SPEEDY RACES
AT SHEEPHEAD
FUTURITY WILL LIKELY BE IN
NEIGHB0RH00D OF $4,000.
KEENE'S ARE fAVORITEs
An Evenly Balanced Field and of tha
Highest Glass Of Futurity in
Recent Years.

New York, August 31.--Sixteen
royalty bred 2-year-olds are carded
tonight as starters in the Futurity
stakes tomorrow afternoon at Sheeps-
head Bay, when the racing on New
York tracks will be renewed after
the summer session at Saratoga. The
field is most evenly balanced and the
highest in class that any Futurity
Of recent years has called out. The
distance is seven furlongs. The ex-
act value of this years Futurity Will
probably be in. the neighborhood of
$50,0O0.' Y f' W. W y
4 The favorite entry Of the race was
AGREED upon some time ago, for it was
argued That James r. Keene, the not
ed financier and turf man might
choose any one Of his splendid string
Of youngsters to wear the famed
"'white, blue spots" and still have
the best chance of winning. Keene
has elected to start three horses, Pc
ter Pan, Pope Joan and Zambesi. The
performance of the first two have
been such ns to warrant considerable
faith in their winning ability.

STOLE MILLIONS
OF TRUST funds
OFFICIALS OF FAILED INSTITU-
TON WERE IGNORANT.
CLEARING HOUSE REPLIES
Says Directors had not Met in Three
Years and Did Not Know the
Extent of the Shortage.

Philadelphia, August 3l.-Addi-
tional developments Of sensational
character, continue TO crop out in
connection with the failure Of the
Real Estate Trust company, which in
stitution failed on Tuesday of this
week. Today it became known pub
licly, for the first time since the sus-
persion of the company that there
had not been meeting Of the board
of directors of the failed bank for
nearly three years, every detail hav-
ing been left to the president of the
company, Frank X. Nipple. 1t was
this state of affairs which caused
the clearing house association to hesi-
tate about coming to the aid Of the
Trust company at the meeting on
Tuesday. The criticism of members
of the clearing house association was
responsible for the information being
given out today by one of the cad
ing members of the association. Sew
eral of the directors of the Trust
company have stated since the crash
that the company could have been
saved had the local bankers advanced
$7,000,000. A member of the clear
ing house association who was pres
ent at Tuesdays meeting, said today +:
"The directors of the Real Estate
Trust company knew as little about
the affairs of the company as any of
the bankers present. They did not
appear to know whether the shortage
was $5,O00,00O or $lO,0OO,OOO, and
it would have been folly for us to
have advanced cash when the affairs
of the bank were in such deplor-
able condition. Junkin could not tell
us why the state board Of examiners
and board of directors of the Trust
company had failed to do their duty
for nearly three years."

Illinois Oil Field.

The following will give our readers
an outline of the conditions and de-
velopments at Casey, Ill.
"The developed 6eld," Mr.. Fritz is
quoted as saying, lis fifty miles long
and two and half wide. In all 1000
wells have been drilled within the
past two years. The field is simply
a succession Of rich pools with dry
streaks between. II is possible to
drill duster within location Of =
large producer. Frequently a good
gas well is brought in that produces
no oil.
"The sand lies at depth of $50
feet just north of Casey and dips 10
the southwest. Down in Crawford
and Lawrence counties it lies from
900 to 1850 feet below the surface.
The sand is light grey and from 25
to rs feet in thickness. There ara
one to three pay streaks in the sand,
although sometimes all the sand is
pay. When well is drilled it Of
ten does not show much until shot
then it may flow at the rate of 200 to
300 barrels per day.
"In Crawford county 70 per cent
of the wells are flowing, while at Ca
sey they are pumping. Lots OF dry
holes are being brought in and OTIS
of mighty fine wells. The best wells
have put 1900 barrels of oil in tank
age in twenty-four hours. They drop
soon to 200 barrels or better, all de-
pending on how closely they have
been drilled. The average well will
start of at 100 and is good for Rfty
barrels in sixty days. A well costs
from $4,000 20 $500, and dry
hole $500. The usual royalty is
cne-sixth, although great many are
writtenet one-eighth. There are very
few one quarter leases. Bonus money
runs from $25 to 5000 per acre.
1.-THE Standard handles the oil BY
pipe line to the railroads and %
far has taken good care Of the pro-
duction."

