NJ CHANGE IN THE
 STREET CAR SITUATION
No Further Meetings Held Between
 Warrirq Sides

The street car strike assumed no additional phases yesterday. There was no meeting held either at which the corporation commissioners at tended. or the striking carmen, but there was a session held between the rncdiatcry committee of the Merchants and Manufacturing asso- ciation and <. II. Mitchell the local operating representative of the street car company. in an attempt to get the warning sides closer together. There was no result however and the matter stood just where 1t did before Mitchell went to Los Angeles.
 There will however be more att tempts to get the two sides of the controversy together. The M. &, NJ. committee has not given up, and 1t only remains for Commissioner Jones to return from his Los Angeles busi- ness trip for the corporation com mission to again take up the matter with both sides.
 Yesterday afternoon the street car company announced it's intention of employing men regularly upon the system to run the cars, endcaVorinG to fill the places of the $1.50 per day strike breakers, with mon who will work for less. As fast as the new men are hired the strike break CTS are let out. It is the intention of the street car management it is said not to barley longer but to go to work to fill the places of the strikers permanently.
 In the meantime the strikers are resting on their oars. They insist that they have done nothing dis graceful, are grateful for the support of the citizens of Phoenix, and ask that it be continued until the strike is settled. With the assistance of the Trades Council negotiations arc being continued for an autobus line, and the automobiles that work along the runs of the street car company are doing d land office business, and are wholly unmolcsted in their traf- fife

HOW THE RACE
 WILL BE HANDLED

Next falls race will be handled with improved methods throughout. It will be recalled that last years times and checking were both bad But the weather was at fault there. The race started in a cold, windy rain. The telegraph wires all along the route were down, and the news papcrmen and families of the racers were out of their respective heads with worry over the safety and posi- tiOns of the contestants. Long will that first night be remembered in Phoenix, when crowds clustered about the wire ends hopcIcssly waiting word from the lost racers. Then the rivers flooded and further intcrfercd with the progress of the motors. So the whole affair was more Q" less balled up until the checkers had been called together.
 But this year, with the weather permitting. every ear will be checked through it's controls by wire, and every official on the race will be in formed constantly of the condition and place of each driver. Starting at midnight the first car will shoot sOuthward along the boUlcVards into the country up the hills and then down again into the valley where lies san Diego. There the cars will lie in daylight control, starting out again on the way to the desert. The start from Yuma on the last lap will he made at such time as will permit the cars finishing in the early part ot the afternoon while the crowds are great est in the grandstand. As is usual the cars will be let into the track. there to circle the last mile of the long and varied course.

POISONED FLOUR
COMING HERE
FOR TEST

HAZLEHURST, Nov. 13.-Some II
the -four in which 1t Is alleged Pat
rick Ursery put strychnine in an eff
fort to poison members of the family
Of ], G. Ross, his father inlaw, and
some of the biscuits made from this
-four will be sent to Atlanta for
analysis to-day.
S. D. Dell, attorney for Ursery, to-
day said he would make publiG
statement In his clients behalf on
Saturday. He declared a serious mis-
take had been made in accusing Ur-
sery of the poison plot.
The February Grand Jury Of JeH
Davis County is expected to investi-
gate the case. In the meantime Ur-
sery will remain in the Appling Coun-
ty jail. at Bailey, where he was taken
following his arrest, unless he Is abba
to make the $1,000 bond fixed by the
committing magistrate, He was re-
moved to Baxley because jeff Davis
County has no jail.
The Ross family is to-day out OF
danger, and even the dos which ate
some Of the poisoned biscuit, IS re-
covering.
Ursery is alleged to have pur-
chased strychnine here Ola Saturday
saying possums were eating his
chickens. This. however, he denies
although it is said three physicians
will testify to the contrary.
Feeling is running high against
Ursery, but there is no fear of at
tempted mob violence.
The Ross family on Monday morn
ing, It is stated, partook very lightly
of the biscuit prepared for breakfast,
because of a peculiarly bitter taste.
The familys dog got a good share Of
what was left. Then the dog disap-
peared and It was thought 1t was
dead The canine, however, returned
after an absence Of a day and is now
recovering.
