TEN Per CENT OF AUTO
CUP RACERS ARR dad

OF the men who started i'm the Van
derbilt cup race, 10 per cent have
since died as a result of injuries re-
ceived in auto racing. II won't be
long at this rate before all the men
who tore around Long Island will be
numbered among those who gave up
their lives and were forgotten. If the
army were to lose one-tenth of it's
men in two months campaign, the
world would stand aghast at such a
frightful mortality.
De Hymel, the Aztec Indian who
went east to drive in the Vanderbilt
race, survived the dangers of the Long
Island course only to be dashed to his
death in a race down in San Antonio,
Texas.
Three more automobile racers
two drivers and mechanic-were kill
ed in the grand prize race at Savan-
nah This was the race which was to
have followed the Vanderbilt cup race,
but which was transferred. owing to
the wave of Indignation which followed
the New York event.
At Gutenberg race track, Ralph
De Palmas car ran into the fence.
where, as luck would have it, there
were no spectators. The accident
might have happened where thousands
were standing.

COLD FEET GAVE PITCHER
BLANDING FIRST CHANCE

Chicago. ILL.,, Dec. ia case of
cold feet gave Cred Blanding the
Texas league recruit and former II.
OF Nj. diamond star, his start as n
Nan pitcher last season. Manager Nc
CURE counted two games lost before
they started and selected Blanding to
take the beatings, but the youngster
turned the tables.
Blanding's first chance was against
Walter Johnson. The National star
had beaten the Maps so often Nc
CURE could see no other result He
thought he could look Blanding over
while he was being slaughtered. john
son pitched fine ball, but Handing did
better. He held the Nationals to six
scattered hits and won 5 to o.
Still MCGUIRE did not think the
voungster was fast enough. He
thought Blanding was lucky or above
his speed and picked him to tackle Cy
Morgan. a Nap hoodoo. Blanding won
again. to 4. He let the Athletics
down with nine scattered hits.
Then Mcclure began to think the
vounester was some pitcher. Bland
ing is counter on to make good from
the lump next spring. He has a LOT
of natural ability, cool head and
nerve.

-STTENEY RATE PAYS MOST
Dressed Beef Tariff Great Westerns
Biggest Revenue Producer.
so THE ANNUAL REPORT SHOWS
Jolt 60 Competing Lines that Tried TO
Make out This Was what
Broke the Chicago Great
western.

The Great Western shows in it's annual
report that the rate Of is cents a hundred
pounds, at which II has been carrying
dressed beef from Omaha to Chicago for
five years. Is its most remunerative rate.
This is the cut rate put in by former
President Stickney and which has been the
thorn in the flesh OF the other roads all
the while. But the most notable thing
about this rate is that other roads have
sought to create the belief that It was this
rate that led ultimately to the bankruptcies
Of the Great Western. They argued that
the rate got the road the bulk Of the bust
ness and this in turn broke the road.
Some years ago President Stickney en-
tered into a seven-years' contract with the
packers Of South Omaha by which he
agreed to haul their dressed meats to Chi
cago for IS cents per hundred. This was
what he figured the railroads were re-
ceivlng net, after deductlng their rebates.
Relating has been stopped since that time.
II is now announced that the Great West
ern has been realizing SIS mills per ton
per mile on dressed meats, while the
average for hauling all other freight on
the system is but III mills per ton per
mile.
More Thar Any other Traffic.
The Great Western, therefore, has been
getting more for hauling dressed meats I'M
der the ideal operating conditions Of from
one terminal on the line to another, direct,
though, from the Missouri river to Chicago,
than it collects from any other traffic, and
that at the published rate Of IS cents per
hundred pounds.
Missouri river business men have been
investigating this condition with a view
Of bringing the matter before the Interstate
Commerce commission and have found the
railroads are getting a high rate all over
the country for handling dressed meat.
1t has been found by Investigating the
reports that the Lake Shore between Chi
cago and Buffalo, where the conditions and
distance Is about the same as between
Omaha and Chicago, has been collecting
S.S7 mills per ton per mile on dressed meats,
while all other traffic on the system pays
an average of 5.21 mills per ton per mile.
The Nickel Plate, hauling between the
same terminals, received SIS mills per ton
pr mile, and but Sis mills per ton per mile
for hauling all other traffic on the system.
1t is expected the case which the Missouri
river markets brings before the Interstate
Commerce comission will make other in
teresting revelations. The proposed raise
will cause a great loss to Omaha, Sioux
City, Minneapolis, st. Paul and st. Joseph.

INDIAN HAS A METAL FACE
David Raymond of South Dakota Sub
jeot of Delicate Surgery.
FACE SHATTERED BY A GUN
Few Teeth Left Used to Anchor New
ind and BOny Structure of
Nose IL Replaced by n
silver Frame.

