HORSEMEN. DISAGREE
AND ONE is IN JAIL
Trainer o. r. Hume Causes Arrest of
j. 3. Armour for Transaction Grow
ing Out of Violation of Jockey
Club Rules

John B. Armour, proprietor of a
small stable of horses that is racing
at Santa Anita, was arrested last
night by Deputy Sheriff Osterholt on
a civil order of arrest issued by Su-
perior Judge William P. James, on the
complaint Of o. F. Hume, a trainer at
Santa Anita.
According to Hume he entered into
a deal with Armour whereby the lat
ter agreed to claim Mary F, owned by
the Pasadena stable, out Of the last
race of that day, in the event that
Mary F failed to win. Owing to the
Jockey club rules Hume could not
make a claim because he had no start
er in that event Armour had Billy
Mayham in the race and was entitled
to make a claim. Because Of this the
deal between Hume and Armour was
arranged.
Armour received $500 from Hume
for the purpose of making the claim,
so Hume alleges, and after Mary F
failed to run first Armour made his
claim and was awarded the horse, ac-
cording to Jockey club rules, and re-
ceiVed an order for her transfer from
the Pasadena stable to himself. On
the way to the stables from the track
he met Dick Williams, the chief pro-
prietor of the Pasadena stable, and
Williams made a proposition for TAX
ing Mary F back home, and after dis
cussion, so Armour alleges, Williams
paid Armour $11O0 for the bargain.
Hume alleges that when he applied
TO Armour for the horse Armour de-
MED having made the claim and also
denied having received the $500 from
Hume. Hume then threatened to have
Armour ruled off the turf for this
transaction and fearing to create a
scandal during the time the anti-race
track bill was pending he postponed
taking the mater before the judges.
Now that the anti-race track bill has
passed Hume has entered suit against
Armour to recover the $500 and Sc
cured an order of arrest, issued by
Judge James. Armour must remain
in the county Jail until he gives bond.

a novel church service IS described
in dirpatch carried by the Associat-
ed Press under date of Cincinnati,
Ohio, September 10: "charles H.
King, once minister in the Episco-
pal church, who has just been retired
and in business in Cincinnati for sew
eral years, has just done something
that perhaps no other minister has
accomplished. He preached SER
mon at the Wyoming Episcopal
church without a congregation. He
faced the empty seats and talked
away about the spirituality of some
men and the non-spirituality of most
men. He argued for "a universal
goodness in man and told the walls,
the pews, and the pillars of that
beautiful church and his or
ganist just what he thought the. mat
ter was with modern, coin-loving hu-
manity. OF course his orGanist,
John W. Hill, heard all of this, as
he has heard it often before. He
and he alone heard the sermon.
When the time came for the collec-
ton he played the ofFertory, got up
went to the bundle of baskets in the
collection room, laid IS note in one,
and passed the basket to the Rev.
Mr.. King. Then he heard the min
ister's TRADE against existing corrup-
ton in our cities, played the hymns,
sang them with the minister, and the
two left the church. 1t all happen
ed because the pastor of the church
is away on his vacation. 1t was given
out that there would be no services,
then Mr.. King said he was going to
preach. No one except Mr.. Hill
heard about this.
