Collins Made a Bet.

The legal question in the Collins case Is
whether a verbal bet. accompanied by the
passage Of the money won or lost but
without the making Of a memorandum of
the bet. constitutes a violation of the law.
Collins had made such bet when he was
arrested. He was taken to a magistrates
court. where he was held for a hearing
today; but counsel for the Jockey Club
quickly brought the case before the su-
preme court by securing a writ of habeas
corpus. Mr.. Elder. who at first asserted
that he would not make an agreement
on test case with the racing interests,
declares he will prosecute Collins.
In other respects this promised to be
momentous day for the racing interests.
The injunction secured by the Coney
Island Jockey Club restraining the police
from interfering with the orderly col

grounds was returnable before Justice
Bischoff today. when the question whether
Or not 1t shall be made permanent might
be argued. The cases of several book

tracks charged with making bets were
also scheduled to come up in the magis-

as two and home run three, batsman
must reach first base by a clean hit before he
can be credited with extra base.

Pre.ldeu4 Rooseveit In His Final Mes- sage to Congress Will Reeom- mend This Incrense of the
 Standing Army.

Washington. Sept. 6.-Prestdent Roosevelt In his final message to Con- ereas will recommend an increase In the numerical strength of the army to at least 100 .00O men. At present the army Is on a footing of 60,000 men, the number provided for in time of peace.
 To the general staff. 1t has become evident in the last two years that s0. .OOO men are too few to properly garrison the posts at which 1t Is neces- sary 10 maintain an army force. These hosts include the garrisons in the in- s,,Iar nossessions of America. The law proyides that the army may be Increased to 100000 men in time Of neaee This provision in the opinion of the military experts of the govern- ment is likely to prove a serious han dicap to the army If absolute necessity should arise for a larger force. It has been shown by letters received at the War Department that the people of tho country are immensly interest cd in the maneuvers of tho army held at the various permanent post In the country.
 In years gone by little has been known of the operations of the army but in the past two years, since public attention has been drawn 10 the work of inc regular army in connection with the national guard of various States at several permanent camps of the United States the people generally have manifested the deepest interest In the army maneuvers and have ex-

ULTIMATUM IS SENT
HOLLAND DEMANDS REVOCATION
 OF CASTRO's DEGREE.
Date of Revocation Is Set For NO- vember 1 And No Blockade VIII Likely He Begun Before
 That Time.

The Hague. Sept. 6.-The note of Holland to Venezuela contains what is almost an ultimatum.
 Holland demands of Venezuela the revocation before November of the decree issued by President CaNtro on May IA last which resulted in the par tial suppression if curacao's trade. This decree made obligatory the trans shipment of all goods from and to Maracaibo. and other ports in West ern Venezuela at Port CabeIlo instead of Willemstad as previously had been the custom.
 This demand. however, is framed In courteous language. It is the temper ate attitude which 1t has adopted in conducting its correspondence with Venezuela that the Holland govern ment bases whatever hope 1t has Of a peaceful solution of the trouble, and. since this government fixes d definite period in which the decree must be revoked, 1t appears unlikely that 8 blockade will be begun before Novem- Der.
 Holland admits that some of Vene- zuela's contentious were well founded and comedies that it was impossible for M. De Reus to remain Hollands representative after the publication of his letter. Holland, however takes exceptions to the dismissal of Nj. De Reus, saying that Holland would un- doubtedIy have recalled him had it been requested to do so.

