ACCIDENTS
Series of Early Mishaps Keeps
Four Racers From Big Elgin
Automobile Contests.
I ELGIN. ILL.. Aug. 31.—With a rush
I and a rdar. the racist cars, their en
gines working to the very limit, their
mufflers open and barking like gatling
guns, were sent away today In the two
big races of the Elgin meet. The two
races were run simultaneously. Four
of the cars were entered in both con
tests, one of which required 30 laps and
the other 36.
A series of accidents before the race
started forced the withdrawal of four
cars, among them the big Fiat that
was to have been driven by Teddy Tetz
latY. the favorite.
DePaimu's car, which was in trouble
before the race, was repaired in time
to get away with the others.
cast Uace at Start.
The lap rr<ord for the Elgin course
kas lowered twice as the cars were on
their first lap and again in the third
lap. Mulford sent his car around the
; first time in 7:15. The previous low
, mark was ,:19. DePalnta crossed the
tape just after Mulford, making the cir
cuit in seven minutes flat. In the third
lap Bergdoll negotiated the S miles
-’.499 feet in 6:5a, an average of 74.4
miles an hour.
At the end of the fourth lap Bergdoll.
in the Benz, was leading the free-for
all. having made the four laps in 27:50.
DePalma was second. Bergdoll was
not entered in the Elgin race and De-
Palma was first In it. Mulford in a
KKnox was third in the free-for-all and
second in the Elgin with Hughes and
his Mercer third in the second event.
Mercedes in Smashup.
George Clark, driver of a Mercedes
car and Fred Malone, his mechanician,
were painfully injured and their car
demolished in making the Hornbeck
turn on the sixth lap of the free-for-all
nice today. Malone was thrown front
the car into the straw bales erected as
butter at the turn, (’lark's head was
flung' backward, striking the gasoline
tank cap. inflicting a deep scalp wound.
Both wrists were sprained. Both
wheels were torn oft’ the car.
Heat of Track Terrific.
The heat on the course was terrific
and the heat and speed showed their
effect on the tires. It was a grueling
contest for the drivers as well.
At the end of the fifteenth lap, with
the little race half done and the free
for-all more thana third completed, the
leaders stood:
Free-for-All—Bergdoll. Mulford and
DePalma.
Elgin Trophy DePalma, Mulford and
Anderson in a Stutz.
Hughie Hughes, driving a Mercer,
was forced to withdraw in the fifteenth
lap. He broke a connecting rod bear
ing. He stood fourth in both races at
the time of the accident. His with
drawal left eight cars on the track.
The starter’s bomb was fired at
11:07 o'clock. A car entered in both
the races was sent away and then the
others left at fifteen-second intervals.

er, in a trial spin today broke the trans
mission gear of his big Fiat car and it
was'hopelessly crippled. Tetzlaff was
looked upon as the favorite in today’s
Investigating Mishap.
rite accident to Tetzlaff’s machine is
.being investigated. The accident is
i unique. He was running 30 miles an
hour when the car slackened and came
to a dead stop. Efforts to shift the
gears failed and he opened the hood.
Six bolts holding the differential gear
to the differential had been sheared off.
Whether they were the result of an
accident or whether the car had been
tampered with is the question that the
investigators are trying to solve. The
hood of the machine was sealed last
night and apparently the seal had not
been broken this morning.
Tetzlaff himself said he did not think
that any one had tampered with the
car. At the same time he said he had
never heard of an accident like that
which occurred today.
Jack Johnson, who drove an Austin
racer to the track, offered his car to
Tetzlaff. He said he would drive the
car himself if the official would assign
him Tetzlaff’s number. The officials
said neither proposition could be ac
cepted.
Neil Whalen's big National did not
start in the race. Engine trouble that
developed yesterday put nis car out of
commission. It was working so badly
that he did not attempt to start today
Both Falcars, one driven by G. Trus

NOT TO ABANDON
INTERURBAN IDEA
Promoters Only Disappointed
by State's Refusal to Permit
Full Stock Bonus.
Notwftlistanding the refusal of the
Qeorgia railroad commission to author
ize an immediate issue of $3,600,000
bonds and $3,600,000 capital stock bonus
by the Atlanta and Macon Railway-
Company (interurban), it is by no
means certain that the project will be
dropped.
The commission, after a long and ex
haustive hearing, granted the road the
right to issue immediately $3,600,000 in
bonds, but cut its proposed stock issue
in half, reducing it from $3,600,000 to
$1,800,000.
The commission, while admitting the
great merit in the proposition itself,
went on record as saying that it could
not see its way clear to authorize the
full stock issue prayed for.
The promoters of the railway are dis
appointed. of course, that their peti
tion was not granted as filed, but In
asmuch as they already have spent
more than $150,000 on the project, it
is being assuiped generally that the
abandonment of the scheme still is far
from certain.
The promoters say they had under
taken to finance the road upon a plan
frequently adopted in railroad con
struction heretofore—bonds for actual
construction and an equal amount of
stock as a bonus to bondsmen.
The railroad comission failed to see
the justice of more than 50 per cent of
the stock bonus petitioned for.
Since the railroad commission’s rul
ing many protests have come from
those along the proposed line that the
undertaking be not abandoned, and
while the promoters of the road are by
no means openly reassuring in their
talk concerning the outlook, it has no
where been stated authoritatively that
the project will be abandoned.
HACKS WIFE WITH
HATCHET AND TRIES
3 SUICIDE ROUTES
CENTRAL CITY, KY.. Aug. 31—C.
O. Dutzinger, a tailor, went to th«
office of Attorney James Stroud today,
where his wife of three months was in
consultation regarding a divorce, at
tacked her with a hatchet, nearly cut
ting her ear off and inflicting wounds in
the head.
He then rushed to his shop, and, find
ing a piece of wire, twisted it around
his throat in an effort to choke himself.
Finding this means of suicide too slow,
he began to cut himself with the hatch
et with which he had wounded Mrs
Dutzinger.
In his efforts to kill himself he turned
over a gasoline stove and the whole
building was soon in a blaze. As the
fire burned, Dutzinger lay down on the
floor and would have burned to death
had not the fire department arrived ju-t
in time to pull him out. He is so badly
wounded he can not recover and his
wife is unconscious and not expected
to live.
sias mos the speed funs. Hearne at
the last moment decided to drive the
big reserve Fiat that Teddy Tetzlaff
brought to the track.
The crowds today were bigger than
yesterday. By daylight the roads lead
ing to Elgin were filled with automo
biles on their way to the course and
early estinuites placed today’s throng
at twice the size of that at the track
during yesterday's events.
The course was in good Condition
today. Hurried work done to correct
the weak spots found after yesterday's
struggle was undertaken and today the
course was pronounced in first-class
condition for the heavier cats and fast,
er drivers.

