Last Racing Feast
For Horsemen in 1921
F. 13. Elliott of Auburn commenting
on the races given by Gardiner Driv
ing and Agricultural Society makes j
the following statement which on ac- j
count of his Illness, he says is much
overdue:
“The track of the society is located
at Merrill’s Corner close to the elec
tric car line from Gardiner to Lewis- j
ton. It is one of the best race tracks j
in Maine, and in the natural beauty of j
its surroundings probably has no.
equal in this country.
"It was formerly called Meadow
Park by its former owner and builder,
10\o well-known horseman Henry
Merrill. No autos being allowed on
the inside of the 'track and the grad- j
ual rising slope of the ground outside !
the track make it easy to watch the
horses race from wire to wire.
"Everything wras done by the so
ciety to make it pleasant for the
horsemen. We found the stalls clean
and well bedded and the best of hay
and grain was furnished free. Many
courtesies were shown which make
the horsemen anxious to return next
season.
"The fields In every class were
good. Races wrere hotly contested
and in fact were excelled nowhere In
Maine.
"The track record was lowered from
2.15J to 2.12J by Valley Forbes driven
by H. R. Hayes of Rochester, N. H.
Mr. Hayes, a new' driver among us,
lias received many compliments on
the manner In which he has piloted
Valley Forbes, Tom Donahue and
Haloium to victory.
"People living near the park opened
their houses to roomers and boarders
ind fn every way loaned a helping
land.
"The fine pair of shoes presented to
8ach driver and care-taker were..
thankfully received and will cause
many pleasant recollections of l’res.
Littlefield and Meadow l’urk. Horse
men look forward to great success In
coming years for Gardiner Driving
and Agricultural Society.”

close of the first day of the strike of

cials announced that 41,000 workers j
in packing houses ^throughout the |
country were on strike while spokes- j
men for the packers asserted Chicago j
plants were operating with full forces j
while plants in other cities all con- 1
tinued work.
Twenty-nine thousand workers in !

