 Over and Falls In the
 Ditch Unhurt.
JOCKEY WILSON INJURED

Cincinnati, November 2.-The steeple- chase at Latonia, which was won by Ed Corrigan's Serge, furnished the most ex- citing accident ever seen at the Latonia track. While making the last jump in the home stretch, Frisco turned a complete somersault, and fell into the ditch along side the fence From the grandstand it looked as though both horse and rider had been killed but in a few seconds the horse was on his feet apparently unin- jured Jockey Wilson was knocked sense- less and when examined by the track phy- sicians it was found that his hip was crushed and he was internally injured.
 Three fayorites, ? second choice and two outsiders won. The weather was cloudy and track fast. Summary:

When Mayor W. M. Drennen gives the word for Dan Patch, 1:56A. Friday after noon about S:3O o'clock, it is more than probable that a new worlds record will be made, provided the weather is good. Cnly the worlds record on half mile track stands between M. F. MeHenrys great horse and the worlds champion ship, and every effort will be made to get this new record.
 This race is not being pulled off for money making. The Birmingham track is considered one of the fastest half-mile tracks in the country, and the managers of the great horse feel confident that they will be able to lower a worlds record as well as give the people of this city a

touch of real horse racing.
 Beside the attempt of Dan Patch to break a worlds record there will be a free-for-all trot and a 2:20 class pace; also running race. This will make an entire afternoon of sport for Birmingham and will insure a good crowd.
 At present Dan Patch holds every record except mile on a half-mile track. This record is held by Prince Alert, 2:0S1a, which is just half second faster than Dan Patch's previous record. The man agers of the horse believe that he will be able to pace the mile on this track in less than 2:02, which is a marvellous per- formance.
 Dan Patch will reach Birmingham this morning and will be stabled at

Capetown, November 2.-The Ger man consul here confirms the rumor of native rebellion in Damaraland, a country of Southwest Africa, forming a part of the German possessions there. German non-commissioned officer commanding at Warmbad was killed and the chief of the rebels has been shot down.

He went a good mile yesterday at Memphis. and will be worked out for a slow mile today before he Is put on the train for his trip to Birmingham.
 Dan Patch holds more worlds harness records than any other horse, and in fact horsemen the world over consider him the most valuable piece of horse flesh anywhere. On the Memphis track he paced the mile in 1:56A, every quarter of which was made in :29 except one.
 It was not long ago that horsemen se- riously doubted if a mile would ever be paced in ? minutes.

LARGE INCREASE
 IN LAND FRAUDS Commissioner Richards Makes
 His Annual Report MORE AGENTS ARE NEEDED General Land Office is Twelve Months Behind in Its Work, Although
 Much Crookedness Has AL
 ready Been Unearthed.
MORE AGENTS ARE NEEDED

| Washington, November 2.--The annual report of Hon. W. A. Richards, com missioner of the general land office, which was made public yesterday, says there was in the past year a large increase in the supposedly fraudulent land entries over the preceding year. He attributes their discovery largely to an order of the | secretary of the interior, dated November | ?, 1902, directing the investigation of all entries made under the timber and stone act in the state of California, Oregon and Washington. Under this order. alone, 10000 entries have been suspended and there are now fifteen special agents of the land office in that field engaged in ferretting out the fraudulent entries.
 Commissioner Richards also states that during the year there were reported 125 unlawful enclosures of public land cover- ing an area of 2,6O5, ,S9O acres Seventy nine of these enclosures have been re- moved and proceedings are pending to compel the removal of the remaining number. He says, however, that the total number here mentioned, is only a frac- ton of the enclosures maintained in vio- lation of the law, the special agents hav ing found it impossible to give attention to as many others because of the order Tor special investigation of the entries under the timber and stone act
 Complaint is made of the operation of the act of March Il, 1902, to facilitate en- tries. Referring to this law, the commits sioner says:
 Privileges Abused.
 The privileges granted by the act have been greatly abused by United States commissioners who have often been parties to wholesale frauds in connection With entries made before them Affidavits ana entry papers have been prepared in the names of fictitious entrymen. and a variety of other ways have been dcvised by these officers to assist parties to evade compliance with the requirements of inc law" N '''
 The report makes a strong plea for larger forces of special agents.
 speaking of the forest lien land sections the commissioner says there were 5504 of them pending on the first of last Julv ana they involved an approximate area oi i'.oo'ioo acres. He recommends a change III 'he law permitting the exchange of patented lands within the reservation for unpatented land on the outside. sav,na.
 Tn the exchange of land within forest reserve for other public land r. frequently occurs that land from which the timber has been cut is exchanqed for land having timber. This is mani- festly unfair to the government, but can 1t be prevented under the law? While if is considered to be impracticable to re- quest that only land of like value shall be taken in exchange for land in reserve. it might be provided that timber land should not be selected in lieu of such land just as mineral land is now ex- cepted from said section."
