JUDGE STOPS CIRCUIT RACES-AMUSEMENTS RACING STOPS WITH BETS OFF Judge Murphy's Orders Bring End to Big Events; Will Test Case Grand Rapids, Mich., July 12.—Sher iff Bery Informed Judge Murphy, promotor of the running race meet here, that six warrants would be served upon the promoters as soon as the first bet was made at the track yesterday. Judge Murphy then an nounced this afternoon that no more races will be held here. The complaint that caused the shut down was made by E. S. Dodson, for merly guiding spirit of the Grand Cir cuit meet held in this <;lty. He con tended that the mutuel form of specu lation was in violation of the law. The prosecuting attorney, on obtain ing certain information, instructed of ficers to prevent further betting at the track. That the shut-down here will have a far-reaching effect all over the state is the general opinion. It is likely that the blue ribbon meeting at Detroit will be a sufferer, as the mu tuel Bystem was to have been the wagering method there. Had Rig I'roct-inn The Gland Rapids race meeting, a revival of running races in Michigan, began July 4, and was to have con tinued ten days, ending July 14. Bet ting was conducted at the track on the pari-mutuel system, without ma chines. The first complaints were made to Prosecuting Attorney Hofflius Mon day, charging that because machines were not used, there was no way of telling whether the management was paying the proper return to betters. The prosecutor ordered Sheriff Berry to enforce the Michigan antibetting law, but did not order racing stopped. Races were conducted yesterday and bets were placed, t The* West Michi gan State Fair Association, under whose auspices the races were staged, declared yesterday it would go into court to test its rights.

REGENT—"Annie-For-Spite." ,The Colonial opened a two days' en gagement yesterday with a vital drama starring Alice Alice Joyce In Joyce and Harry "HA- Secret" Morey in the leading roles. There was a man once who, in an hour of shame, wronged a woman most mercilessly. She passed out of his life as quickly as she had come into it. He forgot— nor did he ever dream the slow, grim round of Fate would bring his crime back to him. But the day of reckon ing came. And how did he pay? See "Her Secret," which is at the Colo nial to-day, also a funny Keystone comedy, "A Royal Rogue," and Patlie News. To-morrow and Saturday the screen's wonderful star of Western characters, W. S. Hart, will be seen in "The Square Deal Man." An added feature is "Her Nature Dance." Mon day and Tuesday, Herbert Brenon of fers the celebrated star,' Florence Heed, in a magnificent production of Victor Hugo's "The Eternal Sin." To-night the Garfield Musical Com edy Company will present an entirely new bill at the Pax- Change Hill tang Park Theater. If nt Pnxtnng the success of "Are You a Mormon?" pre sented by the Garfield Company dur ing the first half of the week is any criterion, no one who saw that show is going to miss this one. The title of the new bill is "Kissing a Maid," a musical farce comedy re plete with ludicrous situations, funny dialog and comedy characters. In tii is new show Mr. Haines plays the part of an Irish cook, female gender, that is said to be very funny. The other principals and the big chorus will be on hand with a brand-new program of musical numbers. Mary Miles Minter will be present ed at the Regent to-day in her latest photodrama, "Annie- Mary Miles For-Spite." When Minter nt the Mary, as the little Reyrent To-dny orphan girl, smiles her way into the icy heart of Mrs. Nottingham, the aged v/dmaf! of wealth, who had adopted her to spite her own relations, thaws the congealed lriilk of human kindness in the old woman's crabbed soul, and changes the whole atmosphere of an unhappy home by the radiance of her own goodness, there is something more due than mere appreciation of the brilliant acting of this fascinating young star.' The beholder is charmed to the conclusion that Mary is just what she seems to be on the screen— a ray of sunlight fashioned by divine inspiration to shine into the world's dark corners and make folk the bet ter for having seen her.

