EXPECTED TO ATTAIN WEALTH.
Visitors Who Played the Races Meet
With Grief.

Two young men who came here expecting
to attain wealth by backing the ponies met
with grief yesterday. They backed the
wrong horses, the usual story, and when
they were broke sought relief from their
mental troubles. One of the visitors was
John Munkhey. thirty-fve years of age, a
resident of Philadelphia. After losing what
little cash he had he turned his attention
to the flowing bowl, but even that did not
give him the relief he desired About 5
O'Clock in the afternoon, while in front of
81 Pennsylvania avenue, he feebly used a
razor on his throat, drawing blood. Police
man Lynch knocked the razor from his
hand.
Munkhey was removed to the Casualty
Hospital, where the slight wound was
dressed. His friends were communicated
with.
The other young man down and OUT
was from New York. He gave his name as
Morris Lemoyne. and said he resided at 80
West 18th street. After losing $500 at the
races he landed at the Baltimore and Ohio
depot and was talking about killing himself
when the attention of a policeman was at
tracted to him. The young man was es-
corted to police headquarters, but when he
reached there he had experienced a change
of mind regarding self-destruction.
There's no use in killing myself" he said
All l want now is to get back to New
York. / gave up a good position to come
here to play Lady Vera and Alpenmarchen -
The visitor said he played $50 on the
former horse and s19o on the latter In
spector Boardman communicated with

EXPERIMENTS WITH ALFALFA.
Recent Successful Efforts Of the Agri-
cultural Department.

Plant breeding, although an old and WELL
known scheme among botanists, has de-
veloped in the past few years where it
closely approaches the breeding of animals
in variety Of methods and certainty Of re-
suits. The Department Of Agriculture has
been working recently with alfalfa and
other forage plants, and has produced
some good results in a new way that
promises to greatly shorten the work of
selection. Alfalfa particularly is a plant
that has been hard to work with, because
1t took long to develop a given strain
from seed. There might be promising in
dividual plant with very desirable qualities
but 1t took several years work to propagate
1t from seed and secure such a quantity
that 1t could be raised on anythink like
scale to give a practical test.
Now, however, the department has hit on
the very simple and practical scheme of
propagating the plant from cuttings and
not waiting for the seed. 1t has been found
that cuttings can be taken rapidly from the
plant in the green house and transpianted
to cold frames on the outside These can
the percentage of loss is very small in
deed. 1t has been found that in the course
of single winter more plants can be Sc
cured in this way than from seed selection
in two years. So the element of time In
the work of selection has been largely
eliminated

BREWERY WORKERS STRIKE.

ST. LOUIS, March 3o-Brewery workers
to the number of 900, said to include men
from every brewery in st. Louis, went on
a strike yesterday for increases in wages
ranging from 5 to GO per cent. A similar
strike took place in East ST. Louis. H.,

forty men walking out
Several conferences failed to bring about
an agreement. The boss brewers offered to
compromise on a general per cent in
crease.
The workers demanded a sliding scale in
crease.
The boss brewers, learning of the de-
clsion of the brewery workers to strike. dc
cided to offer fiat advance to all employees
of 81 a week. This offer was not conveyed
to the representatives of the workers in
time to prevent the walkout.
1t is estimated that the strike will in
volve loss in material to the breweries II
it continues for any length of time of more
than 100000. The total increase I'm wages
demanded is estimated at 100000 year

PENNSYLVANIA Train Stoned.

PITTSBURG, March 30.-Under cover of
darkness Thursday night stones were
throw at a fast passenger train on the
Pennsylvania railroad as it was passing
through the Brushton district. The stones
crashed through the car windows, injuring
four persons seriously and creating a panic
among the passengers. Following acct
dents to four of the railroads most i'm
portant passenger trains within the last
few weeks the attack is causing the rail-
road officials much anxiety. The four per-
sons injured were F. w. Clark and wife of
Pittsburg, Miss Grace Woodward of Cleve-
land and Miss Catherine Smith of Brad
dock. The injured were taken from the
train at Williamsburg and brought back to
the city. They were all badly cut about the
face and head by flying glass. Efforts to
catch the men who have been wrecking
and stoning the Pennsylvania railroad
trains were redoubled yesterday. Railroad
detectives last night admitted that out OF
the 1900 employees on the Pittsburg
division more than 1900 are under constant
surveillance.

MONEY TO PROBE GRAFT
RUDOLPH SPRECKELS GUARAN-
TEES EXPENSE IN ANY SUM.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30.-Rudolph
Spreckels financial sponsor of the investi-
cation of municipal corruption now in
progress, yesterday declared that he would
guarantee the expenses of the inquisition
to any amount.
contributions from citizens to the fund
of 100000 guaranteed by me before the
commencement of the bribery graft investi-
cation are coming in steadily" said Spreck
els. They are in amounts ranging from
$50 to $1,000. In the event that the ulti-
mate total of subscriptions falls short of
the 100000 guaranteed, 1 will make the
deficit good, and If 1t costs more than $780,
OOO to complete this prosecution, that will
make difference. Those engaged in its
furtherance will never be hampered by lack
of funds, no matter what the bill may be.
1.-THE work Of investigating will not be
suspended until every bit Of rottenness has
been fully exposed. We fully expect to
land behind the bars of the penitentiary
every giver of brides, and the higher up
the offender the more vigorous will be his
pursuit.
I'VE do not, however expect to send
every bribe-taker to prison. Some Of the
miserable men who sold themselves to the
corporations must be granted immunity for
their testimony, which Is worth great
high corporation officials than their own
deal more to US as evidence of the guilt OF
Incarceration would be.
Every department OF Ine city ana county
government will be thoroughly examined
into before the investigation is completed,
the police department along with the 9TH
ers No one will be neglected, no set OF
officials will be overlooked"
Since the arrest of Abraham Ruef at the
Trocadero a month ago rumors have been
rife that an attempt would be made to res
cue him by force from Ellison Buggy, either
during session of court or while Ruef
was going to court. An officer prominent
in the bribery investigation yesterday said:
Every man openly identified with the
prosecution of the bribery charges Is armed.
and some of the more prominent are en-
ploying bodyguards. For a month We have
been keeping a special lookout for an at
tempted rescue of Ruef, and we shall be
happily surprised If these Investigations and
impending prosecutions end without
physical encounter.
Several times when Ruef was in Judge
DUNES court a sudden movement of reck
less men toward the prisoner has been
checked quickly and quietly by officers of
the prosecution.
I'VE know that should Ruef be rescued,
1t would not be a difficult thing to hide
him securely right in San Francisco. The
prosecution knows this, and is taking no
chances.
Each one of Biggy's seven guards are
instructed. in the event of serious attempt
at rescue by force. either in court or else
where, to shoot Ruef and turn their at
tention to the liberators afterward. Ruef
has been acquainted with these orders.
