CAN’T FIND AUTOISTS j
WHO KILLEO VETERAN
Occupants of Car That Struck
William Brittain Not
Known to Police.
Despite rigid questioning of the em- j
ployees of practically every public gar- j
age in the city, the police are still baf
IP-,I as to the identity of the occupants
of the automobile that struck and kill
ed William H. Brittain, an aged in
mate of the Soldiers' Home, early last
Tuesday night.
Mr. Brittain was carried to the Sol
diers' Home in an automobile and laid
on tin front porch of one of the cot
tages on the grounds. The police be
lieve that this was the same-car that
caused the old man's death. They
have made strenuous efforts to ascer
tain if the occupants of the car. de
clared by several Inmates of the Sol
diers’ Home to have been a man and
a bov. mentioned the occurrence to any
one. If the latter have (lone so, the ,
police have not heard of It
Mr. Brittain is declared by Detec
tive Sergeant Kellarn to have told him
that he waa on his way home from
the Fair grounds, walking in a ditch
beside the boulevard, when an automo
bile occupied by a man and a boy
became unmanageable, ran off the
road and struck him. Keilani says the
victim told him that the entire occur
rence was purely an accident, and that
the people In the auto had done ever} -
thing In their power for him.
Mrs. William Dees, head nurse at
the Soldiers' Home hospital, denies
that any such statement was made by
Mr. Brittain. The latter was In no
condition to describe what l^td hap

TAPIR, FREE, LEADS
KEEPERS IN CHASE

the Bronx Bark Gardens and

NEW YORK, Oct. I" Rudolph,
the large, health' and vigorous tapir
from Fifth congressional district
of the Himalaya Mountains, who was
elected to ornament the Bronx l'ark
Zoological Gardens, went on a jam
boree Saturday uiglil. und yesterday
he was tapering oft from the effects
of the debauch bv trying to hide him
self in a corner of the elephant house.
He looked as much ashamed of him
self as do a lot of normal school girls
after an onion orgy. If he makes as
good a job of tapering off as he used
to make of tapering for the lurndit
of the sightseers in the park he will
be forgiven.
While some earl} risers in Bronx
dale were going to .church and some
up-laters were going home yesterda}
they saw romping through the streets
what might have been either a co
lossal pig or a small elephant, accord
ing to the point of view. Those on
the vva.v home said if it was blue U
was a pig. and if pink it was an ele
phant. They were tapering, ton.
others were Walter Ferguson and
Walter Thumun. keepers. With ropes
and nets they tried to capture Ru
dolph. Finally they got a rope around
Rudolph' neck and started to lead him
back, hut instead Rudolph did the
leading. As il he were going over '
the Vanderbilt cup course on a try
out the tapir took both keepers along,
and when he came to Cope l,ake. in
the park, he decided on a little aqua
tics. Tho keepers didn't want any.
hut they went along, nevertheless.
Across the shallow pond they got j
their rope around a tree, and Ru
dolph wasn’t abb to pull it down, but

The keepers said that the tapir is |
kept in a cage having doublet doors, ■
the outer one being of the folding
variety. The innner one was left open
Saturday night, and Kudloph butted
through the outer one and proceeded
to ills hilarity. I

I.ike the •'loveliest village of the ,
plain.” the State Fair Grounds, which,
a week ago were teeming with life
and activity, the gates to the 1910
still and deserted. Save a lonely car
penter skulking across the grounds
or a heavily loaded wagon creeping I
out of the gate, there is no life nor
movement.
The live stock has been led away;
most of the exhibits have been moved
from the exhibit buildings, the gar
rulous poultrj have been sent ror. ,
Where there was tumultuous noise
there Is now desolation.
Flags flutter along the once busy
Midway, but the voice of the spieler!
Is stilled. A few of the sanvaa tents. !
from which the exhibits have been I
removed. Hap miserably In the wind, j
The big exposition building Is quiet,
the crowds are gone—the big fair is !
over..
But In the headquarters under the ,
grandstand the general manager. Mr.
Mark K. ijoytl—the man who made
the fair—Is busy, lie and a corps
of clerks are counting and tabulating.
To the casual observer their activity
appears Idle and foolish, but closer
observance reveals what they are do
ing. They are counting money.
Marie Big Money.
The fair this year made money—
big money. All of it has not yet been
counted, but the gate receipts, Includ- .
lug the sale of tickets. Is estimated !
at $65,000. fully equal to the receipts'
rrom similar sources last year, though
two days of the 1810 fair were prac
tically lost on account of rain., while
the week of the ISC!* show was clear t
throughout *
Because the attractions arul exhibit*
wree far better this year and more
varied, the attendance for the font '
good days was as great, as far as 1
present estimates go. ns that for the 1
six days last year, running about ’
160.000,

