ENGLISH TURF NOT
FOR YANKEE HORSES

A special copyrighted cable to the New
York World from London says that the
English turf authorities are anything but
pleased at the recent announcement made
by American owners of thoroughbreds and
their trainers that they would invade
Newmarket next year. The chief oppo-
sition comes from the stewards, who
are announcing in plain language that
the Americans are not wanted.
Lord Durham, chairman of the stew
ards of the Jockey Club, who always
has had a bitter feeling against the
Americans who have raced on English
turf in former years, is again allow
ing his temper to get the better of him.
He remarked to a friend at the Stockton
races this week:
THE Americans need not think they
can come over and do what they like on
the English turf. We had rather too
much OF these men a few years ago.
You can take my word as a steward OF
the jockey club that the number of
American horses any one will see trained
at Newmarket next year will be very
small. Trainers have to take out jockey
club licenses nowadays. 1t is not every
man who applies who can obtain one. IS
These comments were aroused by the
published statements that there would
be a general exodus of American horse
r. Keene, Harry Payne Whitney August
Belmont and John +. Madden. This move
on the part of the Yankees" has aroused
great interest in turf circles here.
Mr.. keene is very well known among
English racegoers and his advent will
be welcomed. The late w. C. Whitney
and his genial ways are also well re-
membered, and for his fathers sake
Harry Payne will be welcome. Mr.. Bel
mont, as an honorary member of the
jockey club, his Rothschild connections
and his recent racing triumphs, is firmly
established in the affections of the British
racegoing public. Mr.. Madden is unknown
here.
Recently the stewards consulted re-
garding the threatened American in
vasion.' Capt. Greer. the owner of
Sieve Gallon, the Derby favorite de-
cisively beaten last year by Croker
Orby, strongly opposed the contemplated
move of the American horsemen. Lord
Stanley, the senior steward, is also
hostile.
The smaller American owners hit by
Gov. Hughes by his anti-betting law have
small chance of getting a footing on the
English turf, but millionaires are always
welcome.
The World is informed on good author
ity that William Watson, brother to Leo
pold ROthschild's trainer, will have charge
of the horses belonging to Mr.. Whitney
and Mr.. Belmont when they are located
at BalatOn Lodge. Newmarket. Mr.. Keene
Is said to have approached j. Parkinson,
Cookers trainer, with the view to hav-
ing his horses trained at Curragh, Ireland.
1t Is understood that many of Mr.. Keen s
string will compete for purses and stakes
in Ireland most of the time and that only
his best horses will race for the big events
in England.

THE whole aim of our party is to Sc

been sufficiently enforced to prevent
trusts. The democrats demand it's en-
forcement: If it's enforcement rids the
country of trusts. then this policy which
Mr.. Taft so much fears will become per-

will make private monopoly impossible.
If the republicans retain control of part
of the legislative machinery of the gov
eminent and refuse to join in the effort

they are not in a position TO complain of

NEW YORK, December 14.-Left with

it was to pump it to him had stopped
work to fight each other. George Smith.

the surface of the East river yesterday.
The diver, revived with difficulty when
finally hauled out Of the water Is today

Smith was working on the hull Of the
sunken sound steamer H. NJ. Whitney.

kins, who were working the air pump.
was followed. according to the police. by
Russell grabbing piece of iron pipe and
striking Parlkins over the head with it.
Parkins fell unconscious and Russell
leaped overheard and swan away.
Meanwhile the diver, deprived Of air,
was helpless and momentarily In danger
of death. Some time elapsed before those
on the dredge realized his plight. Then
two jumped to the pump and others sig
nailed the diver. They got no response
and frantically began hauling Smith to
the surface Finally the diver was drag
ged from the water more dead than alive,
and after some quick work was brought
to his senses.
Smith said his sensations as the air
supply failed were horrible. When he felt
the air failing he signaled to his mates
above. Getting no reply on the signal
rope, he waited to be drawn up. but felt
the awful pressure bearing him down.
Just as he was about to 'go to Sleep"
as he expressed it. he felt the air re-
newed, but was unable to reply to any
signals.
After Russelrs escape the matter was
reported to the police. who later arrested
him in Brooklyn.

Recommended as a Text Book.

The Red Cross book should be used as
q text book in schools, for 1t Is full of
practical physiology and children can be
taught and trained TO render effective first
aid to each other. The ordinary text
books on physiology are doubtless full of
important information, but. as a rule,
they are too theoretical to be applied to
ordinary everyday accidents.
A copy of DR.. Lynchs book has been
placed by the District Red Cross Society
in every police station and engine house
in Washington. The Cleveland society
has done the same, and it would seem
that every city In the country might fol-
low these examples with profit. The Red
Cross relief column at the time of the
inauguration will be supplied with copies.
The book is compact and small. with
flexible covers, so that 1t can be carried
in the pocket.

I was not aware that any railway in
continental Europe is operated by soldiers.
although upon the government roads In
several Of the countries honorably dis
charged soldiers are given preference, just
as they are In the civil service of the
United States. Such men, however. are
no longer enrolled in the army, and If
they suffer death or injury the fact is not
included In the statistics of military
casualties. Furthermore, the European
governments are much more exact in
their requirements concerning reports Of
accidents and similar matters, and the
post Office authorities In most of them
require detailed reports of the movements
of every train that carries the mail.

an addition of eighty appropriations of
Burns by eminent men throughout the

great work in that direction. The dedica-
