GRAND CIRCUIT IS

Withdrawal of Many Horses from Card Leaves Small
 Field of Entries for Day
(By Review Leased Wire)

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 1S.-With- drawals took half the scheduled events of today's grand circuit racing card and the getaway program was limited to the 2:1S pace, won by Miss Rejected in straight heats, and the 2:15 trot that Lindsey won in a five heat contest with Boby Doll.
 Charles Valentine was the driver of both original favorites At no time was Miss Rejected in danger. though she made slight breaks in every mile In stretch drives of both the second and third heats of the trot. Sister Strong broke out of the contending and was ineligible to start in the fourth mile.
 Lindsey, the winner, was the sec Ond choice and the only victor of the week for the Mcdonald stables. For the fifth heat, the judges unseated Driver Durfee and put Baby Doll in charge of Valentine. She made the pace for more than half the distance but tied easily in the final quarter.

FRED SUFFER ENTERS
 CONTEST FOR SENATE
Distinguished Member of Ali zona Bar Would Repre-
 sent Cochise County.

Democracy throughout the state will learn with satisfaction of the consent of Fred Sutter to enter the primaries as a candidate for state senator. Mir. SUtter is one Of the leaders of the Arizona bar and is exceptionally well qualified to be a representative Of all residents Of COchise county.
 Because of his large legal practice, MT. Sutter's acceptance Of legislative duties would mean a personal sacrifice which few citizens burdened with similar responsibilities would care to make. Knowledge of this fact was the reason for considerable surprise when it became known yesterday that MT. Sutter had answered to an urgent call from Democratic leaders in Co chise county.
 The opinion was freely expressed that in the event of his selection at the primaries he will pOiI an exceD- tionally heavy vote He has a big following not only among the miners with whom he worked before begin ming the study of law but also among business and professional men who have the highest opinion of his ability and integrity.

Damage on Gulf Coast.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, Aug. IS. (by long distance telephone to Dallas) The city of Corpus Christi is situ- ated on a boot-shape peninsula, IS miles from the open gulf but sur rounded on three sides by Corpus Christi and Nueces bay. On the other side of the bay are Mustang and Pa dre Islands, forming a breakwater to any tidal wave that might approach from the gulf. One channel connects Corpus Christi bay from the open gulf on each side of which are situ- ated Port Aransas and Aransas Pass. respectively What damage has been done there, however, is impossible to estimate as telegraph communication was lost early in the afternoon.
 Railroad property in this section has not been seriously damaged. Cor pus Christi is connected with the mainland from the toe" of the benin. sula by a concrete causeway a mile and a quarter long. On it are strung telephone and telegraph lines The latter failed at about 6:30 o'clock, telephone communication continued thirty minutes longer. Up to that time no serious damage 10 property had been caused.