BRYAN DISL|KES
new ENGLAND.
NOT A GOOD PLACE FOR BREED
ING DEMOCRACY.
IS IN new YORK TODAY
The Glad Hand Extended William Jp
and Reminded Him Of Cam
paign Da s.

New Haven, Conn, August 3l-The
visit of William J. Bryan to Connec-
ticut TODAY must have strongly re-
minded him of the strenuous days dur
ing his presidential campaigns, for he
delivered four addresses, each OF CON
siderable length, attended two recep-
tions and was the center Of handshak-
ing bees whenever his admirers could
reach him. All this was crowded into
the hours between noon, when he
reached the city, and the hour OF his
retirement tonight as a guest OF Tor
mer Senator Archibald Mcneil, OF
Bridgeport. Everywhere he was hear
tily received, although there was an
absence of street demonstrations, both
here and in Bridgeport. His audiences,
however, at items were wildly enthu-
isiastic, especially at the noon lun-
cheon here,
The features Of the day were the
luncheon and the conference of New
England democrats. AT the former
Bryan was welcomed to the city and
state with cordiality, that for worth
has seldom been extended to visitor,
and at the latter he stood before a
representative body of New England
democrats and with great earnestness
smoke of the problems which the par
ty must face in the coming campaigns
BRYAN said in the course of his ad,
dress that New England never had
been "good breeding place for dem,
.ocracy; Jefferson had never considered
il so; neither did Jackson"
BRYAN left New Haven for Bridge
port shortly before six o'clock, in that
c;tv going to the home of Mr. Mcneil
for dinner and later addressing an
audience in the armory. Both OF his
main addresses at the mass meetings
were along the lines of his address al
Madison Square Garden last night
touching upon issues which he declar.
ed to be of paramount Importance al
this time.
Tomorrow morning Bryan will re-
turn to New York.

"W. ]. Bryan will not make speech

best known democrats in the state at
the conclusion of the democratic state
committee meeting in Toneka last

"Harris does not want Bryan elect

OKLAHOMA POLITICS.

Organized in Oklahoma.

DDCClut w bnC VOiius
Enid, Okla, August 3l.-The meet
ing of the Thirteenth constitutional
district at the court house last night
was remarkably we'll attended by
committeeman and others, constitut-
ing probably the most representative
gathering that has been called in
Enid for some time. 1t showed that

to choose delegates to the constitu-
tional convention.
The meeting was called to order
by HI j. Sturgis, chairman Of the
city central committee, and M. ID.
Asher was elected to preside. j. S.
Lightfoot was made secretary.
A committee was appointed to de-
wise plans for organization, consist
ing of W. B. Harrison, r. A. Kent
Judge Callison, II. G. McKeever and
j. S. Iightfoot. The committee rec
commended that the republicans pres
ent from each of the wards in the
district select man to act as mem.
ber of the permanent committee, and
that the four so selected name 9
chairman outside of their own mum
ber. After some discussion this was
adopted. The ward selections were
as follows: First, w. l. Drummond
Fourth, George Rainey; Fifth, Judge
Cullison; Sixth, H. G. McKeever.
These men selected Judge James a.
their chairman, and the entire pro
ceeding was then ratified by unan
imous vote of all present.
Judge Cullison, who had early il
the meeting endeavored to get an ex
preston in favor of making the nom
ination by the primary election sys

offering a motion to that effect. Thi
motion was voted down. Many VIII,
