NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Jockey Cochran Set Down for Two
Weeks for Fouling.

This winter there has been any amount of
rough riding at the New Orleans Jockey
Club track. Boys have had their lives en-
dangered time and time again, but until
yesterday the stewards have taken no real
action to keep the rough riders down. Yes
terday Jockey Cochran was set down for
two weeks a result of his tactics in pilot
ing Ethics in the handicap. Ethics won,
but in doing so he carried st. Tammany
wide at the stretch turn and almost over
the outside fence in the rush through the
quarter stretch Jockey Cochran had no OPP
portunty to hide his work, because both
his mount and st. Tammany were running
free and there were but two other horses.
Boaster and Pettijohn, in the running to d.
vert the stewards attention.
The fouls-for there were more than one
were deliberate, and the changing of the
numbers on the finishing board aroused the
greatest possible enthusiasm, owing to the
fact that st. Tammany was the heaviest
backed favorite to go to the post in many
days.
ST Tammany was the logical favorite in
the handicap, owing to his ability to nego-
tate the going, and all the big players fol-
lowed the blonde plunger, Charlie Ellison,
in assaulting the books up and down the
line. ST. Tammany was played from evens
to 3 to 5 at post time. Pettijohn was the
second choice, but he went to the post lame
and was never a factor in the race. al
though he disposed of Boaster and received
second place after the disqualification.
Ethics was played by some wise people be-
sides the stable connection. and his price
dropped from to to ) to l. ST. Tammany
and Pettijohn raced out in front for time,
but the latter soon died away. Ethics join
ed the leader at the turn from the back
stretch and from there to the wire the
horses ran head and head. After the nu-
merous fouls st. Tammany looked like a
sure winner, but Ethics finished with a wild
burst of speed, and beat the favorite a
short neck. 94N ~
1t was cold and dreary at the fair grounds.
and the attendance was the smallest of the
meeting. Three fayorites and three good

POOL ROOMS ROBBED.
Davis Syndicate in New York Said TO
Have Lost $500, 900.

After having been closed several days.
most of the pool rooms belonging to the
Davis syndicate in New York are again
open but most of them are controlled py
new managers.
1t is now known that Davis merely mace
the raise in the price of its news service
by a telegraph company an excuse Tor
closing his rooms He quit business tenn
porarify because he learned that for nearly
six months he had been Systematically
robbed by men he had trusted implicitly.
He suspected that something was going
wrong, as his losses had been phenomenai,
and he made many attempts to discover
the cause of the trouble Finally he found
it necessary to reorganze his entire system
of pool rooms to drive from his employ the
men who were robbing him.
1t will be impossible for Davis to learn
how much money was stolen from him by
his employees. According to the reports of
his most intimate friends, he has lost $780,
COO in the last five months.
On the metropolitan race tracks last year
Davis made the greatest book ever known
in the east. He was lucky from the earli-
est meeting. and hardly plunger in the
many thousands of dollars to Davis. He
was credited with having won on the en-
tire season SS50GO0.
Detectives whom he employed discovered
the leak in his pool room cash drawers 1t
is his opinion now that he knows who was
the prime mover in the conspiracy, but
there is nothing for him to do but accept
his punishment with the best possible
grace.

ADVERSE REPORT.
Local Board Opposes Transfer of Su
pervision of Certain Institutions.

The board of charities today submitted to
the Commissioners an unfavorahle report
on the bill "to transfer to the Secretary OF
the Interior such supervision of the Gov
eminent Hospital for the Insane. Freed
mans Hospital and Asylum, and the Wash
ington Hospital for Foundlings. as may
have been conferred upon the board OF
charities of the District. under the act
approved June 6, 1907
The report on the bill is identical with
that submitted in February, 1902, by the
board of charities on similar measure.
The board states that no adequate reasons
are given which the transfer proposed
should be made.
In regard to Freedman's Hospital the re-
port states that since 1898 the institution
has been supported by District appropria-
ton and is to all intents and purposes a
part of the charitable system of the Dis
trict. The board agrees with the Secre-
tary of Interior that the divided control of
the institution existing at present is I'M

FIGHT AFTERMATH.
O'Brien Will Meet Ryan Again in
Longer Contest.

