Savunnah. Ga., November 27..?When
a white atreak flashed by the Judges'
itand to-day at the finish of tho sev
cuth Vanderbilt cup race, the American
automobile world hailed Halph K. Mul?
ford. driver ot a l>ozlcr car, as a new
champion.
Not only had Mulford lowered all
previous Vanderbilt records. He alBo
surpassed the Sun Monica performance
of Harvey Herrtck, In covering 202
miles at an average of 74.63 miles an
hour. At that he was pushed lo make
the time by Halph be I'alma, the bril?
liant driver of hla French Mercedes.
Ue I'alma llnlshed Just a little more
than two minutes behind the winner,
und eight minutes In advance of the
other Mercedes, driven by Frank Spen?
cer Wlshart.
Only six of the cars to start were
In at the finish, and much to the sur?
prise of every one, stich stars as Boh
Burman, tho "Speed Klug," und David
Bruce-Brown, winner of laat year's
grand prize race, were among those
forced to drop out through the defec?
tion of their racing machines.
The race was run and won without
the exaction of the uMial toll of human
life, Among tho numerous accidents
which befell contestants, to the detri?
ment of their chancea to possess the
coveted trophy, only one Imperiled life
and limb. A rear wheel of Bruce
Brown's F)at car flew off at the head
of the long Ferguson Avenue stretch
after a turn had been taken ai slow
speed. Bruce-Brown and his mechan?
ician escaped unhurt, lo live and race
another day.
Victim of Hard Luck. I
Bob Burman was the victim of down?
right hard luck, sustaining one of the
most unique accidents to his machine,
a Marmon. In tnu history of automo?
bile racing. He had Just completed the
seventh lap In record time, ten min?
utes und a half behind Mulford. the
leader, when a loose stone flew up and
struck the gasolene tank connection
with sufficient force to destroy any
further usefulness. Burman examined
tho damaged tube for a moment and <
abandoned the race, realizing that he
would be hopelessly distanced before
he could make repairs. Joe Cyrus
Patchke. driver of the other Marmon
entry, also was running a grand race
when an air pump gave way during
the ninth lap and forced him out of the
contest. Joe Matson took his Flat
back to camp when a leaky radiator
threatened the destruction of his en?
gines by fire.
Ideal conditions prevailed during the
running of the race. The air was Just
cool enough to make overcoats com?
fortable. The oiled roadway glistened
hard and smooth in the autumn sun- I
light, and with the way kept clear by j
a cordon of State troops drawn around
the course, the drivers found It easy
to let their cars out to the limit. A i
high hanked turned. Just above, tho
grandstand, made it possible for the
racers to run In front of tho specta?
tors at full speed, and pass the grand?
stand at a sevonty-mlle-an-hour clip.
Dozens of tires were burned up by
the heat generated by the friction of
such great speed.
Mulford said to-night that he owed
his victory to his good fortune In hav?
ing to make only one tire change as
much as to the speed of his car. D.
Palma was less fortunate, being com?
pelled to stop four times for new tlrea,
and at the finish he was running prac?
tically on the rim of one of the rear
wheels,
De Palma took the lead at the be?
ginning and held It for four laps. Then
Mulford passed him and was never
headed. Tho former's tire troubles be?
gan Immediately after he had made
two record rounds on the second and
third laps, which he made In 13.11 and
13.16, respectively. He was lending
Mulford by forty-threa seconds at the
end of the fourth lap. On the next
round Mulford was ono minute and
forty seconds ahuad of him. Then ho
gradually pulled away, while De Palma
was worrying with his tiros, until he
was about six minutes ahead In the
eighth. De Palma spurted desperately
to ?regaln the lost ground, some of his
sensational t?rns near tho grandstand
exciting the wonder of the crowd.
De Palma lu Vain Pursuit.
At the beginning of the seventeenth
and last lap Mulford was but a scant
two minutes ahead, and the spectators
arose and cheered htm as ho dashed
by for the finish. Like an angry wolf
on his trail, De Palma's beautiful bltio
a;ray Mercedes swerved around the
cftrse at a seventy-flve-mtle clip and
flew down the straightaway In a vain
pursuit.
"No. 8 (Mulford), In the stretch,"
er'ed the announcer through his mega?
phone, and the crowd rose as one and
smtralncd eager eyes toward the spot
half a mile away, whero tho victor
would 'first come into sight. ? A roar
of Nlagaraillko proportions rent the

