of his revolver proved more than a
highwayman could control, and when
they began to break away at the ends
of the line the bandit commenced shoot
ing. After fatally wounding a boy and
barely missing several men the bandit
turned and ran, with his intended VIC
tins at his heels. He was overtaken
two blocks away.
The attempted hold-up took place
not far from the new Union Station.
number Of men were standing on
the corner enjoying the afternoon sun
when the robber. who told the police
his name is d. r. Leeper. sauntered
along.
Hands up, everybody Leeper said,
flourishing a revolver. All obeyed an
order to line up against the side Of a
building. Leeper took off his hat and
down the line he started. with a COM
mand for everybody to "shell out" At
that instant two or three men at the
end jumped from the line and ran.
Leeper began shooting.
A bullet passed through the lungs

a saloonkeeper, was grazed bv a bullet
and one man received a bullet hole
through his hat.

) Many Applications.
Applications for admission to the
Princeton alumni smoker of March 3,
in honor Of President-elect Wilson, are
coming So rapidly that the committee
in charge is embarrassed. From Con-
gressmen. Senators. and others high in
the councils Of the nation and soon to
be close to Mr.. Wilson, come the daily
requests for admission. As the smoker
Will accommodate only the Princeton
alumni. the committee mas been forced
TO refuse these applications.
Chairman NJ. ]. Weller, angered at
the stories circulated throughout the
country saying that Washington will
gouge inaugural guests. has added COM
ment on the situation, which he so
clearly showed by figures a few days
ago in The Times is not of a hold-up
nature. He says:
1T is time that such reports were
stopped. There is no basis for them.
The reports are entirely mischieyous.
and II is q shame that the reputation
of Washington should be harmed In
this way. We will show the people of
the country that Washington can enter
tain large crowd without gouging
them"
Sufficient Accommodations.
He declares, further, that sufficient
accommodations for all, and at reason
able rates. are listed with his COM
mittee.
Nevertheless the war of the out-of-
town correspondents goes merrily on
No steps have been taken by the in
augural committee to check the reports
now going out of the city. Some of
the Sunday stories were especially
vitriolic. Brooklyn paper devoted
about two columns to a story, declar-
ing that Washington has the harpoon

Charles stevens Talks.
Charles Stevens, introduced by Y r.
Stiles as the spark plug president Of
the Auto club" followed Mr. Bullard-
He said that the dealers ought TO take
up the race and raise most Of the
purse, but that he would say for the
Auto club that each member would
pledge 81 for the purse and by OctO-
Der there would be 500 members Be
fore he finished the president Of the
Auto club took a hot shot at the -tighu
Wads who refused TO join the CLUB
He told of one auto owner who was
worth more than half million yet
said he could not afford to belong 10
the club, and another wealthy car
owner who had resigned from the
club.
President Stiles closed the meeting
by saying that the chamber OF com

Mr. Billiard cited an instance where

put up a $1,000 cup for the winner OF
the Los Angeles race and Wnlcn cost

putting up as much for the FL Paso
run as 1t does for any other run. IT
puts up only $1,000, he said, for the
Los Angeles race and the same for the
san Diego race The starting cities
and intervening towns put up addi-
rOnal purses, just as FL PaSO and in
IerFenlng towns are asked to do for
this race. He declared that FL Paso
had the best road of the three and
that he be GCved the III PasO to PnOs-
nix race was destined TO attract more
entries than either of the others. He
declared that if FL PasO pulled off the
first one, it would always pull off the
others; that they would naturally be-
come annual events He said half OF

As for the advertising the race would

not be calculated in dollars and it
would be impossible to buy it. He
SAYS he figured up with the Los An
geles Times automobile editor a year
ago that Los Angeles and Phoenix got
$2I5.000 worth Of advertising out of
the Los Angeles-PhOeuiX race; that it
would have required this sum of money
to buy the space the newspapers gave
to the race. He cited the big adver-

that all the big press associations all

Dividing the Prize Money.
The prize money would be divided
he explained, between the first four
cars. The Phoenix $1,000 would be di-
vided between the first four cars
reaching the fair grounds, regardless
of any other condition except that the
rules must be lived up to on the road.
1t Is probable that FL PasO'S money
viii be divided the same way. The
tween the first four cars to reach Bis
bee, provided these cars finished
through to Phoenix within a limit Of
"a hours time The first four cars
Douglas money, and the first four
reaching Tucson would divide the Tue
son money under the same condition
that these four cars finished within
the prescribed 81 hours time TO PhOe-
nix All cars must finish in the PhOc-
nix fair grounds
How They should Run.
Mr. Billiard figures that the cars,
reach Tucson the next evening and
Phoenix the second day about noon
with a nights rest at Tucson and a
o'clock start from Tucson on the
morning of the second day. If the
first night control is fixed at Doug
las, he thought the cars ought TO get
there in the afternoon of the first
day, and should then continue their
journey the second morning at 8 o'clock
and reach Phoenix along about or
4 o'clock in the afternoon.
The conditions OF the race permit a
car to use any power of lOcOmOtiOn
possible except shipment by railroad.
A driver is permitted to have his car
hauled out Of sand or mud by a team,
a traction engine or any other method,
but he must not ship on a railroad
nor must he travel over railroad
right of way All cars must keep TO
the country highways. These rules ap-
ply in the two California races.
To Arouse Local Pride.
