" TROTTING BOARD STICKS BY MURPHY . McDonald’s Protest on Result of Chicago Futurity Is Disallowed - New York, Dec. 8.—0Id and new scandals in the trotting world were aired at the Murray Hill Hotel yes- terday when the board of review of the National Trotting Association be- | Ban its semi-annual session. Before | the erring drivers and owners were | put on the grill two new members of | the board were elected. J. O. Win- ston of Richmond, Va., was chosen to succeed the late Samuel Walton of Falls Mills, Va., as the reprosentative | of the Southern district and Thomas | Griffith of Spokane, Wash., was elect- ” ed the successor of the late John C. Kirkpatrick of San Francisco as the Pacific district member. 1 Mr. Winston took part in the pro- sterday, the other members hoartl present being Horatio | N. Bain, Poughkeepsie; F. O. Beal, Bangor, Me.; Carlos M. de Garmen- dia, Tuscarora, Md.; A. P. Sanders, » Ottawa, Ohio: B. P. Johnston, Lexing- ton, Ky.; John C. Welty, Canton, Ohio. and W. H. Gocher, Hartford, Conn. A clash between the noted drivers Lon McDonald and Tommy Murphy proved the most interesting of the cases on the docket. Charges were brought by McDonald to the effect that Murphy violated the rules by starting two horses in the $10,000 yChicago Horseman's Futurity, for three-year-olds, at Columbus last September. and that one of these, the "bay filly Humfast, won $2,900, Wwhich under the provision that two horses could not start from the same stable properly belonged to McDon- ald, who finished next with Colorado Range. ~ Part of the testimony brought out by Berne A. Pyrke, counsel for Mec- Donald, was that after making the protest McDonald had received an of- fer of $200 to withdraw it. That it was explained. was to prevent the case going to trial, for Murphy had a good defense, which carried weight with the board. * The driver of Humfast said he had BUY NOW 'PAY WEEKLY Clothing of Quality at Prices That Please For Ladies: Suits and Coats of especially fine fabric, style and tailoring, at prices that mean real savings, and on terms to suit.

Sturges of New York for Humfast, which was contingent on the starting of the mare in the big race at Columbus, with Murphy as the driver. Around that time Murphy had another candidate for the Futuritvy in his stable in Bon- della, but at Svracuse this mare acted so0 badly that Murphy declared that he would never drive her again. After thwe Syracuse race Murphy vs he turned this mare over to John Tuck- er agent for J. O. Callery, the own- er of Bondella, and that after doing so felt he was free to race Humfast for Mr. Sturges. To bear out his statement Murphy proved that Tuck- er had actually entered Bondella for the Lexington meeting, and that as the Lexington entries closed on Sept- entber 15 Bondella was out of Mur- phy's stable two weeks before the race at Columbus. which took place on September 29. Tn the race at Columbus which caused all the trouble. Murphy got up behind Humfast, while N. McCarr drove Bondella. Humfast won one heat and was placed second in an- other, the second and third heats go- ing to Mary Putney, which won the rate. McDonald’s testimony includ. ed a statement in support of his con- tention that Humfast and Bondella were both in the same stable. This was to the effect that Bondella pulled out of the way of Humfast in the sec- ond heat and in doing so interfered with) Celorado Range, driven by Me- Donald. If McDonald could have proved to the satisfaction of the board that Humfast and Bondella were in the same stable the $2,900 won by Humfast would have passed to Me- Donald and the $800 won in the race by Colorado Range would have passed to an owner further down the list at the finish of the race. After hearing evi®ence, which took up the greater part of the day, the board dismissed the protest in the following ruling: “The appearances that seem to jus- tify the protest having been fully plained by Murphy the judges are pustained and the money is ordered paid as the horses finishes.” fFhat there is no status of limita- tions in regard to illegal transactions n the trotting game was proved by two very ancient cases that came up for adjudication. B. L. Roberts of Worcester, Mass., was suspended un- til the unlawful winnings of Carrie R., formerly Pauline Girl, 2:211-4, are returned. This mare won $32 five yvears ago at Brockton, Mass., but the majter came to thé knowledge of the board onlr a few months ago. Rob- erts sayvs that the mare came to him In payment of a debt but he will have to return the money won before he is placed in good standing. The next case went still further back into trotting history, Henry Hall of Millsboro. Del., being expelled for an offence that was committed eight veaRs ago. He started the horse Marendes Boy out of his class under the name of Clifford H.. 2:17 1-4, in a race at Maryland, and after this lapse f time some rival up and told Sec- retary Gocher about it, with the re- sultjthat both horse and driver were put outside the pale. Three more men were expelled for starting the pacer Lawton, 2:111-2. ut of his class and under the name of . A. M. at Brookline. Conn., and mherst, Mass.. in 1914. The horse ftands suspended until the illegal bvinnings are returned and in the eantime the trotting tracks will dis- bense with 8. R. Tavlor, C. E. Scran- on and George Wininger, all of Madi- on, Conn. Afother ringing case caused the ex- bulsfon of Albert Delay and William . Russell of Waterbury, Conn.. to- ther with the bay mare Edna T., 09 1-4, which raced out of her class season under the name of Lady 1 W t bt Sunshine at McAfee, N. Vernon, Pa.

