Eight Valuable
Thoroughbreds
Perish in Fire
Noted Horses Lost When
Barns at Ohio State Jockey
Clilh Burn—Many Others
Saved by Race Fans.
a ———
Cleveland, O., June 1.—Eight thor
oughbred race horses and a pony
were burned to death in a fire which
destroyed five barns at the Ohio
State Jockey club’s race track at
Maple Heights, near Bedford, O., late
yesterday. Nearly 150 horses were
trapped in the barns and that not
more were lost was due to the hero
ism of scores of racegoers and at
tendants, who cut the animals loose
and let them run at large. Several
were so badly burned they may have
to be destroyed. •
Those killed were well known to
followers of the running races. They
were Susiana, a 3-year-old winner of
two events at the present meeting;
Huron II (7), and Shortstop (8), owned
by J. A. Parsons of Cheyenne, Wyo.,
and Long Island (4), Portlight (10),
Mambl (5), and the Ulster (3), in the
stables of A. S. Eastman of Toledo.
All had been winners on various
tracks of America. The eighth horse
was unidentified.
Portlight lost his life when, after
being cut loose, he ran back into the
flames.
Starting in one of the barns when
an oil stove is said to have exploded,
the fire, fed by hay and straw, spread
quickly to adjoining buildings and
in a few moments the entire back
stretch was a mass of flames. The
horses were Just entering the home
stretch in the fifth event when the
fire was discovered, but a majority
of the fans did not wait for the fin
ish and headed for the barns, a quar
ter of a mile from the grandstands.
• The loss to the stables was placed
at $12,500 by General Manager F. N.
Polman. The loss on the animals
could not be learned, but it may run
as high as $100,000.
The sixth and seventh races were
delayed, but were run off. The six'll
was won by Blazonry, one of the ani
mals rescued.
It is impossible to estimate the
value of the vast collection of jew
elry owned by Queen Mary of xlng
land.

Smoot Predicts
No Cut in Taxes
“Never Again' Will Federal
Levy Be Less Than $3,
000,000,000 a Year.”
Los Angeles, Cal., June 1.—Reed
Smoot, United States senator from
Utah, told members of the Lincoln
club at a luncheon they gave in his
honor that ‘‘never again will your
federal taxes be less than $3,000,000 a
year, but probably more.”
"The foremost subject of Interest
to the American people now Is taxa
tion,” said the senator. “Before the
war that word meant nothing to us,
but what a difference now! For 25
years to come, the dominant ques
tions will be how to raise the money
for our government. I am sure the
fedyal taxes never again will be less
than $3,000,000,000 annually. Prob
ably in a few years, they will be more
than that.
In less than a decad, we shall be
payipg $1,500,000,000 a year in pen
sions to world war veterans. It Is
right and just this should be done
but the taxpayers must prepare for
the burden.”
Touching on the money owed the
United States by varioua European
countries, he said:
"All honor to England. She con
siders it as much a sacred duty to
meet her obligations as life itself.
If it had been left to me, I would
have made a better settlement for
her than was made, for the settle
ment was burdensome to her. Eng
land Is taxed $104 a year for every
man, woman and child. For that war
cost her more than all her expenses
of government. Including wars, In the
226 years before the war. If peace
ever comes, and the world ever gets
back to normal conditions, it will
have been brought abbut by the Eng
lish-speaking peoples and no others.”
He said France bad "her back
aga.lnst the wall” and was faced by
a situation of a grave nature, not
only to her, but to the remainder of
the world. Italy, he said, was feel
ing keenly the losses of the war and
the payment of her debt to the United
States was a problem for her most
astute financiers. He placed Belgium
In the same class with France and
Italy. Poland and Czecho-Slovakia,
he declared' were making every effort
to pay their debts to America and
should be commended for their
efforts.
