NO REASON FOR STRIKE.

Late advices from Morenci state
that the strike of the miners there
remains unsettled and that the mill

this seems to be the most unreason-

ever.

habit of sleeping on shift and the

against the habit, and failing to heed
the warming he was laid off for ten

BURLINGTON CLUB
Majority Central Association Direc-
tors Favor This Course in Ses-
sion at Waterloo Yesterday.

Waterloo, Iowa, July 13.-At the
meeting of the Central association di-
rectors here yesterday it was decided
to place the disposition of the for
feited Burlington franchise in the
hands of President NJ. Z. Justice.
Ottumwa made the strongest bid for
the franchise and probably will be
given it. Dubuque submitted a bid, but
was not in position to state at this
time that the city was ready to take
over the franchise. Ottumwa, on the
other hand, is ready to take over the
team at once and pay off delinquent
salaries. 1t was the consensus of Opin-
ion that Ottumwa should be awarded
the franchise. President Justice
stated that he would decide the matter
within "A hours.
The directors overruled President
Justice on the protested Muscatine-
MarshaIltown game, in which the pres
ident had thrown out a game won by
Marshalltown on May %. The game
now stands as having been won by

RACE
COURSE IN DRESS
Horse Contests to Be Revived at His
tOric Track in Chicago Saturday.
800 Ponies on Ground.

Chicago, July 13.-Hawthorne, with
a new dress of slate colored paint, new
grandstand chairs, gayly decorated
boxes, an infield filled with flowers and
a velvet foot track, is ready for the
grand revival of horse racing in Chi
CagO, which starts Saturday afternoon.
Post time for the first race. 2:30. An
hour and half later the feature event
Of the entire meeting will be run-the
American Derby, with a f1ashy list of
entries, not as attractive as first an
nounced, but still good enough to lure
even the most faStidiOuS saddle bug.
Scores of horses arrived at the park
yesterday and were stabbed in remod-
eIed barns without delay, then were
put through long workouts on track
that is now ready for almost any
event, from d Derby down to a selling
race. This might be thought impossible,
in view of the rough work put over on
this course with motorcycle and auto
mobile races. Tom Carey held the
same opinion; so did several other
veterans. but little Louis Peters, the
man who really is responsible for the
revival, worked the track into shape
with a system all his own.
Using a specially constructed har-
row hooked on behind an auto truck,
the track was leveled down to the
proper grade, and at the same time
Peters scheme left a soft cushion of
dirt on the course that bids fair to
make the Derby event the fastest mile
and quarter ever run at Hawthorne
Peters has his heart set on a new
track mark, the present record for the
distance being d fiat five" To show
that this is no idle gossip, George
Smith, the Kentucky winner, yesterday
negotiated the distance in a speedy
workout in 2:07.
George Smiths sensational mile and
quarter was not the only fast time
recorded by the already busy clock
ers. Dodge and Franklin also took a
couple Of fancy sprints, the latter
winding up with a 1:39 for the mile,
which is considerable speed.
Last night Peters had so men at
work sprinkling the track without a
let up through the night. Ed White, in
charge of the track restaurant. had or
ders to prepare a meal for half a hun