j cent, had ben decided on by plant
assemblies, composed of representa
tives of employers and workers
through which the packing compan
ies propose to settle questions affect
ing the workmen. More than 12.<100
workers employed by the big five
packers in (Chicago walked out today,
according to Mr*. Larje’s statement.
Spokesmen for the “big five” gave
figures to show that only about 1.000
men were out in Chicago while the
number on strike at independent
plants was given by packing officials
as about the same number.
According to Mr. Lane, approx
imately 28 per cent, of the Chicago
workers reported for work today. "I
am satisfied that tomorrow morning,
will see the packing establishments
closed tight, because this element will
join the majority,” he said. Four in
dependent parking concerns in Chi
cago and two outside settled with the
strikers today. Mr. Lane said.
According to the packers, there
were two men waiting for every job
that was vacant and men were being
hired to fill the places of the strikers.
There was no violence in connection
with the first day’s strike here, oat
at St. Paul, several persons tvme
slightly injured when a group o*
commissioned men clashed with pic
kets.
Practically all employes of the
Denver packing plants were striking,
company officials admitted today, and
p tonight an order was issued in dis- ,
trict court demanding that the work
men return to their jobs pending in
vestigation of the dispute by the Col
orado industrial commission.
Newspapermen
Worse Than Sleuths,
Says Charles Morse
Havre, Dec. 5—(By A. 1’.)—-The
steamship Paris, having aboard ,
Charles W. Morse, whose presence is!
desired in the Fluted States by the j
department of justice at Washington,
sailed at 10.150 o’clock for New York.
Prior to the departure of the ves- I
scl, Mr. Morse reiterated that he had
received no reply from Attorney
General Daugherty to his request to
be permitted to remain in Europe
until January to undergo medical
treatment. Likewise at the American
consulate today it was said no reply
had been received through it for Mr.
Morse.
“Come to meet me hero sometime
in January,” were Mr. Morse's part
ing words to the correspondent of
The Associated Press. “I surely will
be back if I'm still alive.”
Mr .Morse sunken nnoarn me
steamer so quietly that many of the
ship’s officers were unaware of his
presence until lie became dissatisfied
with his stateroom No. which he
was asked to share with another pas- I
sender, and went to the purser and
requested that he be Riven another
room. The purser said his request
would be granted as soon as all the
passengers had embarked, if there
was a vacant stateroom available.
During the afternoon one of the
newspaper correspondents showed
Mr. Morse a Paris dispatch saying
that lie was under indictment.
“I don’t believe it,” said the ship
builder. “It cant' be true. I wouldn’t
care if it were, I am gomg back, and
you couldn’t drag me off this ship. I
have hud enough of this shawoding
by Eetectives. which is quite discreet.
That of the newspapermen is much
less tactful, and irritating.”
Chinese Delegation’s
Secretary Quits, Sends
Resignation to" Peking
Washington, Dec. 5.—(By A. I’.).—
Philip K. C. Tyau, secretary genera!
of the Chinese delegation to the
Washington conference and minister
to (Juba, today cabled to Peking his
resignation as a member <^f the dele
gation in protest against the “nega
tive results’’ thus far achieved con- j
corning China's demands.
Dr. Tyau told the Associated Press
tonight that in ??signing he acted
without consulting the three Chinese
delegates and tiis} action represented
libs personal views. The.^delegation
was notified after the cablegram had
been sent to the Chinese government.
“I .personally do not feel that any
actual results have been achieved by
the Washington conference regarding
China,'" Dr.* Tyau said. “They have
been negative in actuality, except in
principle. Everything lias been agreed
to in principle and then turned over to
sub-committees.”
In nd single case China has present
ed for settlement on the basie of the
10 points proposed by the Chinese del
egation ^t the beginning of the con
ference. Dr. Tyau said, has anything
more than justice to China been in
volved. None of the 10 points required
delayed action, lie said, because they
were based on China's rights as a. sov
ereign nation.
"Every one of the demands," tie con
tinued, "were for tilings taken from
China in violation of treaty rights or
through duress because'‘the powers
were strong enough to do it. They
continue their violation of China's
sovereignty ^nd then tie the ..settle-'
nient of the questions up in sub-eoni
mittces."
Iteferring particularly to tli-* remov
al of foreign post oflices from Chinese
soil. Dr. Tyau said the action of tlie
conference in agreeing to accede to
this demand of China only after long
investigation by a commission was in
direct violation of China's rights as
a sovereign nation.
"If we attach our signature to any
sueli proposition,” he added. "we
woqld lie in tlie position of condoning
highway robbery on the pnrt of the
powers. The powers have been guilt”
of highway robbery of this snurce of
revenue," and instead of China pleading
for restoration of the control of all
post offices on Chinese soil, China
should demand indemnity fur all the
revenue she lias been robbed of by the
powers maintaining post offices in
China.”
U. S. Blimp Tests
Prove Value of
New Helium Gas
Washington, Dee. 3—C-7, a Mg cig
ar shaped navy “blimp" proved today
the value .of helium, the new non-in
flammable gas discovered during the
war. The great gas bag with ils
pendant liak droned its way to Wash
ington from Hampton Roads, Virgin
ia, and back again,-making an actual
demonstration of the lifting power
of the new gas. She was the first
ship of the air to be inflated with jt
and she met every test, her officers
reported.
Not only was the ship sufficiently
buoyant throughout her long double
journey and safe from any clanger of
fire or explosion in air, but she car
ried back to Hampton Roads exactly
the same amount oT gas she brought
away. There was no dispersion
through the rubberized fabric of the
bag. “C-7" answered her rudders
perfectly, nodding up and down over
the city at the. will of her pilots with
out "valving" to make her rise and
drop. The official report of the round
trip as well as of the preliminary
(lights at Hampton Roads shows the
test to have been wholly satisfactory.
A statement issued by tlie navy de
partment said:
"Tho performance of the airship
was excellent in every particular.
The practical use of helium as a gas
for the inflation of airships has been
demonstrated beyond a doubt. .
"The natural gas wells in the Unit
ed States afford a practical monopoly
of the known sources of supply. Ac
cording to the latest estimates, hel
ium Is escaping into the atmosphere
nt the rate of one and a quarter mil
lion cubic feet a day, or at a rate
sufficient to fill four large airships a
week."

Baseball Men
Gather at Buffalo
Buffalo, X. Y.. Dec. 5—The penalty
imposed upon Babe Ruth and two
other players of the New York
American League team for disre
garding an order against playing in
exhibition games , following the
world’s series today overshadowed
all othor interests among the base
ball men, here for the 21st annual
meeting of the national association
of professional baseball leagues.
It was the generally expressed
opinion that tlie best interests of the
game demanded disciplining of the
players and that the penalty imposed
would have, the effect of putting a I
stop to “barn-storming” after future
world's series.
Col. Jacob C. Rapport and Col. T.
I,. Huston, owners of the Yankees,
said they would abide by ihe ruling
and keep the three players out of the
game for tlie lirst live or six weeks
of next season.
Tlie action of Commissioner Lan
dis has given an added interest to his
appearance here on Wednesday eve
ning as tlie guest and chief speaker
at a dinner to visiting baseball men.
The national board of arbitration
today took up 126 cases of disputes
over contracts, releases and other
issues growing out of the season's
play in 26 minor leagues.

that the next board wil consist of
