MILLIONAIRE IS DYING
Many Lives Are in Jeopardy
for Several Hours.
AMERICAN FINISHES FIRST
Another Representative of French
Club Is Second In the Great 300
Mlle Run for the Cup Offered
by Vanderbllt.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9. George Arents.
Jr., a New York millionaire, lies dying
at a hospital in Loner Island, and his
chauffeur, Carl Me us el, is dead as a re
sult of the automobile race for the cup
offered by vA K. Vanderbllt, Jr.
Arents' car was wrecked by the tires
slipping; The chauffeur was taken to a
hospital horribly mangled, where he
died half an hour later. Arents was
also taken to the hospital, where it
was found he was suffering from a
cerebral hemorrhage and at an early
hour today he was not expected to live.
His family has been summoned to his
bedside.
Four-wheeled vehicles of all sorts
cf Incongruous shapes, rushing along
the road at a speed Of CO to
SO miles an hour; the air resounding
with the "honk honk" of horns, the clang
lng of bells and the shouts of guards;
signal flags waving and fluttering, and
an occasional cheer from thousands of
throats, stirred the atmosphere at Mine
ola, Hempstead, Garden City and other
Long Island suburbs of Greater New York
today during the 300-mlle race.
One man was killed, many lives
were placed in Jeopardy during seven or
eight hours of the day, and many thous
ands of dollars wero expended.
The story of the race itself is one of
Intense excitement and nerve tension. Af
ter running for seven hours, sometimes at
a speed of 60 'to SO rniles an hour, faster
than many express trains, George Heath,
an American, driving a HO -horsepower
vehicle of foreign make and representing
the Automobile Club, of France, finished
first In the run of 300 miles, with Albert
Clement, representing the same club and
driving an 80-horsepower machine, also of
foreign make, one minute and 28 seconds
behind him.
The committee, after considering them
for hours, decided the race in favor of
Heath. The official time was given out
as follows:
Elapsed Corrected
Name time. time.
Heath 6:56:45 5:25:43
Clement 6:58:13 5:53:13
No time was taken for the other con
testants. "When the two men flashed by the
judges, the crowds in the stands rose In
a body and cheered, relieving the tension
of nerves that held the crowd for so
many hours. But then the award was
not yet certain, for Clement lodged a
protest with the racing board of the Auto
mobile Racing .Association of America,
under whose control the race was held,
and the decision given but a few minutes
before, was withdrawn until the board
had made an investigation into the claims
set forth by Clement. These were of a
technical nature.
Clement, in his protest, declared that
he had been held up in Hempstead over a
minute and a half, and if this had been
allowed him he would have won the race.
He said his gasoline tank broke in Hemp
stead and that time was taken on him
while he was repairing it, contrary to the
conditions of the race. He also asserted
his time in control had been charged
against him.
Victims Among Participants.
Like all previous races of the kind,
there was a chapter of accidents and a
fatality. The victims were among the
participants In the contest. Fortunately,
none of the spectators along the course
was hurt.
The man killed was Carl Meusel. a chaf
feur, who was driving the car of George
Arents, a young millionaire of New York.
The accident was caused by the tires
slipping, and it occurred about 8 o'clock,
two hours after the start. The car was
traveling at a tremendous rate and was
approaching "a curve when it suddenly
swerved and turned over. Muesel was
caught beneath the machine, while Arents
was thrown to one side. Both men were
taken to a hospital where Meusel died
half an hour later. Arents escaped with
a few cuts and bruises. Arents' car was
demolished.
The race was started at 6 o'clock. The
course was over a 80-mlle triangle with
turns that were sharp and dangerous. At
two places the railroad crossed the "high
way at a grade, and these places were
guarded by signalmen. Twice at these
crossings Gabriel, a French motorist, nar
rowly missed being struck by a train, in
one instance running but two feet ahead
of a locomotive. The racers were as fol
lows: No. Entered by Driver.

