The following officers were elected today: Presi-

An important change in the rules was made,
in rule 2, providing for entries. Section now
binds the man making the entry to solid con-
tract in favor of the association. According to
the old rule there were three judges appointed,
but under this new rule these three are empow-
cred to appoint an additional person to start the
races, with full power to enforce the rules while
the horses and drivers are on the track. Rule
IS, defining the powers of the judges was
amended, giving them power to disqualify any

SPANISH ANARCHISTS CHOKED.
Their Friends Would Have Rescued


Them but for Presence of Soldiers.
MADRID, Feb l0.-The four leaders OF the an
archists who led the recent attack upon the
town of Jerez, were garroted today. The plat
form on which the men were executed was sur
rounded by detachments of infantry and cav
airy, and the route from the jail to the platform
was lined with soldiers with loaded rifles. The
execution was public, and the plaza and streets
leading to il were packed with a dense mass of
people. The names of the four men executed
were Busigni, Zarzetella, Lamala and Lebri-
jano
When the prisoners mounted the scaffold they
were accompanied by four executioners and by
priests and monks. Zarzetella was greatly ex-
cited, and his demeanor showed that he was ter
ribly frightened. but the other three culprits
were calm and resigned. The condemned men
were led to the chairs, in which the execution
ers bound them. Metal collars were then placed
around their necks. Then each eXecutioner
took his position at the back OF the posts and
grasped the powerful leverage operating the
garrotte. At a given signal each executiorer
gave sharp turn to the lever, and each con-
demned man died instantly. After the execu-
tons, though the spectators, many OF whom
were friends OF the men executed, were bitter in
their denunciation of the authorities, there
were no signs OF any disturbance and everything
in town was tranquil.
One OF the executed anarchists left letter. in
which ne sald the anarchist press takes advan-
tage OF the ignorance OF the working classes 20
inculcate theories against justice and reason.
He desired his comrades to know that the anar-
chist journals had been deceiying them, and he
was convinced that many OF those preaching the
doctrines 20 them are perfectly indifferent as TO
their fate. He advised his comrades to repudi-
ate their teachings, and TO be honest workers.
with faith in God and religion.
A collision occurred today between anarchists
and police in Barcelona number OF revolver
shots were exchanged.

sufficient to strike terror into the heart of