ENDS LIFE AT CLUB TABLE |
-
Daughter of Dublin Conog Poison Sui?
cide tu New York.
New York, November 27.?Alice Trls- |
tram, thirty-eight years old, said to be j
the daughter of a promlnc-t clergy- j
man in Dublin, Ireland, committed sul-M
fide in tho golf clubhouse at Van j
Cortlandt l'ark by drinking poison
while sitting alone at a ttifrlc.
The woman cnnie to the country
last September, and ut the Young Wo. I
men's Christian Ass .Intlon. where the
stopped, told acquaintances that hoi
father was Canon Tristram, of Trinity
Church. Dublin, and that sho was
married to a wealthy miner:-', water
manufacturer named Shanks. She de
clued to resume her maiden napie, she
said, after arrival here, although she
had a fourteen-year-old son in school |
In Ireland. The Dublin city directory
contains the rames of Itev. John Wil?
liam Tristram, D. D., secretary of the
Board of Education, nnd J. & C. |
Shanks, Limited, mineral water manu?
facturers.
Her principal reason for leaving '
home, according to the woman's story,
was because her father had married a
second time, and that It was Impossible
for her lo be companionable to her
stepmother.
Miss Tristram had a sweet and
well cultivated voice, and had sung
hero on several occasions at muslcales
and dinners. Sho had been unsuccess?
ful, however, in an effort to obtain
pupils, and 11 Is believed by some of
I those who knew her that she was
pressed for funds before she took her
! life, although she had Fpoken of an
j engagement she had secured to go on
I the stage.
STYLES INVITE ROBBERY

Baltimore. . ovember 27.?"The tight

Police Farnan. The Baltimore chief
has been making a study of the effect
of styles of dress upon the pick?
pocket's art. !
"Women will carry handbags con- ,
talning money and valuable papers,"
he said. "Time was who., won/en had .
pockets In their dresses where they !
could put a wallet or purse, but now?
adays their gowns arc built so tight
that they couldn't sllji a folded SI bill

"There was another time when wo?
men could stick valuables, money or
small wallets and purses Into the
bosoms of their gowns, hut they can't
do that now, for inor-t of their gowna

would have to button the purse in nnd
go along lo unbutton it Out. Women

Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs Wins Support of House
of Commons by His Lucid
Explanation of Firm
Stand for Great
Britain.
London. November 27.?Sir Edward
Grey, secretary of state for foreign
affairs, in a quiet und unassuming
manner?the manner which belongs to
the British Parliament?but with In?
tense impress!vcncBs, laid bare in the
llouso of Commons this afternoon the
part ho played In the negotiations on
Morocco, which brought Europa very
close lo war during the summer. At
tile outset he referred to the discloa
ure by the Gorman foreign minister,
uerr von Kiueiien- vV atemur, ot tile
conversations which had laKcu place
between tho German umuassatlor and
himself. This disclosure, lie said, was
nol complete, and ho t\us under the
necessity of putting more funy bet?re
the Mouse of Commons tho part tuKuu
by the British turiigu oince.
llon.tr la Crowded.
The House was crowded with mem?
bers anu tne gallery wini atstinguisn
cd outsiders, including most of tue
diplomatic corps. .Notiung was with?
held, sir Edward stated trankiy mat
the greatest anxiety had existed, but
lortunuioiy was able lo add thai the
negotiations bad cleaned the slate be?
tween Germany and Great Brituiii.
Anxiety naa not constant, but Inter?
mittent, anu wus caused by tne lacl
that me negotiations mignt ut any lime
reach a deadlock. It looked on one
or two occasions as it u Ocudiucu
could nol be avoided. If that hiid
come some power signatory lo me
Algeclraa act migul have suggcsiud a
conference, ihe course of wnicn uer
many, wntch had been sounded on
this subject, said might not bu accept?
able.
J "That." declared tho foreign sccrc
1 tary. "Is what caused the anxiety, tor
we have a situation wherein the parti?
tion of Moructm. .mlgut ocgin without
argument between Germany, France
j and apuln."
I Great Britain, he continued, ulso ro
I celved Information which g^ve rise to
apprehension that the settlement con?
templated by uermany migfw bo tne
partition of Morocco, arrived at by
negotiations lo winch it wus not in?
tended Greai Britain should uo a party.
Germany dtsavou ed this imeniiun,

