RECORDS MAY BE
 SMASHED AT BIG 7 AUTOMOBILE RACES

New York, May 10--The eyes of the automobile racing world are now cen tired on New York. The Metropoh- tan trophy race, offering $20,OOO in prize money. has lured the world s fof e1ff6st race drivers to the Ssheeps-s head Bay speedway for the contest next Saturday
 This is a new classic, but it prom isesfto takedts place among the rae ing events with the Vanderbilt and Astor& CID races. America is well represented with, ears and drivers, while Trance sends a fleet of Delages and sT5eugeets. and a Sunbeam Six is here as the British entry.
 Never since the famous Vanderbilt race was staged over the Long Isl and course, has there been such en- thusiasrn shown on the part of race goe4ss rfhe interest is not confined to New Y ork fans alone, as reserva- tioffs for boxes have been made for residents of the Pacific coast, and route, cohnir1g east to witness what promises to be a great gaso1ene bat
 Special trains will carry the sports men froms Chicago, Boston, Baltimore and Washington while thohsands from all over the country will tour to the Speedway in motor cars. Inquiries sent out by the Speedway management to motor clubs has resulted in excellent reports on road conditions. A per sonaI inspection has been made and motorists advised as to the best route route to take for the trip. Indica- tfons point to a record smashing day. as the cars are in. the best of condi- ton and the track faster than ever.
 Many of the cars are new to Ameri- ca, as the fleet of De1ages, imported byHarry s. Hardness, are making the first start in this country. The day will also mark the first contest for the Sunbeam Six, which is under the guidance of Joseph Christiaens. The car is said to have made a speed of 120 miles an hour during practice trials at Brooklyn, England. and is considered to be the dark horse of the classic.
 If the English car is as fast as it is claimed to be, the Metropolitan Tro- phy will be a time destroyer for all previous events, as Dario Resta, with his Peugeot; Johnny Aiken, with the same kind of a mount, and Billy Chandler. in his speedy Crawford, are drivers who have startled the world with their daring and skill in handling a. racing car.
 Accordfhg to .'raiIbirds'' who have timed the early morning workout of the drivers, all previous speed records have been smashed during the last week.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1897--Gus Ruslin defeated Steve O'Donnen in 10 rounds at Akron, o. This was the second time within a, few months that the Akron giant defeated the big Australian, who had knocked out Jake Kilrain and defeated Frank S1avin, and was considered a danger ous man Ruhlin's victory over O'Don- nell spread his reputation, and the following summer he made a trip to the Pacific Coast and was matched to fight Jim Jeffries in San Fran cisco. The big boilermaker, like Ruhlin, was then a novice, and Gus held Jeff to a. draw in 20 rounds. Ruh1in then went to New Orleans and defeated Tut Ryan, and a little later he whipped Texas Bill Smith at Hot Springs. Gus got his first reverse when he tackled the clever Kid Mccoy in Syracuse in 1898. He went the full 20 innings with the Hoosier, but lost the decision. In July the Akron heavyweight was knocked out by Tom Sharkey in the 1st round at Coney Island. Two years later Gus turned the tables on the sailor, put ting him to sleep, and he whipped him again in England in 1922.

POLITICS
AND THE JUDICIARY
SENATOR THOMAS IN SENATE
SPEECH ALLUDES TO
NEVADA

The Tribune is in receipt OF a
marked copy of the Washington
Times, of a recent date, containing
an extract from a speech by Senator
Thomas of Colorado. touching upon
the subject of the judiciary in poll
ties. Senator Thomas is we'll
known in Goldfeld, having been a
member of the law firm of Thomas,
Bryant and Lee. The following is
from the Times:
Senator Thomas, in indorsing the
views of Senator Works, alluding to
the Nevada situation as illustrating
the evil of the judiciary in politics,
said:
Mr.. President, | was very much
impressed with the remarks of the
senator from California and par
ticularly so with that portion of his
address which commented on the
present attitude of the situation i'm
regard to candidates for the presi-
dency.
hihh CfCly "OIu uIt6Ieu ny
the senator is unanswerable. "The
lesson which it would teach is one
that should make it a part not only
OF national but of state affairs.
Il was reminded while the sena-
tor vas discussing that feature o
his address that in one OF the
states of the union which contains a
constitutional provision to the eff
feet no occupant of the bench shall.
during his term of office, be a can
didate for any other than a judi
cial office two members of the SUI
preme bench of that state, one a
democrat and the other a republi-
can, are today active candidates for
a seat in this body.
That is a spectacle both so UNI
fortunate and so humiliating, and
at the same time so illustrative or
the extent to which the ambition,
honorable ambition, if you please, of
members of the Bench can be car
ried if the rule for which the sena
tor contended is valid at all, that ]
could not avoid the temptation Of
speaking of it at this time"

Back Haul Obstacle to Ford

The back-haul W the mountains

vented a Ford factory at Reno.
When the state of California recent
Nv passed legislation unfavorable to
the Ford people. Secretary of State
Brodigan wrote to them stating that
conditions at Reno were favorable
for the establishment of a factory
there. The company answered that
the plan had been referred to the
company's attorneys. The secretary
of state has since learned from
other sources that the high back
haul charges render the plan inn

BUREAU tNOFAyORS TO

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAXES
HAND IN FIGHTING DANGER
OUS ANIMAL PESTS

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April "a
The appropriation by congress in
the urgent deficiency act of $75,-
0O0 for the control of rabies among
coyotes in the west has enabled
the bureau of biological survey of
the United States department. Of
agriculture to put five inspectors
and 100 hunters in the field in adj
d.tion to its existing organization.
These men are to serve in Oregon,
Nevada, California and Idaho and
along the border in Utah.
In addition to these measures The
Nevada rabies commission has sig
nifed its intention of %expending a
large sum of money under recon-
mendations made by the biological
survey, and it is probable that 9th
er states will do likewise. Stock
men and ranch owners are co
operating by furnishing horses and
forage free of charge. The I'M
portance Of preventing the spread
Of the disease is fully realized.

pest to stockmen, bat with the adj

Oregon. Idaho. California and Ne
vadl PARENTS are afraid to send
their children 10 school unless they
ere well guarded. and there is al
ways danger that domestic dogs will
ie h.tten Try the mad animals and
earead the disease to the families Of
the owners.
In oregon and Nevada over 100
fersons have received the Pasteur
treatment for rabies within the
last three years and stock inter
ests have suffered severely. In
one feed lot in Winnemucca. New .
? single coyote caused the loss Of
90 head of three year old beef
steers.
Although this is regarded as the
most serious. it is net the first out
break of rabies among coyotes in
the western states. In 1911 the
dsease made it's appearance IN
Wallowa county. Oregon. and spread
southwark. This infestation still
continues. In the spring of 1915
the disease made it's first appear
once in northern Nevada, and at the
present time southwestern Idaho,
northeastern California and ap-
proximately the northern half OF
Nevada are infested.

however, it does not hesitate 20
