rays of the sun destroys the vitality
of the germs which cause consump-
ton, pneumonia, influenza, diphtheria
and many other often fatal maladies
This accounts for the prevalence of

WRITES LETTERS TO COUSIN

NEW YORK. Aug. 2S.-Instead of hav-
ing sailed on the Cedric for Europe last
Friday. as was reported, William n.
Fleischmann. wealthy young turfman.
who is said to have played the Saratoga
races beyond his ready cash to the ex-
tent OF some $4,000, is living here In
New York, within FIVE minutes walk of
some of his most intimate friends. He
is occupying a suite of rooms on the
fourth floor of 1929 Broadway, and has
been there several days
Yesterday a servant said that Mr.
Fleichmann was out, and that Mrs
Fleischmann did not care TO see any
callers. She said Mr.. Fleischmann left
no word when he would return. Later
in the day the bell was not answered.
In the front room of the apartment
there were several easy chairs, large
desk. and other articles of furniture, not
yet arranged, giving the place the ap-
pearance of being but recently occupied
Said to Have Fled.
After the facts of Mr.. FIeischmann's
unfortunate plunging in Saratoga were
made known II was said that he had
gone to Europe, and IL was reported
among his acquaintance that he had
written a letter 10 his cousin, Mayor
Fleischmann, of Cincinnati, saying that
he intended to go to South Africa 10 re-
coup his fortune.
This letter. IL was said, stated that 1t
was his first plan 10 commit suicide. but
that he was restrained because OF the
disgrace IL would bring upon his friends.
The letter also said that it was the
writer's one purpose 10 regain his for
tune and pay every dollar he owed
None of Mr.. Fleischmann's friends
could be found last night who would ad-
NIT that they had seen him. An ac-
quaintance said that he knew he left
the city yesterday morning for a few
days in the country. 1t was the general
impression among his friends, however.
that he is living quietly in town until
arrangements can be made to adjust
his matters with the Saratoga bookmak-
ers
1t was said that his wealthy friends
had agreed to go 10 his assistance and
that all his race debts would be paid
within few days.

SIR THOMAS Upton
ABANDONS ALL HOPE
Will Not Try Again to Lift
Much Coveted Cup.
a THINK I'VE DONE ENOUGH"
Advised Not to Come Back With An
other BOat-Says They've Got
the Best Yacht"

NEW YORK, Aug. 2e.-Sir Thomas
Upton has had a clear glimpse of his
finish.
He said so to Sir Horace Tozer yester-
day afternoon. as the steam yacht Erin
was following the belated Shamrock
down her beat to windward.
They've got the best boat" he
said. pointing out over the water at the
Reliance. THAT 1000 square feet of
extra sail is too strong for us Every
inch We go Is an inch toward certain de-
feat
But. Sir Horace, what can a man dc?
What can / do?
Il can't design boat myself. can't
everything else that any man in all this
world can do-everything. And 1 think
I've done enough"
He Will Quit.
Ever since the Shamrock made a bad
showing on the occasion of the first
fuke, week ago yesterday, Sir Thomas
has been advised by his British friends
in this country to quit
One man who has the full confidence of
the Irish baronet said. after that fuke:
I'm quite sure Sir Thomas will come
TO me at the end of these races, as he
has before. TO talk things over with me.
And he will want to know what think
again Though Sir Thomas is too game
a man to admit it now this was on the
first racing dayl. he is licked. and licked
good and plenty.
81, for one. shall not advise him to
come over ana be licked again So far.
what he has done has been done with an
earnest conviction that be could win the
Cup. Your folks on this side have
thought that he had a chance They
have admired the man for his gameness
in sticking to the thing so long as he
seemed TO have a reasonable chance. His
position IN America today is unique.
But. licked as he will be this time
if he comes back again he will dror
from the high position he now holds to
the ridiculous.
won't Come Back"
TITS all very well to talk Of glory for
the man who doesn't know when he is
licked That man who is licked and who
goes on butting his head against a stone
wall is bally ass. And Sir Thomas is
no bally ass. And he won't come back
ION the other hand. hope springs nc
more eternally in any human breast than
in that of the gallant Sir Thomas. The
mere expenditure of money is not a
matter that concerns him in the least,
so long as 1t makes toward his ambition
10 redeem the Cup. II British designer
and British yachtsmen can persuade him
that. despite his defeats with the Sham
rocks |. II, and III. II will be possible
for him to put together a boat. whether
she be sloop or a schooner, that can
lift the Cup. he will amend the words OF
yesterday. I've done enough He may
know when he's licked. but he is no
