Are Warned of a Bald and Quit Business. CHICAGO, Aug. 8. Owing to an anticipated raid there was no betting at the Harlem race track to-day and the sixth and seventh races were declared off. Five hundred deputies were sworn in early in the afternoon by Chief of Police Lange, of the village of Harlem for the purpose of raiding tha track. The officials of the course had been warned, however, and before a race had started John Condon, owner of the track, had ordered all the books closed. There were fully 16.000 people at the track, but probably not more than $1,000 was wagered and that was placed surreptitiously. At 4 o'clock Chief Lange said that thero would be no raid to-day or any day until betting is resumed. "If it is resumed," the chief said, "we will carry out the raid planned for to-day." Although the descent of the authorities did not occur it was said that numerous deputies were present and stampedes were narrowly averted several times when reports ran through the grand stand that there was trouble In the betting ring. The deputies were secured by use of the law which allows an officer to call on citizens for assistance. A carpenter on his way to work, a milkman driving his wagon and a grocery clerk delivering goods were stopped, the statute was read and' they were pressed Into service. Chief Lange carried warrants for the following alleged bookmakers: Barney Schreiber. Roy Offey,' Marcus Cartwright, James O'Leary and Oscar Bathman. Latonli Fall Meeting Stakes.

Good Card Offered Local Fistic Enthusiasts Returns from Big; Fifiht Will Be Read. While the Corbett-Jeffries fight is being pulled off in San Francisco next Friday night another good fighting card will be pn .-nted to the lovers of the sport at the Empire Theater. While the returns from the big fight are being read from the stage of the theater Hugh Kelly, of Chicago, and Charles Miller of Milwaukee, two light welter weights, will box for ten rounds. These two boxers have already gained some prominence in the fistic world. Kelly has had several battles in which he showed he was well qualified to take on any secondrate man. He will be remembered as one of the men who trained Jack Root for his fight with Gus Gardner that was fought on the Fourth of July at Fort Erie, Canada. Miller is quite as prominent in fighting circles as Kelly. He has met a number of clever fighters in Chicago and the NorthWt st. He is said to be not only good on defense, but has a punch that has great power behind it. In addition to this big card there will be a semi-windup of six rounds between Kid Caraey, of Chicago, and Kid Henderson, of this city. Carsey Is a little heavier than George Qulnn, who was stopped in the third round of his fight with Henderson in this city July 4. Henderson, by defeating Qulnn, at that time, demonstrated to his many friends that he was capable of meeting boxers of more weight. Carney is said to be next to Harry Forbes, bantam weight ( h trnpion. He has a national reputation a a boxer and will undoubtedly make a warm showing against Henderson. The show will, open with two four-round preliminaries. These will be by Indianapolis lads who have shown ability to handle the gloves. The first bout will be put on at 8:30 o'clock. The contests will continue and no delay will be occasioned. JEFFRIES QUITS BOXING. Champion Will Spar Ko More Before the Fight ivith Corbeti. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S.-Rotert Fitzsimmons has returned from Harbin Springs, where he has been aiding Jeffries in his training. Fitzslmmons said Friday that Jeffries announced that he would do no more boxing until the meeting with Corbett. "I was ready," added the freckled pugilist, "to do more work with him, but this was all he wanted me to do. I thought he ought to have boxed more and so did Delaney, but Jeffries had a different opinion and he had his way. Jeffries is very stubborn in his views and when he gets hi mind made up there is no changing it. While he has not done any hard boxing he looks healthy and strong and Just before we left he told me that he thought he was In the best shape he ever had been." Corbett continues his training at Alameda, boxing daily with Tommy Ryan. Tom Jenkins Wins a Match. SARATOGA.

Shamrock III to-day sailed the last of her trials with her sister ractr beiore going into dry dock to be put in trim for her effort to win the cup. This afternoon she was towed to Erie basin aid to-morrow will be taken into dock to have her under body re-en-anieled. She had only a sail-stretching trial to-day. In English waters Shamrock III sailed five actual trials over the measured course with Shamrock 1. They were not all thirty miles in length, but the results, figured on a basis of thirty miles to each race, show that she beat Shamrock I an average In each race of ten minutes, twenty-one seconds. In the thirteen trial races sailed in American waters the challenger defeated the old boat an average of eleven minutes, fifty-one seconds on the basis of thirty miles to each race. These averages do not include the only race in which Shamrock 1 beat the challenger, which was the result of a fluke. For nearly two weeks the challenger has shown little change in form and has easily beaten Shamrock I under all condition. OWNER IS TAKEN 0UT WITH ANOTHER DRIVER LITTLE SQL AW WINS DECIDING HEAT.

Y., Aug. 8 The summer meeting of the Hudson River Driving Park Association Club closed to-day with four nnely-coutesai races and a special match race for a purse of $2,500 between Major Delmar and The Abbott. The latter race was a disappointment, as only one heat was required to demonstrate that The Abbott is no match for the son of Delmar. After the hcrses got th word Major Delmar, who had he pole, went rapidly to the lead and was never headed by The Abbott, which was plainly having all he could do to keep up with the pace aet by his adversary.