; Cuba, Mexico, Panama.’ and
; Honduras Need Attention
J Besides Nicaragua.
, WASHINGTON. Aug. 31.—While tho
, Nicaraguan situation as viewed by state
, department officials is by far the most
, serious foreign problem with which the
, present administration has to deal, it
, i became apparent today that there are
, at least four other Central and South
, American questions which are vexing
, American diplomats and threaten to
, develop into a crisis which will test the
, resources of the I'nited States to deal
, with.
, The first and most important of these
other Latin-American problems is the
Mexican situation. Seemingly closed
by the defeat of Orozco in northern
Mexico ten days ago. the increased ac
| tlvlty of the rebels along the Arizona
and New Mexico frontiers is such that*
Iwar department officials expect Ht least
two more regiments to be introduced to
the border. These are the Thirteenth
cavalry at Fort Riley, Kansas, and the
Ninth cavalry at Fort D. A. Russell.
Wyoming. With these two forces avail.
lable, the I'nited States would have the
situation well in hand. Without them
the rebels will continue their raiding
of ranches and stealing of cattle be
cause of lack of sufficient protection
to 2,000 miles along the border.
Cuba in Limelight Again.
(.’uba, quiescent for three months, has
j again come into prominence because of
her practical refusal to punish Enrique
Maza, the journalist who assaulted
1 Hugh Gibson, American charge d’af
> faires at Havana, on Tuesday night.
• The state department has formally de
, manded Maza’s rearrest and punish
b ment. and if this Is not forthcoming
it will personally undertake to gain
reparation through an indemnity from
the Cuban government for injury to
• the American diplomat.
i The Panama situation growing out
> of the demand of Minister Dodge for
( the resignation of the chief of police
and his assistant because he accuses
the pair of graft and of failing to pro
tect Americans in Panama City, ap-
. peared to be more acute today. The
i chief of police has resigned, but his
. assistant is still In office and the Pan
ama government is showing symptoms
of supporting him against the United
States.
Honduras Threatening.
The state department will find itself
with another troublesome administra
tion on its hands. Honduras, the hot
' bed of Central American revolutions, is
the fifth seat of rebellion which local
diplomats set themselves to watch to
day.
After the Mena revolt in Nicaragua.
Honduras appears on the verge of open
1 outbreak and the I'nited States may be
forced to send marines there to guard
American property.
British Subjects in Danger.
Following the receipt of a dis-patch
from Minister Weitzel at Managua,
giving a text of a communication from
the British consul general at that point
to the home office at London, where it
is stated. that the British subjecs at
Matagalpa and other points are in dan
ger of being massacred, the state de
partment today authorized Rear Ad •
iniral Southerland, in command of the
military forces at Corinto, to send ma
rines to Matagalpa as once.
• Minister Weitzel’s dispatch, which
was delayed several days in transmis
sion, said the British consul general
was considering appealing for aid from
London.
HUNT FOR BLIND MAN
WITH $60,000 TO GIVE
AWAY FINALLY FAILS
Half a dozen Atlanta blind men were
accosted in«the streets today by various
individuals who thought they had found
Frank Fields a blind man said to have
a $60,000 check to give F. G. Nichols, of
Lineville, Ala. But none of them was
the right man and none had anything
like $60,000. so Nichols still is looking
for Fields.
A dispatch from Gadsden, Ala., today
says a blind man answering the de
scription of Fields in every way passed
through that city today on a Louisville
and Nashville train on his way to At
talla. He would not tell his name, pre
tending to be too deaf to understand
questions. The conductor said the man
was a passenger on his train to Attalla
last Wednesday.
A man closely corresponding to the
description of Fields was accosted yes
terday afternoon by an .Atlantan, but hs
denied that he was Fields or had any
such sum as that reported.
F. G. Nichols, the Alabama hotel
keeper who had been told that Fields
was looking for him with the $60,1)00
check, anxious to give it to the Ala
baman in return for kindnesses, still is
in the city on the trail of his would-be
benefactor.
