Rx CRANK G. MENKE.l

(By FRANK G. MENKE.)
Tommy Murphy has supplanted
Pop" Geers as THE King Of Reins-
men" by his wonderful achievements
during the 1915 trotting season.
Murphy, by winning $116,5S6 this
year eclipsed the s116,370 record es-
tablished in 1902 by Geers, and Incl
dentally he set a mark for single sea-
son harness earnings that never may
be equaled.
OF his winnings, Murphy secured
s107,336 in regular purse events and
only S9,250 in special match races.
Geers, in 1902, won $66,370 in regular
races. The other money came when
he piloted Lord Derby, 2:O5A, to vic
tory over Boralma, 2:06, in $4,000
match race in Hartford
Murphy's phenomenal success on
the turf during the past season was
not surprising was there the
slightest element of fluke about It. For
many years he has ranked among the
greatest reinsmen in the world, and
this year he jumped to the fore as
the peer of them all.
Murphy's winnings in 1914 went
above the 100000 mark. His earn
ings for the seven-year period from
1909 to 1915 inclusive, reach the amaz-
ing total of S54S,588, an average Of
nearly $4,000 a year.
Murphys greatest coup this season
WAS in San Francisco where he gath
cred in $4,000 during the campaign
there. His next best winning was in
Lexington, KY, where he won $14,470
At Columbus he won $13,170, while in
Syracuse he took unto himself $9,027
His smallest winning was at Youngs-
town, Ohio, where he earned $500 dur
ing the minor league" meet.

LOVES BILLIARD GAME
Noted Player Also Has Decided
inclination to Painting.
Ora Morningstar Has Never Used His
Artistic Ability as Source OF
Revenue-Has Originality In
His Methods.

Ora Morningstar, until recently
widely known as one Of the foremost
billiard players of the world, was I'M
certain for many years as to the pro-
fession he would choose. 1t was
toss-up between billiards and painting,
and his inclination was decidedly to-
wards the artistic career. The result
has been somewhat of compromise,
for while Morningstar is famous as
billiard player he is also closely
welded to painting. About a year ago
Morningstar was compelled to seek a
more congenial climate for his wife,
who was in very poor health and To-
artist is never happier than when at
his easel His real genius lies in the
creation of landscapes in oil, and some
of his best works have received much
favorable comment at art exhibitions.
Morningstar has never used his artis-
tic ability as a source Of revenue. He
paints for the love Of the work. and
his pictures adorn the walls of the
homes Of many of his friends to whom
he has presented them. He may be
said to belong to the modern school.
There is originality in his methods.
During the summer of 1914 this YER
satile gentleman made a number Of
beautiful sketches along with those
two celebrated artists, M. B. LESSER
and Richard Swartzwelder. Each sue

subjects, which will undoubtedly in
crease their fame as artists.
1t was by chance that Morningstar
became billiard player. Early in life
he obtained employment in the bill
lard hall of Maurice Daily in New
York. Being thrown into such close
association with the game he devel-
oped an unusual ability with the cue
and attracted wide attention in New
York.
He was soon recognized as cham
pionship caliber, and more than once
has held the 1871 and 1872 titles of the
balkline game.
His open table. play made him a
master of the new style game of al.
Billiards is more of a reality to him
than art, although he loves art the
more.

New King of Reinsmen and Peter Scott.

Murphy's great record this year was
made possible by the fact that he
piloted the racing sensation of the
year-Peter Scott, 2:05A-owned by
Henry Oliver of Pittsburgh.
During the 1915 season Peter Scott
won the startling sum of $50,335 for
his driver and owner. In San Fran
cisco the great trotting stallion made
his best showing, winning $14,25O On
the Grand Circuit the best Peter Scott
winning was $4,000 at Columbus, Ohio.
The poorest record turned in by the
horse was from the North Randall,
Ohio, track, where he won only S1,285
during the meet.
The greatest winning ever made by
harness horse in one season was by
Lord Derby in 1902 when his total
reached $57,625 However, only $7,625
was won in regular purse events, the
other $4,000 coming through the me-
dunn of that Boralma match race.
Peter SCOTS record made this year is
the next best, and all of it was won
in regular events. Baden, 2:05A, won
S35,700 in 1912 and all of it was in
regular events.

SOMETHING UP SLEEVE
British Press Takes New Tack on
President Wilson's Note.

London, Dec 23-The London press
took a new tack today in figuring out
why President Wilson sent his peace
note. The first outburst of indigna-
ton having died down somewhat, edi-
torials today began speculating on the
belief that the American president has
something up his sleeve"
Some had the idea that the note
was based on special information
which Wilson had obtained as to the
exact terms which Germany is willing
to make and that the note was not an
indication of an anti-ally sentiment
The two statements by the Ameri-
can Secretary of State Lansing were
held thoroly bewildering-but the edi-
toriaIs agreed they were a side issue
All newspapers expressed the hope
that the presidents hint that peace
may be Just around the corner
might have been based on secret in
formation from Germany.

Executive Committee Appoint
ed to Attend Legislature.
f, G.. Fox of the Santa Fe Is
Made Chairman.
TO HAVE NO LOBBYISTS
Roads Handle Their Legal
Business in Dignified Way.
Lawmakers Give Them More
Consideration as Result.

The Kansas railroads will be repre-
sented in Topeka during the coming
session of the legislature by an execu-
tive committee of which F. c. Fox.
general manager of the Santa Fe, is
chairman. The other members are
A. DeBernardi, general superintendent
of the Missouri Pacific; G. w Rourke'
assistant general manager of the Rock
Island; ]. l.. Walsh, superintendent of
the NJ. K. & T. and ]. d. Casey, super
intendent of the Union Pacific.
The business of the executive COM
mittee is to arrange for the appear
ance before the legislative committees
of railway officials who are qualified
to state the position of the railroad
companies regarding measures affect
ing their interests, pending IN the
senate and house. For instance, II a
bill has to do with rates, trafflc Of

railways; if the bill has to do with the
operation of trains, an operating Off

No More Lobbyists.
Always it is a regular official of a
railroad familiar with the subject re-
garding which legislation is sought,
who states the case. Railroads no
longer employ lobbyists to look after
their interests in the legislature. The
old fashioned lobbyist was expensive,
and neither the legislature nor the
public had any respect for him.
Therefore, he was relegated to the
junk-heap. and now the modern rail-
road, thru it's managers, presents it's
case to the proper legislative commit
tee in a dignified, business-like man
ner.
Two years ago, when an important
railroad bill was under consideration
the railroads, thru their executive
committee, addressed an open letter to
the Legislature, making an argument
against the measure. The bill did not
pass either house. There has not been
a railroad scandal in the Kansas leg
isalture for many years.
Kansas Law Strict.
Under the Kansas anti-lobbying
law, no person is permitted to talk for
or against any measure to a legiSIa-
tor, without first registering as a leg
islative agent, and no person, register
ed or otherwise. is allowed to support
or oppose legislation in conversation
with a legislator on the floor of the
senate or house while the body is in
session. There have been cases of an
infraction of this statute, but not by
the railroads. They do their work in
a public manner, before the commit
tees appointed to consider all proposed
laws
