SLOW TIME WAS MADE Paul "Spec" Warner, of Ellsworth, state champion motorcycle rider, as usual carried off the honors at the annual motorcycle race meet which was held under the auspices of the local motorcycle club at the fair grounds yesterday afternoon.

The glory of his achievement was modified somewhat by the fact that he and his partner, Clarence Johnson, of Be-loit, were the only riders who had open port machines. These racing machines, from the Indian factory, had the advantage of the stock cars by several seconds to the mile and it was impossible for the other riders to win against Warner and Johnson. WAR. NEK HIGH MAX. Warner was the highest prize winner, getting $90 for his afternoon's riding.

Johnson received $30 in second prizes. Ray Weishaar, a rider from Springfield, on an excelsior, tied Johnson for second place in prize money. He captured two firsts in the stock machine events. Ralph Cooper, one of the Topeka riders, took two seconds for $20 in prizes. The ten-mile open port race which was scheduled to be the thriller of the afternoon's program came up to the expectations for seventeen laps, but then fizzled out when Lisle Scnie-der, a Topeka boy, who rode a Thor, lost the pedal of his machine.

Scnie-der had moved up to third place from fifth place and was just ready to pass Johnson on his fast car when the accident happened. This forced Scnie-der out of the race and the thrill was lost. The other events went to the winners with little contest. Not an accident marred the program. Rome of the riders did some pretty skidding at the turns but no one was spilled.

The track was dusty, particularly at the curves, and the strong wind made it hard riding for the speed merchants. The dust begrimed riders did their best to make fast time and although they did not succeed in breaking any track records they furnished pleasure for about 300 motorcycle enthusiasts who turned out for the event. SLOW TIME WAS MADE. In the race against time Warner made 1:14 for the mile which was four seconds slower than the track record. One of the features of the program was the riding of Weishaar on the curves.

He let his machine go at full speed on all the turns, a thing that the other riders did not do. Johnson rode most of the ten-mile event with one hand, being forced to stop a leak in the gasoline pipe with his other hand.

SHAMROCK IV SHOWS SOME GOOD SPEED Southampton, June 20. Sir Thomas Lip-ton's Shamrock IV showed a fine turn of speed in her first spin today since her rig was changed from that of a sloop to that of a cutter. The new challenger for the America's cup quite out-paced the old Shamrock in a good breeze.

The changes in her canvas and the reduction of the amount of lead in her keel greatly diminished her stiffness and increased her pace. She sailed without a center board, but this can be quick ly replaced If thought WARN UPHOLDS WESTERN IE ST4XDIXG OF THE TEAMS. Clubs Won. Lost. Pet.

Mr. B. B. Reimer, the county clerk, and Mr. S.

V. Wardall, the chief engineer of the Newton, Kansas and Nebraska railroad, brought the proposition of a new north and south road before the citizens. Mr. Wardall stated that this road would certainly be built from Newton to Abilene, and that actual construction upon the same will begin next week, and that the road will be completed up to Goessel, a little town southwest of this place, by the first of August. The road is In no way bound to any course north of Goessel and this city has very good prospects of getting the new road.

A committee consisting of the mayor, Mr. H. Beck, Mr. J. D.

"Yes, it is true; I am going into the motion picture business," the Duke of Manchester at the Ritz hotel, just after dining with Lord Wimborne. "I have interested my financial friends, who readily contributed to the formation of a $500,000 motion picture corporation. We shall sell 40,000 shares of preferred stock at $10 per share and 10,000 shares of common at the same price. "The purpose of this company is to supply churches and educational institutions throughout America first and later throughout the entire world with pictures that have religious moral and educational value. "There are 1,000,000 children going to the 'movies every night.

And for the most part they learn nothing good and much that Is harmful. The churches are steadily losing attendance. It has been proved that children learn more quickly by the eye than by the ear and hold a more lasting impression of what they see. Our plan is to reach the youth of the world with the very best In pictures. "We shall start with the Old Testament and produce accurately every scene therein.

We will teach geography by motion pictures. We shall show everything to the school pupil that the books taught us in our boyhood and keep right up with each new discovery."

