How Blanche Rinn Reduced Weight From 160 to 135. New York , April 5.

The team of horses which were stol- n from William Hell near Randolph , presumably by the Randolph bank rob- Dors , were found In the golf grounds of the Norfolk Country club at noon Monday. The North Nebraska Live Stock association was responsible for getting the horses , although Bell was lot a member of the association. Mr. Bell reached Norfolk at noon md identified the team , which had leen taken in charge by John Krantz , vice president of the association. The Boll farm is twelve miles south west of Randolph and the robbers had jeen driven to that place by a mys- : erious driver , not yet known. That Iriver had then returned toward Ran dolph. The robbers removed the shafts from the Bell buggy , substltut- ng a tongue for double use , and left the shafts and monkey wrench lying n the road. Then they drove to Nor folk , unhitching their horses at the Country club golf grounds. The robbers either are still in Nor folk or took an early train out , it is supposed. Tills is the second time in six months that a stolen team has boon loft by the thieves in the Country clul golf links. Roy Bovee Making Good. Roy Bovee. the Norfolk pitcher wlu is making a hit in the Omaha Westerr League try-out team , Is said to ho t a great favorite of Pa O'Hourke , man ugcr of the Omaha team. In a lettei to Norfolk friends Bovee says ho li conlldent that ho will make good ii the Omaha team. An Omaha papoi a few days ago printed Iho Norfoll boy's picture showing him ready ti make a delivery. The paper said : Roy Boveo of Norfolk , Pa 'Rourko'i youthful left-hand twlrlor , ralhor so old Vlnlon street park on flro yesterday day afternoon with his pitching. The lanky six-footer was In flm trim and heaved the most tanlallzlm curves and shoots at the batters. For three Innings Iho sluggers couh do nothing with Boveo , getting neltho a till nor a run , and by his class ; work ha earned Ihe right to bo on QMM T - * > f the twlrlors to got a chance at rimming the Antelopes. The resl of Iho 'Hourkes arc gel- Ing better every day and the other illchers , especially big Slndelar , are showing some real stuff. Boveo started pitching about eight years ago at Norfolk and has been at II ever since. Ills work for Lyons asl year earned him Ihe right to try or a place with Omaha , It Is claimed by the fans that Bovee mil Slndelar have the edge on the others so far In the tryont. A FIGHT OF MANY ANGLES. That Accounts for Various Opinions on the Big Mill. Now York , April 5. Judging from the preparations being made for the liundllng of betting commissions on the Jeffries-Johnson battle on July 4 , the contcHl for heavyweight ring supremacy will bo one of the greatest events upon which sportsmen have wagered in many years. It Is believed by those who carefully follow the trend of such matters that the amount of money which will he In the hands of stakeholders when the pugilists en ter the ring will run Into many hun dreds of thousands of dollars. The world-wide Importance of the battle and Ihe International reputation of both Johnson and Jeffries , it Is ex pected , will lead to wagers from all parts of the world. The bout set for Independence day contains so many angles which have never been present in previous ring combats , that there Is a wide differ ence of opinion as to the ultimate winner. Jeffries in ills prime as a pugilist was considered to ho abso lutely invincible. Fighting at a time when the heavyweight ranks contain ed a most formidable list of competi tors , he twice went through the list , sweeping all before him in his climb to the championship. This record , which has not been ex celled In modern pugilistic history , gave him a following such as no oth er lighter has ever had. The admira tion which his performance aroused among pugilistic enthusiasts has never been dimmed. To a great extent It- holds good today , despite the fact that Jeffries has not fought a contest of any Importance in almost half a do- cade. In what little wagering has been done on the coming contest , he has been a , pronounced favorite and the prediction has been made that he will enter the ring a two to one favo rite over the negro. This belief is said to ho based upon the idea that Jeff's admirers , remembering ills abil ity in the past , will back him regardless - loss of statements that may conic from his rival's training camp. In order to make wagering brisk there must he , of course , plenty of hacking for both pugilists , and judging from re ports from various parts of the coun try tills will not he lacking. Tlic situation was summed up by a well known Broadway sportsman and better when he said the other night : "There will he all kinds of hotting on the big Emeryville light and just as soon as the men begin to train in earnest you will see the 'nion * go up in big wads. To my way of think ing , sentiment will go a long way to ward securing a big backing for Jeff , but the wise money will lie on the negro. I know a lot of men who can't see anything in this talk of Jeff regaining his great lighting form of ii few years ago. When the time comes they will be at the ringside ready to gobble up all of the two to one money In sight if anything like these odds prevail on the day of the tight. " This difference of opinion extends into the ranks of the pugilists. It Is possible to start an argument at any time or place when boxers gather by introducing the subject of the Jef fries-Johnson tight ami the probable winner. Jim Corhett , Tom Sharkey , Frank Gotch , Battling Nelson , Au Wolgast and many others have gone on record as predicting a victory for the California ! ! . Johnson's side of the argument has been taken by Owen Moran , Tommy Ryan , Joe Gana , Stan ley Ketchel , Billy Papke and others just as numerous as the Jeffries con tingent. It is this very difference of opinion , both among the pugilists and pugilistic followers , that points to the jig battle being a record breaker from wagering standpoint. Many In attempting to forecast a winner introduce their statements with a proviso relative to the referee or the possibility of the affair being fought under an agreement between the pugilists. Those connected witli the promotion of the battle have stated emphatically there need be nc grounds for doubt or suspicion on either point. Tex Rickard has alreadj gone on record as favoring two referees orees for the contest , one or both tc be in the ring. His partner , Jacli Gleason , Is understood to he stronglj opposed to such an Innovation. He bases his objections on the groniu : that w'lth two men arbitrating the con tesl Ihero Is a possibility of a wrang ling or confusion which might mar the bout. As the matter stands at preseni Jack Welsh is the loading candidaK for referee , In case one arbllralor is chosen. Should it be finally decldc ( that two referees are essential , tin second man will surely bo an easterner orner , and the names of Charley am Johnny While of this city have boot mentioned. Both are equipped by ox perlonco for such a position and havi the confidence of easlorn fight follow ors. There is some doubt as to whotho Johnny White would oinclalo be cause of his business duties , but Chai ley White has stated that ho wouli bo In a position lo ofllciato If his sot vices arc required. Any one of Iho Irlo mentioned ha established a reputation for falrnos In deciding boxing contesls , and wouli undoubtedly prove acceptable lo a mn jorlly of Ihoso who will wager on lln battle. The responsibility of the posl lion Is such that no compolent rofore will accept Iho ofllco unlit ho has given Die move consideration.

