Gloom as thick the fog that hung
over the lake front and the Milwaukee
river settled down on the crowds of
race visitors at the downtown hotels
last night The question of the
weather seemed to be the sole topic
under discussion.
After the Pabst and Wisconsin tro-
ply races for small and medium cars
had been postponed today until Tues
day because of the condition OF the
course. II was intimated that the Van
derbilt race might be run OF Sun
day The officials in charge or the
meeting. however issued an announce
ment IN which it was said that the
Vanderbilt event would be run of to-
day unless a heavy rain occurred
Some Of the drivers gave 1T as their
opinion that the heavy cars entered
in the contest would wear the course
into extremely hazardous condition
before one-half Of the scheduled 2s6
miles had been raced. Others were
more optimistic and said they believed
the course would stand up under the
terrific grind providing il was baked
by a hot sun this morning and also
providing there was no more rain.

PROBABLY A BLUEBEARD.
Lawton Brown, Negro, Suspected Of
Twelve Murders in Atlanta.

ATLANTA, Ga. August Fin Lawton
Brown, confessed murderer, the police
believe they have a negro 'Bluebeard'
who is responsible for at least twelve
of the fifteen murders of negro women
in Atlanta during the last year. Ac-
cording to the police. Brown yesterday
made complete confession of the kill
ing of Eva Florence. a mulatto. last
November. and today detectives gathered
evidence indicating that the prisoner is
the Jack the Ripper" for whom the
police have been searching.
Since his arrest two women have
claimed Brown as husband and it is
the theory of the police that the
murderer lived with each Of his alleged
victims as wife before doing away with
them. The prisoner displays re-
markable knowledge of each of the
crimes laid to the door of the Jack
the Ripper" and in two instances is
said to have declared he was a witness
to the killing. Brown denies COM
plicity in any of the crimes except the
killing of the Florence woman.

erward. The dishes and scraps are all
gathered up in the table cloth and
thrust into the fire, SO dish washing is
absolutely avoided.
The increased demand for paper
dishes has led to much improvement in
their appearance. While the plain
white ones are satisfactory to most
people. this year has brought out some
exceedingly pretty styles with floral
and other decorative designs. A lunch
con served from these dishes, set upon
a bare table decorated with the paper
lace doilies, is attractive enough for
the most critical eye.
Perhaps the newest development of
paper utility in the home is the paper
bag cookery which is now so much
talked Of 1t has become so well es-
tablished that new enclycopedia dis
cusses the subject, going back to the
time of the Roman. when the highly
priced mullet was prepared by being
cooked in a paper envelope in order
that all Of it's juices might be pre-
served. Practically every article of
food can be prepared in paper bags
made for that purpose. and the natural
flavors and juices are so we'll pre-
served that experts praise this method
as the best cooking process.

Nicholas kept his fortune distributed in
