ONE DEAD AND SIX NURED
Auto Endurance Contest Marked by
Big Hospital List
SIMPLEX CAR IS HI THE LEAD
At Katl of Twelve lloara It Was Kle
Miles Ahead of the Stearns,
Which Led the Italner by
Thirteen Miles.
BRIGHTON BEACH MOTORDROME,
N. Y., May ll.-One man killed and another
painfully maimed and five more badly
bruised was the hospital record for the
first twelve hours of the twenty-four-hour
race held at the Brighton Beach motor
drome track last night and today. At the
end of the tenth hour the Flat car led,
with 497 miles to Us credit, and the Rslnlef
wan only one mile behind.
The cars, with the Bulck pau- in the lead,
ran without u serious mishap until mid
night, thus disappointing the auguries of
those who criticised the starting of the
contest on Friday, the r.th.
Eighteen minutes after midnight the
looked-for crash came. The Marlon car,
driven by Hubert Anderson, lor through
the fence on the turn Into the homestretch
and turned turtle. Anderson jumped clesr
of the wreck, but his mechanician. William
F. Bradley, was so badly mangled that he
died an hour later tn the Emergency hos
pital at Coney Island from concussion of
the brain and a fracture of the skull.
The second accident happened at S o'clock
this morning when the Bulck car No. 2,
driven by George D. Witt crashed through
the Inner fence on the turn Into the back-
stretch The driver escaped unhurt, but
the mechanican, Jack Towers, sustained a
fracture of a leg and internal Injuries.
Early this morning the doctors at the
emergency hospital aid Towers was resting
easy and would probably recover.
About three hours later the other Bulck
car was disabled by the breaking of a
crank shaft and tt was towed Into the pad
dock by-the official car.
Strang: Back on Track.
Louis Strang, after an hour's delay, had
the Marlon car going again and he made
a good showing. In speeding around the
turn Into the home stretch Strang had a
miraculous escape from a spill, as he tore
through the fence and came out (through
the other angle of the barrier without a
scratch.
The score for the tenth hour, 7 a. m.,
was:
Flat,' 4S7; Rainier. 49S; Simplex, 492;
Stearns No. 1, 476; Bulck No. 1. 453; Crox-ton-Keeton,
461; Stearns No. 2. 435; Marlon,
425; tielden, 107; Cole, 353; Bulck No. 2, 305;
Houpt, 266.
Half-Way Score.
At. the end of the twelfth hour the Sim
plex was leading with 598 miles, five miles
ahead of the Fiat, which was thirteen
miles In front of the Rainier. The Stearns
No. 1 was fourth, at 679 miles.
The record was twenty-six miles behind
the Buick's of last year.
At 9:50 the Cole car ran through the
fence on the corner leading Into the home
stretch. William Endlcott, the driver, suf
fered an Injury of one of his legs and
Mechanician John McGruder was cut on
the shoulder.
Foot Ball Rules
Are Framed Up
For Fall Games
Regulations Completed, with For
ward Pass Unrestricted, and
Committee Adjourns.
NEW YORK, May 14. The Intercollegiate
foot ball rules committee yesterday decided
to retain the forward pass unrestricted. Tho
committee framed a number of rules de
signed to throw safeguards around this and
other plays and adjourned sine die, having
completed the tssk of "reforming" foot ball,
which haa kept It busy much of the time
since the first of last February.
The details of the new game was left
In the hands .of a sub-comintttee composed
of Walter Camp of Yale, Dr. Carl Williams
of the University 'of Pennsylvania and
Percy D. Haughton of Harvard, but as the
new regulations are largely theoretical It
Is admitted that the precise results will
not be known' until the season of 1910 Is
well under way.
Having weakened the offense by the new
rules previously adopted, some method had
to be invented to strengthen the offense
as an offset and so great effort was ex
pended to form a plan fir retaining the
forward pass. Without It, under new re
strictions, scoring would be so difficult that
the game would be almost destroyed.
Under the rules adopted today the player
making the pass must be a; least five
yards behind the scrimmage line when the
pass Is made and the player receiving the
ball must not be more than twenty yards
In advance of the place where the ball was
passed. Only the end men of the line of
scrimmage and the four men In the back
field are eligible to receive the forward
pass, and the backs in order to be eligible
must be at least one yard behind the line
of scrimmage when the ball Is put In play.
The committee adopted a rule which
reads: "In case a player with the ball
crawls after the ball Is declared dead his
team shall be penalised flvo yards."
The committee adopted a provision that
any player withdrawn from the game for
eny cause except disqualification may re
turn once at the beginning of any subse
quent quarter. This lu to allow a tired
player to recuperate and to remove the
temptation to keep players In the gam
when thy are not In fit condition.

