To ADOPT new
STARTING METHODS
Mars Cassidy Notified That
He May Operate With the
WaIk-Up System Next
Season.

NEW YORK, December IA rumor
has been in circulation among local turf
men that the state racing commission
will exercise more authority in the gen.
eral supervision of the sport in this state
next year than ever before and that in
cidentally the members of the commits
sion-James Wadsworth. John Sanford
and N. h. Knapp-will recommend strong
ly to the Jockey Club that the walk-up
system of starting be adopted without
further delay. Just who started this
rumor nobody seemed to know, but In
f1uential turfmen when asked for an
opinion declared that the state racing
commission had no power to act and that
it's duties were limited solely to the
granting Of race-track licenses. Further
more, these turfmen said that the Jockey
Club had decided some time ago to adopt
the walk-up system next season. and that
when the spring meeting at Bennins
opens next March there would be no
morc flat-footed breakaways.
AS matter of fact. these turfmen
insisted that the stewards of the Jockey
Club reached their conclusions last Sep
TENDER and intended to make an imme-
date change at that time. but after de-
liberation it was concluded that such
change would cause no end of confusion
at the barrier because of the fact that
go per cent of the horses had not been
SchOOled to the new method,

DRUNKARDS WILL

Hyde Park SaIOOniStS De-
sire a Collection.

CHICAGO, ILL, October IL
The Hyde Park Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation las a matter of self-protection
has started a crusade against those
who over-imbibe.
Notices have been sent out by the
secretary of the association request
ing each bartender to ask for the
photograph of every drunkard from
his wife or family in case complaint
is made about selling liquor to them.
The pictures then are to be sent to
the secretary of the association, and
he in turn is to have copies made
and sent to every member of the as
sociation.
These pictures then are to be past
ed on the mirror behind the bar so
that the dispenser of drinks may
see at a glance if he is selling liquor
to a drunkard.
Two members of the association
have been prosecuted by women for
having sold intoxicating drinks to
their husbands This caused the
to brand drunkards.

MARRIED FOR SPITE;
PRECAER IS AFFINITY

NEW YORK, October 17.-(SpeciaD
Mrs. Dora Bauer, the affinity of
Rev Maxwell J, H. Valenta, who was
arrested with the pastor Saturday and
held for investigation as to her san
ity, declared that she had never loved
Louis Bauer, her husband, and had
married him Just for spite"
Mrs. Bauer had long consultation
with her counsel. Later in the day
she appeared in the special term of
the Supreme Court, asking for a writ
of certiorari, her counsel asserting
that the complaint against his client
was improperly made out and con-
tanned no charge which would war
rant her detention.
Il never loved Bauer" she said.
Il came to Brooklyn from Costa
RIGA, where my father was a wealthy
planter. l had just love affair in my
home city, my sutton being a fine
young man whom | loved very much.
But we had falling out over some
petty affair, and | came to the United
States to get into new surroundings.
Soon after | came l met Mr.. Bauer.
He pressed his suit very persistent
ly, and although l did not love him
| decided to marry him just to spite
my former lover. 1t was a very fool
isCh, girlish prank, and | was sorry
for it as soon as l met Mr.. Valenta.
My meeting with Mr.. Valenta was
Gods work; he and ! are both conf
dent of that 1t was atrue union
of souls. We shall always be together
in spirit, and as soon as we are lib
Grated we shall be together in fact.
The case resulted in the discharge
of the prisoners with the preacher
consenting to accompany his father
an aged minister, to the Brooklyn SUI
preme court, where he confessed his
willingness to be sent to a sanitar-
ium. Young RMS. Bauer was taken
by her lawyer to the home of an
aunt to live.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, ard that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

COMMERCE SHOULD
BIZ ABSOLUTELY FREE
Justice GaynOr Discusses
Railroads at Norfolk,

NORFOLK, VA, Oct 17-(SpeciaD-
Justice William ). Gaynor, of New
York, was the Brooklyn Day orator
Tuesday He began by paying a
warm tribute to the South.
In speaking of the railroads he
said:
We cannot too often think of this
thing. Our commerce should be alb
solutely free. Competition in it must
be free, and not destroyed by the aid
of privilege or favoritism. There is
no other way to prevent monopolies,
and no greater curse can come to a
country than monopolies
THAT our railways, which are and
We're from the beginning by law-by
the very law of their being-our pub
lie highways, should be used to Gre
ate and sustain mOnopolies, is the
greatest crime Of our day and gener-
alton | need not say to you that if
/ can get my oil, or my sugar, or my
tobacco, or my wheat, or my wire
fence, or any commodity, carried over
ne highways of the country at one
quarter or one-third the freight which
you have to pay, l can thereby under
sell you and all competitors that
much in the market and ruin YOU
and establish a monopoly in my
self
And that is what has been done for
many years all over the country and
is being done now. Some think that
because a penal law was passed
against it that it was stopped. They
do not know the Unreasonable dis
lance between the passing of some
laws and their observance.
That the highways of the coun-
try should be used to carry the freight
of a few less than the rate which all
competitors have to pay, and thereby
enable them to undersell any such
competitors that much, and drive out
of business and establish monopolies
are so criminal that our descendants
will look back upon us as a genera
ton largely lost to moral sense for
having suffered it to continue so
long. And this favoritism in freight
rates is given in all the principal
products of the country, thereby Great
ing monopolies in each of them No
country ever had as many commercial
monopolies as we now have in this
country"

