A number of the young horses of Harry
Payne Whitney's establishment. bred at the
Brookdale farm. have been nominated for
the grand prix de Paris of 1909 and for the
classic races in England. Mr. Whitney is
still abroad and nothing definite is known
of his plans for sending horses to England
and France, but it was said that the en-
gagements were made with the idea that
the horses might be sent abroad If they
showed well enough here to justify it.
EX-Jockey George Odom, now a trainer
and owner of horses has taken charge of
the lightweight boy Garner, and will make
Gamers engagements for him through the
remainder of the season. Garner proved too
troublesome for Mr.. Bissert, who, acting
for j. A. Drake, had custody of the boy

Brown and his chief heir again has recon-
s!dered his intention of entering racing. and
has arranged with the Fasig-Tipton Com
pany for the disposal of the Senorita stud
in Kentucky, which he reassembled after
selling out once before to settle the estate.
Mr.. Brown sold the big stable formed by hts
brother and his resentment a. what he
thought bad management, when Salvidere,
Accountant, Frank Gill and other horses
won great sums after being sold by the
Brown stable for modest prices, caused him
to decide to enter racing himself. He paid
big prices for the horses of the Senorita
stud. two stations and twelve Mares among
which Broomstick bought for S14 900:
Garry Hermann, bought for $500: Audi
ence bought for S12. 900. and Flocarline and
Run of Luck. bought for 5000 each. The
sale is to be held at Lexington, KY. in No

The boat has no rudder and can be manip-
ulated in all directions-forward, backward,
also sideways-which is quite uncommon
with the ordinary rowing boats. 1t can also
be turned round very easily. The first boat
after this principle was built to carry eight
and travelled about nine and one-half miles
an hour. Capsizing is impossible, and a
child can manage the boat. The invention
is protected by patent in all countries.

WALLACE BANKING JOHNSON
TACOMA MAN RETURNS FROM a
POLITICAL MISSION
IN THE EAST.

TACOMA, Oct 23.-To wean promi-
nent democrats of the Northwest away
from the leadership of William Jen-
nings Bryan and to interest them in
the candidacy of Governor Johnson Of
Minnesota for the presidential nomina
ton on the democratic ticket is said
to be the mission in Tacoma of Hugh
Wallace, prominent in democratic
national politics and son-in-law Of
Chief Justice Fuller of the supreme
court of the United States.
Although maintaining nominal res
idence in Tacoma, where he holds ex-
tensive railroad interests. Mr.. Wallace
spends most of his time in Washing
ton, d. c., and New York City For
twenty years he has been actively in
terested in national politics. remain
ing staunch democrat until Bryans
first campaign for the presidency Mr..
Wallace became a gold democrat in
LOU, anu SIlict tlldt time He mas Dcel
constant opponent of Bryan.
Until about 10 years ago Mr. Wal
lace was one of the most prominent
hgureS at Washington state democratic
conventions. The most holly contested
battle in which he has engaged was at
the democratic state convention at
Vancouver in 1892, when he fought for
the delivery of Cleveland of the sup
port of the state delegation. 1t was In
connection with this fight that Thank
God Hazard of Tacoma came into
prominence.
The purport of Mr.. Wallace's mis-
sion to Tacoma is one of the most dis
cussed local political developments for
months. and, despite the denials of
Mr.. Wallace. local democracy is in
clined to accept him as a representa-
tive of the Johnson interests and an
antagonist of the Bryan boom.

ARE UNABLE TO GET CARS
FRUIT MEN DECLARE CARS ARE
BEING DIVERTED
SOUTH.

