ALBANY. y. Y. Feb. ia BIZ in
tended to wipe out gambling at the
ace track by making it Il felony has
been introduced by Senator Cassidy
and Assemblyman Lansing.
Arrayed on the side of this proposed
law is Governor Higgins himself, the
International Reform bureau, the New
York Society For the Suppression of
Vice, the Christian Endeavor society
and religious associations and institu-
tons throughout the city and state.
1t is proposed to conduct a whirl-
wind campaign throughout the state,
starting with a large mass meeting i'll

Governor Higgins affirmed the claim
of the hackers of the bill that he stood
with them in their effort to suppress
race track gambling.
when the Percy-Gray bill legalizing
poolselling at race tracks was passed
several years ago. said the governor,
Il was one of the four or five senator's
who opposed it. l believe that, in
spirit at least, it was not constitu-
tional.
u have no hesitancy in saying that
from a moral standpoint it is impos,
sible for me to understand how the act
of Il man on one side of a fence can be
legalized While on the other side of the
fence it is 4 crime"

SYDNEY. c. B.. Feb. lin the
ruins of a fire which the authorities
believe was set deliberately to conceal
the work of a murderer the charred
bodies of Antoine Stetka. his wife n
two children were found early in the
morning near the Dominion coal mine,
ten miles from Sydney. The skulls of
the children appear to have been crush
ed in with an ak. The skull OF the
man was found some distance from the
body as if the head had been severed
by the murderer.
The Stetka family We're Of Polish eN-
traction and lived in Il small house
near the tracks of the sydney and
Louisburg railroad. Early in the
morning while a special train was run
ming from Sydney to Glace Bay the
engineer. Alexander McKinnOn. saw
the CLEAN of a fire ahead and. stop
ping the train, went to the Stetka
house. The train hands burst open the
door. and u dog ran out. bat there was
no indication that any person in the
mousse WIS ANY,. Inc AttA was ~ Do"
tense that no one could enter the dwell
ing.
1t was not until several hours later
when the fire had burned itself out
that the search for the bodies revealed
evidence that "A crime had been com
mitted.
The theory which the authorities hold
is thar the four members of the StetEa
household We're killed with an aX, pos
sibly while they slept, and that the
murderer afterward set fire to the
house and departed. No definite cieN
to the identity of the murderer has
