SEVEN KILLED AT RACES
Newark, N. J., Sept. 9.-The
death toll of the accident at the
races in the motordrome yester-
day was increased to seven today.
when Chas. Williams died in the
City Hospital There are others
who cannot recover.
The identified dead are: Viii
liams; Eddie Hasha, motorcycle
champion of the world; John Al
bright, Denver champion; Ed
Fisher, II, and Thmoas Foehner,
II. The unidentified are man
and boy.
There were 10000 people in
the motordrome when the acct
dent occurred It happened so
quickly that none can tell what
happened.
Hasha had lost his lead in his
race against Ray Seymour. He
was trying desperately to regain
it. The speed went up and up I'M
til Hasha was doing 90 miles an
hour. Then he lost control of his
machine.
What followed was sickening.
The motorcycle hurtled over the
wire netting at the top of the
speedway and rode straight over
the faces and chests of Spectators.
The end came when it crashed,

to pieces. Hasha's body was
flung into seat near the one in
which his wife had been sitting a
few minutes before.
No one knows what happened
to Albright; but it is supposed
that his machine struck some of
the wreckage of Hasha's.
The authorities are making an
investigation, which probably
will result in the curbing of mo-
torcycle racing.

OYSTER BAY. N. Y, Aug. TO-
Colonel Roosevelt had no hesltancy to-
day in admitting that many Of the
planks adopted by the Progressive party
in It's platform were Of Democratic
origin, and he also insisted that ten
years from now II would be found that
the new party had solved the race prob
lem In the only way that will really
benefit the colored people.
His attention was called to an article
by William Jennings Bryan. in which
the Democratic chieftain declared that
the Progressives had stolen all of their
good planks from the Democracy.
"Of course we have stolen all Of the
ideas from the Democrats that were
good, all except those ft for the in.
mates Of a lunatic asylum" declared
Roosevelt. after reading the matter.
Congratulated By Crew.

CONSERVATION WILL
Be MADE BIG ISSUE
BY PROGRESS|VES
Clifford Pinchot Will Lead
This Part of Fight Direct,
ed Against Wilson.

One line of attack which will be pur-
sued by the Progressive party in its
coming campaign against the Republi-
can and Democratic parties will be a
battle for the Roosevelt conservation
policy. This was made clear today by
Clifford Pinchot, who has just returned
to Washington from the Chicago con-
vention. Mr.. Pinchot will lead this part
OF the fight.
That the national conservation policy,
as preached by Roosevelt and practiced
by Pinchot would be In serious danger
In case either Mr.. Taft or Mr. Wilson
should be elected is Pinchots belief. He
does not say much about the present
Administrators conservation policy,
but what he does say Is to the effect
that the record speaks for itself, and
that IL any specific instance Is needed
to condemn the Administration, the
Ballfnger case is the one.
But 1t appears to be the studied pur-
pose Of the Progressive party men to
Ignore the President and concentrate on
Wilson.
Wilson's Open Point.
The conservation policy Of the Demo-
cratic party Pinchot finds easy Of at
more is not satisfactory to him. because,
he claims, 1t charges that enormous
tracts of land have been unnecessarily
Withdrawn.
Governor Wilson, in his speech of ac-
ceptance, said the development of
great States must not bbe stayed in
definitely to await a policy by which
Ssr Sp forests ss sGs sGs ss wsteF e can
The view Of the Pinchot people is
that whether the development of States
ts stayed for long time or for short
time, national policy for the develop
ment Of forests and water powers must
be maintained. and that, IL Governor
Wilson had his way, the forest service
would be taken from the Federal and
put into the hands Of the State gov.
ernment.
1t is along these lines that the Pro-
gressive party is going to combat bott
sentiment In favor Of conservation tc
insure its success. Mr.. Pinchot ha,
been campaigning along these lines ir
Kansas, and he believes that the result.
at the polls speak for themselves.
Is General Fight.
It is learned here also that this con
srvation attack by the Progressiv,
party will be directed not only agains
the heads Of the tickets. but ais,
against Congressman and Senators VIII,
are on record against the Roosevelt
This will include such near insur
gents as Senator Borah Of Idaho, VIII,
