s. Page. the sixty y-nine-year-old anna
teur Jockey, came back to the races
yesterday after an absence of five
years and demonstrated that he is
still one of the best amateur steeple-

he won the Biltmore Country Club
Plate at the United Hunts meeting at
Belmont Park Terminal and outrode
two other gentlemen jockeys, Al Davis
and J. Bosley, men at least thirty years
his junior
His Gold Plate was probably the best
of the three horses In the race, but Mr..
Page ably assisted him all the way
over the two and a half mile course.
Despite his age he rode faultlessly and
his performance earned him an ova-
ton the like Of which he never before
received during his forty odd years on
the turf He was overwhelmed with
concentrations for accepting the
mount, and when he returned Gold
Plate the victor he was lionized by the
1000 spectators, more than half of
whom were his friends from the FASH
ionable North Shore colony.

case and demands for 20 per cent. IN

John l.. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers OF America. when in
formed of the possibility of an inquiry
by the Lockwood committee. said: THE
United Mine Workers are not responsi-
BILE for the alleged market practices of
the anthracite coal operators. The mine
workers are not In any way responsible
for the prices charged for the anthracite
product. We again emphasize the fact

Trust Company.
Dier also admitted the purchase of
10000 shares of United States Steel from
w. w. Cohen & Co., and said he might
have had personal account with that
company, bu. was not sure. To nearly
one-half of the questions Dier answered
II don't know and frequently repeated
this until the records were shown and
then would say.
"Well that seems to show I might
have done that.
The whereabouts of the 10000 shares
Of Steel Dier could OF give. but said
he believed he had sold them. He denied
they were hidden away or that they had
been sent to Canada or California or to
London. where, 1t was intimated by the
receivers attorneys Fred Andrews had
private banking account under an
other name
There was considerable amusement
when DER was questioned regarding
where he is living. He first said he
lived with Mrs. Lawrence, mother of
Harry ]. Lawrence, his partner. at 1850
Madison avenue, near Sixty-third street"
When this was pointed out to him to be
wrong, he said 1t might be $50 Park ave-
nue.. and then said that he thought It
was $3.50 Park avenue" adding:
II haven't been living there for the
last two weeks-I mean-I've been to
Washington-that is--well, don't just
know"
Mr.. Myers said process servers had
been sent to the various addresses given
by DER at different hearings but could
find neither Mrs. Lawrence nor Dier.
Some excitement was injected into the
hearing, which was attended by about
fifty creditors when a window pole fell
from the wall, and missing Diers head
by inches. crashed down on the witness
table striking a young woman stenog-
rapher taking testimony. She was un-
hurt. but DER jumped and turned pale
as the heavy pole hit the table with
resounding crash. Several women
creditors screamed.
After clashes between attorneys for
the receiver and Nash lockwood, for
Dier. the hearing was adjourned until
May 16 to allow Dier and his attorneys
to go to Chicago to try and get together
some more money for the creditors.
