DETROIT. Aug 1.-Mullin was not hi,
hard today. but the Washingtons man
aged 10 make their safeties when theiT
pals were waiting and copied the game
by to 3. In the third inning Shanks
stepped into one OF Mullins curves, eyI-
IDENTITY expecting IL to be fast straight
one. and was knocked unconscious. He
was carried off the field, but revived
soon and will be in the game tomorrow.
The sixth inning was marked by the
reversal of a decision. Ty Cobb stealing
home, was touched out, but Williams
dropped the ball. Connolly stuck TO his
decision, but the Tigers made such an
uproar that Connolly, after a consulta-
tloa with Hart, reversed his decision.

IN UTE. Mont. Aug. Ma rtin
~ Nathanson. racing secretary on
the Intermountain circuit and one
IL of the best known race track men
In America. is missing. He was
to have taken up his duties at the local
| track this afternoon, but has failed to
| put In an appearance.
| Nathanson was seen by friends yester-
Iday morning, but he has disappeared
completely and It is feared that he has
met with foul play. When he failed TO
appear In the Judges, stand today, Cen
eral Manager II. ]. Wilson automatically
announced that Nathanson had resigned.
Nathanson has never been a drinking
himself from his duties, Manager VII
son of the Butte association and other
officials here have had searching parties
out all day. but as yet no trace of the
missing man has been found.
Salt Lake patrons OF the Lagoon track
understood that Nathanson would not
return to the Lagoon as racing secretary
and assistant Judge. Nathanson has
never been popular on this racing cir
cult, but General Manager Hugh /. Will
son has great respect for Nathanson's S
ability as hsndIcapper Many racing men
do not share Wilson's opinion in this
respect.
Nathanson at the Lagoon last year was
running very close to the outside rail,
was not announced as the winner. Nine
turtles out OF ten believed that Beatrice
Soule won and there We're shouts OF dis
approval when the number of another
horse was hung up. Idenucally the same
thing happened at the Montana meeting
a few days later, Again il was Beatrice
Soule, running close to the outside rail-,
and a big majority OF spectators We're
sure she had won. but Nathanson de-
clded otherwise. An angry demonstra-
| ton followed These two incidents
added to his lack of popularity.
NathansoD is also held responsible In
the opinion OF most racing men for kill
! Ing the game in Arkansas.
At the beginning OF the recent Lagoon
meeting Nathanson lived at the Semloh
but he soon moved to some location not
known 10 his acquaintances here
| Nathanson has earned from s25 a day
ing official He recently served as
steward at Charleston and was assistant
| judge for n short time at Columbia. He
is about so years old, slight OF build
and with the face Of an ascetic. He Is
victim of dyspepsia and Manager Will
for Nathanson's frequent displays OF III
temper.
Nathanson must be comparatively rich
for he has always been frugal being
one of the few mon about race tracks
who seldom made wager and who
saved his money.
During a part Of the Lagoon meeting
his daughter was hero with him. but
she went away before the meet ended
Nathanson calls San Francisco his home
and TURTLES familiar with his relations
with Wilson believe that Nathanson,
when he learned that his employment
would terminate at the close OF the
Anaconda meeting. became angry and
simply packed up and left without bid
ding anyone goodbye.

ADOPTION Of PARK
PLAN FOR CAPITAL
Congressman, Once Oppo-
nent of Identification,
Changes Views.
tConntinued from Page Fourteenl

on the part of great Government people
to discuss It's value or the propriety OF
adopting 1t. although some of our eager
young friends may have thought so. We
must remember that the men In Con-
gress who We're charged with such a
great responsibility as the carrying out
of radical plan for a territory two
and one-half. miles long in the heart
of the Capital, need to know and under
stand before committing the Govern
ment TO great expenditures, or the exc
cution before the eyes of the entire
world of a scheme avowedly intended
to surpass all others of the sort ever
carried out by the hands of man. 1
say, no wonder that leading men ir
Congress have taken tine to go thor
oughiy into this matter. they ought to
nave done SO, and should be praised,
not blamed. for ii.
The general public, however, has not
been In the same position as the legis-
iators: 1t has been free to analyze and
conclude for itself, because nc respon-
sibility and has rested on its shoulders,
and II has concluded that the 1901 plan
or the Mall Is to be. nay, is, the plan
OF Washington: every intelligent citi-
zen is confidently looking forward to
an early and plenary adoption of 1t by
the Government
l hope and believe that the time for
this has come, and l am justified in
this hope, because a year ago the most
eminent man In the House of Eepreser-
tatives-he who has peen said to be OPP
posed to the plan merely because he
could not be pushed into action be-
fore his judgment was forned-said to
me, The plan you men made in 1901
may be a good one, indeed, i think 1t
is guod one, and will go further and
say that / think it will be carried out
some day."
He then added a criticism of the
method of forming the park commission
of 1901-a method he did not approve
but this had not prevented his being
fair, open, and manly I'm forming u
judgment on the facts of the plan, ire
spective of any feeling he might have
had regarding the formation of the COM
mission. He was asked IL / might state
to others the opinion he had arrived at,
and he replied that j might do so
The L'Enfant plan lay dormant for a
hundred years. but II was the real solu-
tion of the problem and il did not die.
No truly logical diagram can or does
die IL recorded where il cannot be de-
stroyed; with increasing insistence II
comes up and asserts itself again AMI
again as time goes on, and II finally
prevails.
This viii be the case with the plan OF
the Mall.
