COURSE FORTY MILES LONG. PRESIDENT NOT WORRIED. First Machine to Arrive covers Di7- tance in One Hour, Forty-nine Minutes, and Eighteen Seconds. Holds Ills rersonal Affairs No Concern of the l'ublicMen Who nounce Him Then Ask for Favors. Sir Thomas Lipton had his first experience of fresh water yachting yesterday afternoon, when the naval reserve yacht Dorothea, oa which he was guest, ended its cruise by running aground, blowing out a cylinder head, and breaking the bowsprit off the Ruth.

which was acting as a tender. The two boats maneuvered for fifty minutes in the harbor with the idea of getting close enough together for Sir Thomas and his party to get from the Dorothea to the Ruth and thence ashore. In the course of this maneuvering the Ruth was almost sunk by striking a group of piles which jut out from the north end of the breakwater. Those aboard the Ruth provided themselves with life preservers and looked anxiously at the waves raised by the thirty-knot breeze of the afternoon ONE VEHICLE DELAYED BY FIRE. UPHELD BY HARVARD'S FACULTY.

Charles Sprague, 19 years old, and Mandel Ward. 15 years old, who say their impressions of the strenuous life were gathered from dime novels, longed to be cowboys. They didn't have any cows, but that difficulty was overcome when they promptly stole a whole herd. Now the boys are in After driving the fourteen animals fifty miles to sell them at the Union Stock-Yards they met their undoing yesterday, because a certain brindle steer was so homely that no one could forget Its shaggy face. The boys were arrested after a chase which was participated In by half the policemen In the southern part of the city.

A number of patrol wagons had a part in the pursuit, during which the brindle steer, which had caused all the excitement. took advantage of the opportunity to stampede the herd and occasion the police some more trouble. The herd was stolen from a pasture in Roselawn, last Tuesday night. The animals are owned by Mrs. J.

E. Heckson, who mortgaged them a year ago to James B. Nelson. member of the Chicago commission firm of Eastburn, Beverage Betrayed by Brindle Steer. On Wednesday Mr.

Nelson received a telegram from Roselawn stating Mrs. Heckson's loss and requesting him to be on the lookout. As he was returning to his residence at 6639 Normal avenue shortly after 5 o'clock last evening Mr. Nelson encountered the herd, which was being driven south in Union avenue by two mounted boys. In the center of the herd the brindle steer arrested his attention.

A year ago, when he loaned the money to Mrs. Heckson, he had seen that steer and he never could forget its wonderful face. Where did you come from with these cattle?" demanded Mr. Nelson of one of the boys. The answer strengthened Mr.

Nelson's conviction that the herd was stolen, as the youth replied that they had come from Roselawn. Mr. Nelson hastened to notify the police of the Stock-Yards Station, and In the meantime the boys whipped up their horses and deserted the cattle. Then began a chase which lasted tor. an hour.

Police Take Up the Chase. Captain Lavin sounded a general alarm throughout the district. Messages containing a description of the fugitives were transmitted over the police wires and in response patrol wagons from the Englewood, South Englewood, and Grand Crossing stations took up the chase. In an hour Policemen Morriss and McCaffery of the South Englewood station overhauled the fugitives as they were riding south In Vincennes road. near Eighty-fifth street.

The horses were so tired that they scarcely could struggle along. Ward says he lives with his mother. Mrs. Louisa Miller, In Chicago Heights. and that Sprague, who is his cousin, is from Kansas City.

Oct. 18.SpeciallAlbert G. Smith, teller, and Lewis F. Swift, assistant bookkeeper of the Merchants' National Bank of this city, disappeared last night and are believed to be embezzlers to a large amount. No definite statement of the amount of shortage can be learned tonight.

but there are rumors about town that the institution has lost anywhere from $40,000 ot $300.000.. Suspicion was first aroused this morning' Nrh en Smith and Swift failed to appear at the bank at the opening hour. An investigation was made, and the bank officers soon learned that neither man had spent the night at his home. Then accountants were put to work on the books and discrepancies were found. Shortage Kept Secret All Day.

