HULFoRD's EASY VICTORY

10 Stb O1L "
HULFoRD's EASY VICTORY
In the second race the talent was un-
able to select a horse for the honor
of favoritism and compromised by
sending Hulford and Magrane TO the
post equal choices at to l. This
proved TO have been good judgment,
as the pair ran one-two. Hulford. the
winner, was ridden by E. Lynch, and
Paddy Lynch prof1ted handsomely by
his victory. Commissions of the stable
and its connections drove Hulfords
price down from 6. Magrane had the
most early speed and obtained a lead
in the first quarter that made him
loom as the probable winner, but Hull
ford easily caught and passed him in
the stretch. Elevation, always well
up. captured third money. Confessor
and Hedgethorn, both well played,
were away poorly and were never
prominent.
Captain Rice's Lone Wolf, after hav-
ing drifted back from to An, Won
the third race galloping. Jockey
Fischer let Miss May Bowdish set the
pace for six furlongs and then sent
Lone Wolf to the front. -Four lengths
separated the pair at the end. Briers,
equal favorite with Byronerdale, man
aged TO save third money. Infiam-
mabie was outrun all the way. Byron
erdale, heavily played, stopped sud-
denly after looking dangerous at the
four-furlong pole
ANDREW MACK SCORES AGAIN
William Cahilrs apprentice rider,
Nutting, gave Andrew Mack intelli-
gent handling in the fifth and landed
that horse winner over Rightful by
a half length. Mack went to the post
at even money. after having opened
L..
the early stages Of the race, as usual,
but the boy moved up gradually with
him on the backstretch, and. passing
the leaders one by one, won with some
ting in reserve. Boloman, the pace
maker. succumbed to Rightful in the
final sixteenth and wound up in third
place. Mitre stopped after running out
after Boloman for a half mile. Mabel
Hollander was prominent for time,
but The Borgian had none of his Gus
tomary speed.

in THE KAUFM MANN CASE.
Defense Rests Without Placing De
PENDANT On the Stand.

tFlandreau, S. D., June 18.-Without
placing the defendant on the stand,
the defense rested in the trial Of Mrs.
Emma Kaufman Of Sioux Falls on the
charge Of numbering Agnes Polreis,
her young house servant.
Indications are that the case will
soon go to the jury. Testimony in re-
buttal was introduced by the state but
the defense baked the attempts OF
the prosecution to place before the
jury much evidence that was expected
to reinforce the case as presented In
the direct testimony. At one stage
Attorney Egan for the state requested
permission to reopen the case, but the
court declined to permit it.
When court adjourned for the day
Peter Erickson, the states star wit
ness, was on the stand and the court
had taken under advisement the ques-
ton as to whether certain evidence to
he offered through him was admissi-

N|PPEO IN NICK OF TIME
Black Sea Mutineers Ready to
Bombard Russian Towns.

Odessa, June lit now appears
that the mutiny here of the Black sea
fleet, consisting of eight battleships,
eight cruisers and a division of tor
pedo boats, whose crews in all num-
Der 5000 men, was discovered just In
time to prevent the planned lombard
ment of Odessa and the Caucasian
coast towns.
The fleet came here June II for
practice and had just entered Odessa
bay when the commanding officer, Ad-
miral Tzftsinky, on board the flagship
Rostislav, seeing that the orders were
not promptly obeyed and knowing of
the mutinous spirit animating the
crews, suddenly %signalled an order to
dismantle the guns and head back to
Sebastopol, where, after troops had
been sent on board the warships, sew
eral hundred sailors were disembarked
and imprisoned.

sistance to Orchard.

