FACTORY NOT BEHIND
NATIONAL ENTRY AT ELGIN

When word was received at Indian
apolis that a National car is to be
entered in the Elgin road races at
Elgin, Illinois, the latter part of this
month. any knowledge of this entry
was denied at the National factories.
George NJ. Dickson, general manager,
is absent from the factory on his va
cation. Sales Manager j. NJ. Clarke
said that all he knew about the en-
try was what he-had read in the news
papers to the effect that Neil Whalen
had entered a car.
"As a factory we are not entering
cars in races any more, this season at
least since winning the 500 mile race"
said Clarke. THE rush of business
at the factory is sufficient reason for
us to focus all our energies on manu-
featuring work.
Last year the Elgin road races
were for absolutely stock cars, the
same as we sell to the public. A Ma
tional won this race, more than 300
| miles, without tire change, with a
running average of 66.4 miles per
hour. We won the worlds Stock
! Championship title with the trophy,
This title We still hold. Perhaps II
the races had been for stock cars
again this year we would have de-
Tended our title. AS it is, we have no
title there to defend. Therefore we
did not enter a car. While we cam
not suppress the enthusiasm of our
pr vate owners who so often enter
National cars in races, yet it is well
known fact that a car that has been
in the hands of a private owner for
year or more is not in perfect trim
as are cars entered fresh from the
factories in races and cannot do the
company that builds them justice.
1--WE are proud to know our private
owners take such pride in their own
ership. but at the same time we are
not cooperating in any way with the
entry of this car

SPRING A SURPRISE.
Darrow's Attorneys Decline to Cross
Examine Cooney.

Los Angeles, June 1.-THE defense
in the trial of Clarence S. Darrow for
alleged jury bribery sprang a surprise
when court sat today by declining to
cross examine Patrick j. Cooney, the
Mcnamara defense investigator"
Cooney's place on the witness stand
was taken by Keene Fitzpatrick an
other former employee of the McNa-
mara defense.
Fitzpatrick testified to having ac-
companied Bert H. Franklin on one of
the latter's visits to the home of Geo.
n. Lockwood, the prospective juror
for the alleged bribery of whom the
Chicago attorney is on trial. The wit
ness told of an automobile trip on
November 26, 1911, in company with
Cooney when they went to surrounding
towns, he said, to warn certain pros
pective jurors SO that they could avoid
service.
The direct examination of Fitzpat-
rick was concluded within ten minutes
and Chief Counsel Rogers of the de-
fense took the witness for cross ex-
animation. Only a few questions con-
corning F'itzpatrick's relations with
Franklin were asked by Rogers before
the witness was excused.

GATORS ON WAY
Two Monster Animals From
Florida Tomorrow.
Gifts From O. e. Walker in
Gage Park Lake.

Two slit-faced alligators, eight feet
long and weighing 200 pounds each
will arrive in Topeka tomorrow
morning. This evening workmen will
complete their new Kansas home at
Gage park. Sunday it will be up to
the park lovers of Topeka to go to
the Gage zoo and christen the new
arrivals-the city officials insist on
only one name and that is walker -
The other gator, lady animal, can
sires.
The new attractions for Gage park
have been purchased by o. E. Walk
er of Topeka-a man who has spent
the last few years in working for To-
peka parks. Mr.. Walker personally
picked out the two alligators that are
on their way to the Topeka zoo. He
bought them at st. Augustine, Fla,
at the South Beach Alligator Farm
and Museum of Marine Curiosities.
One of the Gage park alligators is
lady gator and the other a gentle
man gator. They are many years
old-Mr. Walker does not have their
birth certificates. But they are eight
feet long and weigh 200 pounds each
therefore they are out of their
teens.
Mr.. Walker gives his personal as
many years in captivity that they will
not bite" he says But the city
placed an iron railing around a big
cement pond and parking at the
Gage zoo. No chances on observers
losing their legs and arms will be
taken by the commissioners. City
Park Commissioner Stotts says his
budget is too small the way it 1s-he
has no money to pay for alligator in
juries.
The new pond is located in the an
gle of the greenhouse in Gage park.
The cement tank is 20 feet long and
IL feet wide. A sandy beach sur
rounds it. The alligators will be fed
fish, scraps and anything that specta-
tors wish to give them. They love-
panamas and parasols.
The aIligators are not the only new
attractions scheduled for Gage park
soon Mr.. Walker has sent to New
York for % monkeys. The cage is
being built When it is completed
the monkeys will be shipped at once.
Then there is another little surprise
at Gage park. Probably 1t isn't prop
er to let out the news-Mrs. Deer may
not like it, Most of the city hall men
know it anyway, so here goes. This
is the secret-sh-h-h a whis-
per. please-six little deer will open
their eyes for the first time in Gage
park soon-already there are four.
They will make a totcl of 26 deer in
the reserve.
OF course you have heard about the |
buffalo born about one week ago

HE SAW MAN RUN
Big Ungainly Man Believed
Slayer of HudsOns.
Bloody Pick Found Under
PaOIa Restaurant.

Paola, Kan, June 1.-THE bloody
pick used to murder Rollin Hudson
and wife the night of June 5 was
found under a restaurant this morn
| ing by Charles S. Gibson, a retired
and wealthy farmer, who owns the
ground on which the restaurant build
| ing stands. The building stands about
four feet above the ground. and the
pick was about q feet from the side
walk. There was no handle in the pick,
the imprint of fingers showing where
the murderer grasped the weapon
around the center.
The restaurant where the pick was
found is a block west of the Joseph
Longmeyer home where the kimono
was found the day following the dis
covery of the bodies of Hudson and
wife. The Longmeyer home is three
doors west of the Hudson cottage.
Gibson was painting the restaurant
pick under the building, but thought
little of it. Saturday he went down
and took a look at it. He didn't no.
tice the blood and put it back under
the building. Sunday w. M. Gibson,
a Kansas City detective and brother
of Charles, came down to Paola.
Charles told him about the pick.
The two made an examination and
noticed the blood. They took it to
the sheriff's office. 1t is a tamping
pick such as is used on railroad con-
struction work and was stolen a block
and half from the Hudson home.
The sheriff had ordered the weeds
and grass about the Longmeyer home
cut this morning in the hope that the
weapon might be found. 1t was only
few minutes after the order was is
sued that Gibson made his discovery.
The order will be carried out in the
hope that other discoveries may be
made.
The Akron, o., man sought, accord
ing to those questioned, was tall, un-
calmly, wore a dark blue suit of
clothes and straw hat. This is the
same man seen to go up to the porch
where the Hudsons were sitting that
fatal Wednesday night, talk a minute
and go into the house with them.
He Saw a Man Run.
W. NJ. Dugan, an operator at the
Frisco signal tower, saw a man run
ming south on the railroad track at
1890 a. m. last Thursday. Dugan
saw him stumble over switching rod
near the tower and fall. The man
wore a dark suit and straw hat. He
was tall and ungainly. The last Dugan

freight train probably took him out
of the city a few minutes later.
When this man went to the Hudson
home he spoke to the couple. accord

That was the last seen of the mys-
terious stranger. 1t was the last seen
of the Hudsons until their bodies were
found in bed Thursday. On the table
when the officers arrived after the

table the night before and went over
