Senator Bridges, Republican of
New Hampshire, declared last
night that a report he and two
other Republican leaders held a
secret meeting before the end of
the coal stoppage ''is a plain lie"
The report had come from Gael
Sullivan, executive director OF the
Democratic National Committee, in
speech Friday night before the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors here.
Mr.. Sullivan said that Senator
Bridges. House Speaker Martin and
Joseph N Pew, jr., Pennsylvania
Republican leader, met in WASH
ington hotel room April 9, and
made arrangement which resulted
in John L. Lewis ordering his
United Mine Workers back to the
pits.
This is a plain lie Senator
Bridges said in statement. "Ihere
was no such meeting. There was
never any discussion OF the coal
question with Mr.. Pew in any way,
shape or manner"
Mr.. Martin Friday night termed
MIR. Sullivans statement "a mall

Costa Rica Pact Near
with Reds Reported
Delaying Settlement
By the Associoted Press

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, April IL
A virtual agreement to end Costa
Rica's civil war and place Otilio
Ulate Blanco in the presidency, has
been reached and is awaiting final
approval, a reliable source said to-
day.
Representatives of the warning po-
litical factions and the diplomatic
committee which is negotiating a
peace settlement will meet at 10
am. tomorrow A negotiating ses-
sion scheduled for today was post
poned; no reasons were given.
(There were other reports that
the fighting might flare again. :
Dispatches received in New York
from Central American sources
said more than 500 wel-armed
Nicaraguans were being rushed
into Costa Rica to fight for the
government. These dispatches
said the Nicaraguans were being
sent to attack Puerto Limon,
which Is held by the Costa Rican
rebels.D
Under the terms of the proposed
settlement, Santos Leon Herrera
third vice president, would serve as
interim president until May g. AT
that time, Mr.. Ulate would take over
the presidency for which he was
elected in February.
Mr.. Ulate's election was nullifieo
by a lame duck Congress, which
supported charges of election fraud
brought by Rafael Calderon Guar
dia, defeated government candidate
the congressional action in setting
aside the election precipitated the
civil war.
Jose Figueres, rebel leader and
Ulate supporter, told the Associated
Press in a telephone interview from
Cartago that Communists were
blocking the settlement.
Reports to the rebel headquarters
in Cartago said the Communists
had taken over all schools, electric
installations, the telephone ex-
change and airport in San Jose,
and that looting by armed Com
munists and fighting in the prin-
cipal streets had been going on
since last night.

Old Union Engine House, Nine

In discussing Race Horses and
Race Courses in the District" Mr..
Proctor pointed out that, even
though he went to a couple of races,
he never bet because once he put
So on a sure thing" and lost. That
was on June 9, 1899, when James j.
Corbett beat Bob Fitzsimmons in II
rounds at Coney Island, N. Y.
THAT cured me-" Mr.. Proctor con-
ceded. He explained that, on the
basis of historical study, the first
track here was in 1896. IL ran from
what now is Seventeenth street to
Twentieth street NV, and from F
to I streets. The grandstand was
on F, between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth. In 1902, he said, a
syndicate also leased land between
Tenth and Sixteenth streets and
from Columbia road south "as much
as needed" for race track pur-
poses.
In 1903, Mr.. Proctor added, the
Senate went in for racing while the
official chamber underwent repairs

clared, because there wasn't any

$4,000 at Auction.
Land used for a track in existence
between 1859 and 1905 at Crystal
Springs, now known as Brightwood,
brought $4,000 when auctioned at
the time the track closed. This
was told by Harry Dowling, who did
the auctioning. He was present last
night. He also told of auctioning
of horses at the time the old Ben
ming track in the Northeast closed
in 1905. The animals brought about
5000. Near the end of Brightwood's
racing activities, there were mule
races there.
THE mules often wouldn't 60 the
right way" Mr.. Proctor explained,
in discussing some of these contests.
He spoke of other tracks in the
city, such as Ivy City, opened in
1870; one at Ninth street and Penn
sylvania avenue Sc, and one on
East Capitol street between Fourth
and Eleventh streets NE, used
mostly for trotting contests.
And there was track in Ana
costa near the present site Of St.
Elizabeths Hospital, where two Of
the Nations most famous horses,

Red Flannels for Horses.
In 1872. the speaker continued,
there was an epidemic among them
which was known as epizootic, de-
Scribed as a kind of cold, and of a
serious nature.
At that time everybody wore red
f1annels, and some people started
putting these colorful undergar-
ments around the necks of the
horses to protect them. Mr.. Proctor
said that, as child at that time,
he even put red flannels around
the neck of his hobby horse.
Drivers used to like to race their
horses along Florida avenue NV.
after it became macadamized in
the 1870s. A colored policeman
known as West" who was a former
jockey, liked to chase "speeders'
along this route. Mr.. Proctor de-
clared. Once this officer arrested
President Grant for speeding on a
horse, and when the offense was

man took the President to the old
No. q. station house, across from
where Grifflth Stadium now stands,
Mr.. Proctor recalled.

We have often wondered whether these gentlemen expect

This whole matter of accepting
