Ray Harroun and the Marmon Wasp, .
the classic title of winner Of the great
est race Of motordom.
With the explosive roar Of the
enormous engines, especially built for
this ultimate test Of speed and en-
durance, the cars came together at the
electric timing wire at $3.50.
There were FIVE motley ranks OF
special creations of italian, French,
German and American engineers, built
in grotesque shapes the better TO slash
the air.
In a tumult of cheering from the ex-
cited multitude, Starter Wagner let
the cars go at 10 o'clock. Raving and
straining at the leash, the cars made
one slow parade lap led by Gil Ander-
son in Stutz No. /, and coming again
to the wire leaped laundering into the
race pressing together in binding
cloud Of burned gas.

The Navy May Buy An Air Craft For
 That Purpose.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The Navy Department is lowing to the signal corps, which has announced that ae- roplanes can be used for the purpose of discovering the whereabouts and movements of submarines. It is said that experiments at Annapolis have developed the fact that the operators in the air craft can discover the pres ence of the underwater terrors with out glasses, although they may be at a considerable depth.

Matthias, of Argenta, whose injury was one of the most serious received in the wreck, was very much better to- day, and left St. Joseph's Infirmary for the home of her sister, in this city.

Her husband and two children, one nine years and the other fifteen months old, were not injured in the wreck, though the escape of the fif- teen months old child was miracul- ous.
 It is believed tonight that there will be no fatalities from the wreck. Gov ernment Inspector Hiram Anderson, is cut of danger today. Most of his wounds were about the face, and more than forty stitches we're taken i'm dressing his wounds. Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson of Denver, perhaps the most seriously injured of the passengers, is resting easily at St. Joseph's. C. R.. Williams of New York, also badly hurt
