RACE OF THE DAY.
Running Which Never Has Been
EquaIed at Hamline.

The fourth race was for twO-year-
olds, the winner to be sold for $500,
and those entered for less were allowed
one pound for each 5000 down to $1,000;
then one pound for each 500 down to
$1,000: and then two pounds for each
horse down to $500. 1t was for half
mile. Frances, Hamline and Outcraft
were entered with a selling price of
$500. Miss Schemer for $500, and Settee
for 500. This gave the latter but 80
pounds, while 0utcraft and Hamline
had to carry IA pounds more, and
Frances II pounds. The weight ap-
peared to cut some figure with the
Youngsters. and Wiedeman, the owner
of Settee, was wise enough to appreci |" te
the fact.
1t was a sensational race from start
to finish. The youngsters acted badly
at the lost, and it was fully fifteen
minutes before they were sent away.
First Miss Schemer danced around and
refused to take her right station; then
Gutcraft's blood got warmed up and he
sprang to the front with eager Zest, and
all save Hamline kept up this sort of
performance to the evaporation of the
spectators, who were shivering in their
July attire under an October wind.
The last betting was: Francis, to
l and even for place; Hamline,
s to and to for place;
Outcraft, to l and even for place;
Settle, to and to for place; Miss
Schemer, 10 to l and to for place.
Frances seemed to be the tip, and she
was played pretty strong, and quite a
bit of money was placed on Outcraft.

few smart ones who picked Settee for
a winner, and no one seemed to care to
venture Miss Schemer, despite her
''tOXy" name.
Frances got trif1ing disadvantage In
the send-Off. but he soon dashed up into
the thickest of the fray. 1t was that
beautiful chestnut, Outcraft, that was
determined not to get the worst of it,
and he was quickly in the lead and he
set fast pace down around the turn,
bringing the others, Settee second, Miss
Schemer third and Hamline, scarcely a
neck behind. 1t was a driving battle.
The jockeys used their whips from the
head of the stretch. Settee, with her
light weight, dashed to the front and
was steadily drawing away from the
field when Outcraft darted to the
center of the track and with superb
burst of speed began to close up the
gap. On the inside came Hamline like
a flash, and a more exciting nor more
uncertain finish has never been wit
messed on this track. Before the wire
was reached it was neck and neck in
order, Settee, Outcraft, Hamline, and the
admirers of each split their throats
cheering their favorites on to the goal.
Outcraft was gaining, and the cry,
"Outcraftr' "0utcraft, you beauty"
reverberated through the grand stand,
but the judges gave the race to Settee,

EXILED TO SIBERIA.
An Omaha Citizen Fares Hard in
Russia.

OMAHA, Neb., July 24.-According to
letter received here by Abe GOldstein,
a well-known citizen, S. Gerber, who
has lived in Omaha for the past five
years, has been exiled to Siberia
by the Russian authorities. Gerber
went last March to Myszyuca, near the
German frontier. his native town in PO-
land, for the purpose of returning with
his family, who had remained in the old
country. His appearance in the little
town excited suspicion, and his arrival
soon reached the ears of the authorities.
Fearing arrest by the minlOns of the
autocrat of all the RuSsiaS. Gerber fed
across the frontier into neighboring
German province.
Events proved that his fears wer
we'll founded. A demand was made
upon the authorities of the German
town in which Gerber had taken refuge,
and he was turned over to the emissar
les of the cZar, who took him in chains
to Myszyuca, where he was tired on
the charge of running away to
America. Gerber claimed to be a
citizen of the United States, and
showed papers proving that he was a
naturalized citizen, but in spite OF this
he was sentenced to Imprisonment for
one year in jail at Lomsey. the capital
of the province, and afterwards to be
banished to Siberia for five years and
his property to be cOnfscated. Gerber
was reported to be we'll provided with
this worlds goods and had intended to
return to Omaha with his family and set
up in business.

GREAT DAYS SPORT
offered to Visitors at the Races
This Afternoon.


