WORST MANAGEMENT

Oldest Inhabitant Can't Recall Anything as Bad as
Longboat Afair-Indian Himself Really Worth
Seeng-Row About Tickets
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Considering that as d competition,
it was a farce, the hfteen-mile exhibi-
tion given by Tom Longboat, the In
dian Marathon runner, at Convention
Hall last night, was by no means Uu-
interesting, and 10 those who make q
study of running II was worth the
price or admission. He did the trick

won by three miles
Longboat goes around like a ma
chine. He can set certain pace Tor
himself and reel of mile after mile
with an astonishing evenness without
showing any more effects Of his eE-
ertiOn al the end OF one mile more
than another. He IS on his toes from
the start TO the finish. His stride Is
shorter than might be expected OF a
man who has so far 10 go and his stu
arm motion IS also somewhat peculiar
The Indian is five feet ten and half

prOpOrtioued body. lie is ideally
-built for a runner, and after seeing
him in action there rs little wonder
that he has accomplished so much on
the roads.
Jack SpaU:diug who ran the last
two miles of the relay against the In
dian, deserves the thanks of the small
crowd present for the best feature OF
the evening. LonEbOat had Tapped

was after him like "a fash. The Tu-

rate OF about lItz seconds for lHl

tiuued that pace is hard TO say, for
after passing Jack he settled TO his
regular gait. LougboaL had covered
thirteen miles when the diversion 0C-

HOW TO MAKE BOOK

Laughter.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. U.-At the
conclusion late yesterday afternoon of
the trial in Gretna of Jack Sheehan,
charged with having violated the Locke
law in the taking OF bets at the Subur-
ban racetrack, Judge Burlington, who
presided, announced that he would take
the case under advisement and would
announce his decision next Tuesday
The trial attracted big crowds TO
Gretna, the parish seat Of Jefferson,
which lies just across the river from
New Orleans. The case was opened
with a motion Of counsel for the de-
tense 20 quash the bill Of information
on the ground that St. Clair Adams.

was appointed 10 represent the State
following the declination. of District
Attorney MaTreTo, of Jefferson parish,
20 act was without right TO act in
the case. The objection was overruled.
Upon being placed on the stand. MI.
MaTrer0 stated that he had not noted
any violation Of the law. but that as
the governor had declared there was
violation, he thought it best to step
out of the way
Joseph A. Murphy who was presiding
Judge at the Suburban Park track. was
witness for the defense. He declared
that the system OF betting in vogue AT
the Suburban did not constitute a bet
ting book, and entered into a detailed
explanation of the system.
Among other witnesses placed on the
stand by the defense who testified
along the same lines as Judge Murphy,
were John Weisen, OF Louisville; ]. L.
Dempsey, of Chicago. Hart Dunham. a
turf official and several bookmakers
and official sheet writer's.
The State confined itself to the sub
mission of an agreed statement of
facts which covered the betting opera
tions OF Sheehau on the opening day
of the Suburban; a copy of the Locke
law. and the message of Governor
Sanders dealing with race-rack gamb-
ling.
A feature of the trial was a demon
sJrati0n by Murphy, assisted by Shee-
han. OF both the systems employed at
the Suburban and formerly at the large
tracks in New Orleans. An uproar OF
laughter greeted Sneehan as he began
posting the odds against the names OF
the horses that appeared on the cara
attached TO the blackboard.

Prin. School of Agriculture.

New York, July ia review OF
the casualties Of yesterday including
drownings, automobile accidents, other
mishaps and crimes Of violence, makes
it one Of the most unusual Sundays
ever experienced in this section Of the
country.
At least ten and perhaps twelve. Of
one sailing party were drowned in
squall off Gravesend. There were at
least ten other drownings among the
holiday makers in the immediate vici-
nifty Of New York city. Not less than
thirty persons came near drowning but
were rescued, some Of them through
the heroic efforts of life savers.
G. W. Chappell, head Of the Nation
al Casket company, was killed in an
automobile accident at Canostot, New
York. Mrs. Ward Wing. wife Of
wealthy paper box manufactures, was
killed IN similar accident near Pat

SPECIAL COURSE
July 18th, 1909.

July 18th, 1909.
To The Editor
Some time ago we sent out notice,
regarding a scnool of Agriculture
Course, that was being developed at
the Agricultural College at Bozeman.
This course was deemed advisable be-
cause the College has been getting a
great many inquiries asking for young
men, trained in agriculture, TO take
charge Of large farming propositions,
and also young men, who are going to
manage their own farms are asking
for some such practical course, as viii
be given.
On account of lack of room, we will
only be able to accept one hundred new
students in this course and as over half
that number have registered already,
it will be necessary for those who con-
template taking this practical agricul-
tural course, to apply very soon. As
it is State Institution, the education
is practically free, with the exception
of small tuition fee together with
some minor labratory fees. The course
will not cost to exceed $4,000 for a
boy who is careful.
The work will cover practical stock
judging and feeding, the handling. Of
grain crops. the making of butter and
cheese and the handling Of orchards.
The work is made just as practical as
possible.

present. Within recent years there
has been a recurrence of the agitation
at Catalonia and other districts, which
was attributed to the son of DON Car

to have been Of little Importance.

able.

In cases arranged about the entire
room are displayed collections of In
dian implements and specimens Of
their crude art which cannot be dupli-
Gated even in the territory itself. Arts
and crafts which f1ourished years ago
have become obsolete and forgotten
and such specimens as remained at
the advent Of the white man have
been mostly lost or destroyed. Of
these the only examples in existence
are those secured by early settlers
who were provident enough to become
collectors in a modest way. The ex-
position exhibit contains these speci-
mems gathered from every corner of
Alaska and Yukon. The educational
advancement of the Indian is demon
strated by work from the many public
schools and constitutes a valuable ex-
hibit. It has been gathered with the
utmost care and judgment and from
it can be CLEANED splendid idea Of
what the schoolhouse is accomplishing

the land of the midnight sun.

Don Carlos Of Bourbon, Famous Claimant to

Rome, July 18.-Don Carlos of
Bourbon, pretender to the Spanish
throne, died today at Varez. in LON
hardy. He had been i'll for long
time and the latest reports indicated
that he was suffering from apoplexy.
Don Carlos, Duke of Madrid, who
claimed, under the special law of sue
cession established by Count Philippi,
to be the legal king of Spain by the
title of Charles VII, was born at La
bach, Austria, March 80, 1848. His
father, Don Juan, was the brother Of
Don Carlos Charles VII, in support
of whose claims the Carlist risings of
1916 and 1860 were organized. His
rights devolved upon his brother, who
married the Archduchess Maria Tere-
So of Austria. Their son, Don Carlos,
married Margaret de Bourbon. In
October, 1868, Don Juan abdicated in
favor Of his son, whose standard was
raised in the north Of Spain in 1872 by
some of his partisans. Don Carlos
