SCHEME FOR A KILLING IN POOL-ROOMS FAILS SAN ANTONIO, Sept. scheme for a "killing" on the fourth and sixth races at Harlem to-day went wrong at ine last minute ana tne pooi-rooms or Texas, which stood to lose thousands of dollars, escaped through overplay of the confederates, who seemed to have an aounaance or money.

Rag Tag was sent to the pool-rooms as the winner of the fourth race and Docile as the winner of the sixth race. Neither won, although they were confirmed. Pool-room operators got suspicious through the heavy play and held up bets. Those who played the money disappeared, leaving the pool-rooms winners Instead of losers. Conservative estimates place the amount the Texas pool-rooms stood to lose at between $25,000 and $40,000, had the fraud been successful.

In every way it promises to be a largely attended and highly successful fair. Farmers are showing themselves interested and live stock raisers are deeply concerned about having their cattle, hogs, iiheep, horses and mules in proper condition for exhibition, and the several breeders of fancy poultry are determined that their exhibitions of chickens and turkeys shall be the best ever seen in Tennessee. Manufacturers from the North are seeking to have large and excellent exhibitions of farming implements and labor-saving machines. Live tltock importers from other States, as well as from this, will have imported horses, jacks, sheep, cattle and hogs here, and they will of course tend to attract additional attention. The races, too, will "challenge great attention from all classes of visitors.

The entries for these close on the 20th and enough have already been made to show that there will be a number of fast trotters and pacers here. Letters of inquiry from parties at a distance are being constantly received by the officials, aft well as by outside parties. Every convenience will be tendered members of the press and their presence is earnestly desired. Very low railroad rates from all points in the State have been secured. The premiums awarded will all be paid in cash.

The Floral Hall promises, as is iihown by the many entries, to be full from floor to roof, and there will be many- lively contests between the ladles. NEW BANK FOR McKENZIE. M'KENZIE, Sept. 1. (Special.) An effort Is on foot here to organize a now bank.

MORE NEW RECORDS CREATED One of the Greatest Events of the 1904 Olympiad Develops in the 800 Meter Race in Which James D. Lightbody Performs Notably. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1.

American athletes held the center of the stage the fourth of the Louisiana Exnosi tlon revival of the Olympic games and to pluck and grit belongs the credit for creating one world's record and three Olympic records. One of the greatest races of the 1904 Olympiad was the 800 meter race. The distance in American measure is 874. S9 yards. Entered in the race were renre sentatlves of the United States, Germany, Canada and New Zealand, but the first four places were claimed by men running, under the colors of Chicago, New York and Mil waukeo.

athletic clubs. Not only did James D. Lightbody. of the Chicago Athletic Association, lower the Olympic record by nve and two-fifths seconds, but he ran the legs off the German representative, who collapsed at the finish. The pace also proved to be heart-breaking, for E.

V. Br'eitureutz, ol the Milwaukee Athletic Club, who, after crossing the tape in third place; fell exhausted on the track and it was several minutes before he could -leave" the field. The discus throw was one of the handicap events and attracted little attention until the announcers called the result of M. J. throw.

It came within a few inches of equalling the world's record, made by himself of 327 feet 9 inches. The second throw measured 130 feet 9 inches from the starting point and the third attempt 132 feet even. The result of the 56-pound event proved a disappointment. It was expected that Flanagan, of the Greater New York Irish Athletic Association, would break the Olympic record and possibly the world's record. The New Yorker failed and was bested by a clean foot by E.

Desmarteau, of Montreal, Canada. The latter's best throw was 34 feet '4 Inches, 2 feet 31. Inches below Flanagan's Olympic record" In the 5fT-pound handicap event, Desmarteau-did a trifle better, throwing 34 feet 10 inches. Michael Prlnsteln, of. the Greater Kew York Irish Athletic Association, added 6hk inches to the Olympic running broad jump record, established by A.

C. Kraenzlein, of the University of Pennsylvania, at the Paris games in 1900. Kraenzlein, who was also the Olympic champion in the 200 meter hurdle, was deposed by H. L. Hillmun, of the New York Athletic Club, who crossed the tape in record time of 24 seconds.

MILES MKDICAL ELKHART, WU, ROOSEVELT IN WHITE HOUSE Administration Pronounced by Vice Presidential Candidate to Have Been Eminently Successful, and the Laws to Have Been Vigorously Enforced' MARION, Sept.

