons, and in the case of some of the companies, all of the wagons. are engaged in interstate commerce, and as such are not sub ject to local regulations in regard to license"
 'The situation seems more serious than for the last two days" said Wil- liam c. Rogers. of the state board of mediation tonight. but we are not without hope of a speedy settlement"
 Daniel J. Toby. president of the brotherhood, intimated rather than threatened that if matters did not soon clear" he might recommend a general strike of all the teamsters of the country.
 My recommendations are usually made by the board" he added. ''In the event of such a call 17O,OOO men would walk out"

PROCESSION OF EVENTS.
More or Less Chronological Account
 of the Affair.

The convention, after assembling, feverishly hurried into the committee of the whole for the main business of the session.
 There was a congestion of initiative and referendum legislation-the orig final proposition of Judge Baker, the legislative committees substitute, and the Cunniff, Coker and Webb amend ments, as well as the later proposition of Judge Baker, which had been put in the form of an amendment.
 There was some delay in getting all these measures strung out" when the amendments were taken up in the order in which they appeared in the legislative committees report.
 The Cunniff amendment, which was proposed as substitute for paragraph of the committees proposition, ex- tending direct legislation to cities. towns and counties, was taken up. The proposed substitute provided for such

RosENHEIMER ACQUITTED.
Charge Had Been Reduced to Second
 Degree MansIaughter.

New York, Nov. 4.-After only thir- ty minutes deliberation, the jury ac- quilted Edward T. ROsenheimer of criminal negligence in causing the death of Miss Grace Hough by running down in his automobile the buggy in which she was riding. The case had been followed with close attention be- cause of the wealth of the defendant, and the attempt of the state to convict him of murder.
 After reviewing the evidence, how ever, Justice O'GOrman withdrew from the consideration of the jury the charge of murder and submitted only the issue of second degree manslaugh- ter. ROsenheimer's young wife became hysterical with joy.

The direct legislation proposition. to which four-fift of the members of the constitutional convention are pledged. is on the brink of adoption. It will be pushed over today. It moved slowly toward it yesterday, for the whole day was consumed in the consideration of the proposition. Half the time was devoted to brush ing aside the various amendments to the legislative committees substitute for Judge Bakers original proposi ton.
 There was not the expected strug- gle over the percentages required for the initiative and referendum, which would be an important matter if there was a probability that the system itself would be put into oper ation. But there was a sinful waste of oratory and time over the differ ences among the various amendments and propositions which were not real differences at all.
 The fight ragged the hottest over the question of extending direct legisla ton to the counties when 1t was made clear that there was no legislation
  counties without the authorization of the legislature; that the people could do only what the supervisors can now do.
 The voting at various stages was more or less puzzling. indicating that a great majority of the members did not care which proposition or amend mert was finally agreed upon. But Nf Nkal democratic members last Wednesday night had resulted in a specialization of force about the committees sub- stitute, which possessed no advantage over any other measure presented for consideration. Though a final vote on it was not reached, all the others had been defeated.
 Nine of the republican members voted in the negative on every vote. Two. Messrs. Langdon and Curtis, now and then manifested a choice between measures.
 Fixing the Percentage.
 It was agreed that the percentage of voters required to initiate legis- lation should be ten, and to cause legislation to be referred, per cent. Judge Baker pleaded earnestly for only an eight per cent. requirement for the initiative, and raised the buga- boo of the Southern Pacific and other powerful corporations without avail. Nor was he effective when he in formed the committee that an 8 per cent. requirement. in sparsely settled Arizona was equivalent to Is per cent. in Oregon, California and Col orado curious thing about most of the propositions was this expres- sion: Not more than - per cent. shall be required etc" From which it might be argued, any less than such per cent would be sufficient.
 The Republican Protest.
 The feature of the day was the re- publican protest at the close against the direct legislation project in any form. An address by MT. Kingan of Pima was a constitutional objection, concluding with the firm belief that the congress and the president would not and could not approve an Arizona constitution including that feature.
 Judge Doe, in a brief address, urged the convention to halt at this late day and avert certain disaster to Arizona.
 The committee of the whole this morning will resume consideration of the substitute, now in its last stage, and will recommend its adoption To- night will close down upon 1t as a finished part of the constitution.

SCARED BY A lUNATIC.
A Philadelphia Office Force Fright
 ened With a Popgun.

Philadelphia, Nov. 4.-Harry Clark, a demented man of 55, created great excitement in the city hall late today when in the presence of Director of Public Safety Clay. he drew a baby revolver of the smallest caliber and fired two shots.
 The attaches of the office, believing the chief had been shot, rushed at the man and overpowered him. An ex- animation showed that the tiny re- vOlver contained blank cartridges and the director escaped with a fright. Clark was sent later to the Philadel- phia hospital for the insane.