Chicago, Sept. 6.--Chicago will be the Mecca of the Democratic leaders for the next two days. National Chair man Mack arrived here this evening. and William J. Bryan and John W Kern, the standard-bearers of the party. will reach the city tomorrow.
 Mir. Bryan will address several la- bor meetings. On Tuesday the Demo- cratic National Committee will meet and the completed plans for the Pres idential campaign will be submitted for final inspection and adoption. This gathering of party managers will probably be the most important in the campaign, for upon the plans adopted will depend in a great measure the outcome of the election. There will be numerous conferences tomorrow be- tween the National Committeeman and the heads of the various bureaus. While this hidden play of politics is engaging the attention of Chairman Mack and his lieutenants. MT, BrEan win review labor parade and iatAr will address two labor meetings.
 MT. Kern Will make speech at Mun- cie, Ind. nd reach here in the even- ing. While the conference of the Na- tionaI Committee fs in progress on Tuesday, there will be a meeting of the advisory and financial committees. :. Each National Committeeman will be expected to report on the conditions in his State and outline-briehy what de- mands he will make on the National Committee for assistance. MT. Bryan will attend the National Committee meeting and will lend lis counsel in the final moulding of the campaign plans.
 John W. Kern will, in all likelihood be heard on the stump in the East. Efforts are being made to have him make an extensive tour through the Atlantic coast States. and he has prom ised to speak in Maryland some time this month. The National Committee is arranging a tour of the far west ern States for Mf. Kern. National Committeeman M. A. Miller of oregon reached here today from the West. IL is generally regarded that MT.

pressed to the War Department their desire to como more intimately in con- tact with the service. It will be neces- sary. in the judgment of the general stan. to considerably increase the mum ericai strength of the army in order properly to care for the posts and for tifications in this country and In our insuiar possessions. It Is pointed out that a. considerable force will be re- quired to garrison the Qualifications at Pearl Hafbor, in the Hawaiian Isia nds. An immense amount of money is to be expended in the erection of the Pearl Harbor Qualifications. and 1t Is the opinion of army officials that a gar rison of at least 2.00o men will have to be maintained there in order to protect the works and insure against invasion by an enemy. Just now there are approximately 10000 Japa- nese in the Hawaiian Islands.
 Tn the remote event of war between America and Japan or some other pow CT with which Japan is on friendly terms, 1t would not be possible for the small force of United States troops now in the Hawaiian Islands to prevent the landing of arms and ammunitiony to supply the Japa- nese in the islands. With an adequate force at Pearl Harbor no difficulty would be experienced in preventing the landing of munition of war which might be used against the United States.

POLICE SHOT NEGRO
"sMO<Y" BECKWITH'S WOUND
 MAY PROVE FATAL.
Policeman Smith, Of Columbus, Miss., Was Badly Bruised by the Negro, in Effort to
 Arrest Him.

Columbus, Miss. Sept 6.--(Special.)-- Az A result of a conflict between the local police and Ned Beckwith, a ie- gro, familiariy known as Smoky, in Burns's Bottom. this afternoon. Police man Smith Is badly bruised up and Beckwith has a number of bird shot scattered throughout his body. and wound on the head. which may prove fatal
 Beckwith and a lot of other negroes were creating so much racket that people living in the neighbour ood com plained to police headquarters, and Officers smith and Morton were sent to quell the disturbance. When the officers reached the scene, Beckwtth re- fused to submit to arrest and attacked Policeman smith. who is a small man, and well advanced in years. Accord ing to report. Morton was so badly frightened that he dld not go to the assistance of hls brother officer. and Beck with succeeded in securing smiths gun. When Morton saw that the ne- gro had the gun. he recovered from his fright sufficiently ito fire at him with his own revolver. and after hav- ing returned the fire, the negro fled.
 The negro lives on c. w. Evans's place, a few miles west of the city, and the officers. knowing that he would be compelled to cross the main street bridge in order to reach home, tele- phoned Bridge Keeper Shackeiford to detain him.
 When Shackelford ordered the negro to stop, he refused to obey the com mand, and the bridge keeper shot at him with a shot gun. It was in this manner that Beckwith's body became pierced with bird shot. and 1t is sup posed that the club of one of the of- ficers Is responsible for his bruised head.
 He reached home wounded and bleed ing and a telephone message has just been received from Mir. Evans, stating that he Is there awaiting the coming of the officers.
