TOD GA GOOD THING"
The Jockey Tells of Relations With His Former Friend,
 Dr.. Fuller

]. Tod Sloan, jockey and chum of the Prince of Wales, doesn't owe Dr. Gris- wold or anybody else S250 for medical services-at least Tod said so when un- der examination by Justice of the Peace Barry yesterday; and who would dare to question the statement of so great a parsonage?
 Some days ago Dr. Griswold, as as- signee of Dr. G. w. Fuller. began suit against the jockey to recover S250 for medical services.
 The diminutive autocrat's repudia- ton of the indebtedness was sweeping and positive. In his deposition he ad- mitted that Fuller had attended him on one occasion about three years ago, but the jockey did not place high es- timate on the value of the service ren- dered AS an offset, however, he af- fir1ned that he and the doctor were close friends; so close, in fact, that the medico came to regard him as his banker and made frequent overdrafts on his account. Before his illness, Tod stated, Dr. Fuller had borrowed S250 { one time, and some time after that oc- casion he had repaid S150 of the amount, the jockey telling him that he would consider the account squared up. After that Sloan frequently visited the doctors office, but only in friend ly way to give his friend a tip on the races, and never as patient.
 According to Sloan, the doctor at the time had several horses which Tod des- ignated as "platers," and occasionally he would ride one of them with indif- ferent success. The doctor frequently visited the track and sometimes pat ronized the books. At such times il was his custom to borrow small sums which Sloan never kept account of Their friendship continued until after Sloan went East, a year ago. The doc tor requested him to telegraph tips or Eastern races, but Sloan failed to dc so, and because of that he believed the doctor had taken offense and brought the suit.

PRINTERS MAY

Strikers Talk of StartinQ in Business on the Co-Oper-
 atiVe Plan.
The Fight Iss Still On, and Each Sid Says the Other Is Weak
 ening.

There Is no appreciable change in the situation to-day, but if anything we are gaining ground, as we have managed to secure as many printers as we want"- c. A. Murdock, president San Francisco Typothetae.
 There is no appreciable change in the situation to-day, but if anything we are gaining ground, as we have already won over one of the offices."-C. E. Hawkes., president San Francisco Typographical Union.
 These two expressions of opinion tell almost the entire story of the present status of the printers strike-each side claims to have & little advantage over the other, but it is impossible to conjec- ture what theoutcome will be, and both sides are alike chary of expressing opin- ions. The chief topic of conversation around the union headquarters yesterday was the opening of cooperative print first-class labor at our disposal" said an officer of the union yesterday "and I can see no reason why we could not make a success of such an enterprise. Some time ago we signed a contract with the label offices to throw as much work as possi- ble in their hands, provided they would reimburse us for any outlay. They have kept up to their agreement up to the be- ginning of the present difficulties, and I think we have done our share, for In the past six months we have taken over
 
 union offices and given 1t to the men who are now fighting us. If we had had an office of our own we could have done the work just as we'll ourselves, and it would have kept a great many men busy
 All the offices were running to-day, but few of them had more than half the reg ular force at work. In speaking of the strike yesterday, Grafton Phillips, of the firm of Phillips & Smythe, said "I was the first one to accede to the demands of the union. and did so after careful delib- eration. I figured that 75 per cent of the printers in the city were members of the union and if certain number of union offices accepted the nine-hour day it would only be a question of time when both union and non-union offices would naturally be working nine hours the same as they now work ten. It will be just the same as the change from a twelve to a ten-hour work day. Nine hours will be- come the accepted day instead of ten. I have larger force on now than I ever had, and as machinery which was for mery idle is now busy l think I have profited by the change. although fully expected to lose for 8 short time at least"
 A special number of the Pacific Union Printer will be issued to-day giving a plain statement of the situation, and 5000 copies will be gratuitously distributed.

