New Rule for Horse Records

Miller horsemen are interested in
the new ruling of the National Trot-
ting Association, which decides that
a horse does not take a mark by a
single heat. but must win the race.
Very many harness horses have been
pushed to their limit in one heat.
and by winning thereby, got a rec
ord. Then that one unusually fast
heat made the class in which that
horse had to go thereafter. The as
ISOLATION practically says this is
wrong and wipes out these one heat
records. This ruling Of course will
affect many horses, and among them
the local steppers. For instance,

Heart Star also goes back from 2:09

RISE OF FRITZ A. HEINZE
WAS MOST SPECTACULAR.
From Mining Engineer to Inner Circles
Of High Finance.

OF the lives Of American masters of
millions the comparatively short one
Of Fritz Augustus Heinze, who died in
Saratoga Springs, N. Y, is the most
picturesque In the swiftness of his rise
from mining engineer at So day In
the west to a millionaire mine owner
at twenty-eight and in his thirtles an
invader of the inner circles of high
finance in the east
His father, a German importer. lived
In Pierrepont street. Brooklyn, where
Fritz was born In December, 1860.
When very young he was sent to
schools in Germany. Fritz returned
when he was fifteen.
From the Brooklyn polytechnic he
went to Columbia university, from
which he graduated I'm 1889 as an en-
gineer. He went to Butte, Mont, and
a Job with the Boston and Montana
company ut So day.
He came east to receive n legacy Of
$4,000 left by his grandmother. He
tried to induce his brothers. Otto and
Arthur, lawyers, to go west with him.
Arthur accepted the offer.
With his $4,000 Heinze leased the
Estrella claim In Butte from James A.
Murray and built small smelter. With
$685. profit taken from the Estrella
mine he got control of the Rarus mine
and later of the Glengarry mine. Then
he built big smelter. He invaded Brit
ish Columbia and built a smelter and
narrow gauge railroad. He became
so important that the Canadian Pacific
railroad paid him. then twenty-eight
years old, 81 100000 for his railroad.
He established his brothers in the
Stock Exchange firm of Otto G..
Heinze & Co.. bought control Of the
Mercantile National bank from Edwin
Gould and became its president. In
I.OctOber, 1907, when all the bankers
were outstanding their resources
against an impending storm Heinze
tried to corner United Copper stock.
The result was the wreck Of his broth
ers' firm. and Heinze was forced by
the Clearing House association to re-
sign the presidency Of the Mercantile
National bank.
Heinze married on Aug. 81, 1910, an
actress. Mrs. Bcrnice Golden Hender-
son, fifteen years his junior and former
wife of Charles A. Henderson, who
paid her 500 week alimony. In 1911
