.SHER|FFS men
/ RAID BOX OFFICE
At BICYCLE TRACK
Serve Attachment and Get Off
With $654-Riders' Pay
Quickly Raised.

There were new ticket.sellers and
ticket takers at the Velodrome last
night, and they made good. They got
away with 1854 in cash and by closing
UP shop early escaped the wrath of the
riders when the latter gathered in the
office after the races to get their money.
The new men were four constables
from Sheriff Ha-rigan's office. who were
armed with writ of seizure in the suit
brought by Floyd A. MacFarland and
Jackie Clarke, the riders. against the
American Amusement Company, own
ers of the Velodrome.
AS soon as the Velodrome officials
realized that the nights receipts were
on their way to the sheriff's office
hurry call was sent down town for
money to pay off the riders down
town business man responded with $3.50
in cash and the riders got their money
as soon as the races were over.
The action grows out of an alleged
broken contract between the American
Amusement Company. which is COM
posed of Henry L. Bowen. of Somer-
Vile, Mass, and James b. Moran, OF
Chelsea, Mass. This contract. dated
May 20, 1909 calls for the appearance
of MacFarland and Clarke in races at
the Newark Velodrome during the sea-
son of 1909. During that season MacFar-
land broke his arm and was unable to
ride for some time. AS result Mac
Farland and Clarke claim that $500 OF
the $4,000 called for by the contract is
still unpaid.
Last winter the matter was referred
to the National Cycling Association
and Attorney William j. Kearns, who
is also counsel for Sheriff William Har-
rigan, whose men made the seizure OF
receipts last night, has letter In his
possession from r. F. Kelsey. chairman
of the board of control of the National
Cycling Association, in which Kelsey
states that he has ordered the Newark
Velodrome managers to settle the claim
of Clarke and MacFarland for $567.
The claim was not settled and before
Clarke and MacFarland left here in
May for Salt Lake City, where they
are now riding. they gave Mr.. Kearns
power Of attorney in the matter.
Mr.. Kearns said today: THE Ameri-
can Amusement Company is a foreign
corporation the men interested living
outside of the State In order to pro-
tect my clients 1t was necessary for
me to make seizure of property here.
That Is the reason l obtaind q writ
and had it served last night"
Charles Hummell, John Kane, George
Gorham and Henry Thorne were the
constables who visited the velodrome.
They reached there shortly after s
o'clock, and after displaying their writ
took possession of the ticket Office and

Assuming that the presidents rea !

an aversion to permitting such a law
being labeled as a Democratic measure
Senator Frelingfruysen might have pur-
sued another course and accomplished
the same purpose. IA
"Over on the opposite side of tho
capital Assemblyman Joseph II.
Scharff, of Bergen county, one of Sena-
tor Wakelee's colleagues, had intro
duced bill with asrate-m making clause
which would avesproven just as ef-
fective as either of the Democratic
bills introduced in the Senate.
THE Scharff bill was surprise to

Wakalee, neither of whom had been

Hillery and Robbins, Mr. Freling-

almost powerless Railroad Commission
was appointed. This year Mr.. Fre-
linghuysen backed the Wakelee bill,
which was framed and passed under
caucus rule, to defeat the possibility
of the Scharff rate-making bill becom-
ing a law.
Even now, in his open letter Sena-
tor Frelinghuysen attaches more inn
portance to the charges of corporation
control of the Legislature of which he
has been a member for the last five
years than to the increase in railroad
rates.

Big Income for the State.

The decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States upholding the tax
on rectifed whisky by the State of
Kentucky. is great victory fer the
State, as it means that the State will
n 1T have to pay back to the rectifiers
the taxes already paid during the last
f w years and will receive omei f
about $500 year from this source.
Judge j. H. Morris of LaGrage, e
resented the State in the presentation
of the case before the Supreme Court,
arguing it only fewlweeks since.
. The tax on rectified whisky was nut
on at a special session of the Legisla-
ture. which was held Immediately fol-
lowing the regular session of 1906.
There was a hard fight against the
act and compromise was finally
reached whereby the tax was placed
at II instead of IL cents. The rec
tifierssannounced that they would fight
the case through all the courts, but
they consented to pay the tax pending
a settlement. If the decision had
been against the State and in favor of
the rectifiers the State would have
had to refund the amount which was
been paid by the ,rectifiers and
it would nave crippled the treasury
greatly.

The Year for the Locusts.

This is the year that the seventeen
year locust is due again, and in few
weeks he will make his appearance on
the farms of the middle west. At
least the authorities on locust lore and
superstition are sure ne will and they
have never been mistaken in the past.
No one seems to know exactly where
the seventeen-year locust comes from.
but it's a matter of recordtlhat ne does
show up regularly just the same. The
thing that is interesting Aihe farmers
and the old timers most is whether he
will bring Nv" on mis- wings or a
"P, - as is hoped. ''W' on a seven
teen year locusts wings means war.
There is no reason under the sun
that is known as to why it should be
always be either "W" or "P," but
those are the only two letters that
have been noticed locust lore eX
perts have good deal of statistical
backing when they assert that if the
Nv" is on the wings it will surely
mean war, and if the ''P" is on the
wings it will just as surely mean
peace. In 1893. the last time the
locusts were here said an old COM
mecial traveller the other day 1.-THE
wings bore decided "W.' And we
promptly got into the war with Spain.
In 1876 | saw the ''P" on the wings
myself, following that ne had peace
and plenty. / don't remember Sc far
back as 1859, that is to say, don't
remember locusts back in those days,
but have been told by scores of old
farmers that the seventeen !year kind
showed up that year and bore wv on
each wing. The Civil War foilowed.
Some Of the OLD generation of farmers
have records IN the. old family Bible
to prove that the former visitation of
seventeen year locusts presaged the
Mexican war by bearing the W.. on
their wings. | can tell you the farm
ers are not anxious to have them come
but they are all superstitious as to
their verify as harbingers. When you
come to think Of it, this letter business
seems like a foolish superstition. But
when you do know they hear either
the w or the p and that the sign
has never failed. how are you going TO
explaih it?'' w.
