REFUSES TO ACCEPT
REDER'S RESIGNATION
Mayor Ball Declines to Drop
Proceedings or Listen to
Compromise Offers
Mayor Ball Is authority for tho
statement that a proposition had been
roado to him that Alderman Ileder
would resign from the city council
and leavo tno city it tho charges
against him (Reder) wero dropped.
Mayor Dall said he had declined to
consider the proposition.
Tho city council made another
abortive attempt to got together last
ovenlng on tho city hall proposition.
Tho meeting was hnlf' In response to
a call signed by members of both fac-
tions and this led to the hope that an
agreement would be reached. A mo-
tion to reconsider tho vote by which
tho Foucart plans was lost however
by a vote of 4 to 5 whloh demonstrat-
ed that each taction was as determin
ed as ever. Tho mayor and members
consumed a lot ot talk for tho evident
purpose of impressing the public that
each and every one was acting sololy
for the host interests of the people
and then the meeting adjourned.

Mr. Frost is an actlvo buslnoss mnn
ot Fort Scott. He built tho large gas
works there. Mr. Frost Is greatly
Impressed with Oklahoma.
"Tho possiollltleb of this country
are unlimited" said Mr. FrosL "A
gas plant in Guthrie will do well I
feol confident. My Idea Is to form a
stock company and give local capital
a chanco to enjoy the dividends with
mo. Owing to tho late strikes pip-
ing can not now bo bought but I be-
lieve I shall bo enabled to got onough
matorial to begin actlvo work within

the ordlnanco No.' 503."
Mr. Frost will return to Fort Scott
tomorrow an" thon go East to Inves
tlgato tho iron output in tho various
plants. Mr. Frort is a congonial man
and will certainly provo a valuable
acquisition to tho Capital City.

