Russell sports Attempt to Beat California
Boy are Badly worsted In the Race.
There vas q Interesting little horse
race between Waukegau and Kenosha
last night which resulted IN couple
Of Russell sports being badly worsted.
The two men ia question own the
fastest horse ia the ueighborhood Of
Russell, and the horse is at times good
for two forty pace. Monday after
noon the two we're out for a drive, aud
as they were driving along they came
upon another vehicle. In the vehicle
was an old man and his wife and the
horse they we're driving was patient
looking sorrel which appeared to have
about speed enough to serve in a
funeral procession. The men began
to taunt the old man because he insist
ed Ia having his side Of the road. The
Russell sports took a good start and
then the old man IN a caressing tone
of voice, called out to the beaynetted
horse he was driving. 1t was like
touch Of magic. The horse pricked up
his ears and stsrted IN pursuit of the
Russell horse. He seemed to have
forgotten that it was a country road
and that he was pulling heavy buggy
with az old mar and woman ia it, and
he cleared the track ii front Of him
and plunged along in a perfect trot at
the rate Of mile ia 2:06.
The Russell men wondered at the
approach, and when the old horse shot
past them and they we're hopeless1y
beaten, they pulled to the side of the
road. The old man was not to be left
out Of the game for he turned round
and handed the men card and in
formed them that they had raced for
mile with the only horse that ever beat
"Star Pointer" The horse was "Cal-
ifornia Boy once famous product OF
the Lucky Baldwin stables, but now
ia use for driving horse. The horse
was at one time considered the peer of
all the trotting horses in the United
States. The present owner Of it has
driven it all the way from California
and is now enroute to Green Bay for a
visit with relatives there.

PARKS MUST SERVE TIME.
Walking Delegate is Convicted Of Ex-
tortion,

New York, Oct. 31.-For the second
time within two months Samuel J.
Parks, walking delegate of House
smiths and Bridgemen's Local Union
No. 2, was convicted of the crime OF
extortion in the court of general ses.
sions yesterday afternoon. 1t took
the jury just twelve minutes, during
which time they took two ballots, to
agree on the guilt of Parks in extort-
ing $500 from the Tiffany studios, a,
firm of contractors. under threat Of
keeping them from continuing work on
buildings last January. It was shown
at the trial that Parks had obtained
$500 from the Tiffany firm as an ''in-
itiation fee" last January, when the
housesmiths and bridgemen were on
three of the Tiffany contracts in this
city. Parks claimed that this money
was fine levied BY his labor union
Later the fact developed that Parks
had been disloyal to his union mas
much as he permitted the Tiffany firm
to employ non-union men on concern
jobs after having received the $500.
He was remanded for sentence week
hence. The charge on which his form
or conviction was secured also was ex-
tortion.

FURTHER WAR ON KISSING.
Moves Made at Carroll College and by
Waukesha's Council.

Moves Made at Carroll College and by
Waukesha's Council.
Waukesha, Wis, Oct. 31.-Wiscon-
sins wal against kissing has broken
out in new quarter. 1t started in
GAINESVILLE, where the city council tried
in vain to pass measure making jan.
itors of public school buildings special
officers to arrest any young people
found kissing so loud and so long on
the school steps as to keep people re-
siding in the neighborhood awake.
Now Waukesha has begun its attack
on spooning couples. First Carroll col
lege, by action of the faculty, took ac-
ton, making it an offense worthy OF
expulsion for college student to be
found lowing" girl in the college
grounds. In addition the city council
has instructed officers to stop the use
of high school and district school
steps by spoony couples. The Carroll
college action is due to a report made
by the police officers that there is too
much kissing at that institution.

Japanese Will Not Acquiesce in Rus
sia's Proposals.
London, Oct. 31.-The Morning Post
says it understands that Japan is by
no means prepared to acquiesce in the
suggestion that she give Russia free
hand in Manchuria in exchange for q
Japanese free hand in Korea. jar IN
contends, says the Morning Post, hat
the two questions are entirely sep
arate, that Korean independence has
already been secured by convention
and that as Manchuria was restored
to China by Japan at the instigation
of European powers, she naturally
cannot consent to it's occupation by
Russia.
The correspondent of the Daily Mail
at Kobe quotes the Hcchi Shimun of
Toxic to the effect that the diplomatic
corps of the Jaranese capital have no
hope of a peaceful settlement Of the
pending difficulties. Even Baron
Shibusawa, at meeting of the bank
ers' union, advocated war although the
interest OF the bankers is logically in
the direction of peace.
