now rests upon complex fabric of laws

RIDERS GRUMBLE At
THEIR PRIZE MONEY
Six-Day Cyclists Lose by Per.
centage System They De-
manded of Promoters.

NEW YORK. December 19.-The annual
distribution of the prize money to the
contestants in the six-day cycle race was
more productive of injuries than any spill
that occurred last week at the Garden.
The bruises were all to the feelings. how
ever, and it was a disgruntled set OF men
that congregated in the corridors of the
Bartholdi Hotel Yesterday afternoon and
bemoaned their fate. The joke Of il, IL
ANYTHING humorous can be seen in ii, was
that the riders themselves were to blame
for what happened. For years they had
seen the promoters waxing fat en- the big
gate receipts while they received only a
nominal sum in comparison for their ef-
forts. SO this year they demanded that
thew he permitted to ride on percentage.
They forgot, however, to make one little
stipulation, that they should be guaran-
teed a certain amount OF prize money
The result was that the winners received
800 less than last year. when the prize
was stated beforehand. When asked why
thew did not have sense enough to demand
a guarantee, q prominent trainer saia:

after this until some OF the teams found

renelied at the last moment. received
nothing but their bonus of $50 day.
r orenx said that not for $4,000 would he
ever come over here again to ride In q
six-day race.
Frank Kramer was about the only one
who had no kick. He said that he was
eJven the largest bonus on record. The
s,,m was SAID to amount to close to 5000.
Kramer said never again" when asked
~ he would ride on q percentage system.
Harry Pollok said that the receipts for
the week were in the neighborhood Of

that the crowd last week was bigger by
far than one year ago. when it was ad-

ernenses ate up all but small portion.

Negotiation of New Treaty
Presents Many Difficulties

1t is declared by Secretary Knox that
the State Department has nothing what
ever TO add in the way of information
to the correspondence regarding the Rus
sian treaty that had been laid before the
Senate. That statement applied not only
to the action that had been taken up to
this time but also to the course which
the department would pursue during the
interim of little over a year between the
notification of the Russian government
of the denunciation of the treaty and the
expiration of that convention. December

While it is true that nations have got
along fairly we'll for considerable periods
of time without treaties Of trade and
navigation, it is also true that it is ex
tremely desirable that business of the
great volume of that between the United
States and Russia should not be done by
sufferance, but that it should rest upon
well established legal rights such as can
be defined only in treaties.
Otherwise American consuls in Rus
STA would have no legal powers in a
matter Of the disposition of estates
and in hundred other capacities.
American shipping might be excluded
from any Russian port at the within Of
the local officials without affording
ground for protest on our part. Any
American, whether Jew or Gentle,
might be excluded. Then the amount
of customs taxes to be levied upon
American goods imported into Russia
could be fixed at the will Of the gov
test: even though such rates were very
much higher than those levied upon
similar goods imported from other
countries.
Therefore, it is assumed that the
