Young American. Millionaire
Establishes New World's
Record.'
MAKES 74.45 MILES All HOUR
Captured Greatest American Trophy
-.-Only Six Cars Finished Race
No Mishap Causing Loss of
Life or Limb
Savannah, Ga., Nov, 30. -Flying
taster than the biting wind which
swept the frozen race course, David
I.. Hnice-Brown, the young American
millionaire today established a . new
worlds record for automobile road
races in winning his second ' grand
prize race in as many years at an av
erage of 74.45 miles an hour. His av
erage last year over the same course
was 70.55 miles an hour. 1
The supreme honor again went .to
?.n American driver piloting a foreign
ar, but thi3 year It was an "Italian
Fiat instead of a German Benz that
Carried the dauntless Bruce-Brown to
victory. His elapsed time today was
331 minutes -and ,29 and 13-100 sec
onds. ' ...
Bruce-Brawn captured the greatest
American trophy only after a fierce
:.nd nerve-racking struggle in which
Eddie Hearne, driving a Benz. was
Mnd, two minutes behind at 333:33
7-100, and Ralph DePalma third , at
:W4:40 85-100. - ' !
No mishap involving Hfe or .limb
:r.arred the running of what probably
wUl be the last or these Classic races
at Savannah
The exciting flnlsu of the great con
test brought thousands of cheering
tiectators to tncif feet, so intense was
the interest As the winner's' red car
lashed into view a mile distant (rom
the grandstand tn -the hdme stretch,
a mighty roar of applause; rent, the
air and Increased In volume -as .the
rarer crossed Ue line in a,metoric
burst of speefi'. - r-y .
Of the sixteen foreign and 'Ameri
can racing machines which ' darted
away at 9 o'clock this morning In the
gruelling 411.3G mile-contest, only, six
finished. All of the remainder were
enable to undergo the tearing endur
ance strain and were eliminated from
time to time by the breaking of vital
'lortiens of their mechanism.
The foreign cara apparently surpass
ed the American manufacturers as not
,-. single one of the latter crossed thj
tape at the finish In a place. On the
other hand American drivers demon
strated superiority over the . foreign
pilots. 1
The outcome of the race wasv a sur
prise to automobile enthusiasts, as
Ticither of the two favorites of yes
terday was in the running at the fin
ish. Victor Hemery, the Benz driver, j
who was heavily playeu, was not u
KCntender for the honors after, the
seventh lap. Louis .agner, the other
favorite, retired his Flat from the con
test in the fifteenth turn. Neither of
the two favorites of yesterday, both
frenchmen, was in the running at the
finish. . ;
The most thrilling moments of the
.spectacular race wgre wild at the con
clusion of the twenty-iaecond lap. On
.he previous lap Bruce-Brown had
Hashed by the grandstand in the lead
-ith Eddie Hearne 36 seconds behind
and Ralph Mulford following closely.
As Bruce-Brown's Fiat appeared in the
distance, a groan of dismay went out
from the thousands of throats when it
was seen that he was slowing down
for a stop at the pits. Scarcely had
his predicament become ' manifest
when Eddie Hearne hurst into view
and likewise sloiwed down at the pits.
A wild burst of cheering rent the firm
ament when Ralph Muliord, the third
of the leadine trid. passed the start
ing point only to halt at he Lozier
nit.
The stopping of the three. cars was
a sienal for a spirited race between
the resDective drivers and mechanics
r taking on gasoline and changing
tires. ;
The spectators leaned forward and
-rtiout.ftrt encouragement, as oil cans
were deftlv oDened and their con
;ents fairly hurled into the steaming
tanks. Simultaneously, knives were
jabbed into the damaged tires and
a ith the air hissing like disturbed
Ktrpents they were cast into ti pits
to be replaced by new ones wltn in
credible ctneed. ' i
Mulford was the first to complete
uairs and a minute and a halrafter
iht; had halted, the Lozier, throbbing
aid thumping, darted away- amia
' cloud of smoke.
Twenty seconds after -lUlford had
(UsanDeared in the distance : Bruce
Brown and his machanisian sprang in-
ff their bie Fiat and started in pur
suit. The Benz. team was off again
'en seconds behind the . Fiats. With
reports from the unmuffled exhaust
lapping like a gattling gun the ma
:hine spurted forward ,and soon . was
lost to sight in the. wake of the leaa
ers.
The interest of the spectators in the
1 faders was iso intense that the few
Jninutea necessarv to complete the
Jwenty-third lap dragged Ke hours
. Bruce-Brown . was the first to ajK

