PROMINENT OWNERS
INVOLVED IN WAR
Innocently Drawn Into the
Western Turf squabble.
CONFLICT OF MEETINGS
Secession of Louisville and Nashville
Tracks Cause Trouble for Western
C1ub-Put on Forfeit List.
CONFLICT OF MEETINGS

CHICAGO. Feb. 25.-Several prominent
Gently involved in the Western turf sit
uation as the result OF the secession of
Louisville and Nashville from the con-
troll Of the Western Jockey Club, unless
some afnicable arrangement can be made
to cover the complications that at pres
ent appear inevitable.
The stake events at Louisville and
Nashville were opened while the tracks
were under the jurisdiction OF the West
ern Jockey Club. and the horsemen en-
tered under the impression that the con-
ditions then prevailing would stand. By
accepting the American Turf Assocfa-
TONS rules and control, the horse
men will, under the rules of the jockey
club. be relieved from further obligation
to carry out the conditions should they
SO elect
Stake Entry Effective.
A stake entry is an effective contract,
and as the owners who desire to remain
within the fold of the Western Jockey
Club will be unable to start their eli
gfbles, there is a chance that they may
have recourse to the courts, on the
ground that the associations mentioned
The owners who repudiate their for
feits will undoubtedly be reported to the
jockey club as being on the forfeit list,
and the Eastern body may have TO de-
eide on the question of right or wrong
involved In the situation. AS the mat
ter stands at present it would appear
that an owner with a horse entered in a
particular stake could legally claim the
right to start for such a stake without
regard to the governing body to which
the track owed allegiance. Refusal te
recognize a horse under such circrIrn-
stances would lead to complications
similar to those prevailing some years
ago when Edward Corrigan started Hu-
ron in the Futurity.
On that occasion Huron finished sec
ond. but was not officially recognized.
In subsequent court proceedings the
colts owner failed to make an effective
case, and the $500 claimed was not
awarded to him.
Corrigan's Plans.
Corrigan is devising ways and means
OF conducting the newly organized gov
erning body in a manner to win the ap-
proval OF all horsemen who elect 10
cast their fortunes with him and against
the Western Jockey Club His latest
idea is TO make Francis Trave1yan q
travelling steward, with jurisdiction over
all tracks recognizing the American
Turf Association as the governing body
in Western racing affairs. His duty will
be to pass on all cases where the
judgment of the officiating judges IS
questioned. Disagreements viii be at
once reported TO MIR. Trevelyan. who will
proceed to the track and listen to the
evidence. Failing q satisfactory SOU
ton, the complaining horseman will
have the executive committee to appeal
to.

ENGLAND HAS FIVE
GOOD GOLF LINKS
First-CIass Courses for the
Championship Tourney.
AMERICANS CHANGE YEARLY
Ten Different Places Used During Last
Decade-WiH Soon Settle Upon
Six-Chicago Excels.

Great Britain has five first-elass golf
links which meet with every require
ment of d championship course.
They are St Andrews, Prestwiclz.
Sandwich Hoylake and Muirfield, AND
the amateur and open championships
are never played anywhere else, al
though there are many other fine eight
een-hole courses throughout the king
dom.
During the ten years life Of the United
States Golf Association the amateur
championship has been held on ten i
ferent courses as follows:
Newport, Shfnnecock, Chicago, Morris
County, Onwentsia, Garden City. Allan
tic City, Glen View. Nassau and Bal
tursol.
To Settle Upon Six.
Tae time seems to be coming. however,
when the American golfers viii follow
in the footsteps of Great Britain and
settle upon q half dozen of the very
best OF the championship courses. In
fact. they have already shown 3
tendency zn that direction by selecting
the Chicago Golf Club course at
Wheaton. ILL.,, for this years amateur
championship. It is one of the finest
courses in the country, and on Il par
with SUCn nfSt-cldSS championship
courses as Myopia. Garden City. Glen
View, Nassau and Baltursol, when it is
at its best.
All Good Courses.
These courses are all UP 10 date and
the time may yet come when the anna
teur and open events viii be held only
on these six. In fact The open cham
pionship this year viii be held over the
Myopia links. The othe~ associate clubs
courses are regarded as almost too easy
for these two events. but very suitable
for the womens championship
The ten open championships have beer
played respectively at Newport, Shine,