1. The Republican campaign in Kansas was inaugurated here to-day with speeches by United States Senator Cheater I. Long, Edward Hoch, the Republican candidate for Governor, and Senator Fairbanks, the Vice Presidential candidate. The apeechmaktng took place this afternoon in the open. Senator Fairbanks' speech was devoted almost exclusively to a presentation of economic questions, including- the trusts and the gold standard, but before entering1 upon these subjects he made reference to subjects of local interest.

Coming then to the issues of the campaign, the Senator said: "We are soon to decide whether or not we are to approve the policies which have been in successful operation for seven years. We are to determine whether or not we shall continue the eminently successful administration of President Roosevelt. "No one can truthfully say the laws have not been faithfully enforced. They have been enforced against all who have disobeyed them with equal impartiality. "That is what the people demand.

They will have nothing else. Our Democratic friends inveigh against the trusts, yet they have done nothing to restrain them. The Republican party has enacted laws for the regulation of combinations in restraint of trade or commerce between the States, and they have been enforced, as they were intended to be when they were enacted by Congress. LARGER CAPITAL. "While the Republican party believes in restraining capital which is organized to restrict competition, it firmly believes in safeguarding that which is engaged in wholesome trade and commerce.

Our modern develop5-ment requires the use of larger capital than necessary a few years ago. The use of such capital Is not a menace. It has a vital function to perform in our material development. It is not only the misuse of it we seek to guard against. The Democratic party has put upon the Federal statute books no act to regulate combinations which concern the public welfare, nor has' it enforced those written there by the Republican party.

"President Cleveland, in his last annual message, recognized the existence of trust evils, but declared that the laws enacted by Congress for their cure were inadequate. "We should not forget that the same laws which Mr. Cleveland regarded insufficient have been effectively enforced by Republican administrations. President Roosevelt has had a large number of railroads 'restrained from giving rebates to shippers. The Northern Pacillc merger, which sought practically to combine competing railroads, has been declared to be "Perhaps nothing has been more injurious to common carriers and their patrons than the widespread system of paying rebates.

Equality of treatment has been the demand of the Republican party and this is now assured under the provisions of the laws have ac ted. NOT AS PESSIMISTS. "If we are inspired by a sense of justice, and act with full knowledge and firmness, we shall have little dilli-culty in dealing with all the industrial and commercial problems which engage our attention. We must deal with them as patriots, not as pessimists; with a view not to tear down, but to build up In -a rational and wholesome way. We want to preserve the good, while we destroy with an unsparing hand that which Is evil among them.

"When the Republican party came into power seven years ago, under the leadership of one of the wisest of American statesmen, Win. McKinley, Kansas was suffering from the effects of Democratic administration. The interests of her agriculture languished. Her crops rotted in the field or were marketed at unreniunerative prices. A radical change has been wrought since then, and it is as gratifying as it is radical.

Adversity has yielded to prosperity. It is the logical result of a change of administration and an adherence to sound economic and monetary policies. "The Republican party pledged itself that it would maintain the gold standard, and it has made the promise law. Under it we have more money and a better monetary system than ever wince the Republic began. "During the last seven years no one has shared the prosperity which has come to the country in a fuller degree than the farmers.

We were told a few years ago that the farmers of Kansas and of the country would never enjoy free sliver and free trade. Results upon every hand sharply confute the prophets. "The prosperity of Kansas is well illustrated by her bank deposits. They have increased from $33,000,000 in 1895 to over $80,000,000 in 1903." Concluding, he said: "The question of the hour, Is shall we go forward, or turn backward? Shall those who have prospered under Republican policies again lift to their lips the cup of Democratic disappointment? Take the great questions to your hearts and your homes and decide as becomes Americans, who realize that the ballot is to be used to advance the fortunes of political parties only as they promote the welfare of the home."

MARSHALL, SECTY Matters Affecting Management of Penitentiary Discussed Democratic and Republican Electors Scheduled to Meet To-Day. Prison Commissioner William H.

Hartford will succeed A. Carter as Chairman of the Board of Prison Commissioners. At a meeting of the three commissioners, William T. Murray, H. Hartford and Mat M.

Marshall, on Thursday. Mr. Hartford was elected Chairman and Mat M. Marshall was elected Secretary to succeed Mr. Hartford, who has been serving In that capacity for the past year.

While various matters affecting the management of the institution were discussed by the members' at their meeting, no important action was taken aside from the reorganization of the board. Mr. Murray will be continued in charge of the State mines, where he has been for the past three years, and which he has managed with such marked success. Messrs. Hartford and Marshall will have their headquarters at the administration building of the main prison.

