SARATOGA STEWARDS
SUSPEND TED RICE

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug ~
Jockey Ted Rice was suspended BY
the stewards yesterday afternoon and
his case referred to the stewards of
the Jockey Club for seizing- Jockey
Keogh by the leg in the race won by
Lads Love on Saturday last Rice
had the mount on Gus Scheer in that
event. The patrol judges are said to
have reported the infraction of the
rules. The stewards forced Keogh to
admit the truth of the accusation
against Rice by the patrol judges on
Saturday and summary action fol-
lowed.
Rice first became unpopular with
the stewards at Empire City when he
was accused by Colti1eti of grabbing
his saddle cloth. I nthat race Rice
had the leg up on Knoff1e while Col
tileti had the mount on IL p. Whit
ney's Moody. Immediately after that
complaint James Fitzsimmons and he
parted company. He was under con-
tract to Fdtz for two years.

LEGION
TO GIVE BATTLE
TO SWINDLERS

Mobilization has begun of the
drive to bring to book swindlers who
are making practice of defrauding
the next of kin of men who died in
the war through offering to provide
them with information concerning
their deaths and the location of their
graves at a price. Posts have been
warned to keep an eye open for
these swind1ers with a view to their
arrest and prosecution and a per-
sona1 warning to relatives of men
| who died in service is planned for
every community where there is a

| One of the most glazing cases I'M
| covered is that of the swindler who
wrote a grieving- mother that her
missing son was in Cleveland and
would return if money for his rail
road fare were provided. This hoax
! was exposed and later the writer
was arrested in Iowa after he haG

building engineer, was largely respon-
sible for the organiza ton of the asso-
citation during a recent visit here. II

ers from agricultural districts. Sue

A simple wedding service took
place Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o.
clock at the d. F. Lavender resi-
dence, Miss Ethel Josephine Laven-
der becoming the bride of Fred o.
Brockman of Portland, Oregon.
Rev. A. J. Starmer was the officiat-
ing clergyman and employed the
double ring ceremony. The wedding
march was played by Miss Ruby
Price. The bride was most attrac-
tive in a midnight blue tailleur, with
which n chic white hat was worn,
and carried an arm bouquet of brides
roses. Miss Anna Lavender, in a
dainty white gown, was bridesmaid.
The groom was attended by Frank
Lavender, brother Of the bride. Fol-
lowing the service, buffet luncheon
inviting both to eye and taste was
served.
Many handsome gifts were received
by the young couple, among them a
chest of silver presented by the Price
relatives of the bride. Mr., and Mrs.
Brockman left on the evening train
for Portland, where they will reside.
No wedding this season has Gre
ated greater interest, not only be-
cause of the prominence of the
brides family, but because the gen.
uine popularity of the young woman
herself made the marriage an i'm
portant event in the social history of
Weston.
Guests other than relatives includ-
ed: Rev. and Mrs. A, ]. Starmer,
Miss Eliza Morrison, Miss Merle
Best of Pendleton, L. l. 0'Harra and

Weston Singer Praised

Mrs. Sailing met with a most en-
thusiastic reception as the soloist Of
the recent o. A. G. commencement
at Corvallis. The GaZette-Timcs
contained the following:
Mrs. Leila Gordon Sailing Of Wes-
ton. Oregon. a pupil Of Taglieri Of
Portland, gave great pleasure in
three appearances on the program.
She proved 10 be a soprano with n
voice Of lovely quality, unusual
range, a great deal Of dramatic
power, combined with a lyric and
lifting capacity that enabled her TO
present most effectively those num-
bers in which the run and the trill
were predominant. In willamette
she sang Of the swallow and it was
not difficult to conjure up fiocks Of
these feathercd beauties skimming,
dipping, soaring through the audi
torium. AS a matter Of fact, two
robins did fit about the room
throughout the program and as Mrs.
Sailing sang her willamette and The
Winds in the South one Of these
perched upon the tiagpole near and
paid the homage Of listening intent
ly, with its little head perked this
way and that as though TO catch the
melody Of its rival. In Suicide from
La Gioconda, and 'Rachem,' the full
ness and richness Of the singers
lower tones might have convinced
the unknowing that she was a con-
tralto; and to one at least she was
that. for in the darkness that cruel
night had cast years ago this one
the speaker Of the day-concluded
that two different people were on the
program. Mrs. Sailing is happy in
her articulation, assumes no poses,
sings with n delightful interpreta-
ton and musicianly understanding,
and probably can and will go. far in
the continuation Of her work with
New York masters.
"Mrs. Ella Connell Jesse, accom-
panist, was a gem Of purest ray Sc
rene, an artist who contributed much
AS splendid accompanies ever do
to the success of the artist of the oc-
casion. Mrs. Jesse is a Portlander,
with n reputation all her own-a
concert artist as well as an accom-
panist."

down.
