MEMPHIS RACES.
Big String of Horses at the Famous
Race Track.

Big string OF Horses at the Famous
Race Track.
Memphis. Tenn, March 30.-They re
off. The day for the annual spring
meeting of the New Memphis Jockey
club has at last arrived, and the racing
season is at hand. Nothing but incle
ment weather can prevent this being
the most successful meeting ever wit
messed in the south The classic Mont
gomery handicap-renewed for the
twenty-fifth time-is the event of the
opening day. This morning the can.
didates for the rich stake, including
the favorites McChesney and Aladdin,
were exercised over the track before a
great crowd of turf followers anxious
to form their final Judgment on the
probable result of the great race to be
decided in the afternoon. The handi-
cap is the fourth event on the card
and will he called at near 4:30 o'clock
The race from every point of view
cannot fail to be grand success. A
half dozen look to have a good chance
and will receive liberal support.
The Montgomery handicap is the
first big gun of the legitimate racing
season, and is virtually the signal tc
the racing world, notifying them thai
the spring racing has begun. The Mont
gomery handicaps of past years in
variably proved good index on which
to base calculations on the best handi
cap horses in the west for their en-
gagements later on in the Wheele
handicap, at Washington Park, am
for some of the vests richest all-aget
stakes. This year the class of the fielt
that goes to the post is topped by Nc
Chesney, the unbeaten 4-year-old, Tn
next choice to McChesney in the BET
ting on the event is George c. Ben
nett's Aladdin.

BREAKS IN lEvEES.
Vast Sheet of Water Covers Lower
Mississippi Region.

New Orleans, March 30.-Discourag.
ing news comes today from the Hymlia
break. During the early morning more
of the cribbing was swept away by the
terrific current that is running through
the broken levee and the ends are cav
ing with greater rapidity tnan ever.
Large forces are at the scene and lum.
Der is arriving in abundance, but the
crevasse is apparently beyond control.
Senator Brady, in charge at one end,
says the break has now reached a
width of 600 feet and that while work
will continue the outlook for closing
is less promising than it has been. A
conference of all the agencies at work
has been called to determine whether
1t is advisable to go on with the pres
ent efforts. The land for miles around
is vast sheet of water and the tracks
are completely covered while the
Southern Pacific is constantly in dan.
ger from backwater. If the crevasse is
abandoned the break will doubtless
prove one of the worst since 1884.

Salvation Army,

The Salvation Army once more an,
nounces the approach of it's week of
prayer and self-denial. To many of us
the notion of a special period for such
purposes seems wholly unnecessary in
an organization whose every hour is
made up of prayer and all too often of
tasting, with endless hard work on top
OF 1t all; but these sturdy fighters
against evil best know their needs, and
no one acquainted with their work can
doubt that those needs are many and
imperative. During the week of April
D 10 H. then, the local body of army
workers while themselves practicing
the most rigid selfdenial, ask their
friends to aid them so far as may be
Ior further and greater use against the
powers of evil.

1t is rumored that the carrying
capacity of the Santa Fe railroad is to
be more than doubled within the year
to enable the expeditions handling of
the business that may accrue from the
new lines now being built into the in
terror OF California. Heavier steel will
be laid on large part of the system
and more side tracks will be put in.
The track force is now more than
three times what il was a year ago
and additions to this force is being

that of Charles Robinson. and his trial
took place this morning. He is being
tried on the charge of forgery, his case
being more serious than that of Nc
Donald.
Robinson is charged with entering
the store of S. Vann & Son and offer

some medicine, which was accepted.
Later when the forgery had been dis
covered and he was arrested and was
being taken to Jail he pulled gun on
Officer Rossi, who threw out his hand
and most fortunately his thumb caught
under the trigger as IL was being pull
ed. This quick action of the officer
prevented his lights being blown out.
The case was continued this after
noon and will probably be decided up
on by the jury before night. Robin
son is trying to prove that he Is not

strong.
The case Of James Atwell, charged
with forgery will be tried tomorrow.
The Judge did not pass the sentence
on Mcdonald who pleaded guilty to
forgery, but he viii probably get

mind, boys. There is one man | coult
kill now even if hung for it,.
rs there anything else you recall o.
the conversation between you, Pennel
and the CASHIER"
Nothing except matters of ordinary
conversation"

RAISED MONEY ORDER.
Man Buys an Order for One Dollar
and Collects Thiriy-Five,
OFFICERS ON the TRAIL.

The officers are looking for a clever
forger who raised money order and
forged the name of Postmaster Hop
kins to the order, which was cashed
by a Las Vegas merchant few days
ago.
On March 20, a money order was is
sued by the postoffice here for 81,
which, when returped called for s35
instead of 81. The reason for pur
chasing the 81 order was to get posses
sion of the blank and then the Work os
raising the order was simple. By the
use of chemicals the writing on the
order was all taken out and the re-
written order was so cleverly done that
there was no chance whatever of dis
covering the fraud, at the time it was
cashed. 1t was only after it was re-
turned to the Office from which it was
issued that the forgery and raised
amount was discovered. The forger,
after obliterating the original writing
with chemicals, had made the order
payable to himself for $35, with Post
master Hopkins name signed to the or
der. 1t was cashed by a merchant of
Las Vegas, who will be the loser.
The postofice officers are on the
trail of the clever forger and he will
undoubtedly be apprehended soon. The
man that did the work was beyond
doubt an expert in the crooked busi-
ness.

low the trend of events in ship building
and the breaking of records on the At

ing with keenest interest the results of
the trial trip begun today OF the new
North German Lloyd transatlantic
liner, the Kaiser Wilhelm ii. From
the day the keel OF the big vessel was
laid the company has not concealed it's
hope that she will be able to make the
trip from Sandy Hook to Plymouth at
a daily average speed of 231s knots an
hour. Should the great liner be able to
live up to this promise she will. of
course, come nearer making the pass
age in five days than ever was done be-
fore, and will establish her absolute
right to the title of Queen of the Sea"
in practically every respect
That the hopes of the builders are
not without foundation is evidenced by
a comparison of the new ship with
some of the biggest liners now in the
Atlantic service. I he Kaiser Wilhelm

10000 horse power The Deutschland
has about $1,000 and the Kronprinz of
the Hamburg-American line, which at
