New Workers Ask Ulster Yacht Club
for More information.
London, May THE royal Ulster
Yacht club has received a letter from
the New York Yacht club replying to
Sir Thomas Lpton's challenge to a
race with Shamrock w. for the Amer
ica's cup, in which it is stated that
the New York Yacht club since 1902
has made radical changes in its sys-
tenn of measurements and time allow
ance- and that important changes also
have been made in the racing rules.
The letter continues:
Your reference therefore to the
regulations of the last contest govern
ing the present challenge leaves IN
certain whether you mean chal-
lenge for match sailed with or with
out time allowances and if with time
allowances, whether you propose ii
to be sailed under the New York
Yacht club system of measurement
and time allowance and under regula,
lions of 1902, which governed the last
contest, but which are not in force al
the present time"
The letter concludes by asking for
information on these points, "as it is
essential that our committee be in
formed of the specific nature of the
match proposed before it can take
any action on the challenge"

STRANGER KILLED
SEEMS IMPOSTOR
Beggar Struck by Rock Island
Train in Davenport Not
Identified.

An east bound passenger train on
the Rock Island road struck an I'M
known man at Third and Davies street,
Davenport, shortly after noon yester-
day. The body was hurled from the
right of way and death was appar-
emily instantaneous. The engineer
saw the man on the track and warned
him with the whistle, but either be-
cause of deafness or for some other
reason he stuck to the right of way
till the train was upon him. The
body was brought to the station by
the train crew.
Papers in the mans pockets indicate
he had been going under the name of
John Widmar, of unknown residence.
weighed about 1S5 pounds. There was
book in his pocket in which was
statement from a Rochester, Mimi,
physician stating that the bearer, John
Widmar, was in need of assistance to
take him home and further on were
notes of amounts that had been given,
from which it is inferred that the man
was begging his way from town to
town. There was no money among
his effects. In his pockets was some
Greek literature, indicating the dead
man may have been of that nationality.
The coroner's investigation conduct
ed today brought out doubt as to
whether the man was the one that
he had evidently represented himself
to be- The description given in the
testimonial from Rochester, it was
! found, did not fit the remains. II is
I thought likely that the dead man had
/ been using the credentials to impose
upon those from whom be begged.

AT THE EMPIRE,

The five melody boys, a quintet
of merry singers and instrumentalists,
will bring joy to the hearts of all
lovers of popular melodies and syn
copated ditties of the most popular
variety at the Empire the last half
of the week. The boys represent the
highest singing act on the Western
circuit and are brought here with the
assurance that they will repeat mel
Odic triumphs. Harry Gilbert, a char
acter singing comedian, will be anoth-
er headliner. The Yalto duo of whirl-
wind dancers are to introduce some
new cyclonic effects in terpsichorean
feats and judging from criticisms else
where, this pair is due to start small
demonstration at the local house Mar
shall and Tribble, in "The Troubles
of Sambo and Dinah," will be another
act worth while seeing. Melroy and
/ Corners, acrobats, in a new style of
athletic entertainment, will complete
the regular show, while Mrs. Casey
will sing number of special songs
with slides. The last half of the week
show ought to prove one of the most
/ interesting of the season as its repre-
sents a great variety in the class of
acts. There will be two motion pic
ture reels as usual. Manager Dolly
is preparing a big surprise for his
patrons for next week. He has not
yet completed the big bill, but expects
soon to announce collection of the
strongest acts which have ever been
! seen in the three cities.

Chicago, and which will be seen here.

the two initial performances were be-
yond anyones expectations. The mem
bers of the company were obliged to
appear individually at the close of
each act in response to hearty and
prolonged curtain calls. The company
will return to Chicago after the short

In order to quickly clear the line for

length of time the road was reopened

When trains were again running the
wrecking crews turned their attention
to the locomotive and then they found
that they had a serious task on hand.
The heavy machine had broken
through the sod and was gradually
slipping down into the quicksand be

to il and lifted their full capacity with

tried but in vain. Attempts were
made to again turn the monster over.
but there was not enough power avail

into the nlire.

had failed it was decided to build q

Of the 10th amendment we're busy in

four states got aboard the vehicle,
which then was recognized only as an

which has transformed it TO band wagon
proportions.
Then occurred the rush. Wyoming
