Phar Lap, Dead Race Horse, Wash t Insured
ALL GR|EVED
BY LOSS Of
TURFSTAR

MENLO PARK, Calf, April 6.
David j. Davis, who bought Phar
Lap as a yearling for $500, and
who valued him at between $780,
900 and $500,000, was in Los
Angeles when he learned of the
death of Phar Lap. Recovering
from the shock, Davis sped to
San Francisco by airplane.
Mrs. Davis hurried here from
her home in San Francisco. She
met Tommy Woodcock, Phar
Laps trainer, and Jockey Billy
Elliott, who rode Phar Lap to
victory two weeks ago in the
famous $4,000 Aqua Caliente
Handicap-perhaps Phar Laps
greatest riumph. All three frank
ly gave way to tears.
Trainer Stays To Last
Woodcock, who also came from
Australia with Phar Lap, was
almost inconsolable in his grief.
He had stayed beside the ailing
horse during the nine hours that
DR.. Nielsen resorted to heroic
methods in an attempt to save
the animals life. He refused 20
leave the stall after Phar Lap
was pronounced dead. Eventually
he was led away, sobbing, by
stable attendants.
"He was the greatest gentle
man 1 ever knew" WOOdcOck
said in tribute to the big horse.
"He was q thoroughbred if there
ever was one. He must have
been in agony. Yet not a
whimper did he let out. He was
a great horse. Thereu never be
another like him."
Despite Phar Laps great value,
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis carried no in
surance on him.
Wasn't Insured
1--WE never considered the
commercial aspects of Phar
Lap" Mrs. Davis explained.
with us the sporting phase
was everything. That's why
he wasn't insured"
Phar Lap was at Menlo Park
awaiting a special race at Tan
foran, north of here, prior to
going East for series of inter
national races.
Death took Phar Lap two weeks
after his greatest triumph-his
victory at Aqua Caliente, where
he won in the record time of
2:04 As, clipping second off the
mark established by Mike Hall
last year.
Greatest in Australia
Phar Lap was the greatest
racer in Australian history. He
was the second greatest money
horse in the annals of the turf.
His winnings totaled $329,745.
Had he lived a few months
longer he would easily have top
ped the money record of Sun

racing history.

Of bidding, he had passed. The bid
Of two diamonds clearly marks his
hand: he is we'll satisfied to play
the hand at hearts; his diamond
iuit is not especially strong, and he
tloes not have normal support i'll
either clubs or spades.
Furthermore. his bid of two dia-
monds will allow Karin to select the
suit at which he desires to play
the hand.
Karn decided that even though
his club suit was six long, the honorS
in spades were worth the try, so
instead of bidding three clubs, he
decided to play the hand at two
spades.
You will notice that, with this
powerhouse hand, he made no at
tempt to force the bidding, but
signed the hand off with a spade
rebid, This became the final con-
tract.
Vests opening lead was the king
of hearts. He then switched TO a
small spade. Now, how would you
play the hand if you were the de-
clarer? Karn made three odd at
spades.
Next I will give you another of
the hands played in the national
tournament, and will explain how
Karn made three odd with this
hand.

American Bridge League, and these
laws provide for a Hotpoint prem
ilrm for making a less-than-gam
contract.
This generally is termed by the
players themselves the Hotpoint

This Hotpoint premium livens up
the bidding, draws both sides into
the bidding, and adds a great deal
of color to the game.
The new duplicate laws will not
become official until Feb. /, 1888.
In the meantime, the American
Bridge League invites the Sugges-
tions and comments of the bridge
players of the country especially on
this feature.
1t has seemed in the past that
the only real thrill in contract was
in making a game or slam, but now
it will be just as interesting to play

ample, here is hand which helped

that famous pair, P H. (HaD Sims

The Bidding
Karn in the South opened the

the proper bid.
West overcalled with one heart.
North passed. East passed, and now
Karn, in the South, bid one spade.

