ana All Viii Compete.

The Vanderbilt auto classics have
been postponed until the first week
in October. The Vanderbilt cup
event will be run off on Oct. 2, the
Pabst blue ribbon and Wisconsin
challenge trophies on Oct. 3, and the
Grand Prix on Oct. 5.
The decision to change the dates
was reached after a prolonged ses-
sion of the officials, drivers and mem
bers of the Milwaukee Automobile
Dealers association.
When the Vanderbilt cup race was
called off word was passed around
to the dealers and drivers to be on
hand for the meeting, when plans
would be discussed. 1t was apparent
that it would be impossible to hold
the races under present weather con-
ditions, and the dealers left it to
the drivers to name the date on
which they would be held After a
conference. the drivers chose the
dates, afterward selected. These
were agreeable to the dealers and
officials.

Jonathan Wild, Founder of the thief Trust"

was sinsularly fortunate In tracing
lost property. Most people were glad
enough to get back their belongings
without insisting on the thief's ar
rest. Wild grew rich, bought big
house and was highly respected. He
even added smuggling as a side line"
to his business.
He managed to get thieves wholly in
his power by hunting up evidence
which (should he place it in the hands
of the law) would hang them. By held
ing this threat over their heads, Wild
made the great army Of crooks give
him slavish obedience and deal exclu-
sively with him. 1t was a regular
Trust" Once in awhile some stub
born rogue would disobey an order
or would refuse to dispose of his booty
through the trusts agency. Then Wild,
as reputable citizen, would lay his
evidence before the police and would
help personally In the capture. Some
times these arrested slaves of his
would turn on him. His body, In fact.
was covered with wounds, and In one
tussle his skull was fractured. But
these cases OF rebellion were uncom-
mon.
Robbery throye as never before. AT
last parliament was forced to pass a
law making it felony for any one
to take money on pretense OF restor-
ing stolen goods unless he should also
produce the thief Wild was rich
enough to have retired, but the spirit
Of graft was too strong for him. Hith-
erto he had been on the right side OF
the law. Now he found himself on the
wrong side of It, He continued to
wiring thieves ill-earned money from
them and to betray such as failed to
follow his orders. At last, in 1875, he,
was arrested, tried, convicted and SEN
fenced to be hanged.
AS the hangman's cart bore him to
Tyburn (London's place Of execution)
the crowd mobbed him, yelling "Ju-
das!" and stonlng the trembling old
rascal, leaving little work for the ex-
ecutioner to do when the cart al last
reached Tyburn.

Of the cueerest monopoly on record
a Thief Trust"
Wild was born in 1852. He was Bir-
mingham buckle-maker by trade and
came to London as young man to i'm
prove his fortune. A life of dissipa-
ton quickly landed him in prison for
debt. There he stayed four years, be-
coming acquainted with almost every
thief in London and gaining a strong
ln1uence over most of them. BY the
time hye had scraped together enough
money to buy his freedom he
had already outlined his fu-
ture career. He saw that crooks
never really succeed in life. So he
decided to stay technically" honest,
and to profit by others crimes. Rent
Ing a low waterside tavern, he made
friends with more outcasts and at last
had large enough following TO take
up the profession he had planned.
Calling to him number OF notoli-
GUS thieves, Wild made them a lit
tie speech. He explained that the
new laws had made life hard for rob-
be-s. Theft WAS not only hanging Of
fense," but the receivers of stolen
goods were 30 closely watched that
they dared not do business. So he
suggested an improvement on the cid
methods Any one committing theft
was to come a. once to Wild and tell
all about T.. Wild in turn was to get
to the person robbed, ard on the lat
ter's promise to ask no questions, was
to offer to return the stolen articles
In payment Of substantial reward.
This reward he would give to the thief
In exchange for the plumber, keeping
one-third of the money as his own com
mission.
1t was simple arrangement. The
victim would get back his property
by paying a certain sum; the thieves
would make more money than by deal
ing with regular receivers" or
fences" Wild, with no danger to
himself. would reap a tidy commission
on every robbery.
From the first his business prosper
ed. He himself stole nothing, nor did
he in any way come within reach of
the law. A house, for instance. would
be robbed Of $4,000 worth of valuables.
Wild would go TO the owner and tell
him that for 5000 be would find the
lost goods. The money was paid and
the goods were returned Wild clear
ing $500 on the deal The work was
profitable to him and to the thieves
alike. BY IKE world at large he was
regarded as a shrewd detective. who

far to the westward
Eric was uncertain how long Green
land might prove safe asylum fer
him, and he was ever eager to find
new haunts for loot and pillage. So
he decided to explore this strange
westward country and establish col
ony there. In the year 1000 A. D.. or
Whereabouts, he bsde his son Lief to
join in the expedition.
Lief was wellnigh as fiery and brutaE
as his father, but he had many finer
qualities as well. He was high in the
service of King Olaf of Norway aRd
was known as "The Kings Guards
man" His constant good fortune had
also won for him the nickname of
Lief the Lucky" Like the rest of
King Olafs court, he had embraced
Christianity, forswearing the heather
Morse gods and forcing his followers
to do the same. Eric was furious at
his sons conversion. A fierce quar-
rel arose between the two, but their
differences we're at last patched up
end they made ready for their joint
voyage OF discovery.
AS the Vikings FASTENED down to the
waiting ships Eric rode at their head.
His horse, according to the story
stumbled and threw him just as they
reached the waters edge. To Eric's
superstitious mind this seemed an
omen of disaster. He refused to go
on the expedition and sent Lief as Its
commander This filled the Vikings
with joy, for they hated Eric and loved
his gallant son.
After a long sail westward Lief
came to a gloomy. cloud-wrapped coun-
try (probably Newfoundland anu
sailed southwark, looking for less for

is supposed to have landed somewhere
along the southeastern New England
coast. The place seemed a paradise
to these men from the bleak north.
The soil was rich and verdant Wild
grapes grew everywhere. Lief, be-
cause of the multitude of grapes, call
ed the country "Vinland," or Wine
land"
Here he is supposed to have found

Greenland the news of his wonderful
discovery Other Morse colonies are
believed to have followed him to New
England, but their fate and their very
existence Is shrouded in doubt.
