FORAKER ADVISED THE DELAY
SAN FRANCISCO, May 13.-ln
Rnef trial today, the time was occu
pied in. the cross-examination of
Daniel G. Coleman by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Heney. Heney at
tempted to have Coleman testify the
same as he had before the grand jury
relative to the Parkside bribery deal,
at which time he declared, according
to the stenographic report of the pro
ceedings, that he talked with Ruef
about the Parkside matter and de
manded the payment of the promised
bribes. In testifying today, Coleman
said he could not remember having
conversed with the defendant
"I went to Ruef," he said, "to stir
htm up, so we could get the money."
"Didn't you know that the only rea
son you went to Ruef was to get the
money?" asked Heney. ,
Coleman explained again that he
-ranted to get his $1000.
Coleman ,in answer to Ach, con
Teyed 'an impression that the Super
nsors initiated graft jobs and sent
Gallagher out to ascertain how much
they could get.
"Haven't you changed your grand
jury testimony in favor of Ruef?"
Ach made strenuous efforts to shut
out His testimony, but did not sue
ceed.
"My grand jury testimony was ex
planatory," said Coleman.
The witness admitted he had talked
with Ruef regarding the $1000 offer
ia tin- second Parkside franchise ind
that Ruef told him the matter was
being held in abeyance because of the
agitation that was going on in 1906.
v Assistant District Attorney Heney
announced' in court during the Ruef
tral today that the prosecution would
conclude its testimony tomorrow
night. Whether the defense will put
n witnesses or not is not known.
Attorneys Ach and Murphy declined
to make a statement on this matter.
It is probable that the tend of he
taking of testimony will come on

ment of gold to Europe, which began

FESTIVAL OF THE FRIARS.
NEW YORK, May 13.-The first
annual festival of the Friars, an or
ganization of theatrical press agents,
will be held at the New York Theater
i . e. m a
tomorrow aiternoon. me mil pre
pared includes the names of a score
of people well known on the dra
matic and vaudeville stage. The
friars recently opened elaborately fit
ted club rooms in 45th Street.
NEW YORK, May 13 With prom
ise of fair weather, society, race track
followers am! all those who love
blooded horses in contest, have but
one point of interest today, the Bel
mont Park, where the West Chester
Racing Association's Spring Meeting
opens this afternoon with the Metro
politan Handicap, the first of the
real big races of the season on the
card. "Metropolitan Day" marks
the beginning of "real racing" in New
ork, and although there have been
meetings at other tracks,, Belmont
Park really has the honor of opening
the season.
Belmont Park is known ns the
most magnificent race course in the
world and for weeks gardeners have
been at work mowing and rolling the
lawns and filling the great flower beds
which do much to add to the beauty
of the settling is which horses carry-
ng the colors of the famous horse
owners in the country will do battle
for supremacy in the 15th contest for
he Manhattan cup.
From early indications that fully
3000 persons will be at the track when
the bugle calls the horses to paddock
for the big event of the day.
Today's great race will be the 17th
struggle for the classic. Its history
is filled with notable performances,
but it is doubtful if at the close f
the contest this afternoon there will
seen a more bitterly foueht race.
The elements are there and only bad
luck can prevent the best horses from
achieving new records. The fastest
mile as yet made in the race since it
was run at Belmont Park was when
Grapple beat a big field in 1 :39. This
was in 1906. In 1903 when the late
Wm. C. Whitney's Gunfire won
Morris Park the race was run
1:38 1-4.
No better field of horses has en
tered in several years. When Sysonby
finished a dead heat with race King
in 1905 the horses that came along in
the rear were not the eauals of those
that compete today. From Salvidere,
the Brighton Cup winner of last sea
son, down to the lightly weighted
Don Creole, that is considered by
Handicapper Vosburgh the slowest
horse in the race, there is not a thor
oughbred that has not come claims to
distinction as a racer.
It is rarely at this season of the
year that so many horses of high
ciass compete. But tne open spring
weather has been a great help in ad
vancing training and the local race
goers who have been longing for a
contest between the tipper ten will
have their wish granted.
There is said to be a chance that
Salvidere may not start and at the
last moment Mr. Keenc may scratch
Restigouche and pin his faith in
Superman.
BELMONT PARK, N. Y., May 13.
Metropolitan handicap: Jack At-
kin won, Restigouche second, Bon
Creole third; time, 1:38 3-5.
With the fine weather, society, and
all those who love blooded horses in
contest, had but one point of interest
today the Belmont Park where the
West Chester Racing Association's
Spring meeting opened this afternoon
with the Metropolitan handicap, the
first of the really big races of the
season on the card. "Metropolitan
Day" marks the beginning of "real
racing m New York, and although
there have been meetings at other
tracks, Belmont Park has the honor
of really opening the season.
