OPPOSES The RACE.
Albany Man Wants 500 Miles Endur-
ance Contest Stopped.

Denver, Colo, March w. O.. Still
man of Albany, N. Y. has appealed to
the governors of Colorado Wyoming
and Utah, by letter to enforce the laws
and prevent the carrying out of the
plan for an endurance horse race from
Ogden, Utah, to Denver, distance of
over 600 miles.
These exhibitions" Mr.. Stillnan
says in his letter to Governor Henry A.
Buchtel of Colorado, ARE little better
than the bull fights which we are prone
to condemn in the Mexicans and give
color to the feeling which exists in
many parts of the country that the
myriads of live stock which are allowed
to perish from starvation and exposure
on the northwestern ranges are allowed
to go to their fate with a brutal indif-
ference to their agony and sufferings
on the part of those who should be held
responsible for them
Governor Buchtel has not yet signi-
fed whether or not he will take any
action in regard to the proposed race.

Ruins Number 1877.

Cleveland, March THE last Of the

ANNA GOULD COMING HOME.
She VIII Spend Three Months With
Her Relatives.

Paris, March Madame Anna Gould.
who recently secured a divorce from
her husband, Count Boni de Caste1lane,
today authorized the Associated Press
to give absolute denial to the report
that she had been married to Prince
Helie de Sagan.
Nine. Gould has announced her inten-
ton of leaving here shortly for the
United States with her children to
spend three months with her relatives.
1t is understood that Count Boni con-
sented to her taking the children from
France, which is required by the de-
cree of divorce already secured
A secret marriage in France is almost
impossible, because the law requires
the publication of the bans a fortnight
in advance Furthermore, unless there
is marriage contract, French mar
riage provides that the property OF
both husband and wife be held in COM
mon, and Nine. Goulds lawyers have
arranged no such contract for her.

CHARGES AGAINST DAY.
Methodist Brother Says Chancellor De-
famed Character of the President.

Brandon, VT, March Charges have
been preferred by the Rev. George A.
Cooke, pastor of the Methodist Episco-
pal church in Brandon, against the
Rev. J. r. Day, LII. D., chancellor of
Syracuse university, on the ground that
DIR. Day DETAINED the character of Pres
ident Roosevelt. The charges have been
presented to the Rev. DR.. r. NJ. Wat
tiers, presiding elder of the New York
church conference of the Methodist
church, to which Chancellor Day is ec-
Realistically attached.
When interviewed concerning the al
was true he had brought charges
against Chancellor Day. He said that
in a book entitled "a Raid on Prosper
ity,'' written by Chancellor Day, Presi-
dent Roosevelt was severely criticised
and that in his opinion DIR. Day had
violated the rules of the Methodist
Episcopal church in thus assailing the
president.
The Rev. Mr.. Cooke said that the
specific charge preferred was defama-
ton of character. He considered that
although Syracuse university is under
obligations to the Standard Oil people
by reason of large gifts, Chancellor
Day was not justified as a minister OF
the Methodist church in assailing Pres
ident Roosevelt. The university itself
charges will be passed upon at the
April conference of the New York dis
trict.
The Rev. MIR. Cooke has brought
charges Of heresy against severa
preachers in the Methodist church and
is regarded as being very active in
this line.

WRECK ON THE 20"
Train Goes Over an EmbanLment at
Kearney. Mo.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 7.-Burling-
ton passenger train No. a. which left
Kansas City at 7:30 this morning for
Chicago, was derailed at Kearney, Mo-.
% miles north of here and went over
a 10 foot embankment. Twenty persons
were injured four seriously.
The seriously hurt:
]. D. Guyton, Kansas City, horse and
mule buyer. head cut, and otherwise in
jured.
r. E. Wilcox, Kansas City, horse
buyer hip broken, hurt internally.
- Chapelle, young. divinity student.
studying at Liberty, Mo.
A travelling man from the north, name
unknown; unconscious.
None of the others injured was SER
iously hurt, their injuries consisting
mostly of cuts and bruises
The wrecked train was made up of
baggage car, smoker and two coaches.
1t is an accommodation train that stops
at every station between Kansas City
and Chicago and was not due in Chi
cago until Sunday morning. The acct
dent was caused by spreading rails.
The train was not running fast and this
fact probably prevented more serious
results All but the smoker turned
over and went half way down the en-
bankment.
Physicians were sent to the scene
from Brookfield and Kearney. The in
jured were cared for promptly and
placed in the smoker until they could be
taken to Kearney. There they were
picked up by later train and most of
them continued on their journey.

NONE FIRE PROOF.
Insurance Man Says There's No Build
ing That Can Not Burn.

New York, March IA plan to
limit the height of buildings, which
would do away entirely with sky
scrapers, is being considered by spe-
cial committee of the new building
code commission of New Y ork. At a
meeting of the committee yesterday
Ernest F1agg, architect of the Singer
building, the highest in New York,
advocated law preventing the erec-
ton of buildings more than one and
a half times higher than the width
of the street on which they face, no
building to be more than 100 feet in
height.
George W. Babb, representing the
board of fire underwriters, advocated a
maximum height of $50 feet, about
Is stories, for fireproof buildings. Mr..
Babb said that there was no such thing
as an absolutely fireproof building and
that a fire sufficiently hot would bring
any building to the ground.
