Geo. Brandeis
Declares Mule
Race Framed
Ed Peterson Worked Too Fast
Even For the Wise Ories
, , by Slipping in "Gay
Lightning."
Did Ed Peterson double " cross
George Brandeis in the mile mule
race?".is the title of a play staged at
the Ak-Sar-Ben race track Wednes
day, which George ever since has
been trying to figure out"? George
has about come to the conclusion
that it was foul play.
Tuesday there was a mule race. In
that mule race there was a little
mouse-colored mule that ' ran away
frm the, others like a Man-of-War
leaving a field of selling platers. ,f
Wednesday there was a mule race.
No one was supposed to know the
running qualities of the mule he was
to drive.
He Plays Fast
Here is where the first act begins."
George Brandeis remembered the
little mouse-colored mule and
George is a business man. So. he
wnt to the stable boys. George
talked business and had it all ar
ranged that he was to get the little
mouse-colored mule attached to his
sulky. He was to' drive around the
track to victory behind the little
K mouse-colored mule amid the plaU-
aus oi ine muuuuae.
George smiled when the , mules
faced the barrier, , He chuckled to
himself as the barrier was sprung.
Then the chuckle died in his
throat and the smile faded.
Big Gray is Speedster.
Here is act two.
J. E. Davidson was driving a big
gray mule. The big gray mule tore
up the track -at the very start like
Single G on the way to supper.
Uiddap, li 1 mule! yelled Georre
and the little mouse-c!ored mule
"giddaped" but ' the big gray mule
wa stretching his long gray legs
and laying his hoofs down on the
tracl as no big gray mule hjfid ever
done before. George finished third
with "Differential," his little mule.
But long before that J. E. Davidson
had thundered across th finish line
with "Gasoline," the big gray mule.
This is act threes
When George Brandeis tumbled
out of his sulky there wasn't a
single plaudit in his 'ears. He turned
his face, registering chagrirt, amaze
ment, and a sorof dazed stupefica
tion, toward Ed. Peterson, owner of
all the mules in the race.
Getting the "Mule Laugh."
Tears were streaming down Pefr-'
son's face. They -weren't tears of
sympathy. , J
"Haw! Hawl HawP roared Peter

Curtain.
So. George thinks it was & foul
play. He has' told friends that he
suspects, Peterson of framing the

mule. -

Ramboullet, France, Sept. 16.
(ByThe Associated Press.) Paul
Deschanel, president of France, pre
sented his resignation trom that of
fice today. The, president, at his
residence here, gave hi? letter of res
ignation and a presidential message
to accompany n 10 rremier aiu
lerand. who will read the documents
to the Senate and Chamber pf Dep
uties on Tuesday.
-The version of the cause of Pres
ident Deschanel s recent relapse giv
en by the Temps today is that it
was due to a fall into the canal" in
Rambouillet park at about 6 o'clock
last Friday morning. The president
was rescued by fishermen who hap
pened to be nearby, the newspaper
says.
Name Successor September 25.
The jTational assembly will con
vene at Versailles Saturday, Septem
ber 25, to consider the election of a
successor to President Paul Des
chanel, according to an official an
nouncement today.
Mr.' Millerand will receive the
presidents of the Senate and the
Chamber of Deputies tomorrow aft
ernoon to discuss the convocation of
Parliament.
President Deschanel's resolve to
resign from office was reached upon
the advice of his physicians, accord
ing to the Echo de Paris. The presi
dent reached a decision in the mat
ter several days ago and since that
time has seemed to be much relieved
over the prospect of a release from
the burdens of public life. He ram
bled through Rambouillet park
with hisjwife and children yesterday,
the newspaper says, and the fact
that he is soon to return to private
life seems to have given him renewed
hope, and confidence.
Reads Like Shakespeare.
"The latest Chapter in the life of
M. Deschanel," says the newspaper,
"reads like an act from a Shake
spearean drama. A few mornings
ago he was found walking toward
a lake in the park where his valet
was "fishing, and it seemed that he
was drawn toward the water by
some mysterioiJs force. He was led
back to his apartments and physi
cians were hastily summoned, but
they found no serious symptoms had
made their appearance."

Unfavorable tIcws On'
Auto Company Discounted
Newbrk, Sept 16. Many ru
mors regarding Pierce-Arrow Motor
Car company which are current
probably come from the same source
as did the various stories circulated
about a year ago, when the common
stock was run up by a pool to $9V a
share, qn he theory that the'epm
pany Was to Je absorbed by Gen
eral Motors corporation.
The automobile business in general
is not, of course, in as good condi
tion as it might be. Pierce-Arrow's
sales, bke those of most other mo
tor vehicle manufacturers, have
fallen off. It is realized that the au
tomotive industry is going into a
period where it will be necessary to
trim sale, reduce ou'put and curtail
expenses as much as possible. How
ever, there are few automobile com
panies in better condition or more
liquid than Pierce-Arrow.
The company . has more than
enough cash on hand to pay off its
bank loans. Accounts receivable,
which with Pierce-Arrow are always
quick and liquid, are well in excess
'of accounts payable and inventories
are neither Jarge nor overbalanced.
