NH|TNEY'S REASONS
Does Not Like English Attitude
 Towards His Race Horses.

Impartiality Is No Longer Shown in
 the Big Race Track Events Ameri-
 can Horses Have Been Too Heavily
 Handicapped-Oth Horse Owners
 May Follow SIr Whitney's Lead.
 London, Sept 24.-The announced re. tlement of William c. Whitney from the English turf occasions regret out hardly surprises those who have noted fhe recent trend of events. There is 3 Widespread feeling that behind Mir Whltneys 5 professed reasons for lis withdrawal is the realization of the Tact that the attitude of the British turf authorities towards Americans is no longer marked by the absolute inl- partiality which characterized their dealings prior to the pre-eminence of American owners, horses, trainers and Jockles. During the recent seasons complaints have been frequent that tine American horses were too heavily handicapped, that the jocllies were hafshly treated, and that interferenceS during the races were whiteWashed, which would not have been tolerated on the part of American jockeys. It will cause no surprise if other Ameri- cans Of Mr Whitney's class follow the latter's example, which, it is noted, came closely after the receipt of a de tailed report of the treatment accorded to Volodyoyski in the St Ledger. The Daily Telegraph remarks that Mir Whitney's decision must have been reached very suddenly, seeing that only on September IT MT Whitney nominated yearlings for the races of 1904 and 1905 The Telegraph adds:
 Some American owners have not made themselves acceptable to this country, but AIr Whitney is one of the exceptions that go to prove the rule"

Y.. small place just outside of Buffalo, attempted to commit suicide by leaping into the up per rapids, a short distance back from the American Falls. last evening, at about o'clock. The point where she entered the water is at the foot of Falls street an the. .state reservation. She took off her hat and jacket and placed them on bundle of clothing she car ried. Then going to the waters edge she plunged into the current, which there runs frightfully swift. In q sec ond she was being swept toward the brink of the American Falls, not over 800 feet away.
 In floating down stream the current threw her toward shore and q reserya- tion policeman saw her. Leaning out over the river as far as he could, he grabbed her clothing. and in another minute he pulled her from the river and saved her from death.

floor the same one who fired that shot?'' asked Mr Penney.

asked MT Genney.
 "Yes,'' answered the witness.
 Cross-examined by Judge Titus, MT Rice said there was no one between him and the president to obstruct his view.
 Were there officers on both sides of the line of the people?"
 Yes"
 This concluded Mir Rice's testimony and James L. Quackenbush, another member of the reception committee, was called to the stand.
 ..rell us what you know,'' said Dis trict Attorney Penney.
 II was standing at MT Rice's right, directly opposite the president be- gan Mir Quackenbush. Just before the shots were fired I noticed this man (the prisoner) lift something white. Immediately there were two shots. Then the artillerymen who had been standing behind the president, plung- ed forward, as also did Secret Service Officer Gallagher. The prisoner was borne to the floor. Secret service men, Officers Ireland and Foster, were also in the groupe scrambling on the floor about the defendant.
 " llIlcSS WAS SlCHh q photo of the interior of the building and indicated the points referred to ill his testimony. In describing the scene at the police station after Czolgosz was taken there, said that the accused was not upbraided in any way. He took lively interest in all that was go- ing on and when he was asked for a statement he wrote out the following: ''I killed President Mckinley because 1 done my duty. 1 don't believe any man should have so much service and another man none" This he signed. Afterwards he made q statement of two hours duration and at times the information he volunteered and went beyond a responsive answer. He was absolutely willing to answer questions and was free in all his replies. He further said that he was alone in the crime, that he planned and carried it out alone and was willing to take the consequences. He believed every king, emperor, president and every other head of a government to be a tyrant and they should be put out of the way John Branch, a colored em- ploye of the exposition, was the last witness before recess at noon.
 Detective Gallagher introduced the handkerchief in evidence that was around the hand of CzolgOsz when he fired the two shots. 1t was dirty and stained with blood, there was a large hole in it and one corner was torn. Private Francis P.O'Brien of the Unit ed States artillery corps testified as to his duties on the day in question and his connection with the arrest of Czol- gosz. The peoples case concluded with the testimony of Superintendent Bull.
 Counsel for the defense then arose and said they had no evidence to intro duce, and all they asked was to be all lowed to address the jury. This was granted them, and the arguments Legan at 5 o'clock.

 Chicago. Sept 24-American race horses with speed records are being taken to Russia. where they are en- tered in stake races as native animals, to the dismay of the Russian track officials and the Russian packers of other horses.

Thus far evidence has been secured going to prove that two hroses, one from Indiana and one from Minnesota. have been raced as Rus sian animals and have won about $12,- 900 in purses besides q sum many times that in bets for their owners and their friends.
 Baron i. 4. Schlippenbach, the Rus sian consul in Chicago, is gathering evidence for the prosecution of the owners of the two American animals, who are under arrest in Moscow. He has just returned from Indiana. He will go to Minneapolis in q few days to take depositions ill that city.
 Baron Schlippenbach, in speaking about the matter. said: 'The discOY- cry was made by q horse shoer from Indianapolis now employed in the royal stables in Moscow. Before the discovery the horses were under sus- picion. owing to their remarkable per- fOrmances. It is rather a new thing in Russia, and as far as know few people over there know what ''ring- CTS" are. It was unique scheme. I am in doubt whether or not there is a specific law covering the cases, but rhnSn n 1lg cf.I4n Isn, 4.,I on the general charge of conspiring to defraud''

MISS o'NEILL WON HER CASE.
And Restored the Heffernan Child to it's
 1iother.

Miss Susan c. O'Neill made her de- but as an attorney in the Hartford su- perior court yesterday, representing Mrs Margaret Hefferman of Bristol in ha- beaS corpus proceedings against Mr and Mrs James Heffernan of Harwin- ton, to show cause why her 2-year-old child was illegally detained by thenl William Heffernan, the husband of the plaintiff, appeared as defendant. lief fernan claimed that his wife ill-treated the child, while its mother claimed that she was not able to dO so, or even to care for iI, being too ill. However, Heffernan had the child removed to his parents home in Harwinton and de- tained it there until week ago He refused to give up the child to the mother, and his lawyer supported him in this stand on the generally accepted grounds that the father is the legal custodian of his minor child. Miss O'Neill held different view of tho case and few days ago had writ of habeas corpus issued. Thus armed. she went to the Heffernans' home in .Harwinton and forcibly secured pos session of the child. This unusual pro- ceeding caused great commotion in the town. The fathers parents pursued Miss O'Neill down the road for quite distance, increasing the cOmmotion the while. However, the child was safe that evening with it's mother. Yester- day in court Miss O'Neill showed theop posing lawyer that the last legislature passed law yesting equal rights to the custody of minor children in both par ents, and Judge Prentice decided the case in favor of Miss O'Neill and the child's mother.
