plain English that individuals who be-
come members of our church shall not
thereafter be made members of clubs OF
other organizations not named IN lts

religious denomination demands the
faithful attention and labor Of it's men,

THE DEADLOCK HOLDS.
Two Breaks, One to Lowden and the
Other to Dencen.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 1.-Two
breaks, today, in the Illinois Republic
can convention. one for the benefit of
Frank o. Lowden of Chicago, and the
other in the interest of Charles S. De-
neen, states attorney for Cook county,
failed to break the deadlock. The con-
vention took a recess until IL o'clock,
tomorrow morning, without having
materially changed the situation.
The first break came during the
morning session. when the Yates votes
in Kane and Will counties were thrown
to Lowden. After voting for Lowden
for two ballots, these votes returned
to Gov. Yates, these delegates declar-
ing that it was useless to remain long
er with Lowden, because of his inabil-
ity to attract other support.
Tonight, Lawrence Y. Sherman
threw his entire strength to Charles S.
Dcneen and his delegates voted with
Dencen for two ballots. Dncen gained
Il few additional votes, but there was
no stampede to him. Shermans men
will vote for Deneen, tomorrow, and
will give him an opportunity to devel-
Op his full strength. but no one, to-
night, believes that he will swing the
nomination.

NO RACING NEWS.
Action of President Of the Western
Union Co.

New York, May 17.-Robert G. Glow
cry, president and general manager of
the Western Union Telegraph Co., sud-
denly shut off all service of racing news
to all classes of subscribers in this city,
today. This action of Col. Clowery is
taken entirely on his own initiative
without instructions from his board of
directors or any pressure from the au-
thorities and was the result of claims
recently made public by police officials
that the pool-rooms of New York city
could not exist without the Western
Union service.
Recently civil organization called
the City Club said that if the Western
Union would assist them the pool room
evil in this city could be overcome.
This action of Col. Clowery is the re-
suit.
District Attorney Jerome began, to-
day, an inquiry into the pool-room news
matter. He had before him Captain +.
Norton Goddard of the ANTHOLOGY So
cicty, SuDt. Burke of the same society.
and a man named Jones. Burke and
Jones, it is stated, told of arrangeme tents
made by which a racing wire was TO be
placed in Burke's house.
The pool-rooms here went on doing
business, today. after the Western Uni
on Telegraph Co. discontinued the deliv-
cry of reports of horse races to it's sub
scribers in this city. In many cases
the delay in receiving reports did(nOt
exceed 10 minutes when the services of
the company stopped. Reports were
sent from Morris park track to points
in New Jersey from which they were
telephoned to the pool-rooms in New
York. In several instances it is said,
the desired information was obtained
by way of Boston and Providence.
Proprietors of pool rooms are, to-
night, planning the establishing of re-
lay stations in neighboring states and
they estimated that the delay IN the re-
ceipt of racing news by this system
will not exceed two minutes. though
the expense to them will be greater.
