BIG MOTORCYCLE RUN
Sixty Well Equipped Riders Leave
Rexford for Colorado.

Rexford. Kan, Aug. Sixty motor
cycle riders, members of the Kansas
Short Grass Motorcycle club, started
yesterday from Rexford on their sec
ond annual tour to the south and west.
Garden City marks the END of the first
days run and from there the riders
will go west, following the new Santa
Fe trail as closely as possible. Points
of interest that the members will visit
are Canon City, Pueblo, Cripple Creek
and Colorado Springs. They expect to
return in fourteen days and will fol-
low the Rock Island railroad back
from Colorado Springs.
At various places along the route
to the south there are members wait
ing to Join the club as they pass and
they will have over one hundred rid
ers when they leave CARD en- City. Ar
rangeme nts have been mads by the
comm ercial clubs and other organiza-
tions along the route to entertain the
members for a short time in all the
principal cities. An expert machin-
list accom- panied them in an automo-
bile and he will be on hand at all times
to repair the breaks that may occur
The club photographer accompanied
them and will furnish photographs of
all the places of interest along the
route. Several automobiles loaded
with passengers are bringing up the
rear. Considering the length and the
number of riders the tour is one of the

STATEHOOD AT LAST.
Bill Admitting Arizona and New Mex
leo Passes Senate.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The bill grant
ing statehood to New Mexico and Ar1-
IONA, legislation that las been for
many years the dream of The people OF
those territories, was passed by the
senate last night, SO to / 8, after reJec-
ton of the Nelson amendment which
proposed striking out of the Arizona
constitution its judiciary recall provi-
sion.
The bill as passed by the senate diff
fers only slightly from the house
measure and, it is said, nay be unsat-
isfactory to President Taft He has
commended all along that he would be
glad to sign the statehood bill If the
Nelson amendment prevailed, but that
it was a grave question whether he
would be willing to sign 1t II the
amendment was defeated as it was by
AZ to 26. The indications are that the
bill will become a law without his sig
nature.
The senate amended the house bill
with two minor changes -.9garding the
manner of voting in New Mexico on
proposed amendments to its const1tu-
ton. These will undoubtedly be agreed
to by the house and the nill expedited
to the White House. These amend
ments were reported by the senate
committee on territories and agreed to
without debate
Practically all of the nebate on the
bill centered around the Nelson
amendment Even some senators who
declared their opposition to the recall
of judges voted against the amend
ment on the ground thai If the people
of Arizona desired recall as part Of
their system of government it was for
them and not for conBt ess to say
whether they should have it.
The bill as passed compels Arizona
as a condition precedent to entry into
the Union to submit the recall propo-
sition to the voters for final decision
as to whether it will remain in their
constitution. New Mexico must vote
on a proposition embodied in the bill
which would make the constitution Of
the state easier of amendment.

HAUL THE WHEAT FREE.
All the Railroads Today Agree to Do
This.

Representatives of the seedIess
wheat counties and of the Kansas rail-
roads met in the offices of the utilities
commission today and as a result of
the conference the Missouri Pacific,
Santa Fe, Union Pacific and Rock
Island railroads agreed to haul seed
wheat free to the northwest counties
for fall planting. The counties were
represented as follows:
Gove-George H. Thomas. county
clerk.
Thomas-B- w. Baird.
Logan-W. A. Potter and J. w.
Wolf, county commissioners.
Wallace-ThomaS Price, sheriff.
Cove county will need $4,000 bush
els of seed wheat, according to esti-
mates made today. Thomas will need
$4,000 bushels. Logan $4,000 bush
els Wallace 10000 bushels.
1t is believed that the action of the
railroads in deciding to haul the seed
wheat free will help the situation to a
considerable degree. Plans are on foot
to lend seed wheat to responsible
farmers on shares to be repaid with
one-fourth of the crop raised next
year. individuals will make the in
vestment in the seed wheat and take
chances on next year being good
wheat year in western Kansas.

GET new BALLOONS
Ruling May Disqualify Crews Selected
for Bennett Cup Race.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug "A de-
manded change of balloon material
may change the entire American team
in the James Gordon Bennett interna-
tional trophy balloon race to start
from Kansas City October 5. When
the team was chosen about two weeks
ago, the clause was put in that the
pilots must fly a balloon with rubber
lied cotton or silk gas envelope. Now
pilots and aero club presid ents are try
ing to determine just what the clause
really means and what bearing it will
have on the American team.
One thing, it means that none of the
winning balloons in the national elimi-
nation race which started from here
July 10 will be in the international
race-for they were cotton fabrics. 1t
may mean that none of the winning pi-
lots of the national will fly in the in
ternational and it may moan that Kan
sas City will get chance iE the race.

was of rubber fabric was the New

In a letter to George NJ. Myers, pres
ident of the local aero club, yesterday
Captain Honeywell stated that it was
his belief that Berry and Assmar
would not be able to obtain a rubber
balloon, which they must do before
September 1 to comply with the rules
of the race. Lahm, he believes, will
be able to get one. With Berry anc
Assman out, the choice calls to Wade
and Jacobs. Wade has q rubber bal
loon and will fly, undoubtedly, but the
Topeka club has not one and may mo-
be able to obtain it. If they do not

place in the race.
Mr.. Myers returned yesterday morn

engagements for the proposed balloon
race between Kansas City, Topeka, st
Louis and other cities which may come
in. The date of the race IS fixed as
