SOME FOLKS HARD TO PLEASE.
A DisagreeabIe Passenger Who
Raised nm objection TO Straight
Line Railway Maps.

"Look at that" said an ill-natured
passenger, pointing to large map on

the Chicago Inter Ocean. "Isn't that
an abominable fraud?"
"What's the matter with it?" asked
his mild companion.

RECORDS ARE IN DANGER.
Crack Performers Will Work for New
Marks at Today's A. A: U. Meet.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12--Ap excellent
entry list, both in regard to quality and
quantity, has been received for the
senior and junior track and field cham
pionships of che Amateur, Athletic
Union, which will be held under the
auspices of the New York Athletic Club
at Travers Island tomorrow.
Despite the fact that records have
been broken constantly during the past
few years. there is pretty good chance
of several more falling by the wayside
at this meeting. The records most in
the shot put. hammer and discus, and
there is slight chance of the ancient
figures for the five-mile run being al
tered.
George Gray, holder of the American
record of AZ feet for the shot,. is entered
again, after an absence OF five years
from competition. He has trained pur-
posely to beat the old record.
Flanagan and De Witt, the Princeton
giant, are close to record form in ham
mer throwing. and their rivalry is likely
to cause the present record of Iii feet 9
inches. by Flanagan. to be eclipsed
Henneman, OF Milwaukee, and NJ. j.
Sheridan have been alternating in rails
ing the figures for the discus, and ono
of them may break the record again on
Saturday.
A grand contest is looked for in the
fve-mile senior championship If Alex.
Grant. w. H. McVicar, and Jerry Pierce,
the Indian, toe the mark. The Indian.
who Is under suspension for the helm

to run under protest.
Pierce forced Kanaly, who won this
event last year. to do great time, and
some say the Indian would have won but
for his efforts in winning the junior
championship the day before.
Arthur Duffey, of 8 AS seconds fame,
is not on the list. He is reported, how
ever, to be on his way from England in
company with Sam Jones, the jumper, to
take part in the games.
Duffey will, CT course, be welcome to
compete If he arrives In time. Jones
won the English championship while
and is saiddo be jumping close
TO feet 4 inches.
For the first time in several years
Canadian team will take part in the
senior championship. The team is COM
posed of j. P. Craig. John ID. Morrow,

Mr.. Charles C. Cook, of 1887 Seventh

complaining of the treatment he re-
ceived at the hands Of the municipal
authorities
Mr.. Cook explains that he is manu-
facturer OF proprietary medicines, and
he refers to note published in The
Times recently noting his application to
the District Commissioners for informa-
tion regarding the legal requirements
for the manufacture and sale of such
articles in the District. The reply to
this communication was in effect that
the license fees would be furnished him
on application to the Assessor.
In the meantime, however, he was ar
rested ard taken to court and fined 800,
though he proved his intent to keep with
in the law. stating that he was still
awaiting reply to his letter to the
Commissioners.
Says Inspector Called.
Mr.. Cook says that an inspector who
called in regard to his license told him
what the fee would be. and assured him
that "a man would be up to see him
about IT. While he was awaiting the
promised caller and a reply from the
Commissioners a policeman appeared
with warrant and he was taken to
court. He says he endeavored to have
the Commissioners summoned as wit
nesses to prove that he had endeavored
to obey the law and also tried to get
speech with the District Attorney to ex-
plain matters.
The next day his case was called in
court and despite his statement of the
facts fine of s100-the license fee Is
but s6--was imposed. Hestelegraphed to
Baltimore for the money but the mes
sage was delayed until after banking
hours. The court, he says, gave him
until p. m. to pay or go to Jail. and
only the Intervention of brother Mason
saved him the latter humiliation,
