New York, Oct. Three men were
killed at least two others fatally in

sustained lesser injuries during the
most spectacular and disastrous auto.
mobile races which have ever been
run over the Vanderbilt Cup Course.
Long Island. Fully a quarter mil.
lion of persons and thousands Of au.
tomobiles lined the thirteen mile
course over which the three great con.
tests. comprising an unusually large
number of entrants were under way
simultaneously.
Harry f. Grant in the "Alco" car
won the Vanderbilt cup. covering the
278 miles in four hours, 1fteen min
utes and ffty-eight seconds. The Mar
mon car Dawson" finished second
National car "Aitken" third. In the
eleventh lap Dawson averaged 1874
miles an hour. new record. ]. F.
Gelnow in the Fal car. won the Wheat
ley Hills sweepstakes. Bill Endicott
in . Cole-30, won the MassapeQua
sweepstakes.
The first fatalities occurred during
the first half hour when the Colum
bia car swerved from the track and
crashed into a telephone pole, MAIN

ician. Billy Bacon. died on the way to
the hospital Stones leg will be am

Driver Chevrolet Of the Marquette
Buick car struck q touring machine
containing spectators near the edge
of the track. His mechanician. Chas
Miller was killed. The car driven by
Ferdinand Ziuba. New York manager
for the Pope-Hartford Automobile Co.
containing his wife and hve Other
spectators collided with q pole. killing
Ziuba and seriously injuring his wife
Among those probably fatally hurt are
Thomas Miller and Henry Hagendorn
spectators.
It was estimated that nearly 800,
900 people lined the course at the
start. The cars with even numbers
occupied one side of the starting
point and those with odd numbers the
other.
The chief trouble with the contest
ants was with the crowds that lined
the course. The turns at Massapequa
Hicksville and Westbury were hare
propositions and so were the bridges
and ruts. but worst of all was the
crowds that showed up to the danger
zone and were kept from the course
itself only by the strenuous efforts q
detectives and special officers.
Heavy clouds hung low and little
rain fell at intervals. but the more
than twelve miles of humanity mass
ed about the twisting circuit, refused
to have its spirits dampened and q
continuous roar of applause followed
the flying dust in which hidden ma
chimes were going over the course.
The original plan Of starting tn,
cars fifteen seconds apart was adher
ed to and 1t required ~ minutes t.
get them all under way.

PRESERVING THE DECLARATION

II Is Cared for with Much Rever-
ence Mt the Nations Capital.
There is so much reverence for the
document on which the So signers of
the immortal Declaration of Independ-
ence inscribed their names that It is
no wonder 1t Is preserved at the ma
tional capital with the utmost care.
1t Is In the state department building
that the document Is kept, and a safe
specially constructed for its preserva
tion in as good condition as possible is
Its home. The guardianship of the
revered document Is intrusted to an Of
fetal of the department named viii
liam H. McNeer.
The parchment with the original sig
natures was deposited with the depart
ment OF state when the government
was organized in 1889. In 1928 John
Quincy Adams had copperplate foe
smile made to give copies to the sign
ers and their heirs. The original was
injured In this way. the wet sheet
pressed on the face drawing out the
Ink so that the names of the signers
have become illegible and the text
partially so. In recent years It has
been kept sealed up In a steel case.
and the greatest care has been taken
to prevent Its coming TO any harm.
One OF the results OF the preserva-
ton of interest In the Declaration of
Independence is the formation of a
society composed Of descendants of

Oh. say, do you still feel undauntsd and

Or has your glad ardor forever depart

signers of this immortal document
The most important meeting In the
history Of this organization was that
held at Washington last April, when
the descendants of the patriots Of 70
visited the state department and gazed
upon the charter of liberty there
guarded with SO much jealousy and
even reverence. The first reunion Of
the signers was held at the James
town exposition In 1907 as part Of tho
celebration of Independence day by
the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Asso-
citation OF the United States.
The primary objects OF the organi.
cation are for the purpose OF aiding
in the preservation of historical rec
ords, to help educate the people In loys
and patriotism for country, to appro-
priately mark and protect the last
resting places of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence. to col
lect and publish instructive material
regarding the life and works Of all the
signers of the Declaration of hide
pendence and for other patriotic pnr.
poses"
The membership OF the Descendants
OF the Signers is now up into the hun
dreds. with descendants OF nearly
every one OF the 46 OF the signers
Of the Declaration OF Independence
who left descendants. Nine OF the sign
ers died without Issue, several never
marrying. There are members OF the
organization In Switzerland. France.
England and Hungary, with most OF
the states represented. Thus far
Pennsylvania seems to have taken the
more active interest in the movement,
although others give good promise II
is estimated that there are several
thousand persons. including the chill
dren, who are eligible to membership.

DUTY ON LEMONS EvApEp.
Investigation of Complaint From Cal
ifornia Is Ordered.

Investigation of Complaint From CAL
ifornia Is Ordered.
New York-Three special customs
officers from Washington are spending
the sultry month of June in quiet wa
terfront observations at the docks in
Manhattan and Brooklyn at which
Sicilian lemons are unloaded. The
purpose Of their visit is to investigate
reports that lemon importers are not
paying the full duties on the fruit
which they import
The duty amounts to ~ cents a
pound, but the government gives a re-
bate for the proportion of the fruit on
each shipment that is deemed unfit for
consumption and which the importers
are supposed to destroy. The investi-
gators have been trying to learn
whether the estimate of decayed fruit
is overestimated when the duties are
collected The proportion Of decayed
fruit has been unusually large of late,
according to the customs returns. On
many shipments from 20 to 80 per cent
of the cargoes have been reported as
unfit and rebates to that extent have
been given the importers.
The importers say that the increased
proportion of decayed lemons from
Sicily is due to unfavorable weather
affecting the crop in Sicily. They say
that jealous California lemon growers
made the complaints which were the
immediate cause Of the inquiry. The
California growers, it is said, are try
ing to put an end to the giving of re-
bates. If this could he done they
would then put up the price of lemons.

were injured, two perhaps fatally, in a
rear-end collision on the Wabash rail-
road near Percy, at $3.50 o'clock to-