THE EXPRESS MONOPOLY.
How Long Will ' the Country Suffer
Being Asked in Washington.
' (By Clyde H. Tavenner.J -Washington,
. Nov. 30. How Song
must vthe, people. 'continue ta pay .nx-
press" companies a ' profit of 40 perl
cent a year on money that is not in
vested in the express business, and
that exists in blue air only?
This is a " question that the people
desire answered, judging from the
ever increasing number of communi
cations on this subject that are being
received from all parts of the United
States by members of Congrese.
The attention of xour correspondent
has been directed to more than a
score of these communications within
the last day or two. Interest in the
subject seems to have been augment
ed by the report of Prosecutor Frank
yon, of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
"Out here in Iowa we do not object
to: having express companies make a
good, liberal rate of Interest on money
actually Invested- writes a resident
of Ottumwa, la. "The thing that
arouses our disgust is that the govern
ment permits the express companies
to extort a profit of from 25 to 50 per
cent on a capitalization that is two-
thirds water. I would like to see a
parcels post established in this coun
try. such as they have in every other
first-class nation on the face or the
globe. ' If we can't have a complete
system, whv can't we have a limited
system, at deast, to be operated be
tween the larger cities and a few of
the neighboring towns? This would
act as a starter, at least, and pave the
way for a more complete system."
Mr. Lyon, In his report, shows tnat
the, total incomes of all the companies
amounts v to $132,000,000 annually.
Thla sum, divided by the number, of
tons hauled, .shows that the charge
for carrying express matter is ldi.M
per ton. The average express rate is
16 times, the freight rate, the latter
being 81.90' per -ton. The net income
from the express companies opera
tion is 811.000.000. and on their own
valuation of 827,000,000, their profit is
shown to be approximately 40 per
cent. It i known that the actual val
ue of the -express companies equip
ment is only about one-third of what
they allege it is, so that their pronts
on the actual capital invested runs up
to more than 100 per cent

Supreme Court's Decree Becomes Ef

Companies Will Be Conduct
ed in Horned States
. 4
New York, Nov. 304-The career of
the "Oil Tru,gt" oft?: tally came to an
end today. The Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, sometime called
the father of trusts Jand perhaps the
most celebrated corporation in the
world, will no longer control the af
fairs, as the holding oompaay, of more
than .. thirty corporations in.. . various
branches of the oil business. - Begin
cjng tomorrow., these subsidiaries,
which, under. the decree of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court, must con
duct independently the various enter
prises, will assume entire manage
ment of their own affairs. '
The oil trust theoretically passed
out of exfBtence on August -ist, when
the book: containing the records of the
company's stockholders were closed
for distribution of the .stock of the
subsidiaries, but during the interven
ing period of re-adjustment it was ne
cessary to preserve the old form to
a large extent Now, itha work of dis
integration has been completed. The
stock Issues representing, the subsidi
aries will pass Into the hands of own
ers of old Standards Oil stock tomor
row and the threads VhJch long have
bound the old companies together will
be severed. . , .
The task of effecting dissolution
was made less difficult by the fact
that the subsidiary companies never
had lost their identity,.- They have
retained thel.- sRra.pta officers - and
tent hare conducted nheirJWB affairs
from their toms offices in whatever
States they were. These-companies,
however, have had representation at
21 Broadway, the home of the TJew
Jersey corporation, which exercised
general direction over, all their af
fairs. It is this connection which wil!
end. Subsidiaries which have not al
ready surrendered their, office ; at -26
Broadway will .do so, and henceforth
the affairs of ach - company will be
conducted in its home State. The
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey,
will continue to exist as it owns sev
eral large plants.
To each stockholder win be forward
ed tomorrow his proportionate share
ot stock in each of the subsidiaries,
so that in place of one issue of stock
he will have more than thirty. Tne
subsidiaries will continue to exist as
heretofore except that in cases where
the same men have acted as- officers
or directors of more than ' one com
pany, changes will ue made to avoid
such duplication.
In the removal " of officials of sub
sidiaries who have had their offices at
26 Broadway a large number of men,
who for years have lived in New York.
will .be affected. Score of officials and
clerks will be- transferred to other
cities.
The public's relations with Stan
dard Oil will not be visibly affected,
at least for the present. No one is
able to forecast the ultimate effect of
the dissolution, whether it will have
any bearing upon retail prices, or up
on the relation of the companies in
the Standard Oil group with indepen
dent producers. Increased competi
tion is expected, but the public will
be obliged to bide its time before find
ing out whether It Is to have cheaper
oil."

