' v ;'!' But through, tbt, medium of the racing committee of the A. AJ A. one of the bast propositions from a business stand point that has over been evolved In the history of automobile racing, M placed within reach. The contest board has organized a circuit which will start each year with the Vsnderbllt oup race In New York City, from Mew Tork the machines will go - to Philadelphia, then to Savannah. Atlanta, Texas, Los An geles and Ban Francisco, by the time all these races have been held It will be close to the first Of June, and it is at this time that the Portland race will have to be held. From Portland the cars and their drivers will go to Den ver and Indianapolis, where the midsum mer races will be held.. This will com plete the year's racing. wnu en expenses. - - Through this plan it will .be possible IOr evpry manmaciuror vu euier uia mi in air the big races and will enable them to" do so at. the least possible expense. Special trains will be made up carrying the ars. theif dnversand the? attend ant 'paraphernalia and run from one tnnnln nl.cn la mbother. The ears will make the rounds without having to double back and forth across the coun try, as If is necessary now. Besides the financial element, the snorting side is very attractive. The plan will pit the best cars and the best drivers against one another all . the time. This will result in a definite champion being picked each year. No driver will have an opportunity to reap nnmtu, nf mt n BAM i ninif ft. bunch of second rate drivers, and by the time the year is over it will be easy to determine the real driver of the year. Local dealers feel that they cannot afford to bear all the expense of a race alone. They want factory help. The only way they can get it is to secure the sanction of the A. A.

Ha raises a number of points oh appeal, the chief of which are that tha vrdict "trullt as charged la the Information" is In sufficient, because the same did not set forth the degree of the crime, and misconduct .of the Jury, because they were permitted to read two magazines. Under the; Information, It Is admitted the Jury could have found the defend ant guilty of a leaser crime than mur der, but Mr. Lee contends and quotes much authority to sustain him, that "murder in the first degree" : was charged In the Information and that the meaning of the. verdict Is clear. Argu ments on the misconduct point Is of in terest in that It brings out the modern trend of courts in favor of refusing to set criminals loose because of some mere and unimportant technicality. In : this case. It was. net .contended that ' there as anything In the maga zines that In any way prejudiced the members of the jury against the defend ant, or that the presence' of the publi cations in the Jury room affected the verdict In any way. The sole contention of the defense Is that courts In the past ruled against newspapers or other written or printed matter being permitted the iurr. It was In the case of the state against McCormlck. reported In" 26 Wsahlngton, page vr mat tne Washington supreme court neid it was misconduct.
