Few people who read the announcement
In The News OF tho incorporation Of
horse breeders association In this state
few weeks back realized what the forma-
ton OF the company meant for racing In
this city.
The fact that Maurice NJ. Minton, the
first named in the list OF incorporators'

Iy associated in number OF ways with
August and Perry Belmont, who are
prominent and important factors in the
American Jockey club. lends considerable
significance. There Is only ono place IN
Cranston that suggests itself as available
for an enterprise OF this sort. and that vs.
Nairagansett Park. And when the possi-
bility is suggested that the American
Jockey club, whica is the leading patron
and promoter Of hlgh-class running races
on number OF famous tracks, is behind

driving park becoming one OF the centres
OF high class meets. in which the best and

This estimate of the relativS weights OF

lett last evening. While not caring to be
quoted as making any statement regard
ing the plans OF the company or the pos

said he had no irtnsation. Mr.. Bartlett
appeared but little cognizant OF the real
purposes for which the company was

43 DAYS OF
SESSION
HAVE GONE

Does IL seem possible? Forty-three
days of the session of the general as
sembly gone and nothing done that
amounts TO much--a few corporation bills
and Child Labor bill passed, you say.
Granted. and such A Child Labor bill, the
ones most interested would scarcely rec
ognize the measure they introduced and
the manufacturers smile a happy little
smile"
That's the way one man put IL who has
followed the course OF the legislature dur
ing the past session with interest, ana the
general opinion OF other people seems To
be that this mans opinion Is about right.
1T does seem." said the Interested cid
zen. that they might pass upon some
OF the important measures earlier in the
session instead OF leaving them till last
and then either rushing them through
without proper consideration, or letting
them get lost I'm the shuttle"
That the plaint OF the aforesaid cit-
zen is not without some reason may be
seen by perusal of the records OF the
several committees OF the house OF rep
resentatives During the week the house
passed about ten or IL bills of various
sorts, mostly minor matters and few
corporation measures, which have by the
way been the chief sort of bills. which
have received prompt consideration this
session.
A RAFT OF BILLS.
Prior TO this work there were in the
care of the house committe on judiciary
about II bills and many others have been
added since
Special legislation about "a OF which II
were for womans suffrage; finance COM
mittee 90 carrying over $4,000. which is
held up for lack OF funds; corporations
committee. about a dozen, education, one
militia, two-one of which has been
passed; charities and corrections, a BAR
rel OF petitions for a woman's reforIna-
tory; fisheries, one; elections, two, relat-
ing TO the contested Coventry seat; state
property, one: executive communications,
governors message; accounts and claims,
three; public health. one; election laws,
two
With about II days more TO go and
that vast quantity OF legislation hung
up II will without doubt be a strenu-
otis month. this next one, and the jude
iary bill. the Court and Practice act, Will
have to be gone over yet, TO say moth
ing OF the measures TO increase the rev.
enue which are bound 10 provoke op-
position from somebody.
Hearings galore will be the rule In
both branches for both are equally load
ed up with unconsidered bills and the
laws will be made at record breaking
time unless signs are not to be relied
upon.

No wonder we call Him the Great Ply
sician.' and marvel at his acts OF heal
ing. which are recorded here and there
throughout the gospel narratives.
But Jesus possessed another healing
inf1uance which II seems 10 me was far
more powerful than His influence over
bodily Ills. / speak now OF the power
that was His Of touching the fevered
spirit and healing the souls OF men and
women afflicted with the disease OF sin
The fever which burns In the blood lays
one low IN pitiful and helpless weakness.
But the fever Of sin which burns in the
human soul prostrates every good inten-
tion, every noble quality, and leaves US,
as It were spiritually paralyzed. Better
thousand times the physical paralytic.
pitiful and heart-rending though the sight
may be. than the spiritual paralytic, a
moral wreck, devoid OF all sense OF right
eousness and living a life which is a dis
grace 20 humanity.
II maintain that your life and my life
have been touched by the influence Of
tho Christ life We live In n Christian
land surrounded by Christian influence;
we come from Christian homes; we live
In a world that Is better. purer and sweet
er because OF the ennobling Influences
which can be traced directly TO Jesus OF
Nazareth. When va think OF all this In
It's true bearing TO our own lives we
find that We have been so blessed by the
spirit % Christ that we feel like going
down on our knees and Offering n prayer

