DAvY JOHNSON QUITS BOOKING.
Big PlunEer Pulls Up Loser to the
Tune of $4,000.

Tune of $4,000.
REPUBLIC
New York, May 13.-'Davy' Johnson has
retired from the .bookmaking business fV
good and all. Since the Morris Park op0-
ing johnson has waged a stiff outside play
in which he sustained a long series of bad
luck. On Sunday his accounts showed a
loss for the meeting Of $4,000, and then and
there he decided to drop the game for good.
Coming into the ring yesterday Johnson
addressed himself to q small circle of Met
ropolitan Turf Association lawyers as fol-
lows:
made this business Improbable, and I am
through"
Johnson won and lost fortunes on the
turf. He has been UP and down time n
again. He has been in Wall street, too.
Three years ago he dropped over 500. 900 in
oil stocks. He won 1t all back at the tracks,
though.

question had been considered by the
President. AS a matter. of fact, the
report Of Carroll u. Wright has been
received, but the President had not
had time to read 1t before he left for
his summer home.
The reason for this denial is plain
enough. The announcement that the
President was going to take action
caused a great stir in the mining re-
gions and in coal mining circles. on
the one hand the strikers were rejoic-
ing in the belief that this threat of in
vestigation would frighten the opera
tors and lead them to make peace with
their employees. They saw In 1t an
agency for securing their ends.
But on the other hand, the operators
were rampant They gave out a state
ment that while they did not object 70
an inquiry, they regretted that there
should have been any thought OF such
thing at this time, because they fear
il will encourage the strikers to r.
mai1 out longer than they would
do otherwise, in the hope that the
President will do something to aid
II en-. They believe the strike leaders
will make the most of the President
order. and that it will be used to per-
suade the men that If they will hold
4
will weaken the operators and give the
strikers the victory They regret the
Presidents action all the more because
their latest advices from the coal fields
have been to the effect that the strike
was rapidly reaching a point of crisis.
and that the men were anxious to get
back to work The coal road presi
dents say that they have received petit
tions from many of their men who are
on strike, asking that the mines be re-
opened, and promising to go to work
as soon as this is done.
/: is quite easy to understand that
both Washington and Oyster Bay were
bombarded with messages from coal
magnates, wanting to know what the
President meant by setting himself
against the men who control Republi
can nominations and furnish Republi
can campaign funds, and he promptly
proceeded to put himself right with
his influential friends.

Little serpents.
The "horsehalr snakes" are small.
flesh colored mites which live princi-
paly in stagnant water. After going
through various transformations they
come to the surface of the water In the
shape Of very slender, purplish looking
threads. When they reach this last
stage. they leave the water and work
theE way up the stalks and leaves OF
aquatic plants When opportunity af-
fords. they attach themselves to the
feet, legs. wings and other parts of
larger insects. often as one authority
states. creeping under the wing ease
of beetles. In the case Of the cricket
katydid. grasshopper and other insects
Of that ilk. whose legs are hollow. the
tiny horsehair takes the advantage and
creeps up the hollows into the very
vitals.
This accounts for the fat and clumsy
condition OF some individuals OF the
above named species, single specimens
of the cricket having been caught with
ONNi WV uOHeh Vi iuSHG IHTNHuIthR
snakes" attached to and inside of
their bodies. After heavy rains. which
frequently drown crlckets and katydlds
which are weighted down by these
parasites, the "horsehair snake"
emerges from the carcass of the insect
a full hedged miniature serpent In this
mature state he is the delight of the
curiosity seeker and mine OF study to
those who delight to delve In nature g
bypaths. Those which have been for
tunate enough not to have been carried
very far from water by the insects
which they encountered during life
make their way back to the ponds to
lay their eggs. They then wrap them
selves around the eggs, which soon
hatch into the little flesh colored mites
mentioned in the opening. About this
time the parent 'snake" dies to make
room for its progeny.

EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT
ROOSEVELT AND HIS PARTY.

Republican papers are now en-
deavoring in one breath to show that
Congress was in entire harmony with
President Roosevelt, and in the next 20
show that the masses of the Republican
party support the Presidents call for
reciprocity with Cuba, as against the
alleged sugar beet Senators" The
action of the Republican conventions
In Minnesota. Michigan and Missouri
shows that the party leaders in those
States dare not stand against reciproc-
ity, and It is quite probable that the
same line will be followed elsewhere,
on account of the awakening serti-
ment against tariff oppression. The
idea is that reciprocity is a good
enough humbug to win a cam
paign on.
But no matter what Republican plat.
forms say, the Republican rarty could
not be any more fully pledged TO re-
ciprocity than it was in the last cleo
tlons The Republican national plat
form committed the party to it as fully
and explicitly as it did to the admis-
sion of Arizona. New Mexico and Okla
homa. Moreover, Mr.. Mckinley was
the exponent of Republican reciproc-
ity which was alleged not to inter
fere with the system of protection. and
the reciprocity treaties were negotited
under his direction. But they were
all turned down at the bidding of the
tariff beneficiaries, just as they would
be again If the Republicans are in con-
troll, no matter what the platforms
may say.
And there Is no probability that MIR.
Roosevelt will stand any more firmly
for reciprocity at another time than he
did during the late session OF Con-
gress. At the critical moment, in
stead of bending every force, as Cleve-
land did to repeal the Sherman law, 10
secure the adoption of his 20 per cent
reciprocity scheme, he announced that
he would make no effort beyond send
ing in his message. Why? Because
he is a candidate for the Republican
Presidential nomination. and because
he knew that the so-called beet sugar
Interest" was in fact the consolidated
tariff interest, and he dared not an
tagonize 1t. What do platform
pledges amount to in the face of the
record that has been made on reci-
procity by both Congress and the
President? That record is beyond de-
fense or explanation. And new prom
ises do not help it.
