MAT FANS IN GREAT TURMOIL Prospect of Strenuous Session Brings ; Out Much Money on Both Sides. BACK NEBRASKA MAN FOR FAIR Every hotel shelters strangers who are here for the varied bill of at tratfions; the races, the ball game, the wrestle, and the pleasurable times afforded by metropollton cele bration of Independence day. . A early as , yesterday morning tho visitors began to arrive. Early trains brought them from all directions. EJvery i road leading to Omaha bore constant j streams of saucy, honking automobiles. Many farmers and residents of outlying vicinities even hitched up their lrss ex peditious vehicles and started, Late last night there was still a steady stream pouring In from over the Douglas street bridge and from roads entering tho city from the opposite direction. It is obviously an ' Impossibility to gauge the Influx of humanity. Private hoincs are crowded with friends and rela tives who are here to bet money that Joe Ktecher does or don't: boarding houses are filled with those learned in the lore of speedkings; hotels house the con glomeration. nark Nebraska Grapaler. Last, but not leaat, are those creatures who are here for the aole and only pur pose of seeing one Josephus Stecher em brace Charles Cutler of Greco-Roman fame. For the tlmo between now and to night cannot pass too swiftly. A bellboy In the Merchants hotel is au thority for the statement that many of tho visitors are so eager to do somoono a financial Injury that they stop In tho lobby, pull money out of tho bandanna and commence to size up the folks in the lobby before they even set down the car pet bag or register. Persons with a manicure or a Chicago paper sticking out ' of pocket are approached by a sun burned sportsman oftenor than trail hitters aieb temptation. The scene is the same In every hotel lobby. The residents of thta section of the country who are In Omaha for tha match, are determined not to let It be said that Joseph BUcher Is without honor in his own land. . Bo determined Is . the de termination that it almost amounts to defiance. There'll be. a, lot of good farm laud for sale this week If Josy Boy loses, ' but none of the visitors seem to heed the oft repeated warning to "alow up." 4 Autoists Advised ToJJse Grace Street Going to Speedway Autoists going to the Speedway race to day are urged by Police Captain Heltfeld to use the Grace street road Instead of Looust street, in order to avoid Jrafflo congestion on the latter, which is par tially blocked by work on the viaduct "The Grace street route Is a good one, well paved most of the way, and will save time for auto parties going tc the Speedway," Captain Heltfeld says. "I had a motorcycle officer inspect it, and he reports that It is the best route to the ' races. v "Take Grace street from Sixteenth to Kleventli, go north on Eleventh to Lake, east on Lake to Fifth, and thon north on Fifth to the specially prepared Speedway road Into tho grounds." Auto Truck Comes From Hartford and Has No Puncture A small auto truck, with a canvas top, tilled with camping equipment and labeled "Flivver Hotel," attracted much attention in front of the Omaha Auto club's headquarters at Hotel Fontenelle 6unday. It belonged to J. M. Gorton, H. C. Mitchell and A. H. Orosler, three young men who are touring from Hart ford. Conn., to San Francisco. They stopped off at Omaha, along with many Other tourists, and after en Joying a day'a sightseeing here, con tinued west over the Lincoln highway last evening. They have been out sinoe a week ago Friday, camp In the car at night and haven't had a single puncture so far. The Weather Forecsst of th. weather for Monday: For Nebraska Cloud y.