PENN.-MAY NOT deducted out of ROW ON HUDSON Students Get Surprise When Pough- keepsie Is Left Off Crew Schedule Next Year. 8.—The biggest Philadelphia, Dec. surprise that Penn’s Athletic Associa- ion has sprung in years came after the last meeting of the present board ast night, when the crew schedule an- nounced and ratified for the coming year was minus the usual Poughkeep- sie race, For years the Red and Blue has sent three crews to Poughkeepsie to meet Columbia, Cornell, Syracuse and some of the Western eights, but this season promises to see the Red and Elue sweeps missing from the start- ing line when the shells line up for the big race of the year. It is just barely possible that Penn's to restore the date of the Poughkeep- sic regatta on the crew schedule, but since the schedule was ratified today it is thought that Penn will drop out ———————————————— KEEPS KIDNEYS ACTIVE WITH A GLASS OF SALTS Must flush your Kidneys occasionally if you cat meat regu- lar Noted authority tells what Backache and Bladder weakness. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known ‘authority. Meat forms vric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poi- sons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head- aches, liver trouble, nervousness, con- stipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder, disorders come from slug- gish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scald- ing, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your Kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them ‘to ac- tivity, also neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irrita- tion, thus bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can- not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoid- ing serious kidney complications. causes Athletic Association may later see fit | { of the rowing competition at Pough- keepsie until the athletic association gets on its feet financially and the crews warrant the expense of the costly trip up the Hudson. It is believed that the reason 'for leaving the date of the Poughkeepsie race out of this vear's schedule is due to the cut of at least $1,000 in this vear's crew appropriation, which even nece tated that the fall crew work be dispensed with. Another surprise came when it was announced that thetriangular race for the Child’s cup would be held this year on May 13 on the Schuylkill in- stead of on Lake Carnegie at Prince- ton, as in previous vears. The schedule contains only two other | reces, one with Yale at Philadelphia, on April 22, in which both the 'varsity and junior ’varsity will row, and one with the Middies at Annapolis, on May 6, when it is likely that the freshmen 1 go along in place of the junior 'varsity eight. NEARING ATTACKS WILSON’S MESSAGE Professor Says Portion of Address Admits Army for Is Protection of American Employes New Haven, Dec. 8.—“This is the most brutally frank admission that we have had from a public man that the army is to be used for the protec- n of employers,” said Professor Scott Nearing, Ph. D., of Toledo, O., in the Lampson Lyceum last night, in referring to a certain pascage in the president’s message dealing with the possibility of raising a citizen army of 400,000. There was a large audience which gave the professor the closest atten- tion, particularly his references to the message, which were several. There were two or three sentences in the mssage, Professor Nearing said, that were worth noticing. “For instance,” he said, “the presi- dent says he would raise a citizemr army of 400,000 men, and you ought particularly to note that, for you, as | college fellows,- will probably be in the game, and he says he hopes em- ployers will let their employes off, The president adds: ‘I, for one, do not MUSCULAR BACKAGHE The muscles of the back do the heavy work of the body. When they are over- worked or ill nourished they” ache and people who are looking for trouble begin to worry about their kidneys. Backache may be due to lumbago, which is rheumatism of the muscles of the back, but more backaches are caused by overstrain, overwork and muscle | starvation due to thin blood than by any- thing else. Dr. Williame’ Pink Pills build up the blood and sufferers from backache would do well to try this treatment before giv- ing way to worry over a fancied organic disease. Rest and the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills will cor rect most forms of backache, even rheus matic.

Well, I suppose it will be for the protection of you and vour fathers; in other words the army would be needless un- less it is for the protection of prop- erty. It is a party to the game.” Professor Nearing, in answering auestions, made some reference to the yreparedness discussion. pointing out that it was all worked up by capital- | istic interests. It was a curious fact, | he pointed out, that the loudest advo- cates of preparedness were close to Eethlehem, Pa., and Wilmington, Del. He asserted that there was very little enthusiasm about preparedness in the middle west. “NEW fiAVEN” INQUIRY BY BAY STATE BEGUN Probe Imto Financial Condition Of toad With Reference to Harmon- izing Conflict of Authority. Boston, Mass.,, Dec. 8.—A general inquiry ordered by the state ture into the financial condition of the New York. New Haven & Hartford railroad with special reference to har- | monizing, if possible, the conflict of authority exercised over the road by Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con- necticut, was begun before the pub- lic service commission yesterday. The object of the inquiry, as ex- plained by Chairman MacLeod of the what can and ought to be done to pring the “New Haven” system into with Massachusetts law: to safe- guard the future so that a departure from such laws would be dangerous and to learn how a sound and effective system of public regulation may best be administered for the road. Chair- man MacLeod declared the company had apparently made unauthorized in- Vestments, had assumed unauthorized liabilities and had acquired real es- tate and other property not used for railroad purposes without proper au- thority. President Howard Elliott of the railroad asserted that it wag for the interests of the “New Haven” that it should be allowed to continue fts whole, or partial ownership in the Central New England, the New York, Ontario & Western, the New York, Westchester & Boston. the Millbrook Company, the New York Connecting Railway, the Rutland, a number of small branch lines. It was his opinion that the ‘New Haven” should assume the assets and liabilities of New England Navigation Company, but he was not sure that the Massachusetts laws would permit such action. President Elliott also expressed the belief that federal valuation of the “New Haven's” properties would show values in excess of those now listed in its books. “A railroad should have a right to get a return upon its increasing value in cities, even if it has to increase its rates,” he said. “I do not think the original investment has anything to do with what we should do today. We should be entitled to a fair return, even if it gave up 25 per cent. on an original investment.” Chairman MacLeod replied that the public service commission could not recognize or consider any such theory in dealing with the inquiry.