The consensus of opinion in Philadelphia
regarding the fight Wednesday night be-
tween Jack OBrien and Tommy Ryan is
that it was a great battle. After thinking
the bout all over they of the opinion
that 1T was a rather different kind of a
fight after O'Brien knocked Ryan down in
the fifth round. They are still wondering
just what it all meant. O'Brien knocking
Ryan down and then Ryan all but finishing
o Brien. and yet not really doing so.
OBrien has a kick coming as to the
weight of the gloves wherewith he fought.
These were furnished. according to clause
in the agreement, by Tommy Ryan.
Ordinarily the weight of contest gloves is
five ounces Jack claims those which he
was required to Wednesday night
weighed six and half ounces.
His friends unite with him in the aSSer-
tion that this fact had an important bear
ing on the result, and that had the usual
five-ounce gloves been used o Brien's show
ing would have been even better than 1t
was.
O'Br:en. who is in Philadelphia. says:
RYAN is one of the easiest men to hit
that / ever boxed with and L am just as
sure as | am standing here that L can win
from him in longer bout or even in an
other six-rouad affair. The fifth round of
Wednesday nights bout was my own fault.
l grew careless after saw that had such
an easy proposition before me, and one or
two of Ryan's blows on the stomach put
me in distress. Another time l would be
more careful. and l am sure that l can
make big a monkey of him as | did in
the first four rounds of Wednesday nights
fight / am willing to meet Ryan at any
time place, and for any amount. / am
even willing to box him. winner take all. -
Ryan was around bright and early In the
Quaker city yesterday morning and said:
II want to get that fellow in a bout of
fifteen twenty rounds. and then you will
see just who is the better man. He weighs
many pounds more than do. but at that
l had him beaten, and no one knows ii bet
ter this morning than o. Brien does. / adj
nit that he very nearly had me in the first
part of the fifth round, but came back all
right from that punch in the jaw. / can
whip OBrien any day in the week. and If
ever we meet again there will be no posi-
bility of me being caught off my guard
again..
After the bout Wednesday night Manager
Gallagher of the Mauch Chunk Athletic
Club offered the two men 20 per cent of the
receipts to meet at his club Mr.. Gallagher
offered to build a suitable arena and post
forfeit to pull on the fight without police
interference. O'Brien has accepted the
offer and Ryan has 1t under consideration.
1t is likely also that an offer will be made
by Billy Considine of Detroit.
During the excitement in the fifth round
when OBrien was PROSTATE on the floor,
Kid Mccoy picked up the sponge and tried
to sprinkle water on the Philadelphia for
the purpose of reviying him. Some one
logged his elbow and the sponge slipped
from his hand and hit o. Brien on the Shout
der Referee Crowhurst saw that 1t was
an accident and kicked the sponge out of
the ring. This is the explanation given for

for Chicago and turned back on the ao-
vice of his attorney, who told him that as
he had an iron-clad contract with Brush
he had better stay in New YORK, keep
Brush to the agreement and get his money.
II will further say that when Davis went
south with the New Yorks for practice he
paid his own way, got not a cent from the
club and was left behind when the CLUB re-
turned north. Well Brush was STUCK LOT

solely as a means of establishing test
case.
LAS it turned out, he could not play

STATUS OF COLLECTOR CRUM.
Secretary Shaw Transmits Statement
to the Senate

! In response to Senator Tillman's resolu-
tion, adopted by the Senate. calling for the
record of William ID. Crum's appointments
and his service as collector of the port of
Charleston. S. c., Secretary of the Treas
ury Shaw has sent to President pro Tenn
pore Frye the following letter:
William D. Crum was appointed col
lector at the port of Charleston. S. c..
March 20, 1903, and a temporary commits
sion issued. Mr. Crum qualified by exc
cutting bond for $4,000. and took oath OF
Office March 80 1903. Mr. Crum was again
appointed December Z, 1903. and has given
bond in the sum of $4,000. and took the
oath of Office on January 0, 1904. There
has been no third appointment, and no
fourth appointment. The same informal
ton is contained in a letter to Hon. B. r.
TiIlman. under date of January 8. 1904, and
which appears in the Congressional Rec
ord of January D. 1904.
THE resolution also asks: is Mr.. Crum
now in Office, and, if SO. under what au-
thority of law? William ID. Crum is dc
facto collector at the port of Charleston.
s. C. Whether he holds his position under
authority of law is determinable, not by
the executive department of the govern
ment, but by the judiciary, and by that
only. He is not receiving pay because of
the provisions of section 1761-'
