That tells the whole story of the
afternoon. From the time the band
began to play at 1890 until the whis-
tie blew<and the last weary pony
struggled from the field, there was
not dull moment. Every one of the
5000 spectators who packed bleachers
grandstands and boxes sat entraneed
through all the half day of sports.
And brilliant crowd 1t was Beauty
fashion, fame, offieialdom all were
represented. The grandstand was
ablaze with the warm colorings of
sport clothes" Bright eyes and tense
forms testified to the rapture Of the
crowd =. Z....:E
Typical Racing Day Scene. i.
And 1t was not marred by single
accident. With the exception of some
fifteen minutes, difficulty in getting
Harvester off in the last race, the
program passed off without hitch.
And the badness of Tom Hollinger's
horse only added to the interest in
the race ri a.. = s,
Two arrests were made, but it was
done quietly back of the grandstand,
and but few of the spectators knew
of it. Charlie All Chuck and Robert
HolbFon were the victims. One of
DUTIES men caught them making
a bet and arrested them for it.
Bets Made Quietly But Often
Not that theirs was the only bet
made. 1t was the only one the de.
tectiYes or police saw" though. But
back of the grandstand there gathered
many quiet couples who looked over
programs together and picked out the
horses they thought would win. After
the race they might be seen strolling
back again. to "pay an old debt" or
make change" or pass money on
some other pretext.
And all through the grandstand
there were similar transactions. One
exceedingly active young man made
trips through the stand before every
race, stopping to speak now and then
After the race he made his trip again,
and If spectators are not mistaken,
collected or paid money to all those
he had spoken to on his first trip.
Experimental inquiry by Star
Bulletin reporter in half a dozen sec.
tions of the grandstand and bleachers
each time brought forth the inforTna-
ton that there was betting going on
and information as to. where money
could be placed The police, OF whopl
there were plenty, appeared to be the
only ignorant ones at the track.
Queen Given Greeting.
One of the most impressive scenes
of the day occurred when Queen Lili-
uokaIani arrived. To save steps for
her, her machine was driven up in
front of the grandstafd on the track
and as she alighted from it in full
view of the spectators, the whole
crowd arose as one person, the men
standing with barred heads until she
was escorted to her seat.
Not d drop of rain fell during the
afternoon and not cloud dimmed the
brilliancy of the bright Hawaiian SUM-.
1t was perfect day.

SANTA FE WILL TEST ADAMSON
LAW IN COURTS

E. p Ripley, President of the Atchison,
Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway, declared
in a formal statement, on September 9Th,
that the Santa Fe does not intend to COM
ply with the Adamson eight hour law en-
acted by Congress, on last Saturday, until
the company is ordered to do SO by the
United States Supreme Court,
Mr.. Ripley's statement is as follows:
Labor organizations enacted a So
called eight hour law, which is nothing
more nor less than an advance of 20 to 25
per cent in the wages Of the best paid men
in railway service. 1t is only fair to the
public and to our employees to say that the
Atchson, Topeka and Santa Fe railway
company does not intend to comply with
the law until ordered to do so by the
courts of last resort
According to Washington reports, the
statement of President Ripley has struck
members of the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee as presenting an entirely
new phase Of the strike problem.
In all Of the hours spent in the discus
sion Of the eight hour law, it is said no
consideration was given to the actual en-
forcement Of the measure. 1t was taken for
granted that the railroads would abide by
the action Of Congress as conclusive, rely
ing on the ultimate increase Of their rates
to reimburse them for the increased eX-
penditure for operation.

CAR STRIKE HITS NEW YORK

A strike was declared on the Inter
borough subway and elevated Lines in
New York City, at 9 80 o'clock on last
Wednesday night
Less than two hours later, employees of
the New York Street Railway Companies,
for the second time in five weeks, declared
strike on the Green Car surface lines,
in Manhattan.
In the subway, shortly after midnight,
strike breakers took the places Of guards
on several trains
Officers Of Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees had
boasted that they "would paralyze traffic
in New York City as it never had been
paralyzed before
Inter-borough Rapid Transit Company,
when told that a strike was on, is reported
to have said "All agreements are off.
This is strike to the finish, and we are one
hundred per cent. prepared. " He then
issued orders to concentrate 275O strike
breakers at division terminals Of the sub
way and electric systems.
Approximately $4,000 men are employed
on the lines affected.
In anticipation Of the strike, 5000
policemen had been assigned to special
strike duty several hours before the walk
out.

