This cry. followed by a shutting of
feet and the sudden rush OF man IN
headlcng flight. startled the crowd in
the betting ring of the Morris Park track
yesterday. Before the men gathered
around Bookmaker Joe Ross had re-
covered from their surprise the thief
had wiggled his way through the crowd
and escaped.
1t is rare to have a thief try to rob a
bockmaker Of his cash, but it was the
second time 1t had occurred on a New
York track in twelve months. The light
fingered looter missed his prize, how
ever. and secured less than $40.
While Joe Roses cashier was busiIy

The cashier looked up and yelled the
alarm. When an inventory Of the cash

STEWARDS INVESTIGATE
RACE OF THE FIDDLER
Winning Long Shot Said to
Be No Ringer.
HORSE IS NOT MCNAMARA
Morris Park Racing officials Will Reach
Final Decision in the Case
Today.

The stewards representing the Jockey
Club, and acting for the Westchester
Racing Association at the race meet
ing in progress at the Morris Park
course. yesterday were busy with an in
vestigation OF charges that have been
made TO the effect that The Fiddler,
winner of the last race on Saturday.
was ringer" and was not the horse
he was represented to be.
The first complaints that there had
been fraud came from the West, where
It is alleged The Fiddler was backed
heavily in poolrooms. The report had
been in circulation in Western cities
that instead of The Fiddler. who is
known to be a horse OF but little merit.
another horse, known as Mcnamara,
would be raced in The Fiddler's name.
At Morris Park the horse also was
backed for small amounts by horsemen
who had seen him tried at the Brighton
Beach course. where he was trained
BY great good luck he managed to last
In front Just long enough to win by a
short head from another 20 to 1 chance,

Animal S'uspicN ned.
There had been some suspicion of the
animal before he was permitted to run.
and the horse had been subjected to in
spection, to prove that he was the ami
NAL entered, the racing officials then
finding that he answered to the recorded
description of The Fiddler in the stud
book. as bay gelding. five years old,
by Falsetto- Cachuca. The stewards
were called to act further in the mat
ter, however. by the reports from the
West. and yesterday 7. T. Cromwell, the
owner and trainer OF the horse, was re-
quired to bring him before the stewards
and show him before horsemen who had
seen Tho Fiddler in the West for iden-
tification.
Owner Produces Horse.
Cromwell willingly produced the horse
Just before the races were ended. and
many racing men looked him over, with
the result that those who knew the
horse Mcnamara declared that the win
ner OF Saturdays race was not the same.
while other horsemen who knew The
Fiddler were equally sure of the horse s
identity as The Fiddler.
Veterinary surgeons also found the
suspected animal was a hve-year- old. as
described. while the records show that
Mcnamara is two years older The
stewards seemed to be convinced there
had been no such fraud as alleged. but
postponed final decision, to permit of
any new evidence that may be brought
forward in the case Cromwell, who
brought the horse to New York, agreed
to have him ready at any time that ne
might be called for. but to prevent the
chance Of deception the animal was
placed under the surveillance OF Pinker-
ton detectives until today. when the
stewards will reach final decision on
the case.
Racing men assert the only suspicious
thing in connection with the race was
that anyone should have bet ever mod
crate sums on so poor a horse as The
Fiddler was in the West.

OFFICIALS DECISION HooTED
Three Records Shattered in One Day at
Morris Park by Selling
Platers.

What is known as the reversible
angle" played an important part in the
result of the fifth race at the Morris
Park track yesterday. In a close finish
between CastaIian and LUX Casta the
latter appeared to have a heads ad-
vantage over the former horse as they
flashed past the post. Much to the sur
prise Of the oniookers. Castalian was
awarded the race BIZ the judges.
There were probably two thousand
men who disagreed with the judges in
this race, the Westchester lightweight
Handicap. Among the number were men
who have watched races for twenty
years and have placed horses officially
for various racing associations. Not one
of these eorroborated the placing which
gave the race to Castalian.
The decision was on par with the
verdict OF the judges who awarded
August Belmont's Beldame the Great
FiIly Stakes over Senator P. II. Mccar-
ren's Ocean Tide. The same men-Clar-
ence Mcdowell and c. H. Pettingill-
were responsible for the placing Of the
horses in both races-decisions that were
not in accordance with the public view
of the result, and which will ever remain
unsatisfactory

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STOMACH.
Upon Its Condition Depends
Happiness or Misery.

Perhaps one of the most frequent
complaints of the stomach is constipa-
tion of the bowels, or continuous cos
tiveness.
When your food rests so solidly
on your stomach that nature re-
fuses to remove it, and usually resort
to some common physic which, while
affording you some relief, acts SO sud-
denly on the parts affected as to shock
and weaken them.
THE BOWELS, like balky horse,
to work properly must be coaxed,

Miners Bills Vetoed.

Three bills advocated by the United
Mine Workers have been vetoed by Gov
ernor Pennypacker, who also signed a
bill endorsed by both the miners and
the anthracite coal operators. The
measures the Governor vetoed are known
as the Garner eighth hour bill; the Hayes
bill making 2,240 pounds the basis from
which to calculate the earnings of min
ers, and the Garner bill, to provide for
the election, instead of appointment by
the courts, Of mine examining boards.
These three bills applied only to the
anthracite regions. At hearing by
the governor recently counsel and Off
cals of all the leading anthracite coal
companies appeared in opposition to
them.
The measure approved by the COVER
nor is know as the Quail bill, and raises
the age limit of children employed In
and around the anthracite and bitum-
inous mines from Ia to 16 years. This
measure was recommended by the Coal
Strike Commission, and there never was
any doubt Of its approval by the COVER
nor.
The governor raises no objection to
the purpose of the Hayes bill, but takes
exception to the provision that it shall
not 60 into effect until 120 days after
the governor shall have signed it, which
he criticises as an attempt to play
certain pranks with legislation"
Not long ago, however, the governor
signed the bill increasing judges sal
aries, though it does not go into effect
until January next.
The mine workers of this region are
displeaSed and disappointed over Cover
nor Pennypackers vetoes OF the bills.