Business was conducted at the bank as usual during the clay. and it was not until night that rumors of the shortage became known. The directors of the bank held a meeting this evening which lasted until a late hour, and then NVilliam IL Anderson said that a definite statement would be given out tomorrow after the shortage had been thoroughly Investigated. There are rumors here tonight that the two men took $90,000 in silver certificates away with them. City Excited Over the Loss.

The city is excited over the affair, the more so before the directors are unable at this time to make a statement as to the exact condition. of affairs. Judge Charles S. Liffey, one of the Board of Directors, said that at present the amount of the shortage was uncertain. and when asked If the report that $90,000 had been embezzled was true, replied that he thought the amount was much less.

The Merchants' Bank is one of the strongest In Lowell and the leading concerns here deposit heavily with it. Wife Believed to Know Facts. It was reported tonight that Mrs. Smith received a telephone message from her husband at midnight, but has refused to tell the police from where it came. Swift has been married only a short time and his wife is prostrated.

The feeling is that the bank is a much heavier loser than its directors realize and a run on the institution is anticipated tomorrow. Cashier Missing, Bank Closes. Boyertown. Oct. 1.8.

Special.The National Bank of Boyertown, one of the oldest financial institutions in this section, citsed its doors today as the result of the disappearance of its cashier, Milton A. Mory. An announcement was made tonight that the bank will reopen in a few days and no depositor will lose a dollar, but an investigation of the books must precede the resuming of business. The affair has many strange features. and depositors cannot understand much that seems mysterious in the official statements.

It is claimed by the officers that, although securities worth 1165,000 had been taken. Mory left a letter telling where they could be foundat a broker's office in Philadelphia and the paper was recovered, with a loss of less than $2.000. Disappearance Not Explained. The disappearance of Mory under these circumstances cannot be explained. He was one of the big men of the town, bad organized the bank himself thirty-two years ago for years had occupied one of the best houses in the city, and was prominent in church circles.

Mory has not been seen since Monday and his wife and daughter claim to know nothing of his whereabouts. It to reported that he had been speculating of late and he had seemed disturbed mentally for the last few weeks. The theory of Mory's friends is that his mind became unbalanced by worry over market fluctuations and that he committed suicide or wandered awa3'. Run on Institution Expected. When the bank closed its doors today, the directors say there were $3.000 in cash and $423,000 in securities on hand.

The deposits and bank balance amounted to $417.000. The directors feel confident the bank examiner will find everything straight and pronounce the institution solvent, so business can be resumed on Monday. It is expected there will be a run on the bank as soon as the doors are opened, but the officers say they are fully prepared for this Illinois Postmaster Short. Flora, Oct. 18.Special.The government postoffice inspector has reported a shortage of at the Louisville postoffice.

The Postmaster, Rolla C. Pearsons, disappeared more than a week ago. Pearsons' bondsmen are indemnified by the Safety Surety company. Trip Along the Shore. The trip of the Dorothea along the shore as far as Lake View and back was safely accomplished, and at half-past 5 the yacht steamed within the breakwater and dropped anchor.

The small steam yacht, Ruth, longing to Dr. O. L. Wilcoxon of this city. which was to transfer the guests to shore.

did not approach. After fifteen minutes the naval reserve boat weighed anchor and steamed to a position 100 yards east and towards the breakwater. Then the Ruth came alongside and made fast. Dr. Wilcoxon leaned against his smokestack and shouted many orders through his megaphone to make fast for'ard and slaciien aft, and to let that rope alone.

A few of the guests had ecrambled aboard the tender when the forward line was cast off. and the wind carried the little boat around. It drifted away. and when it finally got back the rope cast was missed. Again it drifted, returned.

and failed to get a line aboard the Dorothea. A third failure, and Dr. Wilcozon was getting irritated. Nose Put Into It Too Bard. On the fourth attempt Ruth was heading Into the wind parallel to Dorothea.

In trying to edge in its bow was blown around till it pointed squarely to the Dorothea's side. Then Ruth made a loop of half a mile, and finally got pointed again at the Dorothea, which had become invisible in the darkness. The little boat had lost its headway however, and was drifting backwards to a group of piles at the northwest corner of the breakwater. A good many passengers tucked life preservers under their arms and said they had swum four miles." Ruth grazed the piles, its bow scraping slightly. PAGES.

