NO DEATH BENEFITS
PAID TO WIDOWS

The witness here plunged into another
long narrative of how he had gone up
stairs and seen Kenney and Gustin on
the floor with doctors working over them.
He told about the sick benefits of the
Moose order, which were 81 per day, and
that the initiation fee was S. during the
time Kenney and Gustin entered the or
der. He said the widows of the dead
men had received no death benefits, al
though at the time Kenney and Gustin
were killed the Moose order paid 500 in
death benefits.
He said that he did not consider that
kenney and Gustin were members of
the Moose order and were therefore not
entitled to anything. However, he stated
that the Moose order was very regretfu.
OF the tragic accident and would do all
in Its power to alleviate the condition of
the widows He said that the Moose or
der now paid no death benefits. but 500
funeral expenses. Witness also stated
that he had been denoted as supreme
dictator CT the state of Alabama since
the deaths of Kenney and Gustin and also
said that it was probably due to that
Tact that he owned his demotion.
Mr.. Jacobs started again: "Now Mr..
Northcutt, as you were cutting weiner-
wurst downstairs in the buffet and none
of the regular officers of the lodge were
directing any of the initiation work, and
everything as you stated was a hit and
miss affair; and there was 175 men in the
hall all waiting to get at the first candi-
date that appeared, don't you think that
gross carelessness was exhibited by the
lodge officers and by you?''
Mr.. Northcutt evaded Mr.. Jacobs ques-
tion for several minutes. but was finally
pinned down, and acknowledged that the
lodge and he were at fault.

Mr. Northcutt. who stated that on

After being in executive session for
over 80 minutes the coroner's jury that
is investigating the deaths of Donald
A. Kenney and Christopher C. Gustin
adjourned at 6:05 o'clock last night
until o'clock this morning to examine
more witnesses. 1t had been expected
that as the coroner's jury had held
other executive sessions during the

nounced but at the instance of a juror
other witnesses will be examined to
clear up certain technical points. The
verdict of the jury is expected this
afternoon.
Throughout yesterday many wit

difficulty was met in getting members
of the Moose order to tell of the hap

that Kenney and Gustin were initiated
The officers of the Moose order were
recalled but the usual answer to ques-
tions was: Il don't know" However,

HAL CHASE PUTS
GINGER AND PEP
INTO WHITE SOX

~ HICAGO, ILL, June 2S.-Hal
Chase. former Yankee. now a
member Of the Sox team. has
certainly done much to aid the Chi
cago American League team. Hal
has Fingered up the bunch in great
style and taught the boys some new
tricks
Chase is surely out to make good.
There isn't man on the South Side
squad. who is displaying more pep
per- more ginger more determine
ton. There isn't one of the Sox play
ers who is more enthusiastic.
Some one said that Chase had re-
NAMED in New York three years too
long. 1t may have been only one or
two. But that fellow had the right
angle
1T was of Chase that we intended
to speak. You know he has made
a tremendous hit, not only with Man
ager Callahan but with every fellow
on the team. The stories which pre-
coded the first sacker were none too
reassuring. The New York papers
were panning him. But when Hal got
in action the fellows began to sus-
pect that maybe there might be some
defense
One thing was certain. That was
that he wanted 10 make good. And
then another quality asserted itself.
That was that he had the ability
to make good his ambition. And
when desire and ability spur on he's
likely to land.
CHASE and Lord are Of a kind.
- There isn't anything conservative
about either. Let them play the
game as they will and they'll play
hit and run ninety-nine times out of
a hundred and kick because the con-
ditions demand a bunt on the last.
Any time that Rsth gets on. it's
hit and run. And If Lord comes
through then the SoX are in a posi-
ton to score some runs Because
its pretty much Of a cinch that
Chase and Lord also will play that
game.
It's the dashing game when Lord
and Chase work together and they
succeed because Hal is credited with
being as sure to hit when he once
gives the sign as any man in the
American League.

DROME NOTES
. HE next meet at the Atlanta
Motordrome Is set for Fourth

tn HE next meet at the Atlanta
Motordrome is set for Fourth
of July night. OF course it's an
awful risk to schedule two we'll
known rain makers like the Fourth
of July and Jack Prince for the same
evening. But the chance is worth
taking, just once a year, anyhow
And if there can't be racing Friday
night there's always Saturday night
following right along after.
The program for the holiday bill
has not been decided on yet, but it
appears that there will be another
match race which will separate the
two stars from the rest of the herd
and two grand scrambles for the rest
Of the bunch.
Billy Murphy tells this one on
Georges Renel, the French star at the
Atlanta Motordrome:
Georges is addicted to walking in
his sleep. He awoke early one morn
ing, to find himself in the grasp of an
officer.
Hold onl" Hold on!" cried the
famous Motordrome star you
mustn't arrest me-I'm a somnam-
bulist!"
"Oi don't care whether you're a
sol-lambulist or prestidigitator," said
officer MCDermott-"you can't walk
the streets in yer nightshirt!"
Yes, reader and others, Jack
Princes middle name really is Shil-
lington.
81 ran across an old friend of yours
to-day" remarked Wilmer Richards,
the Motordrome prince.
will he recover" asked Colonel
Mike Levy
New sweaters have been ordered for
the Drome drivers. They are of va
rious brilliant colors and huge num-
bers are knitted on the backs. These
are designed to make it easier for the
spectators to differentiate the riders
while the races are in progress.
No, Clarice. the word Drome used
in this connection refers to Motor
drome, not hippodrome.
When a rider is going full speed
and shuts off his engine he can keep
the track for a distance of about 300
feet. If he tries to stay up longer
on the sharp bank he topples over
on his head.
Harry Glenn-I was out motoring
the other day.
Harry Swartz-So?
Harry Glenn-Yes; and I came to
a river, but could find no means of
getting my machine across.
Harry Swartz-Well, what did you
do?
Harry Glenn-Oh, 1 just sat down
and thought it over.
In order to get a line on speed in
miles per hour made by the motorcy-
clists the following figures are inter
esting:
A mile in 80 seconds equals y miles
an hour.
A mile in as seconds equals so
miles an hour.
A mile in 40 seconds equals 80
miles an hour.
mile in SO seconds equals 100
miles an hour.
A mile in 80 seconds equals 12O
