human nature came into play. Book
makers are proud men, and are prone
to glory in their independence. and
their superiority to the law. So the
Delmar gentry were loaded into an
open patrol wagon, and instead of be.

tious manner TO their destination, were
driven at dead walk, six miles
through the heart of the city to the
police station, surrounded by a hoot-
ing, jibing crowd of scornful citizens.
When the crowd tired and threatened
to dissolve, the drivers of the patrol
wagon. following instructions, slowed
up or stopped to let the crowd re-
gather and jeer at the law breakers.
The next day, when it was rumored
that there would be big raid, and
that the track-frequenters would be
hauled into court, the gates of the Del
mar race track were closed, and have
been closed ever since. A notice was
posted on the Desmar gate that, owing
to the arbitrary action of the police.
the races would discontinue.
The owners of the Delmar track rep
resented great wealth and much polit-
ical power In Missouri. They com
planned bitterly that the law did not
permit the governor to use the police
in stopping felonious violations of the
law but, nevertheless, they quit. The
horses are gone, the bookmakers have
fled, and gambling upon the results OF
the st. Louis races has ceased all over
the United States.-William Allen
White, In McClures Magazine.

GAMBLING STOPPED
BY GOVERNOR FOLK OF MISSOURI
How He Upheld the Law in the Face
Of Fierce Oppositon-Raid that
Closed Ocimar Race Track

Among other laws passed by the
Missouri Legislature which had the
active opposition of the corporations
at long range, was the law prohibiting
race track gambling and making it a
felony. The St. Louis race track,
known as the Delmar track, was one
of the most active gambling places in
the country. and the telegraph com
panies sent the reports of the Delmar
races all over the land, turning a
pretty penny Whereby. The track was
outside the corporation at St. Louis. in
st. Louis county. where the governor
seemed to have no power to enforce
the law.
The Delmar people kept on racing
and gambling. Local sentiment in ST.
Louis county was with them, and nat
urally the local officers were in sym
pathy with the gamblers, and they in
vited all Missouri to laugh at it's over
jealous governor. Lawyers very gen
orally agreed that the governor had
no power but Folk determined for
himself that it was not only his right
but his duty to stop organized crime
anywhere in the state.
So one day a squad of ST. Louis po-
licemen appeared at the gates Of the
Delmar tracks and asked for admis-
sion, and being refused, departed. That
was all. The next day they appeared.
asked for admission. and being re-
fused, walked in. They made no ar
rests, but stood around, and left when
the races were over The next day
the same squad of policemen appeared
at the gates, marched in and at the
proper time arrested the Dookmakers

The secretary gave it awkwardly,
and the Princess pumped rather

The Princess turned carelessly, or

her head a little back over her shoul-

to herself.
