"WALKINGUP" START
IN USE NEXT YEAR

Next season the racehorses competing
under the jurisdiction OF the Jockey
Club will be sent away from the bar
rier while they are in motion. The
standing start now in vogue on the
Eastern tracks will be shelved. The
new system will be inaugurated at the
Bennings racetrack in the spring.
The stewards Of the Jockey Club de-
cided on this change after a confer
ence Saturday. The method Of start
ing has been a bone OF contention for
some time between the turf officials.
The advocates of a new style Of
starting had their claims strengthened
by the fdcent poor work of Mars Cas-
sidy. These men have contended that
it was the system and not the starter
that was at fault. On many occasions
they said the barrier was released
when the horses were in a perfect line.
but the start was made to seem rag
ged by the alertness of one or two
riders and the ability Of their mounts
to break" much faster than the re-
mainder of the field.
This would not have been the case.
the champions of the moving start
have asserted. If the horses were sent
away when in line and walking toward
the barrier. Under this method all
horses would be able to catch the
stride quickly and none would be lef,
at the post.
One Of the strong advocates Of the
new system Of starting is James r.

At his request. the Water Commits
sioners yesterday afternoon, at their
regular weekly meeting, reduced the
salary of Bacteriologist A. Robin from
$4,000 to $1,000 a year. DR.. Robin made
the request because sometime ago the
board gave him certain time to attend
TO his medical practice and he thought
that as this time was his own, he
should not be receiving city pay for it.
DR. Robin asked the board to reduce
his salary at the rate of S125 a month
every three months until the $500 had
been taken Off He also requested one
half each day for his own use, except
when the duties of his position as
city bacteriologist required his atten-
ton.
The board officially accepted the
Weldin farm reservoir which was con-
structed by jeremiah T. Finch at a
cost of $16S. 900. There is still owing
the firm $4,000 on the contract and
this will be paid within thirty days.

''FITZ" IS READY

Never was a fighter more confident Of

two sparring partners and rubbed each
of them down afterward and put them
to bed.
"When are you going TO grow old:''
an inquiring visitor asked
Il haven't thought yet" he
answered. IF you think that I'm an
old man now why put on the gloves
with me. / need another sparring
partner"
The grand old man Of the prize
ring has really worked with his whole
heart and soul 10 1T himself for tho
coming bout. IL may be his fourth
defeat and his last battle. He may
be carried from the ring to sink into
pugilistic oblivion. He may not have

Novel Pocketbook.

Why do women fill their pocket
books so full of articles that sides
bulge out and the clasps break? 1t
is necessary to concede the fact that
the ordinary women's pocketbooks
are not very large. Probably this
accounts for the fact that pocket
books are being discarded and hand
bags introduced. A New Jersey iH-'
ventor has devised a unique article
which he terms a pocketbook, but
which nevertheless, has the carrying
capacity of a handbag. 1t really re-
sembles what might be called a min
lature dress-suit case or travelling
bag. In the accompanying illustrs-
ion it is shown in an open position.
Across the top is a wire frame simi-
lar to those used in a travelling bag,
but, of course, smaller. On each
side Of the frame are clasps by which
the pocketbook can be opened Or

Austin, Tex. Feb. 25.-By a

today discharged the investigat-

session several weeks looking
into charges against United
States Senator Joseph w. Bailey.
The anti Bailey following had
offered a resolution instructing
the committee not to bring in a
report at this time, but to send a
sub committee to ST. Louis to Sc
cure the testimony of III. CLAW
Pierce, of the Waters Pierce Oil
Company, and to embody such
evidence in the committees final
report. Adherents of Senator
Bailey promptly offered a sub

without making a report and that
Senator Bailey be fully endorsed.

substitute resolution was passed
