SOME BETTING ABUSES

Turf columns in the daily newspapers have
a great deal TO say about the big bets made on
the races by certain so-called .plungers." One
of these persons, j. j. Ryan, was arrested the
other day for extradition 10 Missouri, 10 an
swer charges of fraud in a "get-rich-quick'
scheme which he is said to have managed in
the boldest and most audacious manner. He
promised his dupes sure profits of per cent
week. This OF course was a dishonest as
Surance. Six per cent week amounts to more
than 300 per cent a year. No combination Of
gamblers can be confident of heapng up gains
so enormous by any form of racetrack specula-
ton. In fact, wagers horsefesh, and also
waSers against the animals. must inevitably re-
suit i'll disappontments in large proportion of
instances.
II was brought out in St Louis that some
Of Ryans associates had been brbng Post
office employees in order 70 obtain mail privi-
leses TO which the concern was not entitled
Ryans schemes were exposed and his gambling
game was broken up. Then he came East,
bought some horses. and has been running
them with considerable success on the tracks
In this State. 1t is surprising that the Jockey
cub has permitted 'getrich-quick' manipu-
latOr of such notorious character TO haunt his
colors in the faces OF honorable and high minded
turfmen He should have been kept off the
grounds of the racing associations, and his
'plungng operations should have been pre-
vented. Now Circuit Attorney Folk has taken
his case in hand, and the days Of Ryan's plung-
ing are probably ended
In various parts of the country the sentiment
against betting on horses has gained much
strength. The principal course in the West
that of Washington Park, in Chicago. closed
its meeting after a few days because the
city government sent a big force of detec-
hVes and policemen TO the grounds and drove
the bookmakers out of the betting ring. and in
that way cut of consdera BILE part of rhe
revenues of the organization. Wherever there
is betting ring the bookmakers contribute di-
rectly or indirectly to the receipts of the asso-
citation which controls the grounds Now tbe
grand jury OF Cook County has indicted q nuu
Der OF bookmakers, and intends to suppress
gambling on horses within the county limits
In THIS State under the existing laws il seems
TO be practically impossible TO do AWAY with

Sir: The Democracy. imagining that 1t has been

Parker is a strong man, of good reputation and

WORK FOR COUNCIL
LIVE QUESTIONS TO COME BE
 FORE CITY FATHERS.
Will Be First Meeting of Council Since Greater Montgomery Act
 Was Declared Constitutlcnh by Supreme Court.

The City Council of Montgomery to- night is due to hold one of the most iIn- portant meetings of the year. The meet | ing will be the first time the city law makers have assembled since the supIeliio court of Alabama decided that the treat or Montgomery Act was constItutloiiai, N'sl;, Mayor Carr will send in message call ing the aldermen's attention to the de- cision of the court and recommending cer- fain action for suburban improvements now that Greater Montgomery IS cer- tainty. The legislative machinery TOT the accomplishment of these improve ments will be started tonight.
 The ,ss,e of s5O. 900 in bonds to build the new school houses in the annexed terri tory has been held up pending definite abatement of the question of the constitu- fionality of the city extension bill. Some action or instruction to city officials on this bond matter is expected.
 The sites for the new fire stations have been selected, but the buildings and the new apparatus are things of the future. The fight on the Greater Montgomery Act blocked further progress towards safety from fire for the suburbs. Now this ob- stacle has been removed and some defln- ite results are loCISed for.
 The residents of the annexed territory have been in the city since October 1st, and with the exception of securing lights
 
 the annexation.
 There are other matters of moment to come before the council. Further action towards the rebuilding of the burned Her ron Street School is looked for. The Council at it's last meeting went on record as favoring the immediate rebuilding of the school.
 The mule ordinance will be reported to the Council tonight from the Street Com mittee accompanied by both minority and majority report. This ordinance was introduced by Alderman Ryan and 1t forbids the driving of mules through the streets unless they are tied in some way. The minority report on the ordi- nance 1t is understood, will be submitted by Chairman Roemer. The majority re- port 1t Is said will be signed by Aldermen Teague and Mcintyre who believe that the present ordinance on the subject Is sufficient and that inasmuch as Mont gomcry Is the second largest mule mar ket in the world no restrictions not abso- lutely demanded should be placed around that business.
 The Police Committee will make its re- port upon the appointments of Gladden. Harrison and E. w. Graham to succeed Sergeants H. M. Bowling and John G. Thomas. Whatever the report of the committee is, and the committee has kept It's own counsels some sort of par Iiamentary fight Is expected And other like matters will come before the Council.
