NEW YORK, Oct. . Four-wheeled ve
hicles of all aorta of Incongruous ,shapea,
rushing along the road at a speed of some
sixty miles to ninety miles an hour, the
air resounding with the "honk, honk" of
horns, the clanging of bells, and the
shouts of guards; signal flags waving and
fluttering, and an occasional cheer from
thousands of throats was the atmosphere
In Mlneola, Hempstead, Garden City and
other Long Island suburbs of Greater New
York today during the 300-mlle auto race
for the Vanderbilt. Jr., cup.
One death, one man In the hospital se
riously Injured, many lives placed In Jeop
ardy during seven or eight hours of the
day and many thousands of dollars ex
pended Is the result.
The story of the race Itself la one of
Intense excitement and nerve tension.
After funning for seven hours, sometimes
at a speed of sixty miles to ninety miles
an hour, faster than many express trains,
George Heath, an American, driving a
nlnety-horise-power vehicle of foreign make,
and representing the Automobile club of
Franco, finished first in the run of 300
miles, with Albert Clement, representing
the same club and driving an eighty-horse-power
mnchlne, also of foreign make,
one mlnuto and twenty-eight seconds be
hind htm.
When the men flashed by the Judges the
crowds In the adjoining stand rose In a
body and cheered, but the award was not
certain; for Clement lodged a protest with
the racing board of the Automobile asso
ciation of America under whose control the
race was held, and the decision given but
a few minutes before was withdrawn until
the board had made an Investigation Into
the claims set forth by Clement. These
were of a technical character. Cloment In
his protest declared that he had been held
up In Hempstead over a minute and a
half and that If this was allowed him he
would have won the race.
Like all previous races of the kind there
was a chapter of accidents and fatality.
The victims were among the participants
In the contests. Fortunately none of the
spectators along the course was hurt.
The man killed whs Curl Meusel. a chauf
feur, who was driving the car of Oeorge
Arents of New York. The accident was
caused by the tires slipping and It occurred
about 8 o'clock, two hours after the start.
The car was traveling at a tremendous
rate and was approaching a curve when It
suddenly swerved and turned completely
over. Muesel was caught beneath the ma
chine, while Arents was thrown to one
side. Both men were taken to i hospital,
where Muesel died half an hour later,
Arents escaped with a few cuts and bruises.
Arents' car was demolished.
The race was started at 6 o'clock. The
oourse was over a thirty-mile triangle,
with turns that were sharp and dangerous.
At two places the railroad crossed the high
way at grade, and these places were
guarded by signal men. Twice at these
crossings Gabriel, a French motorist, nar-'
rowly missed being struck by a train, in
one Instance running but two feet ahead
of a locomotive.
Of the eighteen starters but eight re
mained in the race, at the fifth round of the
triangle, or when the race was half over.
Heath covered the last lap of the thirty
miles at the rate of seventy-two miles an
hour. His average speed during the ten
laps was fifty-two miles an hour.
The four remaining In tho race, and who
were from two to three laps behind at the
finish, were called off without being allowed
to finish, because of Its being found Im
possible to keep the crowd nny longer
under control after the exciting race be.
tween Heath and Clement.
At the 150-mlle point, or the end of the
fifth round, the standing was In this order:
Heath, Gabriel, Clement, Lyttle, Tarte.
The offlolal elapsed time for the ontir
course of S00 miles is: Heath, S hours 20
minutes 46 scoonds; Clement, 8 hours 28
minutes 13 seconds.

NEW YORK, Oct I -Chairman Taggart
of the democratic national committee re
ceived a dispatch from Montana today stat
ing the labor organisations of that state
had endorsed the Parker and Davla elec

means the electoral vote of Montana for
the democratic ticket.
Senator Patterson of Colorado Is sched

Judge Parker, in a discussion of polltloal
affair In his elate. He said thai fctlOnal-
Ism , In the democratic pariy bad been
eliminated, and that there nre defections
In the republicanparty concerning national
Issues and the foreign policy of the present
administration. These, he ald, placed
Rhode Island In the doubtful column and
give the democrats a good chance of carry,
lng It for Pnrker and Davis, as well as tor
the state ticket
, "Methods adopted by the republican cam
paign committee show thst they are wor
rled over the situation," said the governor.
"The committee has engaged every hall
large enough to conduct a political meeting
for every night except Sundays from now
until election day. If we hold an Indoor
meeting ltTnust be on Sunday and we don't
like to do that. We may have to resort to
tent meetings entirely. I believe the action
of the republicans will react on that party.
We have one congressman now and think
we will elect the other. We are making a
fight to carry the legislature against Sana