Why Nobody Teld Her.
A certain woman In Connecticut has
quite a reputation as a singer at funera-a,
lu one year she sang at 167 of these lu
gubrious functions. Not only hr own
town, but village and cities for mllea
around bespoke her services on such occa
sions. Last fall the woman foreswore fu
nerals for a while and went away on a va
cation. The day after her return ahe met
a neighbor who was 40, . thin and plain
spoken.
"Good morning, Martha," said the fu
neral prima donna. "How la your mother
this morning?"
"Ma's dead," drawled Martha.
"Oh, I am so sorry," ssld th singer.
"Can I be of any asslstanc?"
"No, I guesa not." aald Martha.
The singer was surpriaed at that.
"When Is your mother to be burled?"
eh ssked.
"Ma's hurltd," said Martha, who In her
turn showed astonishment.
"What?" exclaimed the singer. "Why,
It Is strange I didn't hear anything about
tt. When did ahe die?"
"About six months ago."
The ainger's bewilderment Increased.
"I must have bean away at the time."
he raid, "but It I funny that nor of my
family to'd m anything about It."
1 gues." said Martha, "they didn't
think It worth while to tell you, seein's
you wss her and sang at th funeral."

B E.S.N' LOMOND. Cat.. May 14.-Jeffrles
confined his woik today to n ton-mile
tramp to Santa Crux, whrro lie took a hot
w.ter biith. lie whilcd away the morning
hours lazily pulllnj; n boat up and down
the San Lorer.zo ilver. In the afternoon
he decided on the long walk to Santa Crus.
He declared beforn Htm tin that he In
.ended dolnir the entire ten miles In slow

hi other. Jack. Both Choynski and Arm
strong wrre wcl". pleased with the plans
for the long walk and tho resultant respite
from the strenuous period In the ring.
Th two boers would not ho displeased
If Jeffries decided to emulate old man
Weston every day until the fight.
It is believed here that Eddie Oraney
stands a good chance of being selected as
the third man In the ring. Manager Sam
Berger left here for San Francisco this
evening to take up the selection of a
referee. Eddie Smith Is tho only one of
the three men under consideration who Is
optnly satisfactory to Berger. The latter
is sure to oppose the selection of either
Oraney of Welch when the question comes
up. Both Rickard and Gleason are favor
able to Graney.
Johnson t.eta Pacer.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 14. Just to
prove to Tex Rickard and others who are
concerned for hia sufety for the next two
months that an si tomoblle Is not the Only
means of travel, Jack Jonnson Is doing
some of his speeding along the park boule
vard behind Little Dick, a local pacer,
loaned to him by one of his friends.
The Idea came to the fighter when one
of the newspaper ' photographers saw the
rig In front ot the training quarters and
suggested he would like a picture or so,
Johnson agreed to the picture Idea and
after all was over remarked that he would
like to take a turn up the road.
The routine of a twelve-mile grind along
the roads In the forenoon may be palling
on Johnson, as he has changed his route.
This morning he took Barney Furey with
him over an entirely new course and one

Jt will alwuys be my belief that polyg

Some wise old guy has remarked that
"In this world man must be either a ham

I often wonder why people become so en
thusiastic over giving money when they
see for a fact that their names are to ap

I sometimes think that reformers need
reforming because they become so Intem
perate and so sualous that they are incon
sistent and do more harm than good.
The politician who announces himself for

