FIVE CARS SUFFER
Motorists Have Sunday Run
From Little Rock to Hot
Springs.
Associated Press.
Hot Springs, Ark.. June 20. —Sun-
day’s run of the Glidden tour was littlo
more than a joy ride, the ears making
the 65 miles from Little Rock to Hot
Springs before lunchtime. The temper
ature was about 100 and the roads
were very dusty. That the day’s run
was a terrible grind on the contesting
ears was shown by the fact that even
in so short a run five machines wert.
penalized.
The most serious mishaps were to
Lexington 103, which has been the lead
er for the Chicago trophy. About 30
miles out of Hot Springs this car broke
its right frame. It is out of the con
test as a result of the accident.
Nine miles out of this city Carter—
car 108 —broke its rear axle. Others to
lose points were the OMo, 111, which
took water six times on the short run
and was penalized eighteen points
therefor; Carter, car 8, which lost 13
points for tightening a spring seat and
for work on its driving chain, and Cino,
15, which lost 16 points for tightening
wheel bolts.
The half day’s rest in this city is a
welcome relief to the weary Glidden
ites. The Hot Springs automobilists
have given the tourists a very welcome
brand of entertainment. In the first
place bath tickets were furnished for
all as the cars came in and it is doubt
ful if a single man of the whole Glid
den crew failed to take advantage of
the famous baths and rubdowns.
During the afternoon many of the
tourists were taken over the govern
ment. reservation and later a Dutch
luneh and plenty to smoke and drink
was served at the Essex Country club.

Astrological Data Points
to Victory for Jeffries
Pacific Coast Prophet Claims Signs De
clare That Former Champion Will
Defeat Johnson in 12 Rounds.
What has #«trology got to do with the
big fight? A great deal, it would seem,
if you look at the birthdays of the two
men. The signs of the zodiac are twelve
in number, but there are only seven
planets. The names of the planets are
Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Sun Moon,
Venus and Saturn. Mars and Mercury
are the fighting x signs, with Jupiter
third in aggresiveness. The majority of
the fighters of the world were born
under these three signs, but best known
of them were born under the first two.
Strange t is it not?
A man said the other day: “We have
one fighter who has something lacking
in his make-up, and they cannot tell
what it is.’’ What is his birthday?
January 12.
That accounts for his failure. Hi's
birthday is in the negative sign of the
earth whose emotions are pity and fear,
bis planet is Saturn—the unlucky one.
This man, therefore, is apt to overtrain
and overtax his strength. He will prob
ably suffer with acute indigestion, so
that he cannot depend upon his stom
ach. He will get fits of the blues, and
lack confidence in his own powers. Un
der the sign of Mars, or its cusp, were
born the following figliiers:
Mars.
James J. Jeffries, November 15,
Mars.
Thomas Sharkey, November 26, Mars
and Jupiter.
Joe Thomas, April 9, Mars.
Charley Mitchell, November 24, Mars
and Jupiter.
Joe Gans, November 25, Mars and
Jupiter.
Jack Johnson, March 31, Jupiter and
Mars.
Frank Gotch, April 27, Mars and
Venus.
Mercury.
Tommy Burns, June 17, Mercury and
Venus.
James J. Corbett, September 1, Mer
cury.
Robert Fitzsimmons, June 4, Mer
cury.
Stanley Kctcbel, September 4, Mer
cury and Venus..
Battling Nelson, June 5, Mercury.
Jack Sullivan, September 23, Mercury
and Venus.
Mercury people are energetic, aggres
sive, hopeful, good judges of character,
and are called the air people.
Mars people are aggressive, born
fighters and leaders of men, and are
called the fire people.
You will notice that both Jeffries and
Johnson are born under the Mars sign,
hut Jeffries has the best of it, because
the sign that is next to him is a good
one, while the one that Johnson is next
to is a bad one.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MEN.
Jeffries.
Jeffries is a Mars man, with a strong
love of home. He travels with his wife,
and is deeply attached to her. His
habits are good. The combination of
Mars, the fire sign, with Taurus, the
earth sign, serves to steady him, for
fire and earth are together. He is
quick in thought and action, secretive,
a good planner, knows what he is go
ing to do beforehand, counts the. cost
before starting in, and is not afraid of

