STOPPED BETTING
At DELMAR TRACK
WHEN GOV. FOLK THREATENED
TO SEND TROOPS.
Then Sheriff Herpel Got Busy and
Arrested a Bookmaker Who
Promptly Gave Bail.

st. Louis, Mo, June 26.-Stirred to
activity by the threat of Governor
Folk that he would send detach.
ment of troops to Delmar track to
enforce the law if the county author
tiles refused to act, Sheriff Herpel
marched into the betting ring as the
horses were going to the post in the
first race this afternoon and arrested
Bookmaker Charles Celia, brother of
Louis Celia, of the Cella-Adler-Tilles
combination. The raid looked like
a "frame-up" inasmuch as the sher
iff did not enter the ring until all
the bookmakers, excepting Mr.. Celia,
had gone out 10 see the race run.
Celia, however remained on his
stool until the sheriff came up and
told him that he was under arrest
and that he would be taken to Clay
ton and locked up. Celia simply told
him to go ahead and pulled on his
coat. The sheriff then left him it,
charge of a deputy and went over
to Frank Shannons stand and seized
and locked a cashbox that had beer
left there. The sheet writer, who
had been in charge of it made off
and the sheriff made no attempt to
follow him.
The bookmakers who left the bet
ting enclosure to see the race made
no attempt to return and the last
five races were run without public
betting. The track authorities de-
clared that the meeting will be con.
tinued but inasmuch as the sheriff
seems to have made up his mind to
enforce the law it is believed here
week.
The governor took up the ques.
| tion of enforcing the law early TO-DAY
when he sent for a legal opinion as
to the power of the sheriff and the
county authorities. He was inform.
ed that the charter of the city of
| st. Louis conferred power on the
police of that city to make arrests
| for violations of the law without
warrant and Immediately he got into
communication with the st. Louis
authorities. What action he contem
plated taking or what satisfaction he
| got from the police is unknown but
early in the afternoon he Informed
the newspaper representatives that
either the St. Louis police or com
pany of the Missouri National Guard
would raid the betting ring within
"a hours and enforce the law Soon
after he made this public announc
ment Sheriff Herpel acted, and tha
betting at Delmar ceased
Celia was promptly bailed for ap
pearance before grand jury.

LITTLE HOPE FOR
UBERO INVESTORS
RECEIVERS REPORT TO UNITED
STATES COURT.
Stockholders Likely to Lose Every
Dollar invested-Rubher Trees
Can't Be Tapped Like
Naples.

The receivers of the Ubero Planta-
tion Co., an Indiana concern that
scooped up the money. of trusting
friends, and which was headed by an
ex-congressman of the district, have
made their report to the United States
circuit court. The stockholders of the
company will probably lose every dol
lar. The report says:
There are 700 acres of rubber trees,
to be sure, which might possibly pay
some returns on the investment, but
they cannot be tapped for five years AT
least. The cultivation of rubber trees
in Mexico is an experiment, and the
receivers are unable to say whether
the soil is suitable.
THE pineapple planting turned out
failure, and the 600 acres of coffee
trees also failed. Other attempts to
raise coffee in the vicinity failed, owing
to the low altitude.
"Of course the stockholders have al
ready received in faxed dividends S7O,-
333. AZ, which was supposed 10 be from
the sale of side crops The only side
crop that has been sold was one of
corn, which brought SLABS"
The report recites that the receivers
have met with considerable difficulty
in obtaining reliable information. 1t
says some of the officers have left the
state, and those within reach had but
little knowledge or were so directly
concerned with the matters under in
vestigation that it was inadvisable to
consult freely with them.
In commenting on the report, the
Boston Traveller says:
The report of the receivers of the
Ubero Company Is directly to the point
and easy to be understood by the pub
lie at large, features in which such re-
ports are commonly lacking
1t says in effect that this enterprise
was conceived in iniquity and lived
by fraud. 1t gives the details of the
swinule, names the persons who have
benefited by the money eXtorted from
the public, and portrays their decamp-
ing with their ill-gotten gains. If the
receivers of fake enterprises continue
to present reports of this nature, it will
be great thing for the community
since it will teach the unsophisticated
to beware of get-rich-quick concerns,
and will teach the officers of companies
organized to get money from the pub
lie without any intention of returning
| it, that there is such thing as the law,
and that 1t must be respected.
The general public can have little or
no appreciation of the powerful inter-
ests that combined to prevent the
showing up of this fraud, and this is
not the time nor the place to describe
them. Suffice it to say that the fact
that great forces antagonized the let
ting in of the light, makes the report
of the receivers all the more valuable
and significant.

