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.

,The Colonial opened a two days' en

drama starring Alice

"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

comedy, "A Royal Rogue," and Patlie

screen's wonderful star of Western
characters, W. S. Hart, will be seen
in "The Square Deal Man." An added

criterion, no one who saw that show
is going to miss this one.
The title of the new bill is "Kissing

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

program of musical numbers.
Mary Miles Minter will be present

her to spite her own relations, thaws
the congealed lriilk of human kindness

changes the whole atmosphere of an

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

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.
