"I have taken the position that we
had no need for outside assistance be

- Keen indignation prevails among
the stockholders of the Multnomah
County Fair association . ovek what is
looked on as a reliable report to the
effect that the management has entered
into a contract to permit the syndicate
bonking ; system to be , employed at
Irvlngtnn during the coming meet It
is asserted that this plan was pursued
by the- directors of the King County
Fair association, 1 and has practically
ruined the reputation of Beattle .as a
racing center.
The syndicate plan is called by horse
men a "cinch system." the bookmakers
reckoning on from 40 to 60 per cent
profit By preventing competition In
making books at Seattle, owners of
horses found It Impossible to profit
anything, and the sport waa so nearly
killed that the management of the as
sociation had to throw the gates of the
track open to free attendance. It Is
aid that the meet, though scheduled
for six weeks, would have been closed
July 4 had not $11,000 been secured, by
the "bookies" nut of 921,000 passing
through their' hands. , '
Numerous Complaints are also made
Of pulling horses, and of unfair de
cisions. Many owners of blooded -animals
have left In disgust. It is said, and
others sre penniless and unahh to get

She la sergeant-major of tha local force

But the martial glamor of tha god of

played havoo with tha army corps and
has put to rout two of its bravest offi
cers, who-until they- met had never a

Twelve little girls will march at the

tbe ceremony and proceed through some
of the principal streets of the city. At

and sought shelter from its cruel stings
behind the great red banner. An ardent

work and thrift she baa supported her

she contributes generously - to 'the

Tha groom is alao a sacrificing soldier.
During the day he tolls In the city, while
at night he exhorts the people upon the
streets. Both have been stationed In this
city for many years and are two of the
most trusted and respected officers. She

sopus, M. X., July 80. Thomas Tar
rart. national chairman, made a hasty
visit to Eeopus last night, reaching Judge
Fafkar home at :25 and leaving" soon
after for his western borne.
He came in response to a telegram from
Judge Parker today,- because Judge Far
Iter wanted to hav another talk with
his manager before he rot out of the
state.
When Mr. Taggart got off th train at
Esopua Re waa met by reporters, to whom
he talked quite freely. There seemed
to be no reason to doubt this vrhen he
got Into the carriage that was to take
him to Roaemont.
On . returning to Eeopus station and
after Judge Parker had; left him. .he
would not be draw Into any sort of
conversation about the executive com
mittee or Its prospective officers,, other
than to say he had not yet decided
upon the membera who will constitute
that body.' Ha will announce their names
on Saturday of next week. Nor has he
decided npon xecutlve officers for th
committee in New York.
It may now be aald with eafety that
Judge Parker Is to be his own campaign
manager and that the chairman and his
aaalstanta will perform functions such
ss they will be directed to perform by
th nomine hlmeelf. From what took
place between Mr. Taggart and Judge
Parker tonight It would not be wrong to
guess that aome other than Sheehaa will
be named for chairman of tha executive
committee and that Bheehan wlU remain
at Eaopus all during the summer to ad
vise, with the national, candidate, thus
belnc relieved of office duties.
It may also be said that Jurlge Parker
at last haa decided he wouicrvnak Dut
three or four speeches from now until

v Reno, Nev July 10. Sheriff Hayes
and District Attorney Pike of Washoe
county now agree with th officer of
Churchill county that an organised sys
tem of murder and robbery has been In
progress along the line of the govern
ment work In this section of Nevada for
th past seven or eight months.

reat at Fallon for attempt to murder,

being placed agalnat his name Is the
fact that th authorities have thus fsr
been able to And only circumstantial

Several parties are now scouring the

The residents of the new town wher
he took up his horns now recall that he
always ; shrouded his movements with
mystery. He would disappear for hours.
and even at on time, it la aald, he waa
lost sight of for days before any . on
of th few residents of the town saw
him.
There ar only a few houses In the
town. . Several times settlers would ar
rive there on the train at night. They
would be met by Lawrence, who the
next day - would take them Into th
desert, apparently to show them loca
tions on government land. In Juattoe to
Lawrence, the people do not directly ac
cuse Mm of murdering any of these
people, for they never gav suoh a terri
ble possibility a thought
The contractors along tha government
canal have, now taken a hand in th
aearch for evidence and have offered a
reward of f 20s for information that will
lead to th arrest and conviction of th
party or parties who ar guilty of the
terrible crimes known to hav been com-
