 Undoubtedly the most remarkable exhi- bition of endurance ever staged in a bicycle race was that of Charlie Miller in 1898 During the 1i2 hours the con- test lasted he slept only nine hours, an average of 90 minutes Of sieep each day. MILLER SRECORD
 Miller pedailed 1,0O7Il miles that year, an achievement that stands1 out as the
 most remarkable in cycling history, and one that undoubtedly will endure for all time. For that 1898 clash marked the end of solitaire riding, and two-men teams came into vogue in 1899.
 The 1898 race was a thriller. There was bitter rivalry between Miller ana Frank Waller. They raced almost as a team from beginning to end, moving far ther and farther beyond the twenty rine other contestants each new day. Waller had more sleep than Miller and was off the track longer on that ae- count But Miller was troubled oftener with bad tires and his absence offset the

mean MONOPOLY?
Hopkins Makes Claim in Bank
Holding Corporation Answer.
Asks Court to Refuse Requests
for Charter.

Claiming that the plan of the pro-
posed Kansas Bank Holding corpora
ton to control numerous banks in
Kansas would create a monopoly and
that advertising appearing in Kansas
newspapers saying that the alleged
plan to control and direct Kansas
banks would cut down overhead ex-
penses was false, misleading and de-
ceptive. Richard J. Hopkins today in
an answer filed in the Kansas SUI
preme court to the petition for writ
of mandamus filed by the corporation
against the state charter board to
compel the board to issue a charter
asks the court to refuse the corpora
tons request.
The original charter issued to the
company was withdrawn when Hop
kins protested on the grounds that
the action of the board in granting
charter was illegal because Walter E.
Wilson, state bank commissioner and
"a member of the charter board, also
was treasurer and stockholder in the
corporation. Wilson and L. j. Petit
john, secretary of state, were the only
ones present at the meeting. Hopkins
claims, and voted to grant the char
ter. since that time Wilson has with
drawn as a stockholder in the cor
poration and the original charter has
been withdrawn.
THE plan of the corporation where
by the share of stock to be issued by
it at a par value of only 800 was to
be sold for $3.50 per share, and by
which the plaintiff was to pay com
mission of 20 per cent of all the cash
realized by the plaintiff out of the
sale of it's capital stock and surplus
to the Moore Sales Agency George
Godfrey Moore, owner.1 is unjust and
inequita BILE" Hopkins said.
In speaking of the bank holding
corporations plan of doing business,
Hopkins says:
THE corporation by its application,
prospectus and advertisement stated
in substance that its plan is to control
the management and direction of the
business of very many banks turnout
the state of Kansas, of at least one
hundred in number. the deposits, the
placing and lending of the assets and
deposits of the banks and the trans
fer of assets. and deposits of these
banks from place to place thruout the
state at the will of the corporation.
The plan is illegal in that it takes the
MANAGEMENT aud control of the affairs
and business of the banks away from
the board of directors of the small
banks while such management and
control is vested by law and would at
tempt without authority of law to vest
such authority and control of these
banks in the corporation. This would
tend to advance and control the rate
of interest for the loan or use of mon
ey to the borrower of money turnout
the state and would constitute an un-
lawful trust and monopoly and would
| be contrary to law and public pollcy.
In his answer. Hopkins attached full
page advertisements of the company s
prospectus published in state papers.
which, he claimed. the promoters of
the corporation failed to do when the
original charter was sought.

For Not Being

Grace Cathedral Girls Society Takes
Care of Baby TOO Small, You
Know, to Bring to Service

No longer can restless youngsters
or. infants too young to appreciate re-

for remaining at home from church

longer accepted as an explanation for

ent in their pews on Sundays.
"Johnny's so restless in church it's
hardly a pleasure to come" is no bet
ter as an alibi.
For over in the Guild hall. con-
veniently close to the cathedral, a
group of young women of the Girls

morning while the service is conduct
ed in the cathedral for the express
purpose of caring for the baby too

or restless Johnny" The girls de-
vote the entire church time to enter
tanning the children of the parishion-
ers in a most pleasant way. There are
toys and books and pencils provided
for them and fascinating stories are
told to the children by their church
hour guardians.
There's no reason why we should
not have an increase in the number of
mothers and fathers at our church
service" Dean Kaye said.

Only twice did the governor have Tits
