FORGED BILL
Likely to Be Cause of Closing Race
Tracks in Missouri.


Jefferson City, Mo. Feb. PA bill
to take the place of the one stolen
from the Office of the chief clerk, was
introduced this morning and in Just
nine minutes 1t had been engrossed
and passed by the house by vote of
113 to Z.
From expressions of sentiment by
members of the senate today. 1t
seemed almost certain that the theft
of the house breeders law appeal will
result in assuring the passage of the
repeal bill introduced today. Should
this action be taken it will close every
race track in the state as the substi-
tute measure makes bookmaking and
pool selling a felony punishable by a
heavy fine.
Governor Folk has instructed the
attorney general to make a thorough
investigation; "if it takes 100000 the
guilty persons must be captured and
prosecuted" was the statement the
governor made today.
1t Is believed the man who substi-
tuted the forged house measure for the
original bill left a trail behind that
may result in his discovery There
Is an interlination in the forged sub
stitute that may furnish the clue.
There is similar handwriting in other
bills and investigation is being made
to find whose handwriting it is.

STATEHOOD
Compromise Agreed Upon by Sen
ators Teller and German.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 24.-The
advocates of statehood for Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory were much
more hopeful today of final action on
their bill Senators Teller and Cor
man have agreed to a compromise so
as to make state of these two ter
ritories and eliminate from it any ref
erence to either New Mexico or Ari-
Zona conferees on the bill who have
been appointed today but for the de-
sire of Senator Morgan to discuss the
question and the arrival of the hour
for the resumption of the Swayne inn
peachment proceedings.
Democrats are trying to persuade
Mr.. Morgan to postpone his proposed
speech until after the conferees have
been appointed. While this would re-
suit in placing the bill in much more
advantageous position than 1t now oc-
cupies it does not ensure it's passage.