Wins Support.
I The secretary s lucm exposition of tiio
negotiations anu the lirmness ho was
[utile i<> snow ho'displayed during tue
trying weeks won lor mm tne support
i of tne House, with tho exception of u
few KaaicaiB or "peace at any price"
members, who believe that the llrmntsj,
Which prevented war will estrange
Great Britain and Germany. Ilia an?
nouncement that if a British minister
could not say what Lloyd-George 3ulo
in ms much discussed speech. Great
Britain would cease to be a power,
brought forth a great cheer, us did also
Ills pronouncements mat the Cabinet
would at all times protect British in?
terests.
In ono respect Sir Edwaurd's. state?
ment Daily contradicts that of tho Ger?
man Foreign Minister. The latter said
i that Great Britain had kept Germany
j walling for an answer lo the comuiu
I nication with regard to the dispatch
j of the Panther -to Agadir, white the
i British Foreign Secretary insisted that
the delay in replying to .inquiries was
all on Germany's sine.
In the lobules afler the speech con?
fidence was expressed in Sir Edward's
conduct of affairs during the crisis and
satisfaction thai tne government is
working for belter relations with Ger?
many, it Is believed that tho speech
will have a reassuring effect In Ger?
many.
The Prime Minister, during his reply
to criticisms that the government had
aetetl with too much secrecy, protested
I i hat the I louse hud never had greater
j opportunities to discuss Inicrnutionul
relations than at the present tlino. ilo
decuired that In the Interest of the
! peace of tho world the government's
policy would bo continued.
Later Sir Edward spoke on Persian
and other matters. He defended the
Anglo-Russian agreement, which pre?
vented the two nations from trying
to gain advuutuge of each other in
l'ersia. When the Nationalists got rid
of the Shah they hoped ulso lo gel
rid of Husslan influence, but this was
perfectly hopeless. Had they shown a
i friendly attitude towards Itussla tilings
would have gone well.
Criticises Secrecy.
James Ramsay MacDoriald, Socialist
und Labor member, while welcoming
the Foreign Secretary's friendly refer?
ences to Germany, criticized the secrecy
j with which diplomatic negotiations are
; carried out. John Dillon, Nationalist,
also condemned tho Secretary of For?
eign Olllce. Other Radicals criticized
I the government's failure to Intervene
I In tho war between Italy and Turkey,
i and tho whole foreign policy genor
i ally.
The Prime Minister, In replying.
Bald that so far as the government was
1 concerned, iho negotiations, lirst and
lust, had two objects?to safeguard
i British Interests und to maintain treaty
obligations with other powers.
"The world Is now in possession of
the wholo of our treaty obligations,"
I said Mr. Asqulth. "Thero Is no secret
urrangomont of uny sort or kind which
has not boen fully disclosed to tho peo?
ple. If the conduct of tho government
Is to be Judged by tho measure of our
treaty obligations, tho Houso Is now
In a position to apply that measure."