In gowns and can't cut ice without 'em.
They say It is a commercial age but that

along that line he goes after dollars. All

LOSC AND SHORT HAUL CLAUSE
Compromise Provision to Railroad
Bill Adopted in Senate.
FEES ALL RELATIVE CHARGES
Makca It Vnlawful to Pot Excessive
Rate on Short Trip Senators
Barkett and Brown Fa
vor It.
WASHINGTON. May 14.-B.V a sudden
welding yesterday of supposedly Irrecon
cilable factions, the senate by a vote ot
56 to 10 adopted a compromise amendment
to the railroad bill, for the regulation of
relative charges for long and short, haul.
The agreement was reached chiefly for the
reason that each faction apparently
thought It was getting the better of a
shrewdly driven bargain. Some senators
tonight suggest that the supreme court may
have to arbitrate the question as to which
faction's judgment is right
Before adjournment Senator Bacon sought
to show that Senator Aldrlch, leader of
the forces In charge of the bill, had vote,d
for a provision different from that which
he had advocated during the long debate
on this question. Senator Bailey remarked
that Mr. Bacon was mistaken and was
quoting from his (Bailey's) remark.
"I hope the senator! from Texaa will not
Interfere," said Mr. Aldrlch laughingly,
"the senator is trying to Justify his action
In voting with me."
"That is the time I usually have to
Justify my vote," retorted Mr. Bacon.
Senator Elklns Happy.
While upholding regular republicans for
what he asserted was a change of front,
Mr. Bacon was Interrupted by Senator
Elklns, whose ruddy face was wreathed
with smiles as he asked:
"Well, you're happy, aren't you?"
This raillery plainly Irritated the Georgia
senator, for he retorted rather sharply
that it took "a very little thing to make
some people happy."
"Maybe the senator will find that it la a
big thing," said 8'nator Elklns, beaming
across the chamber. Significant glances
passed between senators and the people on
the floor and In the galleries began to sus
pect the compromise amendment that had
just been adopted meant something dif
ferent than appeared upon its face.
The New Section
As adopted the r.ew provision; strikes out
of section 4 of the Interstate commerce
law "under substantially similar circum
stances and conditions," and also eliminates
the proviso of that section and amende the
section so as to make It read as follows:
"Section 4 That it shall be unlawful for
any common carrier subject to the pro
visions of this act to charge or receive any
greater compensation In the aggregate for
the transportation of passengers, or of like
kind of property for a shorter than for a
longer distance over the same line ot route
in the same direction, the shorter being In
cluded within the longer distance, or to
charge any greater compensation as a
through route than the aggregate of the
local rates; but this shall not be construed
as authorising any common carriers within
the terms of this act to charge or receive
as great compensation for a shorter aa for
a longer distance:
"Provided, however, that the Interstate
Commerce commission may, from Its
knowledge, or from information or upon
application, ascertain that the circum
stances of the long haul are dissimilar to
the circumstances and conditions of the
short haul, whether they result from com
petition by water or rail; then It may au
thorise a common carrier to charge less
for the longer than for the shorter dis
tance for the transportation of passengers
or property; but in no event shall the au
thority be granted unless the commission
is satisfied thst all of th rates Involved
are just and reasonable and not unjustly
discriminatory nor unduly preferential or
prejudicial.
Present Hatea Incbaaged,
"And provided further, that no rates or
charges lawfully existing at the time o.
the passage of this amendment amendator
act shall be required to be changed by
reason of the provisions vf this section
prior to the expiration ot six months aftei
the passage of this act. nor in any case
where application shall have been filed be
fore the commission in accordance with tin
provisions of this section until a determina
tion ot such application by the commis
sion." Of the fifty-six votes In favor ot the
amendment twenty-two were given by re
publican senators who have opposed tht
insertion of any long and short haul pro
vision In the railroad bill, thirteen by demo
crats and the remainder by republicans,
chiefly Insurgents. The negstlve vote was
equally divided between republicans and
democrats.

provision wera:

