Terrific Pace Is Set. ELGIN, ILL., Aug. 30.—Gil Ander- son, in a Stutz car, this afternoon won the Elgin National road race of 301 miles. Anderson led the field of racers after the fourth lap. Ralph Mulford, who pressed the Stutz pilot hardest, was within two minutes of overtaking him once, but Anderson urged his car faster.

His engine collapsed and l was forced to push the car off tho ourse. • [oe Dawson’s rear tire burst as he as passing the grandstand and the rapidly revolving wheel tossed half <>f the scorching hot tire into the •>wd. It narrowly missed several spectators. A man who attempted to pick up the piece of rubber was burned on the hand. Mercer Men in Clever Scheme. .1 When 136 miles had been covered, the real race had been between Spen cer Wishart and Ralph Mulford for second place. Gil Anderson was hold ing first place with more than five minutes’ lead. It was apparent that the race of the two Mercer cars was being ordered from the pits. Ralph De Palma, who now holds the cup being raced for to day was not attempting to get the speed out of his car that was in it. Wishart, his teammate, was setting the pace for the other drivers, worrying Ralph Mulford, a contender who was to be feared more than any other foe of the Mercer drivers and compelling Ander son to keep up a pace that taxed his Stutz car to the utmost. It was plainly the object of the Mercer pitmen to have Wishart ex haust the other drivers and ma chines. and then De Palma could * oil k up speed and pass the flagging ” leaders. Henning’s Velie car was officially declared out of the race. He had covered four laps when his car went into the ditch. Two .tacers Near Death. JJd Rickenbacher in his Mason car, the first to meet with a mishap, nar rowly escaped death when his ma chine went off the track and over turned. The driver and Edward O'Donnell, his mechanician, were thrown clear of the wrecked machine. A burst tire threw Rickenbacher out of his course and the machine turned into the ditch going at a furious rate of speed. O'Donnell was thrown through a wire fence, but he was not Injured. Riok- enbacher’s only injuries were bruises. A broken axle on the raring car pre vented its being repaired to continue the race. Twelve cars remained In the entry list at the starting hour. Harry Endi- cott. who was prevented from winning third place yesterday by the crowd rushing out on the track before the race was over, withdrew' his Nybeig i-ar from to-day’s card. Hughes Faiis to Start. The Deltal car, which Joe Dawson drove yesterday, was not made ready for to-day’s race because no driver could be found who was considered competent to handle it. Hughle Hughes’ Tulsa was scratched.

It will be shipped to Hape- vllle, where Hawkins’ parents reside. Hawkins was killed because he lacked 50 cents of sufficient, money to pay a small board bill and ran to es cape arrest by the officer called by an irate landlord. R. W. Willis, a bailiff, Is Mn jail charged with murder, as he fired the shot that killed the youth. Charles Jordan Is the landlord who sought Hawkins’ arrest that resulted In the youth’s death. No effort will be made to secure bail for Willis until his preliminary hearing early next week Luther Hawkins, his brother, An drew, and another youth came to Co lumbus earlier in the week seeking work in the cotton mills. They were poor boys. They secured board at Jordan’s home. Friday afternoon they were called upon to settle their bill. The three pooled their cash and counted it. They lacked 50 cents of having enough to meet the bill. The landlord said he would have them arrested and locked in jail for beating a board bill unless they paid the whole amount. Making good his threat, Jordan telephoned to the Sheriff’s office and asked that aft offi cer be sent to his boarding house. Bailiff Willis was detailed to answer the call. Told Boy* to Run. Mrs. Jordan realized the plight the boys were in and sympathized with them, disapproving of the course taken by her husband. She told them to run. They did. Jordan ano the bailiff started In pursuit in a buggy. They soon overtook Lutne*' Hawkins and called on him to stop. Fearing he would be landed in Jail, the frightened youth kept going. Then Bailiff Willis drew his pistol and fired The bullet struck Hawkins in the back of the head, going through the skull and lodging over the right eye. He fell in his tracks, and in a few minutes w r as dead, never regaining consciousness. Jordan and Willis left the scene. The killing was reported to the po lice. Willis later was arrested at his home. He denied any intent to kill Hawkins, declaring that he had fired only to frighten him, and aimed above his head. Citizens of Columbus to-day are condemning the killing as unjustifi able and unwarranted. It is declared that the offense for which Hawkir.s was sought did not even warrant the officer in firing at him, even merely to frighten him. Sympathy is with the slain youth, his brother and companion. RYE DAYS TO ACT RACING RESULTS Mexicans Resent Wilson’s Advice to Americans to Flee—Willing to Hear From President. AT OTTAWA.

IN THIRD MEXICO CITY, Aug. 30.—Advices from Vera Cruz to-day stated that Special Envoy Lind would not wait longer than next Thursday for de velopments to bring him back to Mexico City. If conditions at that time are such that the pacification negotiations can not be resumed he probably will wait no longer but will return to Washington. Foreign Minister Gamboa Indicates that the negotiations are ended so far as his Government is concerned and says that there will be no definite move on the part of the Mexican Gov ernment to resume the conversations. However, Senor Gamboa said that President Huerta Is open to any fur ther suggestions that President Wil son cares to make. Contrary to his purposes President Wilson’s repeated demands that Huerta resign have started a presi dential boom for the incumbent of the National Palace. Although Huerta can not legally succeed himself he can follow' the course adopted by Porflrio Diaz of resigning on the eve of a presidential election and then being re-elected. Tn official circles resentment against President Wilson’s advfice to Ameri cans to flee the country is growing. It w’as pointed out that under the Guadalupe Hidalgo treaty of 1848 Mexico is bound to protect all Amer icans w’ithin her border. This treaty likewise governs inter national disputes between Mexico and the United States. Through disus> it fell into obscurity, and this is the first time that mention ha^ been made of it. President Huerta is preparing to to have the attention of Secretary Bryan called to the treaty. The suggestion has been made that President Wilson gave his advice to Americans not on account of present conditions here but because of con templated action by the United States. The railway line to Laredo was opened to-day after having been closed for a number of months. Reb els burned a number of bridges along the line and dynamited tracks.

Episcopal Church to Drop Davidson Case RICHMOND, Aug. 30.—It was an nounced to-day that Episcopal Church authorities have decided not to press charges against the Rev. Charles R. Davidson, former rector of the Church of the Epiphany, Atlanta, who recently sprung a sensation by burn ing his vestments at Montlcello and repudiating the church. In fact, the Rev. Mr. Davidson voluntarily placed himself beyond the Jurisdiction of the church by this spectacular action, rendering prosecution by the church unnecessary, it Is stated. The hearing of charges which had reference to his conduct while rector at Buchanan, Va., was scheduled to take place In Roanoke In September. Americans Gather at Port to Leave.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. VERA CRUZ, MEXICO. Aug. 30.— There are 150 Americans here either waiting to take passage for the Unit ed States or for developments which will make it possible to remain in this country wdth safety. Some of the Americans sought in terviews wdth John Lind, Special En voy of President Wilson, but Mr. Lind could give no information. For the present, it seems, Mr. Lind and his conferee. Foreign Minister Gamboa, are marking time. Consul General ShankUn In Mexico City has been authorized to furnisn passage money to any Americans who are temporarily out of funds. In spite of the protestations of the Mexican Government that all foreigners are safe, both Mr. Shanklir and Charge d’Affaires Nelson O’Shaughnessy aro urging Americans to leave at once. The insistency wdth which Ameri cans are warned to ieave tne country has angered certain men of President Huerta’s Cabinet.
