FROM NEW YORK
What an Eastern Visitor Has to Say About Our Main
 Industry

Frank Edwards.o prominen, whole sale and retail New lor. City butcher. arrived in Tombstone yesterday. ae- companied by his wife and his bright 6-yesr-old boy. NIT. Edwards and family are on A pleasure trip. and are en route to Mexico. They will visit Ft. Huachuca and the different pie iuresque canyons in these mountains, and also will see Cochise Stronghold in the Dragons, and other points of in terest in this vicinity, remaining with us for a week or more. MT. Edwards in conversation with PRosPECToR re- presentive, in speaking of the present cattle shortage in all the large eastern cities, thought there would be but lIt- tie chance of any reduction in the present high figures Of meat before the month of June, and is also oi the opinion that it mas now reached the top north.
 The present increase in prices arse 1T m two causes" said NIT. Ed wards. "a shortage ot cattle in the west, caused by large shipments last year and the ear before, and the lime it will take 10 corn-feed young cattle to make them if for good substantial meat. The vast number of young calves that have been killed is an other cause. and as it takes from two to three years for calf to mature into a steer it will easily be understood that it will be considerable time before there is a normal supply of cattle again, even i; cali killing is temporarily stopped don't think the rise in prices has teen caused hy trust; il is the scare rty Of cattle. We won't have any re- lief until the grass cattle comes in, and that Sill be abou, the mIddle of June; but even alter that think the price, for good beef will range high. don't think there will be any decrease in the present prices until we get re- Iie! from the grass cattel."

II is the opinion ofseve al able law yers who have been consulted on the subject that the product of the mines Is exempt from the income tax. The output of a mine, says the Mining and Scientific Press, being a product ol real estate, cannot be taxed under the law, and mining companies nred not pay taxes on their net profit. This will be interesting Tor the Tombstone owners, who wish tD escape the tax.

Tho storrs Law Forbidding Pool Selling
Provides for imprisonment and Fine.
TRENTON, May 2e.-The New Jersey law gov
erninG betting on horse races, pool selling, and
bookmaking Is known as tho Storrs law ap-
proved on April 20. 1904. Before It's passage
the laws passed In 1893 had oil been repealed.
They provided for the licensing Of race courses;
lcgalized betting and bookmaking on licensed
tracks; provided that persons practising such
betting. bookmaking, or pool selling. or per-
hitting then" In an indictable manner" should
be guilty of a misdemeanor and punishable only
by q fine of $50. but should not be guilty Of
keeping disorderly house, conspiracy. main

That IL any corporation of this State shall

Visions Of the last precedng section of this act
such conviction shall have the effect to dissolve
such corporation. and to render forfeit and void
it's corporate franchise and powers without any
other or further proceedings to that end"
This law. so severe are its penalties. has had
the effect OF closing all the race tracks In the
state. 1t is backed by public sentiment that
was created chiefly by the persistent and defiant
violations OF the law by the proprietors Of the
Guttenburu track In Hudson county. the
Gloucester track in Camden county, and the
Clifton track in Passaic county. Winter racing
through mud and snow had much to do with 1t.
The Monmouth Park course was popular. and
there appeared to be comparatively little feel
ing against its management, but 1t had to go
with the others.
Now the only racing Is at the half dozen
county fairs in the fall. and at tho State Fair ut
Waverly. There is no pool selling or bookmak-
ing at them though there is considerable ,pri-
vnte betting This 1t was not the intention of the
lawmakers to prevent. as was publicly said at
the time the net was passed. SO far as is known
there are no pool rooms open in the State. unless
It may be one or two conducted secretly in IIud-

ONE POOL ROOM IN MARYLAND.
A Struggle Since 1883 to Suppress Them
A Fake Track Kun Once.

BALTIMORE. May 26.-Before 1890 there was
no law on the statute books of Maryland against
pool selling. and the dozen more pool rooms
here did rushing business. An effort had
been made to shut them up but the courts de-
cided that the gambling law did not apply to
them. In 1883 bill was introduced in the
Legislature aimed against the bookmakers. but
tho latter developed strength enough to beat it.
Meanwhile. public sentiment had declared
against the business, and whom similar meas
ure was introduced in 1890 it passed by large
majority. To protect the agricultural associa-
tions and county fairs, however, a provision
was inserted which permitted pool selling and
bookmaking only on grounds in which the races
were actually being run. Had this not been done
the county members would have refused to vote
for the bill.
The law had the effect OF driving all pool
rooms out OF the city. and for time there was
no bookmaking in the State. 1t was not long,
however, before the firm OF Lynn g. Wall work ed
out q scheme by which they evaded the law.
They rented the half-mile track at Arlington.
within a half hours ride of the city. and an
Dounced daily races. Two or three horses. sent
away by dummy starter raced about the track
of the law q few pools were sold on the result
every day. The main business. however. was in
patronized the city pool rooms frequcnted the
country track.
Inc plni worked wei enough until the crowns
on their way out made it unpleasant for tho
people residing near tho track. Somo OF these
moved AWAY, and the property soon decreased
IN value. 1t was then that the county people
petitioned the Legislature to rid them of what
they called q nuisance, and in lS0" bill pro-
hibiting pool selling in Baltimore county was
introduced. This measure was killed at the last
moment. hut, in 1894, 1t was pushed through,
30 amended, however, that fair associations
were again protected This time the law was so
framed as to permit racing nnd pool selling only
thirty days In tho yenr on any one track. This
knocked out the Arlington people for time.
but about n year ago they openly started pool
room on the other side of the river in Anne
Arundel county, where they continue to do
business at the present time.
The county authorities frequently haye been
asked to put an end to the business. but the peo-
pic interested appear TO have n pull. and,
although for forms sake. indictments have
been found, their he cases have never yet reached he'd
they do n thriving business. The patrons in
rooms are even nearer than was Arlington, being
reached with a street car. This is the only pool
room now doing business In the State OF Mary
