CLOSING LID
.. STOPS RACES
Spokane Fair Effected By
City Ordinance Against
Pool Selling

Tho city Of Spokane is up against
proposition of not having a fair this
year il the city authorities enforce the
ordinance against selling pools on rae
ing, according to Il statement made
yesterday by Manager Cosgroye, of the
Spokane Interstate Fair association.
The fair board has called "a meeting
for tonight at which time the condi-
lions VIII be presented to a mass meet
ing of citizens who have been invited
to join with the fair directors in a
discussion of the conditions. The fair
management state there is no doubt
but that the fair will be called off If
the ordinance is enforced.
1t is stated that this decision is not
due to any financial benefits that would
come to the association. but on ac-
count of the horsemen not coming to
the fair if the pool selling is elimin-
ated. The association has offered $75,-
600 in premiums and if the racing is
cut off the receipts at the gates would
not be sufficient to meet one-half of
this expense.
In the face Of all of this opposition
Mayor Moore has said he will sign the
ordinance which has passed the coun-
Gil by the entire vote excepting one.
Mayor Moore believes he will voice the
sentiments of the majority of the peo-
pie of Spokane when he signs an or
dinance against any of the gambling
practices. He states that IL the fair
management want pool selling they
can remove the pool rooms to the OPP
posite side of the track from the grand
stand, which is outside Of the city
limits, but Manager Cosgrove states
this would be impractical as the bet
ting ring would be one-half a mile
from the finish and such a change
would involve an expenditure of &c.,
600.
The view of Lewiston citizens iden-
titled with the management of the
lewiston Charleston fair is that the
Spokane fair will be held. The man
agement has expended too much
money in buildings and the prepara-
ton for other features of the fair to
allow the cutting out of the pool SELL
ing to interfere with the fair.
1t is believed, however, that in the
event the Spokane racing meet is can
celled that the other fairs in the north
west circuit will not be effected by it.
The purses at Lewiston are so large
that the horsemen will come in any
event and as the early closing events
have been filled by about % of the
best harness horses on the circuit for
which deposits by the owners have
been made, it is assured these horses
will come to Lewiston.

MAKE RECORD
BALLOON TRIP
knabenShue Plans to Fly
From Toledo to
Cleveland

TOLEDO, o., July 1.-THE longest
long distance airship flight ever at
tempted by an aronaut in a dirigible
balloon will be undertaken some time
this week by Roy Knabenshue, the
Toledo aeronaut. Knabenshue will I'M
dertake to sail his new passenger ship
from Toledo to Cleveland, a distance
OF l23 miles, on an average speed of
20 miles an hour. He figures that he
can made the journey and land in the
Forest City inside of seven hours.
Knabenshue has been planning this
long distance test for some time, but
has kept his plans secret until his new
ship was completed and ready for the
test. The ship will carry three pas
sengers. Mrs. Knabenshue will make
the first fight with him when the ship
is tested, and will accompany him to
Cleveland. Knabenshue is sanguine of
success in the long distance flight.
Il haven't the least doubt but what
1t can be accomplished, providing
weather conditions are right" he said.
Such flight has never been made in
this country, and it would go a long
ways toward demonstrating the use
fulness of the airship as a means of
passenger transportation"
The framework of the new airship
is As feet long. Besides propeIIers, 1t
has aeroplanes. The engines were
especially constructed by Knabenshue,
and have tremendous power for their
weight.

ATHLETES TURN
TO JAMESTOWN
Championship Games Soon
Open There===Men Who
Will Win

The eyes of the amateur athlete is
now turned to jamestown, where, on
July "a, the all-round championship of
the world will be contested 1t is to
be regretted that Johnny Garrells, the
Michigan wonder, will not compete. A
contest between him and Martin Sher-
idan would have been a sight worth
seeing. AS it is the New York cop
would seem to have no serious COM
petitor for the championship.
Sheridan is in wonderful form, and
if he is pushed he will doubtless break
some of the records at Celtic Park. He
did the 100-yard dash in 10 AS Sec
onds; 16-pound shot, 43 feet 5 inches;
high jump. feet inches; half mile
walk, minutes 522-5 seconds; 10
pound hammer, 100 feet 10 inches; pole
vault, IL feet inches; broad jump, 81
feet inches.
Sheridan did not do the mile run,
which is the tenth on the list. His
performances in the other nine events
were remarkable. In some instances
he did much better than is shown
above, but he insisteded on taking the
worst Of 1t in each case. His total
points by including the percentage he
made in the mile run when he won the
title of all-round champion of the
world three years ago, would, accord
ing to his present showing, reach 7,242
out of a possible 10000. This is 400
M &c, 1, 4 L.
won the championship, and 500 more
than T. J. Kelly, of Ireland, who now
holds the title.
There is liable to be a general
tics this season. Taylor, Hillman and
Sheppard are liable to do things to the
sporting records, while at the longer
distances, Hardness, Cohn, Rodgers,
Lewis, Coe, Lightbody, Rowe of Mich
igan, Bombay. Longboat and Nobrich
are formidable body of fleet feet.
Garrells may knock out the records
over the hurdles.
If the high jump record is approach
ed this summer it will probably be
Pennsylvania of Marshall of Yale.
Some look for great things from Chan
ming Hall, the Pacific coast jumper.
He came last to st. Louis and "fizzled"
in 1904; so the Eastern experts do not
take him too seriously.
Any one of half a dozen men may
boost the pole vault record The pres
ent mark is ~ feet 51s inches, by Wal
ter Dray, of Yale. His college mate,
Gilbert, and Roy Samse, of the College
A. A, look to be the nearest contend
ers for record honors.
Its dull year when the weights do
not furnish some new records, and
1907 will be no exception. The vet
Grams will be goaded on this summer
by the presence of Lee Talbot the
Mercersburg giant, who gives promise
of smashing John Flanagan's cinch at
the hammer throwing game. Don't
forget Smiling John" either He has
many good throw under his belt.
Wesley w. Goes shot put record of
40 feet 6 inches looks pretty safe.
Ralph Rose Is reported to be training
again. Then there's Kreuger of
Swarthmore, Garrels of Michigan,
Sheldon and Morgan of the N. Y. A. c.
all good for As feet and better but
4s feet will hold them safe, and that
effort.

