POOLROOMs NOW
AFTER TELEPHONES
Western Union Cuts Off All
Race Track News.
ORDER AFFECTS ENTIRE SERVICE

New York Officials Who Are Fighting
Poolroom Evil Pleased at Sweeping
Announcement by President clowry.
A Move Against Telephone Company.
New York, May 10.-To the delight
of District Attorney jerome, Police
Commissioner McAdoo, Captain Nor
ton Goddard and other men who are
fighting the poolroom evil, Colonel Rob
ert c. Clowry, president of the Western
Union Telegraph company, has issued
an order that the race track news serv-
ice be discontinued in all parts of the
United States.
New York felt the effect of that or
der less than many other betting cen
ters. In some of them the work Of the
pOOlrooms was at a standstill because
they had not had lime to establish sub
stitute service. Here, it is asserted,
pool selling went on without serious
interruption. The order issued by Colo
mel Clowry on the day before and made
applicable particularly to Greater New
York had given the poolroom men time
to establish fairly effective organiza-
ton, and it is said the instruments of
the New York Telephone company
were used to advantage in all the pool
rooms
After Telephone Company Now.
With the Western Union out of it ex-
cept as common carrier in handling
private race track messages the men
engaged in the crusade turned their
guns on the telephone company. Be
fore nightfall they obtained the posi-
tive promise from its officials that cv-
erything in its power would be done TO
shut of whatever service it was sup
plying TO the poolrooms.
The first order by Colonel ClowrS af-
fecieu subscribers in this city only and,
so Colonel Clowry's secretary said,
was issued by Colonel Clovry as "the
only thing he could do to stop the pool
room evil" The order did not have any
apparent effect on the evil.
The present order, however, affects
pOolrooms and other subscribers to
race track news all over the country
and was at once regarded as obviously
an answer to criticisms made that
there was nothing in the first order to
hamper poolrooms in other cities or to
prevent poolrooms here from receiving
news roundabout through other cities
The following announcement has
been made to each general superin-
tendent of the Western Union Tele-
graph company.
1T has been decided to discontinue
forthwith the collection and disTibu-
ton by this company of horse race re-
ports. You will please act accordingly" )"
There is a noticeable difference be-
tween the wording of this announce
ment which says in plain effect that
the company has gone out of the busi-
ness Of gathering racing news as well
as sending it, and the wording of the
notice by President Clowry at first,
which said only that the company had
discontinued the delivery Of race re-
ports in New York city.

TAKEN TO
CHECK EASTER DISORDERS
Russia Determined There Shall Be
No Repetition This Year of the
Kishineff Massacre.
LITTLE TROUBLE FEARED

ST. PETERSBURG. April 3.-Reports re-
ceived by the Ministry of the Interior indi-
cate that the precautionary measures taken
to prevent anti-Jewish disturbances during
Easter week, when the ignorant are easily
aroused to a sort of religious frenzy against
the Jews by the dissemination of false
stories regarding "blood atonement" will
result in the avoidance of serious trouble.
In spite of the precautions, however, il is
considered possible there may be attempts
at rioting, but the authorities may be re-
lied to suppress these with a strong
hand.
The following private telegram was re-
ceived to-day from Odessa: Reports of
anti-Jewish disturbances, which always are
common at Easter time cause more alarm
than usual this year, because of the oc-
currences of last year. The Jews here are
nervous, but the authorities have conf
dence in Governor Eidhardt, who is in
charge of the city and who is an energetic
and humane man, as well as i'm Baron
kaulbars, commander-in-chief of the troops
in southern Russia. Under the circum-
stances, therefore, anything like serious
disturbance is regarded as impossible"
The official newspapers have published
strongly worded warnings, and the CITY is
placarded with notices that all who dis
turb the peace will be severely punished.
