WASHINGTON, March 19.-The ra-
cling season in the east will begin with
the opening of the Bennings meeting
this week. Owing to the pleasant
weather owners and trainers have
been sending their horses along in
their work in order to get them ready
for the opening. Nearly all the east
ern horses are backward. and for this
reason the many horses that have been
on the winter tracks will more than
hold their own this year.
The Bennings track has filled up
and stable room is at q premium. The
most forward horses seem to be those
in the stable of Billy Garth. He has
four candidates in the Jessie Brown
cup race for year Odds, and expects
to make strong bid for the prize. At
the present time there are very few
horses eligible for that race at the
track, but it Is expected that within
the next few days many others will be
there, and then some line on their
speed can be had.
The entries for the different stake
events which will be decided during
the meeting have been announced, and
the list contains many good perform
ers. In the Bennings spring handicap.

and In accordance with the plans al
ready formed. ordered a dozen eggs.
Schindeldecker not suspecting anything
out OF the way, came from behind the
counter and over to the egg barrel
which was near the door. AS he bent
over the barrel Hartmann dealt him a
terrific blow with timers hammer
he had concealed on his person and
Schindeldecker sank to the floor un-
conscious.
Going to the door, Hartmann sig
naied Gottschalk, who was keeping
guard on the outside a short distance
from the shop. and Gottschalk on re-
celving the signal walked slowly to the
shop and entered. Once on the inside
ne nailed down the latch on the door.
Butcher Sees Robbers
Both men then, the police reason,
dragged the unconscious butcher into
the rear room and were rifling his
pockets when Schindeldecker came to.
Staring wildly about him in a dazed
way the butchers gaze fell upon Gott-
schalk. Recognition lighted up his fea-
lures and Gottschalk knew the game
was off, 1t was then, the police say,
that the thought of murder flashed
through his mind, and running into the
front OF the shop, he grasped the first
weapon that came handy, a cleaver,
and returned to the rear room. Schin-
deldecker, realizing that he was going
to be murdered, put up a feeble re-
sistance. but was no match for the
murderer and in a few seconds his
Hfeless body was lying on the floor, the
blood streaming from score Of
wounds. The murderers then hurried
ly went through the cash drawer and
going through the rear of the shop out
into the yard, which is surrounded by
a high fence, bided their chance and
when the coast was clear slipped out
onto Banfil street and hurried to Gott-
schalk's room, 4S2 Goodhue street.
That no one saw the murderers was
one Of the many unaccountable things
that happen every day. Immediately
after the murder Hartmann began to
weaken and made the remark that
ended his life.

VANDERBILT LIKED TO
BET ON LONG SHOTS
Railroad Owner and Turfman
Had Betting Instincts of
the Piker
Special to The Globe

Speciai to The Globe
WASHINGTON, March ia num-
Der Of turfmen were discussing last
week at the Bennings track the pc
cultarities and idiosyncrasies of book
makers when the name of Virginia
Carol was mentioned. This started a
flow of anecdotes about the tall Vir-
gilman, the best story of which was as
follows:
You know how peculiar he was"
said a clerk who had worked for him.
While on the block doing business he
was simply a bundle of nerves and
fairly quivered with excitement. He
could not remain quiet or idle for a
moment, and every second was chang
ing the figures on his blackboard. This
was in the old days when states were
permitted in the ring. While busiIy
engaged one afternoon offering the
odds, shouting the prices and making
audible comments, w. X. Vanderbilt,
the railroad magnate and principal
owner of the Coney Island Jockey
club, wandered into the ring. Wander
bilt was not heavy bettor. In fact
ne was more of 'piker.' He dearly
loved to pick out some long shot in a
race that was quoted from so to 100 to
/ and bet IS, $40 or 500 on him, as
he felt in the mood.
"On this particular day and race
tnere was an OLD skate in the contest
that Carol thought so little of that
he offered so to 1 against him. Just
as he yelled out the price and begged
someone to bet on him Vanderbilt
pushed his way through the struggling
crowd and mumbling something, men
toned the name of the horse, at the
same time offering a 500 bill to Car
rol. What's that said Carol, look
ing at the bill, 800 on that 60 to 1
shot? What do you take me for, any,
how? With this remark he pushed
the bill back to the millionaire with
out recognizing the owner of the mon
ey. Vanderbilt took the money, at the
same time quietly remarking: No, I
don't believe you are a Vanderbilt.
don't recognize you as one of the fam
fly'"

CLASS MOTOR BOATS
WITH AUTOMOBILES
Massachusetts LEGISLATURE
Wants Same Law to
Govern Them


