May Interpose Legal Objections to
Germany's Plans.
Washington, June 9.-President Will
son and his cabinet considered the
known 9act that German interests, re-
ported backed by the German govern
ment, are negotiating for the purchase
of the great gun and munitions oI-War
plants in this country.
Secretary McAdoo. of the treasury
laid the matter before the cabinet. he
had information from secret service
agents of the government, who nave
heen following these German actlVltles
for several weeks.
The whole matter Ia fraught with
such possibilities of danger TO TINS
country that Attorney General Gregory
and the experts of the department OF
Justice have taken UP the question Win
n view of interpcsing legal obstacles.
It may become necessary, 1T was sug-
gested, to prevent such sale on the
ground of public welfare, because OF
strained relations with Germany.
Secretary McAdco will not disclose
who are the agents for the German
interests seeking to purchase the mu-
nitions plants, or who are the hnanclal
hackers, The secret service men are
believed to know these details, having
been on the investigation three weeks.
Rich Germans in the United states are
believed to be interested.
Mr.. Schwab, head of the Bethlehem
Company, came to Washington two
weeks ago in response to an urgent
summons He saw Secretary McAdoo,
Secretary Daniels and other officials.
At that time it was given out that he
was comforting as to details of supplies
to be furnished this government under
contracts for new warship construction
about to be awarded. 1t is now under
stood that Secretary McAdoo sought
information as to the negotiations
under way at that time for the purchase
of the munitions plants in this country
by the German interests.

The opposing barrister had a face
like Ratchet and thin, low voice.
He began: "As listened to the thun-
derous appeals of my learned opponent
4 recalled fable. A lion and an ass
entered into a compact to Stay the
beasts OF the field and share the spoils.
The ass was to go into the thicket and
bray and frighten the animals out,
while the lion was to lie In wait and
kill the fugitives. Well, the ass sought
the darkest part of the jungle and, lift
ing up his awful voice, brayed and
brayed and prayed. The ass was in
toxicated with his own uproar, and
thought he'd return to see what the
lion thought of It, He found the lion
pale in the face and trembling. What
do you think of that for braying?' said
the ass. Don't you think l scared
them?' Scared them?' replied the lion
in an agitated tone. Why. you'd have
scared me If didn't know YOU were a
jackass!''

CHI AUTO DERBY
Thousands Watch Big Race To-
day on New Speedway.
Cooper Sets New Record for
Hundred Miles.

Speedway, Chicago, I'LL, June 90
The timers got mixed up on the first
lap of the five hundred mile automo-
bile derby with which Chicagos new
two mile speedway was dedicated to-
day and for an hour forty or fifty
thousand spectators were left to won
der who was leading while the timers
were trying to extricate themselves.
The start of the race was made at
1870 O'Clock Chandler withdrew
with a broken crankshaft at his
twenty fourth mile. Resta and Wilcox
made the first twenty miles at the rate
of 102.71 miles per hour. Resta's
distance. The previous record was
made by Ralph De Palma at Los An
geles in 14:56:05.
The timers of the race were unable
to keep up the pace. The cars had
made eighty miles before they were
able to announcer the time for twenty
miles.
A 100 Mile Record.
A new competitive speedway record
for one hundred miles it was an
nounced, was made by E. Cooper at
the rate of 104 miles an hour or eleven
miles faster than the previous record
held by De Palma. Cooper was then
in the lead At noon it was stated that
the timers had adjusted their figures.
At 140 miles the leaders were Resta
1851; Porporato, 1868 E. Coop
er, 1:26:13. Henning and Haupt with
drew.
Resta made 16o miles in 1:36:44 a
worlds record. His speed rate was
1928 miles per hour, or approximately
ten miles an hour faster than the pre-
vious record. Automobile men pre-
dicted that the race would shatter ev-
cry competitive speedway record in
the world.
Thousands of persons at an early
hour today gathered at the new two
mile automobile speedway advertised
as the fastest in the world to witness
the 500-mile derby participated in by
21 of the best known drivers in the
country.
Twenty years ago a so-ca11ed
-'horseless carriage" driven by Charles
Duryea of Springfield, Mass, p1owed
through snow and slush on the roads
between Chicago and Evanston and
won the first automobile race eve~
held in this country. His time for the
forty-mile route laid out was at the
rate of rs miles an hour Today,
generation later, the finest creations of
the engineers of three countries met at
10 o'clock to battle for $4,000 in
prize money and they expected to go
twelve times as fast of Duryea did as
pioneer.
The drivers have two 500 miles
marks to shoot at. First comes the
miles an hour made in 1913 by Resta.
Chassagne and Ouinnes, who relieved
each other at intervals of a twelve
hour grind, and the Indianapolis rec
ord of 1884 miles an hour, estab-
lished by Ralph De Palma. who won
the Hoosier classic this year. Pre-
dictions were common that the De

General Shutdown of ChicagO'S
Building Industries Today.
Action Answer to Strike Vote
of Carpenters.
200, 900 WORKERS AFFECTED
Break Comes When Mechanics
Reject Arbitration.
Business All Over Country tt
Suffer; Orders Cancelled.

Chicago. June ga general shut
down of Chicago's building industry,
which, it was said, will throw out of
employment more than 100000 work.
ers, went into effect today.
The shutdown is regarded by con-
tractors and labor leaders as the be-
ginning of one of the greatest labor
wars in recent years. The action was
taken at meeting last night of rep
reSentativeS of the allied building and
material interests an an answer to the
referendum vote of 10000 striking
carpenters, who overwhelmingly de-
feated the proposal to arbitrate all
questions in dispute.
Business in many parts of the coun-
try will suffer as result of the shut
ting down of this city's building indus
try. according to James PRYOR, a
member of the press committee of the
employers. Mr.. Pryor said he had
telegraphed out of town concerns to
cancel orders and to stop consignments
already on the way to Chicago.
The shutdown will not become gen.
eral for a week or more, it is said
Employers would venture no definite
statement as. to the number of men
involved, but the average was between
10000 and 100000, with approxi-
mately one-quarter of the citys wage
earnerS directly or indirectly involved.
Herbert Ballou, a carpenter contrac-
tor, was stabbed, it is thought, fatally,
in a dispute early today with a man
who contended that the carpenters
demand for seventy cents an hour was
ilIStifjed
