.BROOKLAND TRACK
is IN MANY WAYS
|. WONDERFUL COURSE
Automobile Engineers Give
Good Account of In
Stitution.

Hrooklands automobile track Is in
many respects q remarkable institution;
IT was the first project OF its kind. and
II mas attained to degree OF pernia-
ence, put any one who entertains the
IDEA or sending an American car over
there In the hope Of breaking any rec
ords that have been made on our own
indianapolis speedway is doomed to
dlsappointment.' Such Is the declara-
ton of member of the Society II
Automobile Engineers who returned
from England with the party last week,
and who took a favorable opportunity
OF relating his Impressions of the great
British speedway on which SO many
records have been broken.
"Of course, Brookisnds is an insti-
tution," he went on to say. ITO that
extent II Is much more impressive than
the indianapolis track. For instance,
the fences. the stands. the approaches,
and buildings are all OF an established
character, and far more elaborate than
anything to which we aspire over here
under similar conditions Even the
manner of displaying the names of
record holders is characteristic. All the
standing records for each class of car
are displayed in the form of brass
plates, and when a man breaks a rec
ord, instead of sticking up finisy
painted sign, as We would. down comes
the old plate and up goes a brand-new
one in It's place.
But as for the track'-he smiled dis
dainfully-"by comparison with the
brick surface at Indianapolis, 1t Is hope

cheapest kind Of cement laid with local
gravel and in no sense Is comparable
with the brick surface at indianapolis

Mt. Vernon Road to
Defend Present Rates

Company, accused of charging ex-
cessive rates from Washington to Mt.
Vernon, will have an opportunity to
testify before the Interstate Com
merce Commission Tuesday morning,
when the hearing will be resumed be-
fore Commissioner e. L. Pugh.
The petitioners ask that the round
trip rate between this city and Mt
Vernon be reduced. that proper ac-
commoda tions for passengers wait
ing at Alexandria be ordered, that
the Hunting Creek bridge be made
safer and that Virginia children 60
ing to school in the District be given
lower rates.

DISTRICT PRIMARY
LAW TO Be URGED .
At THIS SESSION
Bristow Hopes to Change
Manner of Choosing
Delegates. :

A Presidential primary, law in the Dis
trict of Columbia is to be urged during
the present session of Congress through
the joint efforts of Senator Bristow of
Kansas and Congressman Oldfeld of
Arkansas. Senator Bristow hopes to
get action in the Senate soon after the
holidays on his bill authorizing changes
in the manner of selecting delegates to
the national conventions.
Congressman Oldfield proposes to in
troduce a bill similar to the Bristow
measure soon after Christmas. and II
favorable action is taken by the respec-
tive District committees 1t Is thought
that the bill may be put through both
houses with the aid of Democrats and
progressive Republicans.
Senator Bristow says the present ar
rangement of electing delegates to the
convention and national committeeman
is worse than a joke" and that in poll
tics the District Is represented, in the
eyes of the country, by a round zero.
The Bristow bill provides for the filing
with the District Commissioners of no.
tees of candidacy duly Endorsed by citi-
zens Of the District by all desiring cleo
ton as delegates to national conven-
tons. These names are to be printed on
ballot, the form of which is prescribed
in the bill, and which shall bear at the
top the names of candidates for the
Presidential nomination of the party.
The qualified voter in casting his bal
! lot indicates his preference for delegate
and candidate as we'll, so that the
| delegate is elected for the prescribed
! purpose of casting his vote for one par
ticular candidate. The bill specifically
| sets forth that the delegate shall be
| guided by the wishes Of the majority OF
| those who voted for him.

Although Gioni was supposed to
have left this part of the country
four months ago, ostenstbly for Cal

lice that he is near Boston. This
belief is partially substantiated by a
report that Gioni was seen within a
few days in the North End.

threatened to seek the protection of

In addition to its other numerous du-
ties which 1t will have to fulfill after
the holidays, the Senate Will have to
come to a conclusion whether II Is going
to continue to allow Senator's WilliSm
Lorimer of Illinois and Uncle Ike"
Stephenson OF Wisconsin to sit In Its
midst.
This is not a pleasant duty to per-
form, but 1t has to be done. The Sem
ate has never before beer called on TO
dispose of two such cases as these. In
which corrupt methods Of election are
alleged at practically the same time.
The prevailing opinion about the Sem
ate Is that Lorimer will be ousted,
whereas Uncle Ike will be allowed to
stay. The report OF the subcommittee
Of the Privileges and Elections Com
mittee, which made the Stephenson In
vestigation, is expected to be to the ef-
feet that in spite Of the huge expendi-
ture of money in the Stephenson cam
paign, charges of corrupt practices to
an extent to affect the result have not
been proven. The Privileges and Elec-
tions Committee is expected to sustain
the subcommittee.
Interest In Report.
Much interest Will attacn 10 Tie report

is on the subcommittee, will make on
the Stephenson case. 1t is thought I'M
likely that he will unite with the rest
Of the subcommittee in the finding.
though he will probably not take the
ground the charges are proven.
Some members of the Senate hold
that the mere fact that Senator Steph-

insure his election ought to cause his
exclusion from the Senate. But the
prevailing Senate view Is not this.

II the committee should unite in q
report that Lorimer should be ousted
that would be the end Of the Senator
from Illinois. The Senate would sus
tain the committee. But the COM
mittoe is not expected to be united.
One reason for this is that half its
members voted to allow Lorimer to
keep his seat on the first investiIa-
ton They are Dillingham;. Gamble
Fletcher, and Johnston. IT is a ques-
ton whether any of the four will
shift and thus admit that Lorimer
should be ousted. The senators who

sition he will take this time Is no,
known, though 1t Is assumed that ir
view of the additional evidence that has
been drawn out, tending to show there
was corruption in connection with the
election Of Lorimer. he will be opposed
to his retention in the Senate.
II Jones does not shift his position
the committee apparently will be foul
to four for and against lLorimer. On,
possibility that the majority report will
be anti-Lorimer rests with Senator
Gamble of South Dakota. Senator
Gamble last winter voted to sustain
Lorimer. For this, he was bitterl,
criticised in South Dakota. Some talk Il
heard that he will take q stand agains
Lorimer this session. and for this rea
son there is special interest In his at
titude.
1t is recognized that II would be mucl
to the advantage of the Lorimer forces
II they could get a majority report II
their favor from the committee. Thi
would give some Senators who fear Z
vote for Lorimer on account of publ
sentiment. a chance to do SO and poin