In connection with his visit It was learned
that an understanding exists between the
democratic national committee and the cen
tral committees of doubtful states whereby
state candidates will divide their time so
as to aid In furthering the Interests of the

The Ak-8nr-Ben festivities closed last
night in a blase of glory, the culminating
event being the grand masquerade ball at
the auditorium. The various features of
the week have all been up to the anticipa
tions both of the projectors and the specta
tors. They have attracted as large. If not
larger crowds from outside of the city than
on any previous ossuslon nnd from visitors
and home people there has been nothing
but words of praise for the spectacles and
the entertainment offered. The only possi
ble drawback was the lack of room In the
auditorium to accommodate nil who desired
to attend. Foreseeing thHt this was likely
to be the case Samson arranged for the
masquerade bull of last night, which was
Intended to be, and was, a popular affair.
Early In the evening the gay revellers be
gan to gnther at the Auditorium, and by the
time the orchestra struck up the first num
ber the floor was crowded with a gay
crowd as Is ever likely to assemble within
its walls. There were costumes beautiful
nnd homely, unique and commonplace, fan
tastic and plain, in fact It appeared that
the Ingenuity of the court costumer of nhe
realm of King Ak-Sar-Ben had been taxed
to the limit and had any more desired to
attend he would have been forced to repeat
himself. And the people were there o(
every kind except the dlscontened or sorry
Individual, and If he entered the doors at
all the atmosphere of the place soon com
pelled him to seek other quarters.
The decorations for the Ak-Sar-Bcn ball
were all In place and tho big hall Itself pre
sen ted the same brilliant and beautiful ap'
pearance as on this occasion. The orches
tra gave the signal about 8 o'clock and
from that time on unell the early hours of
the morning the fun never ceased.
CARNIVAL GATES ARB CLOSED
Large Crowd of Fun Lovers In at the
Window.
The requiem of the seventh annual Ak
Bar-Ben Oriental street fair and varnlval
was sung last evening by a lusty throng
and It was the hour of midnight before the
last belated celebrant found his way out
of the turnstile, shaking the confetti from
the recesses of his garments and hat as
he walked along, tired but cherishing the
memory of a good time. And when the
gates were officially closed the Ak-Sar-Ben
captains of industry gathered themselves
together and shook hands, knowing an
other season's labors were at an end so far
as the fall festivities were concerned and
with a eense of pardonable pride 'In the
fact that the masses had enjoyed a season
of unalloyed pleasure and entertainment.
Today they sleep until noon; tomorrow
they and other vassals of King Ak-Sar-Bcn
X return to the sterner realities of life.
The king's sword will be turned Into a
plowshare and the sound of the tinkling
Cymbal and sounding brass will not be
heard again until next year's royal sports
are announced.
The closing of this year's carnival was
somewhat more ausplclo 'i than last In
that last evening's tempe. ,uro at 9 o'clock
was 73, against 68 at the same time on the
closing evening of 1903, This weather con
ditlon had an appreciable effect on the at
tendance last evening, over 12,000 having
passed through the tickers before the cur
few whistle blew. The Board of Governors
of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben expressed
themselves last evening as highly pleaaed
with the general results of this year's car
nival, all things considered. The elements
militated somewhat against a larger at
tendance this year and the unfortunate
accident that delayed the electrical parade
and kept the crowd on the streets until
nearly 10 o'clock cut tho attendance at the
street fair from 5.00(1 to 8,000, according to
the estimate of several of the Beard of
Governors.
So far as the Concessions are concerned,
a canvass showed that the meritorious at
tractions exceeded Inst year's receipts by a
good figure and several have nlrandy asked
to bo booked for a return next year.
The Douglns county sgrlcultural and live
stock exhibits were on n larger scale than
before and those In charge of this depart
ment expressed themselves as highly
plessod with the showing made In their
branch of the carnival. About IS.CO was
offered this year In premiums and disburse
ments will he larger this year than any
year this feature hna been connected with
the street fair. The live stock department
was particularly large this year, the pens
being extended to the southeast corner of
the grounds. As usual, the fruits and
vegetables were sold Inst evening to vis
itors. '
Last evening was traveling men's night
and a goodly number of the knights of the
grip visited the carnival grounds and
sampled everything In sight.
In the aggregate the rnllroad business In
cident to the fall festivities' shows an en
couraging Increase over last year, when the
total passengers carried were 43,200 at a
revenue of 887,250, while the estimates furn
ished by the passenger departments of the

