SW|NDLER WHO PREYs

Phoenix Operations of j. II. Lanedon,
Under Arrest in Los Angeles.

Although J. II. Langdon, arrested in
Los Angeles Saturday on a charge OF
swindling, pursued his operations in
Phoenix. it is not likely that he will be
bronght here 10 answer a charge Two
Young men who made complaint about
him to Justice tombstone. have been
informed by Assistant Ddistrict Attor-
neg Frank Lyman that the only way
they can hope to convict Langdon is by
inducing the Philadelphia publishing
house the prisoner claimed to represent,
10 come to Phoenix and testify.
The two young men first complained
To Marshal Moore, who referred them
To Justice tombstone. Through the
justice Sheriff Hayden was brought in
Ia the case and he telegraphed the Los
Angeles chief Of police. telling just
what kind of a game Langdon is play
ing. On that information Longdon was
taken into custody.
The victims whose names could not
be obtained yesterday. heard that they
could obtain employment from Lang
don and went to see him at the New
Dennis. where he was staying with his
wife. Langdon agreed to pay them SIS
week TO sell books for the Philadelphia
house, for which he said he was gen.
eral agent. All that it was necessary
for them to do was TO pay him S25
apiece for sample books. which would
be delivered on the 18th. Neither had
$50. but one gave him SO and the other
put up pearl stick pin worth $50, to
be redeemed as soon as he lad the
money. The one that gave him the
pearl pin was so grateful to Langdon
for giving him employment that he
made him present of a pair of pearl
cuff buttons.
Two or three days later they again
called at the New Dennis to see Lang
don and were told that he had gone to
Los Angeles Their suspicious were
aroused. and they searched the Los

1t is a blessed thought to know that

SAVAGE'S PROTEST
GIVEN RECOGNITION
copa de oro's Record Of 1:5e Not Al
lowed to Stand as Unpaced.

/ 1t will be remembered by many Wis
TORS to the Arizona fair last November
that when Copa de ORC Of the Durfee
stable paced a mile in 1859 fla, it was
stated o. The managers Of the NJ. w
Savage stable (the Dan Patch string),
that if Durfee attempted 20 claim it
as a record it would be protested by
Savage on the contention that Copa
de orc was paced. 1t appears that
Savage did protest and the association
has decided IN his favor The informa-
ton is from an article by j. l.. Hervey
in the Chicago kec0rdTCTa'd. from
which the following is taker.
Last week the American TrOtting
Register association held its annual
directors meeting and among other
things the disputed record of 1859,
made by the pacing stallion Copa de
! orc at Phoenix, Arizona. last Novem-
Der. came before the board of CEN
sors for official action which should
determine whether it he given recogni-
tion as legitimate, technical record or
not After examining the evidence
submitted. the decision was that the
record was not properly made and
that it could not be recognized as Of

was introduced in the making of
worlds records against time by hav-
ing the running pacemaker precede
the horse (trotter or PAGER, as the case
might be. going for a record. In this
way a considerable gain in speed was
made. as the runner i'm front broke the

some instances this enabled a harness

side or behind him) by three seconds or
more. SO great was the slaughter of
records that the conservative element
took fright. and in the end. after a
lengthy agitation of the subject,
rule was adopted prohibiting the
further use of the front runner and
CHASING all records made behind one
thereafter as illegitimate.
1t is this rule which has caused the
throwing out of Copa de Oro's record.
1t appears that this horse, in his per
Torrance at Phoenix, was preceded by
runner for from half to five-eighths
of the mile. in direct violation of the
explicit ordinance to the contrary. At
the meeting last week the plea was
made in behalf of the horse by those
in control of him that, while the run
ner did ''precede" him. he did not run
directly in front of him, but was kept
out to one side and thus did not serve
as a wind break for him. on the other
hand. other testimony was to the effect
that the runner did. for considerable
distance. run Immediately in front of
the horse and did act as a wind break.
However, he would have been Gisquali-
