carried 80 far that The National Elec-

ness Of electric Lighting to private cor

The simple truth OF the matter il
that electric lighting corporations sre
frightened, and well they may be, For
years they have demanded exorbitant
rates, ssiEing every opportunity TO get
every dollar that could be squeezed
out Of the people and giving them the
least possible return. They have sti-
fed all competition by buying up ri.
val plants. They have opposed ell leg
isla'ion advantageous TO the people il
IL interfered with their schemes 70
exact excessive rstes. They have cor
ruptly inteFfered with politics. They
have been anything but liberal with
the people In great things or in small,
and now, at last, they begin to see that
a square dea' FOR the public is their
only safety.

these truths in New Jersey. Already

New York, May z2.-Tokalon, by
Tammany- Enid, owned by J. ". Fuller
Of Willspoint, Tex, which raced in the
west exclusively until last fall. an
nexed the nineteenth running of the
classic Brooklyn handicap at Graves
end Monday afternoon. beating we'll
balanced, but decidedly inferior field.
Two years ago the daughter of Tam
many was heralded as a speed marvel,
but since she showed stake form at
Chicago she has been given a long let
up and yesterday her backing was
limited almost entirely to the Texas
contingent. She was sent to Kansas
city In the spring Of 1905 to compete
in the various stakes at Elm Ridge,
but she failed to train up to expecta-
tions and was turned out until last
winter.
Monday she was a great mare and
from the time shown in the race horse
men here are Of the opinion that she
compares favorably with the peerless
Imp, the black whirlwind which came
out of the west a few years ago and
made the eastern bOOkmakers dizzy.
Tokalon was ridden by Bedell, a nov
ice in the saddle. but he used rare
judgment, and although she only won
by a head at the finish she was going
away at the end.
Tolralon covered the mile and a
quarter in 2:05 3-5, within one-fifth of
a second of the record for the race,
and in the gamest OF drives, under
whip and spur. nosed out the stout
hearted Dandelion in the run through

The Picket. which two years ago car
ried his colors to victory in the same
stake against the mighty Irish Lad and
Hermis. Last Of all was Delhi, the
winner of the classic only a year ago.
Between the first and the last was
as evenly a balanced field of thorough
breds as ever faced the starter in a
great event. TokalOn was quoted at
25 to l. while DandeHon was favored
by a big play at fours, and Merry
Lark, who finished fifth carried the
talents money at threes Half
dozen others were backed for thou
sands and Tokalon herself, though
her price varied little, was not by any
means disregarded.
Roseben. thc Johnson sprinter was
factor in the race. for he took the lead
in the first half and carried the others
at terrific clip the full mile, with Dan
deiion ever at his side. When Rose
ben's bolt was shot the Hamburg colt,
game as his mighty sire, but lacking
that brilliant sire's turn Of speed, came
up on the inner rail, and 1t seemed as
. though the race was his.
Then TokalOn. with the swinging
stride that made her sire. Tammany,
greatest of racers in his day. broke
through the line in front and pushed
her nose against the leaders withers.
Full half a furlOng their heads rose and
fell together and inch by inch the little
mare drew up and closed the space be
tween them. A bound or two from the
wire she showed in front, and they

EI.MER sHEETz UNDER ARREST
He Is Charged With some Onense in
St. Louis.

Elmer L. Sheetz, man wanted in
St. Louis for jumping his bond. was
captured Monday by Detective Pavey
and Sheriff Lucas. Chief Donovan and
Sheriff Lucas telephoned to Chief
Desmond in ST. Louis today. Desmond
said that Sheetz, who has several
aliases is wanted there and that his
picture and Bertillon measurements
are in the st. Louis collection.
Sheetz was in Topeka about a
month, but left suddenly two weeks
ago. His wife gave birth to child.
and her sister came from st. Louis to
care for her. The sister became en-
ragged at Sheetz on account of his treat
ment of his wife, and gave the story of
his life to detectives. Before he could
be picked up he had left town He
was wanted at the time on suspicion
of infanticide. The child born to his
wife disappeared, and the next day the
police found the body of an infant in
an alley. They proved to their salts
faction that it was Sheetz's child, and
suspected that it was either killed or
allowed to die at birth.
Sheetz returned to Topeka Sunday.
He was BROKE, and an acquaintance
stood good for his hotel bill. He reg
Istered under the name Of Price, ex-
planning to the acquaintance that he
wished to avoid a woman who was
looking for him. At another hotel he
registered as A o. Prince.
Sheetz is a bogus land agent, and ac-
cording to the story of his sister-in-
law, sells property and gives bogus pa
pers to land which does not exist.
Sheriff Lucas received a letter con-
tanning a photograph and Bertillon de-
letter stated that there was some
trouble about the state of Missouri
paying the expenses of bringing Sheetz
back to St Louis.