I'oar O'clock Agreement.
The senate proceeded today under a unan
imous consent agreement reached yesterday
to begin at 4 o'clock upon the long and
short haul amendments, of which a dosen
or more had been submitted. The pending
amendment was one by Senator Heyburn of
Idaho, for which Senator Dixon of Montana
had made a substitute. The effect ot this
was to give the Montana senator posses
sion of the floor when 4 o'clock arrived.
For several day the "regular" republi
cans had boasted that they had a clear
majority to defeat all of the long and short
haul amendments.
The regulars had been assured of a num
ber of democratic votes. Just before 4
o'clock It came to the knowledge of Sena
tors Aldrlch and Elklns, that whlie the
democrats on their list would vote against
the Dixon amendment, they purposed later
to support an amendment Introduced by
Senator Overman of North Carolina, the
effect of which would be to place all rates
on a mileage basis. Such a provision would
be obnoxious to the opponents of a long
and short haul provision and they were
unable In a party poll to show a majority
against the Overman amendment.
Senators Carter of Montana and Emoot
ot Utah, supporters of a long and short
haul provision, received overtures from the
"regular" republicans who offered a com
promise In the form of a portion of the
original Dixon amendment and a proviso
taken from an amendment offered by Sen
ator Paynter.
a. moot Handlea Compromise,
Picturing the political effect of a humili
ating defeat through the adoption of an
exclusive democratic amendment that
would put the whole question on a mileage
basis the "regular" republicans encountered
little difficulty In bringing a large major
ity of the senste to their way of thinking.
The compromfse, which finally was ad
opted, was put In the hands of Senator
Smoot. and In turn he presented It to
Senator Dixon, who offered It as a modifi
cation ot his own amendment just before
I o'clock.
Through the clumsy handling ot scissors
and paste brush the composite compromise
was sent to the clerk's desk in a form far
different from that Intended by the auth
ors. As the clerk began to read, Senator
Aldrlch hurried to the desk of Senator
Dixon and a whispered conversation ensued.
Mr. Dixon clamored for recognition.
"I move that the senate recess," h
shouted, "until 4 o'clock."
He appeared greatly excited. The demand
for recess was met with cries of "no,"
"no," but on a vote a large majority sus
tained the demand.
Then followed a scene of great confusion
such as rarely takes place In the senate.
Some decleare It to have been unprecedented
In recent years. Obviously, few people
realised what th move meant. On every
side ther were cries that the unanimous
consent argreement had been violated. Evi
dently the Insurgent republicans did not
know what was happening and Senator
Brlstow, who had been In th cloak room.,
buist into the chamber with a bundle of
papers In his arms, which he threw to
the floor with every indication of anger.
Senator Cummins hastened lo Mr. Dixon's

"seat and Mr. LaFollctto followed. The con
versation which had taken place between
Messrs. Dixon and Aldrlch aroused sus
picion on evory side and a number of sen
ators without knowing what thu next step
was loudly charged that they were being
betrayed. .
Mr. Dixon ran from seat to seat, claim
ing they had "brought the regulars Into
camp," and that the coalition of republi
can and democratic supporters of the long
and short haul clause would bring a vic
tory greater, than they had anticipated.
Mr. Smoot whipped the compromise Into
shape.
The hour of 4:30 came and found the work
still incomplete. Mr. Dixon demanded an
other recess until 6 o'clock, but protests
were made by so many senators that he
obtained It only after a roll call which con
sumed nearly ten minutes of the precious
half hour.
The general conference of the recess hour
resulted In the restoration of the words of
th, Dixon amendment, which he had agreed
to eliminate. These provided that In mak
ing exceptions undor the long and short
haul clause the Interstate Commerce com- k
mission shall satisfy Itself that all the rates
involved are Just and reasonable. '
Wrangle Ensue.
Mr. Dixon presented ' the compromise.
Senator Heyburn Interposed a point of
order that the new amendment was not in
order under the unanimous consent agree
ment, which, he claimed, contemplated a
vote only upon matters pending at the time
the agreement was made. This led to a
wrangle, but Vice President Sherman fi
nally overruled the point of order, and the
vote waa taken resulting In tho adoption
of the compromise amendment.
After the vote several senators asaerted
that bpponents of the long and short haul
amendments had been compelled to accept
a provision which they had denounced as
revolutionary. Mr. Bacon openly taunted
Mr. Aldrlch with being willing to accept
anything to preserve his prestige and
prevent an appearance of defeat.
"I hope the senator has nut forgotten,"
Interposed Mr, Al-jilch. "the adage that
he laughs best, who laughs last." "
Mr. Bacon promptly Interpreted, this as
confession that Mr. Aldrlch wus counting v
upon having the provision stricken out lu
conference.
"I do not mean anything of the sort. I
believe the provision can be defended on
the principles that I have been advocating,"
replied the Rhode Island senator blandly.
Mr. Heyburn, who fought the amend
ment at every stage, closed by asserting
that It had been "a great day for the rail
roads." "Their flag has been flylnc to the breeze
by thla coalition," he declared, "They have
got all they want, and no doubt there will
be great rejoicing among them when they
hear what has been done."