Home. .November 27.?In the Hall ot
Consistories at the Vatican to-day the
formal ratification of tho Pope's noml.
nation of eighteen new members of
the Sacred College was carried out
with simple ceremonial.
The striking feature of the con?
sistory, wmch was attended by tho
Pope, nnd tho cardinals resident In
ltume ana the visiting curuimus, was
the elevation of three American pre?
lates?Mgr. Parley, archbishop of New
York; Mgr. O'Connelt, urch'uiahop of
Boston, and Mgr. Fulconlo, the apos?
tolic delegate at Washington, who now
retires lrom that ottlce.
The actual bestowal of the red hat
has been reserved lor Thursday, when
tho public conalstory will bo held In
the Hull of Beatification, and a
much more stately ceremony will ma^lc
the occasion.
Pope Feels Its Importance.
The pontiff himself seemed lo feel
tho great importance of tho event to?
day with respect to tho relation C
America to the. church. In private con?
versation ho said that the flourishing
condition of Catholicism In America
would remain in history as ono of the
chief characteristics of hl3 pontiflcato
In accordance with a decree of Plus
X., which removed America from tho
jurisdiction of propaguudu, thus lifting
It out ot the class ot missionary
lunds, the granting of three cardinals
to tho great republic Is evidence that
tho country has now been raised In
the eyes of the Holy See to tho aamo
level aa the European Catholic coun?
tries, which have a traditional attach?
ment to tho church.
I. Tho. prc.latc.-t elevated t.o . tho, car.-,
dln?lato to-day are Mgr. DlomoOo Fal
conlo, apostolic delegate to tho United
States; Archbishop William U. O'Con
nell, of Boston; Archbishop John M.
Farley, of New Yorlc; Mgr. Cosy Macho,
archbishop of Valladolld; Mgr. A.
Vlco. papal nuncio at Madrid; Mgr. J,

to the American college, where moro
thun 600 vIsUors camo to offer con?
gratulations. Among tho number
seventeen cardlna-s, including Car?
dinals Hampolla, Vannutelll, Mar
tlnelli and Logl. The threo cardinals
lunched at tho college, where they
were enthusiastically greeted by the.
.students.
The announcement la mado that tho
Pope has created another cardinal "lu.
pectore." Tho identity of tho prelate,
thus honored Is, of course, secret, but
those best Informed htnk that tho
new cardinal will bo the patriarch of
Lisbon, Mgr. Mondes Belle. Tho an?
nouncement of tho namo has been re?
served, It Is believed, owing to tho
strained relations between Portugal
and the church.
HIn Step Lesj Sure.
As he ontered the hall of the con?
sistories, where to-day's ceremony
look place, tho Pope's step was leas
sure and the careworn faco of His
Holiness bore signs of his recent Ill?
ness that had come to stay Neverthe?
less, ho withstood the fatigue of tha
long and trying ordeal bravely, with a
smile for each and a word for several
In tho long ..rocesslon that passed be?
fore the papal throne.
In accordance with the ecclesiastical
luw, the oons'atory must be held threo
days after the private gutherlng. when
the newly created cardinals, with tho
exception of those from Spain and
Austria, will receive their rod hats.
The Spanish and Austrian prelates, us
is provided in the col cordat with
those countries, must reculvo the
blrettu first from the hands of their
temporal sovereign.
To-day's ceremony, although com?
paratively simple, was carried out with
a sftely dignity and form that has
Characterized the Institution from tho
curliest days. Save for those partici?
pating. It might novo been a sceno
from Che thirteenth or fourteenth cen?
tury.
The consistory was set for 0 o'clock,
and early in the day great crowdl
gathered In tho piazza of St. Peter'*
arid around the basilica to witness, till

nitaries.

passing of severul who had been pres?

ance of tho Pontiff approached the as?
semblage separated in three groups
before the throne.
