chum had been planning for six mon tn a
to take trip across the country, and
Yesterday, instead of going to school,
they sneaked into an empty box car

particular are a special order in the Sen
ate for next Wednesday. In that house
the penal code bin has been amended
In committee so as to take effect Sept.

amendment eliminated.
During the debate on the first bill
pmsndempnts were offered to make
1t take effect Sept. !. Oct. / and
Dec. 81; to provide for payment OF
wagers out of general fund made up
through increased admission fees: to
proyide an alternative penalty OF $3.50.
whereas the bills now prescribe I'M
prisonment only as recommended by
Gov. Hughes. Assemblyman Oliver
Dem,ocrat. of New York;. led OF the
attack speaking first in support OF his
amendment deferring the taking effect
OF the bills until Dec. 81. He took the
view that it was proposed to coniscate
property of men who had made large
Investments under the protection OF
Republican legislation" and that they
should therefore be given time in which
to dispose Of their investments.
Assemblyman McCue Democrat, New
York; took a similar position, adding
that the proposed legislation would
throw thousands of men out of employ
ment. Their business" he said, mas
been legalized by the State Of New
York. and they ought to be given fair
chance 10 get out Of the business
Assemblyman Cuvillier. of Manhat-
tan. made a defense of racing.
Assembyman Hart, the introducer Of
the bill. said there was no need to dis
cuss the moral issue, and he according
ly talked about t. constitutionality OF
the measure.
"Appropr ate laws" he said, should
be passed to suppress gambling. The
Percy-Gi;ay law Is not appropriate. as
is shown by statistics
Majority Leader Merritt supported
the bill. A vote on the Oliver amend
ment was then taken and 1t was de-
feated. only eighteen members favorlns
at-Cuv!ller, Donnely, Eagleton, Fay,
j. A. Foley. Garbe, GeogheGan. Gluck.

The other amendments were also voted

HEAD Of STEEL TRUST
IS AN OPT|M|ST
Judge E. Fl. Gary Sees the Bright Side of the
Business Depression and Says Signs
Portend Retur n of Activity

Judge E. H. Gary, formerly OF Chi
cago, after whom Gary was named,
and now chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the United States Steel cor
poration, the largest business organi-
cation that was ever formed in human
history, is thorough optimist con-
corning the financial and Industrial flu
ture. He believes that conditions in
the business world are already normal,
with a few scattered exceptions, and
that these weak places will be
strengthened by natural causes very
soon.
Judge Gary does not expect a boom;
he does not anticipate so active and
prosperous a year as 1905 or the first
eight months of 1907, but he believes
that the business interests of the coun-
try are rapidly settling down into
healthy, wholesome conditions that
prices will be maintained and wages
will be continued, and that the de-
mands for all products, both of the soil
and the factories, will afford a reason
able profit to all concerned In the pro-
duction. There has been no period in
the history of the country or in the
history of the world when the financial
commercial, industrial and transport
tation interests were in such an en-
couraging condition, and, although the
freight traffic has fallen off and a
great many cars and locomotives are
idle, Judge Gary says that a compari-
son between the volume of business
handled today and that of FIVE or three
years ago will show that the move
ment of commerce is natural and en-
couraging. There has been a consid-
cradle falling of from the enormous
traffic of 1907, but that was unreason-
ably large. and 1905. will compare ia
vorably with any other year.
The prices of stocks are gradually
advancing, which shows that the con-
fidence of the public In the great cor
porations is being restored. A seat on
the stock exchange was sold the other
day for its full value; men who mort
gagged their homes and other real es-
tate to raise cash to carry them over
the panic are paying off these obliga-

tions, the banks are showing greater
confidence in their customers; the
wholesale trade in all lines of mer-
chandise is resuming normal condi
tions; the spring trade in the retail
stores is as large as it ever was ex-
cept in jewels and some other luxuries,
and the army of unemployed is being
gradually reduced in numbers, because
nearly all the factories are now run
ming on full time to fill orders and
the demand for every form of manu-
featured goods is becoming healthful
and natural The drummers are all out
on their regular routes and they are
sending in the usual lists of orders in
most cases, showing that normal con-
ditions have been resumed in the mer
camille trade throughout the interior.
Large enterprises which were aban-
doned or postponed are being taken
UP again and are likely to be carried
out as originally proposed. Several
large loans have been recently nego-
tiated on ordinary terms by corpora
lions. and the money will be expended
in the employment of labor and the
purchase OF materials. All signs point
to a complete restoration of activity
and confidence, and Judge Gary is con-
WINGED that the remainder of this year
will be as prosperous to everybody as
could be expected in a presidential
campaign.
Il don't know why it should be So
said Judge Gary, but the year of a
presidential election is seldom a good
year for business. Nevertheless, 1908
in my opinion will be up to the average
in every respect.
For the near future much depends
upon the platforms and the nominees
of the conventions to be held by the
two great political parties during the
early summer Of 1908. If platforms
should be adopted which are sound,
| reasonable and conservative, and the
candidates to be selected are men who
have proved themselves to be honest
and wise and solicitous for the welfare
of the whole people, the effect on our
business will be of great and immedi-
! ate benefit"