After the first car was off, promptly at
6 A. M., the others followed at two-minute
intervals. The Vanderbllt car was out
of order when It came to start, and It was
more than two hours late when it was
ready. A flying start in violation of the
rules was made, but the car kept on. It
was officially barred, however.
First Accident of the Day.
The first accident of the day occurred
when Car No. 19. driven by Wallace,
stopped for repairs at Hempstead. The
machinist, Antonio Bonderi, was under
the vehicle, when it started without warn
ing and the rear wheels passed over his
body. His Injuries are not serious, how
ever. The machine owned by B. R. Thomas
and driven by Hawley, while making one
of the turns, swerved from the road, ran
upon the grass along the road and nar
rowly missed crashing into a tree. Spec
tators were panic-stricken, but the dan
ger soon passed. Later, the Thomas ma
chine broke down and retired from the
race. Frank Crokers daring "driving was
a- feature that brought spectators to their
feet. After the fourth time around the
30-'mIle triangle, however, his machine had"
sustained injuries that put it out of the
running.
There was a continuous bursting of tires
at one point in the course that aroused
suspicion, and Investigation showed that a
quantity of sharp nails and broken glass
had been thrown on the roadway. To this
cause was due the retirement of a number
of the machines early In the race.
Of the IS starters but eight remained in
the race at the fifth round of the triangle,
or when the race was half over. Heath
covered the last lap of 30 miles at the rate
of 72 miles an hour. His average speed
during the ten laps was 52 miles an hour.
The four remaining In the race, who
were from two to three laps behind at
the finish, were called off without being
allowed to finish. It being found Impossi
ble to keep the crowd any longer under
control after the exciting race between
Heath and Clement. Heath passed Queens
In the second round in second place,
having jumped from seventh to fourth
place in the first round, and to second
place In the second round. At the third
round Heath finished seven minutes and
58 seconds ahead of Gabriel. At 8:30, Teste
was first. Heath second, Clement third
and Gabriel fourth. Heath, however, fin
ished the fourth round in the lead as to
actual time. Hawley quit at the end of
the round.
Trouble With Tire Delays Heath.
Heath continued to lead until the eighth
lap, when he was delayed by trouble with
his tire, and Clement passed him. At the
lEO-mlle nolnt at the end' of the fifth
round, the standing was: Eeath first.
Gabriel second, v Clement third, Lyttlo
fourth. Teste "fifth.
Heath's averago speed in the first half
was 63 miles an hour. Heath, after the
delay, finished his eighth, lap and entered
on the ninth at terrific speed. Clement,
who started later than Heath, was now
three minutes in the lead, official time.
The excitement In the grandstand began
to increase. Clement had only a lead of
one minute, 48 seconds, entering upon
the last lap, according -to the official an
nouncement. Heath had gained a minute
on him, but it did not seem that he
would wipe out the two minutes re
maining. On the two men came to the finish line,
the crowds cheering and yelling, throw
ing hats into the air and waving' hand
kerchiefs, coats and canes on came the
ponderous machines, puffing, chugging and
snorting like juggernauts there was
silence in the crowd, the machines whirred
and then one flashed across the line; it
was Health, followed one minute and 23
seconds later by Clement, and America's
first big race for automobiles had been
run. The official "elapsed time for the en
tire course of 300 miles is: Heath, 526:45;
Clement, 5:28:13.