Washington, June 26.--An investiga-

the construction at the Charleston navy
yard of a new dry dock was begun at

direction of Secretary of the Navy Dar-
ling. The two navy civil engineers,
j. w. d. Walker and Frederick r. Har-

HAYS COLLAPSE
CAUSES ALARM
CONDITION NOT REGARDED AS
SATISFACTORY.
Long Vacation and Course Of Treat.
ment Abroad Seems to Have
Been of Little Benefit.

Washington, d. c., June 26.-Secre-
tary Hays collapse is viewed with
grave apprehension by officials in
Washington. His associates did not
regard his condition as at all salts
factory when he returned to work at
the state department. Despite his
long vacation and the course of treat
ment abroad, he appeared to have
gained little in health and was stin
quite weak.
Secretary Hay remained in Wash
ington only four days, and transacted
official business for only three days
of that time. In conversation with
his friends he expressed himself as
greatly refreshed by his trip abroad,
but did not appear to be in the best
of spirits. He held several conf
ferences with the president at which
the situation in the far east was gone
over thoroughly, and the president
also called him into consultation in
settling the Bowen-Loomis contro.
versy. Mr.. Hay was personally a
friend of Mr.. Bowen, but it is under
stood that he regarded Mr.. Bowen S
course in publicly assailing the in
tegrity of Mr.. Loomis as reprehen-
sible, and concurred in the president S
decision to dismiss him from the ser
vice.
1t is said that he took the publicity
given to the alleged scandal in the
state department, connected with the
Bowen-Loomis inquiry, greatly to
heart, and this is supposed to have
been a great source of worry to
him.
Another source of worry has been
the spread of movements in China
to boycott American trade because OF
the failure of the United States to
draw up a satisfactory treaty. Mr.
| Hay regarded this movement as n
most unfortunate development as
threatening 70 set at naught the
steps taken under his direction to fiX
| the "open door" in China. Mr.. Hay
was in favor Of granting certain con
cessions to the Chinese in the new
exclusion treaty, but his efforts were
defeated by congressional opposition
! The setback to the policy of the open
! door, to which he gave so much time
and attention, is said to have caused
| him much concern.

FOUND DEAD
After Being Convicted of Killing Man
to Whose Wife He Had Been
Attentive.

Mitlin, Pa, June 26.-Elwood Gar
man, convicted here last week of mur-
der in the first degree for having
caused the death of A. e. Murray. a
railroad man, to whose wife he had
been attentive, was found dead in his
cell in the Juniata county Jail today, a
suicide from carbolic acid. Garman had
shot Murray after some words over
Mrs. Murray and was convicted after
an exciting trial, in which his brother,
John M. Garman, former chairman of
the Democratic state committee, and
equally able counsel, had defended him.
On Saturday new trial was refused,
and on Sunday he refused to eat. To-
day the sheriff investigated and found
Garman dying, with two-ounce bottle
which he had almost emptied. He died
soon after. Where he secured the poi
son is not known.

Presence of $1,000 People.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 26-Shining
Star won the Derby today. OFF in the
front of the field, the game little
threeyear-old was never headed, and
breezed under the wire an easy win
ner six lengths ahead of Bricklayer
the only real contender in the race,
and Kingman finished last by threc
lengths.
Shining Star was all out at the fin

the result would have been the same
for any greater distance. Shining
Star was the best of the trio and In
that word Best" the whole of the
race is told, Through the entire
stretch he ran without feeling the
stinging blow of the whip and not
once were his sides cut with the
spurs. He ran strictly on his own
courage, and at the end was crowned
king of the Indianapolis derby by a
wreath of roses.
Fifteen thousand persons witnessed
tho fourth annual running of the
derby.
The weather was ideal; the track