results. He will drive his projects
through to completion.
In this fight he considers he has a
principle at stake. He counts himself
the champion of the whole white race.
He feels that the negro has no right to
place himself on an equality with any
white man, and therefore he is the
white champion, against a black usurp
er. and he proposes to teach him a les
son. With him there is no personality
about it, only principle. And just be
cause there is a principle he feels it his
duty to fight for it. He long ago set
a mark for himself —and that mark was
victory and its goal was victory. There
fore, watch how careful he is in regard
to his habits, preparation for training
and the men that he surrounds himself
with. Only one thing can be said against
him, that he has broken training, and
that men who break training are apt
not to get back into it again.
Johnson.
Johnson is a mixture of Mars and
Jupiter, of Aries the'fire sign and Pis
ces the water sign, a bad combination,
for fire and water never mix; they are
natural enemies. Instead of taking the
best qualities of the sign, he seems to
have chosen the worst of them. He is
of a roving disposition, strongly opin
ionative, selfish, jealous, hot-tempered,
recklessly impetuous and fickle. He
plunges recklessly into folly; he has
lack of memory, is curious, unreason
ably stubborn, is afraid of ridicule and
really lacks confidence in his own pow
er. He is filled with self esteem, has
Ween arrlsted twelve times, mostly for
recklessly endangering human life with
the use of an automobile. He is fickle,
has broken his contract twice with two
theaters and has had his baggage at
tached. He is careless of his physical
condition and drinks continually. He
is hot-tempered. Look at the Stanley
Ketehel fight, where he rushed his man,
knocked his teeth out and fell sprawl
ing all over him. His great weakness
is his stomach. He lacks judgment
brutal force with him predominates. He
lacks both the character and brains of
bis white opponent.
The Result.
The fight will not last twelve rounds
At first Jeffries will play with Joht
son, continually telling him what he
thinks of him,‘and he will get him rat
tled and really scared, for Johnson Is
a coward at heart, for at last he will
realize that his time has come. Final
ly Jeffries will knock him out with a
body blow.

DRY WEATHER IS
INJURING CORN CROP
Special Dispatch.
San Marcos, June 20.—The contin
ued/dry weather has worked much in
jury to the corn crop and the German
farmers west of town have in some in
stances commenced to pull fodder. Still,
notwithstanding the laek of rain, there
will be a fair corn crop raised, but the
failure to secure the bumper crop that
seemed so certain a few weeks ago. has
proved a considerable cause for disap

average, and the stand about the same.
In many places the cotton has bean

DRUMMERS' JOKE OF DEVIL
BABY RAISES BIG HUB BUB
Started Rumor as a Hoax, But It Grew and Grew Until There
Are Now Scores of Persons Wearing Out Shoe Leather
on Quest to See Little Horned Messenger of Evil.
Six weeks ago, when Halley's comet,
according to hysterical prophets,
threatened to destroy the world, a cei
tain city drummer in order to add
spiee to the situation, circulated a hair
raising story to the effoet that a negro
child had been born with horns ami a
tail. He related the story to the effect
that the negro babe could be >n
the darkey settlement near the South
ern Pacific passenger station, but was
very careful not to give the exact lo- ’
cation.
In relating the yarn about the little -
black devil, the drummer stated that ।
the mother was an infidel and that tho j
father was a devout Christian. One 1
evening when the father returned home]
from work, his wife became angered at
him for reading the Bible, and grab
bing the holy book from his hands,
threw it into the kitchen stove, where
it was consumed by the flames. As the
negro woman consigned the Bible to
the fire she exclaimed: “I would rath
er have the devil in the house than that
Bible.” Several weeks later, according
to the story of this knight of the grip,
a baby boy was born to the woman and
it was equipped in an up-to-date devil
ish fashion with a pair of horns and a
tail. Mr. Drummer stated that when
the father attempted to kill the evil,

little imp spoke up and said that if he j

would take his place, and that he was
to live seven years and that when he
die', he would take the mother along
with him.
The hoax worked well among the ne
gro population, and many little knots of
men and women were seen nightly kneel
ing in the middle of the street praying
for salvation and that they might be
i spared from the evil influences of the
I Halley comet and the baby devil. The
I practical joke of the drummer worked
all right on the negro population, but
1 the jolly knight of the grip was not sat
i isfied until he turned the attention of
। the whites on the subject. In this ho
' succeeded from the fact that he would
give the names of people who had seen
the little devil. As a result of the re
port hundreds of women hiked all over
the east side of the city after dark in
looking for the s'range visitor. Many
were dubious over the report of the
devil, but the majority are still wearing
out shoe leather in hunting the joke and
believe that, every word of that drum
mer is the gospel truth.