SHERIFF THOMPSON'S
ORDERS WERE oBEYEO

Every saloon in Durango is said to
nave closed promptly at midnight Sat
urday night and all day yesterday. #
had been implied in the public prints
that some OF the places had been keep
ing back or side doors open, and it
had been reported to the sheriff that
several places had been keeping open
after midnight, beginning last Monday
night. 1t Is said that Sheriff Thomp.
son was informed that the law against
Keeping open after midnight was VIC
lated Monday night and sent a mum

ing nights to procure evidence of the
violation. On Saturday he published
in The Herald a warning that he
would prosecute all violGtors and OF.
fered reward OF s25 for information
which would lead to the conviction of
any yiolator.
II is understood that all the saloons
save two or three mad agreed to keep
open yesterday but whether this is
true The Herald is unable to learn.
but 1t is presumed that the sherifr's
last warning decided them to comply
with the law. Sheriff Thompson went
out of the city early this morning and
it could not be learned what disposi.
ton ne will make of the violations al.

capable of becoming useful citizens.
There are many opportunities for prof
itably investing the money they have
won in the Pecos valley. and when
they become prosperous farmers and
fruit raisers or engage In productive
business of any kind, the public will
soon forget how they got their start"

SAD EXPERIENCES
OF ABE schlFFER

Il can't bear to stay away from my
family: that is why | am anxious to
get back to Alamosa. No one knows
how | have suffered. | am ready to
answer for what have done."--Abra-
ham Schiller. Albany, N. Y.
At Albany. n. Y, Nov. 8. Abraham
Schiller walked into the office of the
chief of police and gave himself up,
stating that charge of embezzlement
connected with the Bank OF Alamosa
was hanging over his head. He said
he was weary of being conscience
stricken and would not fight extradi-
tlon and that the officers OF the law
could not come too quick for him.
Schiller went east about ten days
before the Bank OF Alamosa failed.
| He went, SO he says, to get financial
aid with which to tide over the totter-
ing bank. He failed, and the results
are well known.
| The theory of self destruction was
advanced after Abe left Alamosa, and
some credence was given this theory
| for 1t will be remembered that year
ago last February he was found wan
dering up near the stock yards wound
ed by a pistol shot. But Alamosa cit
liens have contended that Abe liked
to live too well to kill himself and
their contentious have proven true.
Schiller arrived at Albany October
2. He carried a small hand satche
which he placed in the check room a
the depot, where 1t remained for sev
eral weeks. charge of Sl.35 for stor
age was against 1t.
When he reached Albany he wa
about broke. and reports from ther,

THE HIGH SCHOOL

The balance of the profit from last

pended in the purchase OF twelve new
Barnes dissecting microscopes, Bausch

ments are especially helpful in the
work in botany.
AT the last meeting of the North
Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools the Durango High
school was admitted to membership.
This school has been upon the accred-
tied list OF all the colleges OF this
state for several years but 1t was very
desirable that a wider recognition be
secured if possible. We have met all
the requirements and SO long as the
present standard is maintained the col
leges and universities listed below
will keep us upon their accredited
list
The commission to which is assign
ed the work OF accreG.tation reports
among other things INA 1t has been
very conservative. believing that such
action would eventually work to the
and the association. 1t has not at
tempted to make large list. on the
contrary, only those schools which
possess organization, teaching force,
standards of scholarship. equipment,
esprit de corps, etc. of such charac-
ter as would unhesitatingly commend
them to any educator, college or uni
yerslty in the North Central territory.
or in the entire country. are offered
for your consideration"
When colleges accredit high schools
they do not mean that all graduates
from those schools will be admitted
without conditions, but they mean that
such pupils will receive full credit in
all required subjects which have been
studied in those schools. Pupils who
wish TO enter without conditions must
select such subjects as the college
which they expect to attend requires

SCARLET FEVER CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM

The second death from scarlet fever
in the vicinity of Second street during
the past few days occurred yesterday
Erwin Andrew. the 6-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. j. +. Summers. being
the victim.
Burial will occur from the residence
this afternoon at Second street. and
will be private.
1t is sorely complained OF in connec.
tion with this death that the quaran.
tine laws are not observed at all, and
that carelessness prevails throughout
the city, sick children being allowed
to go to the public schools and roam
anywhere until they are too sick to
leave their homes. Children are al
lowed TO visit sick rooms and scarlet
fever runs rampant.