Walthall, America's greatest emotional actor, will he presented in an intensely hu man love drama of the slums. ■— THANKS) THE other day a stranger from one of our west ern cities happened Into our store, and mad© several purchases.

Expect 1,000,000 Barrels of Potatoes of Jersey Woodstown, N, J., July 11.—Po tato growers in this region who have been carefully watching the mar keting of the crops of tubers on the Eastern Shore, are now expecting a price of at least $4.50 or $5 a bar rel when South Jersey's crop of ap proximately a, million barrels is dug the latter part of this month. This price is about double what the farm ers have received in normal sea sons and with high costs of fertiliz ers, labor and seed, most of them who have large acreages stand to make handsome profits. Fogs during the past week and appearance of blight in some sec tions have caused slight damage to the growing crop, but the tubers will soon be ready to dig and there is ap parently nothing now short of a dis aster that will prevent South Jer sey from marketing its million bar rels of early tubers. Meat Dried in This Way Will Last Indefinitely We cut plenty of meat from both the sheep, and were busy most of the next two days caring for our troph ies and drying meat. The sheep and bear skins had to be scraped, the fat carefully removed, the skins stretched out to dry. Fortunately, the weather was clear and the sun hot, so that the drying was quickly and well done. We cut a great deal of both sheep and bear meat into strir~ and hung it on a rack that we riggfcu up near the fire, where it would catch the sun and also re ceive artificial heat as well. Meat dried in this way will last Indefinite ly, and, though the avor is not much to boast of, the meat is nourishing and goes well in "mulligans" and similar concoctions. For my people at home I also dried a few pounds of both sheep and bear, according to Doctor Hornaday's receipt; that is, I first rubbed on the raw meat a mixture of black pepper, allspice, and salt, after which I dried the strips in the sun.—Scribner's Maga zine.

Strongest Locomotive Is American-Built Once more has American genius demonstrated its supremacy in the railorad field, this time in the pro duction of the most powerful loco motive in the world; not a freak built for spectacular purposes but the first of a standard type of giants of the rails constructed for a defi nite purpose. It is, capable of de veloping 7,000 horsepower, and was designed and built by the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company and the Westinghouse Electric and Manufac turing Company. , This monster, capable of exerting as much power as a string of trol ley cars over half a mile long, draws its current from a wire no bigger than that used by a trolley car, or about the size of a lead pencil. This is made possible by the use of high voltage alternating current system. This important field for this en gine will be for hauling the tremen dously heavy freight traffic of the Pennsylvania Railroad over the Al legheny Mountains from Altoona to Johnstown, Penna., including the famous Horseshoe Curv<s,' a distance of approximately forty miles. The freight traffic over this division runs as high as 300,000 tons a day. In capacity this locomotive exceeds by more than 50 per cent, the power of the large electric locomotives ,in transcontinental service, popularly called the largest locomotives in the world. The locomotive has been sent to Philadelphia, where it Is being plac ed in initial service on the electrified portion of the Pennsylvania main line extending west from Philadel phia to Paoli. It is built in one unit. There are two trucks, each having six driving wheels six feet in dia meter. On each truck are mounted two powerful electric motors taking current from the trolley wire and supplying mechanical power through a gear wheel to the drivers. The total weight is 260 tons, length 76 feet. Although this weight is co®i-" pact, the engtne is said to be much easier on the track and roadbed than the steam locomotive because the weight is cushioned and the running gear is perfectly balanced for all speeds. The control has been applied to such perfection that power can be exerted gradually so as to enable the engine to start a train without jerk and acquire the speed of twenty miles per hour with a heavy train in about, two minutes. This speed is fixed as desirable for the grades and curves which will be encountered when crossing the mountains. An interesting feature is the fact that the engine will handle these enormous trainloads, owing to the design of the motors, at constant speed, whether operating up or down grades. When going down grade the motors automatically be come generators and return power to the line, and at the same time obviate the use of the airbrakes, which are simply held for emer gency use and for bringing the train to full stop.
