RACE TRACK RIOT
FIGHTING LASTED FOR FOUR
HOURS ON PARIS COURSE.
Hundreds of People Injured, Some
FatalIy-Crowds Went Crazy When
Favorite Did Not Win-They Tore
Down Judges Stand-PoIice Inter
fered-Jocked Was Kicked.

Paris. Oct. 15.-The first real riot
GUS demonstration in France since the
riots of May last took place at the
Longchamps race course Sunday ana
as a result fighting lasted for over
four hours between the authorities and
a mob of frantic people and more than
one hundred persons were injured,
severally fatally.
There was an enormous crowd at
the race course Sunday when the
racing began. 1t was crowd typical
of Partisan life.
The program comprised six races
and the first two passed off without
incident. There were nine starters
in the free handicap, the next event,
and four, including the favorite, were
practically left at the post. The favor
| lite was not able to get through until
near the finish line, when he came
with a great rush, but did not quite
get up. Most of the crowd thought
the favorite won and when an outsider
was posted as the actual purse gath
erer the crowd went crazy. They in
vaded the course, tore down the
judges stand, and were it not for the
fact that the police acted promptly
and surrounded the officials, it is like
ly that some one would have been kill
ed. One man knocked down the jock
ey on the favorite and kicked him in
the head, badly injuring him.
The Infatuated mob then charged
upon the paddock and enclosure and
tore them down, breaking everything
they could.
While doing this a gang Of the ia
nous "Guerrillas of Paris" who con
gregated at the track, made an assault
on the place where the mutuals arr
sold, and although the men in charg'
tried in every way to protect thei
money they failed and the crowd sue
ceeded in getting away with 100000
The police on duty could do nothing
to check the mob and they called upol
the firemen to aid them. Although
the latter sent several streams o
water into the faces of the rioters the
were useless and finally the mounte
police, who had been hurriedly sun
moned, arrived and charged the crowd
They also used their revolvers freely
but fired for the most part over tn
heads of the crowd or into the GROUND
= After several hours of fighting tn
crowd was eventually dispersed, bu
not until after many heads had bee
, broken.
Sixty arrests were made and tn
race meeting had to be abandoned
= The scene when the crowd sacked tn
= betting ring was indescribable, an
men, women and children fought fo
the gold and notes that were droppe
!, by the first gang of thieves in thei
rush to escape with their booty.

TAFT AND FUNSTON DEPART.
They Have Left Cuba and Governor
Magoon Is Now at the Helm.


Havana.-W the departure for
the United States of Secretary Taft,
and the full assumption of reins of
government by Mr.. Magoon, the new
administration in the island republic
can be said to be well started The
proclamation by the new governor was
well received generally by the resi-
dents of Havana, and it now seems
certain that there will be no further
disturbances. Governor Magoon struck
a very popular chord when in his proc
lamation he declared that he would dc
all in his power to preserve Cuban
independence, protect life and prop
erty and bring about the restoration OF
the ordinary method Of government
under the provisions of the Cuban
constitution

nUADREDSPERISHED
BRITISH STEAMER HANKOW IS
BURNED AT HONG KING.
Over 1000 Aboard-Chlnese Passen.
gers Suffered Most-European Pas
sen9ers and Crew Escaped-vaua.
BILE Cargo Total Loss-OnIy Shell
and Hull Remaln-Orlgin Unknown

Hong Kong, Oct. 15.@The British
steamer Hankow was burned Sunday
morning while lying alongside her
wharf. Hundreds of Chinese passen-
gers were burned to death, and a val
liable cargo was destroyed. All the
European passengers and crew were
saved.
The steamer Hankow, with 1000
Chinese passengers, men, women and
children, and seven Europeans and a
cargo including 300 bales of mating,
so bales of raw silk and 400 bales Of
waste silk, arrived from Canton and
was shortly afterward moored at the
wharf.
Her chief officer reported to Captain
Branch that the ship was afire. The
captain then directed the chief engi-
'neer to turn on the water through the
fire hose. This was impossible for the
reason that within five minutes after
the alarm was given the Hankow was
ablaze fore and aft
Captain Branch then awakened the
European passengers, who rushed
down the gangway, the ladies in their
nightclothes. The crew was COMPEL
ed to leave the ship, which by this
time was veritable furnace The
Chinese steerage passengers were
thrown into frightful panic Horri
flying shrieks and cries to save their
lives were heard, but escape was i'm
possible owing to the inflammable ma
ture of the cargo. Hundreds were
burned to death and many others
jumped into the harbor and were
drowned.
Responding to signals the British
cruiser Flora and the naval dockyard
dispatched contingents of engines ant
assistance. The land and floating bri
gades of fremen made herculean eff
forts to extinguish the flames, which
leaped to a height of over 60 feet.
After four hours the fire was
brought under control, at which time
only the shell and hull of the Hankov
remained
There are many theories as to the
cause of the fire. The first is that i
was caused by the overturning of ;
lantern by a Chinese boarding house
runner, who came aboard seeking Gus
toners. The second is that an opium
smoker accidentally set fire to mat
ting, the third is that it was caused b.
the crossing Of electric wires. A
fourth theory and one that is consid
cred the most probable is that the fir
was incendiary and was an outgrowtl
of a boycott againbt British rive
boats.
The steamer Hankow was owned b,
the China Navigation company o
London and was built in Glasgow II
1876. The vessel was constructed o
iron. her dimensions being length
30S.5; beam, 42.3 depth, 1872 feet
She registered 3O73 tons gross.