As stated at the time of Mr. Marshall's appointment, there will be no change In the force at the prison, at least not at present, if at all. It has always been the policy of the commission to make as few changes in the force of officials as possible, and no changes are made merely because of the appointment of a new member of the commission. Edward E. Eslick, Democratic Elector for the State at large, is in the city.

Today is the time fixed for a conference between the Democratic and Republican Electors for the nnrnosn of fnv a joint discussion. At a meeting of the iwu juemocrauc Electors ana ju. Jj. Gregory, one of the Republican Electors, held here ten days ago for this purpose, an adjournment was taken until to-day In order to glvo Foster V. Brown, the other Republican candidate, an opportunity to reply to the proposition of the Demo-ocrats.

Nothing definite has been heard from Mr. Brown in regard' to the matter, and It is not known whether or not he will attend the conference to-day. Both Mr. Jones and Mr. Gregory will join Mr.

Eslick here to-day, however. Mr. Brown was In the city Sunday, but gave no intimation as to his intentions in the matter. It is probable that if he does not show up to-day and nothing definite Is heard from him, the proposition of the Democratic Electors will be withdrawn and Chairman Thompson will proceed to make their appointments. Should this be done It Is probable that the electors will open their campaign on Saturday, Sept.

17. One of them will likely open in East Tennessee and the other in the Western division of the State. This was the course pursued four years ago, when James B. Frazier opened the campaign at Paris and his colleague on the ticket, Mr. Eslick, opened at Chattanooga.

The campaign opened on the same date which will probably be chosen this year. In accordance with the resolution adopted at the last meeting of the Campaign Committee of the Central Democratic Club, the Following Press Committee has been appointed: J. I. Finney, Chairman; Frank P. Bond and Walter H.

Clarke. Walter member of the Campaign Committee for the Ninth Ward, has appointed the following Campaign Committee for that ward: Thomas Ryan, Albert E. Hill, Jules Lusky, Charles Sykes and Otto Best. John C. Wallace, of Crossville.

Wallace was in the city Thursday and reports the political situation In the Fourth District to be in a very satisfactory condition. The special train which will carry Gov. Frazier and other Democrats to the opening of the campaign at Jackson on Monday will leave here on Monday morning at 5 o'clock. A very low rate has been made for the trln and it is exnected that a large crowd will go from here. The tram win leave jacKson immediately art-er the conclusion of the speaking, returning to Nashville early in" the evening.

W. H. Hartford, member of the State Democratic Committee.

The Broad-street armory presented a busy aspect Thursday night. There were so many things going on at the same time that the scene was bewildering. Men in soldier garb were coming and going, in this room men were putting up arms with much noise, every room had its quota of blue-shirted men discussing orders and other matters of military interest, while in headquarters office a typewriter was busily turning out typewritten copies of various documents. Officers were discussing tactics and evolutions, using many technical expressions which the average lay visitor found it difficult to understand. SCENE TO-NIGHT.

The cause of the bustle is the fact that at midnight to-night the First Tennessee Regiment, National Guard of Tennessee, Col. W. C. Tatom commanding, leaves for Manassas to participate in the maneuvers, in which G.QGO regular United States troops and 21,000 militia will be engaged. Three sections, five minutes apart, will, he rim of of here, leaving the Tennessee Central Railroad and thence by the Southern to Manassas, reaching the latter place early Sunday.

The' statements published that no sleepers would be provided have been In a sense misleading. Three Pullman sleepers have been secured as required for field, staff and line officers, and there never has been any trouble or doubt about securing these. It was at first intended to obtain tourist sleepers for the men, but owing to the heavy demands for these there has been a failure on the part of the Tennessee Central to secure them.ln the matter of tourist sleepers the'conT-pany operating them naturally gave the preference to troops coming from the more distant points, such as Texas. In lieu of sleepers ordinary coaches have been furnished and each man will have a whole seat for himself, according to promises made by the Tennessee Central Railroad. It is not believed the soldiers will suffer any hardship during their thirty-hour ride.

Many soldiers traveled much further distances In ordinary coaches during the Spanish-American War and during the Civil War most of the troops were pleased to secure even flat cars for transportation. RATIONS IN ABUNDANCE. The men will have ample room in the cars, which will be well lighted and supplied with ice water. The men will be supplied with an abundance of rations and excellent coffee, the coffee being made on the train under contract. Each soldier Is entitled to 21 cents worth of coffee per day.
