IN 250-N|LE RACE

NO. 13 PROVES A H00D00

ASSOCIATED Press)

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 7.-Traveling
at 72-miles an hour, Joe Horan. driv-
ing a Lozier. won the 25O-miles speed
way grand prize here today, and set
a new American record for the DIS
tance. His time of 8 hours, rs min
utes, 1910 seconds, beats the previous
record of hours, 3S minutes, 81 3-5
seconds. made by Burman in Buick,
at the indianapolis speedway, August
49, 1909, and comes within four min
utes of equaliug the worlds record
for 300 miles, made at Brooklands, Eng.
Horan received $4,000 of the $4,000 prize
offered for the race.
The No. 49, carried by r. j. Church's
Simplex, is held responsible by some
drivers not only for Church's i'll luck,
but also for the many accidents that
befell other cars. AS No. 13 swept up
with the leaders in the first 25 miles,
many of the other cars Immediately
began to suffer from engine troubles,
and had to be stopped at the repair
pits. Then No. 13 blew a tire. This was
followed by popping of tires from the
other entries all around the course.
Finally No. 13 jumped the track on
the 40th mile, and Louis Disbrow's
Pope Hartford broke down at the
same place. and was pushed off the
course through the same hole in the
fence No. 13 had made.
Burman, driving n Marquette Buick,
could not shake off the hoodoo, stop
ping just nine times with tires ripped
off. After his two most dangerous ri
walls, Harroun and Dawson, had quit
the track with engine trouble, Bur-
man began chase after Horan.
With Burman in striking distance,
both stopped with fiat tires, but Bur-
mans helpers, for the second time in
the afternoon, grabbed up the wrong
tire and lost all he had gained. Koran,
meanwhile, drove into safe lead.

LEAGUE MAY DIsBAND

1t is possible that the Convention
league, which was organized a few
months ago for the purpose of securing
conventions for Los Angeles, may be
disbanded on account of lack of in
terest. Almost since it's organization
officers of the league have experienced
difficulties in securing funds with
which to carry on the leagues work,
and unless a great stimulus is forth
coming within a few days 1t will be
abandoned. If such action is taken the
work of the league probably will be
turned over to the chamber of COM
merce as a department of that organ
ization.

indications the meet will be the
best ever. Eastern turfmen are
awakening to the fact that Cali

a near at hand vent for their latent

WASHINGTON, Nov. Fair weather
on election day is prophesied by the
United states weather bureau. so far as
the greater part of the country is con-
cerned.
New York will suffer most, according
to the forecast, for in the northern and
western parts of that state there will
be snow fIurries and tho skies probably
will be overcast. Voters in northern
New England will meet similar condi-
tiOn. There will be no snow in the
northern Pacific states, but the skies
will be overcast, and there probably
will be rain.
In most other parts fair weather will
prevail. although in the upper Missis-

VETS AND DRYS
WILL JOIN HANDS
DR.. Chapman to Work with the
Saloon Keepers in Effort
to Elect FrederiCks

DIR. Erwin S. Chapman, head of the
Anti-Saloon league. the Royal Arch,
an organization of saloonkeepers and
others interested in the liquor busi-
ness, and the Liberal Alliance. which
is in favor of fewer restrictions in the
sale of liquor than the league of which
DR.. Chapman is the head is willing to
concede, will do team work today for
John d. Fredericks, machine candi-
date for district attorney.
This anomalous condition of affairs
the Anti-Saloon league and the saloon
keepers working together for the same
man, does not surprise DR.. Chapman.
Instead he thinks it's all right-and
he said so last night-even though
some members of the league expressed
amazement at the situation.
Also many voters yesterday received
large, four page circular, written by
DR.. Chapman and captioned, Heart to
Heart Talk-Impartial Verdict of a
Large and Able Committee, After
Months of Patient Investigation Into
the Services of District Attorney Fred
ercks."
DR.. Chapman, when asked the names
of the men comprising the large and
able" committee, who had failed to
sign the circular, although the heading
suggested it was a committee report,
said the circular was his own produc-
tion-written and signed by himself.
H added, however, that the senti-
ments were those of the head quarters
committee.

Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-08
GAVE SOME NAMES

Asked to give the names of the men
who were willing to give Fredericks
the sweeping Endorsement he gave, DR..
Chapman offered the following names:
The Rev. Hill w. Walker, the Rev.
A. w. Atkinson, the Rev. Herbert j.
Weaver, the Rev. ]. L. Parks and
James McFadden.
Doesn't the fact tina. the Royal Arch
and the Liberal Alliance are support
ing Fredericks make you suspicious?"
is a question that was .sked DR.. Chap
man last night.
mo SIR" he repli>I. "If my house
were burning 1 would be glad to have
anyone help me put the fire out"
The construction to be put upon this
simile is left to the reader.
The fact that remains is that the
head of the Anti-Saloon league, an or
ganization that is fighting saloons; the
Roy; Arch, an organization that is
fighting the league, and the Liberal
Alliance, whose interests lie with the
Royal Arch rather than with the
league, will work together today for
Fredericks.
That Fredericks is ambidextrous is
not denied. Apparently he has glad
handed" to some purpose in these an
tagonistic organizations.
Wherefore DR.. Chapman has white
washed Fredericks until he is too
white to look natural.

The president would make no COM

Several times of late to those who

the state board OF railroad commits

OF the railroads in charging for the
transportation of all horses to and
from county fairs at the rate of 5000
pounds per animal. Mr.. Jewett claims
that in most cases the horses shipped
weigh much less than 5000 pounds
and therefore the shipper is paying for
pounds of freight that he does not
ship.

railroads is that the value of the ami

TO FILL UP THIS HOLE.
City to Do Away With Cistern at
Eighth and Kansas Ave.

1T was decided by the city commits
sioners this morning to do away with
the old fire cistern at the corner of
Eighth and Kansas avenue. Super
intendents Patten of the Topeka Rail
way com pany came before the COM
mission and delivered an "oration" on
the ACCESSIBILITY OF this move and to-
gether with their former ideas on the
matter, it was decided to fill up the
hole at once.
superintendent Patten told the
commissioners that he would place
big gang of men on excavation for
double track. work in the southwestern
part of the city and the dirt would be
hauled down town and dumped in this
cistern at a cost OF nothing to the
city. This was accepted with thanks
by the commissioners and Mr.. Patten
has placed his gang to work. 1t is
expected that the work will be finish
ed in g short time.
The pile of rocks and dirt at this
important corner ha5 aroused the
commissioners to action. Plans for
a new fire cistern have not been made
and probably there will never be an
other cistern built here. The city COM
