SOME RACY LETTERS
APPEAR IN COURT
interesting Bits OF Testimony
in the Paul Breach Of
Promise Case.

| Columbus, April 2S.-Forty-fve let
ters from among 1.500 or more. written
by Mrs. Alice Fleming. of Indianapolis.
| to the late Delaware bank president,
Carey B. Paul. were introduced In the
examination of Mrs. Fleming. who is
suing the Paul estate in the federal
court here for $4,000 for alleged
breach of promise.
The claim Is bitterly contested by
Mrs. Paul and her children. One let
ter after another referred to prospec-
tive or actual purchases of diamonds.
one puchase being for 5000. Mrs.
Fleming. in one letter had longing
for three rubies "crusted all over with
diamonds and good ones" She be-
seeched him in another letter to send
her bank stock. This was when Mr..
Paul wished Mrs. Fleming to ac-
company him to Chicago.
In a letter which touched upon the
proposed Chicago trip, the writer put
in this: ''If you will take 100 shares
of bank stock with you and run the
risk of my teasing them out of you,
] will CO."
A statement. which is considered i'm
portant by attorneys for the estate, in
one of the letters, read as follows:
1T does make me SO sorry when |
think how you will put me off so and
run the risk of dying and leaving me
destitute"
This was written long after Mrs.
Fleming claims to have been presented
by Mr.. Paul with $3.50 worth of gov
ernment bonds. Mrs. Fleming said in
one communication that it would be
wise If Mr.. Paul were to buy wheat.
pork or stocks and present them to
her in case inquisitive persons wanted
to know how she had enough money
to buy sealskin coats.

$40, 465.
FROM THE EA.L.E.&W ",
Flat Car Was "Kicked"Into His
Buggy and Caused Run
awsy--Serious injury
Alleged.

DR.. Fremont d. Davis. dentist, at
Minerva, has sued the Lake Erie, AL
lance and Wheeling railway for s1O,-
465 for injuries received through what
Is claimed to have been the careless
ness and neglect of the company.
The petition was filed in the court of
common pleas of Stark county Mon
day afternoon. It alleges that on the
18th of last November, as the doctor
was driving into the village of MI
perva, and when crossing switch
of the defendant company on Valley
street, an engine "kicked" fat car
into the switch, which struck his
buggy. caused the horse to run away
and resulted in his being dragged out
over the dash board and severely in
iured.
The bones Of his right ankle were
broken, and he received severe inter-
nal injuries that kept him from prac-
ticing his profession for a month. He
claims to still further suffer as result
of the accident.
1t is alleged that the company had
no watch man, brakeman, signal lights
or other means of protection to the
public.
Attorneys Taylor and Stewart and
Mowls and Elliott represent the plain
tiff.

N0ENDIN SIGHT
Debate on the Philippine
Government Bill.
IS TO BE CONTINUED
Throughout tho Week In the
Senate--A Miscellaneous
Program Before the
House.

Washington, d. c., April 2S.-The
plans of the senate for the week do
not extend beyond the continuation
of the debate on the Philippine gov
ernment bill and consideration of min
or matters when there Is no one pre-
pared to speak on the Philippine bill.
There is no prospect thus far for
speeches in support of that measure,
and, consequently, all the talk is likely
to continue to be on the negative side
of the question. Senator Hoar has
made known his intention to speak on
the bill, but 1t is not expected that he
will be heard during the present week.
In the committees the inquiries into
the sugar question, as related to Cuba,
and into Gen. Crozier's connection
with gun carriage inventions probably
will be begun. The committee on the
Philippines also will proceed with its
investigation into the condition of af-
fairs in the Philippines.
There is miscellaneous program
ahead for the house this week. Tues
day the omnibus bill will be passed.
Wednesday consideration of the agri-
cultural appropriation bill will be re-
sumed and after it is disposed of the
District of Columbia appropriation bill
will be taken up and probably passed
before the end of the week. With Its
passage only two appropriation bills
will remain to be acted on By the
house-the naval and general deficien-
cy bills. Seldom have the appropria-
ton bills been so we'll advanced at a
long session of congress.

IN A BAD STATE
Game Bill, Loaded With
Amendments,
NOT LIKELY TO PASS
Farmers In all Parts Of the
State Are Kicking on
the License
Feature.

The legislature Is still wrestling
with the game laws of the state, and
it is now feared that unless something
Is done soon the old unsatisfactory
game law that has been the joke of
the country for two years will stand
another two years.
The fish and game commission pre-
pared a bill and attempted to put it
through, but it was too much a de-
parture from the general ideas of the
country members of the body. 1t has
been amended in one particular and
another, until 1t has lost its good
qualities had been loaded with others
that are Objectionable.
The farmers especially are kicking
on the license feature, which imposes
license of 81 on each hunter. This
money is to go into the hands of the
fish and game commission to be paid
out to deputy game wardens, men who
have made themselves very unpopular
In the state In their greed to collect
fines which 60 largely into their own
pockets.
The open season for shooting GER
tain kinds of birds has not been agreed
upon, and at the present time the bill
is in chaotic state, with little hopes
Of reaching form that will be ac-
ceptable to majority Of the legisla-
ture.
There is also fight on as to wheth-
er or not spring shooting of ducks
and snipe Is to be allowed. They are
migratory bird and Ohio sportsmen
claim they should be allowed to kill
them whenever they can get q chance
at them.
The laws regulating fishing are also
bone Of contention in the legislative
body. Too many interests clash to
make the present bill acceptable.

The He I'm ont Park Racetrack

No more welcome news has come to
the ears OF hosemen and the admirers
Of thoroughbreds generally than that
made public last Tuesday to the effect
that the finest racetrack ever seen
in this country. if not, indeed, in the
world, is soon TO be built at Queens,
on Long Island. Belmont Park the
name which the Westchester Racing
Association has selected for its new track,
will embody all that has been found by
experience TO be desirable in thoroughly
equipped course.
Belmont Park will be more than a race
track in the ordinary sense of that word.
1t will be place suited to the
stabling and breaking and training of
yearlings; it will afford ample facilities
for holding great annual breeding sales,
and, moreover its connexions club
house will constitute a sort Of head
quarters where horsemen may gather
either for social or business purposes.
For the best interests of the turf a plac
such as Belmont Park promises to be has
long been needed, and this need has been
felt during the past few years in pro-
portion to the increasing popularity of
racing. The triptO Belmont Park should
be made in about three-quarters of an
hour from the Manhattan end of the
Bridge.
With every racetrack there are linked
associations and customs, not to say
superstitions, which it is hard to aban-
share. But with the promises Of another
course three times as large as the old one
and surprising it in every essential par
ticular, to be ready for use within a
year and half from the present time
no one should greve over the disappear
ance of the Westchester trick.
