MONMOUTH PARK
HOTEL IS RAZED;;
LOSS, $4,000
Famous Old Race Track Estab-
Iishment in Long Branch Des-
troyed by Fire.
special 20 the Evening Star.


LONG BRANCH, April THE old
Monmouth Park Hotel, famous in the
days when horse racing fiourished in
this State, burned to the ground to-
day. The hotel was located close to
the Monmouth Park race track,
where many of the country's most
noted horses ran in their day.
The building was unoccupied, and
not even a caretaker was in it. No
one had lived there since last sum-
mer when it was occupied by some
priests of the Paulist order as a re-
treat. How the fire started is mys-
terry, although many believe that
tramps unconsciously started it.
The fire originated in the centre of
the building and shot up through the
elevator shaft. e. A. Lockwood, of
Oceanport, riding from Red Bank on
a horse, saw flames shooting from
the cupola. The Oceanport, Little
Silver, Shrewsbury, Eatontown and
Red Bank fire departments responded
to the alarms.
They succeeded in saving some of
the furniture, but the entire building
was razed. The loss Is estimated at
$125, 900.
The hotel was built in 1891 by e. d.
Withers, who died a year later, and
it was taken over by a company COM
posed of Richard Croker, the famous
horseman and former leader of Tam
many Hall; A. J. Wolcott and Philip
and Michael Dwyer. The original
cost of the building was S104,0 and
the furnishings cost $4,000.
After 1898, when racing was aband-
oned, the hotel never was a paying
proposition and it passed through
many hands. Henry Cooper, of the
firm of Seigel & Cooper, is one of the
present owners.

CHICAGO, April 7.--The women
243.7s7 of them-voted just like any
mere man voter in Chicago'ss munich
pal election which today gave the
Windy City it's second Republican
mayor since 1897.
William Hale Thompson was the
winning candidate. Complete returns
today gave him a plurality of 1881
over Robert NJ. Sweitzer, the Hearst
Sullivan candidate who led the Demo-
cratic ticket.
The vote, 669, ,S91, was the largest
ever cast in any city In the United
States. New York formerly held the
record with 642, 1853 votes cast for gov
ernor in 1908. In the same year Sal, :
959 votes were cast for President. In
1912 New York's presidential vote was
627, ,S64
Contrary to predictions, the women
did not combine on either candidate
to WELD a balance of power. Sixty
per cent. of Thompson's vote was
cast by men: forty per cent. by
women. Sixty-three per cent. of
Sweitzer's vote was cast by men;
thirty-seven per cent. by women
This was one Of the surprises of Chi

1nman Jugged
for Bootlegging

Sheriff Campbell was visistor in
this city Sunday night and Monday
morning. Monday morning about
six o'clock he arrested a man by the
name of Inman, who drifted into
this little city some few weeks ago,
and who has been doing considerable
driving and making inquiries about
renting land and also buying lum-
ber yards and other such inquiries
making it appear that he wanted to
spend some money here. This man
it is rumored, has been all this time
selling fire water" to those who
wanted to invest in his goods. The
sheriff has been on his trail for sew
eral days and after considerable
fluid seemed to be flowing in the
streets, Sunday, he decided to see
if he couldn't land the gentleman.
Monday morning the sheriff was
eve witness to him selling liquor to
citizen of Kendrick and arrested
him while in the act and then found
his stock of goods shortly after
wards by tracking him in the snow
to where he had it hid in the hill
side in the west end of town. De-
putty Sheriff Hall was with the sher-
if and they departed on the morn
ing train with their prisoner and
his stock of goods.
Some have been of the opinion
that Mr.. Campbell was not trying
to do his duty in this matter of
bootlegging in this country, but
this paper can say that it knows of
many night that he has laid out
all night watching for those who
were breaking the law in this man.
ner. He is working in different
parts of the country and if it is
in his power he will eventually land
the guilty one. 1t is no snap to get
the man and the goods, especially
when an officer goes into commun-
ity have the citizens posting the
man who is doing the wrong. If
you want the officers to do their
duty, do yours, Mr.. Citizen, help
him. If you don't want him to do
what is his duty, help the guy who
is doing the deed. Sheriff Camp
bell, in our minds. is trying his best
to do his duty.

Beans for Seed

E. w. Anderson of Detroit, Mich,
representing the Jerome B. Rice
Seed company of that city was in
Kendrick the first of the week. Mr..
Anderson was looking for place to
get seed beans and after looking
over the bean possibilities of this
section, wired his house and soon
received answer stating that they
would send a man here sometime in
the month of December with car
load, of beans Of various varieties.
They will contract acreage with the
farmers and furnish seed which
same number of pounds will be de-
Quoted out Of the crop. They report
that they will contract for $3.75 per
hundred. The gentleman remarked
that he had never visited a section
so productive as the Potlatch.