Tod Sloan has departed. Tl-c petite [ 1t, who rode hi way into thu affec- tions of the ultra circles of the scions of British nobility. has left for the East, in order that the lights of jockeydom of that section of these grand United Stat may have a glimpse f him.
 Last night he established himself in an eastbound Pullman and gathered his English-looking traps about him and made himself comfortable for his long journey. He eft over the Union Pacific. He will travel as privately as it is possible for such a distinguished parsonage to do, a. only a' the way stations when the train stops for w"ter will he get off to stretch his dear little legs.
 Tod was very busy yesterday saying good-by to his many friends and laying in a stock of cigars. He purchased a box at the Palace and paid the s6 for the twenty-five cl- gars with as much sangfroid as if he were buying box of cigarettes. He examined the brand carefully, and made his choice with due regard for ldI SciIcSS Ol SlLc dliO pldShlltSS VI color.
 Dear little Tod wore a Scotch brown tweed suit, and his trousers were turned up with faultless regard for the crease. A searchlight tie and black derby, and, last but not least, a large sparkler upon the little finger of his left hand compl ted his transatlantic attire.
 Tod jingled the gold that he carried in his pocket, and occasionally flashed a handful of the yellow twenties.
 He expects +o reach New York on Saturday night, and i'll decid tween now and then where he will put up. He will appear upe1 the boulevard on Sunday afternoon and attend church in the morning.
 Tod will ride for Julius Fleischmann, while Featherstcne and Bromley have second call upC- his services. He pre- diets that Ornar~ nj will go to the post in the brooklyn handicap a favorite.

the editor evidently believing that
DR.. Steelsmith was blufling when he
said he would not stand being lied

will change his mind before he is
through with it. The doctor is not
built that way. 81 am going to Indi-
ana tonight to visit my parents"
said DR.. Steelsmith today. 81 will
return in about ten days and then
will attend to the matter through the
proper channels" He does not care
to engage in a newspaper controversy
with disreputable sheet which has
no regard for truth in its statements.

To the Editor Of the Reflector.
A sensational paper Of this town
last evening made lying attack on
Drs. Steelsmith and Anderson, alleg-
ing that we have been careless in re.
porting cases Of contagious disease to
the health officer and adding:
ut is also reported that Drs, Steel
smith 4 Anderson have cases Of
measles under treatment that they
failed either to report or quarantine
l have today informed the editor Of
that Safeguarding sheet that he
must publish retraction tonight and
he will do so or suffer for it. The
facts concerning the Williams child
are these:
DR.. Anderson was first called at
midnight Sunday at which time he
gave medicine though not having
determined positively the disease.
He called next in the morning and de-
cided that it was a contagious disease
and so reported to the health officer
Not finding DR.. Hazlett in his office
he left word with his clerk and also
left word to have Dr.. Hazlett take
charge Of the case, it properly belong
ing to the county physician. 1t was
by my direction that he requested
DR.. Hazlett to take charge Of the case
because prefer that he do not attend
infectious diseases as it might endan-
ger the life of patients In the sanitar.
ium as well as those outside patients
with whom he might come in contact.
All cases | have seen have been
promptly reported and card has
been hung on the door.
What reason the paper referred to
had for publishing falsehood of this
kind | have no means Of knowing. If

WHO sRHT IT,
Democrats Who Were Frightened
and Sent for Help.

D~-~ >~e ~
The Democrats Of this county are
not well pleased with the action Of
the Clay Center convention. The
Abilene Democrat roasts the conven.
ton and says:
The heelers got badly frightened
on the evening before the meet, and
sent frantic message to Abilene for
fusion reinfcrcements-they get 'em.
Men went to Clay Center calling
themselves Democrats who really
got frightened because there were
prospects that Democratic candidate
would be nominated. Awful, wasn't
it?
1t is said that the man who sent the
telegram has been posing as a stall
wart but added to his message: "Vin-
cent is in danger" The idea of a
Democrat being scared lest a Demo-
crat should be nominated by Demo-
cratic convention is so supremacy re.
markable as to be one Of the wonders
Of the campaign.
The fact that Dave Matteson, D. +.
Erwin, N. b. Robson and other Pops
hurried to Clay Center by the first
train shows that it meant business
and perhaps accounts for Vincent's
nomination by a packed convention.

baton and be has been heartily con-
graduated by scores Of citizens for
the same today. The editor Of the

begged with tears in his eyes to be

Steelsmith is no buffer and told the
editor to back down absolutely and ad-
nit that he had lied about Drs.
Steelsmith and Anderson or legal pro-
ceedings to teach him lesson would
be brought at once
We understand that DR.. Gish whose
professional and family record have
been besmirched called this morning
and made the editor do some begging
for mercy on his account.
For years the paper referred to has
besmirched mems and women's char
acters with falsehoods, published al
legged news verging on the indecent
and made itself stencil in the town
on the plea that it was sensational. :"
1t is very gratifying to see that it
struck one man in DR., Steelsmith on
whom Safeguarding would not work
and the town is laughing to see how
it will have to swallow its words.
