Schedule Supposed Impossible la
Maintained by Winning Trio,
Who Have Perfect Score.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla.. Oct. !. (Spe
cial.) Three Maxwell cars, composing
the Tarrytown. N. Y, team, won the
Ulldden tour, which ended In Jackson
villa today, defeating seven other
teams of three cars each In the most
strenuous Qlldden tour which has ever
been conducted. Driving, like mad
over a mere trail, through the Florida
pine forests and under a speed schedule
which was supposed to be Impossible,
the Tarrytown trio made a whirlwind
finish and arrived early enough to re
tain the only perfect score In the con
test. This they have maintained persist
ently since leaving New York on Octo
ber 14. A team of Stevens-Duryea cars,
entered and driven by Individual motor
ists of prominence In the South, fin
ished In second place In the Glldden
trophy division, and a team of Cadillac,
cara was in third position, with 1 and
Z3 points penalty, respectively.
Only seven of 14 teams arrived over
the awful roads which make the so
called National highway, the 11 elimi
nated having penalties ranging from
1000 to 3000 points. In the division

Arthur Ze, of Tarrytown. N. Y, and the
Governor rode In the car almost the
entire distance. Inviting the Governors
of other states to be his guests.
Tne Olldden tour Is the National re
liability contest. The B4 cars which
formed II teams Included the highest
priced automobiles manufactured In
this country, the average being more
than SftSOO. On this account the vic
tory of the Maxwell team la the more
significant, because this team Is com
posed of cars selling for $1280. They
bucked the water breakers of Penn
sylvania pikes, showed great speed
running through the Shenandoah Val
ley, climbed the rugged trails through
the Blue I'.ldge Mountains, wallowed
inrougn tne ooxy red clay of the Caro
lines and Georgia and finally tri

bottomless sands In the pine forests

Issue.
The dog belongs, or did belong, to
Mrs. Joe Ferris, of Seattle, who lost him
from a train, somewhere between Che
halls and Portland. It thon came Into
the possession of Ned Flecher, 1SS North
Twelfth street. Some one placed an ad
vertisement In tho newspapers offering
a reward of 1100. and Flecher refused
to surrender the dog until he got the
money. There was some correspond
ence and the leual machinery of two
states was set In motion. Mrs. Ferris
retained Walter E. Hardy, who. after
consulting tho Prosecuting Attorney

Real country sausages. The kind
that smack of the farm of years

of little milk-fed pigs, home-ground

mouth water to think of them.
Jones Dairy Farm Sausages are
made on a farm, by farm folks in a
farm war. from a recipe that has
come down from an old New Eng
land grandmother. They are sold
all over America to people who have
tasted the delightful spicy flavor of
real country sausages and can never
be satisfied with anything else. We
make fresh shipments every week
through the cold weather.
Telephone today for a delivery of
these sausages. Yon can place a stand
ing order for regular deliveries if you
wish.
If you are fond of green hickory
smoked, long-time-cured hams and
bacon, we make them, too.

obtaining a power of attorney from
Mrs. Ferris, came here. Interviewed the
District Attorney and tho Chief of Po
lice, swore to a search warrant com
plaint and had the dog; brought Into
court.
Because the statute provides only for
the recovery of stolen property on a
search-warrant, the action was dis
missed, and Mrs. Ferries has the option
of paying the $100 reward or beginning
a civil suit.

BIDS DEEMED TOO HIGH
, . e
Cost for Building Fire Stations Is
Above Sum Appropriated.
Because the bids tendered for the
construction of the new fire stations
In the Kenllworth snd Sunnysldn dis
tricts were deemed excessive, they
were all rejected at a meeting of the
fire committee of the City Council yes
terday. The lowest bid for the Sunny
side station proposed for the corner of
East Thirty-fourth and East Taylor
streets was 122.838, which was $6838
above the amount appropriated. The
committee decided to re-advertlse the
work.
In the case of the Kenllworth station
proposed for Francis and Greenwood
avenues, the lowest bid was $14,394, ex
clusive of plumbing and heating, which
was above the amount appropriated.
The architect flgiired the appropriation
too small for the size of the station
desired and the commltee asked that
the plans be changed.
