RACE MEET
NEXT WEEK

n OOfn belt Racing Association
opens its 1911 circuit at Miller, June
13, IA, Is. Some of the best horses
in the west are now on the grounds,
and others will arrive this week.
The stake and class races are well
filled, and some fast racing is prom
ised. Last years meet at Miller
was M of the best ever held in the
state,
A small army of owners, drivers
and assistants are busy at the fair
grounds getting their horses ready
for the opening meet at Miller and
the season. They put in hours of
patient work with their charges,
some of them even living on the
grounds in tents.
The track is hard and fast as a
bullet, and the workouts show 50 me
fast miles.
George Lowell, Of Montana, has a
couple of stepperS at the race track,
and George himself will be here
next week to visit a few days with
his parents. George was a former
barber in Miller, where he spent
his boyhood days. He stills follows
his trade, but has always been in
terested in harness performers.
Among the bunch Of horsemen at
the race track is Harry Wilson, an
old Pierre driver, who now lives in
Nebraska. He has two or three
horses here. Harry was the driver
who brought out Matte Patterson,
2:073. After winning two or three
fists in the big eastern circuit the
mare was sol ! to a brother of Sena-
tor Hanna. of Ohio.
Ohio Collins and Girls Erickson
may be seen daily at the track, con
sulting their stop watches when
their favorites are Just jogging"
a mile. Also Judge Pusey is there
with his almanac to see If the moon
is right. And they do say that Bau-
mains and Swanee have both turned
their mile in the teens.
But there is something missing to
the reporters eye. DR.. Sweetland
is no longer on the track. A change
has come over the spirit of his
dreams, and this old time enthusiis-
actic turfman now quietly sits in
his buggy, as his 2:20 horse slowly
ambles about. Everybody asks
Whats the matter, Sweety, Why
amt you on the scoring line?" Doc
just smiles, and says he's had his
fun, "Gidap Charley"
A bunch of jumpers are on the
ground, and our highest authority,
Doc Colman, saws they have been
travelling in very fast company on
the California track.
President Corcoran occasionally
pulls the ribbons over a stopper,
just to keep his hand in because the
call of the track may sing to him
again if he runs across a lively per-
former.
Pete Miller and Driver Farmer
have a speedy PAGER in Red Coxcomb
a recent purchase with a mark Of
2:144. He is entered in the 2:l5
pace.

LOrimer Wins Fight For Seat.

Lorimer Wins Fight For Seat.
The senate, by a vote of 46 to 40
refused to unseat William Lorimer, OF
Illinois. This action brings to a close
at least so far as the present ses-
sion Of congress is concerned, a fight
that has been waged for almost a year
against the Illinois senator upon the
charge that his election to the senate
was accomplished by bribery.
Senator LOrimer was saved by the
votes of men who will retire from tha
senate on March 4. Nearly every one
Of the lame ducks" voted for him
Here is the list of the retiring sena
tors whose votes insured Lorimer'5

To PASS RECIPROCITY
WITHOUT CHANGE
Democrats Won't Add Tariff
Amendments to Pact.

The Republican opponents of Cana
dian reciprocity in Washington are
disappointed over the evident deter
minatiOn OF the house Democrats To
pass the TAFT agreement without tack
ing any tariff revision measures to it.
The senate prOgressiyes and a nun
Der of the regulars were elated las
week when the announcement was
made, seemingly by authority, that
the Democratic committee on way
and means planned to add amend
ments to the cotton and wool sched
ules to the Canadian agreement. Since
then the committee. or at least a ma
jority Of its members, have expert
enced a change of heart.
Within the past day or two Chair
man Underwood has caused it to be-
known that the Canadian agreement
would be reported to the new house
precisely in the form in which it was
submitted to congress at the recen
session.
Whether the committee has chang
ed front because of intimatiOns Of the
president that he disapproves of the
plan to add anything to the Cana
dian bill or whether the Democrats
came to the conclusion that it would
be better politics to ratify the agree
ment just as it came from Mr.. Taft
is not made clear. All that the leader
can be induced to say on the subject
is that the agreement is to be passed
by the house as it was outlined in the
Mccall bill

Fifteen Americans With Mexican
Rebels Captured In Battle.
That the fifteen Americans taken
prisoners by the Mexican federal
troops at the battle of Casas Grandes
have been shot is the belief expressed
In FL Paso, Tex.
All the efforts made to reach the
military authorities at Casas Grandes
have failed.
Madero, under whom the men
fought, is still within a few miles of
the place, but according to his conf
Dental messages sent by couriers
here, he has been unable to learn the
fate Of his men.
Madero has been asked to send in a
roster of the mems names, but the
courier who took this message has not
yet returned.

WITHDRAW WARSHlPS

Sea Patrol Abolished at Mexico's De
sire.
/ Within twenty-four hours all the
American naval vessels in Mexican
waters will be Withdrawn.
This action was taken in accord
ance with orders sent out by Beck
man Winthrop, acting secretary Of tne
navy, following a formal protest to
the state department made by Senior
Francisco Leon de la Barra. the Mexi.
can ambassador in Washington.
The activity Of the American naval
vessels was obnoxious to the Daz gov
ernment, and Ambassador de la Barra
was instructed to ask that they be
withdrawn
The dispatching of the naval vessels
to Mexican waters was for the two
fold purpose Of having them available
in case it became necessary to protec.
American and foreign property and
also to gather accurate information OF
the real conditions in Mexico.
It was never intended, It was ex-
planned, to establish a permanent pa
troll of the Pacific and Gulf coasts OF
Mexico.
The navy department took these
steps to obtain information not only
Of conditions in Mexico but also of
attempted filibustering expeditions. In
view of the complaint of the Mexican
government, however, these investiga-
LiOns will be abandoned and the yes |
sells withdrawn.

NAY INVOLVE BOUNDARY

tured Men on American Soil-Death
to U. S. Citizens Caught as Rebels.
Two developments in the Mexican
crisis. if their coming together is not
3 mere coincidence, may be fraught
with serious meaning.
Almost Immediately following an an
nouncement by Jose Limantour, Mexi-
can minister OF finance, in which he
virtually declares that Americans ad-
Judged rebels will be summarily shot
without formality, the state depart
ment asked the Mexican government
to release Blatt and Converse, Ameri-
cans, who are held prisoners at Juarez,
Mexico.
The reason for this request is sig
nifcant. The Mexican government
has been informed that the young men
we're arrested on American soil,
whereas the Diaz officials at the from
tier have maintained that the men
were arrested at Tia Juana, town on
the northern frontier of the Mexican
state of Lower California, and on the
Mexican side OF the line. Only an
imaginary line defines the southern
boundary of California, and this has
never been thoroughly surveyed.
Whether the state departments re-
quest is made in the belief that the
point near Tia Juana at which Blatt
and Converse were arrested, accused
OF being spies, is really American soil,
or whether it is contended that the
arrests took place farther north, IN
territory admittedly this country's, de-
spite the Mexican authorities state
ments, is not made certain.
If the government at Mexico City
the prisoners this will con-
stitute a rebuke for the Mexican Of
hcer in command, for he has insisted
that the men were caught on Mexican
soil.
The fact that the United States con-
sui at El PasO at the time declared
that he could offer no argument why
Blatt and Converse should be released !
points to the possibility that a bound
Rry dispute may result.
Edwin NJ. Blatt, of Pittsburg, and /
Lawrence Converse, son of a Glen /
dora, Cal, lawyer, were arrested on /

against Mexico and Of acting as spies /