The card for to-day is the best that
has been presented during the meeting.
The Hamline stakes bring out the crack
three-year-oldso of the Western turf so
lmpartially handicapped that the race
seems open to any one of the six start
ers. DOnateilO, for his splendid per-
formance in the Derby, is made to carry
top weight, but his enthusiastic adj
mirerS were betting even money and
small odds in the pool rooms last
night that he would beat the field.
With 127 pounds up, however, it is
hardly probable that he will have an
easy thing in beating Dundee with III
pounds, who ran second to BrookwOOd
in the Hawthorne Derby and second
again in the great race ifere Wednes-
day. Then there Is LodOwic, the dark
one from California, neatly construct
ed fellow who showed well at the Wash
ington Park meeting; Jugurtha, an
other Californian and an easy winner
yesterday, carrying only 115 pounds;
Pomfret, the coal black pride
of Bill Letcher's Kentucky stables,
and Hagen, who made his record at
both the Chicago tracks and is in per-
feet condition iOr his best effort, The
stakes are worth about $4,000 to the
winner, of which $1,000 is adde0 by the
Jockey club.
OF the first race, in which dozen
maidens meet, but little can be said,
although it promises some good sport.
Hispania is fast one, having run sec
ond to Nellie Pearl on Wednesday in
fast time. The sister of Blarneystone,
Comether, will also be well supported.
The second, a selling event for a mile
and hundred yards, brings together
DOllikens, Topstone, Pat Conley, Le-
moine II, who won handicap stakes in
the race of her life at LatOnia, carrying
next to top weight, and other good ones.
On past performances DOlllkenS ought
to be favOrite. but her race Thursday,
when she failed to show, indicates that
she is not at her best. Pat Conley has
been running well. and is in at light
weight, carrying only 96 pounds. Fred
Foster thinks his Polemus has chance,
and he will probably get long odds.
There appears to be nothing in the
ditiOn to Senator O'Brien's stables, if he
runs as we'll as ne did yesterday. He is
in fine form. COrrine Kinney is entered
light. and Hopeful is liked by same, but
the second choice will probably be Min
ME Elkirs, a Western product, who cap
tured the Denver Derby. The last race.
mile and an eighth, will bring out
Yale '91, who has won more purses than
any three-year-old on the turf this sea-
son, with Letcher's Harry Ray, the good
filly Little Annie, Getaway, and more
properly handicapped to run to close
finish.
Each of the five events are well filed,
and the betting ought to be lively
enough to suit the mostcapricious book
maker. 1t will be great days sport.

ITALIANS IN DANGER.
Lumbermen Threaten to Make Il
Hot for Them.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 24.-Glen Hazel,
a pretty little numbering hamlet, four
teen miles from Ridgway, Elk county,
may soon be the scene of race war
that will create as great furore
in diplomatic circles as the FAM
Gus Italian episode at New Orleans.
During a drunken row between lumber
men and Italians employed in grading
an extension of the New York. Lake
Erie and Western railroad, Horace
Fisher, a jObber, was fatally stabbed i'll
the abdomen by Paolo PassuZZi. The
latter then made his escape to the
Italian camp and has not yet been cap
Iured, although the county commits
sioners have offered a reward of $500
for the apprehension of the murderer.
Soon after the murder the Italians at
Glen Hazel flung the national flag of
Italy to tine breeze, and boaStfully de-
fed arrest.
The woodsmen then began to talk of
shooting every dago in the town. Their
blood is at fever heat, and they are de-
termined that the brutal murder of their
companion shall be avenged. They
have consulted among themselves what
they will do in retaliation, and the re-
suit of their councils has been conveyed
to the leader of the Italian band. They
have served a notice on him. giving him
five DAYS to deliver the body of Passuzzi,
the murderer of Fisher. If he shall not
be placed behind the bars of the county
Jail at Ridgway at the expiration of that
time, every Italian is to be driven out
of the county at the point of Winchester
rifles.
The dagoes are terribly frightened at
the way things are looking, and have
notified the Italian consul at Philadel-
phia of their danger. The consul
opened communication with District At
torney Ernest j. WINNER, demanding
protection for Italy's subjects. In answ-
er to the consul's letter, the district
attorney wrote him that he had better
advise Italy's subjects to deliver up the
murderer. The consul sent two men
here to quietly look into the matter, and
they were in the city to-day. There are
at least 5000 woodsmen in ELK county,
and they are unit in demanding repa-
ration for this crime. 1t now looks as
though a conflict between the Italians
and the woodsmen is inevitable.

