4 TRIPLE MURDER.
Young Man Kills Father, Mother and
Younger Brother.

Instead of being married last night,
as he had planned, William Lee. q
years old, is in Jail n Bonneville, Ind,
charged With the murder of his father,
Richard Lee, his mother and his
younger brother Clarence. whose black
ened bodies, the skulls crushed with an
axe or Ratchet, we're found early yes
terday in their burning home. Because
of threats OF violence against him Lee
may secretly be taken to the jail at
Evansville for sa.e-keeping.
An axe and hatchet, the heads
covered with blood, were picked up in
the house after the firemen had put
out the flames. Traces OF kerosene
we're found on the beds and the foors

some property owned by the Lees at
Newburg, had disappeared. A fourth
share OF the money from the sale had
been given to William Lee by his
father.
William Lee was to have been mar
ried last night to Miss Nina Taylor, q.
daughter of farmer living near New
burg. Witneases at the inquesc told
the coroner that Lee had quaIreled
with his father because the latter had
not given him as much money as he,
thought he should have in view of his
approaching marriage.
Lee showed no emotion when he was
taken to the morgne yesterday, aud the
uddies OF his rather, mother and brother
were uncovered to his gaze. He looked
and then turned to face the curious
crowd outside. Afterward he willingly
posed, while lighting his pine: for pho

ATHLETES To MEET
At NATIONAL GUARD
ARMORY TONIGHT
Demands Will Be Made To
South Atlantic Branch
Of A. u.

The affairs of Washington athletic
clubs in regard to the treatment they
have received at the hands of the
South Atlantic branch of the Amateur
Union will be thoroughly aired to-
night when six Of the local organiza-
tions will meet at the National
Guard Armory to draw UP demands
which will be made on the main body
of the A A. U.
The most important changes required
by certain dissatisfied clubs of this city
are a larger proportion Of officers in
the South Atlantic Association and a
classification Of college athletes in
events held under the A. A. U. sane
ton.
1t Is understood that the clubs that
will be most prominent in the move
ment for these changes are: the WASH
ineton Cross Country Club. National
Guard Athletic Association. Carroll IT.
stitute, Aloysius Club. Memorial Ath-
letic Club. and the fremont Athlettc
Club.
Probably no drastic. action will be
taken at tonights meeting, but an un-
derstanding will be reached as to what
will be done IL the South Atlantic
branch ignores the appeals that will be

MOTOR CAR RACES
MADE DANGEROUS
BY SMALL TRACKS
Contest Board Is Severely
Criticised For Ignoring
Reform.
By HARRY WARD.

TIE contest board OF the American
Automobile Association, the governing
body of automobile sports, is being Sc
yerely criticised for its action In not
refusing sanctions to promoters Of
automobile races on mile and half-mile
dirt tracks
A close follower Of the sport points
out there is no reason why there should
not be more fatal accidents as long as
the contest board continues to issue
sanctions for meets on small tracks.
The situation is clearly up to the con-
test board.
II sanctions are refused for meets
that are on tracks notoriously and OBJ
Viously unsafe, there will be many less
fatalities. The cause Of automobiling
is not being served by these killings.
The makers of cars are not learning
anything because such and such an
automobile goes through the fence at
this meet or such another car turns
over on ahcther course. Automobile
manufacturers supposedly are trying to
learn by means of racing the things
they need to strengthen. These con-
tests on small fair ground tracks will
not teach them mucn, II anything. 1t Is
high time, then, that sanctions were re-
fused for these competitions where the
prize generally is the life of either q
driver or a spectator.
Many of the new models are equipped
with self-starting devices. The Metz-
ger Motor Car Company. represented
here by w. P. Barnhart, is using a self
starter on both the Everitt six" and
the four-cylinder models. It is of the
compressed air type, operated by a
push button on the dash. The device
has been found efficient and reliable
under the most severe and long-contin-
ued tests, and is sure to prove an in
teresting feature Of the 1912 Everitt
line.

Stoddard Company, returned yesterday

The garage is furnished in unit Soc

put their charges through their first
scrimmage of the season here yesterday
afternoon The scrimmage was hard
while It lasted, but was cut short on
account of the heat. Frequent shifts
were made in the line-ups Of both the
first and scrub elevens, and each can
didate was given individual instruction
by the coaches. L.. .,
Baker, of last years freshman eleven,
and Sawyer, at the halfback positions,
made several fair gains around the
ends, but produced nothing of the sem
sationaI variety, while De Witt. at full.
showed up only fairly well at hitting
the line This may have been due In
part, however, to the weakness of the
varsity line on the offense, Tom Wilson,
at right tackle, being the only man
who seemed to be able to make any inn
preston on the scrub line.
The lineup of the first team was:
