WILLIAM TRoN EXEMPTED.
Democratic Leaders, Pool Room Not
Covered by Governors Bill.

There has been much regret expressed
by the county and city officers who have
to do with police affairs that the Legisla-
ture did not enact a law that would leave
no question of the right to suppress such
pool selling the Iron crowd conducts
races run at other points. Governor
Matthews said last night in speaking of
this:
THE bill first drawn for the suppression
of winter racing at Roby had a section
which prohibited all pool selling unless at
the track at which the race was run and
on the day of the race. 1t was deemed
best, however, in order that the other parts
of the bill might become law without op-
position, to trust this feature to another
bill and to pass them separately. had the
assurance that this other bill would be
/ found that I had SO much trouble with
the bills that were known admnistra-
ton measures that would not urge any.
foreign pool selling might be prohibited in
the State, as it is in other States. It is
on par with winter racing and without
1T a great temptation to conduct winter
racing would be lost
Governor Matthews still thinks there is
question that the court will construe
the Roby bill SO as to conform, if In fact
there is any room for doubt, with the dis
tinct and MISUNDERSTOOD purpose of the
law:
ANY other Interpretation by the court
of the peace or police judge, but court
of higher rank would believe that the law
means only one thing and that the sup

Philadelphia, Sept. 2.-The waving Of
the red flag of anarchy during the for

the arrest of two men who attempted
to incite mob to riot. The police were
informed yesterday that an organiza-
ton Of Italian socialists was prepar-

they had fioated red flag from the
window of the meeting place.
The police notified the association
that the display of the flag was a
violation Of law and that 1t would have
to be taken down. The officers of the
association, with some reluctance, re-
moved the emblem, but when the pa
rade was formed today Wits Calvo,
one of the Italians, carried a red flag
at the head of the line and frantically
waved 1t amid the cheers of the throng
OF 1000 persons. The flag bearer was
arrested and the police were forced to
struggle with their prisoner through
the surging mob and to use their clubs
freely.
After CalvOs' arrest, another Italian.
Angelo Pazzosi, who is said to be the
president OF the association, pulled a
red nag from his pocket and waved II

pleased the crowd and cheers for the
Nag and for anarchy rent the air, fol-

He was dragged to the police station,