which, when completed, will show |

By reason of certain incidental ex
penses for extras on the new exposi
tion building, costing about $6,000.
the fair opened last Monday after an
outlay Of from *20,000 to *16,000. Of
this nearly f 10,000 had been spent for
advertising, the rest going for general
maintenance, impro\ einent and open- j
lug incidentals. t
l''rtim the smallest and most insig- i

the famous aeroplane. practicably t
everything was eomplate and ready i
for the big crowds W'hen the gates I
opened. By being able to do not less ■ *
than a dozen things at once, and by ! <
his ability to be In several different
places at the .same time, cieneral | (
Manager i.loyd had arranged every- j i
thing, and from the time the first i
visitor entered the ground early Mon- 1
day morning to the closing hour Sat- t
urday night there was not a hitch. i
Stock Sold. 1
The exhibits assembled from all , t
over the country were the best everji
shown In Virginia. The live stock
the Judges declared supreme, and t
more than one exhibitor, availing i j
himself of the many farmers on the 1
grounds wishing 'to Improve their i
breeds, sold some of their finest rib- \ \
bon-wlnners, thus assuring for Yir- i
glnia stock men a better strain. 1 i
jn one department alone an exhlh-,
itor sold nearly $4,000 worth of prize
winning: sheep. A number of horses
were sold at top prices, aeveral dairy '
and beef bulla and on we were die- j
pesed of to Virginia farmers, while I
numerous fat hoge and a large num-1
ber of fowl* were sold.
The concessionaires are particularly
pleased ajt the treatment they received '
at the hands of the fair management!
this year, a number of additional con- j
venience* being placed at their die- i
poaal, T!)o lighting facilities were!
better, and the concession* were'
charged hut 40 cents per sixteen can-!
dle-power light for the entire six daya i
and nights, unless the globes were
broken. In that case the concession
aires were of course expected to re
place them or pay something addi
tional.
Quick (1st A nay.
As soon as the gates closed upon the
visitors Saturday night the carpenters j
enlored. Months were torn down and 1
exhtbits removed. Waiting trains re
ceived most of the ‘ foreign" exhibits, 1
and nothing now remains but a few tl
entries sent In by local merchants and •
manufacturers, suid these will be haul- c
Bd away and stored within the next
few hours.
All the premiums to out-of-town
exhibitors have been paid. Check*
representing thousand* of dollar* were
distributed Friday, Saturday and Sun
lay. ■ Nothing is now charged against
the association which cannot be set
tled within a short time and without
trouble.
Already plans have been laid for the
1911 fair, and Manager Lloyd an
nounces that many of the beat at
tractions of this yesr will return, while
others—and among these are som* of
lit- best in the I'nlted State*—have

On one side la Miss Waleska f»ad*

Has Aura Law, school teachers. The ,
ownapsople are about evenly divided
n the question Several fist fights

utawney.
Miss Jones and Miss Law won a

Miss Jones and Miss la»w, In meat- /
iring up Paris by Punxautawney {
tandard. are said to have made the l
ssertlons that Paris Is Immoral: that
t #ai not beautiful; that there is

hlaves abound and that tho French
radically live In the boulevards
Anally, they said, Parle was much
Irtler in every way than Punxy.
After hearing theae chargee. Mica
addler wrote to the editor of the
’unxsutawney Spirit: “Such are the
hargea many provincial tourists carry
ome with them after a three days'
ojoti rn in Parle. They only show
