closing declared that the latter had ap
pealed the case to the board OF review
simply because he believed that incidents
such as had taken place at Middlebury
were just what was giving racing in gem
eral a black eye. He added that Mr..
Farley had not bet a penny on JudeX
and had no money interests in the result
of the race. nor in the final decision on
it by the board of review.

claims was unjustly disqualified on Sep

Took Both to Court-Father
Induced to Relent

NEW YORK. December 3-What is the
proper costume for an East Side bride TO
Wearo
. Harry Jacobs of East Sd street has
raised the question by refusing TO marry

years and She according to her own
story, is very much in love with Harry,
. who. while a peddler. wears Well cut
clothes, starched shirt, stand-up collar
and is altogether a we'll groomed young
man.
Up to the time that the wedding altar
stared him in the face. Tuesday night
Harry has never mace much objection to
the way his bride-to-be attired herself.
But when she met him in front of her
fathers shop on Attorney street. and,
throwing her arms around mis- neck, began
to weep and attract the attention OF
passersby, including the policeman on
the beat, Harry bethought himself OF her
clothes.
Get your father to buy you a new suit
of clothes and we'll be married. he SAID.
Then the two went TO the father. who
runs storage shop, and asked him To
purchase the young woman a wedding
gown.
Buy it for her yourself answered the
parent, who holds to the opinion that
Esther is too young for marriage.
That's not the custom with our peo-
pie answered the husband be. Then

self with suitable clothes. | refuse to
marry her as she stands. I'll take sweater

and not be worn as wedding gown
What a spectacle she would make 10 SO
before rabbi in that costume.
Esther. in her faded sweater and gown
stood beside the young man, and looked
appealingly at the judge.
The judge suggested that the young
man buy the clothes. but he replied that
the girl father could well afford TO pay
for a suit, and as for him the puSh-cart
business had been bad Of late and he did
not like to spend money for clothes tor a
bride.
The judge finally let the couple go upon
their promise to arrange matters and stop
quarreling in public.
a reporter found Jacobs and Esther
eating in a little restaurant near Attorney
street. The couple have not yet been
married. but Jacobs said the ceremony
would come off some day this week-in

CALLS 1T A JOKE.
Mr.. Bonaparte Ridicules Plan to
Send Him to Senate.

BALTIMORE, December 3.-Attorney
General Charles J. Bonaparte was in the
city yesterday. and ridiculed the sugges-
ton that emanated from republican
sources of the possibility OF his being :,
candidate for the United States Senate
next year. He met the suggestion with
his usual popularity. saying he was more
interested in getting out of public Office
than in getting in and that he had no de-
sire for any other office after he leaves
the one he now holds. He said there
would he no lack of candidates for the
Senate next year. 1t was gratifying he
said. to be credited with MIR. Tafts friend
ship, but he had no idea of becoming a
candidate for office.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Bonapartes jocu-
lar denlalS, there are number of renub-
llcan politicians who will continue to look
upon him as senatorial possibi ty. Some
of them say they do not believe ii would
take much encOura cement from the White
House to induce him to change his ideas
about not seeking public office again.
The belief, however. that the next legs-
lature Will be democratic. as all have been
since 1898. causes democratic politicians
in the city tn regard the idea of Mr. Bona
parte going to the Senate joke.
