GOULLEI-FOLGER
 COMBINE WINS
AUSTRALIAN AND NEW YORKER CAPTURE SiX-DAY BICYCLE
 RACE AT GOTHAM.
Race Was the Most Exciting and Sue cessful of Any Long Distance Bike Race Ever Ran.

New York, Dec 13.-Alfged CouIlet
 of Australia and Joe Folger of New
 York won the six-day bicycle race n
 Madison Square Garden. which ended
 tonight. Jacob Magin of Philadelphia
 and Percy O. Lawrence of Denver were the second team Edward F. Root of New York and Reggie Me Namara of Australia finished third.
 The other teams finished as fol- lows:
 Peter Dr0bach Of Boston and Alfred Halstead Of California, fourth.
 Francisco Verri and Maurice Broc. co. Italian team, fifth
 Fred Hill. Boston and Martin Ryan. Newark. sixth
 Lloyd Thomas San Francisco, and Worth L. Mitten Davenport. Ia.. seventh
 Frank Cory and l. Gordon Walker. both of Australia. eighth.
 The first six teams were tied for the lead when the race proper ended shortly before 10 o'clock. One repre- sentative from each of These teams then entered for a final sprint of a mile to decide the winner and the succeeding places for honors and prize money. The starters were Verri. Goullet, Hill, Root, Halstead and Law renee Root led during tho first three quarters of the mile In the last two laps, however, Goullet jumped to the front and won easily by more than a dozen yards
 The leading teams had covered 2,75t miles when the track was cleared for the sprint. This bettered the record made by Mcfarland and Moran in 1908 by l3 miles and 9 laps. Corry and Walker and Mitten and Thomas were a lap behind The Carmen and Cameron and Breton and Packenbusch teams withdrew early in the eveniug. One by one the other seven of the original seventeen starters had with drawn at various stages of the race.
 The fast pace almost constantly maintained from Monday morning un- til tonight had resulted in records being smashed day after day and the hourly scores were few that did not announce some new mark
 The race has been perhaps the most exciting and successful of any of the long series of these events at Madi son Square Garden Foreign riders were numerous. and several of these notably Australian and Italian cracks figured in the final distribution o' prize money The prize for the wir. ming team was $t 600, while $l 900 wen to the second team, S750 10 the third sGO0 to the fourth. $500 10 the ffth $500 to the sixth and $25o to the sef enth. The eighth place team will no be neglected in the distribution of re wards. however, and as a matter 0 fact. the announced prizes are but comparatively small part of riders winnings, as there were many bonuse for good riding and various rewards for the hard working cyclists

SENATOR ROOT
 ON CURRENCY
OPENS THE GENERAL ATTACK ON DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTER.
 TON MONEY MEASURE
Says England and France Have Both Tried Like Measures to Their sor row and are Watching Us.

Washington, Dec. l3.-The admins. tf9tlon currency bill was submitted 10 severe arraignment in tbe Sonat, today by Senator Elihu Root of New York. He declared that the measura without statutory limitation on tho is stance of the proposed new currency could bring about an imitation of cred. r that would result in a dreadful ca. taStrophe.' The note issue section of the bill, he said, in a dramatic nero ration, exhibits the opinions of n very great leader Of the Democratic party whose financial haresies nave twice been repudiated by the American people,
 The only check to an inflated cur. fency Senator Root continued was in the hands of d federal reserve board, appointed under tho same in. iluence that put into this bin these false theories and bound to proceed in accordance with them"
 The bin was defended by Senator Pomerene of Ohio, who opposed the proposals for public ownership and government control of the proposed re- eicnal banks, and declared that the bill would relieve any financial de. prcssion now existing.
 SEarp differences of opinion appear ing in the debate on the floor and marked disinclination to compromise which was evident in corridor confer. enoes between Democratic and Repuh. lican leaders dissipated the hopes for an carly vote on the bill, which have prevailed for several days Repu5li. can senators who were willing sum. marily to end debate if they could se- cure ihe elimination of certain fca- tures of the bill including the pro. nosal to guarantee bank deposits and tha redemption of the proposed new notes in gold or lawful money" met lit le announcement. and the leaders almost gave up hope for an carly ivote
 Senator Root in opening his attack on the bill, presented an amendment calculated to place restriction on the issue of the proposed government no'es by taxing the reserves held against the notes when they fell be- low 50 per cent and by imposing a
 graduated tax on issues above $90.000.- GOO and $l 0.00o. .000 Some restrictive amendment. he declared, was absolute. ly necessary.
 rIa asserted that the bill as pre-
 scented by Senator owen provided fo-
 "easy money for everybody" and that anyone who could draw and sign q

 ton of credit he said, could be pre-
 vented only by the action of the fed
