ENGLISH JOCKEY CLUB ASKED
TO SUSPEND RACE MEETS
During the Duration of the War, Ex-
cept the Newmarket Meet.

London, May 19, 10:45 p. m.-The
government through the board of trade
today requested the Jockey club to
suspend all race meetings in Great
Britain after this week during the du-
ration of the war; with the exception
of the Newmarket meet.
Walter Runciman, president of the
board of trade, in a letter to the chief
steward of the Jockey club, states that
the general feeling on both sides in
the house Of commons is strongly
against the continuance of race meet
ings and that owing to the war it is
necessary to keep "the whole of our
British railway system free from con-
gestion at any time for the rapid and
unimpeded transit of troops for the
war" An exception is made of the
Newmarket meeting because the
towns Industries are entireI depend
emit on racing generally regarded as a
foregOne conclusion and it is thought
probable that advantage will be taken
of the Newmarket exception to run the
Derby and some other classic races
there.
Walter Ranuciman, president of the
board of trade announced tonight that
the Jockey club had complied with a
request.

GERMAN REPLY NOT
EXPECTED THIS WEEK,

Washington, May 10. President

Just now with the Austrian-Italian
crisis and at best the reply to the

FOR PAYMENT OF CARGO
OF STEAMSHIP DACIA
Owners to Be Reinbursed-French
Government to Retain Cotton.

Paris, May 10. SIS p. ma law
was promulgated today, according to
the Temps opening a credit for the
payment Of the cargo of the steamship
Dacia. formerly of the Hamburg
American line, but later under Ameri-
can register, which was seized by a
French warship on ebruary F27. The
cargo of cotton. however, was not con-
tiscated, owing to an agreement exist
ing between the French and British
naval authorities.
The law proposes" says the Temps,
that the value of the cargo be reim-
bursed to the American owners. who
demand 3,820,756 francs ($764.15D.
Whether this amount or a lesser sum
will be paid will be determined by a
committee of assessors, who will use
the cotton market at Rotterdam as a
basis of calculation. 1t was to this
port that the vessel was bound The
cargo will then be the property of the
French government, which will be able
either to dispose of it at the most ad-
vantageous price or keep it for the
needs of France"

ROOSEVELTS USEFULNESS"
Chief Counsel for Defense So Brands
Suit Brought by Barnes.

Syracuse, n. Y, May 19.-John NJ.
Bowers, chief counsel for Theodore
Roosevelt in the trial of William
Barnes suit for libel, spent three
hours today in summing up for the
benefit of the jury the case of the de-
fence. Near the conclusion of his ad-
dress he asserted that the action
brought by the former chairman of the
republican state committee was "a
purposed act of the machine to de-
strOy Colonel ROoselevts usefulness"
Mr.. Bowers used up much more than
the time allotted him. For that rea-
son the summing up of the case Of the
plaintiff was postponed until tomor-
row morning. William NJ. Wins, chief
counsel for Mr.. Barnes. said tonight
that he might conclude within an hour.
Supreme Court Justice William NJ.
Andrews, presiding, will then deliver
his charges to the jury. a verdict
may be returned late tomorrow.
In his address Mr.. Bowers discuss
at great length the testimony given on
the stand by Mr.. Barnes. He urged
a comparison between the two princi-
pals. Mr. Bowers questioned the truth
of many of the statements made by
Mr.. Barnes and presented exhaustive
arguments designed to convey to the
jury the impression that his client was
jlntisfied in saying the things he did
about Mr.. Barnes. The attorney
placed especial emphasis upon the tes-
timOpy regarding the deadlock in the
legislature in 1911 over the election
of a United States Senator to sue

ITALIAN SENTIMENT
is STRONGLY FOR WAR.
Germany Still Hoping That Italy VIII
Not Joint Against Austria.

Rome, May 70, 1880 p. m, via Paris
FThe statement OF the imperial Ger
tnan chancellor before the reichstag
yesterday shows that Germany is still
hoping against hope that Italy may
mot join in the war against Austria.
At the same time the overwhelming
evidence here is that the whole country
is united and calling for war on its
traditional foe.
DR.. Won -Hollweg's official
announcement of the actual conces-
lsions offered by Austria has not tend
ed to improve the situation, as no men,
tion was made of either Gorilla or the
Dalmatlan Islands, promising illusions
to which were made in the semi
official statements published from
time TO time in the newspapers and
presumed to come from Prince Won
Buelow, the German ambassador.
The days of Italy's regeneration are
recalled by the events of the present.
Apparently there are no factions in
Italy now, all differences having been
laid aside for the time being. Those
who have been advocating interven-
tion in the war and those who have
been working in the interest of peace
have ceased to express their views and
are awaiting the action of the govern
ment.