That refrigerator cars are being de-
liberately diverted from the trade in
this section of the country and sent to
southern California points for fruit
shipments is maintained by shippers in
Tacoma and throughout the great
fruit belt of Washington. The atten-
ton of the interstate commerce COM
mission may be called to the allega-
ton that more than 500 refrigerator
cars have been diverted during the
past month while enroute to the large
shipping points along the Pacific coast
in this state and sent to San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles.
While it is a well known fact that a
large proportion of the refrigerator
cars in the, United States are owned
and controlled by the Armour and
Swift packing companies, the fruit
refrigerators are operated under the
name of the Continental Fruit Elk
press company and others.
The Pacific Cold Storage company is
one among many of the large Tacoma
concerns that is suffering for the lack
of such cars, and as a consequence 1t
is far behind in shipments. Complaints
are coming in from all of the fruit and
produce growers who have ordered
cars and cannot get them. either di-
rectly or through their commission
agents, who say they are powerless In
the matter.
1t is estimated by shippers that I'M
less relief is given and refrigerator
cars come this way instead OF being
diverted to southern coast shipping
points, the financial loss will reach into
thousands of dollars.

THEY DISCUSS
TRUST QUESTIONS
DELEGATES FROM FORTY THREE
STATES GATHER IN
CHICAGO.

CuJCAGfb Il 23.-More than
five hundred delegates appointed by
the governors of forty-three states, all
men of earnest thought, devoted to the
best interests of their country met to-
day in convention in the Studebaker
theater TO discuss the problem of trusts
and combinations.
The National Civic Federation
brought them together to exchange
ideas and to recommend informally
some solution. 1t is by far the larg-
est gathering of we'll known people
ever assembled in the United States
for the purpose of discussing trade
combinations. In addition to the dele
gates appointed by the governors the
attendance includes representatives OF
many national organizations. such as
the American Federation Of Labor, the
American Bar association, the Farm
ers' National congress, the National
Grange, the American Society of Equi-
tv, the National Cotton Growers as
ISOLATION and various wholesale trade
orga nizations and the commercial or
CARNATIONS of industrial centers.
The subjects outlined for discussion
during the three days of the confer
ence are as follows:
Governmental power over corpora
tions engaged in interstate commerce;
the division OF power under the con-
stitution between uhe nation and the
state; power concurrent in nation and
state.
How should the corporation be con-
structed? Should there be national
corporations as we'll as state? The
basis of capitalization of corporations;
their internal control; provisions look
ing to the protection Of investors and
the stockholders, as well as fair deal
ing with the public; distinction be-
tween public service and ether corpor
atoms
The just and practicable limits OF
the restriction and regulation. federal
and state, of combinations in trans
portation, production, distribution ans
labor.

is another subject that will receive
much attention, and the discussion. 1t
is expected, will be participated in by
many of the best known members of
the American Protective Tariff assO-
citation and of the American Free
Trade League. Another interesting
topic on the program will be presented
by j. A. Everett, the president of the
Amer IAN Society of Equity, farm
ers' organization, with a membership of
more than 100000. In his speech
Everett will discuss that organizations

FORD TRIAL IS
SENSATIONAL
PHILLIPS GIVES TESTIMONY IN
SAN FRANCISCO
CASE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-The
surprise of yesterday in the TREY Ford
trial was the seeming recalcitrancy of
Jennings j. Phillips, the second wit
ness called. He declared himself I'M
able to remember whether Supervisor
James L. Gallagher, allegedly acting in
behalf of the United Railroads, and by
direction of Ruef, had paid him the
first half of the $4,000 bribe before or
When the trial was resumed this
morning, ex Supervisor Jennings Phil
lips was on the stand. Phillips suf-
fered from bad memory, but admit
ted he had received $1,000 for a vote
in favor of the overhead trolley fran
chise and that he had complained to
Gallagher and said that this was not
enough. Rogers accused Phillips of
talking his testimony over with Gal
lagher, but this Phillips denied. He
admitted, however, that during the last
Ford trial he had carried a message
from Burns to eX-Supervisor Coffey in
which Burns said he was not satisfied
with Coffey's testimony and inquired
if Coffey wanted to be indicted. Phil
lips said he always voted as Ruef di-
rected, regardless of what he person
ally thought. Rogers and Heney
fought acridly all day, both accusing
each other of unfairness and shyster
tactics
