JEWS CHARGE FAKE
 KOSHER MEAT SOLD

CHICAGO, Jan. 26. - Charging that unscrupulous meat dealers of this city have been and are taking advantage of rites of the Jewish faith for profits fraudulently obtained, Jews of this city have risen up and demanded that the offenders be punished. The charge made is that butchers of the city are selling as kosher meat products which have not been prepared in accordance with Jewish dietary laws. By charg- ing kosher rates, which average two to five cents higher than those paid for meats prepared in accordance with the Federal laws, dealers are enabled to reap rich harvest at the expense of the unsuspecting Jew, it is charged.
 A committee consisting of leading lawmen and rabbis of Chicago is now conducting searching Investigation of the charges. Laws have been asked making it a penal Offense to sell meats Thus far no official action has { been taken.
 A law similar to that adopted in New York three years ago is sought. Draft of a law of that character is being prepared by a prominent Chi cago Hebrew.

PROPHESIED DEATH
 OF JOCKEY OCCURS

PARIS, Jan. 26. - At the Auteuil race track, on the last day of the winter reunion, you will ride your last race, You'll fall at the last ob- stacle and that fall will be fatal!" This was the prophecy of Simone Dupont, aged nurse at the Bon Dieu Hospital, when, eleven years ago, she read the palm of Jockey Charles Hawkins.
 A leg, two ribs, both arms broken and severe cut in the head were the result of fall while riding a horse named Percy over the steeple- chase course at Saint Ouen. Hawkins was first jockey for the wealthy distiller of Three Star Brandy, Depu- ty James Hennessey, to whom Hawk. ins confided his fear that the old nurses palm reading would come true.
 When able to again get in the saddle Hawkins went to England, where in a flat race he was pushed over the rail. The horse was instant ly killed and Hawkins badly injured. After a long confinement in hospital he returned to France, where he mar ried daughter of Trainer John Batchelor.
 Two years ago a brother-in-law William Escott, was killed when he fell at the last jump at Auteuil Hawkins told his friends that un- doubtedly the old nurse had made a mistake and got his future mixed with that of his unfortunate brother in-law
 Shortly after he was seen in the saddle at Auteuil where for two sea sons he had carried Mrs. Hen nessy's colors to many important victories.
 The winter racing season in Paris closed recently at Auteuil. In the feature steeplechase, the PriX Du- uuesne, Chella, with Hawkins up, started odds-on favorite. At the turn into the homestretch Chella was seV- ereal lengths behind the leaders, and packers believed that they had over estimated the colts ability, when Hawkins, with his usual courage and energy, brought his mount to the fore with an irresistible rush and was winning going away when at the last hurdle Chella fell.
 Charles Hawkins, excellent jockey, splendid fellow, was instantly killed
 "At Auteuil on the last day Of the winter reunion he rode his last race. He fell at the last obstacle and that fall was fatal!"
