Fattened and 1attered by the vain
glorious boasts of the Gate City, Atlanta

at the game yesterday would exceed the
32o7 mark, registered on pennant rails

MAN
OF MISS {. DAWSON
Leans Before Racer on Eng
lish Course-0f I'm
sound Mind

Ascot. England, June 19.-The race
for the Ascot gold cup, one OF the
most coveted prizes or the English
turf. was marred today by an incident
similar to that which brought the
Kings horse down in the derby, when
Emily Wilding Dawson sought and
found death in the cause of the militant
suffragettes. In this case it was a man.
Harold Hewitt. who emulated Miss Da-
Vison's feat.
According to the Ascot police, Hewitt
was not connected with the suffra-
gists, but was of unsound mind and
of a type peculiarly liable to be car
ried away by the initiative impulse. lie
suffered the same penalty for his te-
merity as did Miss Davison-a frac-
lure at the base of the skull.
At a late hour tonight Hewitt was
lying unconscious in a hospital after
undergoing an operation in the for
lorn hope that his life might be saved.
King George and Queen Mary, ex
King Manuel of Portgual, the crown
prince and crown princess of Sweden,
the Duke of Connaught, governor gem
eral of Canada and Princess Patricia,
and a number of lesser royalties were
watching the race from the royal
stand.
Coming down the straight, August
Belmonts famous colt, Tracery, a son
of Rock Sand, shot into the lead. He
was going like we'll oiled piece OF
machinery and soon had the nearest
horse several lengths behind. Seeming
ly Tracery was assured of an easy vic
tory.
Jumps From Rails
Suddenly a man jumped from the
rails waving a red flag with one hand
and with the other pointing revolver
at Jockey Whalley, who had the mount
on Tracery.
pull up! Pull up, or I'll shoot you.'
the man shouted.
Whalley did his best to divert the
horses course but failed. Tracery
striking the man fun in the chest with
his shoulder, sent him flying several
yards and came down on his nose.
Whalley shot clear out of the saddle,
but, being an adept at taking toss
fell on his back and rolled to safety
under the rails.
Meantime the other horses came
author of all the trouble, who lay
sprawling, a terrible kick on the head
in passing.
Save for some bruises, Whalley was
uninjured and when the King sent for
him he walked stiffly to the royal box
to receive congratulations on his es-
cape
A Cultured Man
Hewitt is about so years of age. Ac-
cording to the police he is a cultured
man, having been educated at Harrow
and Cambridge, and is possessed of in
dependent means. He had, however
shown evidences of religious mania. A
Bible was found on him, the fly leaves
of which were full of quotations. Also
he had a diary in which the last entry
was made few hours before his mad
act. 1t read: "Oh, the weariness of
these races. If fail in my intention
to stop the gold cup, / hope 1 shall
not hurt any of these jockeys. These
races bring out all that is worst in hui
manity."
In another entry he refers to his
intention ito give my body as pro-
test against society convention"
The Ascot cup was won by the
5-year-old Prince Palatine owned by
II. Pitllington. The race was at two
and half miles. with $4,000 sovereigns

HUDSON co. MATERNITY
HOSPITAL ADVOCATED

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 1s.-Supervisor
James + OMealia, of Hudson Coun-
ty, believes that the county should
have n maternity hospital, even II
legislation is necessary to bring about
its establishment. In communica-
ton sent to the Board of Freeholders
Mr.. O'Mealia says that expectant
mothers who are INDECENT are now
compelled to go to the county aims
house, and their children are born
with the stigma of pauper fixed on
them, though the parents may sub
sequently become prosperous. The
hospitals of the county, with an ex-
ception or two, receive such mater
nifty cases only under protest.
The supervisor had taken the mat
ter up with DIR. Gordon K. Dickin-
son before the letter was received by
the freeholders, and the doctor in
another communication urged the
board to arrange for such an institu-
ton. DIR. Dickinson submitted stalls
tics showing that during the past
year the six hospitals of the county
had handled 223 INDECENT maternity
cases. These hospitals have 972 beds.

cases received attention in the City

PRECIOUS PLATINUM.

It is to be hoped that you have not
much platinum to buy this winter, be-
cause this is getting to be decidedly
expensive luxury. You can now pur-
chase more than two ounces of gold
for one of platinum Maybe 1t will
interest you to know that while the
yellow metal has become more plenti-
full and cheaper. the white metal has
more than doubled in price In five
years. The prevailing quotation now
is about s46 an ounce, whereas $40
was the figure when Mr.. Taft was
elected President in 1908. The United
States mines only two ounces of
platinum a day and the whole world
produces each twenty-four hours only
about ninety-five ounces of this pre-
cious metal. This is one thing in
which the car enjoys almost a total
monopoly as Russia yields over nine
tenths of all the platinum of which