TELLS SENATE HIS REASONS Washington, June 20. Reports of opposition among members of the senate banking and currency committee to some of President Wilson's nominations for the federal reserve board today resulted in members of that committee receiving copies of a letter from the president to Chairman Owen particularly commending Thomas D.

Jones of Chicago, one of the nominees. In this letter the president declares he has been associated with Mr. Jones for fifteen years and says Mr. Jones has won a place of esteem that "is enviable, indeed." One of the criticisms levelled at the Chicagoan has been the fact that he is a director of the Harvester "trust" now being sued under the Sherman anti-trust law by the department of Justice. The president explains that Mr.

Jones owns but one share of Harvester stock and that he became a director to thwart the acts which led to that suit. THE MAX WILSOX MOST WANTS. In conclusion the president said: "He Is the one man of the whole number who was in peculiar sense my personal choice." Mr. Jones was the only one of the five men nominated to receive the written commendation of the president. Information concerning the other nominees in the possession of the secretary of the treasury, McAdoo, reached the committee today.

The president's letter and the data furnished by the treasury will be used in reaching conclusions, but it is possible that other information will be obtained by members who are giving particular attention to these nominations. The president's letter, sent to members of the committee today, reads: "My Dear Senator: I am afraid that Mr. Thomas D. Jones is the man about whom the committee will have the least information and I venture to write you this letter to tell you what I know, and fortunately I can say that I do really know it. A FRIEXD OF TIIE PEOPLE.

"I have been associated with Mr. Jones in various ways for more than fifteen years and have seen him tried to fire In causes which were like the very causes we are fighting now. He has always stood for the rights of the people against the rights of privilege and he has won a place of esteem and confidence by his quiet power and unquestionable Integrity in the city of Chicago which I think is enviable indeed. "His connection with Harvester company is this: He owns one share and only one share of stock in the company, which he purchased to qualify as a director. He went into the board of the Harvester company for the purpose of assisting to withdraw it from the control which had led It into the acts and practices which have brought it under the criticism of the law officers of the government, and has been very effective In that capacity.

His connection with It was a public service, not a private interest and he has won additional credit and admiration for his courage in that matter. A LAWYER SELDOM IX COI RTS. "He Is a lawyer by profession, but he has devoted his attention to special aspects of the law and bas been very little in the courts, I believe. My close association with him was in the board of trustees of Princeton University, where he stood by me with wonderful address and courage In trying to bring the university to true standards of democracy, by which it would serve not special classes, but the general body of our youth. He graduated from Trinceton University in 1876.

He is of Welsh extraction, possibly of Welsh birth, though I am not certain on that point, and is a man whom I can absolutely guarantee in every respect to the committee. He Is the one man of the whole number who was in a peculiar sense my personal choice. "Cordially and sincerely yours. "WOOD ROW WILSON." "Hon. Robert Owen, United States Senate." GEN.

selections that meet with universal Berlin. June 20. The court at Beireuth has decided against the claim of Frau Isolde Beidler, wife of the leader of the Munich opera, that she is a daughter of Richard Wagner, the composer. The court says she is the daughter of Herr Van Buelow, pianist, who was the first husband of Frau Coslma Wagner, from whom he obtained a divorce several years after her relations with Wagner had begun. The testimony of the aged Frau Mar-zelk, former housekeeper for Von Buelow, and who died before the trial ended, was the main ground for the judge's conclusions.

The case came up through an action brought by Frau Coslma Wagner and her son Siegfried to prevent Frau Beidler from using "Nee Wagner" after her name and also from Inheriting a share of the great composer's estate. Von Buelow was divorced from Frau Wagner in 1S70, although she lived with Wagner as his wife so long that Isolde (born in 1865), as well as the latter's sister, Eva, and her brother. Siegfried (born in 1869), have generally been recognized as Wagner's children. Isolde's counsel contended that unless it is proved that she is the daughter of Wagner, Siegfried Wagner's parentage is also open to question. One of Richard Wagner's daughters is the wife of the widely known English author, Houston Stewart Chamberlain.

