New Tariff Bill to Be En
dorsed or the Position of
' Senator Beveridge? .
LIVELY FIGHT
IS ANTICIPATED
Indianapolis, Ind., March 26. Wheth
er the Republican state convention,
-which will be held here April 5, will
endorse the Payne-Aldrlch tariff law j
or the course of senator Beveridge,
who voted against the bill. Is a ques
tion that is causing party leaders deep
concern as they assembled today In 92
county meetings to select delegates to
the state convention. Senator Beveridge
will be a candiate for reelection next
winter.
The Indiana convention will be the
first of the year, and politicians admit
that its attitude toward the adminis
tration's tariff act is the .most serious
question faced In Indiana in many years.
Neither the recent convention of In
diana Republican editors nor the con
vention of the State Lincoln league
adopted resolutions approving the tariff
law. It is certain if standpatters insist
that the law be endorsed, a lively fight
will take place.

Sporting Writer Says First
Season Lost Promoters a
Quarter of a Million.
THE MILLIONAIRES
DIDN'T CROWD CITY
That the sporting writers of the coun
try have not been Impressed largely
with the Juarez racing plant the con
cern that was to make El Paso the
"Monte Carlo oi America" and pack in
the millionaires so thick that it would
be ImposslDle to turn. a .corner with
out jusuing- a. iem.1 a coupie is evi-
de"t ,. ,,.,,!
Recently a sporting writer in the
Chicago Tribune took several falls out
of the Juarez track and its manner of
operation; the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
said a few things uncomplimentary and
other papers have likewise had things
to say. Also, racing men who spent
the winter at the track left displeased,
at least at conditions if not at the man-
agement, many never to return.
Now comes one of the hardest blows
of all. Bert E. Collyer, a well known
sporting -writer, sends out a syndicate
letter in which he l3ys bare the losses
of the Juarez promoters. The Atlanta
Georgian plays up the Collyer article
under a three column head on Its sport
ing page. "Some 300,000 good cart
wheels have been blown in on the new
Mexican racing lizzla; Juarez track
has been a frost and will, perhaps, be
ciosea.ior gooa, is tne way the head
reads.
Following Is the article:
(By Bert E. Collyer).
Jacksonville, Fla., March 22. The in
augural winter race meeting at the
new Mexican course, just across the
ri0 Grande, has been brought to a close
and there is a Reeling among turfmen
that no attempt in the future will be
made to educate the subjects of presi
dent Diaz up to "hoss racing" as their
ideal of national sport.
About $300,000 has been squandered
by Mat Winn and his ?i:snfJntc in
the effort to make horse racing a popu- ,
la-r sport along the banks of the Rio
Grande, and even now accounts are be
ing sent out from El Paso stating that a
like amount will be spent upon further
improvements to the Juarez track, and
for the erection of palatial gaming
rooms, "such as exist at the famous
Monte Carlo in Europe. The turf world
is skeptical, however, and demands to
be shown.
, Tha Bad Features.
The first attempt to race on a large
scale in Mexico can not but be termed
a failure. The fact that the meeting
was curtailed is proof conclusive that
the men behind the venture were losing
heart, and why the directorate of the
Jockey club of Juarez should announce
a determination to cast another fortune
into the bottomless pit is unexplainable
True, there were unusual incidents
which tended to work against the suc
cess of the first meeting and which
might possibly never again confront
those men who were behind the new
venture. During the early part of tbe
winter Juarez was the storm center f'.r
most of the bad weather which swept
over the south. Then again th rwn
j Florida tracks bobbed up and attracted
I the majority of the eastern and middle
I western horses and horsemen, leaving
the Mexican course devoid of the higher
classes of racing material. Oakland
also kept a portion of the western
horse owners busilv onerne-erl n-r, Ho
coast, so that the horses which raced
across the river from El Paso were of a
I caliber only heard of around the Jericho
UiltKS.
Then, too, the promised exodus of the
eastern sporting fraternity to the new
Monte Carlo failed to materialize.
Those who did journey to the Mexican
course failed to write very glowing ac
counts of the game to their friends In
the east, with the result that the mi
gration, which might have headed to
ward Juarez, was halted before it had
rightly begun.
If the promoters of the racing ven
ture In the land of president Diaz had
figured on the natives patronizing and
showing Americanized enthusism In
the sport of kings, they were doomed
to disappointment.
Loss Q,uarter of a Million.
The "Greasers" lobked upon horse
racing very much in the light of a
huge joke and turned to other and. to
them, more natural sporting pastimes.
Bull fighting still reigns pre-eiuinently
the national sport of Mexico, and will
continue to do so for another decade.
About a quarter of a million dollars
would not cover the losses sustained in
the 71 days' operations of the Juarez
plant. Therefore, it goes without say
ing that even the dead-game sportr
among the rich Mexicans, who backed
j the new undertaking from the outset.
will hesitate before digging down in
their jeans for another couple of hun
dred thousand dollars to be expended
on a track which failed to pay a divi
dend. Of course, another twelve months
might work wonders for the Mexican
turf, racing might be legislated out of
Florida or something like that, and
most of the American horsemen forced
to travel afar to earn a livelihood. But
the possibility of such a contingency
arising is so distant that am" hopes for
the future success of the Juarez track
could not be based upon such.
It's hats off to the men who endeav
ored to make the Juarez meeting a per
manent fixture on the racing map. They
were game to the core, but one Is also
forced to think that a requiem might
appropriately be sung.
One of the strangest things of Easter
j time is the combining of the cross, al
ways a symbol of suffering, and llllies,
symbolic of all that is sweetest and
purest, so that one Is moved to wonder
lf after all, suffering does bring to
surface the best and finest in one's na
ture. Also in reviewing all legends con
nected with our Lord, we notice his close
observance of little things. The tiniest
birds, the smallest actions, 'were aver
noucea Dy nun ana sooner or mier
some mention made of them. The wee
robin, jecause of the pity he showed for
Christ's agony still has its little blood
colored breast; the mark of His sacred
thumb and finger is upon the head of
the fish from whose mouth the piece
of silver was taken.
Tradition says the aspen was the tree
from which the Cross was made, and
no matter what the weather to this day
each leaf is always trembling.
There is a Swedish legend that the
dwarf birch was once very tall and up
rightf but that since It was used as the
scourge, it became dwarfed and with
every drooping boughs, while the
darkies assign the same reason for the
willow bending low, and moaning con
tinually. Most Easter legends are sad and with
a tinge of anguish, but the one of the
snowdrop bears a message of hope and
brightness that Is beautiful. It runs
that as Eve was driven from the garden
of Eden, by the flaming- sword and the
igates closed upon her snow covered

