new YORK GAMBLING BILL
Members Of Legislature Are Now
Considering Measure.
WILL PREVENT BETTING ON RACE TRACKS
GOV. HIGGINS FAvoRs BILL AND
1T STANDS A CHANCE OF BE.
ING PASSED.
WILL PREVENT BETTING ON RACE TRACKS

ALBANY, n. Y, March THE code
committee of the senate and the state
assembly will hold a joint meeting
this afternoon, to consider arguments
for and against the Cassidy-Lansing
bill. which prohibits gambling on race
tracks. The hearing was called at the
request of Rev. A. A. Gregg, field Sec
rotary of the International reform bu-
reau, who also represents the Chris
tian Endeavorers, the Society for the
Prevention of Vice, and various minis
terial associations.
1t now appears that the attack on
race gambling originated in Washing
ton, the prime mover being the Rev.
Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, superintendent
Of the International Reform Bureau,
which has it's general headquarters in
that city. For several months the
bureau has been sending letters and
literature broadcast in this state urg-
ing it's members and supporters to ask
Governor Higgins to do something to
stop race gambling. The governor ad-
mits that he has received many letters
of that kind.
DR.. Crafts visited Albany a few
weeke ago and interviewed the gov
ernor. He was informed that the gov.
ernor was in sympathy with the legis'
lation against gambling on the race
tracks. DR.. Crafts drafted the bill
which was afterwards put into shape
for introduction by Anthony Comstock.
The Rev. A. S. Gregg, who has been
lecturing for the bureau in Massa.
chusetts, was shifted to Albany and,
with the aid of influential friends, ar
ranged for the Introduction of the bill
in both branches of the legislature.
Mr.. Gregg will now give his entire
time to the interests of the Cassidy
Lansing bill and other bureau work in
this state.
1t is known that Governor Higgins
favors the bill There are also num-
Der of senators and assamblymen, not
suspected now, who will support the
bill decisively when the time comes.
The principal opposition to the bill
will come from the fair and agr1cul-
tural associations, whose five per cent
of racing receipts would be imperilled
should the bill become a law.

INDIAN ELoPERs STOPPED.
Moses Elk Whistle, a Rosebud Brave,
Languishes in Jail.

MADISON. S. D.. March IA gal
liant young Sioux has had his romance
spoiled, for the time being at least,
and is languishing in the bastile be-
cause he attempted to elope with a
young squaw contrary to the wishes of
her parents.
Moses Elk Whistle whose home is
on the Rosebud reservation, fell in love
with a handsome young woman resid-
ing on the Cheyenne reservation. She
apparently reciprocated his passion.
but not so her parents, who forbade
Elk Whistle entry to their wigwam.
Nevertheless, the young lovers met
and concocted an elopement.
They selected a dark night, when
the weather was comparatively mild,
and, mounted On one horse, set off for
the Rosebud agency, where they de-
signed to be married and make their
future home. The girl soon afterward
was missed, and papa and mamma at
once applied TO the Indian police for
assistance. A hard-hearted Indian po
liceman soon got on their trail and
his horse not being required to carry
double, he overlook them in the coded
Sioux lands, between the Missouri riv-
er and the Black Hills.
The warrior was at once placed un-
der arrest for being off his reservation
without permission. and the young
woman was returned to her parents.
The affair created considerable excite
ment in the best Sioux circles.

FLOOD ENDS LITIGATION.
Nature Takes Hand in Fight Ags.ins'
Seizure of Dam.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, March Z.
While lawyers and courts represent
ing the state of Iowa, the city OF
Marshalltown, private land interests
and two big ice companies have been
fighting for possession Of, or control
of, the little Iowa river dam here,
nature has taken a hand, and, disre-
garding the power of the law or the
rights of courts, has wrested the bone
of contention from all concerned. The
Iowa river has been rising rapidly for
several DAYS. Yesterday afternoon the
water carried away a third of the DAM
and before night another third of 1t
was swept down stream. The rest is
in immediate peril.
BY suits in the district court, by
iniunctiOns. by restraining orders from
the supreme court and by condemna-
ton proceedings the owner thus far
has prevented the city frim seizinz 1t.
Now all the parties interested in the
various suits are resting on their oars,
but the probable result will be new
concrete dam built by the city On It's
property below the old site.

VANCOUVER, Wash, March 7.-As
a result of a decision rendered by
Judge McCredie, Clarke county has
been raised from class IA to class 13
in the classification Of counties. This
means additional expense to the coun-
ty in the way Of officials salaries.
The county treasurer will receive an
increase Of $500 per year, the county
clerk $500 and others in proportion.
The county assessor also will be plac'
ed on a regular salary basis and will
work the year round.
The question as to the class of coun-
ties in which Clarke county rightly be-
longs has been under consideration
and investigation for the past two
years. The board Of county commits
sioners, however, has resisted all at
tempts to change the classification. At
ter the matter was up before the
board a few weeks ago and the change
desired by the petitions refused, E. M
Scanlon, the county clerk, began man
damus proceedings in the superior
court, with the result that Clarke
county has been ordered by the court
to be placed in class Is.

formally announced that he would &C
cept the nomination proffered him by
the mass meeting of democratic voters
recently held in this city and will be-
come a candidate at the nominating

Mr.. Taylor has been reluctant in
accepting the nomination again, but
upon the earnest solicitation of his
friends in all parts Of the county he
finally recided to accept, if nominated
at the primaries.
The sentiment in favor of Mr.. Tay-
lor has been so pronounced and the
activity of friends SO great in his ia
vor all over the county that he feels
that it is his duty to serve the peo-
pie for another term If it is their de-

become a candidate.

official.
