louisville, Pa, o. Nov. 2-One Of
the worst tragedies that has ever shock
ed this county occurred at Pine Grover,
near here. last night when Daniel
Schoke, a butcher Of that place, cut
off the heads of his wife and 12-year-

The CHASTITY discovery was made today
when neighbors found Schoke lying on
the first floor and athe bodies of the wife
and little girl in a bed on the second
floor. 1901
The daughters head was entirely sever

but his wife's head hung simply by the

the floor showed how the murders had
been committed.

FINISH
At CONVENTION

MACON, Ca, Nov. S-The fall. and
winter of 1909 will witness the largest
planting of small grain in Georgia the
state has ever known as the result of
campaign decided upon at the morning
session of today's meeting Of the confer
ence of the Georgia division of the Farm
ers' Educational and Cooperative Union
of America. The message of the sowing
Of small grain was written at the meet
ing. and prominent officials Of the union,
including President J. L. Lee, 3, will on
next Monday begin an unrelenting cam
paign, which will mark the spring har-
vest of 1910 as the greatest gathering Of
small grain crops that has ever been
seen in the Empire State of the South.
Lands of Georgia that have formerly
lain dormant during the winter and
spring months until the frosts of winter
had cleared away, will now be utilized
as they never have been before, adding
one more product to Georgials apparently
unlimited resources. In addition to the rev.
enue that will follow there will be added
to the lands new and rich soil for the
planting of corn and cotton crops.
SHORT COTTON CROP.
In addition to the small grain crops
this fall and winter, it is believed that
1910 will be one of the greatest grain
years in many days. It has already been
learned by the farmers that an average
cotton crop will bring as great results as
a bumper season, and prominent leaders
of the Farmers union are already max
ing plans to limit their acreage of cotton
.next.year and increase their yearly plant
ing of corn and other grain. -.--.,t 81
Plans for the. small grain campaign
Were enthusiastically discussed and de-
.cided upon at this mornings session. The
entire, state of Georgia will be informed
of the plan. President Lee, one of the
best known and most progressive farm
egs of the entire SOUTH will superintend
the campaign. Prominent officials of the
organization will spread the gospel OF
small planting throughout the state and
a county-to-county campaign will be be-
gun on next Monday. ,.. =,

Tributes to Georgia farmers can be seen
at many places in the city. In addition
to the agricultural exhibits at the fair
grounds there are many other instances
that call attention to the agricultural
leaders of the state.

OF cotton is being built in honor of Pres

HIGH SCHOOL TO PRESENT
ITS CRIPPLED TEAM

The Salt Lake High school football team
IS by no means in the best Of condition for
the hard game with Ogden High school,
to be played on Cummings field Saturday
morning at 1870 o'clock. Although the
boys managed to run up big score on
the Catholics a week ago, the victory has
left them in poor condition
Captain Tommy Fitzpatrick who has
oesn unable to practice for several days
owing TO badly wrenched knee, appeared
IN a football suit for the first time yes
serday afternoon, and it is doubtful If he
VIII be able TO hold out for the entire
game. Gordon Kirby, the strongest tack
lie on the team, will not be in the lineup
az all, owing to a sprained hip. lie Roy
Workman, who was obliged to hold
down the bench a week ago because of
injuries, has not yet recovered.
Although Coach Convill refuses to think
Of anything but victory, he feels some
what disappointed in the way things have
turned out, and is sure that his men
could use another week in good hard
practice before lining up against the
Junction city lads.
The most promising man who has been
out TO fill the position of quarterback in
case Captain Fitzpatrick IS unable to play
the entire game, is Grant ROmney, broth
er OF Pete ROmney, now playing half
back for the Red and Black.

