r. H. Rinehart and Lew Gasser
motored in from Ell Paso last Sunday
in the Stuitz bear cat, that was in the
race a year ago. They are making a
trip over the Borderland route to see
what condition it is in for the race,
and to place such signboards as may
be necessary. Mr.. Rinehart found
the road from Ell Paso to Lordsburg
in much better condition than it was
a year ago, and he says there are long
stretches where the speed merchants
will hit it up to so miles per hour.
He expects the winning a will make
the trip from Ell Paso to Phoenix in
40 miles per hour, or better. He says
there will be 40 cars In the race this
year, and they will be started off at
intervals of five minutes, instead of
ten minutes, as last year, which will
bunch them closer together. He says
that all of Ell Paso, except Mayor
Kelley, is enthusiastically boosting
the race, for they appreciate the i'm
mense amount of advertising it gives
the route, and the large number of
ears that this advertising brings to
Ell Paso, and the other points along
the line, and these cars all run with
the muller to the owners pocket book
cut out. For some mysterious reason
Mayor Kelley has got a crouch against
the face, probably because he cannot
run 1t. Last year the automobile
club asked the mayor to allow the
racers to exceed the speed limits, and
to police the streets over which they
run, so they might make good time.
He refused to do this, and threatened
to put police on the route, and If any
one exceeded the limit to arrest them.
The racing board notified the racers
of what they might expect, and they
went out of the city, using their own
judgement as to speed. This year the
committee on racing have. got things
fixed. The applications for entry read
that the race is to start from the
Masonic Temple, FL Paso, or such
other place in or near Ell Paso, as the
committee may select. If the city
and county authorities are going to
be ugly about the speed limit the rae
ing committee will, If necessary, start
the race from Canutelo hill. The
racing board is going to do everything
it can for the protection Of the racers,
and TO have good speed made.

ACCUSED OF FRAUD
Interest on Bonds Manipulated
for Stockholders Benefit.
Ii Is Alleged.

Trust Company; Alexander J. Hemphill,
president of the Guaranty and Trust
Company; Guy c. Trip, chairman Of
the board of the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company, and
Harry Bronner, director Of the Equi-
table Trust Company. suit was begun
Yesterday By the New York Life In
surance Company, charging an I'M
proper diversion of the interest on
bonds for the benefit of the stocShold-
ers in the Railways company.
The New York Life company, to-
gether with cooperating bondholders.
represents about S7,500.000 of the
.O.62G.977 affected by this alleged
manipulation. They are non-cumulatlve
) per cent bonds. on which anything
short of the per cent interest during
previous years need not be paid in the
future if the funds available for the
purpose were not available at the time
of the yearly. payments.
1t does not object to a reserve fund,
but to the fact that per cent is set
aside, while in 1911 only 6.i5 per cent
and in 1912 only 5.95 per cent Of the
passenger revenue was expended for
the purpose.
As an explanation of the cause of
the arbitrary diversions" it is said
that few individuals elected the four
dc PENDANTS as directors. II is charged
that they act especially in the interests
Of the lnterborough Manhattan Com
pany. inasmuch as that company owns
Sl6000.O00 of the Sl7,000,000 stock Of
the New York Railways Company.
The insurance company demands
that the approval of the directors Of
the alleged pretended statements OF
semi-annual earnings be set aside and
declared void. and that the New York
City Railways account for all earnings
and income during 1919 and 1913 and
pay the amount found to be due.
