HORSES FOUGHT
FOR SEVEN HEATS
Final Races Of the Whining
ton Horse Show Meet
Brought Out Big Field
DRIVERTHROWNFROMSULKY

Fully thirty-hve hundred people
gathered at Horse show Association
Park yesterday afternoon to witness
the closing events OF the three days
purse meet given under the auspices Of
the Wilmington Horse Show Associa-
tion and those who had gone TO the
track with the expectation of seeing
good racing were more than repaid for
their time
There were three events on the af-
ternoons card with total entries of
fifty horses but a number of owners
withdrew their entries and when the
horses were called at one o'clock en-
tries ia the three events had been
reduced to twenty-three. Naturally the
greatest interest centered in the 2.12
pace the fastest on the card but when
the finish came at IT'S o'clock the spec
tators were unanimous in their ex-
pressions that the 2.25 pace was the
feature Of the day
In this class there were ten start
ers and before supremacy was deter
mined seven hard fought heats had
been paced. From a racing stand
point this event was a peculiar one in
that Sidney b., the horse that took
first money came under the wire fifth
in the first heat and Daniel c., who
took second. finished seventh in the
same heat. In fact the horses finished
in such a manner in all the heats but
the last that IL was almost an impos-
sibility TO pick the winner at any stage

Municipal Ownership.

BY THE JOURNALS Special Wire.
NEW YORK, July 26--Dinerent views
as to the extent Of the influence political
conditions have upon the proposition OF
municipal ownership were presented to-
day in reviews made public by the Ma
tional Civic Federation as the result Of
Investigations in America and England.
Walter L. Fisher, president OF the Num-
cipal Voters League Of Chicago. in his
review points to the public schools. park
system and fire departments OF American
cities. He decries business administra-
tions. asserting that the object Of a muni-
cipality should not be money profit
Prof. Frank J. Goodnow. of Columbia
University reports that British city gov

nlcipal ownership than that Of American
cities. In his opinion the government Of
American cities is too complex and should
change considerably before municipal
ownership can be successful.

making the mile in s21 In the fifth
heat Meteor and Alice V. were dis
tanced, Daniel G. winning the heat in
2.23 Ia. When the sixth heat was
called, Starting Judge Davidson an
nounced that pane but heat winners
would compete thus reducing the field
to four horses, Sidnay b., Little Totts,
Donal Hal and Daniel C. Daniel c.
took the heat with Sidnay b. a close
second. In the seventh and final heat
Of the race there was nothing to IL but
Sidnay 3. and Daniel c. and a pret-
tier race has not been seen on the track
this season. The horses drove the en-
tire mile a half length apart, both under
the whip, Sidnay b., finishing first by
scarce a neck.
In the 212 pace there were but two
horses that had a showing to win,
Starlight and Annie II. Starlight FIN
ished second in the first heat with
Apnie H. in the lead. In the second
and third and fourth heats the black
stallion led the field and won the
money. In the third heat Of this race
Annie II. had Starlight badly poclS-
eted until the five-eights mark, when
the stallion by a heroic effort pulled
out of the hole and took the mile.
The first event was the 2.29 trot. Out
of the eighteen entries on the card only
six started. Donovan Boy, the bay
gelding owned and driven by William
Gallagher. Of Philadelphia. took three
straight heats. The last heat he went
the mile in 2.23 IA, lowering his pre-
vious record by six seconds.

SENDS THANKS FOR
As DAYS In PRISON

SEATTLE, Feb. IA post card
which has causd unlimit mirth along
the waterfront was yesterday received
by II. A. Hunt, manager of the Thomp-
son Steamship company, which operates
the steamer Perdita between Seattle
and Hoods Canal. The missive received
expressed the thanks of a Japanese boy
who was rescued by the officers and
crew of the Perdita after he had at
tempted to escape from one of the ori-
entail liners by jumping overheard last
June.
The Japanese, whose name is X. Mi
sawa, wanted to remain In this coun-
try. AS he was not qualified to do so,
according to the immigration laws, he
took matters into his o. hands and
jumped overheard off Apple Tree point.
Almost exhausted he was subsequently
picked up by the Perdita.

