BURMAN HANGS UP
 NEW MILE RECORD

New York, July IA new worlds automobiling record for one mile was established by Robert Burman today at the Brighton Beach >motordome at the conclusion of the two-day race meet ing. The record fell when Burman, in his Blitzen Benz, with a flying start made circuit of the mile track in 4S.72 seconds, one-fifth of a second bet ter than De Palma in a Fiat car, made last year at Syracuse.
 Burman also won the Remy Brassard trophy by taking two straight heats of three miles each with the Benz car, his best time being 2:373S. Nine events were on the programme.
 Len Zengle, driving a National of GOO inch displacement, won the ten mile event and also the Australian purse race, after covering nearly "A miles.
 Louis Disbrow finished first with a Pope Hartford in the fifty-mile contest after experiencing a good deal of tire trouble which compelled him to leave the track for repairs four times. The other events were at five miles each for non-stock cars in which Patschke e with a Benz, Tyron with a Correja and Tower driving an E. M. F., were the winners

TOTAL PAID ATTENDANCE FOR TWO GAMES 1079S-MORNING GAME DREW EXCEPTIONALLY IS RECORD
THE ATTENDANCE

People to the number of Il ,066 witnessed the games in Birmingham yesterday. The attendance on the morning game, 1t is believed, broke the morning games rec ord in this league. There were 4066 paid admissions.
 There was indication that in the after noon something like 10000 people would gather to witness the second game. But before time for leaving sthe city for the park, heavy clouds gathered, thunder rolled, and light rain fell. There is hard 'ly doubt but that the bad weather pre- vented 5000 or 4000 from carrying out their plans of witnessing the game. However, 6732 paid to see the Barons win, and, everything considered, the attendance was fine
 There was large number of out-of- town fans in Birmingham yesterday. Several hundred came from Montgomery. Tuscaloosa sent its quota, as did other neighboring cities. Games in the South eastern cut off attendance from Gads- den, Decatur and Anniston, which attend ance had been given in other seasons
 But it is generally believed that but for bad weather a new Southern league rec- ord would have been established yester- day afternoon.

A RECORD IN PRISON FOOD
Boys in the Indiana Reformatory Are
 Fed for Ten Cents Daily
From the Indianapolis News.


 Jeffersonville Ind.--The entire cost to the state of caring for more than ,l"o voung men at the Indiana reformatory is less than 10 cents day for each. Forty cents a day is the cost of feeding inmates of the county jail. The cost Of feeding reformatory inmates was l.64 cents n day for each in the fiscal year ending last September 90. The gross cost including all the running expenses of the institution, was 49.10 cents day. and the earnings of the inmates cut this ss. .49 cents, leaving a net cost of s.O cents.
 These figures were brought out from inquiry on account of the impression that the modern method of handling convicts is expensive to the taxpayer. To this cost might be added a gross charge of ESQ., 769.57 for repairs and permanent inn movements at the institution during the fiscal year, but with this addition the cost per capita per diem for the average of HOG inmates was increased to II .3S cents-a little over s1 for six days. The actual gross cost of feeding the inmates of the Indiana institution is even less than 12 or 13 cents, considered an achieve ment in the District of Columbia work house under the management of Will H. Whitaker, former superintendent of the Indiana reformatory.

know. It will take great many years before the land is again sunk beneath the ocean. The Geological survey is sponsor for this informa tion
 It says additionally that although the amount may appear trivial, it is stupen- dous when considered as a total. The Mississippi river carries annually to the sea l36, 100000 tons of dissolved matter, and of this total the Chio river carries twice as much. The Colorado river, which has built up for itself a vast delta. brings down more suspended matter than any other river in the United States, de- livering annually 3s7 tons for each square mile of it's drainage basin, or total of 100, TAO 000 tons.
 The rivers of the United States carry to tdewater every year 270,0o0o0o tons of dissolved mater and 5l3000,000 tons of suspended matter. This total of 7s3000,000 tons represents more than 350- O00000 cubic yards of rock, or 6iO,010 600 of cubic yards of surface soil If this erosive action, says the Geological sur-s vey. had been concentrated on the 1sth- mus of Panama at the time of the Amer; ican occupation, 1t would have eXcavated the prism for an S5-foot level canal in 73 days.

DIR. LYMAN ABBOTT WRITES
 ON PROHIBITION QUESTION

may be, they are practically so left free. 1 The people of one part of the state may pass law prohibiting saloons in another part of the state, but experience proves that they will not, or cannot, enforce a law in locality in which they have only a remote interest.
 I am pretty familiar with the workings of the prohibition law in the state Of Maine. That it has done some good in some localities by closing the open saloon Is true. But that good has been mora than counterbalanced by the spirit of law lessness and by law evasion which it has stimulated. In my judgment. it has worked far more harm than it has good to the social and moral life of the state of Maine. And yet the state of Maine, with it's Puritan faith and it's scattered rural population, is one which would in many respects be preculiarly favorable to the experiment of statewide prohibition. If any attempt were made to introduce statewide prohibition in this state. [ should exert all the influence I have against it's adoption.
 l fully recognize the fact that in this position l am opposed to the opinions of many excellent men, and that the publi- cation of my convictions on this subject is liable in the future to subject me, as it has in the past to misreport and mis- construction. But my position, taken i after careful stury of the whole sub | ject both in it's practical and theorstseal | aspects is, in a sentence, this. I am heartily in favor of local option | either by towns or counties, and in most
 communities, in the local option contest
 should work as I have worked in my
 home town in New York state, for the
 prohibition of the saloons But I am op-
 posed to statewide prohibition as both in-
 consistent with self-government and i'm
 practicable of effectual execution. | You are welcome to make any use of | this letter you desire. Yours very truly, l LYMAN ABBOTT.

Fort Worth, Tex, July 4-(Special)- 0. I. Patterson of Fort Worth has the following letter from Rev. Lyman Abbott, D. D., editor Of the Outlook, to which Theodore Roosevelt Is a contributing edi- tor. concerning statewide prohibition and local option:
 New York, June 26, 1911.--Your favor of June 21 Is received. Lam, and long have been, strongly opposed to statewide pro- hibition, either by law or constitutional amendment. There is, perhaps, one ex- ception: When the state has practically adopted prohibition, town by town, Of county by county, so that it is clearly demonstrated that practically all parts of the state are in favor of prohibition, the objection to that policy disappears But the only state, so far as I know, in which this is true, is the state of Kan sas; and I am by no means sure that it is true even there. My objection to state- wide prohibition is based partly on gen. eral principle and partly on my observa- tion of the working of prohibition in the state of Maine.
 The general principle Is this: Democ- racy means self-government. Self-gov- ernment means local elf-government; that is. it means that the people of each locality are to determine those questions which concern only, or chiefly, that local ity; the people of the state those thing which concern only, or chiefly. the state and the people of the nation those whicf concern the nation at large. The excis' concerns chiefly the people of the locality
 The people of Galveston, Tex. are only remotely, not directly, interested in tho excise conditions in the northern coun ties of Texas. For this reason, the people of various localities should be left free to determine the excise question for them selves and in fact, whatever the law
