THE RICHMOND PAUOITJM AXD SUX-TElLEGRASl, SATURDAY AUGUST 31, 1912.

URGE CROWD SEES THE ELGIN RACES Teddy Tetzlaff's Machine .Was Tampered With ; 'Tis Said.

BULLETIN. ELGIN, 111, Aug. 31,-George Clark, driver of a Mercedes car and Fred Malone, bis mechanician were painfully injured and their car demolished in making the Hornbeck turn on the sixth lap of the free-for-all races today. Malone was thrown from the car into the straw bales erected as a buffer at the turn. Clark's head was thrown backward striking the gasoline cap inflicting a deep scalp wound. Both of his wrists were sprained. Both front wheels of the car were turned oil and the radiator, badly smashed. -

(National News Association) ELGIN. 111., Aug. 31. With a rush and a roar ten racing cars with engines working to their limit, their mufflers open and barking like gatling guns, were sent, away at 11:07 in the two big racea. of the Elgin road meeting. The two races were run simultaneously, five of the cars being entered in both contests, one of which required thirty laps and the other thirty-six. ' 1 Fully fifteen thousand automobiles were parked along the routev A series ' of : accidents before the races started forced the withdrawal of four cars, among them the big Fiat car that was to have been driven by Teddy Tetzlaff, the favorite. The other cars to withdraw were one National, and two Salcars. The accident to Tetzlaff's machine is being Investigated by interested persons. He was running thirty miles an hour when the car slackened and came to a dead stop. Efforts to shift the gear failed and he opened the hood. Six bolts, holding the differential gear had been sheared off. Whether it was the result of an accident or whether1 the car had been tampered with, was the question the investigators tried to solve. Tetzlaff himself said he did not think anyone had tampered w)th the car, but at the game time he said he had never heard of an accident like that which occurred today. Jack Johnson, the pugilist, who droce an Austin racer to the track, offered his car to Tetzlaff or said he would drive the car himself if the officials would assign him Tetzlaff's number. The officials openly declined the proposition. Johnson and his white wife had a prominent position "near the , grandstand from which to view the races.,

NAPOLEON AND SUICIDE.

Hit Draft of Potaon and Hi Com ' ments on Self Destruction. It is said that when all seemed lost to Napoleon in 1814 the year before Waterloo he thought of suicide as an end to his career. He actually took a draft of poison. ' but the essential element In the concoction had lost Its efficacy. ne, however, couquered his inclination to self destruction, which be ever' afterward held in abhorrence, even during his hopeless exile at St. Helena. When during his first, consulship one of his grenadiers killed himself Napoleon Issued an order to the guards: ' . j . "The Grenadier Gobain has killed himself owing to a love affair.. He was otherwise an' excellent soldier. The first consul commands that the isuurds should be informed that a soldier, . ought: to conquer;, the grief and bitterness of. his passions; that ;there is the same courage in enduring with patience the . pong of the soul as in facing braTely the fire of a battery. To give oneself up to, grief without resistance or to kill oneself to; escape is to abandon the field of battle' before being beaten." In a conversation with Goethe, Napoleon blamed the poet for allowing Werther to commit suicide, and in 1S18 he said to O'Meara; "Suicide Is the act of a gambler who has lost everything or of a ruined profligate. I have always thought that a man shows more courage In supporting the evils that afflict him than in getting rid of his life." 1

TRAGIC IN ITS BREVITY. The Story of the Duel Between Hamilton and Burr. The story of the Hamilton-Burr duel Is tragic In Its brevity. .The little party of five -the principals, their seconds and the surgeon was on the ground not. long after sunrise. The preliminaries were soon arranged. As Pendleton. Hamilton's second, gave him his pistol he asked. "Will you have the hairspring set?" . j "Not this time," was, the significant reply, and then the men faced each other. According to the best authorities upon a disputed subject. Burr fired at the word. At the report Hamilton started forward with a. -convulsive movement, reeled, Involuntarily discharging bis pistol Into the foliage above him, and fell headlong. Burr, with an expression of pain upon his face, sprang toward him, but Van Ness, bis second, seized him by the arm and

hurried him down the bank and Into their boat. Hamilton, being lifted up.' revived for h moment and gasped. "This is a mortal; wound, doctor." "Relapsing again Into unconsciousness, be was gala revived ty the fresh air of the river. "Pendleton knows," he said, trying to turn toward hts friends. tbat . t did not intend to nre at hi in." ' At 2 the afternoon following be bad breathed bis last. - - -

CARRIER -BOYS' CAMP AT THE CHAUTAUQUA

One of the features of this year's chautauqua was the camp of the Palladium carrier boys, and many complimentary expressions were heard over the Pallidum's action in giving its twenty-two carrier boys a ten days' vacation where pleasure and instruction were combined. Mr. A. L. Kemper, Mr. Ernest Lehman and Mr. Carl Allison, of the busi

ness and circulation departments of the Palladium had general charge of the camp and supervision of the boys while there and were assisted by Mr. Robert Lyons. -

Mr. John Gunckle, of Toledo, the fa

mous "newsboys friend," made a special address to the boys in their tent and the latter had many visitors.

This morning the boys gave an exhibition of Boccer football, under the direction of Roy Horton, athletic train

er of the Y. M. C. A., with much con

sequent enthusiasm, this particular brand of ball being the old-fashioned

or genuine football, where the ball can only be kicked, and the complexities

of the modern game in which the hands are used and all sorts of tactical

intricacies prevail, are done away with. In other words In soccer the game is to go after the ball, rather than to go after the boy with the ball as . in modern football. The game resulted In a tie the score standing two to two, the lineup as follows: Capt. Keelor Capt. Bavis. Left Full Back Parker Bell Right Full Back R. Swisher Ireton. Left Half Back Hubbard . . . . Clapp Right Half Back Donlin Hodapp Left Outside Forward Beck Bavis Left Inside Forward O'Neal Weed Right Inside Forward Keelor Williams Right Outside Forward H. Swisher Rose Goal Tender Alexander Parrish

HE HAD 110 ARMS BUT A BIG THIRST And Local Friends Helped Him, to Overcome Both Yesterday.

With both sleeves dangling loosely from his shoulders, showing 6tumps of arms about six inches long, Charles Smith, an inmate of the county infirmary at Dayton, O., out on a leave of absence, faced Mayor Zimmerman in police court this morning on the charge of drunkenness. He said that friends put the liquor to his mouth. The mayor heard the man's tale, who said he was on his way to Kansas City to get artiicial arms, and then the mayor said that any one who put liquor to the mouth of a cripple cugh to have a life sentence. Smith raised the stumps of his arms, wiped tears from his eyes and swore never to drink again. Smith had money . enough to get back to Dayton. A collection was taken at the police station, and ,he was sent back to Dayton, with more than two dollars more than when arrested. He was told never to stop here again under penalty of being sent to jail.