Special to The Globe
BOSTON, March ia bill for the Il
censing and regulating of power boats
has been introduced in the legislature,
which is likely to cause considerable dis
cussion. One of its provisions is that
motor boats, like automobiles, shall carry
state registry numbers; that they must
carry lights of color and character to
be prescribed by the legislature. and that
the practice OF speeding after nightfall
shall be prohibited because Of its extreme
danger. There is a large following for
the bill. which may become a law, one
of those favoring it declaring:
There is much which might be said in
favor OF the bill, and there is little except
the mere cost OF the numbers to he said
against the measure. The idea is follow
ing out that necessitated by law for auto
mobiles. and no one would consider today
the repeal of the law which makes il
necessary for these vehicles to carry
numbers; as the argument in favor of
such a law has been proven too many
times in the last few years.
Representative Hubbard. who intro
duced the bill. has stated that so far as
the law to compel power boats to carry
numbers is concerned. he approves il. but
does not care to make any strenuous at
tempt to have the bill reported favorably.
unless IL is the desire of the owners Of
such craft. AS an owner of a power
boat, he personally believes that the law
would be a good one, and on general
principles would ask for the passage of
the bill.
While on the subject of power boats
there is another matter for consideration
which. il not already a law. should be- and
il the matter is not already regulated. an
addition to the proposed law might well
be made. and this is compelling the own
ers OF launches to carry-lights at night.
Many already do this for their own pro
lection, but during last season there were
quite a few boats which omitted this
practice. This law, IL there is such a one
should be enforced. and il the matter is
not already regulated by law, action
should be taken at once"

MURDER CHARGE

with the murder of Schindeldecker,'
said Chief O'Connor. "As soon as heard
he said Hartmann might have had
something to do with the crime. 1 was
convinced that Hartmann had been
killed, and ordered the river dragged
in the vicinity of the dam. Gottschalk's
fault, like that of Hartmann, was that
he talked too much"
Gottschalk Is Silent
Edward Gottschalk, held to the
grand jury for one murder and sus-
pected of another, both of fiendish ma
ture, remains in sullen solitude at the
county Jail. He talks but little and
but to one end, that he is innocent of
both crimes.
Gottschalk is a study. Possessed of
wonderful will power. and nerves of
steel, he battles all attempts to sound
him. To all appearances he is uncon-
cerned, his features are at all times
devoid of any expression, but behind
the mask of stolidity there is a pow
erful and active mind, the working of
which would be a fit study for q
psychologist. Nothing can disturb his
calm, and although ins position that
might we'll shatter the nerves of the
strongest man, he has not even lost a
wink of sleep.
His head is not that of a degenerate
or criminal, but is well shaped, and
his hands and feet show that he has a
strain of good blood. The prisoners
eyes, however, are peculiar. although
at first glance nothing out of the ordi-
nary is noticed, but those who have
noticed the prisoner closely have OBJ
served a faint baleful CLEAN, half
vague. fit across his features, only to
be replaced the next second by dull
SullenneSs. At no time has he
shown the slightest emotion, and when
informed of the finding of Hartmann's
body did not move a muscle.
Hartmann's Funeral Today
Yesterday was a sad day at the
Hartmann nome. In a darkened room
lay casket. and in the casket was
the body of Joseph Hartmann. In an
adjoining room was gathered the
stricken family, the oppressive silence

deldeeker practically solved, one of the
men believed to have been connected
with the murder dead and the other
behind the bars with sufficient evil
dence to hold him to the grand jury,
the most mysterious case that ever
came to the attention of the police de-
partment appears ended.
From the discovery of the crime I'M
TIL the finding of Hartmann's body
Chief O'Connor has been tireless in his
efforts to run down the murderers
The success which finally rewarded his
efforts has given the police of this city
wide reputation. and it is interesting
to know the theory followed out by it's
head In running the murderers to
earth.
Theory of Chief O'connor
The theory worked out by Chief
OConnor which led to the arrest of
Edward Gottschalk and the search for
Edward Hartmann was that there
were two men implicated in the crime
and that one or both knew Schindel-
decker. That robbery was the sole
motive and the murder was commit
ted to avoid detection. That Gott-
schalk conceived the robbery of Schin-
deldecker. as he knew the butcher and
knew him to have large sums of mon
ey in his possession at the end of the
week That as Gottschalk was ac-
quainted with Schindeldecker he could
not hope to commit the robbery alone
without being recognized, and for this
reason preached the subject to Hart
mann Hartmann readily fell a victim
to the scheme, and for days the pair
lowered In the vicinity of the shop,
familiarizing thsemlves with the lay
of the land That they learned that
Walter Gerenz, the clerk, left the shop
to go to dinner between the hours of
- and 1 O'clock and that SOhfndaI-
decker was alone in the shop for half
an hour at least.
Continuing on this line, the chief be-
lieves that for this reason the robbery
was planned during the noon hour.
Saturday was selected. as Schindel-
decker was known to take in consid-
cradle money at the end of each week.
Along towards IL o'clock on Feb. IS
Hartmann and Gottschalk sauntered in
separate directions towards the shop.
Gottschalk entered the barber shop of
Joseph Polanek. 500 West Seventh
street, about a third of q block from
Schindeldecker's shop. where he could
command a view OF the front door and
see who entered and left the place
Hartmann was somewhere In the i'm
mediate vicinity.
Gerenz Leaves Shop
Shortly after IL o'clock Gottschalk
saw Walter GerenZ leave the shop and
knew that the time for action had ar
rived. Leaving the barber shop he
walked slowly down Seventh street in
the direction of the butcher shop, met
Hartmann and informed him that the
coast was clear. Hartmann entered the
shop prepared to ask some question In
case any one besides Schindeldecker
was in the place
He found the butcher alone. however.
