PAPYRUS DISPLAYS LITTLE SPEED IN SPRINT TUESDAY

NEW YORK, Oct 9.-Athough Papyrus ran more like harness dummy than champion race horse in his longest and fastest workout on American turf Tuesday, th,re is a suspicion at Belmont Park, where the British horse is S bled that Papyrus . was not being showed along at his very best pace for the benefit of 800 rather critical on lockers.
 The odds are heavy against Papy- rus in the British hand books and the worse he looks in his public canters the longer the odds will stretch and the more money his packers may win for every shilling invested. Also, his trainer. Basil Jarvis. may have had excellent sporting reasons for not wishing to show Sam Hildreth, trainer of Zev, who is to race Papyrus on October 20, the best the British horse can do. Hildreth was among those who watched Papyrus go a mile and quarter in 2:1S 2-5 and he re- marked: "Papyrus will have to get out of that gait to win from Zev."
 Jarvis said he was quite satisfied with the way Papyrus ran.
 Zev went three furlongs at a fast clip and was taken off the track

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The general inclination to regard the outcome or the worlds series as "toss-up" was reflected tonight in the shortening of betting odds to even money. Sev- eral large wagers on the latter basis were reported placed by Wall street firms. Previously majority or pets had been placed at to 5 and Il to 10 on the Yankees.
 One wager was made at odds or II to 10 that Babe Ruth would make home run at sometime during the se- ries

No Casualties When
Truck Hits Electric

Portland. May 16-The radiator,
forward tenders, front wheels and
steering gear Of the light truck own
ed by the Allen Transfer Company
and driven by George Fournier, were
badly smashed when the truck
crashed into an electric car yesterday
afternoon at s. on Congress street
near Ellsworth.
The electric car was an, incoming

1914 and was stopped at the white
post at the foot Of Ellsworth street.

laden with trunks and small bag

street from Union Station. and Four
nier. seeing that the electric had
stopped, attempted to stop the truck.
All four wheels were caught in the
wet car tracks and the light car skid
ded into the rear of the electric with
such force that the radiator was
driven back over the engine block.
The force of the impact caused the
heap Of heavy trunks to topple and
it was some time before the street
was cleared.
There was no one injured. although

tne officers regard this as one of
thelr most valuable clues. The house
was entered through the cellar door,
and after ransacking the basement,
the burglars gained entrance to the
nrst floor of the house by smashing
IN the kitchen door with a piece of
hardwood. Cupboards and closets
all over the house were broken into,
and 1t is the belief of CITY Marshal
Skehan and Detective Wolf that the
lob, was done by some local youths.
Inere is nothing to indicate the
work OF professional burglars, and
everything to sustain the theory that
II was the work of young men. The
nature OF the ransacking from top to
potion of the house would indicate
mat the thievee were in search OF
liquors. The painting OF the X. X.

that such plan had been under con-

GREAT AREAS STILL
UNDEVELOPED

This question is answered by an
examination of the accompanying
map showing the land and water
transportation facilities of the world
and noting the enormous land areas
yet awaiting transportation facilities,
to enable them to send their possible
products to the waters edge where
now plentiful supply of steamships
will be available to carry them across
the ocean to the sections of the world
which do not produce enough tor
their own requirements. 1t will be
seen that the interior areas of four
of the six grand divisions of the
world, South America, Africa, Asia
and Australia, are yet lacking IN
railway facilities to enable them to
move their possible products to the
waters edge. The shipbuilding &C
tivHies Of the war and the years which
immediately followed it have given to
the world ample facilities for trans
porting merchandise on the oceans,
but railway construction has been
practically suspended since the be-
ginning of the war and when we ex-
anime the maps OF the continents
above named it is apparent that they
have within their respective interiors
enormous producing areas which
have no facilities for moving their
products or possible products to the
waters edge.
South America, for instance, with
an area of 100000 square miles has
but $1,000 miles of railway while the
United States with an area less than
half that of South America has 49,
600 miles. Africa, with an area of
100000 square miles has but 81
600 miles of railway, while Europe
with an area one-third as much as
that Of Africa has $4,000 miles OF
road. Asia. with an area more than
FIVE times that Of the United States,