DANVILLE SHERIFF REPLIES TO LETTER OF ILLINOIS GOVERNOR. Two More Arrests at the Illinois ity Woman Prisoner Declines to Pr.se for Pictures. Special to tha Indianapolis Journal. DANVILLE, 111., Aug. 8. Sheriff H. H. Whltlock has prepared his answer to Gov. Yates's letter ordering him to report in detail the circumstances surrounding the lynching and attack on the county Jail July 25, the means adopted in defending the jail and that which might have been adopted but was not. Following is a synopsis of the sheriff's reply: "No set rules can be laid down for handling mobs of that character. It depends very much on conditions that cannot be foretold, and each sheriff does his best with the resources at hand. I knew what my duty was and the ltfcal phases of the question, and am upheld legallby the press and popular sentiment. I think that alone will have more to do in the future with solving the -problem of how to handle mobs, especially here, than any other thing. In the future somebody ought to be left in charge at Springfield clothed with full power and authority to act In emergency. I sent a telegram asking for help to Springfield at 11:27 p. m. July 25. Fifteen minutes later I sent another, and this waa duplicated to Northcott at Greenville. It was not till 3 a. m. that I received an answer from Assistant Adjutant General Reese through Major Yeager, of this city." e WOMAN REFUSES TO POSB.

FLEW INTO THE WATER

LASGLRY'i BIRD-I.IKE MACHIC BADLY DAMAGED. Its First Flight Sueeeaafnl I ntil tha Winsrs Became Deflected, nasi Then It tank. DROPPED INTO THE POTOMAC BIT WAS FISHED OI T WD SEST T THE REPAIR SHOP. Flew Abont 400 Yarda After Bell bot Oat of the Catapnlt-Tbo Maehlne Descrlhed. WIDE WATER, Va.. Aug. 8 A partly successful experiment with the fifteenfoot Langley airship was made this morning from the houseboat in the Potomac river, off this point. The aerodrome started well in a straight line south at a velocity of seventy feet per second and flew for a distance variously eatimated at from four to six hundred yards. 8ome deflection ia the wings soon after the launching caused It to take a downward course, which he followed rapidly and was impelled into th water under the full power of her engine. There waa sufficient steam generated for a rapid flight for a half or three-quarters of a mile. Under the full pressure of thl force the machine struck the water and a moment later disappeared from view. Tha machine was recovered, considerably damaged, and removed to the houseboat, where extensive repairs will have to be made before another test can be pulled off. At a given signal the model waa dispatched on its voyage. The launching car was pulled back to the leeward of the superstructure snd sent forward on its track at a rapid velocity. When the windward end was reached the machine shot forth. A better launching could not hsve been desired. The Smithsonian scientists believed that the highest hopes were about to be realized, but after the first few seconds of flight, the wings wtre deflected and the flying machine went downward until her course was ended on the mud-bottom of the Potomac. She was traveling st a velocity of about forty miles sn hour. When the machine was rsised from the water a workman attempted to cover it with a cloth, but for a long time was unsuccessful. Its mechanism and dimension were plainly seen from the press boat twenty feet away. It was equipped with four wings, two on each side, about four by six feet, made of the finest oil silk, snd held upon delicate wooden rods. The wings were shaped like a tent. The body consisted of an intricate arrangement of fine steel rods with cylinders, motor and boilers carefully balanced. Between the two sets of wings were situated the propellers, two In number, equipped with two blades. The steering gear was situated at the rear and was constructed from material like the wings. The motor is supposed to generate something in excess of two-horse power. Several photographs were secured of the machine in flight. The wind against which it flew was blowing about fonr miles en hour. After the experiment Assistant Manley refused to make any statement for publication. Chief Assistant Manley. of the Langley expedition, made the following statement: "The experiment was entirely successful. All the data which this machine was designed to furnish was obtained. The equilibrium was perfect, the power adequate snd the supporting surface ample. No accident occurred. Some of the woodwork of th wings snd rudder was slightly damaged by the grappling hooks used in removing th aerodrome from th water, but no ssentlal parts were injured. Were another test desired thia afternoon the same machine could be used. I have nothing further to say at preaent. I shall make a full report of the test to Professor Langley." Soon thereafter the houseboat was closed and the party went to Washington on the tug D. M. Key. Before leaving both th large and small launching carnages wer removed from the superstructure BARRICADED IN HIS HOUSE. W. H. Neff, After Beutln Wife, Desperately Resisted Arrest. W. H.

The subject of illiteracy among college students does not seem to hsve been discussed much at the late meeting of the National Educational Association. Perhaps It is rather a sore subject, but after all something ought to be done to improv th spelling of the urlverslty men anr? women before they go up for their admission examinations. The universities cannot be expected to attend to the matter and male up the deficiency of the primary and grammar schools. Even the high schools thlnlc that readln' and wrltln' is outsld their curriculum and hould be taught before the student la certified up to them. But there 1 a cog missing somewhere, and it really behooves the National Educational Association to hunt it up and restore it ta th common school system. A Wisconsin congressa an has acknowledged his disappointment snd chagrin at the auoccaalve failure of his candidates for West Point, and the Naval Academy to pass the examinations after they have been appointed and are supposed to have specially prepared for the ordeal. They altnoat invariably break down in their spelling. They cannot write a paragraph of English without displaying their illiteracy. Instead of bothering ao much with paychology and study of the child perhaps our educators had better see to it that the child does the studying in th fpelling book or in whatever substitute for it that may be in use at the several schools. Of course everybody csnnot be taught to spell with absolute correctness but everybody can be made to spell rassably well by the -proper application of discipline. Kfieotsi of Perfaiaee.