Terry McGovern to Meet Corbett. Afttr a flight over rough roads and in the face of a biting wind that almost amounted to a gale. Mr. and Mrs. J.

B. Burdett. bent low over the footboard of their automobile dashed into Joliet yesterday morning in advance of the fourteen other starters in the road race from Chicago to the prison city. Of the fifteen contestants for the silver cup only six managed to finish inside the time limit. The roads were heavy and the wind offered an obstacle to the racers.

The start was at Thirty-eighth street and Archer avenue. and the distance to the Imaginary line in Joliet was forty miles. Mr. and Mrs. Burdett covered the course in 1 hour 49 minutes and 19 seconds.

Shaw Makes Time Record. Although the Burdetts won the race the fastest time was made by E. B. Shaw. Mr.

Shaw's time was 1 hour 33 minutes and 32 eeconds. Mr. Shaw operates a machine so powerful that it was put in a special class. A number of accidents attended the racing. The machine owned by Charles Howard Tucker.

who also was accompanied by his wife, caught fire from a hot box on the other side of Lockport. and over a mile of the course left a streak of smoke behind it Then the fire was discovered and exenguished, and Mr made a plucky spurt, being third in the finish. All of the racers complained of the wind. It- not only held their machines back and made speed impossible. but struck them full In the face with a cutting force that promises to cause a boom in the cold cream market.

Cheers for Woman Victor. Mrs. Burdett. who rode beside her husband In the machine that won the race, was the heroine of the day. As the automobile came to a stop after the line had been crossed the crowd gave three rousing cheers, and some one forced his way by the police, a big bunch of American beauties in his hand.

He gave the roses to Mrs. Burdett. who smiled her appreciation, and then the crowd cheered a gain. A stiff wind blew in our faces all the way." said Mrs. Burdett in telling of the wild ride.

and altogether the trip was a disagreeable one. We were compelled to bend low over the dashboard and hardly changed our position all the way. The road could not have been rougher, and the machine frequently would strike a hillock. throwing us heavily against the sides of the vehicle. We lost time Just this side of Lockport.

where we mistook the signal flag and turned east instead of west. Before we found out our mistake we had lost several minutes." Tells of Blazing "Auto." Mrs. Tucker, who rode in the blazing auto." said: Our machine caught lire before we bad reached Lemont, but we did not notice it for some time. Finally, we had to stop and extinguish the blaze. I wasn't a bit frightened.

Yes. I was annoyed." We could have cut the time half an hour at least had it not been for the heavy wind." said Mr. Burdett. The road for the most part was rough, and It was only the last twenty miles that we were able to make good time. We passed several machines on the road that seemed to be in difficulty.

Some of them had stopped for water. Our machine was On lire. We were fortunate in not baying- any accidents." Four women rode in the race. Besides Mrs. Burdett and Mrs.

Howard there were Mrs. F. Davis and Miss F. C. Davis.

Finish of the Long Race. It was 11:26:48 when the Burdett machine dashed down Jefferson street and crossed the Imaginary line in front of the Joliet courthouse. A large crowd bad gathered at the finishing point and it was with great difficulty that the police succeeded in clearing a space large enough for the huge automobile to come to a halt. The second machine to reach Joliet was the vehicle in charge of W. R.

Smith. The official time of arrival was 11:41:20. making the elapsed time 2:26:70. As the Smith machine dashed around the corner the cars and rigs crowded it so closely that only by careful steering was a collision prevented. Three minutes later the Tucker machine.

In the Comznercial Market. A movement was started last night by members of the West End Improvement club of Brighton Park to erect a monument in commemoration of President McKinley in the new park of Brighton recently renamed McKinley Park by the South Park Commissioners. The meeting was a semimonthly gathering in the clubrooms, 4107 Campbell avenue, and was attended by 200 members. After adopting a resolution approving the action of the Park Commissioners. David Lloyd, secretary of the club, proposed the erection of a McKinley monument in the park.