While some of the railroads show an In
crease over last season In the number of
people brought Into Omaha, several show
no appreciable gain. The Northwestern!
leads in the matter or increase, with the
Union Pacific second. The weather waa
cold and threatening, which Is believed to
havl had some effect on travel. The Satur
day tralna entering the Union and Burling
ton statlona were crowded despite the fact
the day waa the last of the Carnival.
The street car company officials assett
that Thursday of last week waa not equal
to the biggest day of last year, when the
street cars carried 128.874 passengers. The
difference Is attributed to the weather,
which ia thought to have kept some of the
Omaha people at home.
Proprietors of the local hoatelrles aay
business during the festive season was
good, the principle feature being In the
number of persons who stsyed a length of
time, many remaining a week or more,
which Is tsken aa an evidence of general
prosperity throughout the kingdom of Qui

crowd was from 10 to 16 per cent larger
than last year and we could not begin to
accommodate all who applied."
Sergeant of Police Dempsey, who had
charge of the police work on the grounds,
says the crowds were generally well be
haved; In fact better deportment ohtalned
generally than In former years. In some
Instances Individuals exceeded the verities
of the Carnival grounds, but In the main
the 100,000 and more who passed through
the gates received a high credit mark by
the police department last evening at the
close of the Carnival. More confetti was
sold this season than ever before and yet
less throwers of the Oriental face powder
were arrested this year than last season.
Last evening Manager "Pony" Moore was

DIVORCE CANON ON MONDAY
General Convention of Episcopal
Chnreh Will Resume Discussion
Brief Session Yesterday.
BOSTON, Oct. 8. The greetings of the
Anglican church In Canada were trans
mitted to the Episcopal general convention
nt a brlof session today by Rt. Rev. Charles
Hamilton, bishop of Ottawa; Rt. Rev.
James Cnrmlehnel, bishop coadjutor of
Montreal, and Dean Evnna, also of Mon
treal. Bishop Hamilton thought tha't the
I'nltcd States might well adopt some of
the rrthods of dealing with divorce which
were In 'vogue In his country, where tho
courts which sever marriage had little to
do.
The business session of the convention
was ended at noon for the week, the arch
bishop of Canterbury, bishops, deputies and
members of the Woman auxiliary devot
ing the afternoon to sight seeing and a
reception In Cambridge.
Tomorrow the archbishop . of Canterbury
will preach In Trinity church and the other
Episcopal pulpits of the city will be filled
by bishops or other prominent churchmen.
It Is announced that the divorce question
will be taken up by the convention on Mon
day. Richmond, Va., Is favored by many dele
gates as the place for the convention of
1907, and It is understood that a committee
of which J. Plerpont Morgan Is chairman
will recommend that city. The fund raised
by the Woman's auxiliary for the Board
of Missions now amounts to $150,0), the
largest In the church's history. ,
A discussion developed over the report
of the committee on the dispatch of busi
ness thut the report on the proposed new
canons on marriage and dlvorco be taken
up next Monday. Chief Justice Stiness of
Rhode Island, Rev. Dr. John Fulton of
Philadelphia and others argued against
crowding legislation on the house, but the
deputies voted to call up the divorce ques
tion on that day. A message from the
house of bishops announced that It had
concurred with the house In discouraging
the committee on changing the name of
the church.
Among the memorials presented were:
"That the Western Texas Missionary dis
trict be admitted as a diocese, and that
the name of the Diocese of West Missouri
be changed to that of Kansas City.
A member of the Nebraska delegation
was the first to bring before the house
a proposal to permit the election of suf
frage and bishops in large dioceses or
localities where there are large num
bers of colored people or persons of for
eign extraction. The matter cams up in
the form ot an amendment to a eanon
bearing on tho election of bishops. It
waa referred to a committee.
A committee to which a proposition to
plaoe the navy and army ehaplalna under
the bishop of Washington waa submitted,
reported against tho plan and was dis
charged.
The house of bishops voted to sdmlt
Montana as a diocese and also voted In
favor of admitting Western Texaa as a
diocese.'
Although ho official action has been taken
It Is understood that the next triennial
convention is likely to be held In Rich
mond, Va. '
