II complaint is made to him that bets
are being made on the races.
Fl. G. Fisher, president of the

that his organization will hold meet

protest to the district attorney.
There is little prospect of a race
meeting being held in Denver this
year; that is, meeting at which
there is betting. John Condor, who
has an agreement to hold a meeting
at Overland, is in the city. 1t was
announced from his rooms at the
Brown last night that the question
had not been definitely settled.
The proposed meeting at Littleton
is advertised to start Saturday and
run two weeks. The arrangements
have been completed. While no COM
plant has been made to the district
attorney, that official said last night
that he expected that there would be
numerous complaints. Sporting men
who had been rejoicing in the belief
that everything had been fixed will
be surprised to read this morning that
there will be nothing doing"

FOULEST MURDER IN
STATES HISTORY
Hanging Too Good for Junkin Says
His Attorney--kiIled Woman
Soon to Be Bride.

Centerville, Iowa, May 27.-The
foulest murder in criminal history Of
Iowa was the characterization today
by Frank Hunter, assistant attorney
for the defense, Of the killing of Clara
Rosen, for which John Junkin is on
trial. He pictured Junkin as an ire
sponsible criminal and declared life
Imprisonment was the proper punish
ment for the moral degenerate as he
was insensible to the significance OF
hanging.
States Attorney Sensa Carnell out
lined the evidence against Junkin dra-
matically holding aloft bloodstained
stone used to beat out the girls brains.
Fred Rosen told Of the finding of his
sisters body and identified the arti-
cles taken by Junkin, including her
engagement ring. Miss Rosen was
murdered day or two previous to the
date she was to marry a well.to-do
young man of Wyoming.
The sensational circumstances at
tending the murder of Miss Rosen,
were divulged by officers Peterson
and Black on the stand today, but
were not mentioned in the indict-
ment against Junkin, nor mentioned
heretofore. These details it is learn
ed, were suppressed because the
state feared they would excite the pub
lie to mob violence.

men and Enginemen who are actively
in charge of the strike on the Georgia
Railroad, refute the charge that they
are responsible for interference in the
transportation of the United States
mails and express willingness to aid
the Postoffice Department to get the
mails through on the Georgia line.
This important information came in a
telegram from Vice-President Ball of
the Brotherhood today. Doubt is ex-
pressed, however, whether the de-
partment could compel the Georgia
Railroad to divide its trains and run
a car for mail purposes only and the
situation of the strike is such that it
is impossible to operate full passenger
equipment.

SUDDEN TRANSFER
OF AFFECTIONS
Therefore Expectant Groom Loses
Bride and His Rival Must Face
Biqamy Charge.


Honolulu, May 27.-R. w. Baker,
arrested here on Monday charged
with bigamy on cabled instructions
from Chicago, confessed his guilt to-
day. His latest wife, however, whom
he married here on May 13, and whose
name was Mrs. Eva B. Wallace, re-
mains steadfast. A romance of trop-
ical seas underlies this second mar
riage Of Baker, who is believed to
be the son Of Charles w. Baker, sec
retary of the Chicago Livestock Ex-
change.
Baker arrived in Honolulu about
May |. One of the fellow travellers
on the steamer Alameda was Mrs.
Wallace, a San Francisco woman, en-
route to Honolulu to marry Charles
Howard, a former San Francisco resi-
dent here. It appears that the moon.
lit nights In southern seas, coupled
with the proximity of Baker, proved
too much for Mrs Wallace's con.
stancy to Howard, and the result was
that when the good ship arrived here
Howard found himself minus his ex-
pected bride, Mrs. Wallace having
transferred her affections to Baker.
Baker it is charged has another wife
and q child in Chicago.

the average milk yield of the ordi-

belonging to Lord Rothchild there
were four cows, each of which gave
considerably over 1000 gallons of
milk during the year that ended with
Michaelmas. A ten-year-old red poll
ed COW, Clarissa, gave 1857 pounds
of milk (roughly, 1850 gallons) dur
ing that period, and has further Civ
en- an average of 1928 pounds of
milk a year for the three years she
has been in the herd. The other
three cows were shorthorns. Dar-

pounds of milk in the year, and has
given an average of 1O,OO3 pounds a
year for eight years; Red Rose Sd
