 Hartford, Sept. 7.--An accident-the
 throwing of Bud Doble in the fifth heat
 of the 2:1O trot, which resulted in the distancing of The Roman, who had
 won two heats-prevente the connple-
 ton os the programme at the opening days races in the fall meeting ef the grand circuit at Charter Oak track to- day. There were between 10000 and 12000 people in attendance and the con- ditions were well nigh perfect for good
 racing. It was during the last event on the programme that the accident occurred and as it was too late to finish the long drawn out 2:10 trot the judges postponed the final heat until to-mor- row, when the heat winners will decide the contest. At the three-q quarters mark in the fifth heat DobIe behind The Ro- man was forging to the front when 3 knee boot became loose and so dropped as to trip The Roman, which stag gered Doble, realizing that an acei- dent was unavoidable, threw himself from the sulky, landing hard on the track. The horse became frightened and started to run but was ripped up again and tufnbled complete somer- sault.
 Dr. Strong and Mckinley fought out the heat, the latter winning by a nose. Thousands os people swarined across the track to the scene of the accident,
 believing that both horse and driver
 were seriously injured, but both escaped
 with few superficial scratches. Doble went before the judges and claimed that he had been interfered with but as
 he made no specific charge the judges
 after a long consultation decided that The Roman was distanced.
 Of the other events the Hartford fu- turity was the feature. Sadie Me, the favorite, winning and making 8 record
 of 2:11 1-2 in the final heat.

AN EXTRA SESSION
Unless Panama Canal and Cuban Re
ciprocitY Treaties Are Ratified

Washington, Feb. 19.-President
Roosevelt will call an extraordinary
session of the Senate of the 57th Con-
2ress, unless both the Panama canal
and the Cuban reciprocity treaties are
ratified at the present session. The
President made this declaration of his
intention to several senators. today.
and he made it as emphatically and
unequivocally as he was capable of
making it.
1t was deemed likely by officials of
the administration and by many sena-
tors that both treaties will be ratified
before March 4. but the necessity for
their early ratification is regarded by
the President as so urgent that in the
event of the failure of either one or
both at the present session he will issue
immediate call for an extra session.
1t is said that there are grave rea-
sons of state why both treaties should
be ratified as soon as possible. These
have induced the President to make
the announcement to senators of his
determination.

Thirty-two passengers, one half of

points of revolvers to surrender cash
and jewelry to the amount of between
$500 and 800. The robbers performed
their work quickly but effectively. The
car was held for 10 minutes The men
then left it and disappeared in the
darkness. The holdup was carried out
in a way that marked the two outlaws
as old hands at the business.
The car left Los Angeles at o'clock

volvers in their hands they stood in the
doors and in foul language ordered
everybody to dig up" their coin and

The robber at the rear door stepped
uron a bog and from this commanding
position covered the startled passengers
with his revolver. The other one passed

coin and watches and thrusting them
carelessly into his coat pocket. While
taking the property of the passengers
the bandit kept up flow OF abuse.
John w. Gay. agent of the Raymond

being shot by the robbers. He resisted
being searched, pushing the robber
back. Instantly the man showed his
revolver towards Gays face. The lat

the trigger was pulled and the bullet
went through the roof.
Another passenger showed some in

THINK 1T OVER.
Something you Can See in Any Res
taurant or Cafe.


A physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large restau-
rant at lunch or dinner time the large
number of hearty, vigorous old men at
the tables; men whose ages run from
60 TO SO years; many of them bald and
all perhaps gray, but none of them
feeble or Senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation
or comment, but nevertheless it is an
object lesson which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe
that they arc not munching bran
crackers nor gfngerly picking their
WAY through a menu card of new fang
led health foods; on the contrary they
seem 10 prefer 4 juicy roast of beef, a
properly turned loin of mutton. and
even the deadly broiled lobster is not
altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that a vigor-
Gus old age depends upon good diges-
ton and plenty of wholesome food and
not upon dieting and an endeavor to
live upon bran crackers.