Bean Culture

Texas Ridge, Nov. 26.-Perhaps
no single agricultural crop is of
greater value to the farmers, than
the bean industry has grown to be
in this country of ours, '"The Sup
erior Potlatch." For it's merits
have been gained through the ex-
cellence of our Industrious farmers,
and their patience of past years of
farming have not been futile. And
now we see the meaning of their at
tempt, when we look upon the
beautiful fields of those diversified
farms, and the abundant crops of
wheat, oats, barley, as these are
chiefly the grains grown. And one
leguminous plant that provides food
for both man and beast, and that is
the bean. and it has taken a most
prominent part in farming. And
the farmers find this to be one of
most desirable crops to be grown
upon the farms. It not only is used
as a food but increases the fertility

replemishes with new life. And it
is understood when soil has been
taxed for several years with success
i've crops grown, that it begins to
lose its strength and fertility, and
the crops do not average as well as
they did the first year when the
soil was almost new. We must try
to keep it restored as much as pos
sible. One reaps profitable busi-
ness from the bean crop, and the
hay is equaled only by alfalfa for
stock. This year the land in some
places, was unusually moist for
beans and some of them began the
second growth which prevented their
ripening as they should have. And
it was the late rains that hindered
the proper planting time.

May Recall Boise Mayor

Boise, Nov. 24.-That an attempt
will be made to recall Mayor j. W.
Robinson of this city became evident
tonight with the announcement that
at special meeting held by num-
ber of business men a recall petition
was prepared and placed in circula-
tion. The grounds for recall are
that preference has been shown by
the mayor and private detectives he
employed to raid questionable re-
sorts; that in many cases people of
no influence were caught in the
dragnet and were prosecuted while
in others those of prominence were
allowed to escape without prosecut-
ion.
Mayor Robinson denies the charge.
His friends allege that the attact
made on him are because of his de-
termination to enforce the law.
Since the detectives started their
raids the city has been in state of
great excitement.

Munitions of War

Moscow, Nov. 2O.-A contract
for the manufacture of munitions
of war for the European allies, was
received yesterday by the Idaho
National Harvester company of this
city. The contract provides for
high explosives and shapnel, time
fuses, brass cases, gun mounts and
machine tools. The officers of this
harvesters company refused to make
any statement at this time, but it is
known the company has many orders
for harvesters for next years deliv-
cry. Skilled workmen at the fact
ory have informed the management
that the machine equipment of the
plant is such that it could manu-
facture the named commodities with
but little alterations to its plant
and equipment.

Tanned Coyotes

Juliaetta, Nov. 26.-Leonard Fox
a youth residing on the Potlatch
two miles south of Juliaetta, year
ago captured three baby coyotes.
The view has long been held that
the coyote or prairie wolf could not
be tanned. But the success of young
Fox has exploded that fallacy, for
Fox came to town driving team
and the coyote followed behind the
wagon in the manner of a domestic
dog. On reaching town the young
wolf sprang upon the seat and curl
ed himself up like the faithful sent
incl that he was. The young animal
allows anyone to stroke or handle
him without manifesting any Of the
wolfish attributes of his wild rela-
tivas. In justice to the coyote
tribe, however, it should be stated
that the other two that have been
kept in captivity are unlike their
brother-one of them being only
partially tame, while the other
seems to retain all the wild pro-
clivities of his forebears.

Denies Signature

Moscow, Dec. 1.-The suit of the
First National Bank of Iowa City to
recover $597 from R. M. Walker of
Peck, formerly of Juliaetta, on a
note alleged to have been given by
Walker to an agent of the Brenard
Mfg, company and bought by the
bank, was being tried this afternoon
in Judge Steele's court. Walker
admits having signed a contract
with the agent, but declares he did
not sign a note, and that the sigma
ture on the note held by the bank
was not written by him.
The case was tried here in 1913
and on motion of the attorney for
the defendant, the judge gave a
verdict for the defendent. The
supreme court reversed the decision
and the case is now being retired.

Death and Taxes

Moscow, Dec. There is moth

fore the first Monday in January,
and the second half must be paid be-
fore the first Monday in July. And
a great deal of inconvenience can
be avoided by paying particular at
tention to the words, 'before the
first Monday in January" which
means that on the first Monday the
collector can receive no more pay
ments but closes her books on the
first half. Do not wait for the first
Monday to come. Pay before.