Il pies. but those are enough to
show why the Technocrats believe
we will have plenty of time to go
fishing while robots do our work.
1t should be reiterated, too, that
those statements are sponsored only
by some of the TechnocratS, and
that every one of them has been
contradicted Indignantly by one or
more prominent industrial authori-
ties
Of the many inaccuracies that
crop out in such prophecies, few if
any can be proved against Tech
nocracy as an organization, al
though they may be charged against
individual members.
The reason is that Technocracy
is too sketchily defined, too loosely
organized. incidentally, it is not
even incorporated.
AS deflned by those members
who are of unquestioned standing
in the scientific world. Technoc-
racy is nothing more than a survey
of the vital aspects of our national
life.
They say it is not their fault if
its social implications happen to
run parallel with Marxism Except
that Technocracy minimizes the
value of labor and Marx glorified
it,.
Technocracy even admits the
possibility of being adopted or abb
Quoted, by some political party.
The trend already is in evidence.

held in several cities. And the

is what it sees:
1. The possibility Of national
breakdown within eighteen months.
More likely, however, a desperate
initiation, another boom of short
duration, and another depression
that, following the pattern of in
creasing oscillation, will carry us to
absolute zero.
2. Capitalism rendered impotent
by bankruptcy. Technocracy does
not contemplate seizure of govern
ment, or even winning control Of
the polls. 1t believes that other
factions will acknowledge defeat and
will invite science to lead the way
out. You must have confession

A..K'.QK
a DAY.
BY BRUCE CATION

TINE world was young and clean
Il wind blew across the open
west. Out of Illinois came a young
booster, breezy and open-handed;
and the girl in the New Hampshire
textile town had seen him only
twice before she screwed up the
nerve to ask him to elope with her
and rescue her from her tyrannical
father.
You'll find the details of this
story in The Bright Land" by
Janet Aver Fairbank; and you'll
find in the novel a romantic and
rather wistful picture of the Amer
lea of a century ago, when New
England and the middleweSt we're
so sharply contraSted that they
might have been on different
planets.
This textile town girl is the CEN
trail figure of the novel. In the be-
ginning, Mrs. Fairbank tells us in
detail what New England was like
in its quaint period.
Father ruled the roost then. A
girl never could forget that she was
a lady, and an ardent swain could
write his sweetheart that he hoped
she would curb her tendency to
levity" before she became his wife.
Then the scene changes. We get
this elopement-a truly delightful
episode-and our prim little New
Highlander finds herself mistress of
a frontier mansion on the MiSSis-
Sippi, growing up with a raw new
land.
She adjusts herself, she raises
a family and contributes q husband
and two sons to the Civil war: and
in the end she is very old lady
and her frontier town has become
another backwater, with the tide of
life flowing on beyond it TO the
far west.
The Bright Land" is published
by the Houghton- Mifflin Co. and
sells for $3.50.

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-Although
~ Technocracy avowedly is a
fact-fnding organization, concerned
with collecting purely scientific data
on our machine age, it does not
object to laying aside its slide rule
and blue-prints occasionally, to APP
pear in the role of prophet.
1t dares to forecast an imminent
day when everybody will have a
job, but when nobody will work
more than sixteen hours week;
when everybody will enjoy a stand
ard Of living ten times higher than
our present average and when no
one will be in debt
It is the penchant for prophecy
that has made Technocracy, within
a few weeks, a subject for wide
spread discussion.
The truth is, that Technocracy
is little more than an attempt to
justify preconceived vision of
Utopia. It's basic principles were
defined before the discovery of the
industrial trends which it now con-
siders most significant.
Even its name was coined before
Howard Scott, its present leader,
had begun to emerge from obscurity.
Technocracy really began in the
mind of the late Thorstein Veblen,
famed radical economist, in 1919.
For it was he who first dreamed of
nation controlled by engineers.
In his book called The Engineers
and the Price System, he suggested
that technicians, instead of poll
ticians should lead labor in the
overthrow of capitalism and the
Selling Of industrial control.
NEBLEN stood on his laurels as
' a thinker, and claimed no
scientific confederation when he
wrote: If the country's productive
industry were organized as
systematic whole and then managed
by competent technicianS, with an
eye single to maximum production
OF goods and services; instead of
as now being manhandled by ignor-
ant business men with an eye sin
gle to maximum profits, the result
ing output of goods and services
doubtless would exceed the current
output by several hundred per cent"
That is the whole gist and sub
stance of Technocracy. The move
ment today represents a thirteen
year-old effort to substantiaate Web
lens idea.
Scott was a disciple of Veblen in
those early days. But while the
revolutionary economist openly
castigated capitalism and built
Communistic theories, Scott began
to translate some of those prin-
ciples into carefully yelled pseudo
scientific terms.
Capitalism" for instance, is
known by Technocracy as the
price system" and there are many
other evidences of word juggling to
avoid impressions of radical political
thought
One Technocrat frankly told this
reporter that the group has gone
to considerable lengths to diSavoW
all political sympathies and to trade
deliberately upon the public faith
that has been vested in the name of
science.

