Harry G. Wright who was relieved
of his duties as deputy restaurant in
spector more than week ago, ana
Nicholas Schwegel, restaurant inspec-
tor. met in Justice Fredericks' court
room yesterday morning and engaged
In a war of words.
Wright, it Is said, accused Schwegel
of having informed a number of per-
sons that the former deputy inspector
was getting his meals for nothing from
the restaurants by means of his star.
Schwegel did not deny the accusation,
but gave Wright a severe talk and de-
manded the former officer turn in the
star.
Wright promised to turn it in today,
and was told that unless he turned ii
in within an hour he would be prose-
cuted. Before the expiration of the
hour the star was delivered to the
proper authorities
Since Wright was dismissed from the
service of the city the officers have
been trying to obtain his star. Some
wer in favor of prosecuting him, but
Mapor Harper is said to have advised
Schwegel to have published the story
that Wright was getting his meals free
from the restaurants by means of the
star and for the restaurant men to
look out for him.
Sheriff Hammel has been asked by
Inspector Schwege1 to revoke Wrights
commission as a deputy sheriff with
out pay.
Wright said last night:
Il lost my original inspectors star
and the one 1 have been wearing was
one I had made to order. l thought
l had a right to keep it.

HANDTCAPI IS
OPEN AFFAIR
TWO GOOD RACES ON CARD FOR
THIS AFTERNOON
liza, with Jockey Shilling in the Saddle,
May Cop Opening Number
from Sir Russell and
RenshaW
by IRVING II. CLEMENT

The handicap. at a mile. is the feat
ure event of the card for today and
an exceptionally good lot have ac-
cepted the weights and will face the
starter. The fifth race, at mile and
ee-sixteenths, is the sidelight to
the handicap, fair lot of selling
platers being carded to fight out the
issue. The rest of the card, with the
exception of the baby race, is ordinary.
A poor lot of sprinters, non winners
at the meeting, will go in the first race
and it is a hard task selecting the win
ner, as the field is large and post
positions and jockeys will have to be
taken into consideration AS Tia is a
rapid breaker and Shilling will prob
ably ride, she looks a shade the best.
Sir Russell will have that clever post
rider Burns in the saddle, and as he has
a lot of early speed should be a serious
contender all the way. Renshaw's last
race was good a repetition of that per-
Torrance gives him a good chance. Sun
Mark, Reuben, Rosemary D. and Mas
ter Lester are the outsiders that have
a good chance.
Fred Mater, Joe Gaitens, Chilla, Silk
Hose and Traffic look best of those en-
tered in the second race. Fred Maier,
with an even break at the barrier and
good ride will be the one to beat.
Joe Gaitens' only race was good one
and he should be the runner up. Chilla
will have Boland in the saddle; that
means a good ride, and she may upset
calculations and win. Silk Hose, If she
runs to her private trials, will be right
there all the way. Traffic was all but
left in her last race and may show to
better advantage today.
VeIma May Break
Three-year-old maidens will hold
sway in the third race and on form 1t
looks like strictly three-horse race
Velma c., Billowy and Athor-and if
form is lived up to they may catch the
judges eye in the order named. Litho-
lin and Latona are the outsiders that
should go well.
The weight arrangement for the
handicap is a clever piece of work and
evidently Secretary Smith burnt the
midnight oil. as he will have all the
dope students studying and figuring. 1t
will he only a waste of time to try to
figure the race, so here goes on
guess: Mark Anthony, Col. Jack,
George S. Davis.
Bellmence, Avontellus and Baron
Esther have the purse to divide among
themselves in the fifth race. Bellmence
won his last race from Avontellus
handily and should do so again, as
there is not much difference in weight.
Baron Esher is the dangerous one here
and he has a good chance to split the
top ones and even beat them BOTH
Belarius, Whidden and Barney Old
field look best in the sixth race. The
former is fast, game colt and he
should towrope his field the entire
journey. Whidden finished fast in his
last race and should get UP in time to
beat Barney for place honors. Char
lie Paine and John ]. Rogers figure
with a slight chance only, as they have
shown but little.

