CAPTAIN uOWGATE
On Trial Again-The Charge is Forgery and
 Embsgzlenent

Washington, June 10.-The second trial of Capt. Henry w. Howgate began in the criminal court today, Judge Me- Comes presiding. The indictment which he is now called up to answer charges him with forgery and embezzlement in connection With his services as disburs- ing officer of the weather bureau some sixteen years ago. The court ordered the formal consideration of the two cases pending, one for forgery and the other for presenting false certificates. The work of selecting a jury occupied an hour and a half. It was carefully watched hy both sides, the elieible jurors being lnterrogateo in tho tasN@sl ssla, g.ger. After the jury was empanelef IAstsias Attorney Birney opened for the goyefa- ment, explaining the charges against Captain Howgate in detail and recla1g what he expected to prove.
 Captain Howgate had arrived before the court convened accompanied " hir attorneys and his ever faithful daughter.
 On the face Of the papers District At. torney Birney said the transactions Of DisbursinE Officer Hovgate appeared to be perfectly regular but he expected to show that the transactions were ir- regular and fraudulent; that he could not plead the statute of limitations be- cause he had been a fugitive from jus tice and the statute did not apply in his behalf.
 Mir. Wor;hngton, following MT. Bir- ney in behalf of Mir Howgate, said It would appear very plainly in the evil dencc that his client was not a fugitive from justice, but that he was permitted to leave the district after lying in jail six months seeking in vain for a trial, because the powers in the government did not want him tried. and that no ef- fort was ever made to discover him by United Stotes official and he was only apprehenGed by an eS-government of ficial shortly after the latter had gone out of service.

has had its ups and downs, but for the
past four years there has been no break
In its progress upward.
The three quarter century mark will be
observed the coming September, when the
seventy fifth annual exposition will be
held for six days and six evenings begin
ming on the 10th. With the prestige OF the
great fair and the preparation now In
progress it Is safe Co assume that the fair
will beat it's own best record, and that
means the largest exposition given any
where the country over.
The basis of the remarkable success OF
the Rhode Island fair has undoubtedly
been its race track. Horse racing Is prob
ably the leading feature at nearly all fairs
that are held today or that have been held
since tho first county fair was invented. :.
II happens with tho Rhode Island state
fair that the present fair grounds, the
grounds that have been used for over
quarter of century were built FOR racing
purposes Narragansett park Is famous rs
ono of the leading horse racing grounds
in the country. Its establishment and tho
building Of its magnificent track marked
the epoch of the reorganization or trot-
ting interests into their present shape and
the birth Of the National Trotting associa-
ton. The track built at that time was
laid out regardless OF expenses no skill or
money was spared to NIKE 1t as nearly a
perfect course as tho world could afford
And, although Narragansett park as a
business investment has had its vicissi-
tudes and has changed hands frequently,
its splendid race course has fortunately
mover been neglected but has been main
tained and kept in tune until it stands to-
day, as il did over quarter of a century
ago, the peer of any track in the country.
The Rhode Island state fair now owns
this property, and its expositions have