A Chain of Model Pawnshops to be Established. Now York , April 5. With a view of thwarting the heartless methods of oan sharks who have been taking ad vantage of the misfortunes of the poor n New York for years , Mrs. Russell Sage is almost ready to place her signature of approval on the plan of the Sage Foundation to capitalize a liain of model loan establishments that will advance money to the poor > n their household goods at the legal ate of interest.

Hall , to whom was delegated the task of investigat- ng conditions in this and other states low has the situation well in hand iind is ready lo act. The effect of the chain of loan es- ablishments backed by the Sage nillions , will ho far-reaching. In con junction with recent activities on the ; > art of the state hanking department , it will tend to cither drive the loan sharks out of business or cripple their lower for harm. A bill recently introduced Into the ogislature requires all such organiza- .ions to have a paid up capital of $10,000 , and they must file a bond for $1,000. Power Is also given to the su perintendent of banks to refuse a li cense to persons whose character and general fitness does not pass muster. FORGAVE A FICKLE HUSBAND.

New York , April 5. Just at present vomon are especially interested in orsets , because they know the sue- ess of most gowns depends upon the holce of a suitable corset. Of course , there are a few women vho are ignorant of the importance > f this garment and so they often ilame the dressmaker for errors in he framework of the gown , not rea l/ing that the fault is in the lit of he stays. But nowadays , when there is a nodol to suit every type of figure ind at the same time conform to fash- oil's demand , there is no reason why my woman should be poorly corset- Jd. If the purse will allow , undoubted- y the best results arc obtained by ilacing one's self in the hSnds of a ( impotent and conscientious corset- ere. ere.There There are , however , many excell ent ready-to-wear corsets , and even ho ones that are modest in price are itted by skilled women to the pur- baser at most of the shops. This season the dillicnlties of choos- ng ti fashionable corset that shall bo comfortable also are lessened by reason of fashion's decree that the vaist line shall be normal. Indeed , he new models are not unlike those vorn a decade ago , with certain modi- icatlons , of course. For instance , there Is no curve in it the waist line down the front , 'rohably there never will be a re turn to this style of corset , as the straight front has proved such a com- 'ort , especially to stout figures. The new corsets are much longer than those worn years ago. An ex- rome novelty is so long the lower edge is trimmed daintily with lace md ribbon , for it is Intended to take he place of a short petticoat. Of onrse , the hones do not extend the nil length. Some lace in the front , > thers in the back. EXERCISE FOR THE ARMY. Mounted Officers Must Ride 150 Miles a Month. Washington , April 5. Continuous physical stunts are prescribed for of- licers in an order now under consld- 3ration by the general staff of the irmy.

