OAKLAND, Oct. 4. — Trusting to the
e peed of his automobile to bring vic
tory in a race of nearly 200 miles
against death that a loving daughter
might reach the bedside of her dying
father ere the sands of life, ran .out,
J. V 3 Madison, the proprietor of\the
Fruitvale Lumber Company, braved the
perils of unknown mountain roads In
a night ride from Oakland to Jackson,
Amador County, and won the race.
Twice it seemed that the trip must
end in disaster, as accidents caused de
lay, but the difficulties were overcome
ar.d the goal was reached six hours
ahead of the. best time that could have
been made by. train. .
Madison himself narrowly, escaped"
death on the return from Jackson to
and only the presence of
- mini -o>c tkla. --wire. ' wfa« ,- aTscotnpalrt'wt*
him, prevented a fatal termination of
the run. Exhausted by the terrible
etrain of guiding the automobile over
strange roads through the dark. Madi
son fell asleep at the wheel and fell
forward over the steering wheeL The
twist of the wheel caused the machine
to swerve toward the side of the road,
where a high bank threatened destruc
tion. Mrs. Madison caught the wheel
just in time to prevent a fatal acci
dent.
Madison began his trip from Fruit
vale on Friday afternoon. On the
morning of that day Mrs. Marie Zap
pettiai. the wife of P. H. Zappettini of
the firm of Zappettini & Perasso, the
general agents of the Anchor Line
Steamship Company In San Francisco,
•who lives at 1800 Merrill avenue in
Fruitvale, received a. telegram an
nouncing that her father. John Maz
«ero, a well-known resident of Volcano,
Amador County,* was at the point of
death and desired to see his daughter
before the end came. A time-table
showed that the last train by which
Mx«. Zappettini could reach the bed
side of her father for twenty-four
hours had already gone, and she rea
lized that unless she could find some
other means of transportation her
tather might pass away before she
could reach him.
DECIDES TO GO BY AUTO.
Then It was that she thought of
making the Journey by means of an
automobile. She telephoned to a num
ber of garages In this city, and also in
San Francisco, but one and ail the
owners of the machines refused to
make the trip because of the hard
mountain roads. As* a last resort Mrs
Zappettini appealed to Madison, who
lives at 8416 Washington street, near
the Zappettini residence. After learn
ing the circumstances the latter said
et once that he would attempt to make
the mn to s Jackson, where Mrs. Zap
pettini was to be met' by a conveyance
to take her to Volcano.
On telling his wife of his decision
ehe refused to allow him to make the
trip alone, but Insisted on going with
i^. **?£ Zappettini took her infant
child with her, and her, brother, Frank
Mazzero, also accompanied her, makinir
a party of five.
The start from Fruitvale was made
at I p. m., and all went well until dark
ness fell while the auto wa» speeding
over the road through the •. Livermore
, Th * re T<ra » » Pile of gravel in the
road which, unseen until too late to
bring the machine to a stop; caused the
first accident, which for a time seemed
destined to end the trip right there. As
the machine ran into the gravel several
Hlying bits of rock penetrated into the
K>ar of the auto, and tho case was
JES?^* 1 /?^? 1 " jammc <* fe chain.'
Madison tried in vain to repair the
damage with the tools at hand, and at
last In despair he tore a rail from a
roads de fence and forced the gear case
back 1» Place. This overcame the trou
ble and the party resumed its Inter
rupted journey.
Reaching Stockton without further
mishap Madiron discovered that the
gasoline had run out and a search of
th« town failed to discover a store opS
at which the supply could be replen
ished, so the party was forced to wait
until morning before resuming the trip
Leaving as soon as they had filled the
gasoline tank, they reached Jackson
without further trouble, more than six ;
hours ah*a4 of the train, by which Mrs
Zappettini would have arrived had sh
waited for that means of transporta
tion. The wa«ron by which she was to
continue h*r trip wavon hand, and n 1
f<-w.f <-w. hours ; later Madison was rewarded '
for his kindness by a message that sh*. I
had reached tht bedside of her father •
Just in time. " j

'. WASHINGTOK,. Oct. \u25a0 4.-Presid,ent
Roosevelt to-day struck sturdily: back. at
the railroad men who have been. saying
that he was about to weaken in his fight
on the question of railroad rates and
would consent to a modification of the
Esch-Townsend bill so ; as not to confer
power . on the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to fix rates. He told . Represen
tative, Townsend of Michigan, one of the
authors of the famous bill which was to
bogganed through. the House last winter
and was defeated in , the Senate, that he
I had not . changed his opinion on any of
the principles . mvolved and that if the
railroad managers thought that he had
they would have a rude awakening on
December 4, when his annual message
goes' to Congress.

after he had had a short talk with the
President and . had • made -an engagement
to -meel\ him "afternoon. " /. \

cattle country of Central Nebraska, ac
cording to a brief telegram received
here to-day, is In the hands of the

against the cattlemen charged with
Illegal fencing of Government domain.
The situation Is the more critical for
the reason that most of the county

which yesterday wrecked Hamilton's

The Sheriff is reported to have de
