Gossip of the Track

The stewards yesterday instituted an
inquiry into the circumstances under
which Jockey Miller, on Grace G, car
ried Princess Titania wide In the
stretch on Thursday and then. as al
legged, called to Jockey Tommy Sandy
to come on and win with Mary F, the
favorite. All three Jockeys were sum-
moned before the officials. Jockey Nc
Bride gave version of the affair sub
stantially as it was published in The
Call yesterday morning. Jockey Miller
stated that he had not Intentionally
carried McBride's mount wide, and that
when Mcbride drew his attention to
the fact that horse was coming on
the inside he simply called out to
Sandy that he would not cut him Off
Jockey Sandy declared that Miller
would have been unable to cut Mary
off, even had he SO desired. The
officials dismissed the matter, with an
admonition to all concerned against
the employment of doubtful riding tao
tics and an assurance to Jockey Nc
Bride that II he had any complaints
to make at any time they would re-
ceive the same consideration IL d.
rected against Jockey Miller as against
any other rider.

ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER SHOW
By r. r. rr1on1r11edieu.

J. ". Leavitt. president OF the Auto
mobile Dealers Association Of Cali
fornia, returned Thursday from the
Los Angeles show. He was well pleased
with the southern exhibition. In
speaking Of his trip, he said: From
what / saw IN the south ] feel more
certain than ever that our show is
going TO be one OF the most success
ful events ever given west OF Chicago.
The average attendance nightly at the
southern show was about 1000. A
point that will be to our advantage
is that we will have more 1907 cars
on hand than they did at Los Angeles.
There were some 1907 cars at Los
Angeles, but il was impossible TO
bring them all out as they were on
exhibition at Chicago.
y. p. Cooper, the show manager, re-
ports that he has received requests
for space from q firm IN San Jose and
from four In Oakland. There was some
talk OF cutting down the space Of some
OF those 10 whom space has been al
lOtted. When the matter was brought
to the notice OF President Leavitt he
said: we cannot do that Thoee who
have been given space have made their
deposits and are entitled to what has
been given TO them II they, person
ally, want to give part OF IT up. all

UNCHANGED
Is the Local Strike Of Telegraphers
and No Violence Indi-
Gated As Yet.

The strike situation at the West
ern Union office here remains un-
changed. Messrs. Robey and Rey-
nolds, the two operators who walked
out yesterday afternoon, when the
whistle blew, have manifested no in
tention as yet of returning to work.
The Office is pretty we'll tied up,
only Manager Boggess and the lady
clerk, besides the messenger boys,
being there to run the business of
the company. However, they are do
ing remarkably well under the cir
cumstances.
The strikers have made no demon
stration so far toward interfering
with the conduct of the office and
doubtless will not unless some strike
breakers are imported.

ICHECKERED CAREFR
EDWARDS CHECK HAS.
But Davis Who Indorses It For skin.
ner Succeeds in Getting His
Money Back.
CHECK USED IN GAMBLING
And AS the Result the Drawer OF Il
Stops Payment at Bank
of Its Amount.

Constable G. A. Waldo at Weston
Wednesday afternoon succeeded in
recovering for Joseph A. Davis of
the Manhattan saloon $125.OO on a
check that he had Indorsed for
George Skinner, of Weston, and SKIN
ner thus escaped prosecution on the
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses.
The check was signed by ]. n.
Edwards and issued about the middle
of July, but not cashed until this
week. Skinner came to the city and
having known Mr.. Davis number
of years asked him to identify him
at bank Mr.. Davis being busy stat
ed that it would be just as well for
him to indorse the check. Skinner
then got the money on the check at
a local bank. In due time the check
reached bank at Weston and was
there protested and sent back to the
bank here. Mr.. Davis then had to
reimburse the bank.
The next development was that
payment of the check had been stop
ped some time ago, the check hav-
ing been used in a gambling trans
action but not by Mr.. Edwards. This
was not known by Mr.. Davis at the
time he indorsed It,
Constable Waldo went to Weston
fully armed to arrest Skinner, but
the latter through his brother paid
the $125.OO to Mr.. Davis and re-
tanned the check to collect from Ed
wards, If he can do so.
It seems that Mr.. Edwards depos-
tied the check with business con-
cern he is connected with, as collat-
eral, and another person connected
with the concern had used 1t in
gambling transaction, and for this
reason Mr.. Edwards had payment of
1t at bank stopped.

NO ACTION
Will Be Taken By the President, at
Present at Least, in the
TiclIer's Strike.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y. Aug. Is
President Roosevelt will not concern
himself personally with the tele-
graphers' strike, according to the
best information available here.
Appeals to the President to take
some action looking to a settlement
of the strike were received at the
executive office here from boards OF
trad and commercial bodies of a
large number of cities.
The applications were similar in
character to those formulated by the
Chicago board of trade. The COM
munications have been referred and
it is understood no instructions or
recommendations have been forward
ed to Mr.. Neill.
1t is stated here that he has as yet
made no report to the President ncr
has he received messages from Mr..
Roosevelt, touching upon the matter
in hand.
Mr.. Neills movements, however,
have been closely followed. and while
the direct statement is not made,
the impression is given that IN Mr..
Neill's effort the administration con-
siders that the limits of its functions
and authority in the matter are be-
ing exercised.

Is the Backbone of the Telegraphers'
Strike in the City of
New York.
rny Aaaoe1atea Prepp.1

NEW YORK, Aug. 15-Oficials
of the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph Companies declared today
that the strike of operators is prac-
tically broken and that enough men
are at work to handle all the busi-
ness offered. From the newspapers
point of view, the situation Is de-
cidedly improved. Many of the
leased wires to New York operated
by newspapers Throughout the coun-
try are manned and press associa-
tions report their traffic practically
normal. The Associated Press is
maintaining its customary circuit5
fully manned.
At the general offices of the two
, telegraph companies, 1t was said to-
day that every hour is bringing them
nearer to normal traffic conditions.
"The strike is over" declared
President and General Manager
Clowry, of the Western Union. I'VE
have applications from strikers to-
day but we are filled up and cannot
place them"
The Associated Press is moving
its report and under steadily inn
proving conditions. Last night the
service was resumed to several addf-
tional points and these we're further
increased today.
The local officers of the union still
express confidence in the outcome
and dispute the company's claim
that business is being handled satis-
factorily. They say they are re-
ceiving constant additions to their
ranks, and deny that any union men
applied for reinstatement.