McCaskill Review the..j Repnblio't Greatness and Warns Against Egotism. PATRIOTIC SERVICES IN CHURCH From dozens of pulpiU Sunday morning, and evening as well, patri otic addresses and sermons were de- ' llvered, sine the Sunday chanced to fall on the Fourth of July, the one I. . A ,VI.. .UL ...l....M 'of the signing of tho Declaration of Independence. The nation s history was brieriy review in dozens of pul pits and the glories and greatness of the country dwelt upon. The churches were well filled, and while an occasional cannon firecracker, touched off by a small boy in the street, boomed forth, they failed to disturb the programs. Rev. C. W. McCaskltl of Hanscom Tarn Methodist church chose the theme. Freely Have Ye Received, reely Give." In applying this text to the national life of America he charged the congregation not to forget that a nation of great power must assume also great responsibility. He spoke of the greatness of the Ameri can nation, both in area and In resources. America Rataea KvrrrthlaK.' "The nation is as large as all the warring nations combined," ho said, "and there is nothing that is raised anywhere in the world that we cannot raise in our soil in America. Yet our greatness lies not In our area; our greatness lies not in our agricultural resources. Our great ness lies rather In the high order or In tellectual life of our average cittxens. Our greatness lies In the high intellectual and national life we enjoy. "We should be mindful that we owe a debt to the past. Our national greatness does not rest alone upon the efforts of those who have lived since 1776. , We must hark back to the days of such men as Luther. John Hues, John Knox, the Pilgrim fathers and many others who suffered and died for the cause of free dom. Let us not forget the brave men who wrested the. Magna Charts, from King John. We have Inherited great things from the past and" we owe much to the future. We have drawn from the archives of the past the glories of all that was best. We are God's favored people and It for us to preserve this great heritage and do our share in the world's work." Tha minister declared that this country is the most favored for commercial su premacy and U destined to be the great est civilised nation In the world.- : He warned, his .hearers against a. tend ency to disregard tha Eabbalh. Ho re ferred to the decadence of Franco when that oountry remembered not the Sab bath day to keep it holy, and he - tol how Fraitoe returned, penitently, to rec ognise tho Sabbath to save' that nation from Its Impending doom. Arrangements for Funeral of Porfirio Diaz Not Yet Made PARIS, July 1 Members of the family of General Porfirio Dias have not yet determined what arrangements wlll he made for the funeral of the late president of Mexico except that they, will be of simple character, in keeping with his quiet life In Paris. The ex-presldent cled last night as the result of a complication of diseases due to advanced age. General Dias during his four years' residence in Paris made few acquaint ances among the French people. He re ceived many Mexicans, especially when he first cam to France. He was always absorbed in the news from Mexico, but became more and more distressed by tha disorders there as his friends by letter and In person gave him pessimistic accounts of the conditions and the destruction of hla institutions. It does not appear that General Diss ever regretted his resignation from the presidency of Mexico after thirty years j of rule nor tnat ne leu inciinea 10 reiurn nor missea nut iosb 01 powor. nouunn that ha told his friends would indicate it. Only once so far as known did the gen eral endeavor directly to Influence Mexi can affairs. That was when ha allowed two of his friends to use hla name In recommending ' to' General Victorlano Huerta, when tho latter was provisional president of th. r.publlo, that ho yield to the desires of President Wilson and resign. ) Special Show at Den for Shriners Stopping in Omaha Monday night Is to bo without a show at Ak-6ar-Ben Din because It Is th. day set aside for th. celebration of th. an niversary of th.

TRACK TOO FAST FOR CARSi Deusenber; Team Finds it Hard to Cling to Steeple-Pitched Turns Despite High Speed. KEMERDELL GOES AROUND Eddie O'Donnell. Tom Alley and Billy Chandler, winners of second, third and fourth places at Sioux City Saturday, were the first three drivers to try out the new Omaha board speedway. All three of theso pilots sent their Deusenberg machines aver the boards at over ninety-five miles an hour Sunday afternoon. Chamllnr was the fjtst man to go on the track. Chandler arrived shortly after 1 o'clock and md several-laps around tha track. One li.p he turned at ninety-two miles an hour, but for all this speort found hlmneif unable o hang on to tho pitched walla at the turns. After msklng several futile attempts to go Into the curves without hugging the safety apron, Chandler decided thst his car was not fsst enough snd he hurried to the downtown garage where some more work was nut In on the engine. At o'clock Uilly again appeared, and this time clipped off ninety-five miles an hour. He was able to take the curves full and on several occasions ran clear to the top of the forty-two-degree bank, much to the delight of the large gathering of spectators. A car riding the top of one of the turns here is one of the most spectacular sights a speed enthusiast can hope to see. Following Chandler, Tom Alley took the trsck. but before he left he w ahle to i sail Into the curves under a full head of,""1 l" '" "" wl" " l steam and spin around without side slipping. Eddie O'Donnell was the third Deuennberg drlvef to appear and had no trouble after a few ' preliminary laps. Alley and O'Donnell both turned laps at nlnety-slz and ninety-seven miles an hour. Fiddle Rlckenbacher and Tom Orr. th. Maxwell drivers, did not go out on th. track, as they, kept working on their motors in the garage all afternoon. That the Omaha track la a year ahead of the motors is the asertlon of raca experts who are n attendance. Fasrt ths racing cars of tha country are fast enough to hold th. .teep-pltcl.ed wail. at.th. turns, and aven the Dounbg drivers, with cars that are capable of over 100 miles an hour, found It hard to hang on.
