TALKS WITH BRYAN
At CHICAGO TONIGHT
They VIII Settle Whether Haskell
Remains as Treasurer of Demo-
cratic National Committee
Haskell Calls Roosevelt
a "FOur-fluSher."

Kansas City, Sept. 25.--Governor
Haskell, treasurer of the Democratic'
national committee, passed through
Kansas City this merning en- route to
Chicago. where he goes to confer with
Bryan and leaders of the Democrats
national organization regarding the
charges recently made against the
governor by Roosevelt and Hearst
Haskell declined to reply at this time
to the charge made by Hearst last
night that Haskell is not only a
Standard OH tool and crooked rail-
road promoter but steel trust or
ganizer."
Haskell denied that he intended
resign his position as treasurer of the
Democratic national committee. Re-
garding Hearsts charges, coupling
him with the steel trust, Haskell said
that he felt highly honored at being
coupled with Schwab, Carnegie and
]. T. Morgan. He denied that he was
in New York City in 1895 at the Gold
Democratic meeting in Madison
Square garden, applauding the attack
made upon Bryan.
He declared that Roosevelt is "t1e
biggest four-flusher in the political
business today" and added, You
oughlto near /OL WitAi klry lAi,Ff1 ~
the rascal down in Oklahoma"
Haskell was handed a copy OF the
morning paper and hurriediy glanced
through its pages. He read only the
| headlines, and when asked to MAKE
definite statement in regard to some
accusations against him that the
paper contained, refused until he had
read them carefully.
Have Little to Say.
Chicago, Sept. 25.--While Bryan
was working his way through Indiana
towards Chicago today, Haskell was
passenger on the Santa Fe bound for
the same city. Little was said at the
Democratic headquarters concerning
the charges made against the nation-
al treasurer. Josephus Daniels, chair
man of the Democratic press commit
1 tee. said that he has heard nothing OF
| the resignation of Haskell. A report
which cannot be confirmed is that
Haskell will meet the Bryan special
on its way from Terre aute, Ind, to
Chicago tonight, but the general be-
! lief Is that the cont arence between the
two leaders will not occur Nntil Bryan
arrives in this city tomorrow morning.

to have at last made a pitcher out of
the eccentric Vickers, carrying through
a task that was too much for Ned
Hanlon, who had the "Rube'' in Brook

tall chap out in Cincinnati. Connie
Mack probably would have let Wick

Races Have Been Carded
for Initial Meet of
Year.
BY WALTER |. SNYDER

Did you see it? If you did not, you
missed witnessing the greatest light
harness horse parade ever held. Yes,
l refer to the ninth annual parade of
the Road Horse Association of New
Jersey last Saturday.
For the benefit of those who missed
connections I would suggest that you
picture in your mind oyer 800 rigs of
every description representing a value
of a quarter of a million dollars march
ing through the streets.
Seated in the various vehicles were
substantial and representative citizens,
who were proud to participate in pay
ing tribute to the noblest animal and
lis achievements. And why not? Our
American-bred trotter is recognized the
world over as the most famous roadster
and all nations are constantly purchas-
ing them.
The work of the parade committee
and DIR. Henry Wander Roest, grand
marshal, and his aides are deserving of
much credit, for the admirable manner
in which they discharged the duties en-
trusted in their care. At no time was
there a single hitch in the proceedings.
Perfect order was maintained in the
forming of the line, and after it was
started on its journey to the Speedway.
Encouraged by the grand success of
the parade the racecommittee is energet-
ically at work to make the opening Of
the matinee season at Weequahic Park
next Saturday the greatest in the his
tory of the association.
Every effort is being made to have
the classes well filled in order to insure
spirited and w~ell-contested races.
Should the weather mar furnish the
sort that racing folks enjoy, it is the
belief that fully ten thousand people
will visit the park next Saturday.
Eight races has been opened, four for
the t%rotters and the same number for
the PAGERS. They are a free-for-all, 2:20
2:30 and 2:40. That they will be well
filled is evident any Tuesday or Friday
at Weequahic Park, when the track is
filled with horses being trained. While
fast work is not the order for the full
mile, many fast fractions of a mile are

The track is in better shape this
spring than it has been for several
years. The superintendent has put
many loads of loan on it and spent con-

track.
RUDE Rush will probably journey
over to Hohokus with a horse for each
event that Barney Demarest has on his
program. At this track there will be
more than the racing to interest those
who purchase the tickets of admission.
Barney will give an exhibition with his
high school horse Cupid, the high
jumper Major Mckinley and such
other attractions as the "irrepressible

Present Lightweight Champion
of Jersey to Box for For
mer Title Holder.
BY OLD SPORT.

Down II out and a wreck in mind
and body, Joe Handler, in his day the
pride of Jersey in the lightweight ranks,
will tonight AVE a benefit at Johnson's
Hall on Washington street near Mar
ket. Not forgetting the days when
Handler, through his fistic prowess,
brought fame to this city, the police
authorities have given those in charge
of the benefit more leeway than the
law in it's strictest Interpretation per-
mits, so an excellent bill is offered for
those who attend.
Not so many years ago Handler could
not walk the streets of this city with
out having an army of admiring fol-
lowers chasing him. To be a resident
of Newark in those days n moi know
Joe Handler was to be considered little
less than being a lead one.
But when Handler lost his fame he
found that the army of admirers
thinned out, and now as he YEARLY
plods his way through the streets few
recognize in the shabby remnant of
today the champion of a few years ago.
That Handler did not lose all his old
friends is evident from the monster
benefit which is to be rendered min to-
night at Johnson's hall. Besides being
a worthy event one of the best bouts

New Champion in Sight.
Joe Bateman, who is Jersey match
maker for several Brooklyn and New
York fighting clubs, thinks hat Jersey
has a coming lightweight champion in
the person of a Newark boy, Ben
Dokus, who has been showing up ex-
ceptionally well in New York and
Brooklyn lately. Well, let us hope we
have. 1t is a long time since Newark
could boast of a fighter in the light
weight ranks that was able to stand
against a classy fighter.
| don't NOW this Dokus, but I will
lay a few odds on Bateman's judgment.
One week ago Saturday Bateman
brought Dokus to the National Ath-
letic Club, of Brooklyn. and pitted him
against Jack Pryor, whom he bested in
four rounds. Last Saturday night,
thinking to put one over on the Jersey
boy and his hacker they sprung that
hard nut, Al Deering, who has been
stepping some lately. Deering went
down and out in the fourth round from
a wicked right hand punch on the chin.
Dokus made such an impression that
the management of the club offered
Bateman a chance to get him on in the
semi-windup on Friday night. Sandy
Williams will try to stop the Jersey
boy.

$1,000, but if he can land a high
