Handicap, Starting at Com- parative Long Odds. NEW YORK, May 14.—Ten thousand race| goers saw Fashion Plate, a 4-year-old chesnuit volt entered by the Onack stable, win the Metropolitan handicap at Belmont park yesterday in the fastest time in the history of the event. The colt, quoted at the comperatively long | odds of 6 to 1, covered the mile in 1:374. Prince Imperfal, entered by the Woodhaven stable and quoted at 10 to 1 for & place, was second. Jack Atkin, winier of the 18 Metropoli- tan finished third at odds of ¥ to 6 to| show. The crowd had its curliosity pleas- | antly gratified by a view at close range of August Belmont, sponsor of Belmont vark, in the role of a recent benedict and of the new Mrs. Eelmont—Eleanor Robson that was. Mr. Belmont was the center of attraction in the club house enclosure, James R. Keene's Maskette, S” R. Hil- dreth's King James and Restigouche, August Belmon's Priscillian and B. Shrel- ber's Jack Atkin, ail heavily backed, were each lovked upon as probable winners. Restigouche showed in front at the start and for nearly threé-quarters of the di tance set a heart-breaking pace with Jack Atkin and Prince Imperial close up. At the turn into the stretch the Hildreth horse tred and Fashion Plate, admirably ridden by McGee forged ahead. Jack Atkin lost several lengths by making & wide turn. The finish was a rattling one, with Fashion Plate a good length in front. Prince Imperial beat Jack Atkin for the place by three-fourths of a length.

Y., May 14.~One man killed and another painfully maimed and five more badly brulsed was the hospital record for the first twelve hours of the twenty-four-hour race held at the Brighton Beach motor- drome track last night and today. At the end of the tenth hour the Fiat o led, Wwith 497 miles to ita credit, and the Rainier % only one mile behind. The cars, with the Bulek vair in the lead, ran without a serious mishap untll mid- {night, thus aisappointing the auguries of those who criticived the starting the contest on Friday, the 13th. Eighteen minutes after midnight the | 1o0ked-for crash ecame. The Marlon car, driven by Hubert Anderson, lore through {the fence on the turn into the homestretch and turned turtle.

About three hours later the other Bulek car was disabled by the breaking of a crank shaft and it was towed Into the pad- dock by-the officlal car. ~ Strang Back on Track. Louls Strang, after an hour’s delay, had the Marion car going again and he made a good showing. In speeding around the turn Into the home stretch Strang had a miraculous escape from a spill, as he tore through the fence and came out (through the other angle of the barrier without a scrateh. The score for the tenth hour, 7 a. m., | was: Flat, 497 Stearns No. ton-Keeton, 4%5; Selden, 3 Houpt, 266. Half-Way Score. At the end of the twelfth hour the Sim- plex was leading with 598 miles, five miles ahead of the Flat, which was thirteen miles in front of the Rainler. The Stearns No. 1 was fourth, at 579 miles. The record was twenty-six miles behind the Buick's of last year. At 9:50 the Cole car ran through the fence on the corner leading into the home stretch.

The committee framed a number of rules de- signed to throw safeguards around this and other plays and adjourned sine die, having completed the task of “reforming” foot ball, which has kept It busy much of the time since the first of last February. The detalls of the new game was left in the hands of a sub-committee composed of Walter Camp of Yale, Dr. Carl Willlams. of the University ‘of Pennsylvania and Percy D. Haughton of Harvard, but as the new regulations are largely theoretical It 1s admitted that the precise results will not be known until the season of 1910 Is well under wa; Having weakened the offense by the new rules previously adopted, some method had to be invented to strengthen the offense a8 an offset and so great effort was ex- pended to form a plan fer retaining the forward pass. Without it, under new re- strictions, scoring would be so difficult that the game would be almost destroyed. Under the rules adopted today the pluyer making the pass must be a: least flve yards behind the scrimmage line when the pass is made and the player receiving the ball must not be more than twenty yards in advance of the place where the ball was passed. Only the end men of the line of scrimmage and the four men In the back field are eligible to receive the forward pase, and the backs in order to be eligible must be at least one yard behind the line of serithmage when the ball is put in play. The committee adopted a rule which reads: “In case a player with the ball crawls after the ball s declared dead his team shall be penalised five yards.” The committee adopted a provision that any player withdrawn from the game for eny cause except disqualification may re- turn once at the beginning of any subse- quent quarter. This is to allow & tired player to recuperate and to remove the temptation to keep players in the game when they are not In fit condition, se Ball at Wymore, May .—(Special)—A ague of three teams has been organized and efforts are belng made to secure another team.

