That race track gambling is not only
recognized by the United States gov
>rnment is contention which is apt
TO be challenged wherever made.
Especially would the very idea be
secuted as preposterous in communi-
ties where the local authorities have
promptly and successfully put their
feet down on any attempt at bookmak-
ing in public, even between individu-
ais.
Yet that Uncle Sam recognizes the
gambling instinct as one of the potent
factors in the success of racing be-
tween thoroughbreds is, according to
an eminent legal authority, amply
shown in the fact that the protection
Of gamblers is one of the duties of the
postotfice department.
While the occasional visitor to the
race course who may admit having
backed his own or some one else's
Judgment with real money is apt to re-
sent the assertion that he is a gam
bier, the term can hardly be regarded
as harsh or uncalled for when applied
to those who regularly pay for correct
information from one or more of the
numerous tipsters, who offer as an ex-
cuse for charging for their advice the
statement that they are or have been
owners, trainer:t jockeys, clockers'
etc.
Do you know that "Old Bill Jones,
expert clocker;;" Former Jockey
Smith, "William Brown, the man
with the old sombrero," and the rest
of the tipsters, who charge from 81 a
week to $40 a day for information re-
garding ''bottled-up sleepers" are
compelled to file their selections with
postofice inspector long before the
races in which their so-called good
things" are called?
This is one Of the methods by
which Uncle Sam safeguards plunger
and piker, student" and regular"
alike
Nor does the protection stop here
The literature that passes between
tipster and customer Or prospective
client often finds it's way into the
hands of the wideawake inspectors
Many of the tipsters boldly ask
that money he sent to them to be
played on certain horses on stipulated
dates. Nor are they modest in the
sums suggested. Commissions of $500
and even more are sometimes asked
and occasionally farwarded
Unless the would-be commissioner
is known to be reliable and as honest
as betting commissioners can be he is
apt to find his communication ignored.
If Uncle Sam gets hold of one
of these send-me-al e-allthe-money-y you can
spare circulars a stop order is imme-
diately issued, and this is invaria bly,
followed by a permanent fraud order.
When Special Inspector Leland
came to New York last winter he
made no secret of his intentions re-
garding certain tipsters who were re-
ported to have exhausted the patients
of some of their clients by methods
which were beyond the pale Of the
law
Mr.. Leland determined that no tip
ster should be allowed to make any
false statements regarding his re-
sources, his methods, Or his attain
ments.
To this end tipsters we're invited to
send their daily selections to his office
for comparison with any subsequent
claims that might be made.

Spread of Esperanto.

''The other day, at the Cafe Napo-
litain, a favorite haunt of journalists
and men of letters, French and for.
eign," says a Paris correspondent, Il
sat beside three tourists-an Aus.
strian, a Bulgarian and an Italian
who, ignorant Of each others native
tongue, talked in Esperanto. To me
it was revelation, in the sense that
hearing or seeing thing is SO much
more conclusive and impressive than
reading about it."

COST OF BATTlESHIPS.
One Built by Government Cost more
Than One by Contract.

Secretary Metcalf today issued a
statement showing in detail the eN'
act cost of construction of the sister
battleships Connecticut and Louisiana
the former built by the government at
the New York navy yard and the lat
ter by the Newport News shipbuilding
company. From this it appears that
the government-built ship cost COM
plete $359,42523 more than the private
built ship. The exact figures were, in
Guiding armOr and turret mounts and
machinery, for the Connecticut, &c.
34O.247.63 and for the Louisiana, So
$50, S22.4O. 1t appears that the Louisi-
ana's armor weighed 1928 tons more
than that of the Connecticut and there
We're some other slight differences In
turret mounts, etc.

Imprint Of Hands Found.

Ray Hunter is said to be the leader

morning and when asked if he WIS

office with dry eyes and never whim
pered for an instant. He would not
tell of other boys having been engaged
in certain burglaries and allowed his
brother and Ray Hunter to doc the
talking
Hunter told how they schemed and
planned their rObberies during the day
and how some of the boys who are
retained at the Parental school during
the night hit upon the idea of getting
out at nikht by lowering a rope which
was tied to the elevator. He "suueal-
ed" on other boys guilty of crimes
and also told of number of depreda-
tions in which he and other youths
had been engaged.

In conversation with Chief Mallory
young Hunter stated that their adept !

brought about by the manual training
received in the school where they
we're taught to handle tools.
