RACING ON
new half
Mile TRACK

From the fact that after the first heat
in yesterdays races at Narraeansett
park, there were no programs 70 be Sc
cured. is good evidence that the officials
OF the association and the contractor that
furnished the score cards were way be-
hind in their estimates OF the crowd that
would be present. Long before o'clock
the big stand was comfortably filed with
an enthusiastic racing crowd, including
many women who are devoted to tho
horses. and during the course OF the
events the crowd proved itself capable
OF properly expressing enthusiasm at the
performances OF the racers.
The track was IN excelltn condition and
the horses were fit. the muggy weather
being the only feature that would detract
from the enjoyment
In the face OF the good racing this
trifling discomfort was practically un-
noticed while the heats were on, and tho
music of sig. Capone's band helped the
time TO pass very pleasantly between the
events.
The only fellows that showed the effects
OF the weather was the talent" the fell
lows who affect the high crowned light

cupied the stretch Many OF them were

There was no thought OF sartorial

and IL was certainly hot in the betting

HICHBALL SH0'f.

last month and one OF the best 3-year-
olds in training, broke his left foreleg

had TO be shot. Although his injury was

custom in such cases. until last night,
several hours after the accident. The
failure to end the colts suffering was
due to the fact that he was insured for

TO allow a bullet TO he fred into his head
until the insurance people had made a
formal examination.
Had the s. p e. A been represented at
the track there would have been no diliy-

men and women. II Is understood that

wanted to have him put out of his agony
IN the name Of humanity, Incidentally
waving the Insurance money, but May
was ocdurate, and when Bob Pinkerton

whole Pinkerton force cannot influence
me. The colt is insured for $4,000. and
this means a whole lot 20 me- He will
stay where he is untu the Insurance COM

Many trainers severely criticized May
for sending Hishball 10 the post at all,
for In the paddock before the race the
colt clearly favored his leg and went TO
the barrier so sore that experts predicted
that he would break down in the race.
The Sea Gate was a 3-year-old stake

Der Were Slain.

Lisbon, Oct Sin the chamber of
deputies the minister of marine has
made detailed statement of the re-
cent fighting in Portuguese Southwest
Africa, where a force Of 40 Portu-
guese, operating against the Guam
hamas, was ambushed by the tribes
men as 1t was crossing the Cunene
river. Two hundred and fifty-four of
the Portuguese were killed. The min
lister said that when the attack was
made the detachment formed In a
square which was subjected to a heavy
fire and at one moment had to defend
itself with bayonets The square was
not broken, but the irregular troops
became panic-stricken and were
thrown into confusion. A hand-to-
hand conflict, assegai against bayonet,
was the principal feature Of the en-
gagement. Reinforcements sent to the
relief Of the detachment succeeded in
saving only few of the wounded.

crossed the Cunene river with his

Phthisis of the Lungs Destroys All
Animal Life-Treachery of
Consumption.

st. Louis, Oct. 6.-That phthisis OF
the lungs cannot be cured was the
statement made to the International
tuberculosis congress, by DR.. Fred
Kolbenheyer, of st. Louis. He ex-
planned that a patient suffering from
consumption could live for years in ap-
parent health. but under favorable cir
cumstances the germ of the disease
would become active and destroy the
lung tissue. In cases of phthisis of
the lungs, the professor said, he had
discovered new germ, which together
with the germ that had hitherto been
known to doctors to destroy all ami
NAL life, existed only in the cases of
phthisis of the lungs.
The following officers were elected:
President, DR.. F. E. Daniels, Austin,
Tex; secretary, NJ. M. Smith, Austin,
Tex; treasurer, DR.. Clark Bell, New
York city. The congress adjourned
sine die.

mates the Mortality Among Vet
Grams of the Civil War.

Washington. Oct 6.-Soldiers Of "the
disappearing army" as the veterans
OF the civil war have been termed, are
dying at the rate of 100 every day from
sunrise to sunrise. This pathetic
showing is made by the quarterly
statement Of the pension bureau.
which has been given Out by Commits
sioner Ware. The mortality among
soldier pensioners Of all wars and
classes last year was 31,728 deaths, of
which 30,071 were volunteer soldiers
in the civil war Commissioner Ware
estimates that there are from 100000
to 100000 soldiers of the civil war who
are not on the pension rolls. These he
has designated as "the unknown
army" 1t is said fully $4,000 civil war
veterans pensioners and non-pension-
ers) died last year. Commissioner
Ware estimates further that the death
rate among the pensioners of all classes
at the close Of the present. year will
approximate $4,000.

ARRESTED AN AGENT
Citizens Of Morenci, Ariz., Objected
to Mexicans Adopting Orphans.
WERE SENT OUT FROM NEW YORK.
q. w. swayne, Representing the So
ciety, Wanted the Waits Placed
with Catholic Families, Who
Were All Mexicans.

Phoenix, Ariz, Oct. 8.-According
to the most reliable advices obtainable
regarding the troubles at Morenci.
Ariz., a mining town in Graham coun-
ty, over the alleged attempt to sell
foundlings from New York city, the
situation is not as serious as has been
reported. Reliable advices from Cliff
ton, a town near Morenci, are that 40
children were sent out by the New
York Founding and Orphan asylum.
Sixteen of these were placed In fami-
lies In Clifton, and "a taken to Morenci,
where the majority Of them were
placed with poor Mexican families.
The American residents Of Morenci OBJ
jected to the children being placed
with q class Of Mexlcans who, they
claimed, were entirely untitled to have
care Of them. An indignation meeting
was held in Clifton and resulted in
the arrest Of G. W. Swayne, the agent
OF the asylum, and the local priest
The people demanded that the chill
dren be put in the care Of American
families, but Swayne refused to do this,
and said he would take them back to
NV York. The purpose Of Swayne and
seems to have been to place
the children with Catholic families in
this section, of whom there are but
few except Mexicans. While charges
have been made that the children were
being sold, there appears to- be moth
Ing to substantiate this claim.
