THE CHURCH AND
 THE RACE TRACK
BETTING IS TO BE RUN DIFFER
 ENTLY HEREAFTER.
Fool Room Betting to Be Abolished Under New Agreement And Wagers at Race Track to
 Be Restricted.

New York, March 17.-Rev Dr Thomas R. Slicer confirmed the re- port last night of the existence of an agreement between the Jockey club and the state conference of religions by which race track betting is to be regulated in the future. The details of this agreement he refused to make public. He said:
 '"The agreement will have the eff feet of restricting betting at the race track and abolishing the pool rooms. Of course persons will still be able to make bets over the tele- phone and settle the wagers by the newspaper odds the next day"
 The existing agreement, he said, was entered into between F. K. Sturgis of the Jockey club and Jo- seph S. Auerbach, its counsel, and himself acting for the religious com mittee. The agreement, Dr Slicer said, had been unanimously adopted by the stewards of the Jockey club. It will go into effect at the Bennings meeting which opens on March 26. He concluded:
 Legitimate sport can exist with out gambling. We would like to wipe out gambling altogether if pos- sible, but if it can't be suppressed 1t must be regulated. We don't want to make a crusade, but to restrict betting. The poolroom interests are behind the anti-race track betting bill. It has been inspired by them"
 Philip J. Dwyer, an important member of the Jockey club, is quot ed to-day as having declared last night that the club had no agree ment with the clergymen. He said the proposition was ridiculous. Au- gust Belmont could not be interview ed. The Jockey clubs attorney, Jo- seph Auerbach, said a statement would probably be issued to-day af- ter he consulted MT Belmont.

THE LATHROP TROUBLE.
Efforts to Settle Differences Said to
 Re Nearing Success.


 It is possible that a settlement of the differences between Mrs Lathrop and her husband may be effected this evening as counsel on both sides secm- ed to be very happy this afternoon when questioned on the matter.
 NIT Lathrop has made two ar three offers of settlement and while they have not been rejected. they are far from satisfactory. Still the prospect of a settlement was brighter this af- ternoon than since the voice of the supreme court was heard in the mat ter.
 Mrs Lathrop Is still in New York with friends and in letter to local friend she said that if her husband was as generous to her as he has been to his counsel their differences would have been adjusted long ago. she no doubt refers to the mortgage for ss..lo her husband gave on his prop erty to his counsel. a few days ago.
 Neither attorney would say much about the case except that anything is liable to happen at any time. They fear fhat the slightest indiscretion on their part might tend to disrupt the negotiations.

the root and seed of the so-called third house, or lobby. at Hartford. It has long been a matter of public comment that certain influential poll ticians have found it profitable to appear at the biennial sessions of measures designed to benefit the privileged interests al the expense of the whole people. A political sys- tenn which nurtures such parasites is indeed one sadly in need of remedial attention. These lobbyists thrive by methods which cannot survive the sunlight of publicity. and in the long run it is a question if the interests which employ them are not more injured than benefited.
 ''I believe that one of the greates. safeguards for the protection of the people and for the purity of legisIs ton is the referendum. As I have already stated. am strongly of the conviction that every important mat ter should be submitted to the peo- pie. whom it immediately affects and eoncerns- It has worked weII wher- ever tried and our experience here in Bridgeport has shown that if the peo- pie of this city had had the opIpor- tHnity to pass upon all the important measures affecting the interests of the city much public sandal and tur- moil would have been avoided and the interests of the city would have been promoted

GONE FOR TEN DAYS.
Strange Disappearance of Miss Min
 nie COwles of FOrestville.

Where is Minnie Estelle Cowles, the manager of the telephone office at New Milford? The question Is puzzling the minds of multitude of her friends and is of vital interest to her mother, Mrs Ellen Cowles of Forestville, and John w.

 Miss Cowles. who is 2S years old, Is an up-to-date business woman, and from the first of February to March 3 was in the New Milford tel ephone office. On the latter date, be- cause of slight illness, she asked for few days vacation and went to her mothers home in Forestville for a rest. On that Saturday Mir Tyrol went from Hartford after office hours and spent the remainder of the day at the Cowles home. Miss Cowles re- mained at home until Wednesday morning, March z, when, saying that she was feeling better, she packed a suit case with various articles of the toilet and wearing apparel. intend- ing to take the train for New Mill ofrd. She missed the train and so took the third-rail car to Hartford.
 Ten days have passed since she left home that morning and she seems to have disappeared. Four letters received by different friends and postmarked from the central postotflce, New York city. only deep en the mystery and fill the minds of all with puzzling doubts and suppo- sitions. On Thursday, the day after Miss Cowles left home, and while her friends supposed her to be, back in the telepnone office in New Milford. her mother received letter from her whicn said that after arriving in Hartford she had Ielt so badly that she ad gone to "Dr Smiths" for treatment. Dr Smith" told her that she was suffering from typhoid fever.
 MT and Mrs F. E. Stowe of Plain- vile, Miss Cowles's sister and broth er-in-law. at once went to New York, but found no trace Of the missing girl. The New York police were mo- tiled and have since been hunting. thus far without the slightest clue.

CHARRED REMAINS
 TAKEN OUT TO-DAY
NUMBER OF DEAD AT PUEBLO
 WILL REACH THIRTY-sIx.
Only One Entire Body Thus Far Recovered-All the Others Badly Burned-Blame for Wreck
 Placed on the Operator,

Pueblo, Col, March 17.-While the exact number of lives lost in the Adobe wreck on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad will never be known, it undoubtedly will take rank among the great disasters in the history of railroading. Conservative estimates on the loss of life place the number of dead at 36. Sixteen charred, mangled and unrecognizable bodies lie in the Pueblo morgue, five other persons are known to be dead and possibly a score of bodies were burn ed to ashes.
 There was not a single entire body recovered from the wreckage with the exception of the engine men, who although mangled had not been reached by the flames that swept through the wrecked cars.
 Bits of charred flesh and piles of bones were all that indicated that a holocaust had occurred, but trained eyes picked out the pelvic bones and from these it was seen that so far as the search had progressed no less than thirty-six people had perished.

DOGS RUN IN TO-DAY.
A Bunch of Them are Waiting Own.
 ershiD or a Bullet,


 Half dozen dogs were pulled in to-day for not having their muzzles properly adjusted. People have an idea that so long as the muzzle is on the dogs head, either adjusted or open, it satisfies the law. The own CTS of the dogs alluded to will find to their loss this evening that tech nical evasion of the law is sufficient to bring about the dogs death by the proper application of bullet. Su- perintendent Beach reminded the officers to-day that the law was still on. even if the dogs muzzles were off, and to pull in every dog found running around the streets not prop erly muzzled.

Both engines were smashed, 15 cars were derailed and several of them as we'll as the tender of one engine, roll ed down the bank.

IN BROAD OAKS.

The four citizens named in this
article are trying to force the beau
ties and advantages Of Incorporation
on the people Of Broad Oaks and
have quietly announced themselves
for Office. with the intention of MAX
ing an active campaign as follows:
Republican ticket-William Il.
McWhorter, for mayor, and John
Cottrill for chief Of police.
Democratic ticket-O. @. Owens,
for mayor and Joseph Umoerger for
chief.
Mr.. Owens knows he would make
good mayor because he has tried it
and Mr.. McWhorter is confident he
would make just as good because he
known what sort of a mayor Mr..
Owens was. 1t is sure thing
either one of them would be tan eS-
cellent mayor, and no one doubts
that either Of the other two would
be all right for chief Of police.
