horses were from Mt. Sterling,
KY, and the same owners were
here last year with some racers
equally as good as the ones that
negotiated the track here during
the past week. All the Mt. Ster-
ling owners and other horsemen
said that Charlottesville had the
fastest half mile track in Indiana
without a doubt. Alex Mckay. a
veteran horsemen from Pulaski,
Tenn, who had a string of three
horses here during the past week,
says it is given up by horsemen
that the Charlottesville track has
all other half mile tracks in this
State in a class below it. He has
been looking after all the tracks in
the Interurban Circuit because of
his experience in such work and
his long record as a race horse
man.

was the two-year-old trotter,

HO FOR PL LUNGE
IN WATERS OF
THE OCEAN
0lympians Will Garry Out
Time H0n0red Custom on
New Years

Definite plans were announced this
morning for the annual Olympic club
run to the beach. It has been Gus
tomary for the big club to have its
members get together on January /
for a jollifcation and hike in the
open air, and the day is also made the
occasion of the annual midwinter
swim in the ocean. This custom has
prevailed for many years and the
coming new year will see the mem
bers on the job as usual.
Last year the club members held
their annual hike and jollification at
Harbor View. but the location was
found not to be to the liking Of the
swimming element of the club. The
beach below the Cliff house gives the
members plenty OF opportunity to dis
play their swimming ability, and it is
expected that some 500 Olympians
will take the annual dip a week from
Thursday.
The blank for signatures Of the
members desiring to take part in the
run was posted in the clubhouse this
morning. After the dip luncheon will
be served and jolly up held. at
which the leading vocalists and
musicians of the club will participate.
This feature is usually in the hands
of Tfv Kreling and Willie Nelson.
Special cars will leave the Olympic
club at 10 o'clock on the morning of
January 4, and will take the members
as far as the Baker street entrance
Of the panhandle Here President
William Humphrey and his directors
will line the big herd OF Olympians
up and the start for the beach will be
made at 1890.

Rich Mexican Lured to Room
by Women and Robbed
of $3.50

Did two girls disguised as men hold
up and rob Jose A. Martinez, a Mexi-
can refugee, OF jewelry worth 5000
and $50 IN cash?
That is a question to be settled
when Florence Hayes and Gussie
Franklin appear in court to answer
to the charge of grand larceny, on
which warrants for their arrest were
issued this morning by Police Judge
Deasy. The theory of the police is
reality not two holdup men, as they
appeared, but two holdup women
Martinez, a wealthy steamship man,
who recently fed TO this city from
money and jewelry worth $3.50. Ac-
cording to the story he told the po-
lice today. he met the girls on the
night of the robbery. They took
him to an Eddy street house and the
three of them bought wine. Martinez
drank heavily.
He says that when he awoke he
looked into the muzzles of two re-
masked men-at least they looked
like men-and that he was relieved
of all his money and jewelry.

tive agency. who is working on the