Schilling drove Fastoso' at his work
and was a length to the good to cash
for the show bettors.
Favorite players had a chance to
score in the final number, when Ca
niaue proved an easy winner over the
eleven platers opposed to him. Alma
Boy was second, with Lady Chiswell
geeting what was left of the money
1t looked like Lucky Lad for repeater
for half the journey, as Murrays meal
ticket led the bunch until the six-fur-
long post, where he stopped and al
lowed Milano to rush Canique into a
commanding lead. Alma Boy was al
ways in second place, and Burns
worked hard on Lady Chiswell to get
her past Homeless for the rest of the

PRIVATE SECRETARY TO HUNT
BIG GAME
President to Take Active Part In Re-
ception to American Athletes Who
Took Part in Olympic
Contests

BY Associated Press.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y. July 2e.-Again
this morning President Roosevelt made
use of an automobile in preference to
a team of his fine horses in going from
Sycamore Hill down to Christ Episco-
pal church in the village.
1t is reported the president has said
he did not care to use an automobile
so long as there were good horses to
be had. But it would seem that he is
beginning to take a fancy to riding in
one or the other of the two big touring
cars stationed here for the use of the
secret service men, for on number
of occasions recently he has made use
of them.
Today was the second Sunday he has
come to the church in one of the big
cars.
Mrs. Roosevelt accompanied the pres
ident as usual this morning and with
them came Mrs. Beekman winthrop.
wife of the assistant secretary of the
treasury and a guest at Sycamore Hill;
Captain Edmund L. Butts. Third in
fantry, u. S. A., and one of the presi-
dents military aids. also a guest over
Sunday. and Archibald and quentin,
the presidents youngest sons.
Miss Ethel and Kermit Roosevelt
and party of their friends were
guests at dinner party this evening
on board the presidents yacht May
flower.
President Roosevelt's private secre-
tary. William Loeb Jr., is Furnishing
UP his rifles and other firearms and
overhauling his fishing tackle prepara-
tory to taking his summer vacation
and enjoying relaxation from the ardu-
Gus duties of the important post he oc-
cupies. Mr.. Loeb will leave next Fri
day for a months recreation and sport
in the woods. First he will go to the
Maine woods, where he will spend a
short time. From there he will go to
the west, where he has camp in the
Jackson Hole country in Wyoming.
There he will spend the remainder of
his holiday, roughing it in true Roose-
Welt style. He will do some shooting of
big game in the west and will try his
luck as a brook fisherman.
The presidents interest in the vic
tories of the American athletes at Lon
don in the Olympic games of the
American committee of which he was
the honorary president, is great, and
1t is not improbable that he win take
some part in the proposed reception to
the athletes on their return from Eng
land should the plans to have all the
members of the American contingent
return at the same time instead of
making visits abroad be successful.
1t is said that it is not unlikely that
should the president be unable to go
to New York for the welcome he may
invite the victors in a body to Saga
more Hill to there tell them how great
ly pleased he is over the remarkable
showing they made at Londons

Beecher Slater, Harry and Frank
Wilson, Los Angeles high school stu
dents, who started out a week ago
without a nickle between them to walk
over most of Southern California, say
they will never turn tramps again.
Nothing but their high school diplo-
mas, which two of the boys were so
proud of that they took them along,
saved the trio from landing in the jail
at Glendora as Migrants

a quarter and we will take our sheep
skins, too. We found them very USE
full for Identification purposes"
For forty-six hours the trio went
without food and were confronted with
the awful alternative of writing home
for money or saving wood for a wo-
man. After mature elaboration they
chose the latter and then ate enough
breakfast to last another day.
At Glendora they were welcomed by
the sheriff, who said he wanted to
know" While they were being marched

his diploma from the Los Angeles high

(kHT1 HE MAN FROM MEXICO" is
VIGOROUSLY one Of the funniest
Il plays ever written, and as
such always gets a good house. 1t is
the attraction at the Burbank this
week, and judging from the big crowd
at the first presentation, yesterday af-
ternoon, it is going to do a fine bust
ness.
With Harry Mestayer as Benjamin
Fitzhew, "the man." and David Edwin
as Colonel Roderick Major, this pop
ular company has injected a new vital
izing force through the DuSouchet
comedy and presents 1t in a manner
that ought to interest even Willie Col

piece.
Byron Beasley is a good Loveall, the
warden of the little place across the
river" and Gerald Harcourt, as a
lover and nephew of the district attor-
ney, also does some good work. But

DINNER BELL R0USES
MAN FROM THE DEAD

VIENNA, Mo-, July 26.-Pronounced
dead after all efforts toward resuscita-
ton had failed to produce the slight
est sign of animation, and laid out on
a board death slab, Peter Frey, a
wealthy young farmer, whose body had
been taken from Gasconade river,
arose to a sitting posture at the dinner
hour and asked for food.
Frey had apparently lost his life by
drowning. His complete recovery, four
hours after the discoloration of his
flesh to the purple common after death
in water, is marvel.
Frey was SEEMING when he became
entangled in the seine ropes. His cries
brought William Kerr to the rescue,
but Kerr was forced by the swift cur
rent to abandon his efforts. Frey sank
from view for the last time ten min
utes after his father-in-law, j. p. Tack
EFT, reached the scene with a boat.
His body was recovered with a grap-
ping hook and all methods of restor-
ing drowning persons applied in vain.