David Raymond is a South Dakota Sioux
Indian who is having a new face fixed on
at Clarkson hospital. His natural stoicism
VIII be reinforced hereafter by n
physiognomy unshakable by laughter or
sneeze.
Raymond, who is about 25, grew tired of
life in his W mind, last fall, and placed
a gun under his chin, with the muzzle up-
ward. Then he carefully pulled the trlg-
ger and presto!-he had no more face than
a devilfish.
David was a robust, tough chunk of
indian humanity, however, with a consti-
tuition akin to that OF a cat fully equipped
with lives. He lived, perhaps in agony.
but Of that he gave little sign, thus aving
his pride.
brought to Omaha for repairs, Raymond
was placed in the Clarkson Memorial hos
pital, and clever surgeons were called in
to look him over. It was a most desperate
case, they found. The whole under law
was shattered, and about ali that was left
that could be regarded as permanent was

hkewis pretty well gone, being split ana
made into ragged edges, but also retaining
a few teeth. He was shy entirely on nose

Immediately Joined forces and planned their
programs in such a way as to make one
great picnic of the day.
In the morning the Nebraska people had
charge of the festivities. Nebraskans and
North Dakotans mixed and listened to the
Nebraska orators talk of the good times
and the bad weather back home and the
good times and the fine weather in south
err California. w. II. H. Morris, president
of the Nebraska society, presided. Among
the speakers were ]. ]. Copper and A. b.
Taylor. At the conclusion of the program
N. M. Davidson, secretary, led the Ne
braskans to one side and showed them how
to register.
After the picnic dinner the North Da-
kota faction stormed the platform and told
the Nebraska people how glad they were
to be with tlem-away from the snow that
they might be fighting if they were both
at home. Then, Of course, they told about
the things they raise in the middle west,
especially in North Dakota, and finished
always with glowing tributes to the Cali
fornia climate. Among those who talked
were Edward Winterer, president of the

BOY INVENTORS MAKE MONEY
recent Instances of success and
Profit from Various
DeYicea,

Wireless telegraph and the onquest Of
the air have taken a firm hold on the
youth of America and hundreds of lads Of
tender years, but advanced ideas, are de-
voting their talent to the invention or con-
struction of machines in both these lines.
While these devices are largely for pleas
ure, Young America has proved its ability
to turn inventive genius into unitarian
channels. One of the most remarkable in
v~entions made by a boy is a device for
signalling on elevated roads. 1t is in use
on part Of the Brooklyn IL system and
is the work Of Morris Schaeffer, 10 years
old, a public school boy. Morris was Of
fered $1S,O 900 for this patent, but on the ad-
vice OF friends refused 1t, The boy expects
to be able to get $4,000 for the idea from
the railroad company.
OF quite a different caliber is the ma
chine invented by Donald H.. Miller, a
student at Columbia university. This, by
the mere touching Of keys, similar TO those
on a typewriter, translates Chinese into
English. 1t can also be used to translate
any other language. The continuance re-
sembles an adding machine.
From Indiana comes the record of the
achievement OF Claude Moore, the son Of a
poor coal miner. Young Moore, who is 20
years old, was reduced to the sum Of 2
cents when he received word from the pat
ent office that it had issued him a patent
on a cornhusker. Thereupon Claude, who
is a thrifty youth, sold this patent to the
Harvester trust for considerable real
money.
A most ambitious piece OF work has just
been successfully finished by Francis Lee
Herreshoff, the young nephew of the
famous yacht designer. This is the con-
struction OF a high-power racing automo-
bile with which has been developed the
tremendous speed Of eighty miles an hour.
Herreshoff has also patented a device
for subduing the glare Of acetylene lamps.
The mechanism does away with the neces-
sity OF extinguishin gthe lamps, for II soft
ems the glare. making It hardly more no.
ticeable than an oil lamp-Van Norden's

'Iroup Sorry He
Gets Cronk Case
Judge Who Heard Paul Suit is Also
to Hear the Next Big Di-
vorce Hearing.

Notice has been served tina a motion to
argue the Cronk divorce case will come up
before Judge Troup in district court Satur-
day and the question of temporary alimony
for Mrs. Cronk probably will be then
threshed out and settled.
Judges on the equity side of district
court have been prosecuting inquiries to
learn on whose docket the case fell and
there was no eagerness shown to secure
the position of presiding at the hearing.
Judge Troup, with memories of the re-
cent Paul case ringing in his ears, found
himself in a state of mind somewhat dis
similar to the mental conditions OF Judges
Sutton and Day when it was learned who
had the case.
