hours of last Sunday, when he put the

Panama Pacific road race on July 4
from Los Angeles to Sacramento. when
he took sixth place. He was accom-
panied Sunday by Charles Gilmore, also
connected with the local Pope estab-
lishment
Fleming checked out of First street
and Broadway. Oakland. at 3:55 o'clock
in the morning for the purpose of hav-
ing clear field AS he cleared the
outskirts of Oakland he had enough
daylight to enable him to do without
his lights. Immediately he put the ear
at full speed and the test race was on.
He sped out over the Foothill boule-
ward. through Castro valley and into
Dublin canyon. Racing over the roads
at daredevil speed, Fleming and the
Pope Hartford car swung out of the
canyon and headed straight for Stock
ton at an S5 mile an hour clip. The rs
miles to the Mill city was negotiated
in hour 3S minutes
The well known driver figured that
he would make his best time between
Stockton and Sacramento. and he Ger
tainly did. The road between these
two cities is laid out on a long stretch.
with plenty of opportunities for fast

Pope Hartford covered it in AZ minutes
nat In places the dare devil" driver
had the car racing at a 80 mile clip
We had to hurry toward the end of
the trip, said Fleming because the
cold morning delayed us unexpectedly
at the start. 1t was SO cold that our

miles and we could not show any great
speed Then little later we met with

KNOX CAR COMPLETES
20 MILES ON ONE GALLON
Performance Remarkable for SIX CyIin-
der Machine and Record Is Be-
Ifeyed to BE Established

A six cylinder Knox car, so horse
power. won first position among water
cooled cars in the recent economy con-
test held under the auspices of the
automobile club of Springfield, Mass.
The Knox was equipped with a Rayfield
carburetor, and il is rather significant
that it covered more than 20 miles on
one gallon Of gasoline, a record that is
about 100 per cent above the normal for
six cylinder cars.
The report is authentic and official
as the contest was under the super
vision of the Three A contest commit
tee, the only body that can sanction
such an announcement. The perform
ance is a remarkable one for a large
six cylinder car, and it is not only be-
1ieved TO be a worlds record for cars
OF this class but an achievement that
will remain a record for some time to
come.

Indianapolis TO this city, not alone be-
cause Of the endurance test which is

being kept of the trip showing grades,
dangerous passes, places for accommo-

The Roosevelt Progressive party next

Systematically subordinates working
men to them and to plans made by the
government both with regard to wages
and with regard to employment. Says
he:
Take the thing as a whole, and
it looks strangely like economic

fortunes of those who do the daily
work of the nation and all this un-
der the overwhelming power and
sovereignty of the national govern

The man who is leading the new

With regard to the money trust, Mr..
Wilson writes:

uyities are in the hands of a few
men, who, even if their actions be

country is a monopoly of credit.
So long as that exists, our old va
riety and freedom and individual

Mr.. Wilson also alleges that mo-

JUNK DEALER SHOT
N REVOLVER DUEL
Believed Murderer was Thief
Who Had Dealings
With the Man.

Chicago. Jan. 16.-Max Mansfield, g
junk dealer from whose shop stolen
goods have been recovered many
times recently. was shot and killed to.

| to believe that his slayer is a thie1
with whom the junk man had deal.
ings.
Within the last few weeks five OF
six men have called at the criminal
court building and examined records
of receiving stolen goods. This cou-
pied with the fact that valuables
Mansfield carried in his pockets were
not disturbed, gave rise to the police
theory.
The junk mans shop was strongly
fortified against invaders Every win
dow was nailed down and fastened on
the inside with strips of sheet iron. A
room in which Mansfield slept could
be locked from the inside so that none
could gain admission without tearing
down the door.
Mansfield met death in a revolver
duel. His slayer. who escaped with
out beign identified. entered the shop
about noon and a few minutes later
he and the junk man. both carrying
revolvers in their hands. emerged
from the shope. Mansfield reeled and
fell. He had been shot through the
heart.
Members Of a fire company whose
station adtoined the junk shop. pur-
sued the slayer. who still held his re-
volver in his hands, for half mile
through the streets. He finally dart
ed into an alley and disappeared.
In some respects the murder was
similar to that of ]. H. Logue. a dia-
mond merchant. who was slain in his
office in the McVicker theater build
ing December 20. A police theory of
the murder is that he was killed by
crooks whose secrets he knew.