TINE price system" is the special
Il object of the Technocrats'
scorn, because it is termed
unscientific. Industrially, they point
out, we already have been COM
pletely revolutionized.
Yet our distributing methods of
sale and resale, with profits
scattered along the line, remain I'M
changed. Scott repeatedly refers to
our economic system as pathology
of debt" Money values are de-
termined by intensity Of human de-
sire and, therefore, by the relative
scarcity Of commodities.
But, Scott says, an economy of
scarcity has no logical place in the
midst Of plenty. By plenty he
means natural resources, power and
productive skill.
The true measure of value, Tech
nocrats insist, is energy. 1t does
not fuctuate as to gold, and silver.
Also, unlike gold and silver, it is
real factor in the creation of every
thing we use.

PRELATE HITS WHITE CHRIS.
TIANS HYPOCRISY
Especial to Herald)

New York, Oct. 25.-The big news
in the daily press of last Monday
morning was the action of Bishop
William T. Manning who defied white
churchmen of the All Souls Protes-
tant Episcopal Church of this city
opened locked church and preached
the gospel to a crowded church of
whites and blacks. The church had
been closed by the white vestry men
of the church in an attempt to make
the rector the Rev. Rollin Dodd hold
separate services for his colored pa
rishioners. This the Rev. Dodd re-
fused to do. The vestrymen requested
his resignation and he appealed to
Bishop Manning who thus far has up
held the minister who refuses to make
mockery of the Christian ministry
by acceding to the wishes of his race
prejudiced "Christian" churchmen.
Arthur Brisbane, Hearst column
list, commenting on the ruction in his
To-day" in various papers, including
the Minneapolis Tribune, said:
Another piece of news will inter
est those that write the history of
the Christian church. The fashion
able All Souls Episcopal church in
New York was padlocked because its
rector insisted on allowing Negroes
TO come in and hear him preach. The
respectable vestry demanded separate
services for blacks and whites, and

Episcopal church in New York, much
to his credit, ordered the locks brok-
en-. entered with 200 colored people
following him, and preached.
All Souls seems to be the WRONG
name for that church, since it would
refuse religious teaching to souls
that happen to be locked up in black
skins. The name of the church
should be changed to Some Souls, :"

Football Victory
MAROONS OUTLAY WHITE
ELEVEN TO WIN, 1910

St. Thomas goal remains uncrossed
in two games. The Maroon eleven
can well be, proud of the fact that
their goal. line remains untouched in
their last two games.
William Small was minority in
jured early in the game and did not
play in his usual form but that did
not lower the spirit of the team and
with the work of Don Underwood,
William Small, Al Mcclure, Louis Ma
son and Andrew Clark in the back
field the Maroon and Gray team was
off to many long gains.
35th Street Threatens
On the kickoff st. Thomas took
the ball into 18Th Street territory.
When it seemed that the Maroon
team was on its way to touchdown
a 35th Street player intercepted a
pass, intended for Don Session, and
had raced to the Maroon twenty yard
line before he was finally downed
under score of st. Thomas tacklers.
st. Thomas Scores Twice!
Early in the second quarter Jesse
Stevens shot long pass to Don Ses-
sion who eluded two tacklers and
scored. The try for the extra point,
a pass, was no good. Score, ST..
Thomas IL; 35th Street, 0.
The next score came off of a high
punt which the 35th Street quarter
back attempted to take behind his
goal line and in his attempt to escape
tacklers fumbled the ball and Don
Session recovered for a second touch
down. The try for the extra point,
place kick, was missed by Small
by inches. Score, st. Thomas II;
35th Street 0.
35th Street Threatens Again!
On the kickoff a 18th Street player
got in the clear and would have made
touchdown had it not been for one
Maroon tackler, Dick Session, who
brought him down on the twenty-five
yard line just as the half ended.

The second half ended with no fur
ther scoring or threatening from
either team. The game was played
at Nicollet Field Wednesday, Oct. 10.