Green Trotter's Fast Trlal.


One of the best trials shown at the
Lexington. KY, track this season was
that of Will Mayban, a 4-year-old
green colt by Alliewood, which gives
promise of being one of the best pac-
Ing prospects in training. The colt
mas only been in training forty days,
and has never been handled on the
track until this season, but when set
down by Trainer w. A. Owings this
week stepped a mile in 2:19A, going the
last eigth in .15A.
VIII Mayban is out Of the noted
broodmare Amiss, dam of Phalla,
2.09A.
The first real work of the season
by Emma Brook, 209A, was made
during the week, when Trainer Simp-
son sent her mile jogging in 2.21,
the last half of which she covered in
LOS, and the final quarter in .32h.
Emma Brook is in better condition this
year than at any time in her career,
and 1t is the belief of her trainer that
she will take mark of 2.07 before the
end of the season. 1t was at first in
tended to matinee her this year, but
she is doing SO we'll that her owner
will start her by the first of August in
several events and local horsemen
look for her to be dangerous factor
in the 2.10 class events on the Grand
Circuit.
Emma T., the dam of Emma Brook,
and Miss Adbell, has proven barren
this season to Walnut Hall, and she
was mated this Spring to Flexo. EN-
ma T. has no yearling this year, as
she slipped twins to Onward Silver in
1905.
John Splan will leave the coming
week for the Libertyville, ILL.,, track,
near Chicago, where his noted mare,
Bi-Flora, will make her first start IF
the season, and from that point she
will be raced in several towns through
Illinois and Wisconsin, and will make
her first appearance on the Grand Cir
cult at the Oakley Park meeting, Gin
cinnati Bi-Flora is engaged in sew
eral important events on the Gas Belt
Circuit, and Splan believes she will
take the big end of most of the races
she starts in. Splan has also several
green trotters he will race on the
same circuit
The noted brOOdmare, Silicon, 2.13k,
dam of Siliko, 2-year-old record 2.171a,
has foaled brown fillv by Walnut
Hall, 2.08A, at the farm of Senator Z.
w. Bailey, who now owns the great
daughter of Wilton. Silicon has been
mated this season to Senator Bailey's
horse, Prodigal, 2.16.
The fastest yearling PAGER to show
up at the local track this season is
a bay filly by Prodigal, owned by Sena-
tor Bailey, and trained by H. M.
Childs. This youngster has been
named Sarah Horn, in honor of Miss
Sarah Hornbrook, of this city.
Major p P. Johnston has sold to ].
L. Stenson, Mayfield, KY, a 5-year-old
bay mare by King Clay, and to Lind
say Hale 3-year-old black filly by the
same sire. Hays to train, and this
week he drove the 5-year-old mare a
mile in 2:26.-Philadelph Item.

PRES. PRICE TO FINE

CLUBS
Winnipeg, Calumet and Hough-
ton Have Five Days to Get
Within Salary Limit.
Special to The Evening Times.

SDeclal TO The Evening Times.
Fargo, N. D., June 30.-President
Price of the NorthernC Copper Country
league, under the advice of the direc-
tors of the various clubs has named
committee to consist of Alex Storms,
Fargo; ]. NJ. Lamb, Winnipeg, and T.
]. Hennes, Lake Linden, to revise the
league schedule. This committee, it
is understood between the various
managers will fix the schedule so that
In future no more than two games
shall be played in succession in any of
the copper country towns.
At the Duluth meeting of the board
of control this week, the White Sox
management made complaint that
other teams of the league were en-
ceeding the salary limit. Inquiry was
thereupOn made by President Price
and each manager was made to give
list of his players, together with the
salary each was receiving. 1t was
found that Winnipeg. Calumet and
HOughton were over the limit and the
managers of these teams were given
five days to get inside. The total
amount in salaries paid by each club,
as affirmed by the respective managers,
is as follows: Winnipeg. $1,12O;
Houghton, $1,15O: Grand Forks, 81 ,OSO;
Duluth. $1,OS5: Lake Linden, $1,000;
Hancock, $1,0S5; Calumet, $1,1O5;
Fargo. $1,0S5.
After the close of the meeting some
of the managers said that they were
certain Winnipeg and Calumet were
way in excess of the $1,100 limit II
will make an investigation of both
teams" said President Price, land if
find that either has turned in doc
tored report, the manager will have
grave reasons to feel sorry"
"That Winnipeg team is costing
Manager Lamb close to $4,000" said a
member of the board, land think it
can be easily proved"
II asked Lamb, upon his honor of
gentleman, to affirm the list he hand
ed in" said President Price, land if
my investigation shows that he is act
ing unfairly, will see to it that he is
Ousted as manager and will fine the
Winnipeg club 500 or more. This
salary limit question deals very
strongly with the success of the league
and must be kept within the required
bounds"