ORIENTAL EXCLUSION
Some Reasons for a Modification OF the
Present Laws.
By E. w. Thwing.

I'VE Hawaiian Chinese have much at
stake The lives and happiness of our
fathers and mothers, our brothers and
sisters and our posterity depend upon
the stand we take.
AT present we need leaders, men who
are free and outspoken, men of thought
and education, men of light and under
standing. Give us men of high and
strong hopes, men who are willing to
bury their own interest in the nobler
cause of the country. Give US leaders
of this type, and the young Chinese of
Hawaii will gladly follow and prove
that they are capable of performing
the entire duty of citizenship"
BENEFIT TO AMERICA.
More of the thrifty industrious Chi
nese would prove a source of added
wealth to the nation. The early set
tiers of New England proclaimed to
the world that the American Republic
would welcome the oppressed of all
nations. The United States today
owes much of the marvellous develop
ment of the past fifty years to the mill
lions of foreign-bor men and women,
who have come to her shores. Among
this multitude from many lands, the
Chinese have done their part in build
ing the railroads, and opening up the
great West And why today should
they, among all the nations, be the only
ones not allowed to come? The Chi
nese now in the United States are less
than one tenth of one per cent. of the
population. Yet there is need for many
more of them, especially in the West
and in the South. California fruit
growers cannot, in many cases, gather
their crops because of the lack of labor.
The Chinese can do this work well, and
if justly treated, as in Hawaii, will in
time form a desirable and valuable
part of the American people. With
careful restrictions, applying to all ma
tions alike, there need be no fear of
great flood of Chinese And they are
needed for work that, in many places,
the whites are not willing to do.
JAPANESE QUESTION.
The immigration of the japanese la
borer to the United States during the
past few years, has brought the ques-
ton of japanese exclusion to the front,
in much the same way as formerly the
Chinese exclusion, before the people of
California. This is a matter that will
come up again and again, and will
necessarily lead to a fuller considera-
ton, and better understanding, of the
whole subject of Oriental exclusion.

LIKE
A DOG-FIGHT

Every little while some one wants
to know when, where and how the
longest prize-fight was held. That
question seems to be satisfactorily set
tied, and now another rises, what was
the longest dog-fight on record. These
records are generally kept in private,
just as the fights are held. William
Crellin of Cincinnati, is a recognized
authority on dog-fghts, and he says
that about seventeen years ago there
was fight in Cincinnati which lasted
four hours and thirty-two minutes, be-
tween Sport and Max, fighting terriers,
weighing thirty-six pounds. Tom Will
son, an old-time fighter, was referee,
and the fight was declared a draw.
There were several scratches and turns
in this fight.
The longest fight Crellin recalls with
out either dog turning head and Shout
ders or being picked up by the handlers,
was between Major, owned by Ben
Tomlin, the Hartford City. Ind, dog
fancier, and Shine, from the Bourbon
kennels OF Louisville, KY, owned by
Treanor & Rubel.
InlS HSnt was LOT the IulTly-tHree-
pound championship. 800 a side, and
the entire gate receipts. After two
hours and forty-f1ve minutes Shine
turned, and the fight was over. He
simply could not stand up any longer.
Dog fanciers say this was undoubtedly
the most terrific battle ever fought be-
tween two dogs. Crellin handled
Shine, while Col. L. Bowser, OF Mont
pelier, Ind, conditioned and handled
Major.
Once during the fight Major got jaw
hold and held it for thfrty-one minutes,
which is said to be the longest hold on
record. The battle took place Deem
Der 6, 1905.

The sand lot agitators of San Fran
cisco secured the exclusion of the Chi
nese laborers in 1881. Many of this
same class would now gladly effect a
total exclusion of the japanese laborers
as we'll. In fact many of the thought
full leaders of the Eastern States, not
yet having secured an intelligent APP
probation of the real character and pos
sibilties of the. Chinese and Japanese,
also feel that it is a fixed and definite
policy. that Orientals shall and must
be excluded. The editor of a leading
American Magazine, the Review of
Reviews" speaking of this subject, re-
Gently said: Looking into the future
if Japanese coolie labor should continue
to arrive on a large scale, the question
of exclusion would have to be faced di-
rectly, and there could be only one an
swer to that question. American poll
icy was fixed a quarter of a century
ago. 1t was definitely determined to
build up the Pacific states on a basis
of white labor. From that decision
there will be no turning away" It
would seem that much is taken for
granted in the above view. The great
body of the American people have had
est in, the exclusion question. And
because of this. the policy of an exclu-
sion of Chinese was allowed. to please
a comparatively few of the whole body
Of the nation. When the fact that
those from the Orient can be educated
to American ideals of life and thought
is known, the great issues at stake
are fully realized, when the stu
pendous losses, which will come
to American trade and commerce
by continuance of these un-
just and un-American laws, are clearly
perceived, it is certainly a question
whether the aroused nation will not
turn away from an exclusion law which
develops race feeling and is far from
being in accord with the ideas Of true
LIBERTY and progress. Again, should
the question of the exclusion of Japa-
nese laborers from the United States
be faced directly, it is difficult to imag-
Inc that proud people like the Japa-
nese would ever allow any treatment
of their people similar to that which
the Chinese have endured
