WEARY OF GUTENBERG TRACK
Directors Trying to Devise, Some Plan
for Getting Rid of tho Park.

A meeting of the directors of the Hud-
son County Driving Park Association,
which owns the old Gutenberg race
track, was held last night at Meyers
Hotel, Hoboken. The purpose of the
meeting was to consider the question
whether the association would retain or
dispose of the race track property There
were about ten members present includ-
ing President Baar, John N. Kruse.
Thomas Mccain and John G. Carr The
directors comprised the largest share
holders in the estate, which is valued at
s41O,0O0
Ever since horseracing was prohibited
in the State the track has ben lying idle
and has become burden upon its own
ers. There is a mortgage on the estate
of LOCO. AS no income is being re-
ceiyed from the property to pay taxes
and the interest on the mortgage, the
stockholders decided to meet and come
to a conclusion as to what they should
do A short discussion took place over
the matter. and the directors finally de
cided to appoint committee of five to
report a plan by which the track can be
made to pay expenses. If the committee
fails in this the members will try to dis
pose of the property at auction The
committee will report at meeting of the
directors to be held next week

Senator Daniel Of Virginia made strong
speech against the document. lie was on
posed TO II on several grounds, lie de.
clarcd that under 1t the United States
bound itself with shacklcs
The senator said that he opposed giving
away the rights OF the senate as a part OF
the treaty making power. To submit many
questions to arbitration would be impolitic
ne had always had good presidents, but
some time there might be bad one. Then
the country would suher. senator Daniel
also opposed selecting judges of the SUI
preme court as members Of the tribunal
He objected TO mixing our judiciary with
foreign complications. Besides tho ques-
tons submitted might come before our
courts lie also insisted that the United
States members OF the tribunal should be
confirmed by the senate. At the close of
Senator Daniels speech Senator Hour sub
mittod some questions to MIN He wanted
to know II Senator Daniel did not think 1t
satisfactory that men who had been con
flrncd to such high places IS judges of the
supreme court sit as arbitrdtars without
again being confirmed by the senate Mr.
Daniel replied that he did not believe the
senate should abtte one lot OF It's power
In a question so vitality affecting the wei
fare OF the country. Senator Honr argued
that il would be impossible 10 find men
in whom so much confidence was rcposed
ms in those who composed the greatest tri-
bunal OF tho world.
.scnatcr Lindsay followed Senator Daniel
with legal argument Intended to refute
the Virginia senator's contention that the

the ahiication of the treaty making power
of the senate He argued that the senate
would surrender nothing by accepting The
