GAMBLING STOPPED
BY GOVERNOR FOLK OF MISSOURI
How He Upheld the Law In the Face
Of Fierce opposition-Raid that
Closed DeImar Race Track


Among other laws passed by the
Missouri Legislature which had the
active opposition OF the corporations
mt long range. was the law prohibiting
race track gambling and making II u
felony. Thc st. Louis race track.
known ns the Dcimar track. was one
of the most active gambling places In
the country. and tho telegraph com.
panics sent the reports OF the Delmar
races all over the land. turning a
pretty penny thereby. The truck was
outside the corporation at ST. Louis, In
ST. Louis county. where the governor
seemed To have no power to enforce
the Law.
Tho Dcimar people kept on racin.
and gambling. Local sentiment In st.
Louis county was with them. and nat
urnily the local officers were In sym
paihy with the gamblers. and they In
vitcd all Missouri to laugh nj Its over.
xcaioas governor. Lawyers very gen.
orally agreed that tho governor had
NO power: but Folk determined for
himself that II was not only his r!sht
bu, his duty TO stop organized crime
anywhere In tho state.
So ono day n squad OF ST. Louis po-
iiccm~n appeared at tho gates of tho
Dcimar tracks and asked for admis.
sion. and being refused. departed. That
was all. Tho next day they appeared.
asked fof admission. aud being re.
fused. walked In. They made no ar.
rests. but stood around. and left when
tho races were over. The next day
the same squad Of policemen appeared
AT tho Eaics. marched In and at the
proper timc arrested the bookmakcrs.
