RICHMOND TO GET
MANY BIG GAMES
Over Six Thousand People Saw
the Football Contest on
Thursday.

Exact estimates as to the number OF
people who came to this city thursday
to witness the football game are diff
or1t "a obtain as tho railroads have
not vet made up their reports. and can
only tell approximately. The Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway is estimated to nave
hauled at least 2,ooo people, ana some
statements place the number at z,5po.
The Seaboard Air Line brought ABOUT
200; the Southern about 400: the Coast
Line about 400, and the Norfolk and
Western which ran no special tra'n'
landed upwards of 200, Making no al
lowance for those who came TO the city
two or three days before the game. II
Is estimated that the number OF visitors
coming by rail was in the aggregate
fully $500.
OF this number practically all went out
10 see the game. This would make
gthe number Of out-of-toWn people there
upwards Of four thousand. and Rlchmono
contributed at least three thousand moro.
Many conservative estimates by persons
4 experienced in Judging crowds places the
total number who saw the game at more
than G0N0 and many say 1000
Mr.. Murray Mcclure, who had charge
OF the arrangements for the game here
was out of the city yesterday. and hence
the exact statement of the gross re-
cpts could not secured. Certainly IL

that the Virginia Military lnstitute-Vir-

thOugnC OF anything except trying to
straighten matters"
HIS DOUBLE LIFE.
Though McKowen had posed as hon
est among his associates at the uni
versity and with those in whose close
company he was thrown by business
and social relations in the college, there
was another side to his life. Horses
were not his only game, nor the race
track the only channel into which the
university's dollars were thrown so
prodigally. He enjoyed the life where
the lights burned brightly while glasses
clink and gay women smile.
To the followers of the racing game
McKowen was a familiar figure. He
ranked as one of the "old timers" in
the betting ring, and so well known
was he that he had the privilege of
credit at more than one book During
many of his visits to the racetrack he
was accompanied by Mrs. Joseph
Dieves, widow of Joseph Dieves, who
for many years managed a resort on
the San Leandro road. It was strongly
limited at one time that the pair were
to be married. That the woman ever
received any financial benefit from Nc
Kowen's stealings is denied.
Mrs. DieveS was not at her home last
night but a friend authorized to speak
for her said: 1T is true that McKowen
and Mrs. Dieves were together a great
deaT about two years ago, but within
the last year they have seen very lit
tie of each other. In fact, it might al
most be said that their friendship has
ceased. have been with them myself,
but McKowen always kept within the
means Of a man living on a salary. 1t
was only in the matter of his betting
that 1 ever heard any question as to
where he got his money. He never
gave Mrs. Dieves a single present dur
ing their whole acquaintance. We three
have been to dinner together, but the
dinners were inexpensive.
"McKowen was very secretive.
never knew whether he had lost or
won when I have been at the track
with him, and 1 never knew whether it
was his own or somebody else's money
he was playing
Last year he did some very heavy
playing, and not long ago saw him one
day with his pocket full of twenties at
the track. With people with whom he
went around he spent money as they
did, and he gave very little of it
away"
McKOWEN'S CAREER.
McKowen left England early in life
and came to California as a sailor and
took clerkship in the office of the sec
retary of the university. At that time
he was 20 years of age. He was hard
worker and won several deserved pro-
motions TTDdpr the regime Of the late
Secretary Bonte he was assistant sec
retary and did the main portion of the
work attached to the Office of his chief.
The next man to fill the position was
E. w. Davis, who was in falling
health. This virtually gave McKowen
control Of the office affairs, but
