In a driving finish, with the next man only a few seconds behind htm, Hemery, of the team of French auto racers, won the race for the W. K. Vanderbllt Jr., cup, over the Long Island course today. Hemery made the distance of 283 miles In 276 minutes elapsed time. George Heath, the American, driving a French car, ma second, while Tra cey, another American, but not of the French team, was third, and Lancia, of the Italian team, fourth. Hemery won from Heath bV 8 min utes 32 seconds elapsed time. This was the second ruce for the Van derbllt cup, but today's event was marked by no serious accidents as was the race last year. The winner in 1904, Heath, ran 300 miles In five hours, twenty-six minutes, forty-five seconds. The first car was started promptly at 6 o'clock this morning and the others were sent at one minute Intervals. Jenatzy, of the German team, was the first away and during the earlier rounds of the course In the race he wan favorite. He waa delayed, however, for a half hour ormore at Bull's Head comer by the breaking of his chain, on the third lap. Lancia Had Chance. In the meantime Lancia waa reeling off the miles and had taken a great lead, -which he maintained until he col lided with Christy. In this collision Christy's machinist had a rib broken. Fochall P. Keene met a mishap early In the race that compelled his with drawal. Keene was reported at the grandstand to have run Into a tele graph pole, smashing his machine. Sir. Keene himself telephoned to the stand that he was uninjured, but would be unable to continue the race. His m i dline skidded at a tuz-n and threw out the machinist. Keene stopped just in time to avoid running over the man. Local Machinist. Another minor accident that caused some apprehension was the report of Lyttle losing his mechanician, Ttter sall, out of the car while passlng( through a piece of woods on the back of the course. W. K. Vanderbllt, Jr., jumped into his racing machine and sped back over the course to pick Tat tersall up. It was found that the me chanician had been fixing some of the car's machinery, and was leaning well forward, and at a short turn, he was hurled over and over out of the car. He waa found much scratched and bruised, but no bones were broken. These were the most serious of the day's accidents and gave the crowd its thrills. Hemery, of the French team, in the meantime had come well to the front and from the seventh round on to the end there was pretty racing be tween him and Heath. They went through Lakevllle fighting for the lead. The fact that Hemery started three minutes later than Heath seemed at this point, barring accidents, to make the race surely hi. Hemery passed Hyde Park ahead of Heath. Now ev ery one leaned over the stands and strained his eyes down, the road for the first glimpse of the winner. Hemery waa first to flash Into view, dashing across the line at 10:52:08 elapsed time for the entire race 4:36:08. The occupants of the stands held .their breath until the cars flew through. Scarcely a cheer- sounded until . they were well down the road. Then the spectators shouted themselves hoarse. PARTLY CLOUDY. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON. Ort. 14.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 14. The run on the German bank, which began yes tcrday afternoon, supposedly on the publication of a story two days ago in a newspaper, was resumed this morn lug, but it Is believed the excitement will pass with the day as the impreg nability of the institution is realized. Moat of those who are withdrawing their money are the poorer classes, who have not taken the trouble to investi gate the story upon which the run Is grounded. At the bank it was stated that every depositor who wanted his money might have it for the asking. A celuring house commission, com posed of five of the leading bankers of the city, which last night counted the cash and securities of the Germanla and Investigated Its affairs, published Its statement today. It .pledges the full support of the clearing house banks and says: "We find the bank Is deserving of the confidence it has always enjoyed; that Its condition is absolutely sound and that If called upon to do so it could pay every depositor every cent due and have left .for distribution among Its stockholders a surplus of $898,908." GERMANS UNEASY ABOUT ENGLAND Sausage Eaters Believe That John Bull Means to do . Something "Real Mean" (By Associated Press.) ' BERLIN, Oct. 14. The disclosures In France of alleged British offers of alli ance aigainst Germany are so thorough ly believed here that the powerful naval league with its 600,000 members, and all the apparatus of agitation Is al ready moving for a new naval program that shall furthers increase Germany's defensive resources against Great Brit ain. Popular distrust of Great Britain has naturally swollen to great .proportions and the semi-official denials in London cannot overcome the convictions now fornied that Germany had a narrow escape from a war In which, although she would be victorious on land, would have resulted In her being crushed at sea, and damaged along the coast with the coesnquent destruction of her over sea commerce. iThe events of the last four months ihave silenced the opponents of a naval increase except the socialists and radi cals. While time and money resources would be necessary to equal Great Britain's present navy, not to speak of her future buildings, yet the feeling is that Germany must for defensive rea sons build as many more ships as the country's finances will bear.