NO PLOT TO BLOW
UP GERMAN YACHT
Chief WiIkie Denies Berlin
Story.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. II
(SpeciaI Chief John Wilkie, of the
Secret Service, scouts the story OF
Emil White, self-styled former coun-
cilor of the German Embassy at
Washington" who has just published
a document in Berlin, in which he de-
clares that in 1902, when Prince
Henry was a visitor to this country,
a plot was Matched here to blow up
the royal yacht Hohenzollern, then in
New York harbor, the purpose of the
outrage being to embroil this coun-
try and Germany in war.
The author, who has published his
work under the impressive title of
Secrets of the German Embassy -
says he came to America under the
guise of a correspondent for German
papers and became "chummy" with
newspaper men here, thereby obtain
ing the publication of pro- Germany
articles on behalf of the embassy.
In support of his statement regard
ing the plot to destroy the Hohen-
zollern, Witt cites the fact that the
Kaisers yacht, which bore the prince,
left her mornings two days before
the scheduled time for her departure.
This, he says, was due to the discov-
cry of the plot

SENATE HAS a JOLLY TIME.
Members Throw Paper Wads and Jug
gle With Pay of Messengers.

The senate put in most of the morn
ing watching and waiting. Part of
the time the members played catch,
back and forth across the senate
chamber, with an old baseball which
had been discovered
About the only excitement was
when. in a burst of generosity, the
senate voted to increase the pay of
its messengers from 50 to SO per day
for the entire session. The messengers
are the three boys employed by the
state to go to the Santa Fe, Rock
Island and Union Pacific offices and get
railroad passes for the members. They
may have a few other errands to do
now and then, but the paths to the
railroad offices are best known to
them. The senators thought this
morning that SO a day was not too
much to pay for such important ser
vice.
This was the third think which the
senate has taken on the matter. About
a week ago, they voted to raise the pay
from 50 to SO per day. This raised
such a rumpus with the other boys,
who are employed as pages. and get
only 81 a day. that the motion was re-
considered. and laid on the table. This
morning. on motion of Senator Porter
of Montgomery county, the motion
was taken from the table. and passed.
This means about $50 more for each
Of the three messengers.
After fooling around till noon, the
senate adjourned till 1 o'clock.

PHOTOGRAPH OF THE VOICE.
Wonderful Machine May Create a New
Phonetic Writing.

The invention described in the
Matin as "photographing the voice"
which was announced by DR.. Morage
at the Sorbonne the other day seems
at first glance to be more curious than
useful. 1t is a side development from
the wonderful system of telegraphing
devised by Messrs. Pollak and Virag by
which messages can be transmitted at
the rate of 10000 words an hour and
automatically transcribed at the re-
ceiving end. No clerk. of course,
could transmit a message at a tenth of
this speed. The transmitter is fed with
perforated strips which are produced
by a sort of typewriting machine, and
the perforations determine the inter-
walls between currents. A dozen clerks
or as many perforating machines
would be working on different mes
sages or on different parts of the same
message in order to feed the transmit
ter fast enough.
The advantage is in the enormously
increased capacity of a single wire. 1t
IS the transcription apparatus that is
the essence CT the invention. This
consists of an oscillating mirror which
reflects a ray of light from a lamp
placed in front of it onto a moving
Photographic film. In the Geographic
device the movements of the mirror
are determined by the intervals In the
electric current, and the ray OF ngnt.
as 1t were. writes the message on the
Photographic film, which is automatic
ally developed and fixed.
The adaptation of this apparatus to
the purpose of 'photographing the
voice" apparently consists in the sub
for Geographic purposes
of sound vibrations for the electric
current as the agitator of the mirror
The person whose voice is to be photo
graphed speakes into a microphone
and the variations of sound determine
the vibrations of the mirror and this
makes a Photographic record. describ-
ed as Tighter or darker streaks, cor

quality of the voice. BY experience
one would learn to recognize the par
ticuIar modification of the "streaks'
which corresponds to each letter or
word and to varying qualities OF tone
1t is said that the record can be
read easily with little practice. If that
is so the invention might perhaps
create a new phonetic writing which
would put the controversy about pho
netic spelling out of date and would
