BENNING BOOKS
FACING TROUBLE
Attempt to Stop Alleged
Gambling in Progress.
PROTEST WITH Mr.. KNOX
w. F. Crafts Seeks to Halt Work of
Pencilers at the
Track.

The Department Of Justice is consid-
ering a protest made by Wilbur F.
Crafts against the course of District
Attorney Beach in refusing to begin on
his own motion prosecutions against the
authorities of the Washington Jockey
Club for the purpose of stopping alleged
gambling at the Benning track.
Last summer Mr. Crafts wanted Mr.
Beach to begin proceedings OF this kind
but the District Attorney took the po-
sition that, IN view of the decision OF
Judge Bradley, in 1899. he did not feel
he was called on to take the initia-
tive.
Sent to the President.
He said if anyone would make com
plant he would give it the considera-
ton it deserved. Mr.. Crafts was not
satisfied and entered a protest through
ais attorney, Mr. Shoemaker, 10 the
President.
The President referred the protest to
Attorney General Knox for an investi-
cation to determine the justification fol-
the position taken by Mr.. Crafts. The
investigation is now going on, and it is
expected a determination will be
reached in a short time. The Attorney
General has asked Mr.. Beach for all in
GLIDING a copy Of the decision of JUS
tice Bradley. in 1899.
The difficulty arises from the fact
that there are two conflicting decisions
relative 10 bookmaking at the Bennfng
track. In 1886 the Court of Appeals
held that boozmaking at Benning was
gambling within the meaning of the law
OF 1883, which has since been reincOrpOr-
ated into the code Of the District.
In 1899, in upholding a demurrer to al
indictment for alleged gambling at Ben
ming, Judge Bradley took the view thai
betting was permissible under the act
regulating 1t, as it was there carried on.
Bradley's Decision.
The question for the Department OF
Justice to determine is whether the
decision Of Judge Bradley is determine
tive in the present state Of things, OF
whether the decision Of the Court OF
appeals applies.
If it is found the decision of Judge
Bradley is sound as applied to existing
conditions at Benning, then no doub

Another Panhandle Book.

The News has recently re-
ceived from John II. Wills, of
Amarillo, Texas. nicely gotten
up booklet of 40 pages entitled
"FactS from the Farmers and
Stock Raisers of the Panhandle
of Texas" 1t gives the exper-
fence of our Oldest settlers
touching what they have done
in the past and what in their
opinion, the rich earth of this
part of Texas will do tor the
homeseeker from other parts if
they will but tickle its bosom.
Among those who have con-
tributed to its pages from this
county are:
Sheriff Uphold, G. T. Word
and County Judge, A. N. Hen
son. The booklet is also taste
fully illustrated with scenes on
the canyon, of stock, wheat and
oats in the shock, street pic
lures, business bouses and resi-
dences, and also a panhandle
map. 1t also gives the rainfall
at Amarillo from 1892, to 1908.
While the booklet itself fails
to mention it, the News feels
sure that it is intended for dis.
tribution, and it advises those
of its readers who live away
off" and who are now leaning in
this direction to send for copy.

his face as the car rounded the curve, and.
in her childish excitement. ran toward it.
She got on the track directly in front Of the
