V .H.S.ROWE. r Ann, idmt. 134 Third Street, Portland Did you see it advertised i Tke AsUwaa toll the Advertiser ef it Will Not Be Represented in Cup Race in Germany. New York, May 20. There Is likely to be no American representation In the International cup race In Germany on June 17, the racing committee of the. Automobile Club of America hav ing decided to recommend no represen tative, after the schedule trial of the entrants for the team on the Empire city trotting track had ended In a greater fiasco than the earlier trial of the same machines. Only one of the American cars at tempted to carry out the program ar ranged by the committee, but after covering 19314 miles It was withdrawn both from the trial and from the team, because the owner objected to being the sole American representative abroad. Representatives of a western com pany were present, but upon advice of counsel declined to sign an agree ment absolving the Automobile Club of America from claims for injuries or damages during the trial It had been planned by the commit tee to give the proposed entrants a 200-mlle test on the Empire track and a large crowd of enthusiastic people Journeyed thither. They expressed considerable dissatisfaction over the outcome. Ing so quickly and so violently would, If applied direct, tear the machines to pieces within a week after operations were begun. The thing to do then Is to harness this power and make It useful. They propose, therefore, to make complete circuit of trolley wire and a double circuit which shall contain all the power needed to operate the cars and at the same time keep it from ripping up the motors In Its desire to get to earth. This double trolley circuit will be complete In Itself, starting from the power house In Manltou and returning without going through the earth. The pole of the car will take the power in the ordinary way and trans mit to the motor, but It will return on the other wire to the power bouse and not through the earth, thereby pre venting the burning out of the motor. The poles which will carry these wires will each have at the top a light' nlng rod designed to attract electricity which plays around the peak so fierce ly. The theory Is that the poles will catch the "Juice" and transmit It through the rails of the cog road to the power house In Manltou. where It will be transformed and stored for use. They will take the electricity oft the peak and transmit to Manltou, where It can be used far driving trains up and down. The cog management have already begun upon plans and specifications.

To harness the electricity on Pike's Peak and by means of a metallic circuit conduct It to the base, there to be stored for use. as motive- power for the cog road that Is the scheme of the Manltou and Pike's Peak railway. The proposition, according to the general manager, Mr. Sells, is feas ible, and affords the only practical means of employing electricity on the cog road. : The one obstacle In the way of car rying out such a plan is the static electricity with which the air Is charged above the 12,000 foot point The fact that Pike's Peak overtops all the surrounding mountains makes It the natural grounding spot for electri city that would otherwise be dissi pated over a large area. In the ordinary trolley line power comes along the trolley wire from the power station, thence Into the motors under the cars and returns to the earth, completing the circuit The heavy currents on the peak com- Brigands Take Perdacis Where Pur suit Is Impossible.

An Imperial edict confirming the action of the cabinet abrogating all existing treaties and agreements between the Russian and Corea n governments, covers the original treaty of 1894; a special agree ment regarding the imperial house hold and all mlnllg and timber con cessions of the Yalu and Tumen rivers and on Lagelet Island, off the east coast It declares that, Jumbrinsr rights granted private Individuals, the time limitation of which had lapsed, were extended surreptitiously by the prime minister and finally by the Corean foreign office, a minor offi cial of which signed the extension un der Russian pressure. An additional clause inserted had given territorial privileges in the concessions which be came the means of cloaking govern ment land grabbing schemes and was therefore declared null and void.

The doom of the peroxide blonde has been sealed. Throughout the past the atrical season It has been evident that the brunette has been regaining her place in the choruses of Broadway; and now one of the leading purveyors of musical comedy has made It his settled policy to permit no false blonde to appear In his shows.
