BROWN IS IN THE EAST
TO INSPECT HORSES
He Is Enthusiastic Over Broom
sticks Chances for the
Coming Season.
HAS PROMISING STABLE,

NEW YORK, Jan. 16-Capt. S. S. Brown
is in the East for the first time this win
ter Il think" said Captain Brown, that
my Western stable will make a record dur
ing the season to come. They are in all
the Derbies and the Oaks. and for these
events | have sent down there Auditor,
Conjurer. Proceeds and Audience three
colts and one flly. They ought to be able
to hold their own. and l think they will.
Proceeds is in class all his own. He is
the one colt that | have ever known that
can run fast in the mud as he can on
fast track, and he can go all day. He viii
be campaigned through the South, and
then, when his usefulness is over there

pended upon for the Derby engagements,
and Audience will be sent for the Oaks
Il think that BroOmstick Will again make
his mark" said Captain Brown yesterday.
The little fellow has improved a whole
lot since he was retired last year. He
has grown out and filled, and, although he
is not as big as might be, he is a racehOrse
all over. The boys are particularly well
pleased with him, for he has developed a
most voraciOus appetite and will eat all
the oats that are placed in front or him.
The only fear they have is that he will eat
so much he will blow up. He has length
ened and brOadened, and l am quite sure
that now he will measure 15.2 in height.
This is a colt that | have been disap-
pointed in ever since the Futurity, for
thought he had great chance in that
event. But he grabbed himself and was new
er prominent in the running. The chances
are that he was overdOne before that race
and had too much racing. II looked to me
on that day that he was little sour Still,
he always ran game and resolute, just as
he did on that afternoon when there was
no chance of his winning There was al
ways a race in him. and he invariably
ran liz. "

JESSIE TURNKEY WILL
SELL BLIND STALLION
Reconsiders His Proposition Not
to Sell Rhythmic, Trotter,
2 :o6 "a.
INTERESTED IN RUNNERS

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. 16.-Jesse Tur-
ney, owner of the famous blind trotting stall
lion rhythmic. 2:06%, has reconsidered his
announcement of last year that he would
never dispose of the feet son of Oakland
Baron. Turney has had several big offers
for the horse and is now considering the
advisability of parting with him outright
or retaining only, an interest in the blind
wonder His reason for disposing of the
sensational horse is the fact that he owns
no other trotters, and with his brother
Amos Turney. is interested in a stable Of
running horses and a thoroughbred breed
ing stud. In his opinion to hold Rhythmic
calls for an investment in the purchase of
a number of mares to breed to him. and this
entails the undertaking Of the backing Of
trotting stud as well as a thoroughbred
establishment, and on account of his ad-
vanced years Turney has decided to let the
great money winning trotter OF 1902 pass
into other hands.
Aside from the brilliant races he won and
his phenomenal record rhythmic has made
himself most valuable in a breeding way by
the fact that all of the thirty-twO mares
bred to him last spring are reported to be
In foal. To be a sure foal-getter is a val
liable trait in any stallion. and being a
| famous racehorse and royalty bred as well,
trotting breeders regard rhythmic as a stall
lion almost priceless. To the sportsmen few
horses have endeared themselves i'm the
estimation OF this fraternity as has this son
| of Oakland Baron. The fact that the brown
horse is blind has made his career pa

MEAT MEN OBSERVES LAW
INSPECTOR COSTIGAN FINDS LESS
BAD BEEF TO CONDEMN THAN
IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

Wyman Costigan, the health depart
ment's meat inspector, was able to pre-
vent the sale of 1896 pounds-nearly ten
tons-of tainted meat in 1903. This is
nowhere near some of his former records
but the showing indicates that meat deal
ers and commission men are observing
the law more carefully. In fact Mr. Cos
tlgan, In his annual report, states that he
mas had the hearty cooperation of the
commission men in discouraging or pre-
venting country dealers from shipping in
products likely to be condemned
In addition to the commission houses
there are 210 retail meat markets in the
city, and most of them are run as if the
owners We're trying to observe the laws
The compulsory killing of diseased cat
tie by the state has materially helped to
reduce the quantity of bad beef on the
market, but Mr.. Ccstigan says the in
spectlon should be extended to family
cows as we'll in order to make the work
as effective S possible.
The items making up the ten tons of
condemned meat are as follows: Beef.
6,O3l pounds; pork, 1888 pounds; veal,
7,49O pounds; mutton 1, FOL pounds: pouI-
try, l,O95 pounds; sausage, SIS pounds; fish,
l,793 pounds, and 80 gallons of oysters.
In the year Mr.. Costigan made 1898
inspections, of which $3.50 were of COM
mission houses, 3.346 to wholesale houses
and 2,S02 to retail meat markets

