LIGHT BETS, BUT
BO0K|ES Get ALL

The horse you bet on was the horse
sure not to win was the spirit of the
sport at the race track yesterday. The
zest of true sporting was noticeable
and the play at the books was light.
The fields were small and the merits
of the horses we'll known. The only
question was when the play would go
in at the last five minutes and the
odds-on favorites were then pro-
claimed.
Minna Baker. on whom, there was
big play in the first race, lost by half
length to Main. rank Outsider.
Scorcher ran third, the others trail
ing.
The second was no improvement In
form. The play went on Iodora and
Canepus H., but Irish Jew, a three to
one shot, won easily, separating those
who played 'sure thing from their
money.
When at the sixth Fights post in the
second race with little Jockey Kisch-
baum riding her, Sizz, touted to win,
stumbled and fell, throwing Kisch-
baum in the dirt. Lucky he was not
seriously injured and displayed his
grit by riding Soundly to win in the
next race.
In the third race, just as the crowd
had supposed the event was day for
long shots and had placed their money
on Chileno, Effervescence and Euchre
Deck, Soundly, the odds-on favorite,
won all the way, with Effervescence
second and Chileno third.
In the fourth race Follow Me, the
book favorite, made runaway match
of the field and won from the flag to
the finish Harbor, who was the sure
thing to the favored few who always
play to lose, ran a close third. Flour
ish ran second with two lengths Of
daylight between him and the win
ner.

day gives many excellent features for

the suggestion was made If 1t was con sldered desirable to get at the details covering the republican contributions the committee should examine Auditor An thony of the republican natlonal eani- paign committee, who he said could give a complete list of all the contributions He added that statements of contrlpu- tors and those who did not contribute were made periodically and that the fres- ident knew they were. The same letter writer also volunteered the information that an examination would reveal the fact that Secretary Root had been re- sponsible for the appointment of ex-Sec- retary Morton as the head of the Equit- able company and that the purpose or his selection had been to head off the ln- surance investigation.
 Continuing MT. Tillman announced ms conviction that national banks were even now contributing to state campaigns Tn order to keep favorites in power He would have both investigated and want ed the committee to send for the chair man and the auditor of the democratic party, as well as the chairman and audi tor of the republican committee.
 Lets stop the infamy," he exclaimed, and when asked by MT Lodge If he would be willing to extend the proposed inquiry back to 1885 and 1889 he replied unhesitatingly in the affirmative. Yes" he said "go back have nothing to hide As was quoted In letter to MT. Breen as saying: T am willing to drive the dag ger home to democrats as well as repub- lcans. l am perfectly impartial in my favors of that kind
 Mentions Walsh Bank.
 Mir TilIman then referred to the pro- visions in his resolution for inquiries into the affairs of the Walsh National bank of Chicago and into charges made against the banks of Hamilton county, Ohio. He criticised the Chicago banks for under taking to take care of the business Of the Walsh bank, declaring they had en- tered into that agreement without know ing anything about the assets of the con- cern, and saying if there was no law to prevent such proceedings as that there should be one.
 Mir Hopkins took exceptions to the eriti- cfsms of the Chicago bank, saying that if MT. Tillman were as familiar as those bankers are with the banking business he would not make the statement he had made He declared the Walsh bank was not insolvent. and that all claims against the bank were being paid adding that assets were sufficient for all pur- poses and that there would be millions left after all claims were paid.
 Has Walsh been indicted?" MT. Till- man asked abruptly, standing with a

MENTIONS THE WAL SH CASE

Washington April 17.-Preceding the taking up of the railroad rate bill in the Senate today MT. Tillman called up his resolution directing the Senate com mittee on finance to enter upon an in- vestigation of the question of campaign contributions by the national banks, and after he had spoken at length the resolu- ton was referred to the finance commit tee.
 In his speech MT. Tlllman read a letter from New York banker suggesting that the auditor of the republican national committee should be called to give testi- mony concerning the contributions to the republican. fund of the last campaign. MT. Tillman said that he would not con- fine the inquiry to the republican com mittee. but would extend it to the dem ocratic committee. He again referred to the affairs of the Walsh bank of Chicago, and in that connection was engaged in a sharp controversy by Mir. Hopkins who declared the Walsh bank not to be insol- vent He also said in reply to a question. from MT. Tillman. that MT. Walsh had not been indicted.
 MT. Foster spoke for almost three hours on the rate bill contendng for the valid ity of the proposed legislation. urging it's necessity in order to check the growing

Milwaukee, Wis, April H.-President Palmer of the Northwestern Life Insur- ance company testified before the legis- pany's Investments in railway and muni- cipal bonds totalled $S0,0O0 ,OOo.

 Not Matter of Personal Grievance.
 aIf' MT Tillman replied. "the senator is aggrieved he will have to stay ag- grieved," and to this the Illinois senator responded that it was not matter of personal grievance with him, but re- flection on the private business inter ests of Chicago to which he took eXcep- ton. \ In view of the fact that nobody had lost a dollar in connection with the Walsh bank he did not consider the South Carolina senator should consider himseif with It.

  his lack of detailed information and this admission called out the suggestion from MT. Hopkins that if the South Carolina senator would send to the press gallery he could probably supply the defect. He added the request that MT Tillman give him the name of the writer of the press gallery note. Ut Is not required, replied MT Tillman, "the writer did not have time to sign 1t. I hope" he added, "that the senator from Illinois will let the resolution pass. He should be as anx- ious as I am to. prevent the banks from giving money to aid election of members of the House of Representatives"

 MT Foraker avowed his entire willing ness to have a thorough investigation into the affairs of the National Bank of Ohio, but he added the conviction that the reports received by MT. Tillman had been greatly exaggerated. He said that he had been familiar with the policies of Ohio for thirty years and said that he had never known of any bank contribu- tions except in 1896.

 Next to the national quarantine bill which was opposed by number of south ern democrats on account of the fear that the police powers of the states were in- vaded, the bill to regulate appeals in criminal cases was probably of largest in- terest the attorney general deeming the legislation of vital importance on account of the decision in the beef trust cases, the present law not permitting the gov ernment when a demurrer to an indct- ment is sustained. to have the same re- viewed on writ of error by either the supreme court of the United States or by the circuit court of appeals.

 Where such a stupendous amount ot money IS involved, isn't it worth thinking twice about whether you are getting the best value tor your money?
 You've bought cigars with no guarantee ot their goodness, no better assurance of their value than the recommendation of an unknowng re- tailer-n total ignorance of who makes them how they are made or of what they are made and with no guarantee of their real value.
 You have kept on paying 10 cents tor cigars that under proper manufacturing conditions should not cost you more than half as much.
 Is that a square deal?
 How much longer are you going to put up with it?
 Isn't your part of the $3oo. 100000 a year worth more consideration by the manufacturer and by the dealer? Why don't you demand some guarantee of reliable quality?
 Why should you take chances?
 You should not allow your prejudice or your indifference to interfere with your getting the best cigars you can possibly buy for your money. You cannot afford to ignore the better quality that is yours if you ask for and demand it.
