Major James E. Runde, Who
Testified Against General
Wood
Major James E. Runde, who recent
ly testified before the senate Commit
tee on military affairs that General
Leonard Wood bad Inspired a maga
zine article reflecting on the adminis
tration of General Brooke as ^Military
governor of Cuba, is a retired army of
ficer and was formerly General Wood's
legal adviser.
The article in question, which was
not published until after General Wood
»
MAJOR JAMES K. IIUNCIK.
had succeeded General Brooke at Ha
vana, Is said to have greatly incensed
General Wood against Runde.
Major Runde was graduated from
West Point In 1879 and for several
years was an Instructor at that institu
tion, but ns the result of an accident t.'
was retired from the army for physical
disability In 1893. When the Spanish
war broke out he volunteered and was
made major la an Ohio volunteer regi
ment. He practices law In Havana.

GREAT AUTO
RACING PUNS
Barney Oldfield and His Motor
Records, He Predicts a Mile
in Thirty Seconds
Holder of a majority of the Amer
lean automobile records. Barney Old
field, the noted Detroit motorist Is still
dissatisfied, and be is now preparing
to capture additional honors next sea
son. Oldfield is having built a new
racing machine that will prove, so he
anticipates, the means of cutting down
even the most sensational of bis rec
ords to date, and he will compete in
match races and against time in many
different parts of the country, begin
nlng operations- Just so soon as the
season opens.
Oldfield is one of that branch of the
auto racing fraternity that considers
the speed of motor cars to be capable
of far greater development than pres
ent records indicate. He is willing,
even anxious, to demonstrate that a
mile In a half minute is not out of the
bounds of reason. Oldfield says:
"Thirty seconds for the mile? Of
course It will he reached. Straight
away and over level roads all you have
to do is to get right up. turn It all on
and hold her down.
"I am going after that mark, and I
believe It possible. One hundred und
seventy feet and more per second—fly
ing machines outdone, touching only
here and there, hut you feel It when
you do touch and take on added power.
It will he a wonderful thing, an experi
ence I would not miss for the world.
"I hope to be first to the goal, the
first to travel a mile faster than any

one else ever traveled, not excepting
the occupant of a railroad train.
"I won't try once, but several times. I
to attain the mark."
Duray's recent record of twenty-six :
and two-flfuis seconds over the Dou'
dan road course for a kilometer was !
equivalent to a mile In forty-two and j
one-fourth seconds, which Is at the rate j
of nearly eighty-five miles an hour.
Barney Oldfield Is anxious to wager
$1,000 that he will go an entire mile
straightaway in forty-five seconds or
better.
One year ago Fournier rode a kilo
meter in the yearly trials In twenty
nine and one-fifth seconds. The speed
has increased three seconds in one
year, or over 10 per cent, and a like
increase in another year will develop a
speed of 100 miles an hour for a short
distance.
Alexander Winton of Cleveland re
cently expressed himself as well pleas
ed with the grand record work of Old
field at Denver.
"1 believe that had darkness not in
tervened Oldfield would have reduced
Ills mile record of tifty-tive and four
fifths seconds at Overland park." said
Mr. Winton. "Oldfield was compelled
to stop his ears In transit and had lit
tle time to prepare. A couple of days
would have given him the record."
Mr. Winton has unbounded faith in
the Bullet II.. which Oldfield drives, for
Mr. Wintou himself drove it both on
the road and track. ITe firmly believes
that there is not a faster ear in the
world.
Many of the automobile makers of
Europe who will exhibit their machines
at the New York Chicago and St. Lon
Is shows next season will bring fast
drivers from Europe to this country.
These men of Europe will compete In
American track races, and many will
take part in the races at Daytona
Beach and Ormonde Beach. In Florida,
late in January and early in February.
Active work has been started In be
half of the proposed transcontinental
automobile race for next summer.
Every indication pointa to the largest
entry list ever known in America for
the races on ti* Ormonde Beach and
Daytona Beach courses In January.
Makers, from all over America and
Eoeepe irflj be represented, and many
prominent men of wealth will try ont
their fast cars themselves, since on the
straightaway track of sand there can
be hat little danger.
Charles W. Wridgway haa written to
S. F. Edge of England, the premier in
automobile racing circles of that couu
try, outlining to Mr. Edge the plans for
Hieing in Florida and elsewl^re Ir
America. Mr. Edge asked for fhe In

bring it across the ocean.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry N. Bawson of
Cleveland lately made an Interesting
trip of 204 miles from Cleveland to
Erie, during which they kept accurate
track of every stop, repair and also of
the gasoline consumption.
The average mileage for the entire
Journey was 12 3-10 miles per hour, in
cluding stops, and 15 1-10 miles whil?
actually under way.
The repairs consisted of the blowing
up of one tire, tightening nut on the
high speed clutch and removing of (he
mud guard. The engine never stopped
on the trip. The total time of the trip
was 16 hours 35 minutes, stopping
time 3 hours 5 minutes and running
time 13 hours 30 minutes.
Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Spleiman of Chi
cago have started on a novel tour In
an automobile. Mr. Spleiman does
business en route and saves time and
car fare. Their trip through Missouri
and Illinois has been most successful,
and the expense has been but a pent
per mile. They have made many points
which they would ordinarily not have
mad'- in regular traveling and at times
have helped out fellow travelers held
over for many hours at small stations
waiting for trains. Their greatest rec
ords for daily mileage have been 148
and 154. Their sample cases are car
ried in a locker under a rear seat.
The novelty of the tour brings the
travelers trade throughout the country.
The automobile is bright red and has
been named ''Old Buck." As they fin
ish In a town they drive quickly away
and are not compelled to wait for
trains for hours, are not held up by
wrecks and other things and are not
compelled to make long and expensive
detours to cover the route.
It Is quite probable that there will be
so change in the auto racing rules for

George Porieicue la* Mow a Heal
'■Man In the Moon.**
Old theater goers will huve no diffi
culty in recalling the hit scored by
George Fortescue when he sang "I'm
In Love With the Man In the Moon" in
"Evangeline." It was the popular song
of Its hour, and recently the memory of
Its success was brought hack forcibly
to Mr. Fortescue.
In the production of "Winsome Win
nie" Miss Edwardes has a pretty song
alined at the changeable, whimsical
moon. and. instead of the old "prop"
moon familiar to theater goers since
stage settings were built, the manage
ment of "Winsome Winnie" has intro
duced a real man in the moon, and Mr.
Fortescue's jolly, rotund face supplies
the changing expressions which will
flit across the stage sky. He spent an
entire afternoon iu a well known gal
lery, and the photographs will be re
produced in the stage settings after a
most novel and amusing fashion.
Hyland to Retirer
It has been noised about iu racing
circles for some weeks that J. J. Hy
land will not continue to train for Au
gust Belmont, the chairman Of the
Jockey club, after this season.
While in Belmont's employ Hyland
earned a great reputation for patching
up cripples. Certainly he had material
enough to work on. for the get of Hast
ings. which Mr. Belmont races to so
large an extent, is almost without ex
ception a bunch of cripples, or soon be
comes so with racing.
Lack of sound material has assured
ly beeu a greater factor In the poor
showing of the Belmont colors this
season than any fault In training meth
ods.
