HORSES RUN DEAD
HEAT AT MEADOWS

SEATTLE, July 13.-For the first
time in the history Of the track a
dead heat was run at The Meadows
yesterday. The contenders were Ocy-
rohe and ORC Viva, and the horses
put up the most remarkable finish
ever Witnessed on the track, not only
coming under the wire even, but run
ming the last sixteenth without SO
much as a nose advantage, and so
close together that horse blanket
would have enyeloped them both.
At first the crowd yelled excitedly,
first for one horse and then for the
other, but when the decision of the
judges was flashed on the boards 1t
was accepted as the only one that
could have been given without the
risk of injustice TO one of the horses.
Milas won the hurdle, taking all
the jumps easily. Favorite fell over
the third hurdle and pitched his rider
over his head Gladys Bell led the
field home in the 51z-furlong event.

GOLDEN RULE" JONES. MAYOR
WHO MADE TOLEDO FAMOUS, DEAD

TOLEDO, O., July 13.-Samuel
Milton Jones, known as the Golden
Rule Mayor" died here last evening
from a complication of diseases. The
Immediate cause of his death was an
abscess on his lungs. When the alb
scess broke the mayor was not strong
enough to throw off the poison from
his system, and death resulted.
The funeral has been arranged for
Friday afternoon, and the remains of
the mayor will lie in state at Memori-
al hall on Thursday and Friday until
noon.
Toledo's Golden Rule mayor
was one of the most prominent men
in the country. That he became prom
inent through advocating the Golden
Rule in politics and business, and
the doctrine of the brotherhood of
man, is undenied, but his charming
personality has, since he first became
a public character, impressed itself
strongly upon all with whom he came
in contact.
S. M. Jones became known out
side of Toledo when in 1897 he was
nominated as the Republican candi-
date for mayor, Jones won in a can
ter and pulled the ticket through
with him.
Once in office, the quiet manufac-

This victory attracted the atten-
tion of the country to Jones, and in
1900, petitiOned by thousands, he be-
came the non-partisan candidate for
governor. The number of votes he
ceived astonished the politicians of
both parties, and, it is said did much
to defeat John r. Mclean, the Demo-
cratic candidate.
During this campaign the famous
Jones slogan, 81 am man without
a party, a free, untrammeled soul, -
was coined by the mayor, and has
since been used with telling effect
among his constituents.
In 1901 and 1903, deserted by the
men who had helped elect him, be-
cause he did not give them political
preference, Jones made his CAM
paigns practically unassisted. He
employed one or two men to rent
halls and scatter his literature, while
with the Golden Rule band he sang
his way into the hearts and votes of
the people. His defeat of General
McMaien in 1901 was the culmina-
ton of his triumph, for McMaken had
never been defeated for Office in city
or county and was the strongest man
that could be brought against Jones.
In business Mayor Jones was as
democratic as the principles he adj

enough, the old planks We're piled
along the side of the road and the
way barricaded so that the only way
people could get through the block
was by walking in about four inches
of dust in the middle of the street.
On both sides of The sidewalk line
there is a strip of hard ground from
two to four feet wide, which would
have made a good footway for the
time being. The contractors, how
ever, with the usual consideration
shown the people On this street, put
up their barricades in such way
that these strips were not accessible
There were no lights on the barri-
cades last night and several people
who did not know that the walk had
been torn up came to q realization
of the situation only after they had
bumped into a pile of old planks.
The same condition prevails in
other parts of the city In some
places the sidewalks have been torn
up for two months.

of the work being done is in the
nature of cleaning up and getting
odds and. ends together. Several hun
dred policemen are within easy reach
of the yards should trouble appear.
Demands Are Reasonable.
President Donnelly of the Butch
ers' union this morning said to a
Scripps News Association man that
all that is being asked of the packers
is that 1S1a cents per hour be the
minimum pay for laborers, and in
view of the fact that the average
working time in nearly all depart
ments is less than 40 hours per week,
it could readily be seen that the
demands of the unions are reasona-
BILE. All the Independent companies,
Donnelly said, are paying a much
higher rate than the union asks the
trust companies to pay.