POLICE SUPERINTENDENT CON-
ROY SAYS THEY AREN'T RUN
MING ILLEGALLY AND HAVE
IMPROVED THEIR CONDITIONS.

r. Superintendent e. J. Conroy of the
pollce department says the Columbia
and Park theaters will be allowed to
run until he receives orders from rec
ognized authority to close them
The saloons connected with the
theaters have been closed saial the
superintendent to-day, and will not
be reopened unless the council says so,
for the proprietors have applied for
a revocation of the liquor licenses.
j. G. Sodini and John Hart have
made applications for theater licenses
under the ordinance passed by the
council last December and have de-
posted the license fees. It has been
customary when applications for
license have been made and the fee
deposited, to allow business to be car
ried on and [ see no reason why So
DIM and Hart should be excepted from
the general rule. After personal OBJ
servation, L can say that there is no
comparison between the present and
former conditions. In the first place
no liquor is sold or consumed within
the theater and this removes the one
great evil Then more care is exer-
cised in the admission of boys.
Whether the theatrical performance is
meritorious or not is question for
the dramatic critics to decide and not

MAY COME FROM
A "BABY FARM
POLICE PUZZLED BY MANY CASES
OF INFANT ABANDONMENT.
Think One Person Is Responsible
Clue in Connection With Child Left
Residence Yesterday - Unknown
Woman Makes Inquiries by Phone.

Within two hours from the time
that a baby was left on the Doorstep
of the residence of Mrs! "A. C. Wheat
on, 1929 Second streetotN, yesterday
morning, woman called up the desk
sergeant at police headquarters and
said: &@aJ =
81 heard that a baby was left or
a doorstep in North Minneapolis this
morning. I would like to get that
baby, as 1 have no children of my
own. Can you tell me what was done
with it and where I can get it,"
Desk Sergeant Maedder Informed
the woman that the infant had beer
taken by Police Matron Schaeffer, and
that she could get information con-
corning the child by calling on the
matron. The woman thanked him
for the information and hung up the
phone. AS she did not call on, the
matron, the officers think she had
some motive in trying to learn the
disposition Of the child. They sus-
pect that she knows something
about it's Identity and Of the person
who placed it on the doorstep.
The police, feel that they have a
hard problem to deal with in solving
the mystery surrounding the nu1ner-
Gus cases of infant abandonment in
North Minneapolis. That there is
some one Individual who is RESPONSE
BILE for these cases they are certain
but the identity of that person is a
problem they have not yet been able
to solve.
A little more than year ago, with
in a fortnight, two infants were left
on North Minneapolis doorsteps. Since
then there have been other cases, and
the police have not yet been able to
find any evidence against the sus-
pected persons.
One significant thing in connection
with all of the cases is the fact that
the person who abandons the infants
always selects the home of some poor
person who is unable to care for the
little one, and is Compelled to turn
it over to the police, who ultimately
place it in a home for foundlings. The
officers think that this indicates that
the infants must come from some
baby farm" and that the proprietors
of the farm are unable to place the
children in the home without the aid

OUTLET FOR PARKWAY
THE EAST RIVER-BANK DRIVE
MAY BE LED OUT THRU THE
STATE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS.

a., The park. ission is consider
ing a project to connect the boule-
ward thru the university campus with
the East Riverbank parkway. At
the present time this fine drive is not
much used, largely because it does
not begin or end anywhere and has
no connection with any well-known
thorofare. On the north, the drive
ends on the bank of deep cut in
which the Northern Pacific railway
runs.
The parkway can be easily reached
but strangers and many residents do
not always know the way. It is only
a block away from Pleasant street.
which is boulevarded thru the cam
pus and under the control of the park
board. To connect the two drives, it
is now proposed to open boulevard
along the south of the Northern Pa
cific right of way from the Pleasant
street bridge to the East Rverbank
parkway. A strip of about 100 feet
wide will be required, and it is be-
lieved that 1t can be secured for q
few hundred dollars. Fl
The park board has ordered a plat
of the land needed, and this has been
made so that the board is in position
to consider the matter at it's next
meeting. -
