RECEIVED A SETBACK.
ActiOnOn Senator CrOt hers Anti-Isace
Track Bill Postponed by Mary
land Legislature.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Jan. 27-lt was some
what of Il cold day for Senator Crothers
today and his pet scheme the anti-race
track bill met with little setback that
surprised its supporters and may inter-
fere quite seriously with its passing.
Wien the bill came up today for pas
sage, Senator Wcstcott, Republican, Of
Kent, suggested that the bill be ordered
printed and action postponed until next
week. The action OF Senator Wcscott
was Il surprise as it was supposed that
the bill would meet with no objection in
passing the Senate.
1t seems that the act allowing betting
in this county is a clause in Il general
anti-gambling law cxempting that county
from its operation. Senator Wescott
stated that Mr.. Crothers bill to repeal
this exemption is in nature of general
law, and the Senators should have an
opportunity to study any possible effect
upon other counties. Senator Crothers
stated that he desired the bill passed at
once, but finally agreed to wait until it
can be printed Senator Crothers was
seen today and stated that he had no
doubt but what the bill would pass the
Senate by the middle OF next week at
the fur hest.
The side tracking of this measure, even
for SO short a time, caused CONSERVATION
among the anti-race track people Of this
county.
