CANADIANS TO HAVE
NEW RACING PLANT
Duke of Connaught Will Race
Horses at Meeting Which
Opens September Fl.

OTTAWA, Ont, February 24-One of
the most ambitious horse racing projects
ever attempted in Canada got under
way yesterday when the Connaught Park
Jockey Club of Ottawa, recently incor-
porated. announced that all the neces-
sary preliminary business arrangements
have been made for an elaborate racing
establishment.
The club has bought large tract OF
land situated on the Quebec side of the
Ottawa river, opposite Ottawa, thus
avoiding the complications that would
occur in the province of Ontario over bet
ting. As soon as the snow is gone a
track and steeplechase course, stables fol
go horses. immense grandstands, club
houses, etc. will be rushed to compile
ton SO as to be ready for the first race
meeting, which will open September u.
The presence of the Duke of Con-
naught, whose colors will be seen at the
meeting; the wealth and high social pO-
sifion of the clubs officers, and the as
surance that bookmaking will be allowed
at the track have already brought hun
dreds of responses from Canadian and
American horse owners, who welcome the
addition of a big new racing meet to the
Canadian program, now confined to Mon.
treal and Toronto.
Lieut.. Col. J.. w. Woods of the Gov
crnor Generals Foot Guards and presi-
dent of the hunt club, is president of
the new organization. Other prominent
persons identified with it are II. b Nc
Givcrin, ex-M. II. Crawford Ross Sena-
tor Belcourt, Edward Houston, W. A
Allen and l.. n. Bate.

wolves advised the sheep to get rid OF
their watch-doga because they interfered
with the sheep going where they pleased
and were really the only obstacle to. g
perfect understanding between the forest
and the fold. When. afterward, the peo-
pie did give up their tribunes they lost
their liberty, and they never regatned 1t
till they got them back. Your watch
dog may annoy the sheep when they wish
to go astray, he may even nip one OF
them now and then, as he tries to bring
them back, but let the flock think twice
before they exchange the watchdog Tor
the wolf.
1.-The proposal to recall judges for un-
popular decisions is nothing less than q
proposal to abolish courts. To abolish
courts is to abolish freedom. However
innocent the motives Of those who pro-
pose the measure, no deadlier blow was
ever aimed at the heart of human liberty
than this. The people have only to I'M
derstand it to reject it. They are not
ready to throw away the fruits of their
long labors and unnumbered battles. Ia
bors endured and battles waged for this
very thing, that under the broad shield OF
a sacred and inviolable justice the weak
est or most hated might rest secure in
their liberty. their property, their lives.
They will discover the tyrant under this
fiattering disguise. And in the end they
will consign to obloquy the names OF
those who would have tempted them to
their destruction"

ROBBED CREDUL0Us GERMANS
Swindler Obtained Over $1,000 on
False Pretenses.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

ToieiSu correspondence OF Inc Star.
BERLIN, February 8, 1912.
A remarkable swindler named Hans
Mueller has been on his trial here
charged with obtaining money amount
ing to over 100000 on false pretenses.
He was sentenced to four years i'm
prisonment.
Mueller, who is just over thirty years of
age, was subordinate clerk in the Ber-
lin courts Of justice, and. attracted by
advertisements in the newspapers Offer
ing remuneration for assistance in ac-
quiring patents, he felt that this was
the very business which suited him. In
the course of three years he had enter
ed into relations with all sorts and con-
ditions Of men and women, receiving
sums varying from $125 to $4,000 for
bogus services. He assumed the title
of Court Councillor Mueller, and the
name and title of ''Dr. Martini" He pro-
fessed to be on intimate terms with
high officials in the imperial patent Of
flee, and had all sorts Of documents.
stamps and seals prepared, some of them
with the imperial eagle. When arrested
something like 5000 was still in his
possession.
Mueller made sorry appearance in
the dock. He declared himself a degen-
crate, and said it was an inner voice
which he had heard and had attended
to that led him into paths Of dishonesty.

HOPE FOR RACING IN
MOVE BY LEGISLATORS
Will Appoint a Committee to
Investigate Present Anti
Race Track Laws.

