Driving Lakes Ford, Takes
Both Events
OF The Labor Day Auto Races
At HiaWatba Park

Earl Dorsey of this city drove the
Ford racer. belonging to Walter Lake,
TO victory in the Laber Day races at
Lake Hiawatha park, winning both
the 10 and the 25 mile events. His
best time for a single mile was 68
seconds while he made the 10-mie in
II minutes, 20 seconds and the 25-
mile in 35 minutes fiat.
There we're four cars entered in
both of the events. In addition to
Lakes Ford, there was an e. M. f.
from Loudonville, Scribbs-Booth cy-
Gle car from Columbus and q second
Ford from Marion. The owner of the
latter had originally entered Velie
and had it out at the park already for
the races. In, driving 1t around before
they started, he ran into another non
racing car on the track and the col
lision broke one of the axles, disabl.
ing the car for the afternoon.
The races were very satisfactory to
the crowd of 1,200 people assembled
on the grounds The 10-mile event
was won by Dorsey with comparative
ease, the e. M. F. getting second, the
Marion Ford third and the Scribbs-
Booth fourth.
Immediately at the start of the 25-
mile event, 1t was plain to be seen
that the race lay between the Loudon-
vile e. M. F., driven by Mowery, and
Lakes Ford. Dorsey drove splendid
ly and had no trouble at all during the
entire stretch. The two cars ran very
close together and it was see-saw
back and forth until the 47th lap,
when Mowery's tank and his tire both
blew out. This enabled the Scribbs-
Booth cycler to finish second, but
Mowery had repairs made in time to
come back and take third place, the
Marion Ford finishing poor fourth.
The day was ideal, the track in ex-
cellent condition and the crowd lett
the park we'll satisfied with the exhi-
bition of racing it had seen.

ACLL MAKES STATEMENT.

Columbia, Feb. 10.-Dr J.. w.
Babcock kept insisting before the
asylum Investigators yesterday that
what he says was vital part of
confidential conversation he had with
Col. f. II. Aull, had not been told
by the latter and Col. Aull stated he
Gld not recollect anything more than
he told. However, after the commit
tee adjourned he saw DR.. Babcock
and the latter told him what he
meant and Col. Aull requested Chair
man Mauldin to permit him to go
back on the stand this afternoon.
However, the committee did not
get to hear him, and tonight Col. Aul
gave out statement concerning the
matter and he Will ask the commit
tee to put it in the record. His die
tated statement follows:
Il have had q talk with DR.. Rab-
cock since the adjournment CT the
committee yesterday afternoon and he
has informed me OF what was the
vital thing that l said to him in con-
rcction with the two letters of Gov
to withhold the demand Of Gov.
Hlease for 9. special meeting OF the
regents.
'Inasmuch as he seemed to think
that what i said was Of such vital
Importance to this investigation, I
want to state what he says l said.
DO not recall having made the re
mark, but il / did l do not see that
it is vital to this investigation, nor
do / sec where it is germane to the
inquiry which the committee is now
making, however, / have no desire TO
withhold anything that may help to
clarity the situation. He says that
said that the State newspaper would
give q good sum for possession OF the
two letters, and if they were published d
they would defeat Governor Blease
for the senate and elect Smith. / DO
not deny his recollection, but | do
not recall the remark. If 1 said it,
it would only be an opinion and could
have no connection that l can see
with the management of the institu-
ton.
1 90 recall now that I remarked
when l read the letters whether one
OF them at least reflected upon DR..
Saunders, or it did not, il was un-
fortunately worded, and 1 made this
remark to Governor Bleasc.
He said he had no intention of re-
ilecting upon Dr. Saunders l have
hal great many conversations with
Or. Babcock during the three years
that l have been coming TO Columbia.
haVe been here at least once a week
during that time and have been with
hirl each time and We have talked
about State Park and the Asylum, and
1t would be impossible for me TO re-
call all of those conversations. |