Would Have, Acre Tract Called Andrews Park | At the meeting of the board of | public works last evening an offer was | received from the Bodwell Land com- pany to turn over to the city about an acre of land on Stanley street for a public park. The company had previously intended to cut a street through this tract but subsequently decided that as a park it would | more enhance the appearance of this section of the city and therefore de- cided to make the gift, subject to re- : strictions. The restrictions are that it shall be called Andrews park and that the city shall plough up the land and seed it down to grass as well as construct a coping around it. The small pond is not to be filled in either, although the last recommendation is merely In the form of a suggestion and not a restriction. The board of public works decided to have Corporation Counsel J. E. Cooper draw up pa- pers that will provide no other re- strictions than that the plot be used for suitable park purposes. Hearings Are Held. A hearing was given on the pro- posed fifteen foot building line on Henry street. Fred Bollerer and Adolph Heine favored this but A. Westman, who has 165 foot frontage, prefered a ten foot line and asked for damages. C. J. Hellberg, M. Falk, D. Gilmore. C. Anderson, E. D. Apperly were also in favor. Engineer Hall said the property owners at the corner of the street favor a ten-foot line, but Henry and Mary Eggert pre- ferred a fifteen foot line. Another hearing last night was on a building line on both sides of Tal- cott street, westerly. Tt was pro- posed to have a five-foot line on the east side along the Farrell prop- erty and twenty-five feet the rest of the way. Any building line is op- posed by William Farrell. At another hearing Mrs. Bridget Williams said she did not object to the proposed Clark street grade from the old Noble land north to Lasalle street. However. she does not care to pay for any improvement. Thomas Kiernan and Mary Doherty favored the grade and Ann Lynch and August Heisler opposed it. Action Ts Taken. After the property owners had been excused the board voted to adopt a fifteen foot building line on Henry street. On Talcott street it was de- cided to have a six foot line in front of the Hennessey property, a five foot line in front of Farrell's land and a twenty-five foot line elsewhere. It was voted to permit Frank Monkie- wiecz to connect his Booth street prop- erty with the Broad street sewer. The board of compensation will fix the price. Upon the giving of the usual bond, a water main was recommended in Alden street. It was also recom- mended to permit the Stanley Works to connect with the sewer in Curtis street. George Schenck’s petition for a light in Bond street was granted. A request for a light in Dudley street was referred to the engineer. No ac- tion was taken except to give the pe- titloner leave to withdraw in the pe- tition of A. Wessoleck to remove a hydrant from in front of his property. A hearing will be granted on a building line on Columbia street be- tween Arch and Griswold streets. An- other hearing will be given on peti- tions for sewer and water mains in ‘Whitman streets. The petition to curb and macadam Linden street from East to Chapman was laid over until the estimates are considered. Under the supervision of the city electrician, the Connecticut company will be permitted to string wires for a private telephone system for their new car line, Subject to approval it was granted to permit erection of a Christmas arch in front of the twen- ty-five cent store. It was also decid- ed to permit Winthrop street proper- ty owners to connect with the Vance street sewer and the board of com- pensation will fix the price. An ex- tension of the Corbin avenue sewer was also recommended, as was the ac- ceptance of Booth street, Lyman street, from the east line of Silver to Booth, and Smith street, from Broad to Booth. Hearings on sewers in these streets were ordered as soon as they are accepted. Regarding Main Street. President Humphrey informed the commission that Engineer Hall has written to Warren Brothers concern- ing the Main street paving, the con- tract for which expires on the elev- enth of this month, asking that the guarantee be extended without addi- tional cost. The request was denied but the company has offered to keep the paving in repair for two years more at a cost of three cents a square vard, a concession which would equal that of an original seven yvears guar- antee. This will mean a cost of $1,600 the engineer. After some discussion on the matter it was suggested that the city but its own asphalt plant and do its own repairing. ‘This would cost anywhere from $3,000 to $15,000 according to the size and quality of | Eventually (‘,nmnll!flh)nt‘r‘ tract as offered y the company was Discussion on New Lights, | The suggestion regarding the changing of the present lighting sys tem in the center to one similar to ;g that on Church and Chapel streeis in | w Haven was discussed.
