RACING OF HORSES
IN ARKANSAS Is
AT AN END
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Feb. 4.-The
State Senate today, by an almost unanf-
nous vote, passed the Amis bill, which
virtually kills hOrseracing in Arkansas.
The galleries and lobby of the Senate
were crowded with citizens of Hot
Springs and cIergymen representing
many denominations.
Senator Amis called the bill from the
calendar as special order and i'm
mediateIy afterward Senator Milan of
Hot Springs moved the adoption of the
committee amendment, which permitted
the selling of pools on the track while
a race meeting was I'm progress. Sem
ator Toney moved the indefinite post
pOnement of the bill and amendment.
Toney's motion was rejected. The
question then REQUIRED on the commit
tee amendment and 1t was likewise de-
feated, IL to IL. This was the test
vote.
The bill as originally introduced was
finally passed at 5 o'clock, only two
Senators, Yopp and Toney, voting in
the negative.
A poll of the house developed that
A out of the 100 members were in
favor OF the bill
The Hot Springs delegation returned
home tonight very much disappointed
over the result

directly or indirectly, by selling or buy
ing pools or otherwise. any money or
other valuable thing on any horserace
OF any kind, whether run in this State
or out of this State; that any person
who shall violate the act shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and,
for the first offense, on conviction, shall
be fined in any sum not less than $40
or more than S25. and for the second
any sum not less than SIS or more than
500, and for all offenses after the Sec
ond, on conviction, shall be fined in any
sum not more than $500 and imprisoned
in the County Jail for a term of not less
than thirty days or more than six
months.
Every bet, wager, sale of pools or
purchase of pools shall be deemed a
separate offense. Like penalties are In
fiicted upon sheriff, policemen and other
officers who fail or neglect to enforce
the law.
not SPRINGS. Ark, Feb. At the
opening of Oaklawn race track this
afternoon, Constable Smith was on hand
with fifty deputies. AS soon as the
bookmakers and their clerks began
taking bets they were arrested. After
arresting five bookmakers and their
employees, Smith desisted until the ffth
race, when another arrest was made.
AS soon as the bookmakers were ar
rested they were replaced by others
Odds were posted and bets taken by
FIVE books on all six races.
It is understood Constable Smith will
follow the same policy he pursued to-
day until the meeting comes to an end
or the Chancery Court rules against
him. With the announcement that the
Amis antipoolselling bill had passed the
Senate and would be rushed through
the House, the prevailing opinion today
was that the meeting would be declared
on before the end OF the week.

REFUSE TO ACCEPT
COMBINATION

Please do not blow this safe open.
The combination is on the reverse side
of this card"
This was the legend that stared two
clever safecrackers in the face early
yesterday morning when they entered
the office of the Pacific Supply Com
pany, 315 Bryant street, and blew the
safe open to find that there was no
money, but only books. The force OF
the explosion was such that the rear
windows of the establishment were
blown out.
The operators evidently did not be-
lieve the message left for them, al
though the combination was marked
in plain figures. They preferred to
blow the door open. and make an inves-
tigation for themselves. They were re-
warded by finding neatly balanced
ledger and other books used by the
firm.
