[RESIGNED today W. J. Archbod. Who Since 1894, Has Served as Agent For ADAMS EXPRESS CO. Today Tendered Resignation —Will Devote Time to Mercantile Interest. W. J. Archbold, who for seventeen years has served faithfully and well as local agent for the Adams Express company, today sent to headquarters his resignation, the same to take effect April Ist. The resignation is made that Mr. Archbold can the more fully devote his time to the duties devolving upon himself as a partner in the True & Runyon general mercantile store, an interest in which he recently acquired, as stated in this paper. Mr. Archbold, who is now city treasurer, will not relinquish that office. but will move his office to the True & Runyon store, where he can attend to the duties of that office in addition to his work at the store. Mr. Archbold began his duties as agent for the Adams Express company in September, 1894, and has served continuously since, to the great satisfaction of the company and its patrons, and it will take some time before Decatur people can get used to seeing any one else but "Billy" behind the Adams Express office windows. His successor, of course, is not known, as the company has probably not yet received notice of the resignation, but it is safe to say that they will have to to "search some" to get anyone as faithful as "Billy.” o IS QUITE SICK. Mrs. Arthur Suttles Suffers Sudden Heart Attack. While engaged about her daily housework this morning Mrs. Arthur Suttles took a sudden spell of illness and her condition is somewhat serious. Heart trouble is what the physicians attribute the nature of her sickness and a nurse was at once sent for at Fort Wayne. The news of her illness spread rapidly and much anxiety exists among the relatives and those who are caring for her. - PUBLIC SALE.

DEVELOPS DARE DEVILS DRIVING AUTOS IN TRAFFIC MAKES GREAT RACE PILOTS. Moat of World's Motor Have Originally Started as Chauffere in City Streets, Where Quick Action Is Required. Indianapolis, Ind.-- Where doe* the dare-devil automobile race pilot come from? This is the question asked by hundreds of the spectators who see the motor masterit of today rush madly around the great road courses and speedways of the nation in quest of honor and gold. The average race driver who is seen In the space annihilating monsters which careen wildly over the tracks thinks no more of sending his steel steed al uig at the death-inviting pace than he would of driving a touring car through the city streets —in many cases not half so much. The fact of the matter is that two-thirds or more of the racing drivers of today were traffic drivers of yesterday. The greatest drivers of today have been traffic and demonstration drivers. Louis Chevrolet drove traffic in New York City for five years; his brother Arthur did the same. Victor Hemery drove traffic in Germany many years before he raced a car. Ralph DePalma was a traffic driver in New York. "Wild Bob’’ Burman drove a demonstrating car for several years. Most of these drivers and many others will compete in the 500-mile International Sweepstakes Race over the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, on Memorial Day, May 30 next. There have been nine entries made for the race thus far as follows: Lewis Strang, Louis Larsonneur and Joe Jagersburger, In Case cars; C. B. Baldwin, In an Inter-State "50”; Johnny Aitken, in a National “40” 1911 Speedway model: Frank P. Fox, of Indianapolis, in a Pope-Hartford, and Louis Dlsbrow in the same make of car; Harry Knight, in a Westcott, the other entry being a Simplex, for which no driver has been named so far. It is possible that Ralph DePalma, the mile track champion of 1910, will pilot this last named car through the long grind. WESCOTT ENTERS LONG RACE Automobile Made at Richmond, Ind., to Try for Honors at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Indianapolis, Ind. One of the entries which has been made in the 500-mile International Sweepstakes Race for $25,000 in gold, to be held on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next Memorial Day, is a Westcott specially built car, with Harry Knight, one of the youngest speedway drvers in the boniness, nominated as the pilot. The big motor which the Westcott Company is building for this long race is identical in construction with the motor which is used in the Westcott stock care, excepting that it is increased in size and horsepower. The smaller Westcott car that Knight has been driving has been a consistent performer in Speedway events of the past and has been especially successful in long races. Although Knight did hot drive in many events in the 1910 season, he piloted his small car through a free-for-all race of 100 miles, and finished second to Eddie Hearne in his big Benz. Later in the season Knight finished second in the Coca Cola Trophy race at Atlanta, losing that event by a margin of about twenty-two seconds. The'young driver sent his car over the 100-miie distance at Atlanta in eightysix minutes and thirty-two seconds. The Westcott car is manufactured at Richmond, Indiana, and entered the racing game only last season. It proved to be speedy and several times it has gone through the loag grinds with a nonstop record to its credit AITKEN TO DRIVE ONCE MORE Famous Auto Pilot Enters Sales Department for the National Company at Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Ind. “John D. Aitken, Automobile Salesman.” That is the way the title of the famous National Motor Car racing pilot reads now. Business has lured the daring driver away from the wheel of the big blue machine. Aitken is now associated with Bruce M. Wylie, who has charge of the National branch in Indianapolis. Although Johnny is entered in the 500-mile $25,000 Sweepstakes Race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway the forthcoming Decoration Day, nevertheless he is about done with the speed game, and did not accompany the National squad on their triumphant march up the Pacific Coast. VANDERBILT WINNER TO RUN. After twice winning the Vanderbilt Cup race, one of the hardest road race tests in the world, the famous Alco car driven by Harry Grant will be on the 1911 racing circuit. Probably the first appearance of Grant and his car will be in the $25,000 race of 500 miles at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next Decoration Day. SPEEDWAY STANDS SEAT 60,000. One of the greatest seating capacities of any stadium in the world of sports is that of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Four monster stands seat fully 60,000 persons comfortably and under pressure will accommodate 75,000 spectators.
