Parisien Cafe in Sheriff's
Hands; Employees Clamor
for Their Money

Two unsightly pieces Of board spiked
across the doorway, platoon Of city
marshals and deputy sherifs and
hysterical group of ex-waiters, ex-
chefs and ex-elevator boys, all clamor'
ing for money, blocked the entrance to
jacques Bustanoby's Partisan cafe at
Broadway and Sixtieth Street, yester-

Serving for several weeks with no
other compensation than tips, French
drinks, French food, French cigarettes

DODGE IS WINNER
OF LATONIA DERBY
Weber and Wars Horse Leads
George Smith Home for Vic

THIRTY-FIvE MACHINES WORK

Cincinnati, o., June l7.-Weber and
Wars great horse, Dodge, with Muir
ply up, won the third-third renewal
of thee lassic Latonia derby at the
Latonion (Ky.) race track today
George Smith, the winner of the Ken
lucky derby at Louisville, finished
second, and Dick William sthird
Dodge's time was 2::37.
A perfect day greeted the large at
tendance, but after the running of the
first race, heavy rain fell, turning
the track from good to sloppy The
rain also turned the betting from
George Smith, who was heavy early
favorite, to Dodge and, near post
time the heaviest play centered on
the eventual winner. There were
thirty-five pari mutuel machines in
the betting shed which were in con-
slant operation, while three machines
had been placed on the lawn for the
derby race only and were opened to
the public at o'clock.
Seven horses came from the pad
dock to the barrier in the derby event.
Gypsy George caused a delay at the
post of about ten minutes BY bad act
ing, but when the field was sent away
it was to good start. Gypsy George
Immediately went to the front and
opened up a gap of five lengths.
Dodge was second with George Smith
running easy three lengths back.
They ran in this position until the
fart urn was reached, the balance
of the field being strung out almost
the entire race. Here Dick Williams
moved up strongly while Gypsy
George tired badly and dropped out
of the contention. Dodge then i'm
mediately went to the font and won
eased up. George Smith held on
gamely for the place, stalling off the
determined rush of Dick Williams
through the stretch. The other start
ers were Big Smoke, Votary and Eli
son.
King CORN, Franklin and Captain
Rees were scratched just before post
time.
In the pari-mutuels Dodge paid
$3.50 on a 81 ticket to win, $50 to
place and $3.50 to show. George
Smith S. fora So ticket for place and
$3.50 to show. Dick Williams paid
$500 to show.

WE'LL What Are You Going When the Roukes Come Hone
STECHER TO GIVE
| AUTO RACE PRIZE
Dodge Phenom Offers 500 to
Driver Turning Fastest Lap in
Annual Speedway Classic.
FRED WAGNER TO BE STARTER

Joe Stecher, the famous Dodge,
Neb. wrestling phenom, will present
the sum of 500 in gold to the driver
turning the fastest lap in the annual
automobile classic to be held on the
Omaha speedway July Is,
This offer is expected to result in
new worlds record when the speed
fiends tune up their steel charlots
for crack at the 100 bucks, The
Omaha track is unquestionably the
fastest track in the world and it is an
even gamble Resta or De Palma or
Cooper will turn a lap at over ITO
miles an hour on their drive for this
added purse.
Wagner to Start.
Fred Wagner has been named to
act as starter again in Omaha this
year. Wagner is the celebrated gentle
man who wears the noisy checkered
pants, the leather puttees and gallups
around the starting and finishing line
of track with as reckless daring as
driver hitting right angle turn at
eighty miles an hour. When Wagner
gives a pilot the flag he steps within
few inches of a speeding car and
slaps the bunting in the pilots face.
Wagner is almost interesting a sight
as the race itself.
Dario Resta, the famous Italian
driver who won the American speed
way championship last year and who
has already won the big Indianapolis
and Chicago races this>year will come
to Omaha over week before the race
Resta is scheduled to make speed
trial against time on the local boards
on Sunday, July 9, six days before the
race. This means that railbirds will
see some exciting stuff even before
the race comes off.
Treat For Omaha.
| As Resta will not appear at Des
Moines, Sioux City or Minneapolis
this year, Omaha race fans are in for
something of a treat. Unquestionably
Resta has one of the three fastest
cars in the game today and he is one
of the best drivers. This year Resta
promises to be on the job and as he
is not entered at Des Moines or Sioux
City or Minneapolis there is no chance
for his car to break down before he
arrives in Omaha.
Nine drivers have already signed
up for the Omaha race and they make
up a choice field even at this early
date. The speedway officials, how
ever, declare they will sign at least
half dozen more speed pilots within
the next two weeks.
The drivers entered to date are;
Dario Resta, Peugeot; Ralph De Pal
ma, Mercedes; Earl Cooper, Stutz;
Wilbur D'Alene, Druesenberg; Tom
my Milton, Duesenberg; Ralph Null
ford, Hudson Super-six; Ira Vail,
Hudson Super-six; Charles Devlin,
Duesenberg, and c. w. Thompson,

Racing Center Of West.
The old swipe was right, Omaha
is really regarded as the Invest harness
racing center Of the great middle west.
The class Of horses trained at the two
tracks here during the spring and the
way these same steppers are perform
ing at the early meetings are factors.
The keen interest taken in the sport
by the thousands of horse fans in
Omaha and contiguous territory is an
other patent criterion.
But perhaps the paramount and
trump card OF any argument dwelling
on Omahas high place in current
horsedom is the Great Western circuit
meeting scheduled for this city August
p to 70, inclusive. ..t..
The list of entries for the early
closing races of this meeting, which

them ever since.
Galaxy of Steppers.
Never before in the annals of Mis-
souri, valley horsedom has such a
galaxy of racing stars been named to

class of the horses entered insure
nothing but metropolitan racing. A
pumpkin show nag would have about
as much show in this Great Western
meeting as a crippled dachshund in a
pit of hungry English bulldogs.
A glance at the entries and the
purses brings wildly to mind the fact
that On.ahans will have the oppor-

Not long since gathering of New
