FOR COLT RACES
ON NEWARK SPEEDWAY

To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-To the genuine lover of "a horse
there is probably nothing more attrac-
tive than a handsome. well gated colt.
TO sit behind a true moving and fast
yonngster whose every motion appears
to be the acme of perfection has glad
dened the heart and cleared the over
taxed brain Of many an active and
hard-headed business nan who has
temporarily forgotten the financial
game and been ~momentarily oblivious
to all else except the joy of riding and
driving.
Although a novice in such matters l
realize, after being an interested lis
tener recently between the owners OF
t~wo-year-old colts, that with the COM
ing of warmer and better weather for
driving it is important If not altogether
essential for those l heard talk, and
doubtless others are equally interested,
to have a race or races arranged in
which they may enter and start their
colts to determine who is the owner OF
the fastest one
Several owners of two-year-old trot-
ting colts, which are owned by mem
| bers of the Road Horse Association OF
| New Jersey, recently expressed thell
opinions and could not agree upor
whom is the owner of the fastest two
year-old trotter. During a prolonged
and what developed into rather a warm
argument, one owner proposed tina

Besides the two Sc 1000 stakes for 2:al
trotters and 2:1s PAGERS, the Minnesota
Fair Association, Of st. Paul, will hang
up $4,000 in purse money. Of which
the $4,000 free-for-all trot will be the
principal event. This makes an even
$40, 900 that viii be given to winning
drivers in this five days racing.
Some good changes have peer made
in the entrance fees for these races,
which is also TO be a factor in SWELL
ing the entry. Instead of deducting )
per cent. from the amount of money a
horse wins, the entrance fee win be
made straight 5 per cent, and then

ways disliked to have 5 per cent. Of
their winnings deducted. and there is
good reason why they should kick at
such o method. BY the new system OF
dividing the purse money. q horse now

With the above sixteen donations as

this season there will not be a single
race contested that will not have a
valuable prize for the winner. Not an
other similar association in the world
can boast of such success.
Last season there was a valuable
prize donated to the winner of each
regular event on the Speedway and at
Weequahic Park. One hundred and six
different horses participated in the
events, and this number will surely be
exceeded this season.

! expect that a likely contestant will
be an extremely fast colt owned by a
well-known doctor. who has entered
horses and driven at matinees for many
seasons.
Such a race as proposed would get
the youngsters accustomed to the rae
ing game, and being for a comparative
~ short distance should not be in
furious in any way. a colt race is
very interesting to owners, their friends
and oftentimes to the general public.
However, l can appreciate hat gen
orally the public do not care to watch
races py those still in the horse kin
d~ergarten, and as June comes early in
the season 1t seems to me buch better
for all concerned hat the proposed race
be held at a special event and at some
other time than at a regular matinee.
If l may be permitted to make a
suggestion this month would be a good
time for those who may desire to have
an carry race TO get together, name a
date for the race and to name their
| colts, so that all may commence to get
ready and be in nat respect on an
equality.
Mr.. McCabe, of the Speedway Tav-
ern, if notified, will take the names OF
owners who may be willing to race, and
he win name, after consulting their
convenience, a date to get together and
to agree upon the necessary detail.
Now that some of the owners of the
2-year-oId colts are quite warm and
are eager to prove that they have a
winner. how about the owners of the
3 and ~4-year-old colts? The aged horses
are provided for in classes more or less
satisfactory, but it appears to be up
to the owners of the youngsters TO
make provision for themselves. Who
will start the fun, as l am confident
there must be several good 3 and A.
year-old colts whose owners would like
ia have a race or races during the sea-
son? Why not have an afternoon sport
in June, made up of different colt
classes. for ., 5 and 4-year-olds?
The time may come. and soon, when
those members of the association who
may breed their mares to such sires
as Todd, his son. Cochato. and other
good ones would like an opportunity to

of the Horse Association. a race for

RESTORING HUSBANDS LIFE.
Supposed to Have Died Month Ago
And Now Has Color in Cheeks.

Asheville. N. c., June 4.-One of the
strangest cases known to medical SCI
ence, and which is attracting much
interest and comment, is that of N.
III. Carpenter. who was supposed to
have died almost a month ago in one
of the vanderbilt villas at Miltmore.
His wife, who is a devout Christian
Scientist, declared that her husband
was not dead and refused to allow him
to be buried.
She kept the body for five days and
called in Christian Scientists for the
purpose Of trying to ~resurrect him.
He was secretly embalmed and held
for a week on account of the doubts
of his wife. At the end of that time
she consented to have him buried on
condition that it be in Atlanta, Ca She
changed her mind, however, and
caused him to be put into a vault
where she could visit him every day.
Now, it is reported. the natural col
or is coming back to the body. Noted
professional men have been called to
the vault in the Georgia cemetery and
are puzzled. The fullness has return
ed to the dead mans face. Mrs. Car
penter declares he is returning to life.
She was the first to discover the col
or returning to her husbands cheeks
and summoned a doctor. other physi-
clans were summoned and are study
ing the Ease and watching develop
ments.
1t was during the early part of the
year that Mrs. Carpenter, with her
husband, came to Biltmore. Carpen-
ter, whose fortune was stated at sew
eral millions, was brought here for his
health. He died May IL.
He was, until he died, under the
care Of a local physician, who declared
there was no doubt about Carpenters
death. Mrs. Carpenter, however, held
that her husband was not dead, and
would not allow the undertaken to
touch the body. The doctors and
trained nurses, of whom she had a
large staff, used all their efforts to
persuade her to have the body buried,
but they were finally driven from the
premises, and she alone, together with
several Christian Scientists, re-
manned.

Dear Sir:=I am in receipt of your
request for an opinion as to whether
an officer of a national bank is an of

fore, disqualified to hold n exercise
the Office of presidential elector within
the meaning of Sec. 1, Art. II of the
Federal Constitution, which provides
that no senator or representative, or
person holding an office of trust or
profit, under the United States, shall
NC dpPOihlCu all CiOSNOia
Appointment by President.
The United states supreme court in
the case of United States VS.. Germaine,
80 U. S. sos, has distinctly pointed out
what is necessary to constitute a per-
SOY an officer of the United States. 1t
was there held that unless a per
SOL il the service Of the government,
holds his place by virtue of an appoint
ment by the president, or of one of the
courts of justice, Or heads of depart
ments, authorized by law to make such
appointment, he is not strictly speak
ing, an officer of the United States.
The principle was re-affirmed in the
case of United States VS.. Mouat, 124
U. S. 3O3.
Elected BY stockholders.
An officer of a national bank is elect
ed by his fellow stockholders and his
duties are not public. National banks
are private corporations organized
under federal laws, for private gain,
and managed by officers Of their own
selection. 1t has been expressly held
by federal courts that such corporations
are not q branch or part OF the united
States government. (Branch VS. U. 8!
