HORSE RAGE BETS LEGAL
so SAYS LOUISIANA COUR'
The Shreveport POOIrOom OPERATOR
Made the Test and
Won Out.

New York Sun Special Service.
New Orleans, Feb. 18.-The supreme
court Of Louisiana yesterday handed down
decision that betting on horse races was
not against the law.
This decision, although it will be hailed
gladly by racing men and breeders as
sustaining the stand that betting on horse
races does not come within the province
of gambling, was in reality a triumph for
the poolrooms. The city council of Shreve-
port passed ordinance, against them
some time ago, and the poolroom men
went to the courts and got a decision in
the lower courts declaring that under the
state law which permits betting on horse
races the ordinance was imperative. The
attorney general appealed to the supreme
court and that body upheld the lower
court. +. ~ ..-.,Hs
This is said to be the first decision by
an American court that betting on horse
races is legal. Similar decisions have been
made number of times in English courts.

The Coal Situation.

The coal famine has been slightly re-
lieved by the arrival of some soft COAL
but the dealers have no anthracite coal
and cannot promise any for orders.
Many of the larger business blocks and
public buildings, and a good many tamil
les, are having their first experience with
bituminous coal and they report an i'm.
provement on green wood, but as our
furnaces are constructed hardly adapted
for regular use. Concerning the situa-
tion the St. Adams Messenger has the
following appreciative word for the scale
company:
Among the nearly one thousand EN-
ployees of the E. & T. Fairbanks Co
Scale Works, the conditions are by ne
means bad, tor at the first sign of Goa
famine last fall this corporation, whicl
always has the interests of its men a
heart, began to collect all the coke, wood
and coal possible which is now bein,
sold to employees practically at COST"
