SPORTING GOSSIP

good over the outlook for first class
racing in this city the coming sea-
son. 1t is announced that there will
be several big meets at Wandemere
a circuit meet the latter part Of Aug
ust, and then there will tie a good
racing program at the State fair in
October. when 10000 will be divided
among the winning speedsters. The
Salt Lake Horsemen's association in
tends to incorporate and sell stock
in order to raise sufficient capital to
guarantee purses for the Utah meet,
which has been proposed. This
promises to be great year for the
followers of the ponies in Utah.
There is a pretty race on in the
bowling league, with two teams tied
for first place and the balance of the
bunch close behind, lowering around
the 500 mark. Andy Anderson still
heads the list as the best individual
bowler, with Jack Quinn a close sec
ond and Pingpong Pierpont third.
Interest in the game has fallen off
somewhat since the close of the first
half of the season, yet there are still
a large number of the old reliables
plugging away at the game of ten
pins.
There will be number of fast
amateur baseball teams in town this
season, and if we don't get first
class article of the national game, we
can at least see soiue fairly good
games. Up at the fort the team
which beat everything in Manila has
begun practice already, while the col
ored boys are getting together
team which expects to play all COM
ers for money, marbles or chalk.
The bicycle fever has struck China
Some enterprising American is figur-
ing on building a track and giving the
natives a chance to ride on the per-
centage basis and earning a few dol
lars for themselves and the promot-
ers. Road racing has been a popular
pastime for some time in the Flow
cry kingdom, but it remains to be
seen how the Chinks will take to the
saucer track proposition.
liver Lawson, the local bike rider
who has been able to get the money
in the fastest company in the world,
has returned from the east and says
he is undecided whether he will go
east this season or ride on the local
tracks, but the chances are that he
will remain in Salt Lake.

Plan to Spend Half Billion.

The National Rivers and Harbors
Congress announced a few nights ago
at dinner in the Hotel Astor, in New
York, the broad national policy of the
organization under which it expects to
link the internal waterways of the
country and provide the agriculturists
and other producers of the Middle West
with a cheap means of reaching the
seaboard with their products.
II calls upon Congress for an annual
appropriation of $50. 900, 900 for ten
years by which time it is expected that
inland waterways will be so far i'm
proved that cargoes will have an uninz
terrupted transportation from say
Brownsville, Texas, to the Mississippi,
through canals along the coasts of
Texas and Louisiana to the Mississippi !;
up the Mississippi through waterways
TO the Great Lakes, by the Erie Canal
to New York City, and from this port
by canal to Boston and through Rari-
tanssCanal TO Delaware and Chesapeake
Bays and through a coast canal to
Florida. 1t is expected that when
these waterways are improved to take
products of Pittsburg to Texas and
grain from Missouri to New York
without breaking bulk. >,,-s

Reports from the largest fruit grow
ers of Bourbon county indicate short
fruit crop in the county. The only
variety that will approach anything
like full crop is that of strawberries.
Frank p. Bedford, one of the largest
growers of fruits in the county, says
that the crop of cherries, peaches,
apples and pears Will be much lighter
than expected. Mr.. Bedford said that
he would have about seven bushels of
cherries from three trees. and had
about sixty trees that were entirely
barren of fruit. The same is true of
apples, peaches and pears, only few
scattering trees having any fruit at all.

Debate Between Noted KentuCk
iSnS.

Tuesdays session of the Southern
Presbyterian General Assembly at
Greensboro. N. c., began with devo
tional exercises conducted by Rev.
Henry Austin, of Texas. The hearing
of the case of Bennett H. Young
against the Synod of Kentucky in the
matter of the Central University at
Danv;lIe, KY, occupied almost the en-
tire morning, and was rot concluded
when the 1 80 recess was taken. Col.
Bennett H. Young representing the
complainant, spoke for forty-ive min
utes. He was followed by Col. Thomas
H. Bullitt, representing the synod, in
speech of one hour and quarter,
and then Col. Young had rejoiner of
thirty minutes.
Col. Young contended that the Gene
ral Assembly had the right to rebuke
the action of the Synod of Kentucky in
making the Board of Trustees of Cen
tral University a self-perpetuating bod
Col. BuIlitt denied the authority of
the assembly in the premises, upon the
ground that the matter was civil and
not eccesiastical, and that the action
of the Kentucky Synod is.based upon
authority of a charter granted by the
Legislature of Kentucky. The debate
between the two Kentucky Colonelsswas
vigorous and earnest and attracted
many people other than members of
the assembly. At the close of his re-
joiner Col. Young said:
Christian education is at stake.

A LEARNED ARGUMENT
ATTORNEYS SEEK TO oUAsH IN.
DlcTMENT AGAINST WARD,
COLBERT AND PURDoM.

Tho court listened to a very learn.
ed argument last night by attorneys
in the case of W. r ward Ben II.
Colbert and Krbk Purdom charged
with cons piracy TO dclraud the Uui.ed
States. The argument was ON a de.
murcr to the indictment. \. c. Cruce
and Stillwcll H. Russell appeared for
the defendants and the government
was represented by District Attorne.
Gregg and his assistant Frank Ice.
The argument opened in formal
way by 4. c. Cruce reading the indict.
ment. Before the case was submit.
ted the argument became informal.
The Judge frequently interrupted
counsel with que tions and the mat
ter was thoroughly thrashed out. The
indictments charged tnat the defend.
ants attempted to dcfraud the United
States and the attorneys for the de.
fense took the position that the United
States could not have lost anything in
the transaction. Here are the cllega
tions upon which the case hinges:
Ward was na.ional treasurer Of the
Chickasaw nation. He Is alleged to
have paid off four warrants on the
Chickasaw tres urer. three for $1,000
each and one for $3.50. These war
rants when paid were not cancelled
and were taken by Colbert and Pur.
dom to the First National bank OF
Joplin, Mo, an put ~ as collateral
security for n loan. Afterwards Il is
alleged Ward made a statement to
the United States Indian agent in
which he represented thes warrants
to be lawful. Inasmuch as the
Chickasaw nation made an appropria.
tion 10 take care of these fraudulent
warrants and that they were paid out
of the coal and n phalt royalties OF
the nation and that the government
suffered no pccuniary loss. Attorneys
Cruce and Russell took the view of
the matter that the defendants could
not have defrauded the government
and asked thar the indictment be
quashed.
District Attorney Gregg took the
lead in the argument for the govern.
ment. lie showed from court decis.
ions that crime could exis. where the
/ government had suffered no pecuniary
loss. His arguments were especially
| strong in the .tatements that the
| United STATES government had under.
, taken to act as ward for the tribe OF
/ Indians, that II was resumed 10 pay
/ only lawful claims against the ma.
/ tion and in vhe event II was compel.
/ led To pay unlawful claims the gov,
ernment was liable to the nation for
so doing and that warrants when paid
twice constituted n crime against the
United States.
Judge Campbell took the matter un
der advlsement and promised to give
his decision this morning. When
court convened tht' morning he saiu
ne had not looked into all the phases
Of the question and thought his opin
ion would be ready by . O'Clock this
afternoon.