NO EXPLANATION
: "Washington, Z. C, March 26.
The Balllnger-PInchot invest!-

moustv decided to deny the re-
J quest of attorney Branr'eis, "re-
; resenting Louis Pw Glavis and
I others, that secretary Ballinger

prosecution at this time.
In announcing the decision senator
Knute Nelson said that secretary Bal

sentation of his side of the case and
ample opportunity would be given all
counsel for a cross examination.
Attorney Brandeis was on his feet in
an instant. "I desire to protest." he
shouted. "Your protest will be entered.
Proceed with the case," interrupted sen
ator Nelson.
"I desire to know when Mr. Ballinger
will testify. "Will he follow Mr. Steele
on the stand?" persisted Mr. Brandeis.
"Mr. Ballinger will testify when we
see fit to put him on, said Mr. Ver
trees. "Then I desire to protest anew," re
sumed Mr. Brandeis.
"I have refrained from making spe
cific charges against Mr. Ballinger, but
specific charges have been made by
others. The one great question before
this committee and before the country
is whether or not Mr. Ballinger is unfit
to occupy his position by reason of his
J lack of truthfulness and directness. Mr.
j Ballinger has been charged Dy .ur. .rin

deceiving the president and having made

Root, "i, unanimously agreed on this

spect for the unanimous decision of the

After some further sharp discussion
Mr Brandeis subsided and John L. Steele
attorney for the Guggenheim interests in
in Alaska, took the stand.
