The race course which Is reported

greatly minimized.
While there are fewer entries for
the two races than had been antici-
pated il must be taken into consider
alton that this is the first time that
two events of such Importance have
ever been held within one week.
Two races for small cars also will

the Savannah Challenge Cup.

Savannah Challenge Trophy
Day Break Start,

The small car races on the first
day will start at daybreak and the
Vanderbilt Cup race-wi start when
these events are concluded probably
about 9: 80 O'Clock in the morning.
The, Grand Prize Race will start at
8 o'clock on the morning of Thanks
giving Day.
The automobile course, which has
a world wide reputation has been
cut out of the public roads of Chat
ham county and has been put in con-
dition by convict labor. Because of
the fact that the county authorities
consent to the use of the convicts
for this class of work the cost OF
putting the course in condition is
mnch less than 1t would be If the
work had to be paid for by contract
labor. The course Is shorter this
year than before having been reduced
in length to INA miles and has been
greatly improved compared to its
condition of year ago. The banked
turns which furnished SO many
thrills to both spectators and con-
testants two years since and which
were eliminated last year at the re-
quest largely Of the drivers have
been restored and It is expected they
will add much to the excitement Of

GREEN SAYS
"SLOW AND SURE

Manager Green, of the Hammond,
whiting & East Chiago Railway com
pany. said today that he is not at all
afraid of the big traction schemes
which are being promoted all over the
region
Too many lines are in the hands of
receivers. Take the Southern Illinois
Traction company. for instance. 1t is
built through better territory than
there is here. and yet it has been in
the hands of a receiver.
Green says that his company be-
lieves in going slow and making good
as 1t goes. In his opinion that is the
only way in which a traction system
may be successfully built up.

RE|LLEY
GIVEN A
fine JEWEL

The E1ks held their regular meeting
last night and a number of important
matters were taken up and disposed
OF
The feature of the meeting was the
presentation of a beautiful jeweled
watch charm to Past Exalted Ruler
John F. Reilly. The charm was pre-
sented to Mr.. Reilly by the members of
the lodge, to show their appreciation
for his faithful work in behalf of the
lodge during his last term of office.
DIR. Clark received the honor of pre-
senting the charm to Mr.. Reilley and,
of course, Doc did his share of the
performance most successfully. No
candidates appeared for initiation and
the lodge closed with short social
session.
1t was decided last night to hold
only one meeting a month during the
warm weather and the meeting will
now be held the last Thursday night
of each month.

est bull frogs that has been seen in
this city In some time Hammond was
shocked by the news that George had
been killed on the Lake Shore rail-
road
Earle was called up on the tele-
phone and asked if he was dead. He,
like Mark Twain, said that the report
was greatly exaggerated. He said he
did not understand how such a rumor
could have become current.
Earle has been camping in the vi
cinity of Long Lake and spends a
great deal of his time looking for bull
frogs. That he was successful in his
quest is shown from the fact that he
got over 100 big bull frogs.
Whitaker says that some of them
are as big as squirrels. Up to a late
hour this afternoon William Earle had
not returned from the search for his
brother.
The report caused a great deal Of
trouble, in another way. 1t was frs
reported that Earle had been killed BY
an Indiana Harbor Belt railroad a
Dune Park. The local agent of tn.
Michigan Central road made inquire.
all along the road in an effort to de
termine the truth of the report.
The same was done by the agent o
the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Benz
railroad in this city. The practica

story reached THE TIMES this mornin:

M'MAHON AND MEYER
ARE MENTIONED
Two More Good Men Spoken
of in Connection With
School Board.

w. w. Mcmahon of Hammond is be-
ing mentioned for a position on the
board of education in Hammond. Judge
Mcmahon is well liked and it Is be-
Heved that he would use good judg-
ment on the board.
There is a good deal of speculation
to what the council will do in this
matter. There are good many in
f1uences being brought to bear in the
matter and it is hard to tell just what
will be done.
LeGrand T. Meyer is another man
who Is being mentioned for the place.
His friends say that he would stand
squarely against any efforts to put
one over" and would be a capable man
in the place.
The list of candidates has grown un-
til it includes, in addition to the above

1t may be that he win go after the
nomination for governor in 1916. but
saying that he will be the candidate in
1912.
Ralston is still in the lead among the
democrats mentioned for the nomina-
tion for governor. The Taggart crowd
Is back of him almost to a man, re-
gardless of the reports that Taggart
would back OBrien. Ralston Is as
close to Taggart as is O'Brien. and has
as strong a claim on his support for a
nomination as any man in the state.
Ralston has helped to push along the
Taggart road roller for years. and it
is not believed that Taggart will for
get this fact.
Ralston believes he will be nomi-
mated for governor. Some of.his friends
go so far as to predict that he will

WORKING At
STANDARD

No new orders have been received at
the Standard Steel Car company. How
ever, the reports that the plant is to
shut down entirely seems to be un-
founded. There are. now about 1000
employed in the passenger car depart
ment of the plant.
Small passenger car orders keep
coming in, and it is believed that there
is snouEh work in this department to
keep the plant running until along in
the winter
Following the report that the United
States Steel company has purchased the
Standard Steel Car company. there is
another to the effect that the same
company has purchased the Haskall-
Barker plant at Michigan city Meth
er of these reports are given very much
credence in well informed circles.
