hecause It looked so easy." said Rho

much easier than anything else I
could do."

settle the question of superiority. In
the first heat Oldfield ran away from
Johnson. He was quicker to get nway
and Johnson 's car never showed, ahead.
At the finish Oldfield led by about a
quarter of a mile. His time for the
nvo miles wns 4:44. The time of tho
second heat, ;"j:14 4-5, or 30 4-5 seconds
slower than the first, tells tho stor' of
the heat.
Both men were slow in starting, and
Oldfield, aftetr gaining a lead several
times, slowed up to allow Johnson a
chance. He always held the rail, how
ever, and in rounding the paddock turn'
took a lead of fifty yards which he held
to the finish.
Between the first and second heats of
the match race Oldfield drove his "Blit
zen Benz," a 200 horse power car, one
mile fnom a flying start, in 44 3-5 sec
onds. This beat the Brighton Beach
circular track record by 51-5 seconds,
but after a Hying run from the chute
lo the starting point today. OldGeld
had only two turns to negotiate, while
the Brighton Beach course has four
turns. Oldfield .issued the following
statement:
"T raced Jack Johnson for neither
money nor glory, but to eliminate from
nry profession, an invader who would
have had to be reckoned with sooner or
later. Tf Jeffries had fought Johnson
five years ago the white man would have'
won and after Jeffries retirod he would
never have had to fight him again.
"if I had ignored Johnson for a
3'ear or so. he would probably have
gained much experience on the track
and bought high-power cars, while I am
not getting any better from day to day.
1 am glad if my victory over Johnson
today will have any effect on the 'white

which the census returns have been
published up to October 20. The states
aro Rhode Tslnnd. Michigan. Missouri.
New Mexico, Delaware, Vermont and
Massachusetts. Tho aggregate popula
tion for those seven states wus 10,S5)S,
272, an increase of 14 per cent as
against an increase of 1S.4- per cent
during the decade of 1890 to 1900.
Forty-three cities of more than 100,
000 population and 159 cities of between
25,000 and 100,000 are given. Comment
ing upon the facts presented, the bulle
tin says;
"With the data for both groups ot
cities approaching completeness it is
notable that tho smaller cities as a
group seemed to have maintained dur
ing tho decade of 1900 to 1910 a rate
of growth considerably above that main
tained by the larger cities, the rate for
tlic aggregate population of the smaller
citiesboing 39.3 per ccut and that for
tho larger 30.1.
"The returns for all of the cities
which in 1900 were in the .100.000 class
have been received except from Los
Angeles and Sun Francisco and Min
neapolis and Memphis. Seattle, Wash.,
which will go into the 100,000 class, had
not reached that figuro ten years ago."

EVEN THE, RAILROAD
ATTORNEYS ARE PUZZLED
NEW YORK, Oct, 25. A conference of
railroad attorneys hold here today was
called, It was stated tonight, to find
out what the Mann-Elklns amendment
to the Interstate commerce commission
law really means when Interpreted In
all lt3 legal phases. There seemed to be
no objection against the newly estab
lished court of commerce, but therd'was
strong opposition to the extension of tho
powers of the Interstate commerce com
mission as provided by tho act.
A previous conference at. Portsmouth
did not reach any decision, though much
of the preliminary work was done there
and the ground for future deliberations
was considerably narrowed. Today's
session completed all the remaining prep
arations and the discussion will now
reach to vital questions, suggested by the
committee appointed for this purpose at
the first meeting.
The questions of constitutional liw
arising under the Mann-Elklns act that
will be discussed at the meetlngc which
now will be held dally until Friday, fol
lows .
' Question 1. Are the following pro
visions of the amended Interstate com
merce act constitutional?
a That portion' of section 15 which
confers power upon tho commission to
suspend a. rate for a possible period of
ten mouths.
b That portion of section 15 which re
serves to the shipper the right to route
freight when taken in connection with
the Carmack amendment to section 20.
c Long and short haul and aggregate
of Intermediate rate clauses as contained
in section 4. r
d The water provision of section 15
with respect to the establishment of
through rates and joint classifications
and joint rales by the commission.
f The provision of section 15 Impos
ing the burden of proof upon the car
rier a3 to the reasonableness or Justice
of increased rates.
Question 2. Is It wise to institute pro
ceedings at an early date to test the con
stitutionality of any or all of these pro
visions, and if so, what is the most de
sirable form of procedure?
