acter* and "Will probably result in the
of recommendations relative to
governtnent'-super'vislon-of the Indus
trial -situation. \u0084 ~ - . .

Mr. Harrlman has given , an opinion
to the effect that the gauge of the
railroads of the country will have to be
increased to six feet before . they w'll
be la a position to do. the transportli
tion required in a satisfactory way. The
.late convention of railroad: engineers
at Chicago distinctly refused •'to give
its attention to "6uch a .problem. It
was, indeed, mentioned, but it was nnt
discussed.. An officer of the* convention
said it dealt "with practical l problems,

NAZZARO WINS GREAT
AUTO RACE IN FRANCE
Italian Champion Sets Kill
ing Pace and Breaks
;> Kecord
. DIEPPE, France, July.2.— With- a
wonderful display ;of coolness, .nerve
and endurance vNazzaro, the Italian
champion, captured . the ! automobile
grand prix today at an average . speed
\u25a0<)f 113 kilometers .ffOJ \u25ba"meters" an, hour,
breaking the world's record. The pace
wa3 killing from the start, leaving a.
score. of cars hopelessly beaten before
the second round was ended. "i.
The race was full of surprises. Xaz
zaro was. not prominent early in; the
contest. Lancia took . the , first three
laps,, but when he broke down at the
third and surrendered the lead to Du
ray, the latter, as he reeled .off' lap
after lap under 40'- minutes, looked an
easy winner. But on: entering the
fourth round a broken bearing put his
car out of action and he was forced to
retire amid the plaudits of. the crowd.
In the meantime.Nazzaro. riding like'
a demon, but cool .and steady, over
hauled •• Lancia, and when Duray ;
dropped'oiit' he continued on- unheaded
to the finish. " ' '; \ :- '
- Szisz came 'up from the rear" and
made a gallant .effort during -the .last
two lapsto overtake the flying leader.
Lancla's petrol gave out in the .final
round, permitting Baras to finish third.
The times of the first/second and
third "men were .as follows: Nazzaro,
6:4 C:33; Szisz;. 6:53:10; Baras, 7:05:53.
• Duray made the fastest lap, 37 min
utes 54 seconds. • Xazzaro's marvelous
'driving was evidenced by the fact that
<liis speed steadily increased as the
race progressed. His' tenth lap was
the fastest, 38 minutes 35 seconds.
Rougier finished fourth, Caillois fifth,
Rigal sixth, Barillier seventh, Garcet
eighth and Shepard ninth.
During the race a woman was dan
gerously Injured by the -bursting of a
tire ol Jenatzy's 'car.
Glorious sunshine 'favored .the start
of the' race.: Fifty" thousand persons
marched In and around the tribune and
saw. the machines bolt forward on their
dizzy journey, while ino.ooo others
were concentrated in other villages
along, the route.
The roadway dried .up nicely during
the night' and as- the start was made
looked to' be very fast. " »~V
Christie, one of the. American com
petitors. talked 1 confidently before tha
race. He said that he was sure he
would be able to control • his machine
and declared that if his gasoline held
out he would win. The signal to start
was given by six small cannon mounted
opposite thelribune. With the sound
of the .first report, Lancia, in a Flat
car, Fhot by the stand, the first away.
He was! sent off .; with a roar, of ap
plause. The' other competitors followed
at minute Intervals. Duray in a Tor
raineDeitrich; was. fourth; Szisz,-driv
ing for the, Renaults, was ninth away.
Christie, in his American machine, was
twelfth; >'azzaro. In another. Fiat, was
eighteenth; Heath,, an American, driv
ing a PanhArd, was twenty-fifth, and
Shepard, also ; an. American, was the
thirty-second man to get away. The
lodges at the tribune were . crowded
with nobles, including Count Forez,
commanding the Third army corps,. the
troops i ithat kept the course -clear;
Prince and Princess' . Orloff Dairoff,
Baron Rothschild and scores. of promi
nent automobilists from both sides of
the Atlantic- '.'- . \- -
From the tribune almost a third of
the i course' was visible, the red dots
where the French solders.^ stood mark
ing, the route through the green land
scape.'' - v": •':/,••/-'
Eight contestants were-sobn reported
as having been crippled and having
dropped . out of, the race. Christie was
having much trouble and was consid
ered as'_i^nominioußly beaten," but he
was bravely trying to patch his/ma
chine for another start- Finally n>3
dropped- out of the race.
DAXTEL GETS JUDGMENT
Treasurer. Charles, A, Bantel was a
witness jn his* own yesterday
In Judge Seawell's court, gjj All fees;re
.tained by his office ' from Inheritance
tax collection's, he testified, .were paid
to his attorney, Cleveland L. . < Dani.
Judge Seaw;ell had already ruled that
while Bantel had no ; right .to:- retain
the fees; in question for himself the
state law : permitted - him to, turn the
fees over to an attorney. -After Ban
tel had testified Judge Seawell ordered
judgment in his favor.; in the suit
brought by the city to compelhira to
turn into . the treasury fees amounting
to $8,500, which he had .from
the . amounts collected under; the in-

TWO NOTABLE -OPTIMISTS
: "I am an out and out optimist,'- said
Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, in an in
terview with Dr. Ludwlg Ganghofer in
Munich, lie added: ?!Nothin.g»will pre
vent me continuing so to the end" of
my life; When I travefl am freed for
a few weeks of all that weighs on/me.
Yet people often take amiss that which
gives me such pleasure. I know'lam
called the 'traveling . emperor,' but I
have always taken that as. a joke. I
love "traveling, especially .?, In my own
coUntrj^_loften feel- inclined to jump
Into an automobile and dash off .for 1 a
couple of days, returning full of energy
and contentment." If; such :af state
ment were published: ln our. own coun
try without a name attached: it would
be ascribed without the slightest hesi
tation to President Roosevelt. - There
are many, points of similarity between
the German emperor and the "American
president. Each is a confirmed opti
mist because he is supremely confident
that.wben he is away everythingis be-*
ing run exactly right.— Baltimore Sun. -
