Rutt and Clark Winners.

New York.-Walter Rutt Of Germany
and Jack" Clark Of Australia won the
annual six-day bicycle race at Madison
Square garden from an exhausted and
hopeless field. Their distance Of 26601
miles for 142 hours, which is 70 miles
behind the record Of 2737.1 miles, made
last year by Mcfarland and Moran,
gives no adequate idea Of a race which,
for broken records, broken presidents
and broken teams, has been the most
exciting ever seen at the gardens.

between the two winners that followed
the race proper Rutt defeated his part
ner, Clark, by six inches, although Clark
if rated the speediest short distance man
Ia the world barring Frank Kramer,
the champion. The men divided first

The run of IL at three-cushion bill
lizards made by George Chilson at Jack
Bowle's parlors in Portland the other
day has started a lot of reminiscing
among oldtime players here.
Investigation reveals that the pub
lished list of 26 deaths purported to
have resulted from football during the
season of 1909 can not be accepted as
correct, that the list is fagrantly
swelled and padded solely for sensa-
tionalism and that deaths of football
players that have resulted from causes
foreign to football are unjustly charged
up against violence of the game under
the 1909 rules.
Jack Beymer, the little Tacoma high
school quarterback, who was so criti-

Correspondence to New York from

reading public here has found vast
amusement in press clippings from
America dealing with the game-killing
experiences of Colonel Roosevelt. While
recognizing the proves of the former
president they are somewhat amazed
at the effect of his achievements upon
the minds of his countrymen, particu-
larry at the incredulity expressed in
some instances toward very ordinary
happenings and the trusting faith in
other cases with which some really
outrageous yarns are accepted.
They smile at Americans receiving
with skepticism the fact that Colonel
Roosevelt has been charged by hip

President of Nicaragua Wants Prisoners

ments Thrown Up to Prevent Invasion

Revolutionists Are Sanguine.

Bluefelds, Nicaragua, Dec. 13.-It is
learned from an authoritative source
that reign of terror is being main
tanned in Managua and that not less
than 500 persons identified with politics
are in chains in the prisons.
Catholic society has been ordered
to cease sending food to the prisoners,
and these may starve to death, as they
are allowed only 2 cents day for food.
Corporal punishment is meted out daily
to various alleged offenders.
Zelaya, TO create an impression that
the sentiment of the people in Mangua
is hostile to America and Americans,
recently ordered Amelio Estrada, a
prominent liberal and brother of the
revolutionist' Is chief, to organize a dem
onstration against the United States,
but this he refused TO do and Zelaya
had him arrested on a fictitious charge.
1t is said DIR. Julian Irias, minister
general, who has many adherents at
Econ and Chinandaga, has been making
attempts TO start an uprising in his
favor as Zelaya's successor, but wheth-
er with Zelaya Is consent is not known.
IT is reported also that hias' home has
been surrounded by soldiers.
Further authoritative dispatches state
that 500 Of Zelaya Is forces have been
entrenched TO prevent American marines
from passing over the bridge into
Corinto.

Cooks Value SIumping

After delivering an address at the
Unique theatre, Minneapolis, the Rev.
G. L. Merrill, pastor of the Peoples
church, said that in order to raise some
money for a Christmas poor fund he
would publicly auction an autograph
photograph Of Dr.. Cook, which the ex-
plorer had presented to him when he
was in Minneapolis.
Fifty dollars" cried the amateur
auctioneer. The remark brought forth
jeers and laughter from the audience.
Mr.. Merrill cried out for an offer, and
one weak voice cried out, Two cents.
Going at . cents, . cents bid for
an autograph picture of Dr.. Cook; here
you are, my friend, you are the high
est bidder" and with the exchange Of
two copper pennies the autograph
picture was passed over.-Philadelphia

A three-cornered legal fight is to be
made for the six pots of gold, aggTe-
eating $4,000, found by Contractor
w. J. McLain while excavating for a
new building at Wheeling, w. Va.
McLain, who is in possession, the
Wheeling Stamping Company, owners
of the ground, and the heirs of Dr..
Fred Schuckhadt, the man who is
supposed to have buried the money
before he was murdered, each claim it,
and all have employed counsel. The
heirs-at-law are William, Robert and
George Schnelle, nephews, and Mrs.
Carr, niece. At least score OF
others assert that they are heirs. Old
residents who knew the doctor say he
kept large sums Of money about the
house because of his distrust Of the
banks. Many believe that the six
pots of gold found do not represent all
the buried treasure. The newest Of
the coins is dated 1868.

MAY be Able to See BY Wire

Two Frenchmen have invented an
apparatus for transmitting by wire the
reflected likeness of the persons stand
ing at either end, enabling people
talking over a telephone to see as well
as to hear each other. The inventors
are G. Bignoux and M. Fourier, both
well known for research. The picture
is transmitted by light waves over the
wires, just as sound waves are trans
mitted. Three thousand candle-power
electric light is projected by mirror
on the object to be portrayed. Sixty
four wires are needed for this purpose,
but to have moving pictures 1000
wires will be necessary. The expert
menters say they have succeeded in
transmitting ikenesses and expect their
invention will be in practical working
order in a few months. 1t is even
asserted that it will be possible to
transmit pictures in their natural colors.
