TO STOP BETTING.


Albany. N. T.. Feb. 81 The
codes committee Of the senate and
assembly today began a public
hearing on the AgneW-Sta
bills. which, if enacted into law,
will put q stop to betting on race
tracks 10 New York State. Dis
trlct Attorney Jerome is the au.
thor OF the bills and allied with
him in the endeaVor to secure
their passage are the organized
church forces OF the entire state.
That the race track interests are
seriously alarmed over the outlook
is evident BY the strenuous efforts
they are now making to kill the
bills in committee and prevent
their being reported to the legis-
lature.

new LOCOMOTIVES
USED FOR TEST RUNS
Will Make Trip from New
York to Boston in Four
and a Half Hours.

The New Haven road is having fif-
teen passenger locomotives built to
haul express trains through from New
York to Boston on a schedule of four
and half hours. This service will be
inaugurated on some Of the limited
trains after the electric motors are
hauling trains as far east as Stamford.
The new locomotives are to be of
very heavy type, with high driving
wheels and with the very latest i'm
provementS. These engines are to be
of the standard of the Pennsylvania
railroad. While the four and one-half
hour schedule has not yet been an
nounced 1t is understood that 1t will be
inaugurated for some Of the limited
trains as soon as the electric service is
ready to Stamford, and some Of the
more important Improvements on the
roadway are completed. It is stated
that these new locomotives will cost
the most Of any ever built for the New
Haven road.
The company is also having some fine
and powerful locomotives built at Phil
adelphia and Schenectady. 1t has been
asked by some if the electric power is
to be substituted for steam on the en-
tire New Haven road. why so many
steam locomotives are being built. 1t
is stated, however that the machines
now building will be only few among
the several hundred engines of the New
Il substituted for steam all the way
between New York and Boston for
the passenger service, that the steam
locomotives can all be used for hauling
freight trains.
