Ambassador Bacon's letter. in which
he announced his resignation to Pre5i-
dent Taft, was received By the Presi-
dent at Washington a few days ago.
Mr.. Bacon especially refrained from
making his retirement public, as he
desired the first announcement to
come from Harvard university, which
recently chose him to be a fellow IN
place Of Judge Lowell, deceased.
Ambassador Bacon said he wished
his friends to know that there were
no Interior motives for his resignation.

mark the event, the Rev. James d.
Moffat, d. d., LII. D., recently entered
upon the thirty-fourth year of his
presidency of Washington and Jeffer-
son college, record for length of
service and accomplishment which is
eQualed by few If any OF the college
and university presidents OF the Unit

his learning and for his business abil-
ity, former moderator of the Pres

one Of the most prominent divines of
the Presbyterian denomination, DR..
Moffat has ably kept up the standing
of the famous old school here which
in its more than century of history
has gained a wide reputation as q
classical institution of the highest
order.
DR.. Moffat was born in New Lisbon.

schooling he entered Washington and

as soon as the people to set it up and
install it arrive it can be heard daily
at their place. 1t plays mechanically

is a regular orchestra in itself. There
are only four to be installed in the

it was purchased. and one is, already
in use at theatre in Dallas.
The Dixie management has re-
ceived notice that the man is on his
way to install it, and when it is ready
for the public it is safe to say that

GALVESTON AUTO RACES
Big Crowds Present and Some Great
Speed Records Being
Made.

Galveston, Texas, Aug. S.-There
does not seem to be the slightest
doubt that new worlds straightaway
records will be hung up at the Gal
weston Cotton Carnival automobile
races which begin here today and
continue until Saturday. The events
for the last three days of this week
are the last big races until the Grand
Prize events in the fall. Although the
sprint records for the mile and two
mile distances, now held by Burman,
probably will not be eclipsed, there
are some long-distance marks which
should surely fall
The 200-mile free-for-all, the fea-
ture event of the meet, will be run
as the grand climax, in which $3.50
will be split up as prizes. Inasmuch
as this one race for the largest sum
of prize money ever offered for a
single beach event has attracted
practically the fastest long-distance
cars now racing, worlds records are
bound to be splintered. 1t will be re-
called that the late Tobin de Hymel
established the worlds 200-mile mark
on Galveston beach August 5. 1910,
covering the distance in 1872 minutes.

broken by Louis Disbrow in the Hum
mer. specially built racer, in 1884 ~
at Pablo Beach, Fla, nearly half an
hour faster Disbrow himself admits,
however, that this mark can be bet
tered by some of the fast craft now
on the speedways. In the 2OO-mile
free-for-all most contestants will try
for intermediate records from twenty
five miles up. Burman holds the
worlds 50-mile mark at Pablo, his
time being 35:52:31. At Daytona he
made the 100-mile worlds mark in
1:12:45. Between 100 and 800 miles
holds all records.
The races are to be run over a COM

DEMOCRATS TO FIGHT
ROOSEVELT PARTY

New York. Aug S.-Things began
humming at the national headquar-
tiers of the democratic party here to-
day, and from now until next NOvem-
Der when the national election takes
place every effort will be exerted to
snow under Colonel Roosevelt and his
third party movement. The leaders
of the party who met with Governor
Wilson yesterday at the notification
of the governor of his nomination
discussed the progressive party in de.
tail and it has been decided to carry
out the original plan to direct much
OF the democratic strength against
the former president.
Senator-elect Ollie James of Ken
lucky says he is free to admit that
his party considers Roosevelt strong
campaigner, and that is why Colonel
Bryan and other big men are planning
to follow in Roosevelt's wake as he
travels through the various states dur
ing his campaign. The democrats be-
lieve firmly, however. that with all
the strength of the ex-president, they
have the advantage of things in the
three-cornered fight being waged this
year. They are going to make the
tariff and the trusts the big issue,
and. says Manager McCombs, with
the means and men that we shall
have to help in the campaign, Gov
ernor Wilson will surely be elected
next fall"