Kelso Bridegroom Vic

SUFFERS EYERY INDIGNITY
Bucked and Gagged and Left
in Forest Five Days.
DISCOVERED BY HUNTING DOG
M. Kelley Was to Have Been Mar
ried Monday, but Was the Victim
of Unknown Enemies No
Clew to Perpetrators.
KELSO, Wash., Oct 8. (Special.)
Bucked and gagged and lashed to a trte
for four days, M. Kelley suffered at the
haute of whitecaps on the day he expect
ed to be married. He was found yester
day in the woods near here, unconscious
and almost dead.
The outrage he endured has left Kelley
In so precarious a state that he can give
no definite statement of the assault made
upon him. Only by great effort can he
tell disjointed scraps of his story.
Never in the history o'f this section has
there been so fiendish and apparently un
provoked an assault upon'any man. The
cause for so barbaric an autrage is as
deep a mystery as the Identity of the per
petrators, for no clew was left behind.
Kelley was engaged to marry Miss
Lulu Ward, of Catlln, who was attending
school at Ellensburg, and had arranged
that she come here for their marriage
Menday evening. Monday morning he
telephoned to the County Clerk at Kalama
asking him questions in regard to obtain
ing a marriage license.
Best Man Waits In Vain.
Kelley had stayed Sunday night with a
friend, Joe Baxter, who lives out of town,
and was to have met Baxter in Kelso at
3:05 to go to 'Kalama. for the marriage
license. Baxter was at the tlepot to meet
Kelley on time, but he did not appear, and
Baxter "waited until the 5 o'clock train.
Kelley did not appear then, tuiJL Baxter
returned home. -. , '--
Nothing more was heard of Kelley until
Friday. Then Sid Jones, who was out in
the woods hunting, led by his dogs, found
Kelley, bound hand and foot, with a gag
In his rooufn. His legs wero tied to
gether above and below the knees, and
his hands were tied with wires so strong
that Jones could not remove them until
he returned to town and secured a wire
cutter. -Kelley says that he was bound by two
people he does not know, one of whom
was dressed as a woman. They met him
and told him they were staying at a
house in the neighborhood, and that they
had a letter for Kelley from his father,
and for him to call at 1 o'clock and get it.
When he went for the letter he was set
upon and bound.
Strapped to Back of Horse.
How many were in the gang more than
the two who bound and blindfolded him,
Kelleysdoes not know. After being rough
ly handled and subjected to the greatest
indignities, Kelley was strapped upon the
back of a horse. The members of the
gang also mounted horses and forced his
steed to a gallop over broken country.
Apparently they traveled almost in a cir
cle. Finally the gang entered the woods.
Kelley, shaken almost to pieces by his
rough journey, was pulled to the ground.
Here the climax of the atrocities
heaped upon him by the whltecap gang
was reached. He was kicked and beaten,
and a gag made of a piece of wire clothes
line wrapped with rags forced into his
mnuth and tied behind his head. He was
tied to a tree with his hands lashed be
hind him. A piece of fine wire was then
produced.
The wire was run through his skin in
a most shameful manner. From his
pocket were abstracted a picture of his
fiancee, together with a lock of her hair.
These takens, sacred to the victim, were
impaled upon the wire.
Victim In Pitiable Condition.
Kelleys story is so vague at Intervals
that it is hard to learn when the gang
left hlrn. It is possible that the atrocities
In the woods were not committed Monday,
but this is not believed probable.
Evidently 'Considering that death would
sooon come to end his unconscious agony,
the gang left Kelley. Under a doctor's
care he has slightly revived, and the phy
sician In charge says that he will prob
ably recover and help to clear up the
mystery of his assailants.
Excitement Tuns high in Kelso tonight,
and If the Whitecaps who outraged Kel
ley are caught while the men of this vi
cinity are in their present mood, sum
mary punishment will be' dealt out
unsparingly.
Kelley has lived near Kelso for more
than a year, and Is a young man of good
reputation. It Is not known that he ever
had any enemies In this section, and this
makes the identification of the members
of the whltecap gang more difficult. No
importance is attached to their taking his
fiancee's picture from Kelley's pocket,
apparently it was merely an additional
torment.
Temporary Injunction WUI Stand.
DENVER, Oct. 8. Judge Marshall, of
the District of Utah, sitting as Chancel
lor in the United. States Circuit Court, to
day resumed hearing in the case of the
Interstate Mercantile Company for a writ
of permanent injunction against members
of the Citizens' Alliance and Mineowners
Association, to prevent their interfering
with the business of the Interstate Mer
cantile Company'at Cripple Creek. After,
the arguments ;were concluded, the Judge
announced he would carry the papers in
the case to Salt Lake City and later send
a notice of his conclusions. It Is under
stood that pending the Judge's decision
the writ of temporary Injunction will
stand.

Newark Merchant Believes He Has
Been Deceived.

to a neighbor's house for aid. She -said

remained up later than usual writing let
ters. Mrs. Fryer was shot as she slept.