A FAIR PROPOSITION

In the matter of easement as to the
Hartman subway interest in the Oh
i've street school property the board of
education yesterday rose to the occa-
sion and unanimously agreed upon a
course of action which cannot be con-
sidered otherwise than fair, just and
equitable.
It should be remembered, in the first
place, that the city attorney has given
the board a written opinion to the eff
feet that it has no power to give away
the property of the schools and that
1t cannot transfer property to others
except for adequate compensation. In
view of this fact the offer of the rail-
way company to pay only 81, or any
other nominal sum, could hardly be
considered
But the board of education after
make the railway company this prop
osition To submit the question of
damages to a board of three arbitra-
tors, one to be appointed by the rail-
way, one by the board. and the third
by the two thus selected, and if these
two find themselves unable to agree
within three days, then the question
of the third member to be left to the
board of directors of the chamber of
commerce.
There is apparently no reason why
the railway company should not accept
this proposition-unless it should in
sist upon a policy of getting all it can
for nothing. The Herald has already
said that Los Angeles is not "a plea
yune town" 1t is always prepared TO
meet investing capital half way, and
even a little more, but Los Angeles.
with her enterprise and public spirit,
knows the necessity of taking care of
herself
Approaching the legal difficulties of
their situation, and yet desirous of not
interfering with great public improve
ments, the members of the board of
education have submitted proposition
which every man will recognize as
being fair to every interest. 1t is now
up to the railway company.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-15

The wit of the News in declaring
that "the way to detect gas leak is to
light a match" is highly inappropriate,
in view of the facts attending the
tragedy at the Higgins building. There
is no reason to believe that the en-
ployes of the gas company were either
reckless of their own lives or careless
of others They claim to have carried
no other light than that of pocket
flash, which cannot emit spark, and
there is nothing to show that they
carried anything else. The fact that
these woriImen escaped with their
lives-although seriously injured-ap-
pears to be conclusive proof that they
were not hunting leak with any sort
of light that could cause an explosion.
1t is Just as we'll to be reasonable as
we go along.

cAHunNoA AND WATER SUPPLY

The board Of directors Of the cham
Der of commerce have Joined with the
board OF water commissioners in op-
posing the proposed annexation of the
Cahuenga valley, upon which an elec-
tion will be held next week.
This will be disappointing to the
friends Of annexation, but it should be
conclusive.
The expression Of opinion by both
these important boards was determined
wholly upon the question of water. 1t
was upon this question that the board
Of water commissioners opposed this
annexation project from the start, but
the friends OF annexation replied with
some sort of agreement not to call
upon the city's water supply, but to
provide their own water.
But the chamber of commerce calls
attention to the fact that no man is
authorized to make such an agreement;
that the new territory has no inde-
pendent water supply, and that in the
event OF annexation the people of the
new territory would have just as much
right to an adequate water supply
from the city of Los Angeles as would
those of any other section of the city.
And the fact is known OF all men that
the demand upon the Los Angeles
water supply is already nbout "all that
the traffic Will bear" until the owens
river valley water shall be brought
down from the lake.
The argument, based upon the facts,
can hardly be controvcrted, and 1t is
plain to be seen that should we bring
into the city. at this time, this vast
proposed territory which has no water
supply of it's own, the result would be
highly detrimental to the interests of
Los Angeles.
Such being the situation, the people
Of this city should vote against the an
nexation of the Cahuenga valley dis
trict. And the election must not be al
lowed to 60 by default, either, but all
voters should go to the polls and ex-
press thei- determination in the matter,

PHONOGRAPH KEEPS
HER DYING WORDS

DENVER, Feb. 14.-With death near
at hand Mrs. Edward j. Mungen, the
wife of a wealthy oil operator of Fos-
toria, talks daily into phonograph so
that when she shall have passed away
her voice may cheer her sorrowing hus-
band.
Together the Mungens have made
tour of the world, and in each place of
interest they visited Mrs. Mungen has
recorded upon the cylinder her impress
sion of the sights seen. Besides, much
of the conversation between herself
and her husband is recorded by the
monograph.
When the physicians at Fostoria and
Toledo announced the death sentence
upon Mrs. Mungen, who is now II years
old, they said she probably would live
longer If taken to other climates.
Thereupon the Mungens set out upon
the globe encircling tour Recently they
arrived in Denver, having come from
India via Victoria, Seattle. Portland
and Salt Lake If the doctors think
Mrs. Mungen's present state of health
will permit they will make tour or
Colorado.
Upon arriving here Mrs Mungen's
first act was to repeat into the phono-
graph her impressions of the sights
between here and Salt Lake. She has
little chest in which she keeps cylinders
which contain comments her husband
nor anyone else has ever heard. This
will be repeated to him by the machine
after Mrs. Mungen dies. Mr.. Mungen
believes many a lonely hour will be
ameliorated by the cheering word of
his helpmate after she has passed away.
at will be like making another tour
of the world with Mrs. Mungen," he
said today. He is 6S years old, but
possesses a rugged constitution. and
