The Woolwich tunnel opened by Lord
Cheylesmore Saturday is the fourth made
n recent years under the Thames. The
question of providing means of crossing
the river below London bridge attracted
attention for many years before any
scheme was actually put in operation. In

ommons was appointed to consider the

Canada to Be Represented.

Those who will present papers and
lead the discussions represent fourteen
different states and one Canadian prov
1nce. That these subjects are to be pre-
sented by those who are competent to
speak upon them is indicated by the fact
that eight of the authors of papers and
discussions are among those selected to
present papers from this country at the
International Road Congress to be held
in London in June 1913
while the American Road Builders
Association believes that there is a gen
eral awakening to the Importance of
road Improvement, and does not attempt
propaganda work to further stimulate
this interest, it believes that public az
tention should be directed to the folly of
mourning debt for d long term OF years
to pay for road surfaces which will be
worn out long before they are paid for
such a method of financing road i'm
provements may be justified under GER
tain circumstances, but it is believed
that the general adoption of such a policy

frankly discussed at the coming meet

FEW new RECORDS
CREATED THIS YEAR
wild Bob" Burman Leads
Field With Forty-Three
Starts.

The year 1912 was not productive of
many new automobile racing records. New
worlds figures were created at the Santa
Monica, Cal, road races May i by Teddy
Tetzlaff in a Fiat, while Joe Dawson in
his National set UP new figures by Win
ming the sOO-mile race at the Indianapolis
motor speedway. Spencer E. Wishart in
Mercer appeared for the first time at
the wheel of an American car at Column
bus, Ohio, August %. and carried off first
honors in the 200-mile race. He establish
ed new figures on a mile dirt track for %,
| 100, $50 and 30 miles,
The close of the years racing season
| finds wild Bob Burman leading the
field, with forty-three starts, finishing first
thirty-three times and winning eight sec
| ond places. He has clean slate when
it comes to finishing third in racing
events. Last year Ralph De Palma led
the string of drivers. The first ten speed
pilots in the list last year were: Ralph
De Palma, Louis Disbrow. Bob Burman.
Hughie Hughes. Howard E.. Wilcox, MerZ.
Raimey, kulick, Tower and Billy Knip-
per. This year they are Burman, Disbrow,
J. Nikrent. Kyle. Raimey, Whalen, Ring
Ter, Lewis, Barber and Menker.
Burman heads the list by reason of the
fact that he has started more times than
the others. The name of Barney Oldfield
i reappears this year, after a lengthy dis
qualification. Many well known drivers
are far down on the list. kulick, who
drove in twenty-five races last year. does
not appear in the 1912 list, owing to the
withdrawal of the Ford company from
racing. Billy kniprer only drove in one
race in 1912. Joe Dawson, who won the
;OO-mile race at Indianapolis in a Ma
| tional, drove in no other event. Last year
he was at the wheel of Marmon in
three events, and all his previous racing
experience had been in cars of that make.
In 1910 he came into prominence. by win
ming five of the biggest victories of the
year.

FOLK TELLS NEBR.ASdNNS

ST Louis. Feb i2.-Joseph w Folk
today asked friends in Nebraska not
to consider him as a presidential can
didate declaring he is pledged 10
Speaker Champ Clark.
The request followed the receipt of
a telegram from T.. r. Ericsen of
Bristow. Neb.. in which he said he
had filed a petition with the secre-
tary of state asking that Folks name
be placed on the ballot for democratic
presidential candidate before the
April primaries. The telegram end
ed with this statement;
Folk sentiment is strong in Ne
braska. especially among the Bryan
men and feel confident you will
win
Mr.. Folk replied.

est but as I am not csndidate for

more convention, making 1t possible
for the sending of an instructed dele
cation from New Mexico for the cam
didate most likely to win. A poll Of
the committeeman present yesterday
showed the following preferences for
presidential candidates. Wilson, );
Clark. s; Harmon, Z. 1t is signifi-
cant fact that Clovis and Curry coun-
ty is veritable hot-bed for Wilson,
and that citys selection gives the Will
son advocates the first advantage.
Senator II. ]. Mabry of Clovis, is one
of the most enthusiastic Wilson sup
porters in the democratic party and
the majority of the democratic leaders
in Curry county are aligned with him
in his support of the New Jersey gov
ernor. The news that Clovis had won
the convention was telegraphed there
and the town Immediately held pub
lie jollification to celebrate the vie
tory.
The Clark sentiment among mem
bers of the committee was practically
as strong as was that for Wilson ana
the Missourian tied Wilson in the
straw vote taken. 1t would perhaps
be safe to say that Wilson Just now
is the first choice of the New Mexico
democracy for president with Champ
Clark second choice. Just what turn
sentiment will take when the state
convention is held is problematical as
between these two candidates. There
are those who insist that an unin-
structed delegation will be sent 10
Baltimore by the democrats.
Following the election OF the new
chairman, the members OF the eNecu-
tive committee of the state central
committee rendered their designations
to Chairman Hudspeth. that he might
be free to act as he wishes in the Sc
lection of new executive committee.
This action was merely a for0aal one
and established by precedent of long
standing.
Mr.. Hudspeth, the new chairman, Is
one of the best known democrats in
New Mexico. He is lawyer and was
a member of the constitu'~--"' con-
vention, being the titular leader of the
in that convention and in
the last legislature He is rated a
shrewd politician and an indefatig-
able worker.
