THE "BOOKIES" LOSE
Estimated That the Bookmakers at the
Races at Benninss Are Out Over
$4,000 Financially as Result Of
Favorites Winning.

Special to Times-R Republican.
Washington, March 3o.-There We're
quite a number of distinguished book
makers here last night who had been
gle with the racegoers at the Bennings
track during Tuesday afternoon. All
claimed that the game was no good.
This spleen against the sport was due
to the fact that six favorites had se-
cured the judges decision and that the
ring was relieved Of at least $4,000
by their hackers.
1t is hard matter to ascertain ac-
curately the losses and winnings dur
Ing the days betting, but a personal
canvass of the ring by a reporter. re-

the thirty-tw layers lost over $1,000
each. Some of the big bookmakers.

missions, We're hard hit.
An idea of the amount Of money
taken from the ring, may be cleaned
from the fact that Callahan, a con-
servative bookmaker from Boston, lost
$4,000. This amount, he stated. was
in excess of any sum lost on any one
day last season at the big metropoli-
tan tracks.
The biggest winning was made on
Andrew Mack, Frank Farrells 3-year
old maiden, who galloped home with
the fourth race. This colt is fast
son of CharaXus, was played by his
stable heavily in order to pay for his
feed during the winter.
Farrell was undecided last fall
whether to sell or keep him. Finally he
him in the race yesterday with the
avowed intention OF betting enough on
him to make his keep come out Of the
bookmakers' bank accounts. This he
accomplished, for Andrew Mack

furlongs with his head close to his
chest in 1:16A, the best time made

The racing was close and exciting

finished third, closed UP a big gap from

of subsidiary silver coinage that may
be outstanding are hereby removed.
Several acts of congress for the pur-
pose of regulating the coinage of sub
sidiary silver have tended to confuse
the general understanding as to what
the law is as it now stands. 1t is be-
lieved by the treasury department that
the outstanding subsidiary silver is
limited by the act of 1900 TO 100000
600, with the exception of the bullion
purchased under the Sherman law OF
1890. This silver is about exhausted,
so that the limit for all practical pur-
poses is $1o0,000,000. The amendment
is offered at the request of Secretary
Shaw, who sent to the finance commit
tee q letter stating the necessity for
an act to clear away existing confus-
ion.

Des Moines, March 30.-The bill to

this morning by a vote OF 81 TO .. me
bill provides that the esoahlsh-

pass the senate.
The bill which passed the house
few days ago limiting the time of Ia
Dor of railroad employees to sixteen
hours continuous labor, was unani-

committee on railroads for indefinite
postponemcnt this morning, after hear

passed the house under an agreement
that it would not be opposed by any
body.
Now that the legislature has provid-
ed that the banks which receive the
state money shall pay interest to the
state on deposits held, the Legislature
will soon pass bill requiring that the
state shall pay for the bond OF the
state treasurer and his deputy. Des

AN OLD MURDER RECALLED.
No clew to the Killing Of Jesse
Palmer, of Fort Madison.

Palmer, of Fort Madison.
Special to Times Republican.
Fort Madison, March 30.-Nearly
seven months have passed away and
the murder of Jesse o. Palmer, a for
mer Fort Madison citizen, remains as
great a mystery as ever.
1t will be remembered that on Sep
tember 2, 1903, he expressed his valise
to Kansas City, where he had secured
a position with an ice company ,and.
later in the day bid his wife and par
ents goodbye and started down town
expecting to leave shortly for the west.
With only a limited amount of money
and the coming expense of making a
new home in the west for his family,
the man decided to avoid the expense
of a ticket to Kansas City and entered
a box car of thru freight Sep
tember 5, the Associated Press columns
announced the fact that the body OF
J. O. Palmer had been found in car
loaded with iron and consigned to Los
Angeles, Cal, at Ration, New Mexico.
Several days prior to this convict was
released from the penitentiary, who re-
a1nHned around town, seemingly with
very little money, until after the depar-
ture of Mr.. Palmer. when he appeared
with plenty OF money and a new gold
watch, and in view Of the fact that
rumor was current that Sante Fe
employee, who knew Mr.. Palmer when
he worked for the company, had seen
him enter the car With another man.
many believe that Jesse 0. Palmer met
his death at the hands of the ex-con-
Wet tramp who shot him as he lay
asleep and then robbed the dead
body.
The fellow made good his escape
when the news of the finding of the
lbody was received here and has never
been heard of, and the mystery will
probably remain unsolved thru all time
to come

provides that where an act is COM

person in another state it shall be held
that the act was completed here. or if
committed outside the state the con-
