Pool Room Men
Beat All Results
Owing to Strike

SARATOGA, y, Y, Aug. 15.-Through
an official order issued by the manage
ment OF the Saratoga track, August
Belmont went to the aid OF the Western
Union Telegraph Company in its con-
fict with the operators. The order di-
rects that all news concerning races
should be sent out over Western Union
wires, and in no other way.
As a result OF Jl,- y.v-I, the most
uncertain service in years immediately
followed The messenger lines which
the service OF the Western Union had
forced the newspapers and news agencies
TO establish. were stopped by Pinker-
tens. and confusion followed attempts
10 give the Service formerly given.
Delay was caused as a result of the
order. and great inconvenience TO all
sporting men and in all places where
sporting news from Saratoga should be
received promptly
The PinkertOns who were ordered to
see that the commands were executed
refused to allow any one carrying news
paper copy or other messages to leave
the track. So slow was the service
over the wire that the pool room men
who had telephone wires to New York
were able 20 go outside after every race
and beat the official results by several
minutes.

Three SpinsterS Lived
Sixty-three Years in
One House.

Miss Elizabeth Ward. for seyenty-two
years a resident OF Washington, and for
slxty-three years living in one house
at the corner Of NJ and Seventh streets
northwest, died yesterday afternoon at
her home 633 NJ street
The bare announcement OF this fact
does not tell half the story. A home,
with three maiden sisters, Elizabeth,
Mary, and Margaret. who have lived TO-
gether for more than half century
and who have seen Washington grow
from a little more than a village 20 the
city tnat 1t IS today. has been broken
up. and the eldest Of the three, that
have been to each other father, mother
and brother. has passed away
II was a pathetic scene in the little NJ
street house this morning. The shutters
were tightly drawn, and beside the
silent figure robed in white, were the
sisters seemingly unable TO realize that
there are only two OF them now. 1t was
with chokiyg voice that the youngest Of
the three told of their love and devotion
Of their old. old home Just across the
yvav." where they had lived for sixty
three years. and how finally they had
been compelled TO sell the old home
place to make an equitable distribution
of the estate.
Their old home at Seventh and NJ
streets. was one Of the old land marks
Of that portion OF Washington in the
early days The motner OF the three
sisters, Mrs. Anna Ward. built the
house in 1874. and they moved into It
when Miss Mary Ward, the youngest.
was only three months old.
Finally they were told that they must
move out to make room Tor the city's
progress. At first they could not be-
Iieve that they must give up their home,
the spot where they had lived for more
than half a century. but mere sentiment
does not count in the work-a-day world
and they packed up their little house
hold goods and being unable TO make
UP their minds TO go out OF the neign-
borhOCd. moved just across the street,
where they could sit and look out on the
SPOT where the old home stood. and IN
memory live over the "old days" that
were their happiest-
Miss Elizabeth Ward will be buried
tomorrow morning at o'clock, from the
Church Of the Immaculate Conception.

BY Capt. John McA. Webster, Indian

that many OF the allotment Indians want

the citizenship which goes with them,
and return TO reservations They would
rather be wards OF the Government than
enjoy the citizenship rights.
Another problem confronting Webster
Is the wish OF the tribes affiliated with

information and the claim 10 Washing
