.H|NDS DECLARED WINNER OF RACE BY REFEREE MITCHELL Eight Riders Disqualified for Jumping Course by Referee-PriZes Are
 Awarded

Referee Arthur Mitchell announced evidence offered and available as to cer- tain riders jumping the course in Thurs days big 6iR-mile handicap bicycle race he had decided to declare Tommy Hinds. the scratch man, the winner and to dis qualify seven of the riders that finished This included Stanley Stephens, who came in first, and the second and third men to cross the tape, besides others who finished lower
 Referee Mitchell in announced his de- cison, said that he had sufficient evil dence to warrant him disquaifying the riders which he did. II found out that A large number of the riders followed some officials who had taken the wrong route,' said Mitchell, and an investiga- ton revealed the fact that they cut off almost q half mile of the course Al of the riders that were disqualified ad- mitted that they followed these officials.
 Tt is hard luck for the riders, especial ly after they make a good race. to lose their standing because of the simple fact that they didn't know the route The officials were not supposed to lead the way and the riders ought to have under stood the race well enough to have re- mained on the course.
 II have heard that the race would be run over As referee of this race I wish to announce once and for all that it will not be run off and that the above an- nouncement of the finish of the contest ants that legally carried out the route 1f the race will absolutely be final"
 Stanley Stephens, who finished first ut who the officials claim to have avaded the regulation course, has filed a contest. Referee Mitchell claims that he can eliminate Stephens from further
 lain' in that he has sufficient evidence to disqualfy him from the race on ac- count of violating the entry card. Prizes were awarded to those who were not ruled disqualified by Referee Mitchell, fol- lowing the decision.

WHAT NExTs

Mobile, June s.-(Special.)-A pitcher here today in the game be- tween Mobile and Little Rock re- fused to give up the ball after be- ing ordered out of the box by his manager. The hurler was Jeff Holmquist of the Mobile club. He had been pounded hard until the fifth inning. Pitcher Ledbetter went out on the diamond to take his place. Holmquist refused to give up the ball, even refusing to obey the orders of the umpires. He went to the bench with the ball and from all accounts has it yet Another freak of the game was the hitting of three men in row by Pitcher Hoff of the Little Rock club.

EVIDENCE IN
 KRAUSE CASE
 CAUSES SPLIT
Government Endeavors to Introduce Testimony on Other Disap-
 pearanGeS.

The time of the District Court to- day is being taken up with argu- ments of the opposing attorneys ov- CT the admission of evidence about the disappearance of Ole Moe, E. Yammamato, aid William Christie, as evidence in the present murder trial. The evidence, which the prosecution is endeavoring to put before the jury. is not essential to the present case, but the attorneys for the government wish to prove that Krause had a regular system of operations.
 The prosecution contends that the evidence is admissible in the present case as 1t will tend to prove that Krause planned the disappearance of all of the men and that all of the crimes were premeditated by him. If the evidence is admissible they will attempt to show that Krause was di' rectly responsible for the disappear ance of those men, which will build up a chain of evidence showing that  Krause made practice of crimes.
 The defense contends that the eyi- ience is not admissible as the pre- ceding crimes. even if proven, have nothing to do with the case on trial and that testimony of that kind will merely prejudice the cause of the defendant
 Yesterday afternoon Ernest Tas- chek. the handwriting expert was on the stand during the entire time court was in session. His testimony both un- der direct and cross examination was to the effect that no two hand writings are the same, although there may be a similarity. He tes- tified that although he had not seen Krause sign the Plunkett letter, he was satisfied that he did so, after having made an examination of both Krause's and Plunketts writing.
