E. Cook declined to set aside the trusteeship in the case of John W. Emley and W. A. Bucher was continued in the capacity of trustee to the aged resident.

The understanding is that the on hand shall be invested and possibly put into a good farm as soon as one can be found, this despite Mr. Emley's desire not to own any lands in Huntington county or near some of his relatives to whom he has taken a dislike. Emley, one of the older and beBt known residents of Huntington county, over a year ago Bold his farm of 122 acres in Clear Creek township, the 'sale priT neihgV With little announcement further than that he was going on a trip south he went to Texas. Coming back he reported that he had purchased ten acres apiece for each of his seven children, paying about $40 an acre for the same.

In recent weeks he has been living with a daughter, Mrs.

Calllson. An investigation has shown that the land said to have been purchased is covered with brush and lacking considerable of being worth the price paid. Whether any payment was made on the land out of $300 In his possession when he went south is not known, but Texas land agents have since been urging Emley to go ahead with his purchase. In case, he gave any notes, the trusteeship makes their collection Impossible. COMMITTED SUICIDE TO ESCAPE ARREST.

The despatch says in part: "These men are not necessarily 'insurgents' and they do not appear to be following the Insurgent flag which was raised conspicuously In the last session of congress.

LACK OF INTEREST. Grandstand, Long Island Motor Parkway, Oct. 30.

Whether because of a revulsion of feeling engendered by the numerous fatalities resulting: from recent race meets or because of the constantly increasing impression that automobile races are no longer Sporting events, but mere advertising schemes of automobile manufacturers, there was a decrease eC. popular interest in today's of the Vanderbilt cup race so manifest as to cause comment on all sides. While the event the derby of the automobile speed fans, still served to draw 100,000 to 150,000 lovers of the game to the picturesque Long Island, course and while the same thousands of gay automobile 'parties' parked their machines at points of vantage around the 12.6 mile course, the popular Interest in this event waa by no means as great as in previous yearav Even In the grandstand, barring the private boxes which held the elite ati the sport and four hundred, there wsw a falling off in the attendance. Ai brilliant sun and a cloudless day favored the spectators, but a cold wind which Bwept across the Jamaica plains caused spectators to dance at a lively rate about huge camp fires and Incidentally stiffened the arms of drivers and made it necessary for both driver and mechanician to dress as for a polar dash rather than as automobile The redaction of the course frossl twenty three' miles to twelve and av sixth miles coupled with the fact that during the early stages of the run nine of the Vanderbilt cup the 22 tapv 278.08 mile evenf there was also being run the Massapequa stakes, 10 (Contiaued on Page Eight) JACKSON SCHOOLS' ARE COMPLETED.
