NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Big Ben, With Top Weight, Won
Handicap Easily.

The serenity of the bookmakers at the
New Orleans track was rather rudeIy dis
turbed In the third race yesterday after
noon by Richard Bauer and his MANY
friends. The young eastern horse owner de-
pieted the bank accounts of the layers for a
goodly sum when his filly Hymettus won.
1t was only overnight selling race

View Of W. J. Bryan as to Campaign
Methods.

A dispatch from New Haven. Conn, last
night says:
William j. Bryan was the guest OF honor
today at a banquet in Warner Hall, at
which about $50 democrats were present.
Gov. Garvin Of Rhode Island and Repre-
sentative De Almond of Missouri were
among the guests from other states.
The occasion took the form of a celebra-
ton Of Jackson day. and was also declared
by some of its promoters to be intended as
sort of prelude to the opening of the
presidential campaign in New England.
w. H. H. Hewitt was POSTMASTER. MIR.
Bryan's topic was "A Conscience Cam
paign." He said In part:
1.-THE word campaign suggests warfare.
1t Is good tactics to strike the enemy where
he is weakest and to use the weapons
which are most effective. The weak point
of every bad policy Is that it sacrifices hu-
man rights to selfish interests. and today to
prove system evil we only have to show
that it violates a sense of justice that is
satisfied with nothing less than equal rights
to all and special privileges to none. The
only appeal that Is permanent in its effec-
tivenesS and endearing in its usefulness Is
the appeal to conscience. and while it may
seem weakness to the brutal and folly to
the sordid. 1t arouses response that Ia at
least Irresistible.
IF We would touch the conscience Of
others we must give evidence that our con-
SClSuCc9 4IdSo DcSl QUkCAtEcO- no STSdt
issue at this time is the issue between man
and mammon-between plutocracy and de-
mocracy. All surface questions of policy OF
taxation and of regulation and of finance
are but phases OF that century-long. that
worldwide struggle between the common
people and organized wealth
ITO say that 1t does not pay for a nation
to violate the rights of the people of an
other nation involves so much of addition
subtraction. multiplication and division that
many get lost in a maze of mathematics
But to say that the wages of sin is death
is to give an epitome Of history that ac-
cords with each persons experience In
dealing with the trusts with finance, with
labor problems and with all the other ques-
tions at issue we must view them from
moral standpoint, and arraign every evil at
the bar of the public conscience
VIII 1t win? Nothing else will give per-
manent success. AS the martyrs who. eigh-
teen hundred years ago, kneeling in prayer
while hungry beasts devoured them, in
voked Power mightier than the iegions OF
Rome. today the same 1t is not only posi-
ple buf necessary, to appeal to that moral
sentiment which. when aroused will prove
more potent than the purse"
Mr.. Bryan left this city at midnight for

INQUEST OVER IRoQUoIS VICTIMS
Testimony Of James Strong Will Be
Prosecutors Main Reliance.

A dispatch from Chicago last night says:
1t Is expected that the city council will def
nitely determine the exact nature of the al
teratiens which would be demanded in all
Chicago playhouses before they are again
allowed to open The amended building or
dinance covering playhouses recommended
by council committee Is so long and the
pressure of other business Is SO great that
it has been decided to make the ordinance
the subject of a special meeting of the
council Thursday evening"
A resolution. was offered by Alderman
Hunter tonight, directing the council COM
mittee which has been examining theaters
and department stores also to investigate
the safety of hotels and club buildings.
The inquest over victims of the Iroquois
fire was resumed today.
James M. Strong testified that he, with
his mother and wife. bought standing room
tickets for the performance and were in
the first balcony. When the fire started
he left the balcony followed by his wife and
mother. and went to a door which proved
to be locked exit. He could not force the
door open. and breaking the transom with
his fist. climbed out. He found a man with
a lot of tools. The two men tried to break
down the door from the outside, but could
not. Then Strong pulled himself up into the
transem to pull his mother and his wife
out. While he was half way through the
transom flames filled all that part OF the
front of his eyes. He was so severely
scorched that his life was despaired Of
1t is on Strong's evidence that the state at
torney will largely rely II an attempt is
made to secure indictments in connection
with the fire.
George M. Dusenberry. head usher, tes-
titled that there were three doors leading
from the second balcony to the lobby, and
that one OF these was locked he having
fastened it himself with key. 1t was not
possible. he said, for anybody to open that
door without the key. = Dusenberry further
testified that all exits except those on the
north side of the house were unlocked. and
admitted that there were fully half dozen
attaches of the theater who had keys to
the doors.

IRoNCLAD CONTRACTS.
Jones and Davis Can Collect Salaries
Without Playing.

If there is any impression that the New
York National League club is trying to pre-
vent Davis and Jones from playing with the
Chicago Americans 1t is a mistaken one,"
said Secretary Knowles of the New York
club in Gotham yesterday. Before peace
was declared. when everybody was out
signing men in the rival league, We signed
Davis and Jones to two-year contracts
These contracts were cast-iron binding af-
fairs, and there is no way we can get out
of paying the amounts called for If the
players hold on to them. Davis reports
regularly, and Jones declares he won't go
back to Chicago, and our counsel has ad-
ytsed US that we must pay the amounts of
the contracts. We cannot force the play
ers TO 60 to Chicago. We would be glad
IL they would. 1t would relieve the situa-
tion and relieve us of paying the salaries
named in the contracts. In the meantime
We are not influencing them to stay away
from Chicago. With Delehanty II was DIFF
ferent We signed him to a three-year con-
tract. and he could have remained idle
and drawn his salary from US, but he re-
ported to Washington, and that relieved US
from our obligation.
When Mr.. Brush bought the club he
found these contracts in the safe. and 1t is
no fault of his that Davis and Jones refuse
to go to Chicago. Personally, think Jones
should be allowed to play here, as his time
of service with the Chicago club expired
before he was to report to u.s. and he was
with US Is for 1904 and 1900. and 1t Is too
bad for him to be kept out of the game or
to go to California, where he says he'll go
il he can't play here"
Barney Dreyfuss had letter yesterday
from Ban Johnson, who said that he would
be In New York two weeks from yesterday
for meeting of the schedule committees
of the two big leagues.

The New York Tribune Of today say

The New York Tribune Of today says:
The situation in the egg market has un-
dergone radical change and housekeepers
who have been struggling to feed their
families without this indispensable food are
breathing freely again. Eggs have gone
down eight cents in two days, namely. from
thirty-seven cents wholesale for freshly
gathered western and southern eggs to
twenty mine cents. As the refrigerator
stock is now nearly exhausted there is not
much difference between their prices and
those of the fresh eggs. This agreeable
change Is all the result OF the extremely
mild weather which followed the recent cold
spell.

Tommy Feltz of Bsooklya defeated George
Murray of Lynn in a ffteen-round go at
the Tammany A. c.. Boston, last night.
The pair fought very lively bout, and
Murray gave the Brooklyn boy all he want

The poor showing made by Feltz in his
recent bout with Chester-Goodwin caused
him to prepare for last nights battle with
more care. and the result was that he
stepped into the ring in prime condition and
showed all his former hard hitting ability
