One of the- racers st rted to cross the street car track Main street when he Ninth and ell, sliding a distance of fifteen or the brick pavement. enty feet on ystanders who a moment before h rushed to get out of his way h to his assistance, expecting to find him seriously injured. However he jumped up, picked up his machine and started away to make up the lost time. At Sixteenth and Main streets a horse became frightened but did not cause any ser ious trouble. . A Thor machine was wrecked at Foley's greenhouse on the Liberty pikts. It was brought to the city. ' ' Several cf the men stated that the roads were bad, being very dusty and rough. This accounts for the number of accidents to machines the men have experienced. D. P. Whitney is the only man who entered this city who continued to have a perfect score. He was riding an Indian. The worst part of the route was yet to come when the racers left this city. ; This wes the hill country between this city and Liberty, and between Liberty and Connersville. The men were not expecting to get over these roads without suffering some more accidents to their machines. A Few Accidents. The trip bo far has been made without serious accident to any of the racers. One man went over a ditch sot far from Columbus while another ran Into a buggy on the way from Cleveland to Columbus and broke his machine and damaged the buggy. The hospitality accorded the visitors was commented upon by them. All arrangements had been made by the local officials. The Fall Festival association' had a man. distributing "turn-me-over" tags, advertising the festival. The Westcott hotel was the headquarters. A stand was placed on the street, at which place the men had to register as they entered and also before they left." The racers had to check in and check out again at Liberty. The last place where they check is at 'Indianapolis, this evening, at which time the officials will score the cars and-probably announce the results tomorrow. According to the rules the only repairs allowable without detracting from a perfect score, are tire repairs. .The Muncie Shamrocks will be the attraction at the Athletic park next Sunday, Aug. 15. They will be pitted against the Giants, an aggregation of colored ball players from this city and a fast game i!rtromised.

GOVERNMENT TOG GOES JO BOTTOM In Gloucester Harbor, Craft Sinks and Four Were Drowned.

EIGHT ESCAPED IN BOAT WIFE OF THE CAPTAIN AND HER YOUNG SON WERE RESCUED BY SAILORS AFTER BEING WASHED OVERBOARD. (American News Service) Boston, Aug. 11. The government tug Nozinscot sank off Thatcher's Island, Gloucester Harbor, early today. Assistant surgeon Charles E. C rotter, of the navy service.

An Illuminating 8tory of Industrial Warfare. The other day I happened to see in a paper, meant only for the eyes of employers an Interesting story of war. It was a reprint of the annual report of the Chicago and Great Western railway, in which it gives an account of how it broke a strike. It says It "resorted to professional strike breakers who are willing to work during excitement and danger, but who Tefuse to work after the excitement and danger are over. "They are poor mechanics," the report says, "and always demand high pay. The company paid them two months the wages which the strikers had demanded and. in addition, furnished them with board and lodging within the company's barricade. "The strike breakers are recruited from all parts of the country by means of advertisements in the newspapers and through employment bureaus. Fully 90 pe" cent of the strike breakers," the report says, "knew nothing about machinery and had to be got rid of, but that was not easy. "The first batch discharged consisted of about 100 men, who refused to leave the barricade, made themselves a fort within the company's barricade and. producing guns and knives, refused to budge. The company's fighting men after a day or two forced them out of the barricade Into a special train, which carried them under guard to Chicago." After going into details about the incompetence of the strike breakers and the methods used for breaking the strike the report says. "The fighting men have been discharged and the barricades removed." This is what is called law and order. It is not evidence. It is a gentle, peaceable effort on the part of the employers to protect honorable men seeking work from villainous union thugs who demand higher .wages and better conditions of work. That's what the papers tell us. The facts are the company refuses decent wages, puts up barricades, goes over the country and hires ex-convicts, prizefighters and lodging house bums, with guns in their hip pockets and knives in their . belts. It employs these men to run their business and to Incite war. The police, the militia and the courts, with the aid of exconvicts, prizefighters . and lodging house bums, stand by the company in the interest of property and civil war. Honest workingmen trying to better the condition of their families are met by this combination of capital, crime and government. The strike breakers are not there to work, but to fight. They are the Bowery type, readers of dime novels, itching to use a gun. They have no wives and children. They have no interest in honest industry and have no intention of working a day longer than the excitement and warfare continue. This Is the type of man that President Eliot of Harvard university calls the American hero. These thugs, ex-convicts and prizefighters he imagines are fighting for a great principle. They refuse to abide the tyranny of association with their fellows and stand up. as' free American citizens should, to maintain the right to work when, how and where they like. Isn't It delightful? And the beet of it Is that the railroads tell the story In their official report. - And what a combination It Is of the predatory and the parasite! Think of Idle stockholders, a capitalist government and professional criminals Joining together in this holy war agamst the tyranny of unions of decent, hardworking, honorable men who by their labor produce the wealth of the world.

W. L BAKER MAKES DEFENSE FOR SELF School Supply Agent Issues Publication on the Local Case. JORDAN RECEIVES A COPY

AUTHOR STATES THAT THE WAYNE COUNTY INCIDENT HAS BORNE GOOD FRUIT APPROVES HIS SYSTEM. Supt. Jordan has received a copy of a publication put out in the interest of the W. L. Baker School and Road Supply company in which attention is called to the recent episode concerning school supplies In this county. It will be remembered that Mr. Baker engineered the attempted coup where by bidders were to agree upon a uni form scale of prices in bidding for township contracts. The attempted combination failed and Baker became non pulsed by the result of his effort. He resented the publicity afterward given the affair and wrote letters to the trustees and superintendent protesting against such publicity. Baker's Statement. In his paper Baker attempts to put the stamp of approval on his scheme by asserting Governor Marshall aids the attempt to prevent overbidding and underbidding. He says the Wayne county incident has borne good fruit. The article is a criticism on the blank forms now being furnished the trustees. These forms are held up for ridicule through the use of satire. It is the class of forms specified by the state to which Baker takes exception. Touching upon the question of newspaper publicity, as an evident reflection of the affair in this county, the paper says: "Many prominent citizens participate in the sentiment that it Is exceedingly bad taste for the board to act on the gossip of a newspaper report or to deal with the public through the columns of a newspaper. The law requires the township to pay over $43,000 per year for printing their annual reports in a newspaper and this should be sufficient and it is gen erally deemed sufficient publicity without transacting all of the public business through the columns of the public press especially as it Is. It cannot be presented in a manner the public can understand even if interest ed. WAS VICIOUS HORSE "Let 'em kick."