Boise, Ida, June 14.-The prosecu-

is ~devoting itself to further %corrobora-
ton of the testimony of Orchard rela-
tive to the two attempts, one with
strychnine and the other with dyna-
mite, IN the life of Fred Bradley OF
San Francisco and an endeavor to
directly connect Pettibone with the
operations of Orchard.
1t was again shown that Orchard
hung around the Bradley home, en-
gagged a room in the vicinity and met
the servants of the Bradley household.
He a seen moving his effects the
night before the explosion and he vas
traced to the house again after the
explosion occurred.
Then the state, by the record of the
United States postofices at San Fran.

letter from 81. Wolff" at 1925 Stout
street, Denver, which vas the address
Of Pettibone's store, to j. Dempsey at
San Francisco, sent in August, 1904,
when Orchard was there to kill Brad

Orchard in San Francisco. Orchard
swore this letter contained $500. The

Operative for Three Months.

Kansas City, June 1S.-The Missou-
ri 2-cent passenger fare act will go in
to effect at 6 a. m. on Wednesday and
be given a three months trial. If at
the end of that time 1t is found to be
unremunerative it's enforcement can
then be fought in the courts by the
railroads.
The state officials are temporarily
enjoined from enforcing the maximum
freight rate law and this case will be
argued later in the federal court.
Judge Smith Mcpherson. in the
United States district court here, after
handing down an opinion maintaining
the courts jurisdiction in the prem
7ses. ordered the PRONUNCIATION of the
above stated facts. which had been
agreed to by the attorneys for the
state and the eighteen Missouri rail
roads involved. The court in its de-
cision had suggested that the 2-cent
Fare should be first given a practical
trial before injunction proceedings
preventing its enforcement be con
.Sidered.

OUMA IS DISSOLVED
Gar Puts an End to Second Rus

new ELECTIONS ORDERED
Breach Of Constitution Justified on tho
Ground That Only by Such Means
Can Anarchy Be Overcome.

st. Petersburg, June 16.-Emperor
Nicholas affixed his signature this
morning to an imperial ukase abolish
ing the present duma and ordering
that the election of members to it's
successor, which is to meet Nov. IA,
be held under the new election law
that provides against the "submerg-
ence of the educated classes by the
~uneducated masses"
This act constitutes a virtual coup
d'etat and overrides the specific pro-
visions of the fundamental laws of the
realm, solemnly proclaimed by his
majesty on the eve of the c~onvocation
of the first duma, which declare that
the electoral law could never be
changed without the consent of par
liament itself.
This breach of the constitution is
justified by the great law of necessity,
the advisers of the emperor holding it
impossible, under present conditions,
to secure a parliament capable of CO.
operating tremendously with the crown
to rescue Russia from anarchy and
revolution.
The city has again assumed the ap-
pearance Of an armed camp. The
guard regiments have left their sum
mer camp at Krasnoye-Selo for st.
Petersburg and throughout the night
detachments of infantry and cavalry
have been arriving here. The garri.
son of st. Petersburg is now double
its ordinary strength, the guard regi.
ments having been replaced by regi-
ments Of the line when the former
went into camp. Long lines Of trans.
port wagons, with camp equipages
etc, trundled through the main streets
all morning, ~intersrersed with occa
sional detachments of cavalry and in.
fantry marching to their quarters.

It's usual appearance, but the indus
trial sections literally bristled with
troops. Every railroad station is oc-
cupied by two companies of infantry
and two %squadrons of cavalry and ar.
mored military trains are held in
readiness in view of the possibility of
the outbreak of a railroad strike and
the reserves of all the regiments are
confined to barracks.

Uniform System of Accounts After
July 1.

Washington, June 15.-The inter-

mulgated a uniform system of &C.
counts for railroads, provided for I'M
der the railroad rate law passed at the
last session of congress. The system
will go into effect July 1 covering OPP
Grating and operating ex-
penses and thereafter railroads will be
compelled to file monthly reports. The
method adopted is intended to insure
a correct statement Of net revenues
from operations and is expected to re-
suit in keeping the cost of improve
ments out of operating expenses and
therefore exclude them from the count
of performing business. The expense
Of soliciting traffic is separated from
the expense of hauling traffic. The
construction accounts are to be so
drawn that a record Of the physical