BUENA VISTA NOTES

The racing season for 1909, as far as
Salt Lake is concerned, will come to a
close this afternoon, and the scene will
shift to Ogden tomorrow. An effort has
been made to furnish a specially attrac-
tive card for the finale, and in this the
management has succeeded, as there is
more than a sprinkle of class in most of
the seven races which make up get
away day program.
The feature event, the Farewell handi-
cap at seven furlOngs, in particular, has
strong entry list, the best of the older
horses at the track, with the exception of
GloriO, being named as probable starters
IN 1t. Ethon, the star of the Pasadena
stable, has the post Of honor in the mat
ter OF weights, and he may be good
enough TO carry his 124 pounds to victory.
but 1t is safe TO say that he will be kept
pretty busy to do so. In the race for
two-year-Olds the best of that division
juveniles, at the local track will try con-
clusiOns at five furlongs. In its entirety
1t is, perhaps, the best card that has been
offered a the meeting, and interesting
sport should come of it.

Nothing has occurred at the meeting
that has caused as much talk as the dis
qualification Of Agreement in yesterdays
fourth race, and the incidents leading up
to 1t. After the finish of the race c.
Morton, owner of John Louis, who was
beaten out by Agreement in close, driv-
ing finish, informed the judges that he
believed Singleton was under weight,
judging from the appearance of the lead
pad with which he weighed in, and the
officials called the rider back and had
him weighed again. 1t was found that
MOTtOn'S SuTmise was correct, and that
Agreement carried several pounds less
than the III pounds which he should have
had up under the conditions of the race,

HEAVYWEIGHT PRINCIPALS VERY
JUBILANT OVER Fight PROSPECTS

New York, Oct 2S.-"I am glad to get
back to New York. 1 have come all the
way from San Francisco to meet Mr.
Jeffries and sign articles for our bat
tie, and l am willing to make the match
under any fair conditions" said Jack
Johnson, the negro heavyweight, as he
disembarked from the Twentieth Century
Limited from Chicago at the Grand Cen
tral station this morning.
There was a big crowd on hand. in
Gliding many of his negro friends, to well
come Jeffries' rival. Johnson was accom-
panied by his manager, George Little.
Johnson grinned from ear to ear as the
crowd gathered around and shook him
by the hand and asked him about tnr
fight with Jeffries.
Il hope to meet Jeffries at once, the
sooner the better" said Johnson. Il never
felt better, except that the boil on my
cheek bothers me some. 1 weigh about
25 pounds. How did I get that boil? 1
guess I have been living too high"
Speaking of the match with JCffries,
Johnson displayed an evident desire to
have the articles signed right away and
the negotiations for the contest con-
cluded
George Little, my manager. will see
Sam Berger" said Johnson, "and arrange
for a meeting. OF course 1 shall be at
the meeting, for Jeffries and l can do
more in five minutes to settle this mat
ter than al the gO-betweens can do in
day.
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1909-10-29

L am ready TO abide by the eondl
tons that / entered into with Berger in
Chicago, except that l shall ask for a
winners and losers division of the purse.
Jeff Delighted.
Jeffries was delighted when he heard
that johnson had reached the city and
said he was ready at any time to arrange
terms.
Jeffries said that he would be ready
to meet Johnson and his manager tOmOr-
row evening and fix up the match
We'll, we can get together tomorrow
evening" said JeffrIes.
I don't want any newspaper men
scoop On this match and if we meet to
morrow they can all be there The matcn
can be fixed up quickly and Johnson can
get away on a night train for the west.
Berger has Instructors to arrange the
meeting tomorrow. 1 see by the papers
that John L. Sullivan is quoted as say
ing that Johnson can lick me. Well If
l don't knock out that black man 1 don I
want any more show
Some one then told Jeffries that ii had
been also repres eDted that Sullivan had
said he could beat Johnson.
'Well, that's more like it" said JEFF
fries
''Why that picture show of Ketchel and
johnson shows johnson up The idea OF
the negro taking on a lightweight like
that"
Jeffries then returned to work at the
medicine ball.