Shamrock 'Defeated in Magnificent
and Blood Stirring Race
By Associated Press.
New York Oct. 3. The Columbia
detested tho Shamrock In today's
race over a triangular course of thir
ty mile. There will bo another race
tomorrow.
New York Oct. 3. It looked early
this morning as If Sir Thomas Lip-
ton's wish for a strong off-shoro
breeze and amouth sen had been
granted. At 8 o'clock n grand 81-
knot breoto was blowing straight out
of the northwest and tho Bun ducroaB-
od so thero was scarcely any surf
nlong the Jorsoy shoro. Coastora
from tho harbor ran rapidly down tho
Jersey shore nnd some of the fast
sfoamors going southerly had the
smoko from tholr stacks blown fnr
out ahoad of them. But tho soa was
beautifully smooth thero boing senrco-
ly moro than a rlpplo brooking on tho
shoro while tho vossols out to son
Btood Btundlly ulong with very llttlo
roll.
Tho conditions of wind and waior
In ghort woro Ideal and promised a
rnri day's race botwoon tho two big
yaohU.
Upton was out onrly and rubbed his
hands with gloe.
"This Ib what we want" ho said.
"If It holiis wo will havo a good raco.
The Shamrock should do well today.
True Mr. Morgan says the Columbia
wants wind but so do wo. If tho
breeze kosps up wo will have a fair
test of the two boats.1'
The captains nnd crows of both
yachts bronkfastcd oarly and Boon
after 7 o'clock they were on bonrd of
tholr respective boats. The Columbia's
stay rail and Jib wore sent up In
stops. Fliteon mlnuten later tho
(Shamrock's wore sont up.
"Wo shall hnev a good breeze nil
dny" said Captain Sycnmoro "and
this will hi more like Shamrook
weather."
Captain Barr said: "This Is good.
I think wo will sail a fast raco to-
day." The Columbia took a line from hor
tug nt 8:46 nnd started out ot the
Horseshoe the Shamrock following
five mlnutoD later. The Columbia
rounded tho Hook undor tow nnd
stnrted for the line. The Sham."ik
also wont around under tow.
The signal Is set for a triangular
course flrat log east halt south; sec-
ond leg southwest half south; third
leg north northwest.
When the steamer Victor arrived
nt the Hook with the guests ot Sir
Thomas Llpton they had an exciting
time In being transferred In small
launches from the transport to the
yacht-Brlu. The sea was choppy and
the small boats were tossed about In
a threatening manner.
Maneuvering For Start.
The SJmmrock was first to drop her
tow. At tali post ten she broke out
her Jib and swinging away on the
i port tack wore around with a grand
heel on. The Columbia soon followed
suit and both yachts behaved mag-
nlncently in the splendid breeze. The
Shamrock was standing off and
around Uie lightship while the Col-
umbia nearly a mile away was head-
ing toward the starting line. She
carea rapidly up however and when
the preparatory gun was flrod was
maneuvering back of the line. The
course indicated by the committer
made the first leg a rather close reach
oa the port task the sectind a broader
readi and the third leg it dead beat
to the finish.
The starting gun was fired on the
dot at eve! en o'clock and the appar-
ent advantage lay entirely with the
British skipper.
Just before the start he sent the
Shamrock swinging around the com-
mittee boat cutting in between It and
the Columbia. The latter being un-
der the Shamrock's lee apparently
deelded not to cross In that position
but wore around again.
Shamrock Crosses Line First.
At 11:01 they got away the Minm-
rock crossing Jhe line first. Th. Col-
umbia Is staggering along under a.
stiff bre. e; the Shamrock norms to
stand up Latter and Is ahoad.
11:25 The yachts havo roverod
nearly half the distance to tho nrat
mark. Both are holding the flno
wind and the Columbia seems to bo
slightly decrenimg tho Shamrock'a
lead. The racera were well out to tho
lightship botoro tho vanguard of tho
gront oxcurslon fleet stnrtod doa
through tho Narrows olosoly follow-
ed by picturesque white yachts nnd
miscellaneous crafts.
Holding" tight to his ndvnntago whon
tho gun was Hrod Captain Samoro
sont tho Shamrock ncross tho lino al-
most befora tho Btlff wind could
swoop tho powder Bnuoko away tho
Columbia being considerably behind.
After crossing both ynohts wont on
a close roach for tho first mark fair-
ly toavlng through tho wnlor and
throwing groat fountains ot .spray
from undor tholr bow.
The official tlmo In crossing tho
line was:
Shamrock 11:00:18.
Columbia. 11:01:47.
A BloorJ Stirring Race
It was it magnlficont nnd blood stir
ring race to tho first mark.
The paco was terrific and It was Im-
possible to detormlno when half of tho
first log had boon sailed whothur or
not tho Shamrock was maintaining
tho lend she gained when thoy cross-
ed the lino. Both are carrying tho
same sails. IDvery yard of oanvna
piled abovo the flying hulls ot tho
racers was at hord as a board. Tho
crews were II nod up under tho wind-
ward roll while off to tho leeward tho
spray from undor tho bows of tho
yachts were swopt In clpuds by tho
Increasing winds. Thoy 111 tod the first
turn ns though tho stako boat Itself
was coming to moot them tho Sham-
rock still holding hor big load.
Tho Shamrock turned the first mark
uL 11:51:00 and strotohed out for tha
roach to tho sooond mark.
The Columbia followed her around
at 11:62:17.
Both swept away on the starboard
tack the Sliarnroek leading by about
a quart t to a third of a mllo.
Columbia Crawls Up.
The second lag ot the re lost
nothing In oxcltlng Interest 7 ho
wind held strong and true and attor
rounding the "ark t!i racers main-
tained their terrific speed making no
cu -to In the sails. As In the first
U.r as mere guess work at first
whether ollher boat had gained or
lost. When about half of the second
log had been covered it seemed how-
over as if the American beat had
managed to slightly crawl up on her
fast sailing opponent.
In close reach to the first mark the
Columbia had gained on the visitor;
she gained on the broader reach to
the second mark and when they be-
gan tils' exciting beat home she a to
her way into the wind in a manner
that her rival could not approach. Ait
they worked up the wind the glimmer-
ing browse null of the Brltlvh boat
was gliding further and further to
leeward and astern.
At 157 both yachts went about on
the Btarboa:-(l Ufk and headed for
the llnluh the Columbia having a safo
Uad of about a quarter ut a mile.
The race waa over then Nothing
could head bar. With every inch of
her beau tlful "sails drawing and the
spray flying from under her bow tho
great white American yaht roused
the llu nearly two minutes ahead ot
the Shamrock.
Thr. official time of the finish waa:
Columbia 2:15:05.
Shamrock X1:2S.
It will thus be en that with the
forty-three seconds which the Sham-
rock must allow the Columbia the lat-
ter wins by three minutes and thirty-
Ave seconds in the thirty mile race.
