win in wagers a sum which was large
enough to make the decision cost him
at least S10O, 900.
Senator McCarren has expressly denied
that the decision in question had any
thing to do with his retirement, and, in
fact, his friends say that il is an insult
to him to so allege.

knowledge that the senator. who was
one of the heaviest bettors of the sea-
son up to a few weeks ago, was big
loser" said a close friend yesterday,
and that the Ocean Tide race If given in
his favor would have made a difference
of vital import to him, but because he
lost it does not follow that he is going
to plead the baby act and quit the
game.
With no racing stable and no jockey
under contract, there is no doubt that
Senator McCarren is unhampered in his
contest for dates. although his most able
business and political associate. Repre-
sentative Tim Sullivan. still retains a
racing stable and a jockey.

DAY MEETS HIS DEATH
IN AUTOMOBILE RACE
Thrown From Machine Rum
ming at Terrific Speed.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. 12.-While
an endeayor TO break the worlds auto
mobile record on the mile track at the
State Fair Park, this afternoon, Frank
Day, driving Barney Oldfield's famous
Red Devil was almost instantly
killed within full view OF 1900 people
His machine swerved while coming
into the home stretch. ran into the
fence, and turned complete somer-
sault. He was thrown to the track
with fearful force. He lived fifteen
minutes
Day had just completed a mile in 81
seconds. according TO a watch held in
the grandstand, and was Just ending his
fourth mile of a fve-mile event against
time. The people in the grandstand and
those along the track were eagerly
watching the terrible speed OF the ma
chine. when, with but e moments warn
ing, the accident was over. Women in
the grandstand tainted. others had hys-
terics, and men turned away from the
track, overcome by the terrible scene.
The chief. and sufficient cause OF Days
death was a fracture OF the base OF the
skull 1t was found that the mastoid
process of the temporal bone had been
driven into the base of the brain. and
there was hole large enough for one

was broken in FIVE places. each collar
bone was fractured and his right hand
was terribly mangled, the flesh ard
skin being torn back on the fingers
and hand, and folded back as though
done with a knife.

PIRATES FIGURE TO
TRIM COLLINS BAND
H. w. Lanigan Says 1t Is Pittsburg
"On the Bit"

Despite the fact that the champion
ship races in both the big baseball
leagues have still almost a solid month
to run. both scrambIes are as good as
over.
Unless something unforeseen happens
the Pittsburg Rowdy-Dows are going to
wind up al the top OF the NationaI
League, while the Boston Plymouth
Rocks are crowned champions in the
American League.
It is almost a surety-in fact, the
magnates are already completing ar
rangements in connection with the
series-that the families OF Clarke and
Collins VIII get together IN e post-sea-
son set Of games.
Eleven games, most likely, will be
played by the two aggregations. All Of
them. so the magnates declare, will be
played in Pittsburg and Boston.
The fans" are already betting on the
probable outcome Of the games. Boston
because II is winning out in a baseball
body some % per cent superior TO the
organization which Pittsburg belongs
70, has been installed a favorite
Bets at 10 to 8, and in some cases 10
to Z. are being laid that the Plymouth
Rocks thrash the Pirates.
The series is not going to be long
enough TO prove complete superiority.
The slightest bit OF luck will determine
the winner. Thus the fans are fool
ish to get aboard al anything but evens
II Pittsburg Is going 10 be the out
slider then the wise ones should play
that team. ClarAe's crowd Is a fast
one. better fighters and more expert
enced, all departments considered, than
the Plymouth Rocks.
On dope" Pittsburg should win out
Its team. despite the fact that it lost
such top-notchers as King O'Connor,
Happy Jack" Chesbro. Jesse Tame
hill, Lefty Davis. and Wild" Conroy
last winter. is a formidable one.
II sound when il comes 10 playing the
fall series. Pittsburg is going 10 triumph
over Collins. Young. Dineen & Co
Here's the dope"
Last fall the AlI-Americans. a distinc-
lively better team than the present Bos-
tons. though lacking in team play, some
chOck-full Of, battled three times with
the Pirates
The first two frolics were bagged by
the Bowdy- -Dows. In the third and final
one the All-Americans managed to scrap
t. an extra inning tie with the National
League champs.
The All-Americans lined up this way:
Billy Sullivan. catcher; "Cy" Young.
Adrian Joss. and Earl Moore, pitchers;
Harry Davis. first base; Larry Lajoie,
second base; Monte Cross. shortstop;
''RhOdy' Wallace. third base; "Topsy'
Hartsel. left field: Fielder Jones. cen
ter field. and Dick Harley, right field.
This is certainly a tobasco lot OF tai
ent. and 10 the average enthusiast looks
far superior TO the outfit popular Jimmy
Collins will be able 10 send in against
the Pirates next month.
However, the Plymouth Rocks play a
winning article; have a corps Of boxmen
second 10 none; a wonderful set OF in
field men at second, third and short, and
very acceptable, though, barring
Chick StahI, not overly brilliant, trio

