THEN RESUMES HIS RIDE
v llv a Staff Corretvondent
DEVON. Pa.. Juno 2. Five-year-bld
Francis Okie, Jr., of Berwyn, bounced so
professionally In the saddle on his small
pony Betty that he went straight out o( th
saddle wlion Detty took a turn In the oval.
The pony's back Is so near the ground, how
ever, that tho small rider landed softly and
picked himself up. Ho was not hurt? and
resumed riding In tho saddle pony class.
Womin appeared In the oval as Judges for
the flrst time today. Two judges passed on
each class as one of the features of ladlen'
day. The oval presented a gay nppearance.
i Resides additional Hags, which draped tho
Judges' stand In the centre of the field, an
array of cups, dazzling In the bright sun
light, were grouped on b big table. The
cups nro tho awards In nil classes so far,
which will be given to tho winners this aft
ernoon. Ladles' Day and the last of the Horso
Show- opened here this morning under
cloudless skies. The day was easily the
blscost since tho show onened Tuesday.
There were horses of every kind showing
In 30 or more classes, but tho feature of
ladles' Day sat In tho grandstand or
strolled around outside tho oval under
parasols. Ladles, the best-known In Phila
delphia and Interested horsewomen from
most of the big cities In the country, were
hero today,
Tho band played louder than ever.
Every ono down to the attendants was
groomed up to a high degree and the spec
tacle offered was unrivaled. The weath
er man and his elements, which havo been
under satisfactory control for the last throo
days, outdid themselves today. A warm
un, unobscured by a slnglo cloud, but shin
ing through an atmosphore of unusual
clarity, picked out the stand and oval In
dazzling green and white.
CROWD COMES EAIILY.
As the day advanced tho sun shono
brighter, and tho stand and field begnn
to fill. Only horsemen and horsewomen
have been putting In an appearance early
during the flrst threo days, and during
the morning hours both stand and field
havo been virtually deserted; but today tho
crowd began arriving while tho first classes
were showing. Ono reason they were there
was to see the "ponies under saddle.," as
Class 137 Is ofllclally known. The sight
was one of the prettiest Been so far. Chil
dren, some of them hardly 10 years old,
cantered nround the oval on small Shot
lands, staying by their saddles with tho
' ussuranco of veteran hunters.
Children had their Inning at the show
this morning. There were three saddle
pony classes and two for harness ponies.
The Judges held to their custom of leaving
no child without a ribbon of some sort.
The rule of giving four prizes and no more
was abandoned. After tho first three
awards every child's pony was decorated
solemnly with a white ribbon. There were
no disappointments.
WOMEN SHOW HUNTERS.
Women's skill in hunting saddles was
shown during the morning In tho "Ladles'
Hunter" class. Twenty-nlno horses, ridden
by their owners, 'were put at the regular
four-foot Jumps. All were ridden side
saddle. Some of tho jumps made were
thrilling. L'Alglon Challenge Cup, valued
at (200 and one of the most elaborate
trophies awarded at the show here, was
competed for this afternoon. Three suc
cessive awards to the same owner are
necessary to obtain the permanent gift of
the cup. It was presented by J. O. Patton.
The contest is for the best ladles' saddle
horse. None as won 'ne CUP twice in the
Ave years since the trophy was presented.
Eleven horses are entered today.
The high Jump, beginning with the
barrier at f)ve teet and rising gradually to
six, afforded thrills this afternoon. The
vent Is one of the most dangerous of the
Bhow. Only four horses were entered.
There was a fourth military jumping con
test by officers In uniform this afternoon.

and men In the navy.
"What I am saying here I havo told Mr.
Daniels to his face and I know the price
I have paid for telling It," Mr. Reuterdahl
said. "An admiral, whose name I cannot
mention because of Mr, Daniels' latest
muzzling order, which prevents from talking
those who know most about the navy, has
written me a letter In which he has said:
" "Mr. Daniels has lost not only the
confidence but 'the respect of the men In
the navy. He has not been square, The
navy men know this, and they know, too,
that he has done the navy Incalculable
harm. "

