1t is the general understanding that

The question as to whether Senator

may say there is a possibility thar
the Kings county senator may not con-
tinue as chairman. For the most part.
however, the conversation ran along
lines regarding the situation in New

Gambling Not Denied.

There has never been any denial that
gambling is carried on at the French
Lick resort, and that big stakes are
often played for in this establishment.
One mile away are the West Baden
Springs, a rival Of French Lick, and at
that resort gambling has been carried
on unmolested for years The games are
conducted openly and without hindrance
by the authorities of the law.
The French Lick Hotel Company was
organized more than a year ago and is
composed OF several welI-known bust
ness men OF this city. Ar. Taggart was
elected president and was placed In di-
rect charge OF the resort. improvements
in buildings and furnishings were made
at n cost Of nearly $500, 600. and the re-

Prominent Republican.

Lee Sinclair. the proprietor of West
Baden, has long been prominent in Re
publican politics Of the State, and Tag
gart's high position as a Democrat and
his popularity as a host promised sue
cess from the star. The business at
French Lick springs has exceeded even
the sanguine expectations Of the incOr-
pOratOrs-
Taggart and his partners discussed the
gambling question before the Springs
were opened under the new management. Z.
1t was decided TO permit all the usual
games OF chance TO be run openly, care
being exercised that they should be con-
Quoted on the square.
Although the Indiana laws against
gambling are strict. the gaming Is car,
Tied on openly, both at French LICK ana
West Baden, and no effort has ever been
made 10 interfere with 1t. No raids have
taken place, no one has been arrested.
and no prosecutions threatened. The
residents Of the county seem to acqui-
esce in gambling at the two resorts, not
withstanding It IS prohibited by law.
Well Appointed Rooms.
The gambling rooms at French Lick
are reported to be well appointed. No
man who Is under the influence OF liquor
is allowed TO sit in" a game.
Taggart himself is said TO be not in
sympathy with gambling, and discour-
ages II among his friends. When mayor
OF this city he made successful war on
the gambling fraternity and there was
less OF II under his administration than
had ever before been known In the city.
1t is not believed here that he has any
interest IN the gambling at French LICK
except 10 receive q rental for the rooms
in which il IS conducted.

Special to The Journal.
Pierre, S. D., June 1-Since the insur-
ance companies operating in this state
took the anti compact" case into the
United States court to test the law and
met defeat, they have been talking Of
carrying it to the supreme court of the
United States, but have made no active
move in that direction. .-Ga
Instead, they have started new suit
in the state court at Mitchell, the Phoe-
nix OF Brooklyn and several other COM
panies being interested. The case is set
for hearing on June A. In it they attack
the valued policy provision Of the law
Of last winter declaring that it is uncon-
stitutional in that it delegates to the in
surance commissioner both legislative and
judicial powers, giving him the power of
fixing the form Of policy under the law,
when the Legislature should have framed
this as a. part Of the law itself. The
complaint also declares that this law is
in violation of the right Of contract.
This movement is only part of the
general attack the insurance companies
are bringing against legislation Of the last
session. is -- ~ -: ~

FRAUD LAID AT
BANKERS DOOR.
CONTEST STARTED AT FORT BEN
TON FOR AN ESTATE.
Will Revolving Former One Said to
Have Been Wrung from Deletraz,
Bowed with Years and of Unsound
Mind-'Frisco Lawyer and Banker
in League.
Special to The Jouxnal.

r
Fort Benton, Mont, June 1.-Sensational
charges OF fraud and undue influence upon
an aged man of unsound mind by a San
Francisco banker were filed in the district
court by attorneys representing Mrs.
Charles n. Pray Of Fort Benton and w.
j. Mosseshelder of San Diego, Cal.
A few months ago G. F. Deletraz. an
old-time resident of Fort Benton died in
California, leaving will dated Nov. Z,
1903, by which he left his estate, valued
at about $4,000, to Mrs. Pray and named
householder as executor. The will was
filed for probate at Fort Benton, and later
A. Ruef, a lawyer of San Francisco, filed
a protest and contest, accompanied by an
instrument dated Jan. s last, which he
represented to be the last will. This pur-
ports to revoke the November will and
to leave the entire estate to Louis Michau,
a San Francisco banker.
In the document just filed in an answer
to the Ruef protest, it Is charged that
DeletraZ was Of unsound mind on Jan. 3
last and for many months before. It is
alleged that Michau was an utter stran-
ger to Deletraz and that Lawyer Ruef was
also stranger to him.
It is further charged that Ruef and
Michau falsely represented to DeIetraz
that it was necessary for him to sign the
instrument they presented to him, which,
it Is asserted, Is the document represented
to be the January will. It is contended
that Deletraz was wholly ignorant of the
nature Of the instrument that he signed.