The author of "The Beireuth of Wagner, published by the Seidl society, wrote of the Wagner household in these words: "When I was in Beireuth In 1S76, Villa Wahnfried was filled with the glad laughter of children four girls and a boy, ranging from 4 to 15 or 16 years of age Senta, Ellabeth, Eva. Isolde and the little Siegfried. The latter only was Wagner's own child." HOUSE BILL PROVIDES MORE SAFETY AT SEA Washington, June 20.

By some deliberate overt act to try to force armed American intervention in Mexico, if mediation fails, was declared here today to be Huerta's latest plan.

Arrivals from the City of Mexico and observers here of the policy of the Mexican dictator agreed today that everything indicates that Huerta is waiting only until mediation Is declared futile, to have his troops near Vera Cruz commit some breach of armistice. Huerta believes this will force an American advance on the City of Mexico and thus save his tottering power from conquest by the Constitutionalists. Behavior of the Mexican troops in contact with the Americans at Railroad Gap adds weight to this opinion. For some time the relations between the forces have bea friendly, but In the last day or tw All amities have ceased and insults and gibes frequently come from the Mexican outposts.

The bust, which is of Carrara marble, will be sent to Washington in a few days and wiU be placed in the Supreme Court room near the late Augustus St. Gaudens' splendid bust of Chief Justice Roger B. Taney.

Simplicity is one of the characteristics of the bust, and the purity of the modelling impresses the beholder. The Jurist is represented in a thoughtful mood, with head slightly bowed and eyes half closed. The long straight hair, falling to the coat collar, and the drooping mustache aided the sculptor in conveying a feeling of Americanism, which is pronounced. The soft shirt and plain bow tie aid the effect. Mr.

Tyrus Raymond Cobb, center fielder of the Detroit American league baseball club, was arrested tonight in the butcher shop of V. L.

Carpenter, on Hamilton boulevard, while engaging in a fist fight with Harold Harding, a years old, one of Carpenter's employes. Harding told the police that Cobb assaulted him after the ball player had pointed a revolver at the proprietor. Carpenter confirmed the charge and said Cobb attacked Harding when he interfered. Cobb was taken to a police station and held pending an investigation. Several friends offered to furnish bail for his release, but even if Cobb is allowed his liberty he will not be able to play baseball for several days.

He broke his right thumb during the scuffle with Harding. The explanation given by the ball player after his arrest was that the butcher insulted Airs. Cobb. Carpenter denied the charge but admitted that Cobb rushed into the shop, made the allegation and then started trouble. Cobb said that his wife told the butcher a fish purchased earlier in the day was not satisfactory, and during words that followed.

Carpenter had insulted her. Cobb said he went to the butcher shop to demand an apology from the proprietor. COBB RELEASED LATER. Cobb was allowed his liberty late tonight. No formal charge was made against him, but friends of the ball player said they understood that court proceedings might be instituted.

Developments in the ranks of the Constitutionalists, chiefly the break between General Villa and General Car-ranza over military operations against the Huerta government in Mexico, were reported here to have opened the way for a break in the mediation deadlock. President Wilson is declared to have explained thoroughly to Mr.

Naon why the United States insisted upon the selection of a man for provisional president of Mexico who would be acceptable to the revolutionary element in the southern republic. The chief reason for this insistence was reported to be that the revolt against the present form of government In Mexico never could be stemmed unless there was actual reform. CiOOD OF ALL MEXICO. The United States, It was said, took the position that the opportunity was presented for giving the whole people of Mexico a chance for advancement and that, irrespective of personal ambitions, leaders of all factions could be brought to reason on this basis. If the government of Mexico should not be reorganized now.

It was argued that bloodshed and the horrors of war would continue until such reorganization was accomplished. General Huerta was declared to be cognizant of this situation and willing to yield to the common enemy should personal ambitions be waived. The first Constitutionalist chief, General Carranza, also was reported to be willing to accept a provisional government that would supervise a constitutional election and even General Huerta, the military power in the revolution, was said to be willing to substitute reason for bullets to restore Mexico to Its own people.
