PREVENT CRUELTY TO JOCKEYS

Los Angeles, Jan. 15.-Local authori-
ties of the National Society for the
prevention of cruelty to children have
served notice upon the officials of As
cot Park to cease allowing Jockeys
under 16 years of age to be employed
at the track or prosecutions will be
instituted.
The society declares that a recent
inves tigation disclosed that several of
the boys riding at the track were under
the limit of 16 years established by
law. In addition it Is alleged that the
boys are compelled to ride in very
seanty clothing during the most incle
ment weather. The racing officials are
warned against allowing this to con-
tinue.
Owing to the conditions of the course
the steeple chase that was on the card
for the first at Ascot park yesterday
was called off and a race for S-year-
oIds and upward over the five and a
half furlong course was put on.

STORIES OF SCOTCH JUDGES.
INDUCED In Levity When human Life
Was at Stake.

Lord Salvesen in an address at
Edinburgh recalled the old days when
human life was held very cheap and
judges frequently INDUCED in levity
when life was at stake.
On one occasion Sir Francis Bacon
was nightly importuned" by a male
factor to save his life. All appeals
failed and the culprit at length
pleaded for mercy on account of his
kindred Your name" said he, is
Bacon and my name is Hog, and in
all ages Hog and Bacon are SO nearly
kindred that they are not to be sepa-
rated" AYE, but" replied the judge.
you and l cannot be kindred except
you be hanged, for Hog is not Bacon
until it be well hanged"
Similar caIlousness was evinced by
Scottish judges even as late as the
18th century. Lord Braxfeld seemed
to have taken a positive pleasure in
was he who told an unfortunate cul-
prit that he was a very clever fellow
but that he would be name the waur
O. hanging"
On another occasion, when this
judge noticed juryman who was a
personal friend entering the court he
exclaimed: Come ava Mister, come
ava, and help me to hang few O
they damned seoondrels."
In 1870 Lord Kaimes presided at
the trial of a man named Matthew
Hay, with whom he had been in the
habit of playing at chess. He summed
up against the prisoner and when he
was convicted exclaimed, That's
checkmate to you, Matthew"

Boston with his pals, Laurie Farnham
and Tom Cunningham, two rich mems
sons. In a fight with some card sharks
Cunningham hits a man over the head
with a wine bottle, and fearing the
consequences the trio make their es-
cape before the police arrive Hoping
to find hiding place and also to take
needed rest, they find their way to a
sanitarium in the Virginia mountains
Cunningham meets his, sweetheart
there, and Hicks falls in love with
the pretty head nurse, Molly Kelly,
who proves to be the sister of the man
injured by Cunningham in the esca-
pade In Boston.
This interesting situation is en-
HANGED by the fact that the sanitarium
is placed under quarantine, and as the
servants are all absent, the guests
have to serve themselves In the
course of the play Hicks shoulders
Cunningham's guilt, and thus puts
himself lin wrong, as he expresses it,
with the nurse.
The singing and dancing numbers
manifest the genius of Ned Wayburn
for such things, and there is not a
chorus feature in the show that is not
new and original. The company is
large and the production is an unusu-
ally artistic one.

WAS GESSLER
A GOLD BRICK?
President Hermann Saws
He Was Bunkoed in Trad
ing For Fraser.
IS HANDED A DEAD ONE
LOOKS Like an Attempt at False
Practices Says Cincinnati Base
ball President.

cincinnati, o., Jan. 14.-President
hermann was angry today when ne
read the report from Chicago that
Charies w. Murphy had decided to
trade Outfelder Harry Gessler for
Chick" Fraser. Murphy has been
anxious to close the deal for Fraser
for some time. During the meeting
OF the National Commission here last
week, Mr.. Hermann sounded him on
the subject, offering large cash bonus
II Murphy would consent to part with
Reulbach, Lundgren, Pfeister King,
Moran or some other experienced
player.
All these propositions were spurned
by the Cub chief. Finally Mr. Her
mann made another offer of a fiat
trade for Fraser for Gessler. who was
secured by the Cubs last season from
Brooklyn to act as utility man. The
Chicago owner refused, and there the
matter dropped.
The following day Mr.. Murphy
agreed to give Mr.. Hermann a choice
of two propositions. In exchange for
Fraser he promised to give either
$1,000 in cash or $500 in cash and
either. Catcher Sebaughn or Outfelder
randall, young players drafted by
Chicago from the Western League. The
offer was accepted by the Red chief,
who promised to let Murphy know
which proposition would be taken as
soon as he had communicated with
Manager Hanlon.
1t was therefore a big surprise when
Murphy announced in Chicago that
Fraser had been traded for Gessler.
Hermann Suspects Gold Brick.
TT looks to me-" said Mr. Hermann
today, like an attempt at false prac-
tees on the part of Murphy. / have
an idea that when he got book to Chi
ca go he Found out that GessTersfl had NOT
decided to play professional baseball
any longer, but to retire from the
game to practice dentistry at his
nome in Pennsylvania. Thereupon he
attempted to hand me a dead one In
exchange for Fraser.
Il have plenty of witnesses to tes-
-ify that Murphy would not consider
Tor minute any offer for Gessler
Later he made a proposition which
accepted Then he goes back to the
4essler deal, which was entirely dis
posed OF a week ago.

A, probably the two best swimmers in
the country, are matched for a 1000
yard or a mile race at New York Feb.
90. This is the date set for a dual
aquatic meet between the two clubs.
Handy and Daniels have been match
ed several times, but the decisive race
has fallen through nearly every time.
Daniels, who won many points at the
Olympic games at Athens last year, is
best at the shorter distances up to a
mile, while the Chicago boy excels in
the distances from a half mile to a
mile.