HIS WORDS CHILL
Bryan Is ,a Great Sur
prise to Parker.
FEARS HE IS HURTING HIM
Ex-Candidate May Not Be
Sent Through Indiana.
VIEWS WILL BE KNOWN FIRST
Statement of Nebraskan That Homo
State Is Lost, and Reports He Is
Lukewarm In Support of
Ticket Alarm Democrats. .
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. (Special.)
special to the Post from New Yory says
"If the reports of Bryan's Nebraska
speeches be true, Democratic headquar
ters will toe slow in sending him by a
special train through Indiana. A
dispatch says he conceded the electoral
vote of his state to Roosevelt and spoke
lightly of the Democratic ticket. This
gave Parker and Taggart cold shivers.
They will Investigate this report. It'
might have been ignored but for reports
from other localities where Bryan has
been traveling.
The Bryan vote has'been the subject
of great solicitude to Parker for weeks.
The hope of bringing Bryan's followers
back into line was an Important factor
In Parker's decision to take charge of
his campaign in person. Good results In
several states that are battle-grounds
have exceeded his expectations, but if
Bryan, on the stump, refuses the Demo
cratic candidates cordial indorsement.
all concerned in campaign management
would much prefer that he remain at Lin
coln on his own broad acres. The com
mittee will ascertain his Intentions be
fore mapping out any further spell-bind
ing itineraries for him."
MAY HURT NATIONAL TICKET
Both Wisconsin Factions Insist Re
publican 'Committee. Take a' Stand.
NSW YORK. Oct. 8. (Special.) A
special to the Times from Milwaukee says:
"As times goes on, it is more apparent
that the party rupture will have a serious
effect on the National Republican ticket
In Wisconsin, though the Spooner men
persist that no action will be taken by
them to affect the electoral ticket. The
National Republican Committee will not
recognize either party more than another,
but it appears that neither faction will
be satisfied with a noncommittal stand.
The Lafollette men will go after National
ticket with a knife if their commit
tee does not have the preference. In all
LaFollette's campaigning he has not men
tioned the name of President Roosevelt
once. The attitude of the National Com
mittee means that no fight will be made
for the National ticket in Wisconsin ex
cept by the supporters of the Scofleld
ticket. The National Committee can send
no speakers without consulting one or
the other of the State Committees, and
the committee not consulted would take
offense. Hence all the campaign that
will be made for Roosevelt will be by ora
tors like Senators Spooner and Quarles,
who will urge the support of Roosevelt In
the same breath that they declaim against
LaFollette. LaFollette men will make
their campaign on state Issues only."
Herrick Sure Parker Is Gaining.
NEW YORK, Oct 8. (Special.) Judge
Herrick. Democratic nominee for Gover
nor of New York, Is quoted by the Times
as saying:
"If the election were held tomorrow,
Parker would carry the state by a hand
some majority. The trend 13 all toward
Judge Parker, and we hope to keep It
that way until the close of the polls No
vember 8."
DEEMS RHODE ISLAND IN DOUBT
Governor Garvin Discusses the Polit
ical Situation With Parker.
H30PUS. N. Y., Oct. 8. Governor Gar
vin, of Rhode Island, spent, the entire
morning with Judge Parker in a discus
sion of political affairs In his state. He
said factionalism in the Democratic party
had been eliminated; that there are defec
tions in the Republican party, concerning
National Issues, and the foreign policy of
the present Administration. These, he
said, placed Rhode Island in the doubtful
column, and gave the Democrats good
fighting chance of carrying it for Parker
and Davis, as well as for the state ticket.
"Methods adopted by the Republican
campaign committee show that they are
worried over the situation," said the Gov
ernor. "The committee has engaged every
hall large enough to conduct a political
meeting for every night, except Sunday,
from now until election day. If we hold
an outdoor meeting, It must be on Sun
day, and we don't like to do that. We
may have to resort to tent meetings en
tirely. I believe the action of the Repub
licans will react on that party. We have
one Congressman now, and think we will
elect the other. We are making a fight to
carry the Legislature against Senator Al
drich." In connection with his visit, it was
learned that an understanding exists be
tween the Democratic National Commltteo
and the Central Committees of all doubt
ful states whereby state candidates will
divide their time so as to aid In furthering
the interests of the Democratic ticket.
REPUBLICANS NAME DEMOCRAT
Judge Lindsay, ef Juvenile Court
Fame, Is Renominated at Denver.
DENVER, Oct 8. The Republican
County Convention today renominated
Judge Benjamin Lindsay by acclamation
for County' Judge. Judge Llnaeay 13 a
Democrat, and' has attained National
fame by the- establishment of a juvenlte-
court for the rescue -of wayward and
criminal boys.
He -was elected County Judge on both
the Democratic and Republican tickets
last Spring, but doubt of the legality of
the election of a judge at that tune nav
Ing arisen, it was decided to make nomi
nations for the November election. The
Democrats have not yet held their county
convention.
HOLDS PARKER IS A TRIMMER
Watson Declares He Evades Every
Issue Not So With Roosevelt.
ALBANY. N. Y., Oct. 8 Thomas E.
Watson, the People's party candidate
for the Presidency of the United States,
spoke before a large audience here tonight
under the auspices of the local commit
tee. Mr. Watson said In part:
"I am bitterly and eternally opposed to
the principles of Government for which
the Republican party and for which Theo
dore Roosevelt Is the champion. But I
recoEnlze that the Republican party has
the courage of its convictions, and that
its champion Is defiant enough to say
that he stands pat for the system just as
It is and challenges assault.
"Why Is It I have to take up more time
in discussing Judge Parker than in dis
cussing Roosevelt? Because Parker lacks
boldness, the frankness which Roosevelt
possesses, and backs and fills and trims
and dodges and evades and beclouds all
the Issues of the campaign in the effort
not to face these Issues; while Roosevelt
comes out plainly, clearly, flatfooted, and
says to all the world, this is what I stand
for and this Is what you are going to

"Before Judge Parker should take from
me the votes of those people who are
opposed to the principles and policies of
the Republican party as enunciated hy
Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Parker shouldbe able
to state wherein he differs on principles
from Roosevelt. He has had three months
to do It in and he has not yet done it.
"I stand for those, no matter what they
call themselves. Republicans or Populists,
who protest against the present system
of class legislation. I stand for those who
think It Is wrong and ought to be
righted."
