TRYING TO CLOSE
OUT RACE TRACK

Washington, December 13.-Smarting
under the action of the state department
in bringing about the closure of his race
track in Mexico, across the line from
California, H. Brolask of Los Angeles
arrived here today to demand that Secre-
tary Knox take the same steps to put
an end to a race track operated by Amer
leans at Juarex, across the Rio Grande
river from Ell Paso, Tex.
In the case Of Brolaski's concession
at Tiajuana. the government, on COM
plant of residents of Los Angeles and
other California cities and towns, asked
the Mexican government to cancel the
concession. Brolaski will insist that the
same action be taken in the case of the
Juarez track.
Describing himself as reformed gam
bier after 25 years Of play Brolaski VIII,
appear tomorrow before the Senate COM
mittee on judiciary to expose the meth
DDS and the extent of secret betting prac-
tees in this country.
The committee Is to listen to argu-
ments on the bill submitted by Senator
E. j. Burkett of Nebraska, which seeks
to prohibit the transmission by telephone,
telegraph or mail of race track or other
gambling institution across the boundaries
of states.

Admission. December 18.-(Special. )--B.
M. Stradley of Stradley & Co., was the
victim yesterday afternoon of a peculiar
fire, in which the mating in one room
was burned off the floor, some clothes
of his destroyed and a bookcase was
partially burned. During the afternoon
Mr.. Stradley left the room with an ordi-
nary fire in the CRATE, and on returning
several hours later found the above con-
dition of affairs in the room, with the
fire gone out Mr.. and Mrs Stradley &C.
cupy the upstairs of the house at 800
East Seventh street, and Mr.. and Mrs.
d. H. Smith are downstairs. Mr. and
Mrs. Smith were at home, but knew
nothing of the fire until Mr.. Stradley's
return. The loss was small. of course,
but was complete, as the insurance pol
icy on his household goods had been al
lowed to lapse on December l by Mr..
Stradley and he is congratulating him
self that it was no worse. The only ex-
PLANTATION that can be given for the
freakishness of the fire Is that the room
in which it occurred is practically with
out draft, and it is supposed to have
burned itself out without catching the
flooring.

PRESIDENT TAFT
VISITS BOWERY

New York, December 13.-President Taft
in immaculate evening clothes in visit
to the Bowery presented today striking
contrast to the men of the mission who
rose to their feet and cheered him as
he entered the long. church-like room
from the rear. The drive to the mission
was one of the widest automobile trips
the President has ever had. Rain was
coming down in torrents.
Entering the hall the President met a
number of the Bowery mission workers,
among them Mrs. Bird, the mother of
the Bowery." and Dr. Hallimond, super
intendent of the mission. The President
was introduced by Lewis Klopsch, who
established the mission.
DIR. Hallimond first spoke to the men

"It took a man with big athletic heart
to come all the way from the White
House to the Bowery," said Mr.. Halli-
mond, but the wings of the eagle are
very wide, and he has come right from

Street Carnival Opens.

The street carnival to be given this
week by the different fire companies of
the city opened today in full blast, de-
spite the prevailing cold weather, and
predictions for colder. The Robinson cir
Gus has l.een engaged to ill out the week
and offer their different attractions, and
the initial performances indicate that
this company is above the average of
it's class. Indications point to a success
full week for the boys, and it is to be
hoped that everybody will give their pat
ronage. The shows are being given on
the vacant lot on Gurnee avenue be-
tween Twelfth and Thirteenth streets,
and two performances will be given daily
throughout the week. As has been an
nounced, one day, Thursday, has beer
set aside for the Daughters of the Con-
federacy, and the proceeds on that day
will go to that popular organization.

johnson Not Satisfied.

johnson is not altogether satisfied that
when the National league turned over the
affidavits in the bribery case to the Ma
case were sent along. At that time a
New York physician was accused. John
son thinks that the physician was merely
the representative OF the IMAM higher
up and he believes he has evidence that
will enable the National commission to
go after this individual.
The National commission held two
short informal sessions here today. Meet
ings will be held tomorrow and Thurs
day at which the new evidence concern
ing the umpire bribery is to be gone
over.
The political end of the National league
meeting has absolutely overwhelmed the
trading side. Managers of the American,
National, Eastern and Tri-State leagues
are here ready to make deals but on
account of the possible rupture of friend
ly relations between the two big organiza-
tons. swapping players is secondary
consideration.
The National league meeting is slated
to start at o'clock tomorrow, but 1t
is likely the gathering will be late in
getting under way, as the board of di-
rectors' meeting is TO be held first.
President John Dewey of the Boston
Nationals announces that his club will
train at Augusta, Ga, next spring, and
that not more than g players will be
taken to the training camp.

Smiths Resignation Regretted.

The announcement of the resignation
of Maj. D. H. Smith from his position in
the Third regiment, A. N. G., filed for
December 10, is the cause Of genuine re-
greet in military circles. Major Smith
has served in this regiment since the
opening of the Spanish American war,
having enlisted as a private In Company
1 at the beginning of the war.
An election to fill the vacancy has been
called for December 27, and rumor has
it that Capt. W. F. Johnston, adjutant
on Colonel McKleroy's staff will proba-
bly, succeed Major Smith, as he is one of
the ablest and most popular men in the
regiment.
