plant, and then an election shall SCALED
| TO vote bonds for purchase of plant in
amount in appraisemeat. II the owner
of the plant fails to accept the appraise-
ment or starts suit. then tho provisions
of the original bfll shall be in effect.
Water Hoard Lobby Busy.

house this forenoon. Members of tho
water boards lobby and their political
allies were busy I'm the background, while
their lieutenants on the floor boosted foI

Mr.. Palmer. the chief sponsor of the
water board measure admitted that he
had received twenty-nine telegrams from
Omaha men opposing s. F. 8. but he
claimed that they all cape from mer

STORM 0VERTAKtS
MANY AUT0MOBILISTS

Scores of local automobile parties
were caught out in severe rainstolm
late yesterday afternoon, many of
them being forced to spend last night
away from home, on account of the
condition of the roads following the
rain.r
The storm followed the hottest af-
ternoon of the year and caused a
change of much cooler weather, the
temperature this morning being near
ly 40 degrees lower than the maxi
mum yesterday. While the moisture
was needed for crops in some sections
considerable damage was caused by
wind, hail, and the washing of the
soil.
The high wind blew down tent in
the courtyard, under which Rev. A.
F. Dallas was conducting a Holiness
revival, making it impossible to hold
services last night. A bolt of light
ming blew out large electric trans
former on South Locust avenue.

JURIST MAY run
FOR GOVERNOR

Little Rock, May 17.-Over in East
Arkansas boom for Judge William
j. Driver for governor has been
launched. The politicians of that sec
ton all place him first in discussing
the race, but few express the hope of
seeing him make the contest. Judge
Driver resides in Osceola and pre-
sides over the Second Judicial circuit.
He is given credit for creating law
abiding community in several sections
of his district which were formerly
quite to the contrary, and is looked
upon with great esteem by every cit
izen of the district. Judge Driver
is a capable man, and if he yields to
persuasion, will cause a spirited
change in political affiliations.

Ten Eyck, has become highly salts

terial for Syracuse, whose crews are
coached by Jim Ten Eyck the elder.
Two of young Jim's oarsmen rowed
in the Syracuse freshman eight when

months back, and these men were IN
the crews that participated in the Du-
luth sweep at Springfield. Incidental
", the presence of the two Duluth
oarsmen in the Syracuse first year boat
almost precipitated action by the inter-
collegiate stewards asking for the WITH

Not that the victories of the Duluth

handled by men like Nickalls for not

EMPIRE CITY TO
BRING HARNESS
STARS TOGETHER
Race for 2:08 Trotters Is
Likely to Produce SEN
sational Speed.

First on the programme for the
opening day of the Grand Circuit meet
ing, at Empire City Park, on August
81, the $4,000 race for 2:0o trotters
will bring together a trio Of fast
stations, whose cne-two-three finish in
the $4,000 Merchants and Manufsct-
urers' Stakes, at Detroit, gave point
and prominence to the fact that Walter
Cox has owned or driven the winners
of first, second and third money.
When the Detroit classic was decided
Cox drove the bay stallion Worthy
Prince, winning third money in the
fastest race in the history of the M.
and NJ" The two that trimmed his
great young trotter, in 2:06A, 2:04I
and 2:04A, were Lee Axworthy and
Peter Scott. That he had let two such
horses slip through his fingers was not
exactly up 20 the mark of the trainer,
who is called the David Harum of the
trotting turf, and Cox was in browa
study for hours after the race.
Il was not so much Peter Scott
which caused the pangs, for Tommy
Murphy had handed Cox a check for
the consoling sum of 100000, drawn by
Harry Oliver, a wealthy Pittsburgh
amateur, when he parted with the
speedy son OF Peter the Great, just
after winning second money in the
IN. and NJ" of 1914. But when his
thoughts reverted to Lee Axworthy it
was different Here was colt he had
picked up for s575 al one Of the sales
in Madison Square Garden, when the
youngster was coming two years old.
After Cox had trained him one sea-
son Billy Andrews. of the Pastime Sta
BILE. wanted a two-year-old called
Prince Loree that Cox was handling,
and bantered the New Hampshire David
Harum TO trade horses. The Pastime
people proposed 10 let him have Sir
Thomas Upton. 2:l51s. for the Prince
and some cash to boot Cox readily
agreed TO give them the colt, but
rather than part with any cash he of
fered TO throw in Lee Axworthy and
en- this basis the deal was completed.
