500 mile sweepstakes run on the
Spe sdway at Indianapolis is now the
real wallop Of the year so far as auto
mobile speeding is concerned and
manufacturers and drivers are al
ready making preparations for the
grind.
Bob Burman, speed king who
has made more of a record as an ex-
hibition driver in smashing records
than by plotting cars to victory in
open competition is out this year
with firm resolve to cop the Indian
apolis classic. Bob saw the Sherf,
dan coat OF arms on the palatial
Sheridan Office while in New York re.
Gently and dropped in to explain how
ne expects to turn the trick.
Last Word in Speed Machines.
In the first place he is building a
special car at Battle Creek, Mich
This car is Burman's idea of the last
word in speed construction. 1t is to
carry a sixteen valve motor, four to
each cylinder. and is generally tram
ed along lines figured to pull out
every ounce of power and speed pos
sible. Many of the foreign made rae
ing cars are now equipped with the
sixteen valve motors, but this feature
is new to American machines Bur
man has also rejiggered the usua
arrangements of seats alongside the
driver on the racing cars The seal
for mis- nlsshanician is to be set along
side the driver, as usual, but bach
some six inches or more. The mocha
nician's body will therefore be on {
line with the back Of Burman's seat
leaving free arm room for steering
the car. Burman found that his ell
bow was constantly humping hi
mechanician in his old cars.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-As the war
of 1901 centered over Pennsylvania
when the American league was prying
its way into the position it now holds
in baseball, so may the tussle of 1914
pivot itself, if the clouds which began
to take form yesterday, break and
spill over the surrounding landscape.
Whether the Federal league carries
the Killifer-Brennan case to court or
not as a result of President Baker of
the Phillies. signing up these men
after they had signed Federal con-
tracts, the way is at least open for
wholesale cutting and slashing by
both sides.
The Feds have steered clear OF big
1eaguers under contract to the major
league clubs. but now that Philadel-
phia has cut in and signed men under
contract to the Feds, President Gil
more may be expected to do little
slicing of his own. In addition to
loud walls of anguish that are certain
to come from the general direction of
major league club owners, it will give
the Federals chance to hustle into
court and seek a ruling on the reserve
clause, which is their main point OF
attack.

State officials instructed local physicians to make an examination with the object in view of arriving at the physical condition of the defendant These phy sicians rendered verdict to the ef- feet that in their opinion Oakley was able to appear for trial. The trial judge that fternoon declared forfeited his bond. Oakley was rearrested and held under surveillance until he made a new bond for $32, 600.
 There is great interest throughout the state centered in the cases of the state against Oakley. Theodore Lacy. former chief clerk of the department of which week before last of charges of embezzle- ment. Yesterday he was sentenced to serve 10 years in the penitentiary. Inas- much as 1t is announced that Lacy will be called as a witness for Oakley, it is anticipated that the trial of the latter will be more sensational than the trail of the former.

LOSS TO THE NATlON7

The following statement is taken from the report of the Massachusetts commission on drunkenness: The greatest economic loss to the state lies in the idleness of capable men. Nineteen out of every twenty men i'm prisoned or drunkenness in Massachu- setts last year were of American or British birth, unhandicapped in their occupation by difficulties with our lam guage Four out of every five men so imprisoned were between seventeen and fifty years of age, and therefore at the very period of life when indus trial output should be largest. These men, at the prime of life, lost over 800 900 working days from imprison- ment alone last year and probably an equal amount of time was lost in hunt ing for work after release from prison. That efficiency in work is reduced through alcoholism is unquestioned. It is impossible to calculate the con tinuous loss which it involves"
