gan, the American representative OF
the Automobile Club de la Sarthe,
promoters OF the French Grand Prix
road race, has received cabiegram
reading: French makers demand
postponement August 2 or Septem Der
to meet American competition.
Cable your advice
Mr., Morgan opposes any postpone
ment' and considers that the French
makers have had a good enough OPP
portunity to get ready for the race.
which Is scheduled for July 8. He
wired back: Am totally opposed to
postponement Believe an American
car Will win"
Commenting on this reply, the SEN
ator said: 'Of course il is quite pos
sible that the French club will not
heed my advice and will bow to the
tiictatfon OF tie Ttrsndh automoBfre
makers. who seem to have assumed
the autocratic stand taken by the Au-
tomobile Club of France in regard
TO road racing. The French makers
had asicompact until this year not to
enter any road race. believing that 1t
would entail too much expense and
damage TO the firms who did not
win.
NOW they are OF the opinion taaf
IL Is quite possible an American car
will win the French Grand prix road
race, but they did not wake up until
l had sent over four American en-
tries. ] have paid all the expenses in
connection with the American team
preparations out of my own pocket,
but do not urge the running of the
race on the date scheduled on that
account. My personal objection is not
to allow the French manufacturers
to do now what they should have done
months ago II they are afraid of
American competition"

mick FALKNER" DIES.
Little Bo6-Tailed Deg at the Fire
Department Headquarters Pass
es Away After Making Good
Record.

Nick FaIkner," the little bob
tailed f0X-terrier dog which has
filled his position so h0norably at
the fire departments headquar-
Jers for the past year, died last
Sunday evening. Nick came to
Henderson about eighteen months
ago, as a hobo, on a freight train
and was dumped off at the depot
as such. He was picked up by
Mr.. Russell Daniel who gave him
to Mr.. Robert Falkner, the fire
company's driver.
Mr.. Falkner made Nick a home
in the municipal building near
the fire horses. The little dog
had outlived the reputation as
hobo and had made one of his
own that was an honor to him.
Besides his faithfulness to his
master and the fire horses, and
his readiness to mount the fire
wagon and take his seat as soon
as the gong was sounded. he WaS
a champion rat killer. He killed
about two bushels of rats at the
fire house since he came to Hen
derSOn.
Just how Nick lost his tail can
not be ascertained. Some think
it was burned off and others
think it was pulled off BY fire
man while trying to keep him
out Of the fire. but it is said that
Nick had his tail when he came
to Henderson. All members of
the fire company will be greatly
grieved to hear he has died.
Nick ate one rat too many which
was the cause Of his death.