An average - ago ride of about 150 miles a month is to he required of all mounted of ficers , while the unmounted commis sioned personnel must grind out half that distance on foot. Six miles a day mounted , or three miles a day unmounted , is the edict of the general staff. A SALOON TEST IN ILINOIS. Ninety-Seven Townships Will Resubmit - mit the Liquor Question. Chicago , April 5. The stlffest test which has been made in Illinois be tween the liquor interests and the anti-saloon forces will come In the election today. In ninety-seven townships where there are cities or villages which were voted anti-saloon territory two years ago at the first trial of the then now local option law , the liquor people are trying to reverse the vote of 1908 and convert the townships into saloon ter ritory once again. In KJG townships , whore the largo cities of the state arc located and which were saved to the saloon forces years ago in most instances after desperate fighting , the saloon oppon ents once again are endeavoring to manufacture them into anti-saloon ter ritory. Reports from all over Iho slat in dicate that this is by far the most hitler struggle which ever has oc curred In Illinois over the salooi. ques tion. Practically every city of im portance In the state , with the ex ception of Chicago , Peoria and Qulncy , are involved in the contest. The failure of the anti-saloon elO' mont in Chicago to got the anti-sa loon question upon the Chicago bal lot for today's election resulled Im mediately in Ihe flooding of Iho criti cal points In the state with oratory and campaign supplies which had been prepared for the Chicago cam- palgn. HATS ARE BIGGER THAN EVER. The Season Started Modestly but It Couldn't Last. Now York , April 5. Al Iho begin ning of Iho season every one was enchanted chanted wltti Iho hats so sane Ihoy were , so simple and artistic. But now ? They have been growing with the spring season at such a rate that they are large enough to cause a total eclipse of the wearer. Crowns are eight inches high , brims from twelve to llfteen Inches wide and tulle bows are attaining Incalculable height. In Chicago , they say. the legislators , elated by their victory in hatpin leg islation , are framing a bill to regu late the size of women's hats. And as they consider themselves the chief sufferers from this mammoth head gear , they are hastening to pass the hill belore women have had a clumcu to protest. Other changes which the advanced season has brought with It are thu In creased use of ribbons and velvet , and thu loss conspicuous use of the flowers. This Is due. In great part , to the sudden Invasion of Chanteclor , who broughl with him a feathery mode. Quills , aigrettes , plumes , breasts and whole birds are used on hats of every description. For the trim walking hut nothing Is more effective than a quill or Iwo fastened with a bow of soft straw , or a cuhochon of straw and ribbon. The latest thing In Paris Is to put all the trimming at the bucK , even on the turbans. On these n bushy aigrette rearing its head heav enward Is the latest sensation. NO COUNT OR DUKE FOR HER. New York , April 5. Miss Mathildo Townsend. with thirty million dollars in her own right , bought by dukes , counts and princes , prefers a plain , American husband , according to the latest gossip. She has put aside all thoughts of Count Sala , Count Hatz- fold , Count D'Adhemar , Butler Ames , Beale Bloomer and Prince Jerome Bonaparte , and even the Duke nf Alva is hut a memory. The man of the hour is Peter Goolct Gerry. Commode Gerry's second son has always been more or less occupied with the girls of his set , but until the beginning of this year he never went so far from Fifth avenue and Broadway as Washington to bask In the sunshine of a girl's smiles , so the litle fllrtallon of Mr. Gerry and Miss Townsend is the present delect able morsel of gossip , especially as Peter managed to be in Atlantic City when Miss Townsend was there and danced in devoted attendance. Miss Townsend , however , is a diplomat , and perhaps just to show Peter that he cannot sail into her heart on a perfectly calm sea there is a certain Mr. Robhins filling in. He is some what intense in his devotion and just before Mr. Gerry appeared upon the scene was regarded as a serious suit or. Anyway , Mr.Robbing , thought so and the story goes that ho Is much grieved at being displaced. AT TEN MILLIONS A MILE. The Costliest Railroad in the World Nearlng Completion. Now York , April 5. The Pennsyl vania railroad opened to public inspec tion for the first time 1G.5 miles of the most expensive construction work , foot for foot , over attempted namely , its tunnel and terminal improvement from Harrison. X. J. , to Sunny Side , Long Island. The average cost of a mile of steam railroad is about $25.000 ; the cost a mile of the tunnel and terminal im provement has been more than $ ! ) , - 000,000. The company has thus far expended 102 million dollars , and will expend 100 million dollars before the improvement is completed. Train ser vice is due to begin late in June , or early in July , with an initial card of 1,000 trains daily. The boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens , with a population of one and one-half million , will then have direct connection by rail for the first time with the south and west. For many years New York city has been accessible by rail over the tracks of only one system the New York Central which had the only terminal within the city. All other trunk lines had to set down their passengers from the west on the further shore of the Hudson , where they wore brought to New York by ferry. These roads in 1'JOG carried to the ferries about 140 million passengers and served a suburban district which Inclosed 5- 404G S souls live years ago. In 1920 it is estimated this population will be twenty millions. The tunnel division Is electrically operated and the third rail carrying the current is the heaviest ever rolled 150 pounds to the yard. The cars are built of steel. The tunnel itself is of concrete. The trains run In a slot between solid concrete benches and in event of a collision or a derail ment the cars could not burn , and the train could neither -ram the walls of the tunnel nor even upset because of the benches at either side.