The idea came to the fighter when one of the newspaper photographers saw the rig in front ot the training quarters and suggested he would like a plcture or so. Johnegon agreed to the picture idea and after all was over remarked that he would like to take a turn up the road. The routine of u twelve-mile grind along the roads in the forencon may be palling on Johnson, as he has changed his route. This morning he took Barney Furey with him over an entirely new course and one in which there are far more hills than in the old course. “For one thing, 1 wanted a change,” said Johnson, In explaining the new program, “‘and for another, I wanted to test my | wind thoroughiy.

HAMESTRING Billboards may be sometimes suggestive, but & board bill is the real thing. It will always be my belief that polyx- amy legalized is better business than polygamy not legalized. Some wise old guy has remarked that “In this world man must be either a ham- mer or an anvil”’ But how about the bel- lows and the hot alr? 1 often wonder why people become s0 en- thusiastic over giving money when (hey see for a fact that their names are to ap- pear in the papers. 1 sometimes think that reformers need reforming because they become so intem- perate and so zealous that they are incon- stent and do more hurm than good. The politiclan who announces himseit for officc, who feels that he has been called to play the Moses act certainly has a beau- titul nervous system. He has all the nerve you are looking for.

They say it is a commercial age—but that isn't it. A kid in knee breeches is put out to chase dimes and if he developes talent along that lne he goes after dollars. All the very rich have started as poor boys chasing dimes. The parents need adsist- ance and the boy only develops a talent When ing the dimes the nelghbors assist him and encourage him.

FIXES ALL RELATIVE CHARGES | Makes it Unlawful Pat Exce i Rate Short Trip—Senators Burkett and Brown Fa- T8 on vor WASHINGTON, May 4.—By a sudden | welding yesterday of supposedly Irrecon- | cllable factions, the senate by a vote of 5 to 10 adopted a compromise amendment | to the rallroad bill for the regulation of | relative charges for long and short haul. | The agreement was reached chiefly for the | reason that each faction apparently | thought it was getting the better of a | shrewdly driven bargain. Some senators tonight suggest that the supreme court may have to arbitrate the question as to which faction’s judgment is right. ! Before adjournment Senator Bacon sought to show that Senator Aldrich, leader of the forces in charge of the bili, had voted for a provision different from that which he had sdvocated during the long debate on this question. Senator Bafley remarked that Mr. Bacon was mistaken and was quoting from his (Balley's) remark. 1 “I hope the senator from Texas will not interfere,” said Mr. Aldrich laughingly, | “the senator is trying to justify his action in voting with me." ! ““That is the time I usuaily have to Justity my vote,” retorted Mr. Bacon. Senantor Elkins Hy e While upholding regular republicans for what he asserted was a change of front, Mr. Bacon was interrupted by Senator Elklns, whose ruddy face was wreathed with smiles as he asked: ““Well, you're happy, aren't you?' | This ralllery plamly irritated the Georgia | senator, for he retorted rather sharply that it took “a very little thing to make some people happ: “Maybe the senator will find that it s a big thing,” said Senator Elkins, beaming across the chamber. Significant glances passed between senators and the people on the floor and In the galleries began to sus- pect the compromise amendment that had just been adopted meant something dif- ferent than appeared upon its face. The New Section) As adopted the rew provision strikes out of section 4 of the interstate commerce law “‘under substantlally similar circum- stances and conditions,” and also eliminates the proviso of that section and amends the section so as to make It read as follows: “Section 4~That it shall be unlawful for any common carrier subject to the pro- vislons of this act to charge or receive any greater compensation in the aggregate for the transportation of passengers, or of like Kkind of property for a shorter than for & longer distance over the same line of route in the same direction, the shorter being in- cluded within the longer distance, or to charge any greater compensation as a through route than the aggregate of the local rates; but this shall not be construed as authorizing any common carrlers within the terms of this act to charge or recelve as great compensation for a shorter as for & longer distance: “Provided, however, that the Interstate Commerce commission may, from Its knowledge, or from information or upon application, ascertaln that the clreum- stances of the long haul are dissimilar to the circumstances and conditions of the short haul, whether they result from com- petition by water or rall; then it may au- thorize & common carrier to charge les for the longer than for the shorter dis- tance for the transportation of passengers | or property; but in no event shall the au- | thority be granted unless the commission | is satistied that all of the rates Involved | ity of the senate to their way of thinking, | are just and reasonable and not unjustly | discriminatory nor unduly preferential or prejudicial. Present Rates Unchanged. “And provided further, that no rates or charges lawfully existing at the time o the passage of this amendment amendatory act shall be required to be changed by reason of the provisions of this section prior to the expiration of six months afte: the passage of this act, wor in any case where application shall have been filed be- fore the commission in accordance with the provisions of this section until a determina- tion of such application by the commus- slon.” Of the fifty-six votes in favor of amendment twenly-two were glven by re- publican senators who have opposed the insertion of any long and short haul pro- vision In the railroad bill, thirteen by demo- erats and the remainder by |epub|1\'lus.‘ chiefly Insurgents.

