1.-THE World: (New York; Friday, !
May 26, 1851
Autoists Doubt Bobby,
AndAsk::" who is He?''s
Here and in Frisco Question {
Raised as to That Rec
ord" Motor Car: Run.

A question arose in automobile
club circles in New York yesterday :
and simultaneously in San Fran
cisco. according to Geographic adj
vices from there, as to whether
Bobby Hammond broke the trans
continental auto record in 6 days
10 hours and so minutes. He ar
rived in Times Square, Tuesday
afternoon in an Empire car. Auto
mobile men also ask who Ham,
mond is. -n1ar- ags
He admits he was not checked
out from San Francisco, but said
he signed a book giving the time
Of his departure to the telephone
and telegraph girls in the ST. Fran
els hotel. where he stopped.
In telling his story he declared
that in crossing the Sierra Nevada
Mountains he travelled forty miles
through the snow sheds OF the
Southern Pacific railway.
The Southern Pacific officials in
the California city said to The
World correspondent last night
that such trip was physical inn !
possibility. They said also they
have no record of an automobile
going through the sheds and are
making a thorough investigation,
as it is against the rules OF the
company.
Nobody around the st. Francis
hotel saw Hammond start. No one
can be found in san Francisco who
saw him in a car. Officials of
the A. A. A. there and the Califor-
MIA Automobile association deny
any knowledge of the man or his
car. 1t was verified that heshad
brought three letters from San
Francisco to New York.
The first man yet found who
saw the driver and his auto is the
Cadillac agent at Elkhart, Ind, and
the clerk of hotel there where he
slept ten hours. He says he can
not name any man who saw him
in his machine previous to this,
though he insists he checked about
every 100 miles.
To doubters, Hammond merely
smiles and challenges every state
ment differing from his story. Yes
terday he wanted to wager any
body, anywhere, anything, that he
could make the trip again and bet
ter his own record"

COLORED WOMEN
ASKED TO ASSIST
Mrs. Gerald Mcdowell In Conference
With Them Yesterday, Asks
for Cooperation.

A good and enthusiastic attendance
of Keokuk colored women greeted
Mrs. Gerald Mcdowell, suffragist, yes
terday in the parlors of Rev. and Mrs.
D. E. Butler at Ais Moth Seventh
street Mrs Mcdowell who is a very
fluent and fervent speaker, had her
suffrage message we'll in hand and
had little difficulty in carrying her
audience, who frequently interrupted
her with applause. After supplying
her hearers with rare historical
treat on the suffrage question, from
almost every conceivable point of
view, and reviewing the child welfare
work. Mrs. Mcdowell said in part:
1--WE are not seeking Office neces-
sarily. or 10 run the government, but
to throw the weight of political influ-
ence through the use of the ballot
upon the side of those men whose
will is to moralize and educate our
young and enable woman to have a
voice not alone in her individual af-
fairs. but those that affect the life Of
the people as a whole.
The time is short-what you do,
do quickly. You canot vote June 5th,
but the men of your race can. Go to
them full of enthusiasm, earnestness
and prayer and induce them to vote
yes for woman suffrage, one and all.
I shall expect your organization to
help win this fight and I believe you
will"

beavers here. He said that Rev. Helm
was regarded with esteem by every
member of the Keokuk Ministerial

church and son-in-law Of the first
