 Preparing for a quarter of million visitors is no light task for city Ike Savannah As is the case with any clty where such a huge crowd eongregates tor a couple of days, individuals obviously cannot receive the attention that Savan- nians would desire to show them unoer normal circumstances.

The hospitality will be there, but the problem that is keeping the committees busy IS how to provide food and shelter in the best style possible.
 Plans are being rapidly perfected, how ever, so that the race promoters believe stbere will be none departing from Savan- nah with anything but praise for the way the city and it's people treated them.

Ward plunged in great style and was won der on defense.
 All the line was fine, particularly Faul- kenberry and Juhan. Gillems bunting was a distinct feature. He seldom fell short of 40 yards, and the majority of his boots travelled from 50 to 70 yards. For Georgia, McWhorter, Woodruff, Hay and Maddox played the best game. although the whole team put up fine work Each

 SECOND GRAND PRIZE EVENT

R. L. Morrell, chairman of the contest committee, said:
 "The circuit will be too fast for some of the cars. By that I mean the cars will have chance to show what is in them Every driver can let his car out to the full speed limit. The hard part about racing, 1 find, is to hold a car back when the course is not fast. The Savannah course is a dream and rec ords are bound to be hung up
 The entire circuit will be patrolled by militia under the command of Col. M. J. OLeary of the First infantry of the National Guard of Georgia. Special trains and boats will be run from all points for the races.

Rurman,e Jonah Day

~
 Atlanta November 5.-As the result of two accidents on November 19, in suc- cessive years, Bob Burman, one of the best known of the racing automobile drivers in the business, considers that hls '.Jonah Day. and this year he says 1t is the Tdowny couch for him for the whole 24 hours when November 19 rolls round
 The first accident happened in Savail- nah in 1908, where he hit tree while on practice run as result or Whicn lis mechanician was injured seriously. The other accident was at San Antonio. Tex, in 1909, where he spilled his car all over two-acre lot, and they picked it up in bushel baskets. Burman was bruised and scratched in both instances, but escaped serious injury.
 So "Wild Bob thus delivered himself to a number of friends at the race track here: 4kt
 q am going to bed all day on Novem- her 19 Not a peep at the daylight Tor mine, and between those sheets I'll stay until the midnight hour, when l might venture out for a few minutes. Driving a race on November 19 is out of the question for me, and if they had set the grand prize at Savannah for November 19, as they first intended, little Robbie would not be there.'

MISERABLE FAILURE WAS

paid expenses. The association is said then to have about broken even.
 Now comes the third, with an evident loss, and the question naturally arises. What does it mean?'''
 Does it signify the end of track racing in the south? For. with Atlanta's failure as an example. would any other conl- munty think of attempting 1t on such a scale?
 The answer to it all seems to be that the public is tired of track racing Au- tomobiles whirring round and round a track are practically all alike and when a person has seen one of these races he has come pretty near seeing them all, Perhaps everyone does not feel that way about it, but that in general is given as the reason for a failing public in- terest.
 It has been noticeably true that there has been far more interest manifested in the road race soon to take place in Savannah than in the track races here; n fact, the interest in the two is scarce ly comparable.
 But from this viewpoint it looks as If track racing is soon to go by the boards; and if there is no more interest in 1t at other points than here. it will soon go by the boards.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Ons Of the

Charles w. Morse, wife of the former
ice king who is now serving term
Of fifteen years in the federal peni-
tentiary at Atlanta.
In addition to assuming the burden
of her husbands still large business
interests, Mrs. Morse is circulating Pc
titions addressed to President Taft
asking for the pardon of the eX-ice
king.
Mr.. Morse's counsel exhausted every
resource known to skilled legal inge-
nuity before giving up as hopeless the
fight to save him from prison, and
nothing remained but an appeal to
executive clemency.
Mrs. Morse has taken up her task
of looking after Mr.. Morse's affairs
in a small, unpretentious office In the
same building in which the financier
engineered some of his shrewd and
most successful deals. In her work
she is ably assisted by Miss Kather-

retary and stenographer to Mr.. Morse.
Despite Mrs. Morses optimistic be-
lief that she will be able to obtain her

LONDON MUSICIAN TRIES
TO WARD OFF LADY LOVE
Russian Countess Said to Have Been
Cause of CancelIins of Engage
nents by Young Pianist

LONDON, Jan. 20.-Wildly enam-
ored of a clever young pianist, Magnus
De Laing, who recently has been full
filling engagements in the West End,
handsome and wealthy woman's
persistent attentions have become so
embarrassing that the musician has
placed the matter in the hands of his
solicitor. In the personal columns of
two daily papers there has appeared
the following advertisement:
will anyone who saw a clean
shaven man pinned against a wall out
side F'rascatfs restaurant by a hand
some and we'll dressed lady on Tues
day, November 80, about midnight,
communicate with Mr.. Biden steele,
solicitor, II st. Martin s-cOurt, West
minster?"
The pianist is only about 90 years Of
age, but he has gained considerable
distinction as player, both in Eng
land and on the continent since he
came to this country from the anti
pOdes. The woman is said to be a
Russian countess, and it is complained
that she has been pursuing the pianist
with unwelcome attentions for months
past. At practically every concert at
which he has performed for some time
past she has occupied a seat in the
front row, and has considerably dis
| turbed him by her conduct.
November 80, after a concert, the
young man and his mother went for
supper to the Frascati restaurant.
They were followed by the enamored
woman, who sat at table near them.
When they left she followed them out,
and in the street seized the pianist
and talked to him in such an excited
manner that considerable crowd as
sembled. The pianist's mother hailed
a taxicab and into this he got and sc
| escaped. subsequently the Russian
| kidnapped Mr.. De Laing as he was
| going to an engagement at the town
| house of a duke in the West End, and

with him to elope.