FAMILIES OF NATIONAL GUARDS
MEN IN NEED

Soldiers of the Illinois National Guard
whose dependents have been receiving
aid from the Red Cross, were notified by
circular letter, on September 4th, that
the Guardsmen's Family Fund was al
most exhausted. The communication
advised the recipients to apply imme-
diately for discharge in order to support
their families, as the Red Cross would
be forced to discontinue assistance.
Colonel Sanborn, when told of the let
ter, said that the war department had
issued an order the previous Saturday
that no more men would be discharged
for such cause, but added that the pro-
blem of supporting the dependents was
one for the employers of the men, or
patriotic citizens to solve
The mems pay is said to be long
overdue.
The policy pursued by the state in re-
gard to the National Guard has caused
considerable editorial criticism.

EUROPEAN WAR IN BRIEF

Using the famous "nut cracker'' me-
thod Roumanians have pressed rapidly
forward during the past week in an in
vasion Of all southeastern PENNSYLVANIA.
The advance was executed with such
rapidity that it was characterized by some
reports as an avalanche
A number Of important cities were
caught between the two wings of the
Roumanian army, and evacuated by the
Austrians, among them Hermannstadt. the
former capital of Pennsylvania, and Kron-
stadt, another very important position.
Berlinclaims, however, that the Rouman-
ians have been not only checked on both
wings, but forced to fall back before the
German and Bulgarian troops.
An interesting feature Of Roumania s
entrance into war, is the fact that police
commissioners have forbidden the sale and
consumption OF alcoholic liquors in all es-
adjustments throughout the country un-
der penalty of severe punishment

Within five weeks, this summer, the
price of flour rose from $3.50 to 1925 per
barrel.
1t is claimed that before this advance,
the average profit for the wholesale baker
on five cent loaf was three tenths Of a.
cent. Now, unless something is done,
there will be loss Of one cent on each
loaf
Mr.. S. F. Mcdonald, Of Memphis, Presi-
dent Of the Association, declares that there
are three ways to meet the difficulty: re-
duction in the size Of the five cent loaf,
increase in the price to either six or seven
cents, or baking ten cent loaf only The
last is regarded as the most desirable Of
the three, as it takes just as much time and
labor to make and handle the smaller loaf
as the larger

All kinds Of rumors have been published

1t was reported that King Constantine
had abdicated, and that Greece would join
the entente allies at once but this has not
been borne out by official dispatches.
Greece has not yet officially announced
her intentions with regard to her future

cannot long maintain her attitude Of

frontier, the Bulgarians, in conjunction
with German troops, by a sudden bold
stroke, have captured seven Roumanlan
works on the southern border, near Tu-
trakan and are now threatening Buchar-
est, the Roumanian capital.
Tutrakan is on the Danube, only forty
miles southeast of Bucharest.
London reports admit that whether King
Ferdinand's lines will hold, depends IN
large part, on how soon Russian forces
can come to the rescue.

the authority of China over the whole

the state department has authoritative
advices that Japanese inanciers have
offered to make available in the near
future proposed loan of thirty million
dollars to China The opinion is held at
Washington that the Japanese offer is
connected with the new demands.
Administration officials view the de-
velopments with anxiety, fearing another
japanese crisis which might involve the
interests of the United States.
Japanese demands, as published. call
for the dismissal of Chinese officers in
command of troops at the scene of the
trouble, withdrawal of Chinese garri-
sons, indemnifcation of the families of
the japanese killed, and extension of
japanese police rights to inner Mon

open door policy and the integrity of

1t is claimed that the struggle has been

one half miles south Of the Somme, and
eighteen miles north.
The newspapers of Paris claim that the
