DRIVERS READY FUR P|kES PEAK
 LABOR DAY RACE
IRepubIiean A. p. Leased WIrel

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Sept. 3-Automobiles of all the entrants for the Pike's Peak races to be held here Labor day have been examined, speed tests for the order of starting have been run, and everything is now in readiness for the third annual climb up one of Americas most fam ous mountains. Visitors from out of town, representing many sections of the state, began arriving this after noon, and it is believed that the larg est crowd in the history of the races will be posted along the highway to compete for the Penrose trophy under the auspices of the American Auto mobile association.
 Speculation on the winners Is rife. Otto Loesche, winner of last years race. Al Kline. King Rhiley, and Glen Schultz, are among those favored to win. These men finished in the order named in the speed trials. Rhiley is more or less the favorite. Getting away to bad start and losing some 30-odd seconds when his car momen- tarily became unmanageable, he fin ished only a few seconds behind Loesc1e and Kline.
 Tomorrow will see the final prepa- rations for the race. A few trial spins by the drivers, a last bit of road work by the gangs which are keeping the course in condition, and then everyone in any way connected with or interested in the races will await clear skies with the hope there will be no clouds lowering about the bald crest of the peak.
 The unfortunate death of Wallace Coleman. pilot, who jumped the road Thursday morning when his cal sl1idded, has not in any way damp ened the determinati ton of the drivers to break the existing records for tho climb.
 The order in which the drivers vii start, not including others who will draw lots tonight for their places, i, as follows: No. 2. Otto Loesche; No 6, Al Kline; II, King Rhiley; 24 Glen Schultz; 8, H. l.. Chapin; 1, J C. Williamson; 2, Steve Nemesh; 14 Forest Frantz; 12. Otto Davis; 3 Lyman Hess; Ii, H. F. O'Brien; F Sam Marcus; 25, Norman A. Glen.

BELFAST. Sept. 3.-The visit of Michael Collins, Sim Fein minister of commerce and commander-in chief of the Irish republican army, is at tracing great attention here. It has been announced that MT. Collins pur- poses to address a meeting at Ar magh Sunday.

 Mir. Collins was elected to the northern parliament for Armagh.
 Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster leader. in forecasting the attitude of his followers on the establishment of the northern parliament said they would keep rebels" out of their province. Accordingly it is consid cred likely that the Orangemen will take as a challenge the visit of man who, as the republican army's com mander- in chief. is credited in Ulster with being the chief organizer of po- litical force.
 Armagh is a city which observes Sunday strictly as it is observed in scotland, where political meetings are barred. Sundays meeting is to be preceded by a procession, and the hope was expressed today that the leaders of the movement would con

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

GENEVA, Sept. 3.-At it's forth coming meeting the assembly of the league of nations will for the first time be. called upon to decide a ter ritorial dispute.
 This is a result of the action of the league council today in referring to the assembly the entire question raised by Albania's complaint against Greece and Jugo- Slavia for occupy Ing territory conceded to Albania by the powers in 1913.
 The case will be presented to the assembly by a Harvard graduate, Bishop Noli, who is head in the AL banian delegation. Jugo- Slavia will contest the right of the Albanian delegation to speak for that country, contending it has been divided by the establishment of the Mirdite re- public.
 The council today received a report by the blockade commission which recommends an amendment to the covenant of the league doing away with the rule requiring a unanimous vote in case where the council is required to decide whether there shall be a blockade against a nation having a representative on the coun- cil.
 This. 1t was pointed out. would pre- vent the offending nation from block ing action by the council.
 In an animated meeting of the dis armament commission today the fail ure was registered of the proposal of the assembly last year that an attempt be made to induce the pow CTS to limit armaments for two years to the amount of their next budget. It was reported that only 15 coun- tries had replied in the affirmative; six countries were willing to accept the proposal conditionally, while seven had given no for their answer. Charles Noblemaire, representing France in the place of NJ Viviani, made a heated protest against the | charges of militarism lodged against l France. He declared his country was ! maintaining men under arms in the Rhine mot because she wanted them | there, but because the powers in | making peace had assigned to heI largely the duty of watching the | Rhine"
 When all were ready to cooperate ! for mutual security, he added, France would be glad to demobilize these men.

 To Be Forgery
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The will of Samuel Kraus, vice president of the Eagle Pencil company. leaving his million dollar estate to Mrs. sAdeline Thomas of this city, is a forgery, de- clares a report made yesterday to Surrogate Foley by Referee John Godfrey Saxe.
 The referee reports that Mrs. Thomas is the illegitimate daughter of MT. Kraus and as such is not en- titled to the estate.
 The referee bases his opinion that the will was forged upon the change ? in the character of the paper used Tn the first and second sheets of the will and the typewriting. and it is alleged that the first sheet was substituted years after the will was made.
 The will referred to Mrs. Thomas as my daughter Adeline-" Contest was made by Bert Kraus of Brooklyn nephew of the testator, on the ground that his uncle was of unsound mind, had been influenced unduly and had never married.
 Testimony was given before the referee by Franklin Quinby, lawyer that the mother of Mrs. Thomas was Mary Gertrude Bromel who met Kraus in 1889 while she was earning S16 week as a. forewoman in a pen cil factory at Yonkers.