MANGUM & COMPANY LETTER FACTORY 109 South 13th Street—Omaha Jones Kean La Follette Lodge Martin Nelson Crawford Nixon Cullom Oliver The negative vote was as follows: Bulkeley Gallinger Overland—10 Chamberiain Four O’clock Agreement. The senate proceeded today under a unan- Imous consent agreement reached yesterday to begin at 4 o'clock upon the long and short haul amendments, of which a dozen or more had been submitted. The pending amendment was one by Senator Heyburn of Idaho, for which Senator Dixon of Montana had made a substitute. The effect of this was to glve the Montana senator posses- sion of the floor when 4 o'clock arrived. For several day the ‘regular’ republi- cans had boasted that they had a clear majority to defeat all of the long and short haul amendments. The regulars had been assured of a num- ber of democratic votes. Just before 4 o'clock it came to the knowledge of Sena- tors Aldrich and Dlkins, that whiie the democrats on thelr list would vote against the Dixon amendment, they purposed later to support &n amendment Introduced by Senator Overman of North Carolina, the effect of which would be to place all rates on & mileage basis. Such & provision would be obnoxious to the opponents of & long and short haul provision and they were unable In a party poll to show a majority against the Overman amendment. Senators Carter of Montana and Smoot of Utah, supporters of a long and short haul provision, recelved overtures from the “regular” republicans who offered a com- promise in the form of a portion of the original Dixon amendment and a proviso taken from an amendment offered by Sen- ator Paynter.

Mr. Dixon ran from seat to seat, claim- Ing they had “brought the regulars into camp,” and that the coalition of republi- can and democratic supporters of the long and short haul clause would bring a vie- tory greater. than they had anticipated. Mr. 8moot whipped the compromise into shape, The hour of 4:30 came and found the work still incomplete. Mr. Dixon demanded an- other recess until 5 o'clock, but protests were made by so many senators that he obtained it only after a roll call which con- sumed nearly ten minutes of the precious half hour, The general conference of the recess hour resulted In the restoration of the words of The con- | the Dixon amendment, which he had agreed to eliminate. These provided that in mak- Ing exceptions under the long and ghort haul clause the Interstate Commerce com: mission shall satisty itself that all the rate involved are just and reasonable, Wrangle Ensu Mr. Dixon presented the compromise Senator Heyburn interposed a point of order that the new amendment was not in order under the unanimous consent agree- ment, which, he claimed, contemplated vote only upon matters pending at the time the agreement was made. This led to u wrangle, but Vice President Sherman fi nally overruled the point of order, and the vote was taken resulting In the adoption of the compromise amendment. After the vote several senators asserted that opponents of the long and short haul amendments had been compelled to accept d as revolutionary, Mr, openly taunted Mr. Aldrich with being willing to accept anything to preserve his prestige and prevent an appearance of defeat “I hope the senator has not forgotten, Interposed Mr. Alarich, “the adage that ‘he laughs best, who laughs last Mr. Bacon promptly Interpreted, confession that Mr. Aldrich was counting upon having the provision stricken out in conference. “I do not mean anything of the sort, 1 belleve the provision can be defended on the principles that 1 have been advocating,” replied the Rhode Island senator blandly Mr, Heyburn, who fought the amend- ment at every stage, closed by asserting that it had b a great day for the rail- roads.” “Thelr flag has been flying to the breeze by this coalition,” he declared, “They have Kot all they want, and no doubt there will be great rejolcing umong them when they hear what has been done.” Bacon this as e — More Ins have no means of knowing how the of MWaterloo, Neb,, regard the ordinance that threatens them with fine if they eat onlons during working hours It may be that there are tonsorial experis among them, who will savagely resent this Interference with their diet.