an address here today before St. An

He declared the business interests
of the country miist be built- upon

CHINESE ASSEMBLY GOMVEHED
A Secret Session, Mainly of Imperial
ists--Approves Franco-Belgian
Loan Rebels Make Another
- Capture-
Peking, Nov. 30. The National
Assembly convened in secret session
today at the request of Yuan Shi Ka;,
the Premier. The number of mem
bers present has not been ascertain
ed, but it is believed to have been
small, mainly Imperialists.
The Franco-Belgian loan of $30,000,-
000, which was negotiated by the Jap
anes Baron Cottu, was approved, as
also was the contract in conjunction
with the loan for a bridge across the
Yang Tse river between Hankow and
Wu Chans. The sum of 14.000.000
taela, to be delivered to the goverrii
inent througn the Russian and Bel
gian banks here, will be forthcoming
Immediately. t
There has been a significant move
ment of troops in and out of Peking,
Manchus departing and Chinese tak
ing their places. It is reliably report
ed that by reason of these changes
the garrison now is almost equally
balanced between Manchu and Chi
nese troops. The flfction ot the re
gent in permitting the departure of
the Manchus is believed to indicate
his reliance on the loyalty of Yuan
Shi Kai, but what is considered the
real reason for the "change is that
Yuan Shi Kai feared an outbreak'
among the troops, which would aug
ment his difficulties and possibly re
sult in anti-foreign disorders. Promi
nent Manchus, however, distrust Yuan
Shi Kai and believe his object was
solely to obtain complete power.. ;
Reports are seriously circulated, here
that Yuan Shi Kai Intends to assume
the Regency, if . not the throne.
Friends of the Premier, fearing for his
assassination by - either Manchus or
Chinese, recently soncitea several oi
the foreign legations to take measures
to protect him. The legal chiefs,
though the dean of the diplomatic
corps intimated their willingness to
acquiesce.
Most of the provinces have declined
or Ignored the government's summons
that they sent representatives to. Pe

Pennsylvania .Took Seventeenth
Thanksgiving Game From Cor

Norfolk, Va., November 3Q The
Virginia Polytechnic Institute football -team,
from Blacksburg, defeated here
today by a score of 3 to 0, the eleven
from North' Carolina's Agricultural
and Mechanical College, at Raleigh.
Sii thousand people witnessed the
battle. When W. Legge was called from the
side lines into the game he had been
watching since the beginning of the '
first quarter, it meant defeat for A.;&
M. The ball was on Carolina's thirty
five yard line in V. P. I.'s possession.
and directly in front of the goal posts.
I nere was one minute left in which to
play, and it-required at least two
points for one of the teamB tp win.
The two elevens faced each other;
Legge stepped back a few yards, Ber
nied stretched out on 'the grass and
the ball was passed back by Gi'otos
fromi center.' Down on the ground it
went, when up went Legge's right foot
and over the bar .directly between the
two goal posts the oval sailed. It was
a spectacular, brilliant tolay. and .it
counlted -for three, points. It was
enough.; A. & Minever had another
chance, and in thlrtyseconds the con
test ended with' the aurprising victory
for the team from BJacksburgv -
The first two Periods failed t6 how.
any advantage "for"-either team, and i t-v -was'
almost agreed;'' that Abe . tame
would end in a tie,1, when it ' v s an-; ;

the University of Virginia today de
feated the University of North Caro
lina in their annual football contest by
the score of 28 to 0. After the first
twelve iminulbee of play there was no
question of doubt as to the result, for
the strong Virginia line ploughed
through at will. .' Todd,' the speedy half
back of Virginia, made the first touch
down. 1 The "ball "had been steadily ad