public has found himself confronted
with the statutes of prohibition. If al
coholic stimulants are prescribed, and
he fills such prescriptions, his legal
place of residence is the county Jail;
and, in addition thereto, his pocketbook
could be legally muleted of handsome

"Prohibition, he said, "after nearly
half century's trial in Maine, has
proved a moral, political, demi-religious
fraud, Originally enacted from the best
motives as a sovereign remedy for in
temperance, its empiricism has been
fully demonstrated. 1t has grown like
fungus on the body polite, stimulated
by combination of dark lantern socle-
ties, with demagogy. fanaticism, polit-
ical intimidation and intolerance of in
dividual rights. 1t has shown total in
adequacy for its avowed purpose of
promoting real temperance and good
morals. 1t is a miscarried effort to
legislate the kingdom of God into the
heart of man by indirectiOn, inaSmuch
as it places an act not crime itself in
the same category with the worst
crimes" -"

A CRY FOR HELP.
North Dakota Farmers Want Men
for Harvesting.

IOf harvesting.
Special to the Globe.
JAMESTOWN, n. D.. July 24.-There
are continued complaints from farmers
in this part of the state about scarcity
OF farm laborers. What men have ap-
peared are of an undesirable kind, be-
ing mostly confirmed tramps who, de-
mand excessive wages. Great need Is
felt here for hands in the hay field, but
few are to be had. Farmers are willing
to pay from S25 to $50 month and
board for help through the season, be-
ginning now. but men seem to think any
price will be paid if they hold out for it.
and refuse to engage their services. The
straw will be very heavy and extra labor
will be needed to secure the crop, both
in harvesting and threshing. Farmers
are looking to Eastern parties, the news
papers aud railroads to make known
generally that large crop will give
several months employment i'll North
Dakota at fair wages to an army Of
men. Unless sufficient help is secured
from some source, large portion of the
crop is likely to suffer by neglect. The
cool weather and late season will make
a late harvest, and the prospect that all
of the grain will be ripening about the
same time compllcates the situation,
and makes all unprecedented rush in
the harvest almost certainty.

a father. He was secure from arrest,
for no one knew of his crime, but in a
moment of evil passion he killed
another fellow being, and the highway
of misfortune was opened to him.
When he went to prison to serve out
his fve-year sentence he placed his
wife and child in the care of his cousin.
This cousin taught the young wife to
forget her husband, and two children
were born who were not Melchianda's.
AS the time approached for Melchianda's
release from prison the cousin who
had betrayed his trust. fearful of
his life, betrayed his mistress
husband to the authorities. AS con-
sequence Melchianna was at once taken
from prison and brought before the
Uuited States authorities without OBJ
tanning even so much as glimpse Of
his family.
1t is said that some friends who visited
Melchianda in prison to-day told him OF
his cousins pertidy and that the indi-
vidual's life is not safer now than it
would be if Melchianda was free.

A Wisconsin Postmaster Short
Over $4,000.

MADISON, Wis, July 24.-United
States Marshal Main and Post Of
flee Inspector Pulsifer arrested
Christian II. Halverson. postmaster
at Mondovi, to-day. The postoffice
was inspected last Saturday, and
HaIverson's accounts were found
to be s2,116 short. His sureties
placed w. l.. Hauser, editor of the
Mondovi Herald, in charge of the Office.
After HalversOn's arrest Pulsifer
searched his premises and found 1923
in bureau drawer, and the inspector
is firmly of the opinion that Halverson
intended to leave for parts unknown in
the near future. Halverson gives no
explanation of what he did with
the pilfered money. but it is
known that he liquidated personal
debts with it. Halverson will be ex-
amined at this place tomorrow, but he
will waive examination and endeavor to
get bonds. The people of Mondovi
have no sympathy with him, but pity
his wife and seven little children.
Hauser will probably be appointed post
master in Halverson's place.
