were the days when his recreation con
sisted chiefly in wrestling with matha-

Then. too, rightly realizing that the
eyes Of the entire country are focused

ing himself, to the best of his ability,
against making any errors Of judgment
IN his examination of the various Wit
nesses by keeping himself physically
trained TO the minute, on the ground
that q healthy body assures g steady
mind. Every morning. on rising, he
dismisses all thought of the insurance
investigation during the quarter OF an
hour or more that he devotes TO phySi-
cal culture exercises. Next comes a
cold bath, then a breakfast which
would have delighted a Spartan for its
simplicity. and, if there is time,

frugal as breakfast. After the days

usually walks four of the six miles TO
his home, on the upper West Side of
the city, and he spends in the theatres
more evenings than one would natur-
ally think he could spare from the task
OF making new and thorough but
hurried research as the Investigation
unfolds. He has played golf on many
days when the committee has not been
in session. In brief, with all the de-
liberateneSs and precision of the true
mathematical temperament, he has
been keeping himself well in hand from
the beginning of the investigation.
This circumstance gives some idea of

Hughes has brought to the task. He
realizes that the investigation is
fraught with such far-reaehing con-

ALABAMA r.. r.. COMMISSION
Begin an Investigation Looking to a
Revision of Tariffs on all Railroads
Operating i'm the State.

Montgomery, Ala, >1ay 3.-The Ala
llama railroad commission today began
its investigation looking to a revision
OF general tariffs on all roads operating
lin the state.
Prominent officials of every other line
were present at the hearing. The COM
mission today heard testimony of the
Southern Railway, represented by L..
Green, of Atlanta. He filed an answer
to the proposition of a general revision
|Of the tariff of that road, which pur-
ports to show that his company does
not earn OIL interstate business in Ala
hama the legal rate of interest ON its
stocks, bonds and other securities prop
erly assessable against the traffic origi-
hating in this state. He was subjected
to a long cross examination by Presi-
ldent E. 3. Conner, of the committee, on
all the commodities and articles in the
different classificatiOns Of his road. In
nearly all instances Mr.. Green said
that the reason rates are lower in Ala
llama than in Georgia is that the GeOr-
gia commission forced upon the rail-
roads in that state much lower claSSif-
cations for the articles than prevail
anywhere else.
Adjournment was taken until tOmOr-
row morning when examination Of
Southern Railway officials will con-
Itinue.

BELMONT PARK
The Inauguration of This New Race
Coarse is Looked Forward to as
Marking a New Era i'm American
Racing.

New York, May with such twin
I~eyents as the fourteenth running OF
the rich Metropolitan handicap with a
$4,000 purse and the opening Of the
finest race course in America, tomor-
row promises to be a memorable day
liz the annals of American racing. Fully
10000 people are expected to throng
the course when the handicap candi-
dates are called to the post and the
initial meeting of the West Chester
Racing Association in its new home,
belmont Park, is fairly under way.
IThe Metropolitan will be run as the
fourth ace on the card.
The Inauguration of Belmont Park
tomorrow is looked forward to as
marking a new era in American rae
ling. This great course which super
icedes Morris Park in the eastern cal
lendar, has been built at an outlay Of
NEARLY $3,O0O,OOO, and is declared to be
the equal If not the superior of any of
the historic racing plants of Europe.
1.-The New Market Of America" is the
sobriquet which has already been ap-
piled to Belmont Park by those famil-
jar with the worlds race courses.
The Metropolitan handicap, run at a
mile on the main dirt track, has a field
which is giving the students Of racing a
difficult task of selection. 1t is believ-
ed tonight, however, that the James Z.
Keene PAGERS, Delhi and Sysonby, will
rule as post favorites. Delhi has work
ed faster than any of the candidates,
lit is said, and is smartly fancied. For
ISysonby Mr.. Keene is said to have re-
fused an offer of 100000 when a tow
year old last year. August Belmont's
Reldame, the champion flly Of last
season, is also named to so and will
Iunquestionably be one of the choices.