llberate murder was committed at
O'Clock yesterday morning by one OF the
three hold-up men who entered a saloon
and made the customary demand that the
persons in the place hold up their hands
and submit to being robbed.
One sleeper. an inoffensive man in the
place, who was slow to answer the order.
was shot dead as he sat in chair. Three
other men in the place obeyed and after
taking what money was In the till tho
bandits escaped.
Abraham Rieter was just about to close
I'D his saloon at sl1 North Robey street
and his three latest customers We're pre-
paring TO leave, when three masked men
entered, each armed with a revolver. and
told the proprietor, who was behind the
bar counting his receipts. to hold up his
hands
While one OF the robbers kept watch
on the saloon kesp per the other two gave
the same order 10 the customers.
Fritz Kruger, a tailor living at 4O4 wau-
bansia avenue, was sitting in n chair at
a table in the centre OF tho saloon and
did not respond at once to the command
He perhaps was dazed by the suddenness
OF the attack. He kept his hands down.
but made no move to resist Then shot
rang out and he fell forward on the table
dead. lie was shot through the head by
one Of tie desperadoes.
Paying no attention TO the dead man,
and with the utmost unconcern and pre-
cision. the robbers proceeded to ransack
the till, taking so. Fearing the shot had
attracted attention from the outside. they
did not search the men In the place. but
ran from the rear door and disappeared
In a few moments the police were noti-
fed and q wagonload Of officers arrived
at the saloon.
The district was searched and q call
was sent 10 every police station, but up
to a late hour no traces Of the robbers
we're found.

EMPIRE TRACK WILL FIGHT.
James Butler Says Its Right TO Hold Race
Meet VIII Be Tested In Court.

James Butler the president Of the Empire
City Club. was seen Yesterday with reference
TO the refusal OF the Jockey Club TO give
dates for a running meeting at the Empire
City track lie was asked what action he
proposed taking now. in view OF this reiusa!
to assign dates, and explained the situation
az fellows:
The Empire City Club made n regular
application Jan. - last 10 the State Racing
Commission for license 10 hold a running
Meeting during the racfhg season OF 1905
That body has not met officially since tho
date on which our application was fled.
md ! understand that ts first meeting will
be on the l4th or 18th inst. This will be the
first opportunity that the State Racing Com
mission will have to pass upon our applica-
ton for license. In view OF our absolute
rights to hold running meeting and oLr
readiness and ability TO comply with every
legal requirement. / am advised that the
State Racing Commission has no option in
the matter except TO grant the license ap-
piled for,
Having applied TO the State Racing Com
mission for license. We considered IL only
far that the stewards OF the Jockey Club
should be apprised OF our action, that
in arranging the dates OF the various meetin q
of their affiliated members they mi ght form
their plans so as TO avoid any clashing OF
dates between the Empire CITY GLIB and the
other tracks This was courtesy on our
part. We held out the olive branch and
wished TO get along amjcably aad friendly
with the Jockey Club. The Jockey Club
in Its Infinite wisdom has not seen NJ to recog
ni2e our friendly overtures They have
denied our application TO them for dates, a
very strong intimation that we are not wanted
In that clique.
This denial. however docs not affect
our legal status nor our rights to q license
from the state Racing Commission Properly
speaking. the licenses should first he granted.
and then the licensees. If they see ft can
meet and arrange dates TO their mutual
satisfaction Apparently this natural bust
ness method is reversed The public appear
TO think that the Jockey Club has the parn-
mount night TO say what tracks shall and
shall not race Such is not my understand
ing. The State Racing Commission has the
sole right 10 issue licenses for running meet
ings. Until this commission acts on our
application there il nothing for us TO do.
Should the State Racing Commission
refuse to grant license to the Empire City
Club. we Will then ask fhe courts 10 review
their decision. We have notified the Jockey
Club that we propose to do this, and have
again. in the interests OF harmony, asked
them 10. defer giving dates until our license
s issued. or. IN the event of its refusal, until
The matter in question has been passed on
by the courts and all rights OF the several
parties determined. We have also minated
in this communication that any complicn-
tions which may arise from their refusal
TO defer the giving out OF dates until all rights
are settled will be their doings and not ours.
