and when Percy Welch and Pete Shields
dropped in they were welcomed with open

Welch could not secure accommodations

there will be no lack OF good material
ready when the bugle sounds for the
opening scramble, as the horses from New
orleans are all ready TO race, and Nc
Cafferty. Burch. Mclaughlin and Trainer
Mcianiels all have their charges pretty
well along.
There is a hot tip going the rounds on
a two-year-old Of c. ii. Smiths which

CHANGES IN The RACE BILL
Opponents Say 1t Would Substitute
Nominal for Effective Penalties.
They Propose Amendments Which
Would Allow the Present Law
to Remain in Force.

The Bartlett racing bill appeared yesterday
with twcuty-three amendments, besides
lis advocates couccdc that racing commits
sion' should lie erased from its utle, as
there is no provision for such commission
III The bill, and the District Commissioners
ask that on the first page 1t should be
provided that the five or more persons
who may incorporate for racing shall be
citizens OF the United states.
The opponents OF the bin say that if the
advocates OF the bill are sincere in their
claim that they wish 10 prevent ''ali book
making and do not wish TO weaken cX-
listing laws against gambling, they will
accept three more amendments, to which
there can be 10 exception except i'll the
interest OF gambling.
They ask that TO tie definition OF book
making in the closing paragraph should be
added the words used by District Attorney
Birncy in stating the existing law, as IN
lcrpretcd by the court OF appeals, namely:
''Or The intiCing or inducing OF nother tC
bet, whether any memorandum OF the bet
is made or not, or it is in ony other way
recorded, directly or indirectly, snail be
deemed 10 be bookmaking."
The penalties OF the bill are still less
satisfactory to the Reform Bureau and
other opponents OF the bill, and to remedy
this they ask that an amendment shall
be a0ueu SdylbS dI lile Ciose vi sc'tioil
:, that nothing herein contained shall
be construed TO relieve such corporations
from any provision in existing laws against
gambling or from any penalty of the same
And to the same purpose in section y.
after the provision that anyone who
violates law by betting shall forfeit his
STAKE. and that this penalty Is exclusive
OF all other penal ties they ask that
words exclusive Of" shall be stricken
ont md conditional to- inserted that mere
forfeiture OF bet may not be substituted
for the present effective prison penalty
But the opponents OF the bill still prefer
as the safest course and Will attempt.
first OF all, to amend the bill by striking
out the whole of sections Z, 8, and 8, on
the ground that existing laws against

Paymaster Webster, as told in The CALL,
is in trouble. The executors of the estate
of the late Catherine Tobin are after him for
$1,000 he is alleged to have extorted from
her son. The paymaster most vigorously
denies the charge, however, and says that
when the case is tried he will come out
with q clear record.
