AUGUSTA, GA., Oct. S.—AU engineers on the Georgia railroad
went out on an order to quit operating trains at 5:30 o'clock this aft
ernoon. The order was issued by Frederick A. Burgess, assistant
grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, who is rep
resenting that organization during the strike of conductors and train
men on the Georgia road.
Mr. Burgess says he deems it unsafe for engineers to continue at
work, because of attacks on trains along the road. His order was
precipitated by the mobbing of trains at Lithonia, Harlem and Union
Point this afternoon, following attacks on other trains Thursday and
yesterday.

MG WINS
GRAND PRII;
DEM
DYING
Italian Driver Crushed Under
Car After Many Minor Mis
haps—Near Leader.
MILWAUKEE, W 13., Oct. s.—Caleb
Bragg, eleventh hour starter, won the
Grand Prix automobile race today.
With a narrow margin over Ralph
DePalma, who was in the lead part
of the way, but who was pursued by
his usual hoodoo and was forced to
stop frequently at the pits, Bragg
came across the tape first.
Bragg’s time was 359 minutes 25
seconds.
Bergdoll was second and Anderson
third.
Bergdoll’s time was 374 minutes. 58.38
seconds.
Anderson's time was 375 minutes,
22.47 seconds.
Oldfield finished fourth. His time
was 379:54.69.
Ralph DePalma's Mercedes turned
turtle in the fifty-second and last lap
of the race. His car turned over as
he was making a wonderful burst of
speed in an effort to overtake Caleb
Brabb, who was leading by a few min
utes in the race. The ear turned com
pletely over. DePalma was caught
underneath. Reports received by the
officials say that DePalma is dying.
The accident occurred on the na'r
row back stretch when both his own
and Bragg's car were running at 74
miles an hour. Bragg reported that
the car rolled over and both DePalma
and his mechanician, Alley. were
caught under it. Bragg barely stopped
at the tape, picked up officials of the
course and started at full speed for
the scene of the accident.
News of t|ie accident was kept from
the crowd of speed fans in the grand
stand.
The crowds began yelling for De-
Palma.
"What's the matter with DePalnaa?”
they shouted when his car failed to
appear.
A few minutes after the accident It
was reported that the Italian driver
still was breathing, though he was
desperately hurt.
Both DePalma’s legs were broken
and his skull was fractured.
Alley, the mechanician, was injured
internally. It is believed he will re
cover.
Tetzlaff’s Fiat, leading at the end of
the thirtieth lap, went into the ditch in
the thirty-first lap. The car apparently
sprang an axle. Driver and mechani
cian were hurled from the car. Tetz
laff was hurt, but got to his feet nnd
limped to the pit’. As the plucky driver
passed, 50,000 people In the stands rose
and gave him a monster demonstration.
The mechanician, Hill, was not hurt.
In the twenty-ninth lap Tetzlaff led
Bragg by three minutes and seven sec
onds. De Palma was ten minutes be
hind Bragg.
A series of unique accidents that sent
five cars off the track, but put only
Fontaine’s Lozier and Tetzlaff’s Flat
out of the running, marked the race.
Five of the twelve starters had with
drawn at the beginning of the thirty
first lap—those of Tetzlaff. Burman,
Hughes, Wishart and Fontaine.
Protest Airship
Flying Over Them.
Several of the drivers are protesting
against the aeroplane flying overhead,
regarding it as a perpetual menace to
the contestants.
At 10:09 oaciock Robert Burman. In
his giant Benz, was sent away first in a
field of twelve. At intervals of
one minute the other cars crossed
the starting line and the race
was on. The track was in the best con
dition it has been in since the racing
started. Drivers pronounced it both
safe and fast.
Tetzlaff made the first lap in 6:20.
the fastest time for a lap yet made on
the course The cars all made the first
lap in fast time, and Starter Wagner
predicted that the average for the race
would be above 75 miles an hour. Tetz
laff’s second lap was made In 6:l7—an
average of 75 miles an hour.
Fontaine, in a Losier. narrowly es
caped a serious accident when his car
struck the hay bales piled at the Fon
Du Lac avenue turn. The car Jumped
bales piled four deep. Fontaine and his
mechanician, Franklin, were hurled
from the car, but escaped Injury. They
righted the car and got back on the
course, speeding awjy with only a
minute’s delay. The accident occurred
