LUCK AT THE RACES,
How the Experts Were Beaten by the
Superstiti0us Man.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Last Monday party of New Orleans
business men from one of the uptown office
buildings went out to see the races With
one exception they all knew more or less
about form and ''handicappfng and the
trip to the grounds was enlivened by an
animated discussion on the relative merits
of the flyers. The exception was a quiet
gentleman, who frankly admitted that he
was totally ignorant of turf matters and
knew no more of the intricacies of book
betting than a Hottentot knows of pink
teas. His friends received this confession
with rather scornful sympathy and advised
him not to monkey with the pool box When
they reached the grounds they found the
second race about to be run, and while
Lygia was the favorite, hot tip had gone
around on Miss Maytime ridden by O'Con-
nor. The wise men in the party consulted
their form cards, did little swift figuring
on the handicap, and concluded that the lid
was reliable She can't lose unless she
gets struck by lightning declared the chief
aStfoloSer OF the crowd and they proceed
ed to invest in Miss Maytime tickets at

and when the race was called they fairIv
yelled, for Elmer s., instead of getting off
with the others, turned around and ran
away.
Now you see,'' said one of the EXPERTS
how foolish it is to bet your money on
mere caprice. No man has any business
around the pool box unless he Possesses
some accurate, scientific knowledge of the
game While he was talking the starter

Trial was begun this afternoon before
il stice Cole and a jury in Criminal Court
No. of the case of Peter Holmes, colored
indicted for manslaughter in connection
with the death of Margaret Scott, also COL
ored, the Goth of last August. No difficulty

sistant District Attorney Joseph Shillington
appears for the government, Mr.. Samuel D.
Fruit representing the defendant.
In his opening address to the jury the as
sistant district attorney explained that
manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a
human being without malice. He went on
to say that about the middle Of last All
gust Margaret Scott, who lived in Phillips
court which is located south of Pennsyl
vania avenue between oath and 18th streets
was taken sick A physician was called to
attend her. and pronounced her suffering
with lung trouble.
A few days after the death of the wo-
man, which occurred the Goth of August,
the police received Information that about
the LIST of August Margaret had been
struck with a stone, thrown by Peter
Holmes. The coroner directed that the
body be disinterr9d This was done the
26th of August. 1t was taken to the
morgue, where an autopsy was performed
by DR.. Sterling Ruftin. The surgeon found
blood clot on the left side of the head.
1t had been there three four weeks,
from all appearances, and, in the opinion
of the surgeon, death was due to meniu-
gifts, superinducad by cerebral pressure.
The other organs of the body were found
to be in a perfectly normal condition.
+ Assistant District Attorney Shillington,
continuing, declared that he expected to
show that the woman died from hemor-
rhage, the result of a blow inflicted by
Holmes; also that about the 1st of August

for the government His testimony was in
keeping with the declarations of the as
slstant district attorney to the jury.
The trial was in progress when this re-
port closed.

posed building. Today Commissioner Ross
suggested to his associates that tina whole
matter should remain in allegiance until
Congress shall have made an appropriation
for the building and land.
ut seems to me-" he stated, that in
the absence of authority from Congress to
purchase a new site for the first precinct
station house, a discussion of the location
is somewhat premature. On many ac
counts a relocation of this station south
of the avenue, provided a good foundation
can be obtained for the building, would
be highly desirable. Such an institution
acts as a civilizer' and tends to repress
lawlessness. / respectfully suggest that an
appropriate answer to this communication

FOR INDEPENDENT FIIIPINOS
Senator Turner Speaks on the Vest Anti
Expansion Resolution,
Wants to Return to the 'WisdOm of
the Fathers"-OppOsed
to Annexation.

In accordance with notice given a day or
wo ago, Mr.. Turner (Wash.) addressed the
Senate today on the anti-expansion resolu-
ton of Mr.. Vest (Mo). In beginning, Mr.
Turner pictured the storms which the gal
liant ship of state had encountered, and con-
cluded the figure with the statement that,
Notwithstanding the trials it had under
gone. it had weathered them all thus far
and had brought into port it's precious
freight OF liberty and nationality. The
builders of the vessel, he said, We're wise
beyond their day and generation. Now,
however, the noble craft, its chart having
been torn to tatters. was drifting whittier
she would on a wild and unknown sea.
This dangerous condition was being forced
upon the ship by the pretense that Provi-
dence has cast upon US new responsibilities
which we may not shirk." He could not
agree, however that this dangerous re-
sponsibility was one for the American peo-
pie to assume.

The Presidents Position.

Mr.. Turner adverted 10 the statement of
Mr.. Foraker a few days ago that It was
not the purpose of the United States to re-
tain the Philippines permanently, but, he
said, he was forced to differ with the Ohio
senator, because he found in the treaty
which had been negotiated under the di-
reCtion of the President evidence of such
a character that it must override the opin-
ion of the distinguished senator from Ohio"
He referred to that part of the treaty he
said which made not only a ceSsion to this
country of sovereignty over the Philippines
but an acceptance by us of that sovereign
ty. 1t was impossible to forget, too that
the treaty was negotiated in the midst of
clamor FOR an extension of our dominionS.
As further proof of his position Mr. Turner
referred to the Presidents speech at At
lanta in which ne asked: who is there
that will dare to haul down the American
flag from the soil upon which it has once
been planted?' He said the President had
made the Gaming of the administration too
plain for controversy.
Mr.. Turner, after referring to the speeches
of Mr.. Plat Comm and Mr.. Foraker. en-
tered upon discussion of the constitutions
al phases of the subject, maintaining that
the resolution of Mr.. Vest was a correct
statement of principle founded upon the
work of Our fathers" He quoted extern
siVely from authorities in support of his
argument.
