The Washington Metropolitan polio
man stands forth as the model bluecoat
Of this country.
The authority for this seeming rash
statement is the Police Trial Board
record, and is not to be disputed.
In the last fifteen years, the members
OF the force in this city, In discipline
and general behavior, have improved
more than the police of any other city.
While In 1890 there were about 800 police
men connected with the force, and now
there are over 600. the number OF Of

There are just about as many cases

Patrons Coming.

BALTIMORE. Sept. 30.-The fall race
meeting at Pimlico. which opens on
November 4. promises to be the most
successful since the reorganization OF
the Maryland Jockey Club.
In the neighborhood of 800 horses
will be stabbed at the course and the
class of runners will be higher, by far,
than that of any previous meetings.
1t has become apparent that racing
can be conducted successfully in Bal
timore, even when the New York sport
is in progress, and owners and trainers
have come to realize that the Pimlico
meeting furnishes not only good sport,
but that the meeting is profitable to
them. Many owners who have not
heretofore patronized the Baltimore
meeting, have signified their inteltion of
sending horses to the autumn meeting.
Steeplechasers Coming.
Among them are several owners of
steeplecha sers. and inasmuch as this
feature of the racing is to receive spe-
cial attention ct the hands of the Bal
timore officials. it is likely that the
patrons will be treated to the best
jumping races that have been seen
around Baltimore for many years.

BIG jim ASHLEY
IN WASHINGTON
Administrations Represen-
tative in Georgia.
ALWAYS MAKES GOOD FIGHT
Holds Respect of Widest Counties in
Southern State by His Ability
to Handle q Gun.

Picturesque and fearless big jim
Ashley, the man who is recognized as
the representative OF the Administration
down in Georgia. has been in Washing
ton this week. a cynosure of attention
as he strode down Pennsylvania avenue
or through the lobby of the Arlington.
Ashley has had a remarkable career
In politics. He is still young man. be-
Ing not over forty, and he is strenuous
enough to satisfy even the President.
He Is the son of former Governor Ash
ley. of Ohio, and for years figured as a
local Republican leader in Toledo. A
trained athlete. standing six feet and
more In his stockings, and not knowing
the meaning of the word fear, he COM
manded respect in the toughest OF the
precinct caucuses in Toledo and got a
training there that fitted him later TO go
down to Georgia and take a hand there
In running the politics of the State.
Friend of President.
Last year big Jim put up a fight of
the most gallant sort for the instruction
of the Georgia delegation for Roose-
velt. The President heard of il through
friends in Georgia who wrote him about
the fearless Northerner.
Ashley never asked anything from the
President or even called upon him until
Invited to drop into the White House.
When he finally called, with character
fstic bluntness. he extended his ponder
Gus paw for the grasp of the President S
hand. 1t was evident kindred spirits
had met and Roosevelt was won over
completely. At the request of the Presi-
dent. Ashley ran for Congress in his dis
trict last fall and I'm a strongly Demo-
49, to IL
ahead OF the national ticket.
Could Not Bluff "Big Jim"
The district in which Ashley is To-
Gated is composed of seventeen counties,
the widest in the State. Shooting af-
fairs and election feuds are common.
Candidates for Office carry guns and in
order 10 retain the respect of their con-
stituents. are expected to use them.
On numerouA occasions attempts were
made to intimidate Big Jim," but they
We're not successful.
AT one county seat where Ashley was
Dilled to speak the mayor OF the town
sent him notice that no Republican had
ever spoken from the court house steps
and that II was his intention to see no
new precedent was set Upon the night
when Ashley was to appear. a large
crowd assembled to see the fun
Downs Belligerent Mayor.
The belligerent mayor, after fortify-
iEg himself well with batch of moon
Shine pushed his way through the
crowd to where Big Jim" was pro-
pounding the old-fashioned Republican
doctrine. With gun in hand, the mayor
approached from behind and was just
on the point of thrusting the gun into

osd Toledoean reached for him, disarned d
hiTn with a single blow and then kicked
INN from the stage without the least
ceremony OF comment on the incident.
without deigning to dignity the occur
rS.ce by even passing remark, big
.lsrn took UP the thread OF his argument
where he had paused and proceeded with
his address amid the applause of his
auditors.