POLICE ESTIMATES
SUBMITTED BY CHIEF

at the time. appropriation was had for
forty privates of Glass at s72O per
annum.
This was not in line OF economy
coupled with good service, for aside
from the fact that the department has
not been able to procure suitable ma
terial to complete the ranks under this
allowance, investigation goes to prove
that the salary is inadequate to main
tain members of the force as they
should live, and is not an inducement
to worthy men to become applicants,
especially mechanics, railroad men, and
others who can obtain better remun-
Grafton from private employment, when
the cost of uniforms. house rent. deduc-
tions for pensions are taken into con-
sideration. and il must be remembered
that there are times when privates must
wear citizens clothing. that an occa-
sional fine must be paid by way Of dis
cipline, and there is little left upon
which a man can support himself and
family. and this has influenced many
eligible applicants to decline appoint
ment when informed that their pay
would be S720 per annum.
Discouraging Conditions.
The disproportion between the num-
Der Of pTivates of Glass l and Glass 2,
which has been gradually growing for
the past twenty years, owing to the in
disposition of Congress to increase the
number Of privates of Glass 2. has had
a tendency to discourage those OF Glass
1. who should receive an advancement
in pay after several years faithful ser
vice. which is the case in ali other well
conducted municipalities.
Under existing circumstances a pri-
vate Of Glass 1 must wait at least ten
years before he can secure promotion.
whereas ten years ago he had to wait
but six years for the same recognition.
This is an evidence OF the growing dis
proportion between the two classes. In
many other cities the pay is scaled from
$500 to 81 200 per annum. and this has a
tendency TO encourage the most inter
ested."

AN ARMY OF WOMEN
VICTIMS OF ROGUES
Paid to Be Pictured in Gal
lerieS Prohibited at Fair.
MAYORS USED AS DUPES
Collections of Beauties Gathered Under
Their Auspices Refused by Expo
sition Officers.

An army of beautiful women. living IN
more than a dozen States. have been
duped by their own vanity and are now
looking to the Postofnee Department for
revenge, and If that is denied. for JUS
tice. The women who have made COM
plant are those who were selected to
represent their States in the several
Beauty Galleries" proposed for the ST.
Louis Exposition.
Under the plans operated by two or
three companies getting up the galleries
mayors OF cities were requested TO nomi-
nate from three to twenty candidates
whose photographs were TO be displayed
in the collection When the names wers
forwarded to the companies agents wera
sent to call upon the nominees and So
licit the portraits as well as fee to
"defray the expenses" of framing and
otherwise preparing the pictures for ex-
hibition.
Fees Collected.
With the promise that the galleries
would occupy conspicuous positions in
their respective State buildings. the
agents encountered little difficulty In
collecting from 81 TO s. each from the
nominees. Most OF the soliciting was
done more than a year ago since when
the women who gave their photographs
and their money have heard nothing
from the companies.
Recently two or three State commits
sions have taken action on the apDlica-
tions OF the companies for space In
t. ina a
commissions have declined to enter into
the scheme or TO give space for the gal
ler:es
knowledge of such action was receiv-
ed by several OF the women and the
news was not long in becoming gener-
ally circulated.
In consequence, mayors OF about 200
cities in all parts OF the United 5tates
have been held to account. and In SELL
defense a number of them have written
to the Postofice Department to see what
action can be taken against the COM
panies.
Fraud Orders.
The legal branch of the Postoffics De-
partment has not determined whether
fraud orders can be issued against the
companies, but inasmnch as the mails
were used in interesting mayors Of
cities to make nominations Of types
OF beauty and for the distribution OF
literature, 1t is believed that this can
be done.
Issuance of fraud orders against the
companies. however, viii not sarisfy the
women who Rave been separated from
prize beauties" would like to know
what disposition. is to be made of he
photographs in the event the gallery
movement fails CONSERVATION was
created in their ranks by the suggestion
that the pictures may be used in patent
medicine advertisements.