An order to arrest nnd lock up auto
mobile speeders Instead of serving them
with summonses will bo Issued to tho pollco
next week by Director Wilson, who an
nounced today, niter a conference with
Superintendent of Pollco Robinson, that too
much leniency had been shown to lolntors
of the speed laws by magistrates.
Tho order, which will be sent to every
utatlon house. Is being drafted by Super
intendent Robinson, Captnin Wllllnm B.
Mills, head of the traffic squad, und William
C. Cooley, legal adviser for tho Department
of Public Safety.
Heretofore, violators of tho speed laws
havo been served with .summonses to ap
pear In the "Speeders' Court" at 10th and
Thompson streets a week or more after tho
offonso was committed. A recent investi
gation showed that out of moro than 1000
nrrcsts comparatively few offenders wore
fined. : . . "
"1 Intend to see that the speed laws nro
strictly obeyed!" raid Director Wilson, nftcr
leaving th6. pohferenco.
"It Is our plan to hnve policemen chase
tho violators on motorcycles and arrest
them. After making an arrest the violators
will bo taken to the nearest station house
and locked up the same as any other of
fender of the law."
"In thb event no ball Is furnished for tho
prisoner, he will be kept In his cell all rilght
and tho following morning win uu ur
ralgned before a magistrate. 1 believe an
order of this kind will do a great deal In
reducing the toll of deaths of children and
grown-up persons."

SCRANTON, Pa June 2. Control of
the management of the State Hospital for
the Criminal Insane nt Fair View, 30 miles
from hero, now vlrtunlly vested In Henry
F. Walton, of Philadelphia, friend of Sen
ator Penrose, Is soon to pass to local men
who wero closely Identified with tho Brum
baugh movement In tho recent primary.
P. W. Fleltz made this announcement
today following his return from Harris
burg, where he was In conference with
the Governor.
'The Governor Is going to make a change
In tho ery near future. He is going to
select men of capacity, who live close
enough to tho Institution to glvo It their
personal, constant attention, nnd who are
actuated only by a strong desire to serve
the Institution and the State and not by
motives of personal aggrandizement or
profit," Mr. Fleltz said. Ho ndded that
until now the hospital's affairs had been
directed from Philadelphia, where all sup
plies wero purchased and tho management
of tho Institution directed.
Walton, president, of the board, will. In
nil likelihood, be retained on the boardrbut
may lose tho chairmanship through tho
Governor's expected action In naming two
new men. one to fill the vacancy created
by the death of James Marsteller, of Al
lentown. Thero nro nine members on the board,
Senator W. M. Lynch and ex-Senator Wal
ter McNIchols, of this city, and H A.
Denny, Republican calrmnn of Susquehanna
County, are known as Brumbaugh men.
With the two new apolntees they would
control the board. Senator Sproul, of
Chester, and CaUIn, of Luzerne, are not to
be disturbed. Neither will Charles Dor
fllnger, of White Mlls, Wayne County. Al
fred Marvin, of Pike, former meber of the
Legislature, Is the other meber.
Mr. Fleltz said today that the Governor
Is going to name ex-Senator McNIchols as
a supervising factory Inspector at J2S00
per year,
"From now on applicants for patronage
from the administration must have two
requisites, according to the Governor," Mr.
Fleltz said. "First, they must show fitness
and capacity to discharge the duties of the
position they seek and, second, they must
prove that they were loyal to the Governor
In the recent primary."
"It was part of the Governor's campaign
to ascertain Just such facts," he added.
Mr, Fleltz said .Governor Brumbaugh's
name will Burely be presented to the Chicago
convention, either by Congressman Vare or
Emerson Collins, of Wtlllamsport.
OSSININO, N. Y., June '.'. Scarcely a
hundred yards from tho prison ontranco nt
Sing Sing, a pathetic-looking woman kept
a solitary vigil today while her son was
being put to death In the electric chair.
Tho woman wns Mrs C. Henslng, mother
of Roy Champlaln, who paid the Stato's
claim for tho murder of his uncle, Henry
McGhce, In Wellsvllle, a year ago.
Tho broken-hearted mother paid a last
visit to her son early last evening. Return
ing late at nlghtr she stood under a tree
on tho prison grounds nnd waited. All
night she stood, dry-eyed, motionless, a
tear-worn, frail Ilttlo woman of middle age.
who showed tho tragedy she was under
going only tn her dull, hopeless eyes. When
tho witnesses for tho execution began to
nrrlve, she asked where tho death chalnbcr
was. When Its location was pointed out,
Bho stared In Its direction until Father
Cashln, tho prison chaplain, returned from
tho prison nnd gently told her that her son
was dead.
Champlaln was not the only ono to go
to tho chnlr today. It was a double execu
tion. John Speo, convicted of murdering an
Italian grocerymnn In Nassau County, fol
lowed tho youth to tho death houso. Speo
refused to bo accompanied by the chaplain
n'nd walked firmly to his death. '
Tho two executions wero over In 22 min
utes. Each man wns given threo shocks,
Whllo tho two men were put to death,
Dr. Arthur Warren Walte, urtder sentence
to meet tho same fate, slept calmly. He
was tho only one of the doomed men In the
chamber who slept during tho night.
