NOW PROPOSED
RACERS WILL FLY OVER TRAN
GULAR COURSE OF As
MILES

St. Lous, April 4.-Members of
the Aero Club of st. Louis are dis
cussing enthusiastically plans sub
mitted by Albert Bond Lambert, the
president, for an aero Marathon the
first week in October, which they be-
lieve will appeal to aviators of this
and other countries in the same way
the Vanderbilt race does to motorists.
The board of governors of the Aero
club has accepted President Lam
bert's preliminary plans and the
event is practically assured. 1t is pro-
posed to lay out triangular course
of 45 miles, the racers to fly four
times over this without alighting.
The first leg of the course is an
airline from Kinloch field, where the
aviators performed last October, to
Jefferson Barracks, 1S miles; the Sec
ond over and along the Mississippi
river to the Chain of Rocks, Is miles,
and the third back to the starting
point, 9 miles.

Wet or Dry the Issue

Denver, April Municipal cleo
tions are being held today in nearly
every city in Colorado with the eX-
ception of Denver, the liquor question
being the main issue in twelve NUM-
cipalities.
Interest centers in the fight at Colo
RADIO Springs, where the issue is 'Will
the tourist visit a dry town." Two
years ago the famous scenic resort at
the foot of Pixies Peak decided for
prohibition. Declaring this move had
injured the tourist busi-
ness, the merchants of the city inau-
gurated a campaign for the restricted
sale OF liquor, the plan permitting ho-
tells to serve liquor in their dining
rooms but restricting it's sale by drug
gists. Open saloons are not to be
permitted.
The little own of Collbran lays
claim to the apathy record. No nomi-
nations were made there because no
one was found who wanted any Of
flee. The ballots were printed in
blank and the voter may write in any
time he sees fit

city, who still lives in the state of
Chihuahua, said today he believed Ma
dero could not make an attack. The
federal garrison of Chihuahua City
and it's environs now numbers 2,700
while the insurrectos could not mus
ter more than 1900 men. Despite re-
ports to the contrary, he declared the
insurrecto forces have not been re-
cruited to any marked extent in the
last two months. Meanwhile the So
called peace ENJOYS are waiting for
word from Francisco I. Madero before
any further move is made toward the
cessation of hostilities.
Advices from Parral report the with
drawal of the insurrectos from that
town and its reoccupancy by the fed
erals. Several were killed in the en-
gagement. Puebla de Huejotitlan, a
town of five hundred inhabitants, was
reported sacked Monday by the in

Washington, April 4.-The burden
of statehood was brought home to
Oklahoma yesterday when the su-
preme court in substance told the
state 1t must look to its own laws to
regulate the liquor traffic and freight
rates, and not to the federal govern
ment. The state about a year ago
filed a petition in the supreme court
asking it to enjoin the railroads en-.
tering the old Indian Territory, from
carrying liquor into that section. The
request was based on the require
nent that Oklahoma provided in its
that liquor should not be

Defense Finished Strong

Ration, N. NJ, April 4.-The testi-
mony in the case of the territory
against j. B. Humphreys, alias Ar
kansaw, and Robert Henry Farr, alias
Henry Farr, on trial for the larceny
of $4,000 from the Wells-Fargo COM
pany, May IA, 1908, closed at noon
yesterday. Associate Justice G. ].
Roberts allowed counsel for the pro-
secution and the defense two hours
and a half each to sum up the case 20
the jury. The arguments of counsel
were concluded at 6 O'Clock, and Judge
Roberts then instructed the jury, and
at 6:15 the jury retired to deliberate
on it's verdict.
District Attorney George E. Rem
ley opened the case for the territory.
He was followed by E. G. Champion,
attorney for Henry Farr, and Judge E.
v. Long, the veteran lawyer Of the
Fourth judicial district, arguing more
specially for Humphreys whom he rep
resented. John Morrow, attorney for
Farr, closed the arguments for the de-
fense. Charles A. Spiess made the
concluding speech for the prosecution,
speaking nearly two hours. The court
room and gallery were crowded with
spectators, and from the demonstra-
tion made by the friends and relatives
of Farr during the argument of Attor
new CHAMPION to the jury, it was evi-
dent that they desired to influence the
audience and Jury in favor of an ac-
quittal. The demonstration was so
intense, that Judge Roberts ordered

The Case is Battling.

No arrests. Absolute silence re-
garding clews by the officers at
work on the case. This is the status
today of the search for the kidnapers
of little Waldo Rogers. The case is
battling. It is full of mystery. There
are some who are beginning to doubt
whether the officers really possess a
strong clew upon which they are
working; it may be they are endeav-
oring to give the impression they are
not working on a tangible case in
order that the criminals may be so
mnwary as to uncover their tracks.
On the other hand, they may be on
the right track and are carefully and
slowly working up their case before
making any arrests. 1t is not at. all
unlikly that the officers have the sus-
pected criminals under surveillance
and can take them into custody at
the moment they have secured suffi-
cient evidence to warrant them in
such a procedure. At all events, the
oficers are saying nothing.
AT. Rogers, Jr., father of the. kid
naped boy stated today that no ad-
vancement had been made in the
case. In a telephone conversation
with a representative of The Optic he
said:
mo there has been nothing new;
nothing we can give out. The officers
are working on the case but the least
said about what they are doing or are
finding out the better No public re-
ward has been offered"
Mr.. Rogers deprecated the numerous
rumors that have gained circulation
regarding the affair. He attributed
them to irresponsible persons. AS to
the report limiting at the possible re-
turn of the money, Mr.. Rogers was
especially indignant.

money" he asserted, would I con-
sent to a compromise or a dropping