the official form chart giving the short
age as five pounds.
That called for an explanation, and the
responsibility for the shortage was as
sumed by SingletOn's cOlored valet. he
said that he had forgotten TO put some of
the lead necessary to give Singleton, who
can do about 100 pounds, the proper
weight. The only explanation that the
clerk of the scales could give for the fact
that Singleton passed him so much snort
of weight was that the strong wind that
swept through the scales room affected
the scales though it seems more reason
able to assume that careleSSneSS was the
cause of the unfortunate circumstance
Those who played Agreement only to win
did not lose anything through the dis
qualification, for with five pounds add
tiOnal weight up he could not have beaten
John Louis.
Murphy, who acquired the nickname
"Once Around at the Ogden meeting,
seemed to be trying to go twice around
with Reuben in the six furlong race,
second on the program. Reuben, how
ever, though taken all over the track,
was too much the best in the race TO
lose. Two other horses were beaten which
doubtless should have won. In the
third race johnson rode as If the distance
was six furlongs instead of mile, with
the result that his mount, DR.. Mayer, was
all in when it came to the real issue.
Pauley lost the fifth race for DR.. Hollis
through weak finish.
Pickens was scheduled TO ride Robert
Mitchell in the fifth race, but as Captain
Hackett had Al Hampton in the race the
judges would not allow Pickens to ride
any other horse, and Fischer was sub
stituted for him on Robert Mitchell.
lobe Ramsey and several other owners
shipped their strings to ogden yesterday,
and a number Of others will follow suit
today.

What What in Sports

WINNER OF RACE
IS DISQUALIFI led
Five Pounds of Lead Makes
Things Interesting at
Track.

Five pounds of lead caused a big lot Of
trouble at the races yesterday. and made
q difference Of several thousands of dol
lars. 1t was in the fourth race when
Agreement and John Louis, both heavily
played, furnished one of the most exciting
finishes of the card. Agreement just got
up and was greeted with good hand
The lines formed back of the books
while owners Of John Louis tickets pro-
ceeded TO tear them up. a wait a little
longer than usual and then the numbers
were changed, placing John Louis the
winner.
Agreement disqualified for being five
pounds under weight came the caller $
words. At once there began a general
dlsbursing in the lines and a great scram-
bic for tOrn-up tickets which had been
purchased on John Louis.
1t seems that Jockey SingletOn's valet
had forgotten to put the five pounds OF
lead in the lead pad As both animals
were heavily played, the ruling did not
make so much difference to the books,
but there was some talking from the
players.
The seven races offered great racing
with driving finishes the rule While but
three favOrites came home, the other win
ners were played strong.
Reuben was the class of the second race
and, despite a rough journey, landed first
easily, although he just got there in time.
Another rush was started on DR.. Mayer,
the hard luck horse, and had it not been
for a poor ride from the boy the Doctor
would have repeated his victory of the
other day After being eight lengths to
the good, the pacemaker weakened in the
last sixteenth. and Lady Alicia and Mer-
lingo, the favOrite, both went by.
In a slashing twO-hOrse finish Swager-
latOr took the fifth race, outgaming Dr.
Hollis, and also aided by a better ride at
the finish.

CLASS GAME GOES TO TIE
Freshies and SOphs at High School
Battle Evenly Before Large
Crowd.

Few games have been played on the
High school campus when greater spirit
has been manifest than in the first game
Of the class series, played yesterday after
noon, between the freshmen and sophie
mores. The two squads struggled hard
through both halves, but neither was
able to score.
The freshmen, though greatly outweigh
ing their opponents, smashed the line
hard, but for little or no gain, and only
when either side was forced to punt did
the ball leave the center of the field
In the second half the sophomores re
arranged their men, Snow shifting from
END TO halfback, and managed to rush the
ball to within five yards of their oppo-
nents' goal line, where a costly tumble
gave the ball to the freshmen, who kicked
out of danger. The freshmen executed
one successful forward pass two minutes
before the game ended which nearly
netted them a touchdown.
The teams lined up as follows:
