TO ARREST WANAMAKER.
Former Postmaster General Accused
of Selling Poison Illegally.

Philadelphia, April IA warrant has
been issued by Magistrate Stratton for
the arrest of John Wanamaker. former
postmaster general. on charge of sell
ing poison illegally. The charge was
made by the state pharmaceutical ex-
aiming board.
The warrant charges that Lee H
Paul, a representative of the complain
ant board, bought one ounce of bichlo-
ride of mercury in the Wanamaker
store. and that the clerk making the
sale did not label it poison" and that
he did not make any entry of the sale
as required by the law regulating the
sale of pOisOns.
Inquiry showed that the bichloride Of
mercury was sold in the Photographic
department of the store. for photo
graphic purposes. As practically all the
Photographic supply houses in the city
sell the chemical in the manner COM
planned of, it is the general impression
that the warrant was sworn out as u
bit of petty political vengeance, Mr.
Wanamaker being the leader of the in
surgent' Republican forces in the city
and always at war with the city au-
thOrifies.

Maspeth Race Track Buildings Swept
by Fire.

New York April 14.-Maspeth race

tionized racing in this state, has been
swept by fire. The grand stand, which
seated 1000, the paddock. platforms and
hotel We're destroyed In its last days
it was known as the Queens county
park, a picnicking resort. About sevea
years ago a syndicate Of racing men
leased the place and built the half-mile
track. Strings of electric lights were
placed about the ring and the famous
night racing meeting began
Wonderful tales are told by turf
goers of the tricks played there. 1t Is
known that in two instances a horse
that ran last was placed first by the
judges because men in power were bet
ting on that horse. The electric lights
neutrahzed colors so that many errors
unintentional and otherwise, were made
in announcing the order in which racers
had finished.
Scandal became so great that racing
in this state tottered in the balance.
and finally a law was passed forbidd1ng
night racing. The financial loss caused
by the fire is small.
