WEEK OF BIG RACES.
Robert WaddelI and His Emil
nence to Meet in Chicago.

Chicago, July 1.-The third week at
Washington Park will furnish the
greatest number of stakes and handi-
caps of any week during the Chicago
racing season. The Kenwood stakes
Tuesday, Sheridan stakes the Fourth,
and the Great Western handicap and
Quickstep stakes on Saturday, with ST.
400 handicapS Tuesday and Wednesday,
and with another $1,000 added on the
Fourth, are calculated to bring to the
post the very best horses of all ages
now in training in the west
The Kenwood stakes,a "a sweepstakes for
2-year-old colts, will be the first big
event of the week. There were so NOM
nations to the stake, and among the
prominent and most likely starters are
Abe Frank, Ed Austin, I1uciene Apple
by, Jordan, Charles W. Meyer, Eddie
Busch, Waswift, Alan-a-Da1e and Pen
tecost
The Sheridan stakes, of course, will
be the big event of the week, as it will
bring together many of the Derby can
didates. Robert Wadden is sure to be
a starter. The fact that Waddell is to
meet His Eminence at 124 to 127 on His
Eminence will be a great drawing card
WINFIELD will ride His Eminence- He
has ridden him three times and won
all of the races, two of them being
derbies. As the race is a a mile and
quarter, some of the starters will be
more favored than they were in the
Derby, notable among them being
Silverdale, Sixsnooter and Lady strain

vantage in it than in the shorter dis

Sham Battle Planned For Naval Ma

New York, July 1.-The sham battle
and naval maneuvres of the North
Atlantic squadron in Vineyard sound
next Friday and Saturday will be near
" as extensive as those off Newport
last September. says a Herald dispatch
from Newport, r. L The battle ground
was selected by Rear Admiral Francis
j. H1gg1nSOn, commander n-ehief of
the North Atlantic squadron, and Cap
tain French E. Chadwick, president of
the Naval War college, a month ago.
Woods Hole will be the objective point
and Newport the base of supplies. The
flagship kearsarge, the battleships Ala
Dana and Massachusetts and the tor
pedo boat Bailey will participate. The
squadron will sail from Newport on
Friday morning and will steam at once
for Woods Hole. Naval defense mines
will be supplied to the ships from the
naval depar tment.
The Kearsarge and Alabama will each
land at Woods Hole one five inch breech

chusettS will land two torpedo chuteS,
two 3-pounders, and two 6-pounders,
and will plant four naval defense mines.
Marines of the Kearsarge and the
Alabama will be put ashore under COM
mand of Major c. A Doyen, fleet marine
officer. This equipment and this force
will hold the place against the fleet,
after q sham battle, and the passing Of
the mines by the fleet, the offensive
force will be landed from the ships and
will capture the place The sham bat
tie is intended to give opportunity for
mining countermining, signalling and
tactics that actual conflict would af-
ford. The Bailey viii attack the fleet

Superintendent Church Thinks
Insurance Will Cost More.
Kansas Department VIII Not
Oppose an Increase.
CLAIM THERE is LOSS.
Mr. Church Says Companies
Have Lost Money.
Does Not Know There Is an In
surance Trust.

Superintendent of Insurance w. v.
Church will lay nothing in the way of
an advance in insurance rates, and
rather expects that an advance will be
forthcoming from the companies soon.
Companies have been doing business at
a loss, it is claimed, for the past two
years, a. point about which people are
skeptical.
A year or two ago Governor Stanley
and Superintendent Church got the in
surance companies to announce a. low
er1ng of rates. There is talk now in
insurance circles of putting up the
rates They alege losses of from to
Is per cent
There are quite a number of COM
pantes that have done business at such
losses in the state in the past year.
said Mr. Church today. Whenever
their loss ratio gets above 60 to 65 per
cent. they are sure to be losing money.
One company that know of had q. loss
ratio of 81 per cent That is a. 20 per
cent. loss at the best calculation.
Il should not be surprised if there
was an advance in rates. There are
several of such companies"
How many2"
4 do not know the exact number,
but enough to make a problem.
when com panies are doing business
at loss one of two things must hap
pen. they will have to advance their
rates or go out of business. Kansas
Is not alone IN this respect insurance
has been carried at a loss in Oklahoma
also The application of strict financial
methods has become necessary. Insur-
ance is a business that cannot be
carried on by sentiment, especially
property risks"
Asked if the insurance trust would
probably raise the rates uniformly, Mr..
Church said:
Il do not know that there is an in
surance trust. The companies all use
inspection bureaus in common. 1t is
cheaper than for each to inspect every
risk that comes to them to write. Com
petition is strong, and rates are reg
ulated largely by it."
Competition is lively. for the records
in the state insurance department show
that there are in Kansas 9.001 licensed
insurance agents. OF this number, l.
10 are life insurance agents and 214
are accident insurance agents. The rest
represent fire insurance companies. 1t
is the largest total in the departments s
history

gation at the Jail. However, as the crowd was dispersing from the Court House, they met about fifty men who were armed with shotguns and rifles and who had not been in the Court House to hear the last report. These men proceeded to the jail where the deputy sheriff promptly opened the door for them. Three men went up stairs and brought out Belfield and Ida McCray.
 Judge Stevens, Messrs. Hill and George and other citizens begged and pleaded with them, as did Lynn Talia- ferro. the son of the murdered couple. not to kill these negroes, as they would thereby thwart the ends of justice. But 1t was all to no purpose; they were de- termined to hang them. They carried them under the hill about a quarter of a mile from town and hanged the three and then fired at least 500 shots into their bodies.
 The Governor arrived just as the mob were returning. He went to the Court House and addressed a large and sad crowd. No doubt If he could have got ten here in time he might have pre- vented the lynching. The Governor re- turned on the evening train. Jim Lane was brought in just as the mob was disperslns.
 It Is not known what further work the mob will do. There are many ru- mors afloat: some say that three or four more negroes living in the Talia- ferro neighborhood will be lynched to- night. and it is feared by some that one white man in that community may meet the same fate.