ALBANY, February o4.-The legislature
is likely to put through a resolution pro-
viding for the appointment of a commit
tee to investigate the anti-race track
laws with view to framing a compro-
mise for which the racing interests and
the opposition will stand.
Assemblyman James s. Parker, one of
the republican leaders of the lower
house, who owns string of trotting
horses, said that several legislators were
discussing the proposition. 1t had been
brought to their attention, he remarked,
by men who were not connected with the
race tracks, but who believed that the
present laws were unfair.
The committee, if named, will call be-
fore it stewards Of the Jockey Club, Of
ficers of agricultural societies, directors
Of county fair associations and the repre-
sentatives of the reform organizations
which have been active in the anti-race-
track movement, in order to secure sug-
gestions that will enable it to draft bill
under which racing may be revived.
Gov. Dix, 1t is said, will not veto any
measure that is approved by a majority
of those who represent all interests.

PARIS, February TO- 1912.
lie o'clock being now firmly estab-
lished as a social function in France,
society women in Paris are complaining
of the display Of luxury which is ex-
pected more and more at the tea table.
The rivalry between hostesses to strike
an original note at their afternoon re-
ceptions has resulted in notable in
crease Of household expenses.
Table linen in Paris today is Of the
most elaborate and expensive description.
Tea cloths are made almost entirely Of
lace composed of squares. with insertions
of finest embroidery, and serviettes and
napkins must also match the cloth. An
other expensive habit is to have all the

At a recent reception given by a So

while the lady Of the house wore q tea

The color scheme also was preserved in
the flowers on the table, and long,
stemmed pink roses were everywhere
Colored glass is, however, debarred at
dinner parties at present and the finest
and simplest centerpieces are no longer
seen. What are described as aquatic
fantasies take their place. The center
Of the dinner table is hollow and q

URGES RIGHT TO ARGUE
FOR SPOKANE SHIPPERS
81. M. Stephens, Attorney, Appeals
to Senate Committee on In
terstate Commerce.

Disappointed at not being able to
present the argument of the Spokane
shippers. who have fought for twenty
years for lower rates from the east, to
the Supreme Court of the United States
in the famous ''intermountain' or
Spokane rate case now being heard by
that tribunal, II. NJ. Stephens today ap-
pealed to the Senate committee on inter-
state commerce to give shippers more
authority over rate suits and the Depart
ment of Justice less.
Mr.. Stephens said he did not, as a plug
lawyer want to criticise Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham, but that despite his re-
quest, the Attorney General had divided
all the time for argument among govern
ment attorneys

or the corporation at the time the con.
troll was acquired by Edward Tilden,
president of the National Packing Com

company.
Bought by Tilden.
Several stockholders came to me and

Il talked to Mr.. Tilden about it and he
said he would buy it if the price was
not too high.
''They at first asked fabulous price
for the plant. Finally April %, 1907. I
purchased majority of the stock and
turned it over to Mr.. Tilden.
When it became known l was to buy

Mr.. Joseph said he first bought 1000
shares for $4,000. Later he purchased
other blocks. He was unable to remem-
Der the amounts paid for the other
stocks. He said his son kept the books.

Government Counsel James NJ. Slfeean

ger Company to cover the difference be-
tween the salaries previously received by
them and the, amount received by them
from the New York Butchers Dressed

NO: they were so anxious to sell that
they asked no questions" replied Mr.. Jo-

concern was transferred, showing that
the price paid was $4,000.

said to be the most strenuous ballroom
exercise ever devised 1t is danced to
the accompaniment of two-step, played
at terrific pace. The two-step changes
into the lancers and then suddenly the
music stops and the ladies join hands
in circle with all their partners inside.
The men have to go on hands and

secured by jumping for it. and the winner

when a terrible tragedy was averted only
by the resolute action Of the police and
several civilians. who succeeded in saving
seven aged nuns from death by fire in
spite of their determination to die.
Fire broke out at the old convent of the
Ogder Of Ste. Claire. and a brisk wind
caused the flames to spread so rapidly
that soon the whole building was in
grave danger. The only occupants were
the nuns. who had been given leave to
end their days in the convent in spite of
the ministerial decree which dissolved
their order.
The order is one of the most CLOSELY
