dILADELPHIA, Oct. g. (Sunday)
Mine men were killed this morning
as the result of wild automobile
race, in which big car, owned by
Edward Shaw was hurled over the
side of bridge, falling seventy feet
into a coal yard along the line of
Reading railroad as Thirty-third
street.
4 The bodies of the nine men were
SO badly mangled that the police were
unable to identify them
1t is supposed that two cars were
racing across the bridge or viaduct,
when the driver of one car either
lost control or there was collision.
After the accident the car that re-
mained on the roadway was driven
rapidly away from the scene. Its oc-
cupants evidently realized that the
nine men in the lost car was certain
ly killed and sought to conceal their
own identity by escaping
& Though the car was owned by
Shaw, whose home is in Merchants
vile, the police were unable to tell
whether he was one of the victims.
They believe that the dead are Phila-
delphia men.
The death car was a big automo-
slbile, with seats for seven, though
nine could easily have been crowded
into it. Persons who saw the cars
start across the viaduct said they
were going about fifty miles an hour
and that the race was keen.
The police sent out an alarm for
the car that sped away from the
scene, but no trace Of it was reported.

DALTON. Mass, Oct. 5.-In the
longest and fastest motor trip since he
went to Beverly in August, President
Taft, and his guests, in the big white
house automobile covered today 1S0
miles in six hours and forty minutes
Mrs. Taft accompanied the president
and Miss Mabel Boardman occupied a
seat in the machine as the guest of
President and Mrs. Taft. The start
was made from Parramatta at S:25.
Springfield was reached at 1925, and
stop was made at hotel there for
luncheon. AT 3:20 the trip was re-
sumed and at 500 D. m. the party
reached the summer home of United
States Senator Crane.
The president and Mrs. Taft and
Miss Boardman will be guests at the
Crane home until Monday morning.
Then the trip to Vermont, New Hamp-
shire and Maine will be resumed. I'm
less present plans are changed it will
involve about 500 miles of motor trav-
ell. On the way today the president
discovered county fair in progress,
at Palmer, Mass. The attractions to
the big crowd in attendance were dis
plays in large tents and the horse
races. The president of the fair as
sociation asked the president to make
a tour of the race track in order that
all the fair crowd could see him. The
president assented and as the auto
mobile circled the track, the president
was received with loud acclaim.
Representative Gillette met the
president at the Springfield hotel and
was given the honor of ride in the
white house motor to the golf club
outside of Springfield, of which Gil
lette is member. The main feature
of this trip was the great cloud OF
dust that filled the air, as the automo-
biles of the president and of those
travelling with him plowed through the
thick layer OF powdered dust.

We're engaged in this action today
American blood was split In bat
tie which officials here believe, from
the cabled descriptions in dispasson-
ate official reports, to have been the
most sanguinary in the history of the
latin-American republics.
The rebel loss was reported as
very heavy scores being moved
down by the cross fire of machine
guns from two detachments of the
American marines.
The engagement was the climax to
what is practically intervention In
Nicaragua for the protection of
American lives and property" al
though in diplomatic fiction, Uncle
Sam is at peace with the world The
administration of Nicaraguan Gus
toms has been in charge of an Ameri-
can, representing an American bank
ing syndicate. American interests own
plantations, railroads, steamship yes
sells, and important concessions in the
republic. 1t was on their request,
based on appeals for protection from
Americans in the revolution zone,
that Uncle Sam dispatched 1000 mar
ines to Managua, the capital city.
Uncle Sam is also attempting to Sc
cure settlement of claims against
Nicaragua aggregating many millions
of dollars.

averted, though the outlook is deem

CONSTANT1NOPLE, Oct. 5.-There
was a fever of war enthusiasm in
tonight. The capital
was depressed at the outbreak OF
strife with Italy. Tripoli meant moth
ing to the average Turk. Even the
humblest realized that it must be a
campaign by sea, that Turkey had no
navy, that defeat was inevitable. But
the Greek, the Bulgarian, the Servian
and the Montenegrin are known, and
the rank and file of the Turks are
confident of their ability to beat
them
The new regime has never been so
popular. All elements are united.
The press is bowling for hostilities.
Enthusiastic demonstrations occurred
before all the ministries during the
day. Troops are pouring into the city
from all directions and out again to-
ward the northern frontier No one
thinks of submission to the demands
of the quadruple alliance.
Following today's demonstrations
against them, the Italian, Greek, Bull
garian, servian and Montenegrin lega-
tons are under heavy guard against
mob violence.

Club House on the Lake Open to the
Public

Mr.. N. Coleman. owner of the
Lamb Davis club house on Lake Wen
atchee has decided to turn the place
into a public hostelry and to that end
has employed a competent manager
and cook. On and after the first of
June the place will be open during
the summer season. Regular boarders
will be taken and meals served to
campers and one-day visitors to the
lake. If you contemplate visit to
the lake you need not take your lunch
or make your face red over camp fire
in getting dinner. You can rest in a
cool, airy room and have your meals
served as satisfactorily as if you were
in your own home. The rates will be
reasonable. This will doubtless be
pleasing news to that large number Of
people who visit the lake every sum-
mer. In the past the one annoying
feature OF visit to this most charming
summer resort in central Washington
has been lack OF satisfactory accommo-
dations, The club house is well suited
to entertaining and is handsomely
fitted up, charmingly located and sup
Piled with those conveniences that the
public appreciate. Hot and cold
water, rooms with baths and other
home comforts.