The proposition met with unanimous approval, but because of the small attendance the matter was postponed until the next regular meeting on Nov. 1. Meanwhile, subscription lists will be started in aid of the movement. The first meeting of the Illinois State auxiliary of the National McKinley Memorial association was held in the assembly-room of the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank yesterday afternoon, the followihg officers being elected: ChairmanAlexander H. Revell.

Throughout the Southern States yesterday the press and people discussea the President's action in having Booker T. Washington as a guest at a private dinner in the White House. While among the.rabid antinegro element isnd in thee ranks of the irreeoncliables there was denunciation, at times bitter, still the more advanced Southern sentiment was inclined to regard the incident merely as a suitable courtesy to a worthy man. The chivalrous notion that the President has the right accorded to a private citizen to choose his own dinner guests was at odds in the South with the deep-seated prejudice against anything tending toward social equality between whites and blacks. In many cases the chivalrous feeling prevailed and adverse criticism was withheld.

One significant feature of the sensation thus wrought up in the South was that scarcely anybody would allow his name with uncomplimentary opinion to be quoted in the newspapers. The denunciations were in most casts strictly anonymous. Boston Commends Roosevelt. In Boston the matter was discussed and universal opinion there commended the dinnerhost and guest. Last commencement Booker Washington sat at Harvard's table.

By that we expressed what we think of him," was the way President Eliot of Harvard University expressed it. When Booker Washington was here last winter I entertained him at my table, and should he be here again this winter I shall again hope for the honor," said Professor Charles Eliot Norton. It was a fine object lesson and most encouraging. It was the act of a gentleman. an act of unconscious, natural simplicity, said William Lloyd Garrison.

I think the action of President Roosevelt in entertaining Mr. Booker T. Washington at the Executive Mansion was eminently wise. timely. and proper," was the view of Henry B.

Blackwell. Critics Asking for Favors. In Washington it was noted that some of those Southern Democrats who professed to be scandalized by the proceeding were at the White House during the day seeking favors at the hand of the President. Senator-elect Bailey of Texas was of this class. The President himself paid no heed to the clamor over what is regarded among more intelligent people as a matter personal to himself, but in official circles it is suggested that now during the period of official mourning no dinner at the White House can assume a public character.

The President had Booker Washington as a guest there just as he had entertained him at Oyster bayand as he likewise once extended the hospitality of ails summer house to a young man of high charactera Yale student, but a negro. Sentiment in National Capital. Washington. D. Oct.

IS.Special.1 President Roosevelt's action in inviting Booker T. Washington to be his guest at the White House on Wednesday night con- tinues to inflame the Southern element in this city, as well as the people all through the South, to an extraordinary degree. In fact, the topic has become one of current discussion, both among officials and private citizens. Men like Joe Bailey of Texas, who were privately denouncing the President last night because of his aotion in permitting a negro to come to his private table as a guest. were today at the White House asking for offices.

Senator Bailey was a conspicuous offender. He criticised President Roosevelt in the hearing of a dozen men on Thursday night, and nevertheless was at the White House this morning asking for an army appointment for a personal friend. When asked for an explanation Mr. Bailey said that his criticisms were entirely personal and private, while his visit to the White House was as a Senator in the performance of what he conceived to be his public duty. Roosevelt Deems Affair Personal.

Curiously enough, President Roosevelt takes much the same view of the situation. He will not dignify the episode by permitting any authorized statement to be made regarding it, but it is quite well understood from the conversations he has held with personal friends that he considers the affair a matter entirely personal with himself, with which no one either North or South has anything to do. His invitation to Professor Washington is by no means a new matter. The distinguished and accomplished Southern educator has been a friend of Mr. Roosevelt for years.

He was a guest of the family at Oyster Bay and he might be invited to dine again at the White House, the same as any other friend. President Roosevelt has never had any prejudice against the colored people. He invited Harris. the colored half back of the Yale football team, to stay over night with him at Oyster Bay and the invitation was accepted. On another occasion, while he was Governor of New York, the colored baritone of St.
