ring operated in only one race a
day. With several riders all try
ing their best to let one selected
member of their group drive his
mount home in front, it was al
most impossible to detect the
sWindle.
Then the gamblers, and the
jockeys, too, became avaricious.
They tried boating" two races a
day. Later they tried three, or
even four. The jockeys, becoming
dissatisfied with the amounts bet
for them, began to make private
arrangements" to have additional
bets made for them. Whispers
began to be heard The whispers
became open talk.
Caught Getting "Pay-Off"
Eventually one of the jockeys
was caught red-handed getting a
pay-off, after a particularly fla
grant race, by track detectives. He
confessed. But it was his word
against the word of all the others.
There wasn't proof to warrant the
public announcement and ruling
off of the track for life that marks
an open and shut case. Six
jockeys were refused subsequent
licenses, however, not only in Ken
lucky, but in other States. They
became touts, operators Of "tip"
services, and finally dropped COM
pletely from sight.
In 1927 quartette Of race
track crooks were discovered
working at Empire City. Track
officials acted promptly, notified
them to accept no more mounts
at that meeting. They went to
other tracks. But there was no
public scandal.
Again, in 1928, four jockeys,
one of them one of the best
known on the American turf,
were suspected of riding crooked
races. There wasn't enough proof
to cause an arrest, but the four
were quietly told to leave-and
did.
Even Called Fall
One of the most open and noto-
rious cases ever brought to light
in New York had to do with a
steeplechase in which professional
gamblers cleaned up a fortune.

year-old girl looks forward to normal
diet and relief from pain for the first
time in two years, for surgeons at Geor-

sort of instrument called the bi-plane

from her esophagus.
A couple of years ago Gladys Hand
Of Hef1in, Ala, accidentally swallowed
the bobbin. Numerous doctors tried in
vain to remove it.
Seven months ago structures caused
the esophagus to close and the child
has lived since then on food taken
through tube to her stomach.

They hurried their daughter to At
lanta and she was the first to be
treated by the new instrument.
Previous operations had failed because
ordinary Horoscopes would not show
horizontal and lateral positions of the
bobbin simultaneously. The bi-plane
Horoscope showed both positions and
thereby the surgeons were able to cut
away tissues grown around the bobbin
and remove it through the abdomen.
She is recovering rapidly and doc
tors say she will be able to eat nor

TRACES ARE FOUND
OF ANCIENT CITY
American Woman Scientist
Makes Discovery in
0axaca, Mexico.

OAXACA, Mexico R-A brief In
vestigation by an American woman
scientist, Emma Reh. has revealed that
another rich storehouse OF archeologi-
cal relics remains to be explored at the
ancient Indian city Of Teposcoulula. 2
miles from this modern Southern Mexi-
can capital.
The ancient city was built on
leveled-of hilltop commanding great
valley. 1t was hemmed in by massive
walls, now crumbling to ruins and over
run with vegetation. The square In the
center of the city, believed by scientists
to have been the scene Of Indian cere-
monies before the coming Of the Span
iards, now is used by the native inhabi-
tantS for the raising Of crops.
Each Spring while tilling the ground,
the investigation disclosed, the plows
turn up pottery in white, red, black and
orange, sometimes embelnShed with in
tricate floral designs.
In one corner of the square, which
measures about two city blocks square,
is row of roomlike structures. These
are now roohess and filed with under
growth and rubbish. Indian guides
seemed reluctant to enter the rooms,
explaining that the structure which
they described as cellars" contained
buried treasures from the Church"
The structure known as the church"
is situated behind small plot of
ground in which it is said that the plows
of the farmers turn up skeletons, indi-
eating it is an ancient burial ground.
Numerous legends and superstitions
are related by the Indians who live
nearby.
One is that bell In the church"
rings each June "a and that q mass is
said without persons being seen there
abouts.
Another concerns q small stream
which flows along the foot Of the hill.
Under no circumstances, the supersti-
tious say. shall man on a horse carry
woman over the stream. One man
attempted to do SO, it is recounted, but
when in midstream looked back to find
that instead Of woman riding behind

RIVER FLEET GIVEN UP
BY CARNEGIE COMPANY
Steel Shipping From Pittsburgh to
South to Be Contracted as
Economy Move.

PITTSBURGH, February 4 P.-
Carnegie Steel Co. has virtually with
drawn from operation Of It's river feet,
which for years has carried many of
the company's products to Southern
Cities. Economy is given as the reason.
Carnegie's shipping line, which origi-
nally consisted OF IA toWboats and ap-
proximately 400 steel barges, has leased
much of its river craft to independent
river transportation lines. It is under
stood that the bulk of the remaining
equipment also may be leased soon.
At the companys Offices it was said
that no definite future policy on oper-
alton of the river feet has been de-
cided upon.
The Sun-Telegraph says in connection
with the leasing of the equipment that
sit is believed in steel circles that de-
sire to help the railroads out Of their
present difficulties may have been an
important factor"
THE railroads are among the largest
customers of the steel companies, and
this probably was a further factor IN
influencing Carnegie Steel to reduce the
competition of its river transportation
with the steam lines" says the Sum-
Telegraph.
